Unnamed Most Powerful Mage (WEB Version)

Irtia, the capital of more than 70,000 inhabitants ruled by the Irsuka Marquis.

I jumped over the wall without going through the main entrance to that capital, and when I saw the streets of the capital, Iltia, one person muttered, "It's not what I thought..."

However, the street is splendid, 10 meters wide, and the capital is built on the Acer board, which I think is functional.

The problem is that people don't have as many streets as they do during wartime.

I'm just a little sorry to think there are more people out there and they're lively.

"Maybe there's something about dragons and there's not much crowd..."

I walk on a path with few people, fooling around by myself.

After walking for a while, I discovered a shop doing business along the street.

When I approached him, he handled vegetables and such.

Some of the products handled also contain fruit.

Excuse me.

"Yes, yes... Welcome"

Out of the store came an elderly woman.

The bent hips make me think I'm quite old...

"Here, I'd like to buy it."

"You're an apple. There will be five copper coins."

"... one, right?

I asked back.

In the seaport town of Calade Scope, it was one apple and one copper coin.

Even civil unrest would surprise me if an apple with one copper coin was doing five copper coins or something.

"Yeah, five copper coins for one apple, right?

"Oh, yes."

I had no choice but to take five pieces of copper out of my cloth purse and give it to an older woman.

And I don't think the apples I've received taste very good, though I'll be honest with you.

I don't know what to say. The apple with the water missing? I'm under the impression.

Well, I worked out in the labyrinth of the sea Rivalua, and my body has no problem eating instant death mushrooms... but I don't even want to eat them.

Still, it's human instinct to want to eat good food.

"Um, I heard that Iltia, the capital ruled by the Ilsuka Marquis, is a busier place?

I give the old lady a piece of silver coin and force her to talk.

When the old woman receives the silver coin, after checking if it is really silver coin.

"That's unusual. I can't believe a young man with silver coins from the Kingdom of Yuzeu."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, okay? Now the Illutia is coming from the West, isn't it? Besides, 90% of the Knights in town moved west. And not only the Knights, but also the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer's Guild are on an expedition to a village called the Alai Village at the request of the Marquis of Illusuka. Thanks to the fact that they're buying up food to keep the army, Ill have no decent food left."

"I see..."

Indeed, it will require enormous costs to move nearly 20,000 troops for several months.

Besides, Emerada told me it was a sudden demonic progression.

In other words, as a result of collecting food in a short period of time, prices are soaring and the capital, Irtia, is probably in a state of excessive inflation.

I have money but I can't buy things.

It afflicts the weak economically in the market.

But there's no excuse for a war, but it's a monster...

"Fine, are you tough?

"Oh, you're not tough. You can't buy wheat after it's been rationed."

"... Really?"

"Besides, there's still a few months left until the wheat comes to fruition."

The more we listen, the worse the economic situation seems for Illutia.

Moreover, when it becomes a large city with a population of 70,000, its impact should soon spill over into local rural areas.

"The Adventurer Alliance seems to be working hard to take down the sea dragon and secure the fishing grounds, but it seems difficult."

Hmmm......

That sounds like a lot of trouble.

Well, Emerada and a thousand troops came back with food.

Not immediately, but it would improve a little... probably... I'm sure.

"Thanks for talking to me"

I threw another silver coin at an older woman and left the spot behind.

In the meantime, we should go to the Adventurers Guild and put down the money because we know what's going on in town. I only have five silver coins and seven copper coins left on hand...

Worst of all, if you take it because it's a good job to collect medicinal herbs, you'll earn about a day's worth of food and accommodation today.
