"welcome to the bloodborne empire magic caster ,how's your health after that dreaded fight you must have lost a lot of mana and so you fainted on the spot as you could see we cannot leave our hero lying in the middle of a forest so we brought you along right now we are close to the city of Lior and well I know I am asking too much but can you tell why such a powerful magician came out of nowhere to help us and about your powers? and where do you belong?"the princess Rena

well telling them that he is a high human from a different world  would be hard to believe and would catch too much attention if the word got out.so

"I am Adolf Nacht, I am from the hidden kingdom of Germain in the northern continent  that was destroyed because of a plague and due its location was hidden in the mountain it was not traced by the angels and thus was undiscovered and I fear will remain that way as only ruins remain of a kingdom that was once prosperous and self sustained "

after hearing this story everyone in the tent started whispering one anther with doubtful faces which created a loud murmur.

"SILENCE" princess Rena 

everyone stooped 

"so mr. Adolf you imply that their was an unknown kingdom in the northern continent  that was not discovered by the angels"princess Rena

"yes my lady"adolf

even by looking at everyone in the tent Adolf could tell that nobody was beliving him everyone had doubt clear on their faces that this was a false story.

"as the northern continent is almost uncharted territory I don't have a reason to deny you so can you please explain why someone belonging to the northern continent here"princess Rena

right now it would be in my best interest to belong some where to find a banner under which I can stand and study the society peacefully and know about the geopolitics of this empire before doing anything.

"I am here to find a banner and  to serve it  my lady"adolf

'is that so"princess rena

"well I suggest that you join the army and we will give you a senior position in it as a combat mage" princess Rena

definetly  not you little princess I wont become a dog of the army and serve the royalty at all cost 

"I am sorry my lady but I have to decline as it is not in my best interest to join the army before checking other option"adolf

sighing the princess replies

"well I cannot force you to join so I must comply, but as a token of my gratitude I can offer you an amulet that might help you in lior with  this our discussion comes to an end  so you are dismissed as we are heading directly towards the city of tiggr we wont take you to the city but An  escort will  be provided to you who will take you to the city gates"

"as you wish my lady"

with this adolf came out of the tent he was instead of being greeted by the maid he was greeted by a six foot tall knight who is supposed to be  his escort.

"I am captain knight Akman and I will be your escort to the city of Lior "akman

"well  thank you but I don't  think I will need one, just give me the direction that will be enough"Adolf

"I am sorry mage but II was given an order by my superiors "akman

sighing "ok as you wish"Adolf

"this way mage"akman

after walking for half an hour  we finally arrived at what looked like a gate and gigantic walls surrounding the city  their was long line for entering the city gate consisting of carriages ,carts ,merchants , armed mercenaries and adventurers as me and Akman passed them  and reached the gate directly  we became the centre of attention.

"HALT" said the gatekeepers captain 

"what business do you have here and why are you not in  the line" said a subordinate of the gatekeeper 

without saying a word  akman took out a piece of paper from his pouch and gave to the gatekeeper

after looking at it with for a while the gate keeper replied 

"I am sorry my lord you may enter"

well that was fast, as we started to enter the people in the line started to complain

"why the f..k would you let the ENTER you A..hole they were not in the line" mercenary

"I am standing in this line from past half hour why are you giving those guys special entry"

"don't pay attention to them my lord you can enter"said the gate keeper

after that we entered.

as we entered the city we were surrounded by a sea of voices people buying things tending to their daily business 

kids playing around multi-storied stone buildings  shops inns bars and a arena at the end of the road was also visible that resembled the coliseum .

"welcome to the trade district of Lior  mage Adolf"Akman 

"as my order I may leave now "akman

"wait I have a few question"

"the princess said me that she would gift me token of respect"Adolf

"I am sorry I almost forgot"akman

usin his right hand he took out a dragon shaped badge from his bag and another pouch from "this amulet will help you in the local guilds and inns also here are a hundred gold Imperials and few copper and siver imperials"akman 

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

his rapsack(A.N a medieval era shoulder bag)

"hmm what is  the  currency value here "Adolf

"1 gold imperial =10 silver imperial = 10 copper imperial well take care of the money well the kind of money you have right now could feed the family of an average citizen for three months"

"I will"Adolf

"then I must take my leave mage Adolf and thanks for saving my life earlier  please come to my house in  the noble district if you need something"akman

after saying this akman disappeared into the crowed of people.

'well lets find an inn then get....... well I think first I should buy some cloth first'

due to Adolfs German outfit everyone who was passing was glanceing at him his strange outfit was too out of the place and many were even starring at him with curiosity.

after walking for a few minutes he arrived at a shop named gnables cloth shop that looked too luxurious for the surrounding buildings and shops showcasing a few quality dresses for both men and women.

as Adolf entered with a "tinggg" sound of the door bell he was welcomed by an over excited man wearing a luxurious tunic.

"welcome customer what do need!!!"

"a hooded Black cloak"Adolf

"well a..black cloak I....I might have one in the store room wait here"

after retuning the merchant who looked quiet disappointed gave Adolf a hooded black cloak

"this is made of black coloured silk with reinforced black leather this might help against light weapons like knifes .2 silver imperials"merchant

after paying the merchant the sum Adolf was about leave 

"wait"merchant

"what"

"take this"

the merchant gives Adolf a yellow orb 

"this is a cloth repairing orb this will come in handy ,because you looked quiet different I don't think you are from around here so please take it this costs 12 imperials "merchant

"thanks"Adolf

well with the cloak and hood on Adolf was able to hide his appearance completely only his red eyes were visible in the darkness of the hood covering his head.

'I think its time to find a inn'

"A GUIDE FOR A SILVER IMPERIAL ,HERE A GUIDE FOR A SILVER IMPERIAL"

a man in rag tag cloths screaming at the top of his voice

"hey you the shady guy come here"guide

"me"Adolf

"ya you look new here"guide 

"if you could spare a coin or two I can tell you about the city"guide

'currently I need to collect a lot of info but hmm.... ok I will try this"

"here take the amount"Adolf 

"how many districts are their in this city"Adolf

"4 districts"guide

"trade district as you can see is filled with shops, merchants ,the commercium guild,whore houses and other entertainment and business establishments

The arena district is the area surrounding the Arena ,well I think you should by the looks of you could try your luck in the arena championship tomorrow

the nobles district consists of the major guilds establishments and well as the name suggests the well off rich people mansions and the great palace

the last is 

The slums its the place where you should stay away from a dangerous place where even the city guards stay away from controlled by the thieves guild and crime a common happening

as we all know the city is the commercial capital of the blood borne empire and is ruled by a branch family of the bloodborne family whose head is lord Galius ...."

swishhh

Aolf quickly taking out his combat knife silently slits of the throat of the guide without him being able to make a sound 

when he is about to fall down is grabbed by Adolf and is pushed into the bench behind making his body look like in a sitting position so that it does not catch too much attention 

'if somebody gets to know that I bought such a basic info from him about the city it would arouse too much attention and question in future '

without catching too much attention Adolf stealthy moves away from the dead body as quickly as he can.

'lets first find a inn here now'

after walking a certain distance  Adolf came to the realisation  that it was already evening and he needs to find somewhere to stay before dark.

after a few minutes he finally arrived in front of a inn that can act as his staying point for now named as barley inn ,an inn in a dark corner of the trade district that did not attract too much attention and had a little amount of customers.

'lets rest for the night and find a guild tomorrow'
