"What the heck is going on here?!" The reaction of the group of men that appeared was alone enough to convince Fen that while they had nothing to do with the real city guard, there was a slight chance that clashing with them would end up even more disastrous than doing so with the real deal! From how their hands tightly held the grips of their weapons, it was clear that this bunch would press for the confrontation. Sadly, with the mob from before blocking his way out and the new potential enemies…-

In just a few moments, Fen was sent back to the other queue, reaching almost all the way to the first major turning point of the main street. Looking to the front, the speed at which the line moved forward made the young man wonder whether the would even manage to reach it before the night. At the very least, Fen never intended to go through the thorough checking process. The young man perfectly aware of how brittle his disguise was. In fact, save for clothes, he didn't even change his general…

"Liquid metal? Sure, we have some, but I can't really go much lower with the current price. Recently, there was a boom of people stocking on it, so I would advise you to be cautious when investing in it." Instead of going for the potentially best place to obtain this popular product, Fen decided that checking the closest shop that the guards pointed him at first would be a better idea. Even if he wouldn't end up buying anything, the young man could use this opportunity to learn a bit more about the local…

"Thanks for your generosity, young sir." Bending his back nearly in half, the old man expressed his gratitude to his young client. But all the nice impression that this act could make was destroyed by how swiftly the coachman hid the additional silver coin into his pockets. "It's okay. To be quite honest, back when I started my journey, I didn't really plan ahead a lot. You could say that I just followed my heart just like everyone always advised me to do so… And I ended up knowing nearly nothing…

Given all of Fen's anticipation connected to what he thought the city of Brikaz would look like, when its walls finally emerged from beyond the line of the horizon, only a single word could accurately describe it. Disappointment. 'Isn't it's layout roughly… the same as in Akhaz?' Thanks to the relatively higher position of the coach when compared to a huge plain on which the city sprawled, Fen could scan its entire shape, as if it didn't have its walls in the first place. At this point, the young man…

"Seriously, you don't know how to be grateful." Resting his back against the hard wooden side of the vehicle, Fen listened to the ongoing conversation between two men. First one of them, was the coachman himself, the owner of a small enterprise solely focused on transporting people in the local area. From how his entire self spread the atmosphere of complete leisure, one could tell that he was a man of his trade. "What's there is to be grateful about? Didn't you say that yourself? About the Kingdom's…

Excluding the part when Fen had to insist on one of the Inn's servants leaving his bed unattended through the night, he had to right to complain about his sleep. After cleansing himself from all the sweat and dirt that this young man accumulated over his recent, long journey and dealing with the insistence of the young girl that looked to make some money, Fen finally had a proper rest. Sleeping in a real bed instead of a pile of leaves or even some tree's branch made the young man extremely energetic.…

The city of Araram was the first semblance of an advanced civilisation that Fen saw ever since leaving Akhaz. All the supply points beside the road could be considered to be more of a local trading place than real settlement, operating on an entirely different set of rules than a proper city like the one spanning before Fen's eyes right now. Obviously, some of the marks of the region attached itself to the town itself. Instead of being completely enveloped by the walls like Akhaz to the south, only the…

"For that… I can give you up to seven silvers." If it was two weeks younger Fen, then he might've accepted the offer. Seven silvers? That amount of money was more than enough for him to live safely for nearly two months! But this wasn't the first time that the young arcanist, now dressed in self-made hunter's clothes, was meeting with the merchants on this road. "Eleven silvers. Take it or leave it. I have several other interested. Stop wasting my time." For someone foreign to the situation, this…

"How… How did you know?" Looking at the huge crowd of the beings that he would initially call monsters, Fen's attention quickly returned right back on the queen. No matter how depressingly insane this small army was, Raksha still managed to overshadow it with her face alone. Dressed in a strange suit, completely see-through and frail on one side, but surprisingly toned, beautiful and haste on the other, only Queen's body presented itself to the world. But her figure alone was more than enough to…
