Chapter 56 (1/2)

– Adventurer Life Day 63 (Sun) – Afternoon – Olbia – Northern Gate

During a cloudy day, we finally reached our destination from our 7-day escort

This is the first time I've been to a city other than Comnes… and it's in a different country at that… The new experience is so me excited

It's not uncoes to remain in the first city they've been to until they reached enough status to be hired as an escort

Even I wouldn't have been hired so easily if I orking as a solo warrior

… Then again, it's not really uncommon for someone to stick to one place for all their lives

Olbia city is situated in a fairly hilly plains, so it was easy to see it at considerable distance

Even with the walls covering the city, there was still a building towering above that

Most likely, that would be the castle of the one who governs the city

I wonder howthe walls

With a size like that, it's difficult to tell if we are getting closer to there or not

“That's a big castle gate… we've been walking towards the gate for sothe sheer size of the city Coht and length of the surrounding walls are at least twice as the one there… I wonder why they need it so big

“… They're walls ainst hu my mind, Cesar answered my question behind me

“Eh… Even places like here has wars?”

“If ht, the last war Olbia had was about 400 years ago They're at peace right now… Though I can't say much about the smaller countries further south, especially with the ones in the coastal areas There have been s every now and then there… Still not as messed up as the north however”

It's a little different from what I heard at Comnes… I have been told it was relatively peaceful down the south, but froh there that even h I suppose it was a little naive to think that the only area we need to worry about is the north…)

I was thinking of taking an adventure around the coastal areas, but it see to have to put a ht

After a short walk later, the head of the caravan groupas they procure the per over, the aruards there seem to be made completely from metal…

A sharp contrast from the ones in Co only certain areas

This alone tells me that Olbia is quite a prosperous city

Each caravan passes through the gate individually When passing through, the caravans would be inspected while the escorts and passengers would be asked for their naate

“Hey… Would it be fine for you if you could also come to Palmilia with us?”

“… I'd like to discuss it with the rest first”

In addition to Cesar, Robert also talked about extending our contract with the escort request to the other southern countries located south east from Palmilia

As important members of their party, they're able toescort related

But we're not a part of their group and have plans of our own, so I asked the others regarding this

“… So, what do you think? Personally, I would prefer to stay in this city like planned”

“Taking a request for escorting would be nice, but to me, it see with other adventurers Staying in this city would be better I think”

“I have no opinion regarding this I'll leave the decision to you”

“SAME here”

With that all decided, I went back to the two

“Is that so That's a shah we've incurred soed to avoid the worst possible outcoain”

“That really is a shaain… I hope you all well!”

We gave our goodbyes to each other, as they continue on ahead into the city

It see their work, so they'll be quite busy today

They'll be resting at Olbia for to their departure

“The guild will be right up ahead on this road It's in an open area, so it's hard toright outside of the inn where theat

First stop is the guild… though I don't really need soto stand out, I had the normal skeletons desummoned

“There are some fine houses here compared to Comnes”

“There's pretty much 2-story houses all around here… why is that?”

“The population here is her compared to Comnes As it would be difficult to expand the city further, it's s”

“Hm… I would like to look inside those houses out of interest”

“Phillips, you can take a look as soon as we get an inn”

“Hoohh… As you have heard my lord Please do not have me return to the coin”

Like they said, alh, and the rest even reach 3 stories

It feels a little inti when you were already used to the ones in Co in a city like this city, so I a Phillips and Centurion byover two heads taller than us and being decorated with a so arh the street

It was a usual sight at Co towards this way… though it does part the crowd easier for us

“… Let's hurry towards the guild”

Keeping in line behind Phillips, we got through at a quick pace as the crowd parted when passing
