[Teleport] near the main gate of the royal capital. [Transfer] The first condition is that there are no obstacles, that it is not in a dangerous place such as on the water, and that there are no prying eyes. Since it would be troublesome if the destination of [Teleportation] is inside a wall, it will appear near the specified location when the conditions are cleared.
Today I'm going to visit the royal capital and procure cloths. If possible, I'd be happy to have a bookstore, but for the time being, I'll do [Appraisal] one after another just in case I make something.
The capital has a rocky mountain behind it. The royal capital spreads out at the foot of the rocky mountain on a gentle slope, and there is a nobleman's mansion that sticks to the rocky mountain, or rather, a building that looks like a part of the fortress, and above that is the royal castle.
The roof of the machiya is an orangeish color, and the walls are the same color as the rocky mountain. It is rare for a house that is attached to a rocky mountain to have a roof.
In addition, it is the royal capital of the neighboring country in case something goes wrong. I have no confidence in this common sense.
Enter the royal capital through the main gate with the castle wall tower. The procedure ends after showing the coin of the commercial guild and paying the toll. Since the ID has already been confirmed when making coins, only the registration number of the coin is confirmed.
The adventurer's guild tag is silver or higher, but iron has a little screening, and copper seems to be difficult to enter without a guarantor. An adventurer who can become one without an ID card gains credibility based on their achievements, but that is not the case for a novice.
While I was standing in line, I saw a seemingly good-looking man being taken into the tower. did something go wrong?
"While I was watching, my turn came."
"It's my first time in the royal capital, is there a guide map or someone who can guide me?"
Ask while the document is being filled out.
"This is a simple guide map. If you're mainly shopping, you can get directions if you go to the commercial guild, and you might be forced to buy various things. If you go straight ahead and pay the children who are wandering around in the plaza. I'll guide you, but it's a hit or miss."
After paying for the guide map and handing over the fish as a gratuity, he advised me to ask if there was a Leon with blue-gray hair by the well in the plaza.
When you enter the town, you will see rows of store entrances that draw arches to the left and right. I imagined it to be wide, but the passage is narrower than Azir. The buildings seem to be connected to each other, and the road is shaded and a bit dark.
While we were standing in line, the sunlight was strong even though it was autumn, so maybe this is just right. From a Japanese point of view, it's better to be sunny, but it's comfortable to be in the shade.
Walk down the gentle slope while peeking inside to see what kind of store it is. There are sometimes narrow alleys, but if you go straight as you were told, you will suddenly find yourself in a bright square with a clear view.
On the other side, a church-like building with a bell tower shines white in the sunlight. And in the center of the square is a fountain—not a well.
Blue Ash was soon found, because it was the only place where no one else was. Judging from the conversation, I thought he was a child, but he's a young man. What's the difference between blue and gray?
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Leon?"
"Oh, yes."
The young man who raised his face affirmed it, but it was a very strong face. His half-eyed with a nice vertical line between his eyebrows.
I understand why there are so many people in the plaza, but only around the well. I'm scared of your face
"I asked the guard if he could guide me around the city..."
is something wrong? "I'm starting to feel like you're the kind of person I don't want to talk to."
"I was deceived by the guards and turned into a human trafficker... I feel like I was sent to a murderer."
"A guard?"
It doesn't seem to come to mind.
"No, it might be the wrong person."
"No, it's some kind of fate. It's just time, let me guide you."
"She was kind despite her appearance."
"Well, do you have any recommendations for clothes shops, futon shops, tableware, and restaurants that should be seen in this town?"
I think that the royal capital is better for cloth and food, but what do you think? I conveyed my rough hopes to Leon, who stood up from the edge of the well.
I thought he was a big man because he was powerful, but he wasn't. as much as me? "I plan to continue growing." When you grow, you grow.
"Maybe living alone has really liberated your feelings, and you've improved even in this short period of time. I want you to improve a little more." I was average in Japan, but it seems that my height was average here as well. No, it's the average of Van, Rudil, and Ishu.
"The place you should see in this town is the scenery from the top of the fortress. However, the general public cannot enter."
.... You're not an ordinary person who's seen it, or you shouldn't recommend a place where you can't enter.
"Let's hurry up for dinner, I have an acquaintance at a fairly famous clothing store in the royal capital."
"Was the recommendation the best choice for the fortress?" whatever. Follow the man who started walking down the slope. If I show interest, he will stop and give me a simple explanation, so it's not bad as a guide.
"Speaking of which, what is that big building in the square?"
"When you say big, you probably mean the 'Spirit's Branch'. It's a beautiful place where plants are planted in the courtyard and clean water is always flowing so that the spirits like it."
"Ah, so spirits are worshiped here?" Anyway--
"Mmm, I'm sorry. I should have shown you around that place."
"I'll stop by on my way home. By the way, why are the walls of this house attached to each other?"
He seems to have realized what I'm thinking, and he talks to Leon, who is a little pissed off, about something else. I don't dislike people who don't talk too much, they just aren't suitable as tourist guides.
"Ah, there is also the fact that the land within the castle walls is limited, but taxes are imposed on the width of the house facing the road.
When I asked what other taxes there were, I was told that there was something like a municipal tax, a toll tax, a market tax, and a glass window tax that was treated as a luxury item.
"It looks like the taxes will be tough just to live there."
"Not really, the residents of the royal capital rarely go outside. Places close to the front line, such as the fortified city, are a little different."
"Oh, do you take more from people who come in?" In addition to the anticipated levy and payment of agricultural products, the countryside learned that the watermill, bread oven, and grape press belonged to the lord and would cost money to use. Moreover, if a stone mill is found in a strict place, there is also a confiscation and a fine.
"While listening to various things, I arrived at a clothing store."
"It's a little different from a tourist guide, but it was useful." If the carriage breaks down or overturns during the trip, it would be too scary that everything that touched the land would be the lord's property.
"By the way, the clothing store doesn't have any clothes."
"Lord Adelheid"
A good-looking man came out in a bit of a panic.
"Tame, it's been a while.
"Adelheid-sama, go here first."
I was taken to a private room without saying yes or no, but I wondered if it would be okay for me to sit in my outfit with a number of furnishings, and tea was offered without hesitation.
"My name is Tame Carr, the owner of the shop. I apologize for earlier."
"It's Gene."
She seems to have calmed down a little more than before, and gives me a polite greeting.
"Adelheid-sama, I'm worried about you."
"Umu, I'm sorry.
I thought that something unrelated to me would progress, but Leon changed the trajectory.
The owner bowed his head once, then straightened his back, lifted his face, and told me to call someone and listen to my wishes.
--Isn't this a full-order store where you can choose from fabrics? ! ! !
"It's hard to say no now, and I'm being asked about my wishes while being meekly measured." I'm also curious about Leon and the store owner's story, but it's my first experience, so it's not the point. I've never been particular about the type of button!
