Chapter 18: Chapter 15 City of Barl[Edited]

We left the city gate behind us and the car moved along the street, there were businesses that offered their products while the shopkeeper shouted calling the attention of passersby. While watching the interaction of all of them Milane speaks to me.

"What was that before?"

“Nothing, I just thought you were going to say that we were the ones who ended up with the bandits"

"That was precisely what I intended to do, why did you stop me?"

"I don’t want to be called to have to give account to the lord of this city. I prefer to pass as a normal citizen without attracting attention. Changing the subject, it seems that all of you are governed by a feudal system, is that correct? Also, precisely where are we?"

She looks at me as if found some strange animal and was trying to classify it, I can't do anything about it. We have only a few days in this world.

"You really don't know anything right? What were you two doing before you reached the town?"

"You may think we lived in isolation and that both left our house together for a better future"

"... Didn’t you say before that you weren't brothers?"

"Tch, how picky, then we are a couple in love who escaped by not being accepted by the love we felt between the two of us"

"... weren’t you a man?"

"Damn, I am a man!! When I said they didn't accept us, it was because of our age difference!"

While having fun with Kurisu's reaction to what I said, Milane pressed right in the place that caused me pain. Seeing me upset, the two try to calm me down because we were getting everyone's attention.

"Sorry, forget your age for how mature you are when talking"

"Okay, whatever. But are you going to answer me or not?"

"Of course, this is the city of Barl, it is governed by Count Renma Barl and he is vassal of the kingdom of Delna. In addition, it is located on the Nureld continent."

Then I was right, it is a monarchy and each city must have its lord appointed by the king. I don’t want to deal with them for now, it is better to wait until I have enough strength so they do not despise me. Also, I don't want to have to deal with some stereotype of a fat ruler who falls in love with Kurisu, or in the worst case, of me and wants to force us as his concubine or mistress.

"When you give your report to the lord of this city, do not mention me or Kurisu, say that someone who passed by saved the town. You understand Milane?"

"I-it's fine, but it can give you a reward for saving the people. Don't you want it?"

"It is not necessary you can keep it, we do not need it for now"

Because of the pressure and seriousness with which I told her not to talk about us, Milane became a little restless, but she quickly recovered and continued to steer the car out of the main street that led to the entrance of the city.

The city seemed quite large in comparison to the town, the houses were not made of adobe and thatched roof. Most were brick constructions and citizens appeared to have a prosperous life at first sight.

I don't want to say that everyone looked rich, I could still see children and adults asking money to others, but it wasn't like they crowded the streets. Wherever I passed my eyes saw people doing their job, not that they emanated happiness from them, it was just normal people doing what they should to survive in society.

There were also a good number of armed people who walked on the streets, alone or in groups. I assumed they were adventurers who resided in this city or were passing through.

But what caught the attention of both Kurisu and me, mainly me, were 2 things. The first thing was the great diversity of races. There were elves, dwarves, leprechaun, people with ears of various animals on their heads, others had tails and lizard scales, or a different skin color and I do not mean normal colors like in our world. Here you could see someone with blue or red skin walking the streets.

The second thing was that they were not as primitive as I expected, apart from the cars pulled by animals, large mechanical vehicles that operated with some kind of energy were distinguished in the streets.

"How many types of race are there in this world?"

"Undoubtedly many, is impressive right? And Barl is considered a small city. At first I was surprised to be raised in a town of humans like Rek, but you get used to it over time”

Although it was a rhetorical question, Milane answered me. And all this is only a small part of Gaia, there will be more impressive things that await us along our path.

"Why don't you better get one of those cars?"

"You know how much those cost? The cheapest is about 30,000C. I had to invest 2,000C for the one that I’m driving. In addition, those vehicles need crystals to move, I prefer mine that just have to feed the big lizard 2 times a day"

I guess it was like telling someone that has to use public transportation in my world, why they don't buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

After making several turns around the city, Milane's car stopped in front of a small house. The ground floor had a small business where it put several items for sale. It was in charge of young human woman in her 18s who was waiting for customers at the counter, she saw us and ran to the car.

"Teacher, you arrived earlier than expected"

"Ah Celi, how's the business going? A lot of things happened and I came back before"

"Teacher? What do you teach her? How to stay single for the rest of her life?"

"Alex!!”

"Of course not! She is a trainee of merchant, so I teach her things about trade!"

"Oh I'm sorry, since you're so mature and you're alone, I forgot that you were a merchant."

"Damn spiteful brat!!”

When I said sarcastically while smiling, she tries to grab me, but I dodge and get behind Kurisu who tries to calm her down. Then we get interrupted by the girl named Celi.

"Who are they Teacher?"

"A friend her name is Kurisu and a damn insolent brat, you can ignore it. Hump"

"So you don't want to make the deal?"

"Is true, the deal ! His name is Alexander, treat him well Celi he is an important client"

"Fuuu ... maybe it's because you care more about coins that you can't get a man"

"It's not your problem, the coins are what give me the sustenance and not some man. Enter quickly and let's do business"

"Well, I have nothing against women who are independent."

Saying that, we follow her and enter the store, we pass the counter and continue until reach what is in the shape of a warehouse due all the things stored inside. I look for a free space and take out all the material of the goblins that obtained by breaking them down with the system. A small mountain with green skins, bones and goblins meat is created, after making sure that it was all I give a sign for them to check it.

Milane with the help of Celi who was called back from her surprise when everything appeared out of nowhere by her teacher, begin their work and review each object while making notes in a notebook. Waiting a few tens of minutes they finish and Milane gives me her estimate of the things value.

"You really ended up with a settlement of goblins right? There are also elite goblins and what should have been their boss in the materials ... for the 123 pieces goblin skin I will give you 25G for each one being a total of 3,075G I will buy the meat for 30G per head, with a total of 3,690, for the bones and the rest 1000G.

Now the elite, 100G for the skin of each one giving a total of 1,300G, their meat for 50G, this is not so to much because there is not much difference with that of the normal goblins, they are 650 in total. The bones and other material will also be 100 per head, 1300G for all of them.

Finally, the Goblin Chief I will give you 5,000G for his entire body. With a total of 16,015G for everything, it is the best price you will get throughout the city. Take it or leave it"

"Okay, for our long friendships just give me 16,000G and keep the rest"

"Tch, damn stingy brat ... it's only 15G, you could round it up at 15,000G. Give me the G card that I gave you before to put them there"

When she tells me, she manage the guild identification and first introduces some G cards, filling the funds in her account I suppose, then I hand mine with 13K-G in it and in seconds she returns it to me, but now this mark 29K-G. Very practical, I wish had one of these in my world to avoid long lines in the bank.

"It was a pleasure making deals with you. Come back whenever you want"

"Likewise, can you tell me where the guild is? I want to register both of us"

"Celi show them the way"

I ask Milane for directions to the guild, I don't want to waste time looking for it and also need to complete the mission as soon as possible, solving my problem she asks Celi to guide our path.

I have the system map, but since the city counts as an internal area and I have to map the surroundings on my own. I will do that later when I have nothing to do, we say goodbye to Milane, promising to meet again and then leave.

Spending several minutes after starting to walk in the streets, we return to the Main Avenue through which enter and continue straight. Time later in front of us a large construction compared to those around attracts my attention, in the center over its entrance has an image of three stone arches as dimensional doors surrounding the silhouette of a person with a sword and a shield. Under this image was read "Word Guild".

"That's the guild, so if there's nothing else I'll be back with my teacher. See you later, visit the store one more time."

Mentioning the obvious Celi says goodbye with a nod and returns where we came from. Is the two of us alone again, both looking at the building for a few moments then we start to walk to enter.

Inside there were a large number of people, the majority formed in lines at the various counters that were served by those who should be guild staff. They dress formally, wore a white shirt and a black vest with the gold logo of the guild where the hearts of people would be. In addition, they wore a black beret over their heads, with the exception of those they physical have horns or large ears of animals such as rabbits that imped it.

When analyzing the content of what is written on each reception cubicle, I find the one that says "New records" and I tell Kurisu.

"We have to line up there to register"

"How do you know?"

"Because it’s written above?"

"Eh, can you read those letters?"

I look at her for a moment thinking about what she was saying and then I see the texts again. Looking at them in detail, although I have the ability to read them I can say that it is the first time that I see these types of letters or symbols...

"It seems that I can read them without problems ... as we speak normally with the people we had meeting so far, I assumed that it was the same language"

"That's for this ring, right?"

With her words Kurisu shows me the hand and on index finger was a ring that I had not noticed. When did she get it? And from who? ... Seeing my doubts he answers me.

"Milane gave it to me the first time we met, when you left us to look for the thieves she wanted to talk to me, but we couldn't understand what each one said. Then she took out this ring and gave it to me, I thought you had one for yourself"

[Universal Language Ring - J

Description: It allows the wearer to understand 100% of what another individual using a similar object tries to express with words in different languages.]

While evaluating the ring I show her my hands so she can see that I don't have a ring. Well, then why can I understand their language and also the letters that I've never seen?

"Eh ... so how do you understand what they say?"

[That's obviously because Cross intended you to go to many worlds, he made it possible for you to understand any language or type of writing]

It must be that way, but why doesn't it show up as a skill in my status? If he gave me that ability, should it be there, Am I grong Aurora?

[Because it is more a capacity and not a skill recognized by the world, it is like the farmers, not for doing that work will receive a skill with that name, it only remains as a capacity that the person possesses]

"It seems that I have the ability to speak any language or read any type of writing"

"Heee ... that's very unfair"

No doubt, but compared to other skills I have this is something simple. Receiving the look of envy from Kurisu the receptionist where we lined up calls us. She takes things that have to do with knowledge very seriously.

"Next please"

A pretty girl on the other side of the counter attend us, it seems we were lucky. From what I see the guild does not discriminate against races in order to work in it or it may be only in this branch, but being such a large organization probably it’s the former.

"Good afternoon, we want to register for the guild, what do we need to do?"

"Be 12 or older than and pay a registration fee of 100G or 10C"

Well, I was worried about the age to enroll in the guild, but I barely make it ... but isn't age a bit lax? Many children can die. Kurisu puts my thoughts into words and asks the receptionist.

"They are not too young to enroll at that age? They can die"

"We have had to reduce the age limit for many complaints. As the guild's credential is often used as identification, requests have been made from important people to reduce the age limit to be able to better control the population using the guild's credentials. In the end the minimum age is 12 years, but it is recommended not to go on missions until 15. While they are in that period of three years it is better to focus on completing low-level missions within the city”

"Then please register us"

"It will be a pleasure"

She gives us some forms that we have to fill out, I complete it while I help Kurisu and when we deliver them she writes them down on some kind of machine similar to a computer. At the end of the procedure she asks us to place our hand on a sphere and while I put my hand there informs us.

"This will verify that you meet the age, in addition to verifying your level. You don’t have to worry, the guild has a high degree of confidentiality and will not provide your data to third parties. Well, with that it would be enough, now your friend"

Kurisu performs the same procedure and in a few seconds also ends. Then the receptionist checks something on what looks like a computer and a small machine prints our guild identifications. The girl checks the credentials and with an apologetic expression tells me.

"Ah, it seems that I made a mistake in your data wait a moment"

"…where?"

"In your gender, I put you as a man"

I expected that, this is becoming so common that am getting used to it, is sad to think about it. After sighing I inform the receptionist.

"It's not a mistake, I'm a man"

"... you are very kind, but it is my responsibility and they will only tell me to be more careful, so do not worry, I will correct it"

"No, it is not because I am being kind, I’m telling you that I AM a man"

"It's true, he's a man. You haven't been wrong."

My voice climbs a scale in tone to emphasize it more and Kurisu continues with words of support. As a result, the girl gives me a beautiful smile and speaks again.

"You really don't have to worry, they don't discount it from my salary or anything like that"

"I tell you that I am a man!! Give me the damn card now!!”

Everyone Stop what they are doing and they turn their vision to us, the silence lasts for a few seconds until a muscular man with a hoarse voice that echoes throughout the place is heard.

"Hahaha, then I am the queen of Delna"

"Hahaha"

The laughs are heard throughout the guild and at that point my reason went flying. I turn to the man that speak and put my hand on the colt to draw it. Suddenly I feel something soft on my back, Kurisu's hands prevent me from pulling out my weapon and her voice tickles my ear.

"Stop Alex, it's too much to kill him for that. Please give us the cards!!"

The receptionist gives the ID to Kurisu and she pulls my hand and takes us out of the guild returning to the main street.
