After walking a few minutes from the sign board.The city of Bamor finally came in my view. It was a huge city with number of building.And outside the city huge walls were erected which were probably built to keep the city and its people safe from the monsters.And a large gate was placed in the middle of the wall.
As i walked closer to the gate, I saw a Guard standing near the gate.As soon as he saw me his face stiffened.Did he think... I am gonna attack him or what, to not further any misunderstandings.I asked the Guard with a smile
"Is this the City Of Bamor?"
"Yes it is, State Your Purpose Stranger, You are very suspicious in those clothes" The Guard said in a alert tone
Of course, I totally forgot that i might look suspicious due to my School Uniform.I thought of saying that i am one of the guys who were summoned in this world but quickly dismissed the idea as i believed it would make me look more and more suspicious.So i thought of handling it in a casual way remembering details from some manga and light novels i studied long before.
"I am not suspicious sir, I am merely an adventurer travelling through these forests, These clothes were given to me by my best friend who asked me to test whether it offers any resistance to attacks i might receive while in the forest"
Somewhat satisfied by my answer the guard said
"Al right, You may now enter after paying the toll of 1 silver coins"
Surprised by the sudden mention of toll fees i quickly wondered what to do.Then suddenly i had an idea.I showed him the stones i collected and asked
"Can these stones be used for the toll fees sir, as i lost my money during my adventure"
Seeing the stones, the guard said "You truly are an adventurer,Only a good adventurer would have collected this many stones.So If you are paying by these stones, two stones would be enough, since these stones each value 50 copper.
After paying the guard the toll.I talked to him a few more minutes as he was much more talkative since he knew i was an adventurer.It seems that next to Knights and Mage , the adventurers was an important job as they slay monster and complete various quests to make the life easy for the people in the city.
After talking to him, I found that I was still in Seras Kingdom but this city was an border city since its location was among the southern edges of the kingdom. To the east of the city of bamor starts the border of another kingdom was another kingdom called Lieno. And.And to the west there is the Beast Kingdom.And to the south across the ocean there lies the devil continent.
It seems that the human and beast kingdom were in for some year but 5 yrs before a ceasefire was announced.But rather than the war with devils now tensions are brewing in each kingdom since the king of Mithras announced that he would conquer all the continent regardless of human and devils.But still a make believe peace is maintained even though some of the people are very much afraid of the war.After listening to the history of war he said about the monetary system used in the city which is similar to most kingdoms
The lowest form of currency is copper
100 copper equal 1 silver
100 silver equals 1 small gold
100 small gold equals 1 white gold
100 white gold equals 1 gem
Satisfied with the explanations i bid my good bye to the guard and entered into the City of Bamor.The city was crowded by people among the vast crowds of people I found humans with animal ears and tails, they are called the beast men.I heard from the guard that due to the close bond between the kingdoms it seemed that you can find them living in the human kingdom.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
While I was exploring the new sights of the city suddenly it started to snow.Since my clothes were not suited for cold.I asked around where i could find clothes suited for the snow.After searching sometime, I found the shop.
As i entered the shop, a young girl who had cat ears said
"Welcome to out humble shop, What do you need, if i may ask?"
"I need some clothes suited for the cold" I asked
"hmm... cold huh, here this will be perfect since it provides the most resistance to cold." saying that she showed me a black cloak with a hood.
Since the cloak was thin i was suspicious whether this girl was trying to rip me off or something, So i asked
"Are you sure this cloak will help me withstand the cold?"
With an irritated look she said" You are an adventurer ryt, Why don't you use the identify command to check whether its good or not"
Hmmm.... identify command huh. So it must be similar to the open stats command.So therefore i concentrated at the black cloak and said Identify in my mind.
You Have Gained A New Skill: Identify [LV 1]
Black Cloak
* 50% Cold Resistance
* 15% Water Resistance
* 10% Fire Resistance
* 10% Magic Resistance
Nice stats.... So it really helps to resists not only against cold but also against magic,Impressed, I decided to buy the black cloak
"How much does this cost" I asked
"10 silvers"
So i took 20 mana stones from my backpack and handed it to her.Since the 20 mana stones equals to silver.With that I purchased the black cloak and wore it outside.It truly felt warm even though it was snowing.Magic Rocks!! I thought to myself as i searched for an inn to stay the night.
Around the corner from the clothes shop i found an inn.A middle aged lady was in the counter.
"How much does it cost for food and an one night stay?"
"Hmmm... It costs around 4 silver" she said.
And as i payed the money with my mana stones she showed me to my room.After some time she also sent the food.It was some kind of curry rice with meat.I thought whether it would be safe to eat it since i am not a native but still i risked it and ate the food since i was fuckin hungry due to my journey.And thank god i ate it, the food was damn delicious,I ordered one more serving and ate it till my stomach became full.After that i went to sleep since i wanted to wake up early to register in the adventurer's guild.Since the guard suggested that if i register in the adventurer's guild, I might get more money for slaying the monster along with the value of the mana stones.Its as if killing two birds in one stone Smiling, i slowly drifted into sleep.
