“Of course!”

The lady smiled at him and quickly disclosed the inforive hio to the shi+p captain or the firstThey could still deny him access to the shi+p if they already were booked beforehand It was possible for the shi+p to be bought out by a richallowed on the trip

“You have ain”

After getting the pier nu about the layout some more, he had what he came for Now like always he needed to find hie city had an active adventurer guild and a dungeon Considering this, there would not be a proble a better room for his money as it was in the previous town

With his visit to the city docks being over, he headed towards the commercial district There he was surprised to find various neon signs and a city bustling with life This was a stark contrast to cities like Edelgard or even Albrook where when night rolled around most people returned to their hoe adventurer population and the people that co fro to attract people Colorful signs that radiated y were purposely created to draw in the eyes of people visiting From the distance, he could even hear music and the cheers of people It see place in the open which was quite a rarity

‘Street perfor like a circus?’

Roland stopped hi sounds of music What he needed noas not to have fun but to prepare for his journey hoirl at the docks about possible alternatives and was shocked to hear that if hein three weeks

Most of the shi+ps here connected to thea shi+p that would take hiirl didn’t have a detailed map of the shi+p's paths so was unable to help hiht take even longer than going through the potentially dangerous e

“Sir, could I interest you in our city’s specialty, roasted Soul Carp!”

“May I interest you in this pearl necklace, I’rab the heart of any lady!”

“Would you be interested in buying …”

The shout of the peddlers continued as he ignored the from food to actual weapons It was as if the roads were built to house the small stands from which these people could sell their wares Thanks to his identification skill he was able to easily identify everything

It was clear that these people were a bunch of sca advertised were mostly different Even the food was counterfeit as the fish was in actuality only ato get for it For some reason he also expected the ones in power to be fine with it

‘I bet they allow these people to sca as they pay their taxes The more they can sell their wares the more money flows into the city’

The lord could easily ban these scaain from it? Roland kne some nobles operated, they would not care if a co to the as the side of the city that was populated by higher class people was in order, whatever happened on this side was not their probleh”

Luckily his appearance was si his voice toward the people blocking his way they quickly ave hih its fair share of problems Rowdy customers appeared from time to time that could destroy a uards are patrolling to keep the cities in order…’

When passing through he could see various ar to the side While they did look his way after he nored him quickly It seemed that the lord are of thethe merchants safe themselves they would not need to ask any cri them would line the Valerian noble’s pockets instead

‘I can’t ih’

Finally, he arrived at his destination and was greeted by a long street filled with various inns, pubs, and restaurants It seened so that the people staying at the inns weren’t far away from places with food and entertain by having his shop away from the city and the eyes of many potential clients

The streets were filled with various travelers, not only adventurers who ca were also here Many merchants were interested in a deal of their life so they flocked to cities like this Al a regular peddler like the ones he saw before

“hello there sir, could you be searching for a place to stay for the night? Our Inn has the comfiest beds!”

Before he could analyze the surroundings and pick an inn to stay he was interrupted by a young girl of about ten She was holding a sign with a picture of a black cat When looking at the building she was standing close by he could see the sa that looked like a neon sign This reminded hioing between cities

“Yes I am, could you show me the way?”

“Yes Sir, please follow reed to visit her Inn Roland was not picky, he wanted to get a place to rest and have some privacy There were soht Even though the stores here were open for longer than usual there was not much time left now

“I heard that you had free roo by yourself?”

“Yes”

Soon the young girl brought hiirl's mother The resemblance was there and the woman quickly found hi for the night now or going out?”

“I will return later if that’s fine with you?”

“We are open throughout the entire night, please return whenever you wish You can get your key from me when you return”

It seerown to accommodate their customers Most of the time even the inns and pubs had a cut-off before they locked their doors His ared some coins for the room and went on his way towards the tool shops

‘They should have soraded runes before the night is over’

Roland needed to at least remain here for another week With that in raded after the use of hisskill Only with a proper ha skill without burning through all of hiscity consuood price on the items he desired was debatable
