Chapter 144 – 140 the Saint Farhists
= And…… I was surprised.=
Isilite puts her hand on her chest and lets out a small breath.
In Hwanin’s eyes, that figure looked as insignificant as a young lady from an aristocratic family.
‘It’s just a reaction to seeing the giant.’
=Looking at the ears, hair, and skin color, Fleur is right, but how is it that he is so massive…… I’m even a little envious.=
“… Well. Is that what it means as a warrior?”
=Yes. If the phase ability is the same, the one with the better physique will be superior.=
It is true that the giant from just now is far superior to Isilite in terms of combat specs. From the perspective of a warrior, Hwanin agreed, thinking that he could be envied.
However.
“I understand how you feel, but I like the way you look now.”
=…… !=
“Hmm. When I said it, it was an indecent remark. Sorry.”
= Oh, no, no…….=
Hwan-in, not knowing that the bomb had exploded on Isilite’s head and chest, touched her chin and stared in the direction where her giant body disappeared.
Without thinking for a long time, the giant met all the companions that Hwanin wanted.
Nucksal and affinity to talk to people he sees for the first time.
Now, little by little, her stance is starting to reveal her skills. Observation that sees through Isilite’s skills.
Not to mention the aura of level 5, maybe level 6, the equipment was also something that looked like magic. First of all, he has enough personality and skills.
Above all, the fact that he was a talented person who could play the role of a front line tanker was attracting Hwanin’s heart.
‘Expert Tournament…….’
Hwanin memorized the two words and went to the gathered children and said.
“If anyone is confident in the geography and local information of Farghist, please raise your hand.”
=What exactly do you mean by local information?=
A blonde haired girl with shiba dog ears raises her hand and asks in a loud voice.
“It is literally. It would be nice to know where there are certain buildings in the city, the location and history of shops, accommodations, and other characteristic buildings of the Farghists.”
=Farkhist is a very large place. So you probably don’t have friends who know the whole city well. We each work in one of the four districts. Here, the North Gate knows the area near the North Gate, the children of the West Gate know the area near the West Gate, and the children of the East Gate and South Gate know the area well.=
“Is that so?”
In response to Hwanin’s answer, the boy with the head of a black doggy pointed to the first girl and said,
=But Aruru probably knows best among them. She guides them by going around the north, south, east, west, and west. =
=But I’m not as professional as you guys are.=
=That traveler probably doesn’t want knowledge at the level of local residents. Right?=
“Yes.”
= Look. Do you think Aruru is the most suitable person? Traveler, just take him. If you’re going to go all over the Farghist, he’s probably the best among us.=
“Okay. Aruru, if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask for a guide. Would you like to come with me?”
= Yep. Guide will work hard!=
Hwanin shook hands with the girl whose height barely came near his stomach, and then handed the black-spotted puppy boy a tip from one fairy tale.
“Thank you for the advice. This is a tip.”
=Wow, thank you! You will be blessed, you will be better!=
Hearing that the boys and girls around him were envious of the spotted dog boy, Hwanin exchanged greetings with the dog-dog girl.
“I am Hwanin. This is Isilite, my travel companion.”
= Hello? Call it Isilite. I am the master’s servant and escort.=
= Hello! My name is Arurugu. I’m from the Farghist West. Thank you!=
Aruru, who showed the oak tree plaque hanging around her neck, bowed her back.
Hwanin had doubts about Aruru’s self-introduction.
You’re from the farhist ‘west’. Does it exist because the city is so large that it is close to the special city of Korea?
Does that mean there is regional discrimination in this city?
‘I don’t think it’s necessary to complicate things.’
Korean cities are divided into five levels of gu-eup-myeon-dong-ri and legal districts. There are many reasons, and address verification is one of them.
And in the cities of this world there is no such division of court consent.
It seems that there is a division of administrative dong, seeing that there is an administrative officer and that the residences of the nobles and nobles are separately determined, but I will not inform the general public.
In other words, from the west, east, north, or south, such rhetoric may literally indicate where you were born.
The former or the latter is not an important issue for Hwanin, who is no different from a wanderer at the moment. However, I think I might need it later, so I don’t erase it from my head and put it in one corner of my brain.
Quickly organizing his thoughts, Hwanin looked at Aruru again.
‘Not bad.’
Hwanin chose Aruru as his guide not because he was swept away by the story of the spotted puppy boy.
Aruru was the cleanest in dress and appearance among the thirteen gathered, but her shoes were more apart than anyone else’s.
If the leather shoes were about to break up that much, it means that she went around quite a bit. It is natural to assume that you know the city well.
After a brief greeting, Hwanin asked as he walked into the busy street.
“Aruru. How do guide contracts work?”
Aruru tilted her head and asked with a curious face.
=Is Hwanin from another city?=
“No.”
= I’m sorry. I asked because I heard that the elders often use contracts.=
Aruru, who first revealed the reason for her question, arrived at a place similar to Rotary after a short walk and stopped. She looked back at Hwanin and said,
=Our little guide doesn’t write a separate contract. I receive one fairy tale a day and guide you. I receive one fairy tale per day, but if I fill out the contract magic tool every time, the burden will go to the travelers, but then no one will want to hire a guide.=
Aruru’s smart answer made Issilite widen her eyes. Hwanin also nodded her head slightly.
“Okay. Then, is the guide information updated on a daily basis?”
=Usually, you get a guide for one day, and if you like it, you can pay for it for a few days in advance and hire it.=
The story that if you don’t make a reservation, you may be hired as someone else’s guide in the middle.
“Okay. Let’s ask for a guide for five days.”
= Yes? So right?=
“Yes. Long-term employment like this would be better than looking for travelers to hire Aruru-san every day.”
=That, that’s the case.=
“Since Isilite and I are not sightseeing, our schedule won’t be too crowded or complicated. Instead, if you have any questions about the city, I might ask you to do some research.”
Aruru, who thought for a moment, nodded her head.
=Yes. Then, from now on, please take good care of her for 5 days. =
“Here is Daegeum.”
When I take out 6 fairy tales from her inner pocket, Aruru immediately takes out 1 fairy tale from her and puts it up.
=You gave me 1 more!=
“That’s a tip.”
Wow, Aruru’s expression brightened. I couldn’t help but be happy that a day’s worth of tips came in.
Hwanin asked the girl with a bright smile to be her first guide.
“I would like to be guided to a place where we can stay. It would be nice to have a place like a pension where you can stay with these children, rather than a densely populated accommodation like a hotel.”
When Isilite pointed to the emergency rations and Kurti, who were holding reins in her hands, Aruru asked back with a slightly troubled face.
= Uh…… Phe, what is a pension? It’s the first word I’ve heard.=
“Well. Do you know the B&B?”
=Yes! During this time, most of the inns and mid-priced hotels are full, so many travelers use B&Bs. If you have a lot of money, you can stay in a luxury hotel, but there is a high possibility that even a luxury hotel will not have a regular room.=
“So I am looking for a pension. Pensions are generally referred to as private accommodation facilities with the convenience of a hotel in a building similar to a home like a guest house.”
= Ah! That’s what the warden said. There are some directors who have been asked to do so. Shall I guide you there?=
‘There are brokers in this world too.’
It can’t be where commerce exists. When Hwanin nodded her head slightly, Aruru took out a small notebook from her arms and asked.
=What level of director do you want, Hwanin-nim? The daily fee varies from 5 ten coins to 5 silver coins. For manors that are more expensive and more luxurious than that, you need to go to the administrator and get an introduction.=
“How about the level of the small intestine of about 1 silver coin?”
Upon receiving her question, Aruru looked around her and pointed to a two-story building with wooden exteriors and brick walls and interiors.
=It is a building of that size with a small garden.=
“I want to see you. Could you please guide me?”
= Yep! Come this way!=
The place that Aruru guided me was not a store manager, but a store similar to an authorized brokerage office.
= Shilen’s older sister. I brought a guest.=
= Huh? Ho ho ho. Aruru makes her aunt laugh every time she comes. =
A woman in her thirties who has gained a bit of weight and feels voluptuous smiles and strokes Aruru’s hair. She looked at Hwanin and Isilite once and then slightly bowed to Hwanin.
=Welcome to Shilen Bokdeokbang, guest. Well! Wait. I will guess what the customer wants.=
Hwanin, who was about to open her mouth, closed her mouth again and looked at Shilen.
=If you see that you came with Aruru, you must have hired that child, right? She must have just come to Farghest, and if it were me, she would have guided me to an empty hotel or inn, but she came to visit me instead because she wants a quiet inn where she can rest comfortably without noise, right? =
= Shilen’s older sister. Wrong =
=Uh, huh?=
=Hwanin-nim wanted a manager. It’s at the level of one silver coin per day and comes with a garden. The yellow roof house in the manor village to the northwest is still empty, right? Please guide me there.=
Shilen slightly puffed out her cheeks at Aruru’s bold request.
= Anyone who sees it will know that you are the owner of Bokdeokbang?=
= Hwanin-nim is someone who doesn’t like such lip service or long words. When her older sister starts talking about her favorite things, Hwanin-nim will go away. =
=What do you mean I like to chat?=
Seeing Shilen roll her eyes as if she were smiling at her, Hwanin suddenly remembered her memories in Korea.
Because the look she opened her eyes on was very similar to that of a famous Japanese gravure idol.
She was a Hwanin who had no interest in her, but she was a Hwanin who remembered her because her juniors once made a fuss about a Japanese gravure idol appearing in a magazine called Maxim, and she even brought the magazine to the company.
‘The name…… Was it a child?’
=Sister, hurry up.=
=Okay, okay.=
She raised her hand as if at Aruru’s urging, and Shilen grabbed her coat and said with a bashful smile as if her eye smile had become a habit.
= Then shall we go? The Sojangwon Aruru mentioned is one of the best places I have. You will be satisfied when you see it.=
“Please.”
Just as Aruru said that she likes to chat, Shilen walks with her phantom and tells her stories about Farhists.
It is said that the current lord of the castle, Fenri Justio Parchist, is praised as a saint among the previous castle lords.
It is making the city a better place to live by providing jobs to the poor and common people while carrying out urban maintenance and urban development projects simultaneously.
In addition, Hwanin was a little amazed at the story that the annual grand festival was planned and pushed forward by the present Parghist castle lord when he was young, and now, 30 years later, it is counted as the best festival in the central region of Radsea.
‘If all of that is true, he’s one of the most famous monarchs of the era close to the Middle Ages.’
In this era, the festival has many meanings.
It is a pride that we live well enough to hold a festival like this every year.
When the festival is held, even if it is temporary, the satisfaction and happiness of the citizens increase and the dissatisfaction and complaints decrease.
Around the time of the great Farghist festival, the market economy is revitalized with the money spent by travelers, and talent discovery projects are also conducted through tournaments during the great festival.
It means that there is nothing to lose by holding the festival if you can handle the financial loss.
‘But there are few leaders or monarchs like that. Especially in the Middle Ages.’
Just look at Wayford. There is nothing like a festival except for the March of the Spirits, which is said to be held everywhere in the world on a leap day that comes back once every four years.
It is common to think that people should pay taxes by working during the festival time.
And Hwanin noticed that Shilen was not instigated by propaganda, but was telling the truth.
All over the streets, reminiscent of a rural English village that might appear on a picture postcard, are under construction to make it more livable.
I saw Roman-style road pavement being done in several places, and in places where I thought something was empty, roadside trees were planted, and there were also places where new houses were being erected in vacant lots.
In addition, there are people who are preparing to set up stalls, whether it is preparations for the festival in a month or so, or who have already opened stalls in front of their houses to sell something.
Like Hwanin himself, travelers from other places are also noticed here and there.
‘If I were to decide where to live, it would be a place like this.’
Farkhist was a city with a sense of openness as a whole.
All buildings are either 1st or 2nd floor. There were occasional 3-story buildings on the shopping street that I passed on my way here, but the average is 1.5 stories.
In addition, the building is brightly colored, and even if you raise your head a little, you can see the blue sky.
It’s nice to live in, spacious and people are bright. Seongju cares a lot about the city and the economy seems to grow in the future, so it will be a better place to live in the future.
The party came into a landscape that felt far away from the downtown area.
A place like a pension street. The houses are spacious and each house has a large or small garden attached to it. Not many people come and go.
= Guest? Here =
And Shilen led them to one of those houses.
The building that caught my eye was not a small garden, but an antique and elegant house in a rural European city.
The structure of the house was simple.
The peculiarity is that the exterior is a brick house, but the inside is a house built in the half-timber style of medieval Europe in the 12th century.
The house has two floors, with a bathroom, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, utility room, and storage on the first floor, and three rooms on the second floor.
There is a rooftop, so you can hang laundry, and in the backyard, there is a small cage that holds about three Que and a lawn garden of about 40 pyeong.
= The inside is also tidy. The garden is also clean and sunny, as if it was well-groomed.=
After taking a look around her home, Isilite came down to her first-floor living room and was delighted.
The wall of the house is a gray wall that has not been stained with dirt, and a dark brown tree crosses the plastered wall and acts as an axis.
It was also nice to have a large living room with a long table when you open the front door. Because it was a good place to stay for emergency food and eat here.
It was nice that there was a door on the opposite side of the front door leading to the backyard garden, and although the thickness was bumpy and not cracked, it was also nice that the window had a glass window so that the sun could shine brightly inside.
The floor is a hard stone floor with wide stones laid flat, so it doesn’t get dusty even when emergency food goes around, and basic furniture – sofa, table, chair, bed, and cabinet are properly equipped.
You have to buy tableware separately, but even by Hwanin’s standards, it’s a much better house than a regular pension.
=There are a few more wardens nearby, so if you don’t like them, please let me know. It’s a place where there is a difference of about 1-2 coins.=
“Would you like to show me the other house?”
Anyway, now the sun is setting. Too late to do other things.
After touring three more places, Hwanin chose the first house he visited and signed a short-term rental contract.
“I like the first warden.”
=Is it right? I thought it was okay because two people use it.=
The other place is a little wider, but it feels a bit burnt and worn out, the garden is not properly maintained and smells strange, or it is too wide and big for two people to stay.
After confirming the terms of the contract, Hwanin put his seal on the magic tool and stamped it, then paid 10 silver coins for a 10-day rental fee and 1 gold coin as a deposit.
“I would like to stay for about 50 days or more, but I will stay for about 10 days and then decide whether to extend or move.”
= If you have any inconvenience, please tell me at any time. I’ll take care of your convenience.=
When she was told that she was planning to stay for more than 50 days, Shilen bowed her head in the utmost respect and went back.
And as soon as Shilen passed away, she said in a tone that she regretted Aruru.
=50 silver screen You can buy a small house on the outskirts of the city. If you have any idea, I can find out.=
“It’s okay. It is a schedule that you do not know when you will return if you leave Farkhist after the festival.”
Even if you buy a house, the house that has been vacant for a long time without an owner is retrieved from the administrator.
However, having a manager in a small house like a studio is bigger than the stomach. It is impossible to rent such a small house.
After unpacking her luggage on the second floor, Hwanin took a look at Isilite coming downstairs and said to Aruru.
“Tomorrow, I want to get information about the Expert Tournament. Things like where it’s held, when it’s held, and whether you’re eligible to participate. May I ask you a favor?”
= You mean the Expert Tournament? I’ll find out and come tomorrow around 10 am!=
As she nodded in agreement, Aruru bowed her head and tried to leave the house. Isilite, who caught Aruru like that, looked back at her phantom and asked.
= Master. Would it be okay if I bought some food for dinner at the market over there? Aruru too.=
= Huh? No! My mom and younger siblings are waiting for me at home. Thank you, but I will decline today.=
Hwanin glanced at Aruru, who hurriedly waved her hand, and bounced 1 gold coin at Isilite.
“Starting tomorrow, Aruru-san, make sure to prepare enough meals for us to eat together.”
= Yep. Aruru? Starting tomorrow, we’ll have dinner. =
=Yes, sister!=
Aruru tried to hide her joy and bowed first to Hwanin and then to Isilite.
If you reduce your mouth by one at her house, the cost of food is reduced by that amount.
Also, they give tips per day, and since they are staying for over 50 days in such a nice house, they might give you more tips if you work hard.
Thinking so, it was Aruru who clenched her small fist.
