Unlike Laves, where you can see the sky or the distant sea along with the city without being obtrusive, the view is filled with green mountains, gray cliffs, and black smoke rising from somewhere.
Whether it was an outdoor warp gate or not, there were no walls, only pillars and a roof, so the scenery was pierced in all directions.
“Wow, that’s new.”
From noble mtl dot com.
When I take a deep breath, my throat tickles slightly.
Laves was a coastal city by the sea, but in the case of Norwell, it was a mining town, so the air was acrid.
“Ugh… … .”
“Ooooh… … .”
And the sound of something soggy dripping from the side.
Turning her head to look, all three horses staggered and vomited, and Luna also covered her mouth and looked pale.
Seeing even Kane’s face turned whiter… this… … .
“Are you seasick?”
“Do, Bocchan-nim… Are you okay?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Luna’s words while taking a deep breath and opened my mouth as I pulled the reins of the staggering horse.
“I am fine. Once the words… That’s a problem. Should I get an inn and leave it for you?”
Is this also due to the floatation trait?
I just closed and opened my eyes, and it felt like I was in another place, but Kane and Luna mumbled that they felt like they were stretched out like dough and then hit again.
Perhaps the same was true for the horses, they were stomping on their hooves as if they were about to collapse at any moment without having to regurgitate gastric juices.
Is this a frequent case, so the gate structure was made in a place where there were only pillars and a roof?
In addition, the floor was made of lattice-shaped barbed wire, leaving a little space underneath.
Perhaps it is shaped so that dirt can easily escape underneath.
I patted the horse’s body in bad condition and took Luna, who seemed to have come to her senses, and came out.
“I see an inn right in front of me. Luna, Kane. Let’s go over there for now.”
Did you aim for it?
Not far from the gate, you can see a rather grandly built inn.
It looks like anyone would have made a lot of money.
nice idea
If you’re going over the warp, your pockets will be heavy, so rather than thinking about going to an inn far away from motion sickness, you’ll want to go in and rest right away.
Coming out of the gate management office, the road is crowded with people.
“Let’s have a drink after today.”
“Where is Jeffrey?”
“I heard they go further inside to cut down trees.”
“Don’t even think about coming out until you dig a cart in the mine today!”
In Laves, there were many beautifully decorated women and men, but this place had relatively achromatic clothes, and people who looked like miners or lumberjacks often passed by.
Normal residents and top. It was quite a bustling place with countless mercenaries and travelers coming and going.
After looking around for a bit, I almost reached the inn, so I pointed with my finger and opened my mouth.
“Today, it would be better to rest here for a day to recuperate, check the map, and then move on. and… uh?”
Took.
“Oh, sorry, gentleman!”
While walking while looking at Kane and Luna, I bumped into someone, and I raised my hand as if it was okay and looked at the other person.
“Are you really okay?”
He was a little tall, with his head barely touching my chest, with slightly dry, frizzy orange hair.
Before I even checked his face, I greeted him casually and said, ‘Hey, go together!’ The little boy tried to run away, but Kane snatched him by the back of the back.
“Keck! why, why are you like this Please let go.”
“uh… uh… Kane… … ?”
Seeing the child struggling, holding Kane’s hand with both hands, as if her throat was tight, Luna also flirted as if embarrassed.
I also said in bewilderment as I saw Kane grabbing the child by the back with one hand and lifting it off.
“What, why?”
“Hey, what is a human being?”
Hey man, why are you suddenly saying racial discrimination?
Before I could say anything, Kane grabbed the child by the ankles with a slight frown and lifted him upside down and began to brush them off.
and.
dump! thump! Cut! Chag-lak!
Pockets pouring out of the body.
There was also my coin pouch in which I had moved some money, fearing that the subspace would be too conspicuous.
“Wow, when.”
Are you embarrassed?
I fumbled around my waist, which had become empty before I knew it, and picked up a bag that had fallen to the ground and fixed it again, looking at the child who was so upset.
“Hey, won’t you let this go? You’ll regret it later! I want you to let go!”
bluff.
The child hangs upside down and struggles, but Kane doesn’t let go and looks at me with a sigh.
“Isn’t an immediate disposition possible?”
That’s what I’m talking about when I reveal that I’m a noble.
I shook my head once and glanced at the child who was glaring at us with a huff.
“Here, patrolman. Here you go.”
“oh. oh! wait a minute! talk to me… … !”
huh. late.
I laughed nonchalantly and called a security guard who was passing by and handed over the child and the money bag. How many times do you want to find the owner… Ordinarily, do you want to enter with unearned income?
“and… My hands are really fast… … .”
After the situation was sorted out to some extent, I nodded and opened my mouth to see Luna, who had come to her senses, admiring the pickpocket as if she hadn’t noticed.
“Thanks to Kane, I passed it well. thanks. By the way, I didn’t want to stand out if I had even a small pocket like this as an artifact, but how are other people going around?”
Should I change it to a magic item now?
After thinking a little and getting hit by a horse at the stable outside the inn, I gave a tip to ask for good care, but Kane said softly.
“It seems like they usually wear a disposable anti-theft scroll or have a place to tie it under their clothes.”
“okay? I’ll have to stop by the magic tower later.”
Because I have to fill the codex too.
kiik-
Opening the door and entering, the inn that caught my eye was a typical appearance that I often saw in games.
The first floor is a pub and restaurant. The second floor is the bedroom.
I opened my mouth as I glanced over to see if there was a place for the three of us to sit.
“Let’s eat first and then get a room.”
“great… Carrot soup here… Will there be?”
A pub like this I’ve seen in games or movies is a bit messy with dim lighting, and it’s a place where someone quarrels with the main character.
It’s a high-end inn, so it’s cleaner than you think.
Those who looked like merchants or mercenaries were the main group, and on one side, someone who was expected to be a bard was playing an instrument like a lute.
Thanks to the sound of the music, everyone is chatting as if small chatter is buried, and a mercenary can be seen laughing heartily on one side.
He has a big axe, and his clothes are old, but he looks well-maintained.
This is the moment when you really feel that you are in a different area.
There weren’t many people armed like that in Laves.
‘Besides, no one sees me and avoids me.’
“Order whatever you want to eat. It’s a new place, so the food will be different. I’m curious.”
Somehow I felt better, I smiled and sat down in a suitable place, and when I looked at the table, there were not many scratches and it was not sticky.
I’m not sure since I’m new to adventure, but wouldn’t this be okay? It certainly seems like a high-end inn.
I looked at the table with satisfaction, then put my chin on my chin and flipped through the parchment-like menu board.
“Oh, there is something unusual. Bear meat special. You can taste all the special parts, from head to toe.”
“It says you have to make a reservation three days in advance.”
“I am… Try the mountain berry juice… want.”
“If you want something to eat, order it.”
The three of us flipped through the menus one by one, but since there was more to eat than we thought, we each decided to order something different.
Kane had red wine with the horn pork steak set meal, and I had rainbow salmon, cheese and crackers, and white wine.
Luna ordered creamy spaghetti with chicken and mushrooms, assorted mountain fruit juice, and bread and berry confit for dessert.
“How are you feeling? are you okay?”
In fact, there is something I wanted to say as soon as I had time to spare, but my ancestors said that it wasn’t originally nagging at the table.
I tossed the words for the first time and looked at the two.
“Yes, drink some water… It’s better to rest a little… … .”
Hagiya’s complexion is very different from before.
Bread and soup are served first.
Even if it’s not official, I’ve seen it. What Kane sees as cream soup is potato soup for me.
Luna ordered cream spaghetti, so the clear soup came out, but at first glance it looked like vegetable soup.
“Befitting a place that operates mainly for wealthy travelers who suffer from gate sickness, the variations are good.”
Well, the main customers here are those who have little time and a lot of money, so it’s worth focusing on the service.
I ate the potato soup, which had a light and savory taste, and was impressed by the good taste, although it was not as good as the original.
After all, travel is a foodie.
It’s not that I didn’t really go on a trip with my mind, but I have to enjoy it when there is something I can enjoy.
The pre-dinner bread, which was cut into small pieces, was also delicious when dipped in the oil that came with it.
A slight acidity as if mixed with the oil of a tree fruit after boiling down red wine, and a light, fresh scent unique to oil go well together.
“It’s delicious… … .”
“As expected, in the future, if possible, let’s choose a high-class accommodation. It must be worth it.”
It’s not that I don’t have money, but there’s no need to save money when I have it, cancer.
The main dishes were also of good quality.
Kane’s horn pig steak was quite thick and the sauce was thick, so I expected it to taste quite heavy.
“Hmm.”
Kane let out a low breath and sliced the thick meat with a knife. It cuts smoothly as if all tendons and fascia have been removed. It looks pretty delicious.
“Me too, just one bite.”
I dipped a fresh piece of Cain’s steak into pieces with a fork, took it away, put it in my mouth, and chewed it a few times to savor the taste.
Contrary to how it was sliced softly, it is not too soft than expected, so it has a good sense of taste, but the taste is quite good with the thick juice coming out every time you chew it.
There wasn’t even a single sniff.
In addition, the rainbow salmon I ordered was neither too greasy nor too greasy, but the fishy smell seemed to have been caught with something like lemon.
In particular, even after being baked, the slightly rainbow-colored skin is chewy and soft, and its unique fat taste slightly melts on the tongue, adding to the sweetness.
I said, “It’s delicious,” and handed out a slice to the two of them, then gobbled up the white wine. Is the wine sweet because it has a lot of fruity aroma even though it has little sweetness? There was an illusion that
Luna also gave out spaghetti to try, but it has a umami flavor without greasiness and a strong mushroom scent. The chicken that is often chewed is also delicious without any dryness.
Bread and confit also tasted fresh and sweet when I ate lightly seasoned bread with confit boiled down with various mountain berries.
“It was a satisfying meal. Are you as good as your nature?”
“that’s right… I made it as a special product here… It was delicious.”
After eating for a while, I wiped my lips and smiled.
“Oh right. I have something to tell you.”
“Ugh… … .”
“Now don’t act like you’ve remembered. He wanted to say something from earlier.”
“Did you catch it?”
Luna hides the menu board with a small painful sound as if she is worried about my sudden actions several times.
That’s not today, Luna… … .
“I am talking to both of you. In fact, since Luna has nothing to buy or hit, Luna just listens.”
When the stomach is full, the body automatically lies on its back.
I lazily leaned back in my chair and cast my gaze at Kane.
From noble mtl dot com.
“I don’t know if you wouldn’t believe me if I said this after following you all this way. I won’t care what you do. I won’t even touch you.”
He slowly crossed his legs and passed the remaining wine down his throat, laughing.
“Even if you commit a crime, Kane, I will not force you to stop. What can I say, as your colleague. but.”
I caught my breath and looked at Kane, who was silently looking at me.
“You mean you won’t wield your authority as a master. In some ways, it seems like neglect.”
I don’t think Kane will listen to me, but the most important thing to him is autonomy.
Think, act, endure, and take responsibility for yourself.
I’m an extra
Kane is like a main character.
“no?”
Kane smiled lightly at the playful remark.
What, didn’t that kid lose his smile muscle?
“No way. Rather, it was what I was trying to say.”
