Episode 565: Port Cities and Main Gates

In fact, I was able to get through the woods without walking so much.

I saw a wall a little further from there, so I go that far.

It is early morning so the sky is clear and the area looks good.

The streets also seem to extend, and as we approach the walls, so does the number of people going there.

Many people go on foot, not just in carriages.

Also unexpected...... or as a sight not seen in Malt, there is a racial difference going on there.

There are quite a few beasts, so to speak.

A beast man, is a generic name for a species with a beast factor, which is more finely divided precisely, but it was easier to tell from a human race, from the likes of us commonly referred to as a beast man, is bracketed that way.

In detail, it feels like a werewolf, a wingman... etc.

Some people say it's unusual, but I've never seen it before.

Sometimes I see it in malts about other beasts, but it's pretty little.

The same is true of a country called Yarlan, because the malt is mostly rural, which would mean that it is not a very well inhabited place for the so-called Beastman.

Well, I guess the biggest part is that it's not like you're purposefully moving from another part of the country because it's simply rural.

There are many other races, but beasts can live relatively anywhere, and in large numbers.

Even the malt should be able to live without problems, but the only thing that doesn't come... is the countryside.

By comparison, Lucalis is both urban and urban here.

I guess that's still quite appealing to the Beast Man.

Will Malt also have more beasts if he prospers more......

I'd appreciate it if you did.

At any rate, they are often physically superior.

The fact that there are many of them also leads to an increase in the strength of the Adventurers' Union Guild in the land.

If there are many good adventurers, that's all the people in the city can help......

Well, let's talk about it first.

In the meantime, we need to get inside Lucalis.

Confounded by many people lining the main entrance to Lucalis.

If it is malt, it will go on like this, and if you show your ID to the soldier who is the gatekeeper, that will be fine.

Although Lucalis is also another country, Ariana Free Maritime State, the general mechanism remains unchanged.

There may be different parts of taxes, procedures, etc., but they are known to be quite tolerant of foreigners only because they are free in the name of the country in the first place.

Sometimes it flourishes in trade, and I guess it doesn't feel too tightly controlled.

"… the next. Come here!"

The line gradually proceeded, and as they called it so, when I headed, I was seen with frigid eyes by the gatekeeper soldier.

I wonder why, for a moment, and then I think about it.

I'm already used to gatekeepers in Malt, but to me...

"... can you take that mask off?

Yes, there was this.

Even Malt had it all at first.

I could cut through it thanks to Lina, but that's not how it works here.

But now I know I have a solid ID, and yes, I will not be demonized.

So you just have to deal with it in grandeur...

"I just wanted to take it off, but thanks for this mask, it seems I'm cursed. It won't come off."

"Is that true? No, not that I doubt it..."

Liar, you suspect me tremendously, I'd love to, but I know you're telling me that so as not to be rude, so I'm not going into it.

"It's easy to prove. Try pulling it off thoughtfully. 'Cause you'll never come off."

"... what if it comes off?

"That's already, Hail. I've been trying a lot to take this off, too. But it didn't come off at all... Strength, witchcraft, holy chi... to the point where there is no more Kiri. Try it."

This was even a dialogue that came out because it was not a lie at all.

I hear the soldiers found something interesting in my words.

"Well, let me try."

"Go ahead. Oh, can someone hold onto my body?

"Well, I will"

That's what another soldier says, hands around my shoulder and wings tight.

Then,

"Now if you'll excuse me... Hmm... no!!

I grabbed the edge of my mask and pulled it, but it doesn't look like it's coming off.

Speaking of me, it doesn't hurt at all, but if you think about this, if a normal person put it on, it's going to run pretty severe.

Because it's the same as being pulled through the skin of your face...

Well, you stuck it in my face without letting that kind of victim out, so let's just say... not good at all.

Soldiers go on for a while, but eventually......

"... Sure, it doesn't come off at all. I'm not lying... there seems to be no sign of magic."

"Isn't it? It's a problem. Yes, I hear there are various curses flowing in this Lucalis. Is there anyone who can do something about this?

"Hmm? Right...... maybe if you were a Malga curse shop you could do something about it. Well, if you go, you go, and when you come out, you better watch out because you might be feathers bearing a new curse."

"I see... I'm definitely going to go..." That's right. Can I come in?

"Oops, I was. Well, as special as the mask doesn't come off, there's nothing suspicious about it. I wouldn't mind. Identity cards do look like they belong to the Adventurers' Union Guild too...... by the way, I'm asking once and for all, what is the purpose of your stay?

"The first is the labyrinth, isn't it? Then we're going to collect the ingredients for the dispensation."

"Well, you're a pharmacist by the looks of it. People don't know what it looks like."

"Well, it's like an apprenticeship. My teacher says I don't mind selling it if it's basic, so please let me know if it's for you. If you make a request to the Adventurers' Union Guild, I'll take it if you're there."

"That's bad. Let me count on you then. Welcome to Lucalis, then. The masked adventurer and pharmacist. Have a nice stay."
