Before reaching the entrance of the wall, and I saw that there were several guards there, I looked around me which was so open, and saw a road filled with horse-drawn carriages.
Being on top of this hill, I could see the conditions down there and found Catrine had gone in there with them.
Looking at my outfit that was wearing a prisoner t-shirt with shorts, I took a breath to calm my mind.
"In that case, I'll have to find new clothes to get in there."
However, this outfit is so flashy, orange with my prisoner's jersey number that makes me feel uneasy. Therefore, if I don't want to stand out and be suspicious of them later, I must immediately look for new clothes that are similar to clothes in this world.
There's only one option, take the clothes off the few people who want to get in there.
Turning to the right, I saw the horse carriage slowly moving towards the line to get in there.
A little steep, I walked carefully towards it.
When I got to the bottom, I started walking slowly until I passed the horse carriage.
Saying, "The carriage is very slow," for a moment, I got into the carriage through the back.
"Umph..."
Realizing the impact, the person who was driving the horse looked back.
A moment later after he looked back, I stretched my hand towards him and glared at him.
"If you want to survive, don't say anything and take me inside!"
"Ugh... Yes."
Frightened by my threat, this old man with slightly gray hair then continued his journey towards it.
Looking through the contents of this horse carriage, I found several items that seemed to be for trading.
"Hey, Uncle..."
"Uh... Yes?"
"You're a merchant?"
"Y-Yeah, that's how it is."
"Ah, I see, so the trading system still has to take the merchandise through directly. What are you trading, Uncle?"
"I-I'm just a medicinal plant seller."
"Oh, you're very noble merchandise. Without medicinal plants, it would be very difficult to heal wounds."
"That's true… but… since the development of magic has advanced, even healing magic has developed, it's rare for them to buy this medicinal plant of mine. But even so, I like to do what I like. Even though the development of magic helps a lot, I will still sell these medicinal herbs to anyone who is injured and in need."
"Oh, I see. Good, you're a good person."
I don't know what he said, I can only think that he has no trouble in this endeavor. Even though there are no buyers, he will always sell and help others in this way. Cool, I think it's cool for a trader like him.
"By the way, are you an adventurer, or a nomad?"
"I?"
"Yes, you."
"I don't even know who I am. But clearly, I'm in this world now."
"Are you Pelastaja?"
"Maybe like that."
"Woah, I didn't expect to meet a Pelastaja here. I only heard from people talking, but it turns out that Pelastaja exists."
He seemed surprised to know me, and I just responded with what I knew.
"I just got here, so I don't know this world yet."
"Were you the one summoned last night?"
"It could be."
"Then where is your Kutsuja?"
"Kutsuja, what is it?"
"The one who summoned you to this world. Where is that person now? Did you fail in your duty and let your Kutsuja die?"
"No. The person who summoned me here told me to leave."
"Uh, why? Why would that person tell you to leave?"
"Probably because..."
Before I could explain, this horse carriage had already arrived in front of the big gate.
"Hey Uncle, remember, don't tell me I'm here. Otherwise, I will harm you later."
"O-Okay."
Hiding behind a wide cloth, I waited for the carriage to enter inside.
"I only handle medicinal plants. Let me go inside."
Hearing the uncle's voice, I thought that he had not divulged that I was in his carriage.
"We'll do an inspection first, yes, sir."
"W-aaa… P-Please goes ahead."
With a vexed voice, I knew that something wrong had happened.
Will there be an inspection?
Feeling the breath around this chariot, it was certain that this carriage was being inspected every corner.
Even so, with this kind of camouflage, I'm sure I can go unnoticed by the guards checking this.
Because besides me are medicinal plants, and I'm hiding like a sack against it, it's not going to make them notice me as soon as possible. But the chance I realized they might still exist, so I shouldn't let my guard down in the slightest, let alone put the uncle in trouble. Therefore, I hope these guards don't have good eyesight.
DEG!
That voice... the sound of someone getting into the carriage.
"Oi, don't add to this burden on my horse. Don't go inside at will, this carriage already holds a heavy load, so it makes my horse suffer."
"Oh, sorry..."
Uncle...
I think the uncle cursed a guard who was riding in this horse carriage and made the guard immediately get off this horse carriage. I was helped in that.
After a while, the wheels of this horse-drawn carriage started, which meant that this uncle managed to outwit the guards and managed to get me inside.
"Already entered."
Opening the cloth slowly, seeing the uncle's back looks so straight in swinging the horse's rope, I approached him.
"Hey Uncle, thank you."
"It doesn't matter. After all, this task of mine is less heavy than mine, so at least I want to lighten your task."
My task? Oh, that task.
"You're a good person, Uncle."
Looking back, the uncle looked at me with a smile while opening his mouth.
"By the way, have you prepared your provisions for your assignment?"
"No, I don't have any provisions."
"Then take that bag over there!"
Seeing him pointing at something behind me, I turned and crawled over to the bag.
Picking up the heavy, rattling bag, I crawled back to the uncle.
"What's this?"
"Just open it!"
Following his orders, I untied the string from this pouch and looked at the contents of this pouch.
"That is Zquid, the money in this world. Use it to fulfill your needs in this world. Since your Kutsuja left you, you must have a hard time knowing what this world is like. So, use that money to survive, and please… please make this world safe."
Crying after saying that, the uncle didn't seem to be fine talking to me, and I was just speechless while looking at his face.
"My son… You look a lot like my son who was killed by a monster when he was just an adventurer."
"..."
"I'm sure you can do it better than the other Pelastaja's. I believe, one day, this world will be safe to live in."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Uncle."
With that, I got off this horse-drawn carriage with the uncle given the money called Zquid.
"As if happy, he has sadness behind his happiness. I think he's quite unfortunate."
Because the bag containing the Zquid is so heavy and my hands are wrapped in banana leaves, I put this bag around my waist, which I tie between the shorts.
"So this is a box? That means in this city, I have to look for clothes."
Since I couldn't take the uncle's clothes because he was so kind, I chose to look for clothes in this city.
When I walk, because my clothes are so brightly colored, people's eyes see me.
"Hey, who's that? Are you an immigrant?"
"I do not know."
Strangely, every time I look at some of the buildings beside me while walking and ignore them, some buildings are destroyed, some are not, some have become lumps of rubble, and they all don't mind it and continue to move. as usual.
Perhaps some of the workers were rebuilding the damaged buildings, but none of them seemed to think about the conditions in this city.
I don't know what's going on here, can only guess that the city was under attack, but I'm sure at least every corner should have guards to monitor the activities of the people in this city.
I've been walking and can't find any guards who monitor the activities of the citizens in this city, it seems strange to me. Every time there is a redevelopment of the city, there are at least 1 or 2 guards who must be involved in supervising the activities of the citizens.
For fear of accidents, if a construction error occurs, this city should have supervisors involved and create a safe environment for the citizens.
"Very weird. Does this city have a low supply of guards? Never mind, I'd better go straight to the clothing store."
Dizzy thinking about that, I decided to look for a clothing store in this town.
After walking quite a distance, I finally found what I thought was a clothing store.
Entering the shop, I began to smell leather and a slight smell of carrion in my nose.
"Welcome."
The big dog-eared man greeted me upon noticing my arrival.
"Oh, a newcomer?"
"Yes."
Looking left and right which was filled with many iron armor and leather armor, I found that I was in the right shop.
"Do you want to buy armor?"
"I just want to buy a cloak, a bulletproof cloak."
"Bulletproof?"
"I mean, an ordinary robe. It's up to you whether it's leather or iron, the important thing is that I can use it to cover this outfit."
"Ummm..."
Putting his hand to his chin, as if in thought, the man looked at me suspiciously.
"Brother, where are you from?"
"I come from a city far from here."
Unlike that uncle, I can't just casually say that I'm from a different world, because what I see right now isn't the same man as that uncle.
The man looks arrogant, will destroy anything he hates. So, guessing like that, I didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Are you-"
"I just bought this robe. How much does this robe cost?"
Cutting his words and showing him the black cloak, the man didn't immediately say what he wanted to talk about earlier.
"Oh, that... For you, as a new customer of this shop, I'll just give you 200 zquid."
Approaching him holding this robe, I slowly took out the money that was in this leather pouch.
Zquid, the currency of this world which has the form of gold-colored coins. Each Zquid coin is worth 1, and the price of this robe is 200 zquid, which means I have to give him 200 zquid coins.
Without bidding, I gave Zquid to him and left the shop.
But before I left the shop, he said, "If you need anything, come here again," to me. I thought every shop owner would always be like that, so it was natural for him to say that.
Coming out of this shop, I counted the Zquid in this bag.
"There are only 700 Zquid left. At this rate, I must save in my necessities in this world."
Using this black cloak that covered my head, I slowly walked to the luxurious building that was there.
"What is a palace? I'd better go there."
