Will of chaos

693 Cap 691: Vartry kingdom

I was in awe of the boat flying through the sky, every man is born dreaming of flying, at least that's a saying I saw in a movie that I agree with.

Unfortunately, not everyone sympathizes with my reaction to this flying wonder.

"Forget the Floating Ship, think about the trouble you're going to cause other people." (Nix)

"Where's your positivity? It's going to be okay." (I)

"Master, sorry for the sincerity, but nothing ever gets too close to you." (Nix)

"You make it sound like I'm some sort of bad luck charm." (I)

"It's more like an incarnation of bad luck." (Nix)

"Huh, that kind of mean comment breaks my heart." (I)

"It's not a mean comment if it's a fact." (Nix)

"Besides, figuratively hurting your heart rather than seeing your bones actually break when everything inevitably goes wrong." (Nix)

"..." (I)

Deep down I know she's saying this for my own good, but after seeing that thing flying through the sky, I feel a youthful desire in my heart to get into one of these just enjoying the ride.

"You're not going to give up, are you?" (Nix)

"Probably not." (I)

"Do you know you have wings? Ragnar you are riding now has wings." (Nix)

"You can even fly on my back or Orion's, so forget about the Floating Ship." (Nix)

"Don't you understand, that would be different from flying on your own or riding one of you." (I)

"It must be very nice to travel that way, from the looks of it, it must land on water, it must be very interesting." (I)

Sigh

"We are lost..." (Nix)

"Come on, be more excited, where's your excitement?" (I)

"Why don't you say anything, Ragnar?" (Nix)

"It would be useless, I see his eyes, even with everything you've said, he's still going to do that, speak seraninutil." (Ragnar)

"It hurts to have my own Familiars treating me like this." (I)

I was faking hurt feelings while imagining the scene of Titanic in front of one of those flying ships, then I thought of something even more exciting, if there are flock ships in the sky, then there could be sky pirates.

"His eyes are shining." (Ragnar)

"I'm getting more and more worried." (Nix)

----------

After arriving in front of the Vartry Kingdom's gates, I enter the very long line there was to enter the city.

I haven't seen such a long queue to enter a city before, plus there was more than one queue.

There was a line for people on foot or on horseback looking like ordinary people, a line of people using carts or carriages of different sizes that I assumed were merchants, and there was also a line of carriages looking from elegant to unnecessarily ostentatious.

I get in the normal people queue where I saw Armored and Armored Adventurers waiting, I noticed that the fastest queue was the noble ones, the merchants queue was the opposite being the slowest, only when my queue walked to the front after of more than 1 hour that I found the reason.

All the merchants' carriages were being searched, it also appears that they check whether people have affiliation with the Merchant Guild as a registered merchant or a contractor.

It seems that surveillance was heavy in this Realm, there was even an envoy from the Commerce Guild the following everything closely with serious eyes.

With my ears, I was able to hear what they were talking about.

"Sir, are you sure it's today?" (random soldier)

"The information we've got from the captured drug dealer indicates yes, but it was supposed to be in the morning, so keep looking." (Envoy from the Commerce Guild)

"Yes, but the commander is getting impatient because of the complaints from the visiting nobles." (random soldier)

Sigh

"He only deals with them in passing, imagine what it's like for us merchants having to put up with nobles daily for hours." (Envoy from the Commerce Guild)

Listening to a low-voiced conversation at this distance is one of the wonders of evolution, maybe because I'm a Vampire, I'll ask a Human later.

From what little I heard before diverting my attention, it seems that a dealer has been captured and delivered an illegal shipment that would take place today, they are mainly looking at merchants and Nobles, but I see someone monitoring my line as well.

After a few more minutes, it's my turn, they make me put my hand on a crystal that glows green for truth and red for a lie, and they told me to just say yes or no so as not to divert the answers to a mistake.

The questions were:

If I was a criminal.

If I was just visiting.

If he wanted to harm the Vartry Kingdom.

If he was bringing something illegal.

If you were going to buy something illegal.

These questions made sense if they were looking for criminals, I answered everything calmly without lying, in this Kingdom, I was not a criminal and I never considered myself one.

Besides, I didn't come here to do anything illegal, nor is the reason just a last tourist trip to this continent before I leave, of course, if I do something illegal it will be something I decided at the moment.

I'm not an enemy of that Kingdom either, and I don't intend to be.

After answering everything calmly and showing my Adventurers Guild card, I entered without any problems, only after I entered I thought that I am actually a smuggler, I am bringing many people illegally with me inside the Dungeon, I'm glad I didn't think of that before or perhaps he would not have been able to deliver and would have been arrested.

It seems like thinking a lot made me realize something that would have landed me in prison, while I was worried about that I pass through the gate to the other side and I'm impressed to see two more different ships flying over the city left is very big, the city is even larger than the capital of the Black Empire.

All the buildings were three floors up, plus the streets were very busy, there were many signs of stores and my nose smelled the aroma of many types of food nearby.

The city's colors were completely built apart from rocks, I didn't see anything nearby that looks like it was built with wood.

"This place looks like fun, but first let's try the local food." (I)

I was starting to get hungry, so I spot a food stall and go there almost drooling.

After eating a leg of some sort of grilled giant crab monster along with Ragnar who has returned to his humanoid form and Nix who has come out of the Shadows, these two are very fond of eating.

Ragnar ate 5 times his weight in food from the nearby food stalls while asking for the recipes for the foods he liked to jot down in his notebook.

Ragnar always writes down the recipes he likes to show Caryna later, he likes to eat and Caryna likes to cook, the two have a strange friendship that revolves around food.

After eating I decided to take notes with them around the city until I found a hotel to stay in, this time I don't want to buy a house just to stay a week, but maybe it's good to rent a house instead of staying in a hotel.

As we were walking down the street, I saw many different races, there were many Demons and Demis, I even saw a Centaur, he was in a group of five Adventurers, they were all of the different races.

But what surprised me was to see a Celestino among them, his wings must be hidden, but I can feel in his Aura traces of this race that I already felt in Athena, but he seems weaker and still has long ears that are a little smaller than the Elves, must be a hybrid of the two races.

I kept looking at the various races, but I didn't see any Humans anywhere, there were also a few Vampires.

As we walked I realized that I don't know the surroundings, so I went to an alley where Nix went to get Elsaris and Lilian to act as a guide for us.

"You shouldn't be in this city, everything here is more complicated than it looks." (Elsaris)

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I'm not walking around alone either." (I)

"We're looking for the Commerce Guild, let's rent a house for the week." (Nix)

"No need, I have a house here, I had a lot of jobs in this city, so I bought a house 491 years ago." (Lilian)

"Don't you mind if we use it?" (I)

"It would be a pleasure to host you, but we would have to hire some maids as the place has been abandoned for over 70 years." (Lilian)

"We have some in the Dungeon, many Hobgoblins have chosen jobs that are not combat-focused as they find themselves falling behind from the battles on the Morror Continent." (I)

"There seems to be a lot that she has learned from Freya and Caryna, but as Freya didn't want to train everyone to have time for herself to train with her bow." (I)

"They're not the only ones, there are others like the Nymphs and Incarnations of the Forest who do work on farms and other places." (Elsaris)

It reminds me that I haven't seen any Nymphs for a while now, I haven't even visited the farm for months as it's on another floor of the Dungeon, I'll check it out later.

"We're going to stay here for a week while we can explore the various types of transport to see where we can go from here." (I)

"But no Floating Ships." (Nix)

"I do not promise anything." (I)
