Back To the Beginning
Breithorn City

Still walking with Noland beside me and the other passengers who were still around us, I followed the road that leads straight towards the front which is still above sea water. In front appeared several people passing by as well as many horse carriages that seemed to be waiting for someone.

It looks like the border between two different places This road connects the port with the road on the outskirts of the city.

So it can be ascertained that the area is a transition area from the port to the city.

Soon we will see a city that is said to be a magical city by the people.

"Arthur, do you have a place you want to go first?"

"Ep... There is no place I want to go to right now. We better find an inn first, what do you think?"

"That's a great idea. We have to prioritize where we live first so that we are not like before... We're having trouble finding an empty inn."

"Yup you're right. Let's take a look at that board," I said, pointing at the row of boards located right next to the road.

To find an inn, we only need to look at the various information listed on the information board provided.

The row of information boards consists of four large boards attached by many papers containing various general information needed by ordinary people. Usually on the board is listed geographical maps, event advertisements, and various lodgings in collaboration with the owner of this information board.

Often information boards are surrounded by many people who are looking for various information in the city they just visited. Therefore, information boards are spread out at various points within the city in anticipation of the crowd at one point.

Noland and I arrived in front of the information board along with a few people who seemed to be the first time to this city, just like us.

I looked up the information we needed by looking at a board so large and slightly lifting the paper stuck there.

To anticipate ignorance from people, there are usually one or two guards who keep the information board on a rotating basis from morning to night.

On the third board, right next to the map, information on lodging is arranged sequentially based on the proximity of our current location. There are approximately twenty-five inns.

"Hm, Nolanda. Which one should we choose? The cheap one in the suburbs, or the expensive one in the middle of the city?" ask me to Noland who seems to have thought first.

I questioned him because he seemed to have been trained by Mr. Meinhard in this kind of business.

I've forgotten this science, so I leave it to Noland.

"I think we should take this one" said Noland, pointing to a name of the inn from the list in front of us.

The inn he appointed was not on the outskirts of the city and nor was it in the middle of the city. The hotel is in the eighth position of the list provided.

"Why?" ask me to ask why.

Noland moved his finger towards the map that was beside the inn list and pointed to the inn he had chosen.

"We're going to try to work for the kingdom, aren't we? One of the reasons I chose this inn was other than because of the affordable price, which was because this inn had a simple route to head towards the kingdom, and also this inn was most likely in a fairly quiet area... So we can rest comfortably," explained Noland while pointing out the route he meant.

It's true, the route is quite simple... It only takes a few turns to get to the kingdom. It was almost the same as the inn that was in the center of the city.

"How is... Arthur?" noland said towards me to ask my opinion.

"Hm! I agree, thank you, Noland," I said, nodding my head.

Noland has changed a lot, he is very reliable.

Following Noland's advice, we started to leave the harbor and slowly headed to the inn while enjoying the street atmosphere.

The streets in this city have been passed by many horse carriages, every few minutes we will definitely hear the sound of horse steps that move relaxed or move in a hurry. The city is more advanced than Monte Rosa.

Just like other cities, the streets of this city have been mostly covered by bricks and rocks to make it easier for horse carriages to pass through the streets, and sometimes on the side of the road seen a water flow path to anticipate flooding from rain.

For me, this is not at all strange, this is the basic system for urban. But when you think about it again... Is in this era already created a system like this?...yah, maybe already.

"As expected of Arthur!" said someone beside me, that's Noland.

"Hm? What's up?"

"You're not at all stunned by all this?! I can go crazy here. Not just me, look at that!" noland said as he pointed at the group of people approaching the waterway and observed the path.

"They're watching it closely."

From that moment the people who walked with us always looked there while passing through it, there were also people who could not bear to know more about approaching and observing.

But problem... To observe the system, people would need to queue up and pay first at the nearest counter to get permission!? What the fuck! Arena playing? Who makes such a policy?

And also, every few meters from one counter there must be another one. They make this their profit opportunity.

Pretty smart anyway...

The city is small, but if I see the mechanism has begun to be complex.

If I imagine Mr. Meinhard here, he must have spent money from the beginning to look at the goods and systems here.

Although I feel this is mediocre, but I feel quite nostalgic with the system and the stuff here.

Helping Noland to survive the surrounding hype I kept changing the topic.

Noland already has an interest in tools to help human life, he does not want to see people in distress and hassles.

After going through several places that were part of the crowd to see unique and magical items, we finally managed to arrive at the door of the inn shown on the map and became our choice.

"Ep... Are we not in the wrong place?" I asked Noland who was opening a small map that was sold on the streets.

"If according to the map... This is the place" Noland confirmed.

"But why does the inn look so small from the usual inn?"

"Arthurian... Remember that! Don't look at it, look at it. Isn't that what you always say?"

"Ughh! You're right Noland... Let's try to get in first."

"Yes, Come on."
