The player returns after 10,000 years Chapter 334
What is this garbage? (1)
The wind blows at high speed. A few hours after Echidna started flying, the city was seen in the distance. ‘Is that Velen?
Kang-woo looked down at the city with interest.
It wasn’t comparable to Earth’s civilization, but the level of civilization on the Ernore continent was by no means low. ‘At least it doesn’t feel medieval.
The streets were tidy, and there were even streetlights that lit up the night here and there.
It feels like visiting a European city in a rural area rather than a fantasy world.
Drop off Echidna near the city. [Huh! Okay!]
Echidna flapped her wings and began to descend.
A huge dragon suddenly appeared near the city, so there should have been a big commotion originally, but thanks to the Power of Concealment, there wasn’t much fuss.
Oooh ah!
As soon as she got down to the floor, Yeon-joo Cha touched the ground and began to vomit.
While vomiting, he glared at Echidna with resentful eyes.
[Huh.]
Echidna snorted and returned to her human form. Did everyone bring an interpreter? yes.
Kangwoo put a sticker that looked like a motion sickness patch behind his ear.
This was also one of the magical items created by squeezing Khadgar.
let’s go.
Kang Woo and his party walked toward the entrance to the city.
Please show your identification card.
Here it is.
Kang Woo held out a piece of wood to the guard guarding the entrance to the city.
Of course, there is no way that I made an identity card in advance.
You are a mercenary. Please keep in mind that in the event of a commotion, immediate punishment is possible according to the laws of the Velen Territory.
The guard said in a hard voice.
Kang Woo accepted the piece of wood he had held out to him and canceled the power of blind sight.
yes.
I nodded lightly and went inside.
It is said that Uriel was missing, but the appearance of the party members stood out so much that there were 10 of them, so it attracted attention at once.
Wow… W They are goddesses. Look at that damn man…! How in the world is he so handsome!
Cerberus! Cerberus has appeared!
Kangwoo ignored the commotion around him and looked around Bellen’s interior.
…what.’
A faint sense of deja vu.
I remembered seeing a city like this somewhere.
‘Valencia.’
A corrupt city in South America. I felt the sensation I felt then. Brother here….
Kim Si-hoon also called him in a small voice, probably feeling a sense of difference.
Kangwoo opened his eyes narrowly and looked at the city streets calmly.
It’s definitely weird.
It’s not that there aren’t people walking on the streets.
Even now, I was making a fuss while looking at this side with interest.
However, if you look carefully, all the people making a fuss are dressed in fancy clothes and wearing expensive jewelry.
‘rest of it.’
There is no vitality to the extent that the word gruesome comes out.
A negative, gloomy aura
permeated the entire city, and even the faint smell of rotting corpses wafted from the alleyways. ‘Is it because it’s a society with a class system
?
It was unknown whether Belen was like this from the beginning or whether the Ernor Continent itself had this kind of atmosphere. let’s get moving
Kang Woo cut off the idea of continuing for a long time.
He didn’t care if Velen had a wide gap between the rich and the poor or if the common people were suffering.
He had one purpose in coming to this city.
‘Acquisition of general knowledge about the Ernor Continent, such as the location of the High Elves.
I just had to focus on that purpose.
Mr. Kang Woo, wouldn’t you need some money first?
I bet it is.
At Han Seol-ah’s question, Kang-woo nodded.
Whether you’re eating here or lodging, you’re buying things.
Money was absolutely necessary.
‘I don’t know what the currency of the Ernor Continent is
.
Kang Woo recalled the enormous amount of pure gold he had brought with him in advance.
It has already been investigated that a mineral called ‘gold’ is traded expensively on the Erno continent.
Then, let’s exchange the gold we brought into this currency.
Fortunately, there was an institution similar to a bank where gold could be exchanged inside Velen’s territory.
The unit of currency is the Arnan. Roughly looking at the price, there was no big difference from Hanwha, so it had the value of 1 won and 1 Arnan. ‘It’s nice that it’s easy to understand.
It seemed that there would be confusion if the units of gold and silver were different, but fortunately, there seemed to be no confusion with the sense of money.
So, should I change roughly 1 billion Arnans?
If it was 100 million per person, there would be no particular restrictions on moving around on the Ernor Continent.
Kang-woo changed only a small part of the pure gold he brought and made it into cash.
tell me if you need more
Distributing 100 million Arnans to each person, he said.
Of course, carrying around 100 million in cash was burdensome, but fortunately, there was a card that could store currency issued by a bank on the Erno continent.
I never thought there would be check cards in this world.
Kang-woo looked down at the card-type magic tool issued by the bank as if he was at a loss.
To be honest, it felt quite different from the other world I was imagining.
By the way, the unit of currency is Arnan? Is it the Arnan Empire or is there no other country on this continent?
Cha Yeon-ju asked. Of course, there is, but as the power of the Arnan Empire is the strongest and the mage civilization has developed, all other kingdoms use Arnan as a currency.
hehe.
In response to Bernac’s answer, Cha Yeon-joo touched the card as if it were strange.
So, shall we start with accommodation next?
It would be nice.
You won’t be able to research information in one day.
Kangwoo nodded and looked for a nearby lodging.
There was a luxurious inn near a large castle that looked like a lord’s castle.
‘No.’
–
–
Kang-woo, who was about to go there, shook his head narrowly opening his eyes.
–
‘If the purpose is to get information, I’ll go elsewhere.’
What he is thinking of is a place where the first floor is a bar and the upper floor is a lodging.
Compared to the high-class inn you see there, the quality would of course be inferior, but it didn’t have to be thought that the more crowded the place, the easier it was to get this and that information.
Gangu left the main street and found an inn located in a corner.
As he wanted, the first floor was a bar and the second floor was an inn
.
ha. I’m really going crazy
How is Princess Iris these days?
That year is the same. damn! If it wasn’t for that bitch… Hey, you man, watch your mouth! No matter how noble you are, what are you doing!
ah yes Sorry.
As expected, interesting-looking information came before I even opened the entrance door.
‘There seems to be something wrong with the Arnan Empire.
Without doing so, there would be no reason to gossip about the imperial family, even if it was a bar located in a corner.
‘Shall I find out slowly?’
Since he came to the Erno continent, it was also important to figure out how the continent is currently going.
Kangwoo first went upstairs and unpacked his luggage in the room.
Although it’s a bit old, it’s cleaner than I thought.
Han Seol-ah, who shared a room with Kang-woo, said while unpacking.
It’s like having a check card… I’ve heard that the level of civilization here is quite high, but I didn’t expect it to be this high.
Hoho Still, I’m glad it won’t take long to get used to.
Well, I don’t know how long it will be.
Kangwoo said as he sat down on the bed.
Han Seol-ah, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and embraced Kang-woo’s arm.
A heavy yet soft feeling spread through his arms. ‘Cerberus has appeared!’
The cry I heard on the street earlier came to mind.
Han Seol-ah said with a smile.
If I’m with Kang Woo, I’m fine with living here for the rest of my life. … My mother is going to cry.
ha ha ha. Well, Dan Earth is better than here anyway.
Han Seol-ah nodded and spoke in a calm voice.
Mr. Kang Woo. Are you going to rest like this today?
Some weird voice.
Kang Woo shook his head with a sad expression.
Still, it’s already a bit of a break. ugh
Seolah Han pouting her lips cutely. Kang Woo smiled and stood up. So let’s move right away. Yes, Mr. Kang Woo.
Kang-woo gathered the party members who had roughly unpacked and said.
Get into groups and go around the city to gather information about this side. Any info would be great. It’s better if it’s about the situation of the Arnan Empire or about the high elves.
Saying so, Kang-woo divided the groups himself.
I could have predicted what would happen if I let them form groups freely.
Seol-ah, Yeon-joo, Echidna, Si-hun, Layla-san, Lilith, Bernac Balrog, and Halkyon will go together.
Who is Mr. Kang Woo? I’ll gather information here at the bar on the first floor.
The story about Princess Iris, which I had heard passing through the entrance, took some time.
It’s a pity that I can’t go with Kangwoo, but I can’t help it.
Lilith nodded and turned to Bernac.
Let’s gather some useful information and come back.
yes madam.
Bernac bowed politely and said.
Wearing a one-eyed glasses and a butler’s uniform, he looked pretty when he said that.
‘The body is a skeleton.
Wearing a pink apron.
Except for Kang Woo, the party members scattered and started investigating.
Kang-woo, who was left alone, walked down to the dorm on the first floor.
Rough swear words and complaints come and go in a noisy atmosphere.
Seeing that even though it was a bar, no laughter could be heard anywhere, it
was not difficult to realize how miserable
the lives of commoners in Velen were.
‘Let’s have a drink and listen to the story.
You can’t just come to a bar and drink water and listen to the conversation.
It was necessary to order a drink just to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
‘I said they sell beer here too.’
The thought of cold beer made my throat thirsty.
It reminded me of the fact that I hadn’t been able to rest comfortably for the past few months because I was preparing for Erno’s trip to the continent.
‘I’m sorry for the other kids.
I headed for the counter, thinking of a convenient excuse that I couldn’t help it because this was part of my mission.
A beer and some snacks.
Kangwoo, who sat down at the table, ordered drinks and snacks.
Soon after, lukewarm beer and a few slices of ham were served. ‘Oh shit.’
Kang Woo’s expression twisted roughly as he took a piece of ham into his mouth.
‘What’s so salty?’
It was salted without adding a single lie.
If it’s a lukewarm beer, you can cool it down with power, but there was no way to do this.
‘I lost my appetite.’
He spat out the ham in his mouth and frowned.
Then the body of the boy serving the beer trembled.
Oh that. I’m sorry! My sister-in-law is not very good at cooking…
If it doesn’t suit your taste, I’ll change it to another side dish.
The boy hurriedly bowed his back.
Nope. Kangwoo shook his hand and took something out of his pocket.
Instead, put some of what’s inside in a pot and heat it up.
What Kangwoo took out was a vacuum pack containing Han Seol-ah’s kimchi stew.
Gangwoo’s favorite item because it is portable and can be easily warmed up.
Ah, outside food…
Kangwoo took out two 50,000 Arnan bills and stuck them into the boy’s pocket.
I’m going to warm it up right now!
The boy answered with a strong voice and ran to the kitchen with a vacuum pack.
Kangwoo drank a cold beer with the power of ice and looked around.
Let’s hear what you’re talking about.
Listen to the conversation.
ugh did you hear that I heard that the tax will rise again from next year.
Damn Viscount Belen is crazy! Even if it’s not like that, it’s not like an empire…
Ha. It’s hard to make a living, but to pay more taxes here.
Complaints are heard everywhere. Kangwoo focused on the conversation while waiting for the kimchi stew.
When you close your eyes and organize the information you hear through your ears in your head.
-Kwaaaang!!
quiet!! Everyone, put your hands on your head and get down on the floor!!” The
nine people who had just lodged here! Where are they! The
door was smashed and armored knights poured into the bar
. The man came in without hesitation.
Viscount Behlen, what’s going on here…
The boy serving the beer carefully asked with a pot in his hand.
The man called Viscount Belen frowned and looked at the boy Kick it with your foot.
Ah! Where does a commoner dare to answer
?
Viscount Belen trampled the head of the fallen boy with his foot, as if in displeasure.
Huh?
The man’s expression hardened. The pot the boy was holding. The red pot inside it. Colored liquid spilled onto the floor and splashed on his shoes. What
is this
food
waste
?
