Walking back to the guild Trynowin was waiting outside the guild was still full but the adventures were drinking away the exhaustion from their battles instead of collecting quests.
"Hello sir thank you for arriving early."
"It's not a problem I wasn't very sure of a specific time even if you said as the sun sets so I wanted to make sure just in case."
"I have reserved a guild room in the associations meeting room for us to talk in."
"Lead the way "
Walking I noticed that even the drunkards were looking our way along with the normal citizens. This guy must be popular or important or both. Either way it was attracting so much attention that I felt uncomfortable, I wasn't used to the feeling and I felt quite reserved compared to my usual boldness.I just had to hold myself together until we got to that reserved room.
Walking inside it was adorned with a set of tables and chairs along with a globe-like object in the centre. Sitting down in a chair that Trynowin pointed out for me he walked up to the globe and I could feel the mana in the air increase.
"Do not panic this artifact creates a sound barrier and strengthens the walls so that there is no chance of spying. So where would you like me to begin? please do not rush with the amount you are paying you can ask all the questions you want."
"What is the current date and location?"
he looked strangely at me but answered nonetheless.
"It is the year 670 of September and it is a Monday as of right now. "
Instantly my mind whirred to life. We had calculated the day that I would be reborn around about and it was in the parameters. There was a couple months before the heroes were summoned to this world. If what that priest said about the game being based on the history of this world then the heroes will be people from my world and not players in a game. But that makes me more confused.
If heroes were summoned now why were we summoned? Surely they would have dealt with any threat that would have arisen after all they are heroes.
"I see now could you tell me where we are? "
"We're in a village named Rito about a week's walk away from the Academic city of Pariah. It was built for those that couldn't afford life in the city but eventually turned into an adventurers town and it is currently the best place for quests that aren't the Agidyne kingdoms capital."
I see I guess that could come into use.
"Could you fill me in on the current state of each continent and kingdom along with politics, laws and rulers."
"Certainly"
~~
He filled me in on general information along with what I can and can't do it was mainly simple and unimportant stuff.
"That's about it for the laws now onto the current rulers of each kingdom:
King Arthur Von Agidyne V. He is the current ruler of this kingdom and the current domain we are in. He is a powerful fire magic user and swordsman. Humans have adapted well to other races and have a strong and balanced army however they are not strong enough to win a war with the other races.
The Beast king Jagu. He is the ruler of all beast and demi-beasts he rules the Highlands where fauna is more wild and primitive however the living standards are high with a great presence of technology based on healthcare"
"Oh so like wooden homes but with high grade technology inside like bathrooms and running water?"
"Exactly. The main export is beast pelts are unique mana rich beast roam the Wildlands and nobles of other kingdoms but them to make into armour or furniture."
"I see"
"Queen Anastasia Whyte is the leader of the high elf forest. She has focused on diplomacy however we still have a strong army with our access to spirit magic. We live in buildings created through earth magic similar to wood houses however we are the second most technologically advanced after the humans who are first.
King Balthazar Grandsbane of the wetlands demi humans. They are separated from the beast king and formed their own nation over the wetlands where they have an advantage over all other races due to their aquatic nature. That doesn't mean that the beast king and Grandsbane are at each other's throats but they hold a close friendship. Apparently they grew up together as their fathers were war buddies before they ascended to their thrones bringing peace back to the races.
That's about all for the kingdoms rulers is there anything else you need?
"No that should be it. I just need you to guide me towards the academy."
"That won't be a problem I am actually going to pass through the academic city on the way back to Forest."
"Great I will meet you tomorrow what time?"
"Early morning I will collect you from your room. Do not worry I know which inn you are in after all you caused quite the stir when you first arrived."
Standing up I walked away. I needed to prepare everything for the trip there and get some necessities.
~~~
Slipping through the alleyways of the streets I made my way to the night market. I was just a market that opened only at night but had slightly better wares than usual. I doubt that they had a black market here or if they did I didn't know of it but I knew of a couple in the academy city where I could get my hands on some powerful illusion artifacts and materials that can't be traced.
Walking over to one of the open stalls I looked over the clothing.It looked fashionable however hidden under the veil It was coarse and the quality was bad and the prices were exorbitant for the items of clothing.
"Is this all of your wares?"
"Is there an issue with my clothing sir?"
"Yeah the quality is poor it feels cheap and it's being sold at stupid prices."
"Haha you sure spoke your mind eh lad! This was a test but to those who pass the test I have more quality wares."
"Oh but why do you need to test them?"
"The drunkards will buy anything and those who can't see poor quality goods are not worth my time.
These are my actual wares! "
Pulling out several cases he opened them up. Inside were clothes that I could instantly appraise as being of high quality.
I will give you an article of clothing for free as an apology for the test however the others you will have to pay for.
Inside I saw more modern looking clothing. Jeans of many kinds along with shirts jackets and even some hats. Looking at it I couldn't help but feel that I had hit a jackpot. Sure there were way more expensive clothes around however I didn't want to look like a noble I wanted something comfortable and these were definitely comfortable.
"I'll take them all."
"Excuse me!?"
'I said I'll take them all here is the gold'
Giving him 9 gold coins I put the clothing into my inventory.
"I-it was a pleasure doing business sir!"
walking away I brought more necessities like a tooth brush and some hygiene products before heading back to the inn and trying to get some sleep.
I sure do have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. My mind is fatigued. Guess I'll *yawn"- get some sleep. Letting myself succumb to the feeling of the somewhat soft bed I drifted off to Dreamland.
