55 Episode 54: Reunion and Encounter (1/2)

”Wow ...!”

After arriving at the royal city of Horus and passing through the castle gate.

A sparrow was looking out of the window, feeling terrified, and exclaimed.

Tensions have not yet diminished, but the spectacle of the royal capital could not have been astonished.

For a girl alone in the woods, the prosperity of the royal city must have been a view of a dream world.

There is no end to the characteristics of Horus.

Anyway, one road is completely different from other cities. A city where the driveway and sidewalk are well separated is probably a royal city in the Kingdom of Canary. As far as I know, Adastella's Imperial City does not have such an orderly street.

There are two roads instead of one. The carriages are forced to travel to the left in the direction of travel, so that congestion rarely occurs when hundreds of carriages come and go at the same time.

The sidewalk is also wide enough on the sidewalk so that many people go and do not bump their shoulders. Street trees and herbs are planted between the road and the sidewalk, making the people of the road entertain.

Go board A town called Horus forms a street that runs 10 streets in the east and west and 10 streets in the north and south.

The kingdom of the Kingdom of Canary has not grown ad hoc with population growth. Under advanced urban planning, it has evolved based on precise calculations.

The first king, who created this royal capital, must have been a fairly devastated one.

If you just look at the cityscape, you can see that the royal city of Canary has surpassed the capital of Adastera.

At that time, the tone of the instrument was heard from outside the carriage.

At first glance, an old man wearing tattered clothes on the roadside is strumming violently with string instruments that seem to be lutes.

Outfits are poor for bards of travel.

While watching, the old man began to play and speak in a high pitched voice.

”Sora-san, what are you doing?”

Biwa: ”Well, if you were a poet, you would care a little more ...

”B-Wow ...?”

”Oh, now is the name of my country. Well, um, a priest on a journey around the preaching of God's teachings. Sometimes I'm just a migrant ...”

A priest and a priest on a journey preaching the teachings of God wandering around while playing musical instruments.

Mostly followers of the god of beauty (the guardian of the arts) or the god of fortune (the guardian of travelers and merchants). However, there is also a lawyer who worships the god of law and the god of charity.

They are knowledgeable and many can use magic. In addition to preaching the teachings of God, they sometimes encourage people to talk about past narratives and travel experiences like bards. For this reason, practitioners were welcomed in basically every town and village.

Things change again in a crowded city, but at least there is no place to actively persecute the lawyer. If you harm them, the temple of Omoto will travel.

――Some of the immigrants impersonate such lawyers and enter the city. That's what I said.

While talking about such a thing, the carriage went on, and the figure of the sorcerer disappeared from view.

But after that, I could see similar people everywhere.

Many of them are as shabby as vagrants. Probably, those who have eaten up in the provinces are gathering in the royal capital for work. If you act as a sorcerer, you won't be taxed when you enter the castle.

Of course, you can only enter the castle and not take care of your house and meals. However, in a big city like Horus, you will earn a certain amount of money by just playing and playing.

It was a sight unique to the royal city, full of people and things.

Later, we were led to a magnificent building in the center of the royal city.

Good location, good appearance, apparently a noble mansion. It is undoubtedly a senior aristocrat above the Earl. It is not surprising to say that it is a royal residence.

Apparently, the messenger was running in advance, and there were a number of people who seemed to meet him in front of the mansion.

Knights are soldiers, butlers are maids, and there are no gaps between them, depending on their respective positions.

And in front of the main gate stood a silver-haired gentleman, presumably their lord.

The look and power are not just plain. Even a wild tiger is likely to be conceded with just one glance.
