Spring, 24 April 1163 Zaenium.
The capital of Canaria, Duchy Canaria, Zamara Kingdom.
Daytime.
Laciel and his two wives had just arrived at the Capital of Duchy Canaria. It was a city built grandly. If the Royal Capital was a white marble fortress city, then the Capital of the Duchy Canaria was a city with a land fortress and natural fortification.
Built on a land surrounded by natural trenches, the city has even widened to the outside of the trench. This makes the city divided into two parts. The inner city is special for families
Nobles and wealthy merchants. And an outer city inhabited by ordinary citizens and low-ranked Adventurers.
After taking a walk, aka getting lost a little, they were finally able to find the Adventurers Union building in the outer part of the city.
Even entering my labyrinth alone is not this difficult. Inner Laciel. Looks like I really need to raise the bar.
“Welcome, Mr.” A female employee with rabbit ears greeted them as soon as they went inside. "Can I help you?"
...*****...
“Welcome, Mr.” His words greeted the group of three-member Adventurers when they entered the Adventurers Union. “There can I help?” tanyanya offered help.
Sniff sniff
He smelled an unusual smell. Just by smelling it, he could figure out a person's race because of his skill. But, since it seemed like it would be quite chaotic when revealed, he chose to close his eyes and mouth to the matter.
“We are Adventurers who are traveling. Can we sell this?” Laciel said while taking something out of his inventory.
He took out several pieces of the rhino insect monster body along with its exoskeleton, and many other pieces of the monster body. He also took out all the bodies of his subordinate monsters that had been killed in the Redwood War. Everything piled up in front of the reception desk to fill the surrounding area and make itself the center of attention.
Very profitable once they can still provide benefits to me even though it is gone. May you be calm in nature. Inner Laciel.
Si– magic room, huh? The officer is in. Se– seems like it was a wise choice not to reveal their secrets.
After selling their hunting and getting paid, they now have plenty of free time before sunset. Hana and Nadja decided to spend their time shopping. The Capital of Canaria is a central city that almost matches the Royal Capital. So, it never hurts to shop and spend money after a few days of travel.
On the other hand, Laciel wanted to go somewhere else. He wanted to find a container that might be willing to buy some of the items he took from the bandits, as well as the items from the Royal troops that were piling up in his inventory. Therefore, the direction was different from Hana and Nadja who went to the inner city, whereas she was still in the outer city, even going to the slums if possible.
To make it easier for him to search, he had already deployed all of his subordinate Wraiths that existed now other than one in case of giving an emergency message. While waiting for them to return to him, he chose to take a walk around the outer city.
The second and third largest jobs that are most in demand by residents in this city are Miners or Workers and Forgers, in addition to Adventurers who are still much favored because many jobs are waiting to eradicate monsters in underground mines. Seeing the many Forges here, he felt like buying three sets of equipment for himself, Hana and Nadja.
After walking for some time, he noticed that there was a Forging Sovereign in an ordinary shop. What attracted him was the status of a black armor.
[ Item Name: Lamina of Darkness
Type: Armor
Note: A armor made by a Named Iron Skipper in the Capital of Canaria, Zamara Kingdom of Zaenia steel. It has the ability to match the shape to the body of its Master, as well as enchant magic resistance to sacred magic and elemental magic.]
Made by the famous Iron Man? Isn't this a masterpiece? Laciel sat in admiration for the armor.
“There can I help you with?”
Not aware Laciel had been noticed by the Iron Man.
“Ah, I see your man-made armor is very good.” Laciel praised him sincerely.
“Ha ha, thank you very much. That was my best masterpiece.” The Iron Clever Word. “Include, I am Galmar. You can call me that. I'm an Iron Man in this city.” His voice introduced himself as he extended his hand to shake hands.
“Please enter.”
After saying so, she walked into her shop again, followed by Laciel like a duck following her mother.
From the outside, the shop looks ordinary. Just like the other shops, but once inside, Laciel felt something very different. Inside there are many armour and weapons displayed along the walls, worn to wooden mannequin dolls, or neatly stored in wooden crates and boxes. And it was all Laciel felt a powerful aura.
Each one is at least a masterpiece.
“How much was the price of the armor, Galmar-san?” Laciel asked.
“Ah, which one is it? The price is very expensive! 15 gold pieces!” Sajar Merah Besi with pride. “It was my masterpiece. Even a Count-level Noble would rethink before membe ...”
Not yet had time to finish his words, his attention was distracted by the sound of pieces of golden yellow metal that Laciel threw on his desk.3 pieces of gold bearing the number 5 were paid in advance. The Blacksmith named Galmar was frozen in place with a face that showed an expression of disbelief.
If only I knew he was that rich, his mind would be sorry.
“Do you have two other masterpieces?” laciel asked, not caring about Galmar's incredulous look.
The money he made earlier after selling the monster body was so much that it almost bankrupted the Adventurers Union. Buying good equipment is the same as investing money for the future.
After buying the other two supplies for Hana and Nadja and putting them in his inventory, Laciel immediately went somewhere. One of his subordinate Wraiths had found a Conqueror. The location he was referring to was a slum in the east.
...*****...
A white-haired young man in a black robe was walking in a very shabby area. Rubbish and the smell of dirt everywhere. Wooden house that has been weathered walls. People with dull skin and a little bit of meat to show their bones. This was a place that Laciel had very little thought of in a very large city.
Digging back to his old memories, he recalled his old country's Capital which also had many slums on the outskirts of the city, far from the sparkling lights of the city center filled with tall buildings.
“Mau anywhere, it looks like the same.” He muttered to himself. “Entah who is to blame.”
Stepping towards a building that was quite large compared to the other wooden houses, he walked based on the knowledge given by his subordinates. The place is locked from the inside. And there were guards around.
Five people outside, six people on the roof, and ten people inside. Inner Laciel counted every guard around the place.
Walking closer, he knocked on the door five times. That's a code
firstly.
Someone from the inside asked, “Who?”
That's a question asking for a password. Different answers, different results will be obtained. Fortunately, his subordinates listened to many ciphers and knew every need of the person who came while watching from behind the shadows.
“Bandits of the mountain.” Answer Laciel. It was a cipher for people who wanted to sell illegally obtained items.
“Come.” Reply to the person from inside opening the door.
As he entered, he saw the person questioning him was one of the guards. His body was muscular and very tall. Has several wounds all over his body that indicate his manhood. Although it is not known whether it was obtained from hunting monsters or made by himself.
After entering, the door was closed. Around him were four people. One of them will take him to the Fencer. The person he was going to meet was not a random person. He has a wide network up into the circle of Nobles so that his activities can run smoothly.
Dozens of detained slaves lined up along the passageway. This is just a small piece of his business that has been patronized.
