Chapter 39 – A Man Working in a Travel Destination
Dobat is located at the front, very close to the Bolasen Confederation.
Even though the word frontline would be a big repulsion to the general people of the empire.
Dobat has always attracted tourists with its name as a city of art and travel.
Dobat, which is now ruled and nested by the Harun Empire.
This was a city where the different races of the Bolasen Federation lived in the distant past.
As the war with the Empire broke out, different races such as dwarves and beastmen took the equipment and valuables they had made and left.
The artworks, statues and architecture created by the masters who lived in Dovat were left behind.
As a result, the lifestyle of a different race completely different from that of the empire remains, and it is always crowded with artists, scholars, and people for the purpose of travel.
–
Wooden buildings and stone buildings of a style that are hard to find in the imperial capital.
From the moment I came out of the gate, this place was advertised as Dovat.
‘It’s been a while here.’
It’s a place I hadn’t even thought of coming to since I had a big mess in the past.
I was going to go to the adventurer’s guild in Dobat upon arrival, but… I still have time.
‘The meteor at the entrance ceremony must be related to Hidden Peace…’
There is no problem if you check the hidden pieces that were empty in the past and go to the guild.
That was the purpose of coming over to Dobat at such a late hour in the first place.
I put aside the image of Rike that occupied my mind for a while and blended in with the crowd of people walking down the street.
Although there are many people, the atmosphere is completely different from the capital city.
Most of the people who came for the trip felt relaxed in the steps and faces of the passers-by.
-Wow, you made this by hand?
– First time seeing this…
-There are famous sculptors in the empire, right?
-If I pray here, I think it will work…
A statue of a woman praying towards the sky.
Even the sky-like fabric that seems to blow away when the wind blows and the rosario hanging in your hand.
It’s hard to believe looking at it again, but it’s all part of a solid statue.
One of the statues of Dobat that catches the attention of passers-by at least once.
Most say that the dwarf master sculpted it, but why he sculpted a human woman is hard to answer.
‘It’s dawn soon, so there are so many people?’
In normal cities, this is the time when guards roam in groups and most shops except taverns and inns are closed.
However, because of the nature of the destination, the vibrancy did not diminish even when the night came.
Now that I think about it, I think I had these thoughts when I came to Dovat before.
“Hmm···.”
I sat on a wooden bench in the park and waited for the number of people to decrease.
Even this was the same procedure as in the past.
The moment you enter the dungeon is natural, but it’s best not to see it.
Gaze of others.
It’s a part that I don’t even think about in the game, but there are times when the brakes are like this in reality.
I sat for a while and waited for a moment without people.
– Shall we go to the church next? I heard there’s a famous statue there too.
-We haven’t eaten a single meal right now… Let’s eat some food and move…
-Dobart sells chocolate made in the shape of a statue, not rice…
…
…
The group, which seemed to have come from a group tour, rushed away, leaving me alone in the park except for the people coming from afar.
“Aww!”
Get up from the bench and head towards the statue.
He stretched out his hand over the line that had been placed to keep him away from the statue.
With the mana-clad hand, gently grab the hard hand of the statue that is praying toward the sky.
“…The goddess wants a hymn.”
Gying-
–
The light that flowed from the statue carried me to the place where I arrived at a long hallway with a blocked back and only going forward.
Movement using plausible symbols and start words.
Although this looks miraculous, it is a deteriorated version of the gate commonly used in the empire.
The location is not far from the park where I was, but there is no way out.
Use the statue at the end of the dungeon to exit the same way you entered.
‘I had a hard time here.’
I moved step by step towards the nostalgic dungeon.
At the end of the line of sight, you can see a T-shaped fork in the left and right sides.
From evening to dawn, a superstitious belief is that the goddess, the creator, turns her eyes away from the world to listen to hymns praising her.
It is a conditional dungeon that can only be entered at that time.
Dreuk-!
I pushed the parts of the golem rolling on the floor with my foot.
‘… That’s unfortunate. Wasn’t it a place to regenerate?’
The golems lying on the floor with stone dust were the traces of what I had turned over to find the hidden piece in the past.
This is the first dungeon I came to after getting the Sterling Warhammer from the paladin because the golems are so hard that the sword doesn’t go in well.
Tuck- Tuck-
Every time you walk, the sound of footsteps spreads through the hallway.
On the way to the back of the dungeon, the traces of my hard work, entangled with the golems, were clearly visible, which gave me a new feeling.
Traces of an extremely crude blow.
At a glance, you can see inefficient actions that you would never do now.
“Kuhm!”
After passing through the embarrassing dark history of not being able to properly master the aura, traces of a giant golem are gradually visible.
At the end, the golem lying with its head and arms split was twice as big as a normal golem and was a different color.
‘It’s empty… I think I’ll smash it once.’
There is no golem to test growth.
Since all the golems were already broken, I just walked to the end of the dungeon.
Even if it is empty, in the end, there is only a law that requires a fair reward.
I went through a lot of hardships when I was a youngster and was mentally drained because there was no reward, so I should receive the mental consolation money for the day.
*****
As soon as Rike opened his eyes in bed, he screamed inwardly.
Looking around, Roman was nowhere to be seen.
‘I couldn’t even see my brother off…!!’
She goes out on a request for the first time after becoming a lover, but she is tired of being alone and falls asleep.
Even if Roman could convince her that she could do that, it was something she could never convince herself.
“Ah-! Really…!!”
As Rike lay down and struggled, he saw the clothes Roman had taken off.
‘But… It was good… My brother was happy too.’
Just thinking about it, the corners of her mouth go up at will.
Treat it harshly, yet cherish it.
He drove himself crazy by showing two things that cannot be mixed like water and oil at the same time.
‘Sometimes that’s nice too…’
Just thinking about yesterday makes my stomach ache.
Her body heats up a little just by imagining it, but without her brother, she hates to be alone.
She had never done it alone, but I was sure she wouldn’t be satisfied.
Rike got up from her bed and grabbed Roman’s shirt hanging from her chair and put her nose in it.
“Sup- haa-“
The faint scent of Roman.
That alone calms the mind.
“Huuuuu… Brother…”
The time was coming for her to go to her academy as she hugged her clothes and she rolled around the bed.
‘I should go…’
Better to pass the time quickly doing something at the academy than being at home without her brother.
Having to be alone for a few days is already a heavy loneliness that weighs on her heart, but she has to adapt.
This situation will happen many times in the future.
Even if I’m soaked in happiness that seems to be suffocating, I shouldn’t forget what I have to do in the future.
The same goes for training.
Rike came to her senses and donned her academy uniform.
Once she started the day, she came out of her bedroom to eat a simple meal.
‘I was going to eat my brother’s dinner and send him off…’
The more she thought about it, the heavier her heart became.
“Yes?”
A crate that was in the corner of the bedroom is pulled out in the center of the living room.
Even my brother’s memo written in bad handwriting on the top.
Click-
“···!!”
It was not a few days of waiting, but things to play and eat for the rest of my life.
From pockets full of gold coins to precious potions.
It’s full of things I don’t know how to use.
‘Because I’m really worried…’
Rike laughed and took out a gold coin, put it in her pocket, and put her chest back in the bedroom.
With this, you can buy things you need for a home and still have some leftovers.
With her steps lightened after reading Roman’s notes, Rike headed to her academy.
*****
– The sword manufactured by separating the pommel by …
‘···Ask?’
Seria glanced at Rike, who was taking her class beside her.
He’s been fine lately, but today he’s having blank eyes again.
First of all, Seria is also an aristocrat, so there is no way she doesn’t know the author after Skadi.
Horrible rumors and disasters that happened in the past are so famous that I know the rough story.
So at first I was worried about what else was going on.
Rike’s face blushed and the corners of her mouth went up slightly.
‘Am I wrong? You laughed…?’
It was the first time Seria had ever seen Rike smile like that.
Although she never questioned her private life, she might have sensitive affairs.
Right now, Seria felt like she was going crazy with curiosity.
In this case, it is ideal for her to tell Rike herself rather than asking herself.
If she’s really happy, she might want to talk to her acquaintances and show off her happiness.
“Like-“
“Yes?”
Seria called in her small voice, and Rike turned her head slightly to look at Seria.
“Do you want to eat dinner with me tonight?”
The two of them ate together before going to the adventurer’s guild.
Ricke used to replace meals with milk or convenience food at lunchtime, so we never went to the academy cafeteria together.
After that, Rike skipped attendance for a long time, but recently, when the academy ended, Rike disappeared like the wind, and there was no time to recommend.
She used to go back without looking back at the days when neither she nor her sister were there.
Rike pondered a little on my words, then nodded.
“…Okay. I think it’ll be fine.”
