《Did she already know what I would ask her for?》Ch 3: Entering the capital
Advertisement
'This is the third day of travel. I would have liked everything to be as calm as yesterday, but life is a labyrinth, you don't know what could happen to you around the corner.'
'[Giant Mantis Lvl 1]'
'As I drove the carriage, in front of me a monster suddenly appeared. This is a 2m tall mantis whose front legs are incredibly sharp.'
'I immediately stopped the carriage to prevent the horses from being killed.'
'"The first battle on my journey to being a knight, huh?"'
'Sighing, I got down from the carriage and drew my sword whereupon the mantis swung its paws in a warning.'
'"I'm sorry but... My parents are scarier"'
'[Why do you swing the sword like that? Are you dumb?] *Hit*'
'[Haa? not like that Emir] *Throw*'
'Traumatic memories come to mind when I think about my parents' training. While my father hit me on the head, my mother pulled my ears. What a great childhood I had…'
'When I was 2 meters from it, the mantis began to run in my direction, raising its leg and trying to cut off my head.'
'I ducked, avoiding the attack. And, quickly, I used the strength in my legs to jump in its direction. My sword plunged into the center of its chest.'
'The mantis screeched in pain and reached its paws towards me trying to hug me. The word hug sounds affectionate but you have to remember those sharp paws like scythes. If it ever presses me against them I will be cut in two.'
'I jumped to the left and saw its paw pass just a few inches from my head.'
'Is this the advantage of 13 points in luck?'
'I see why my parents were so happy to send me away from home, perhaps they thought I would see the world as entertainingly as they did. Anyone would have fun with 50 points in luck…'
'Taking advantage of the fact that the sharp blades of its legs are very close to it, I jumped towards them and using them as a springboard I jumped towards his head.'
'With a swing of my sword, its head flew into the air.'
'For a few seconds, the mantis kept moving swinging its legs in all directions as if trying to carry me to death with it.'
'Once it fell, it was surrounded by light particles and disappeared into thin air.'
'[thin blade]'

'"As loot, I got a thin blade, huh?"'
'I wonder if this blade is the same as its scythes, so sharp that it can cut through steel if you give it the chance. Unfortunately, the loot is far from that quality, it takes at least 10 thin blades to match the edge of one of its legs.'
'"It will sell well"'
'Without discrimination, I took the loot and threw it into the carriage. Money is money after all.'
'Once I got into the carriage, I ordered the horses to continue their march. I thought about continuing like this for the whole trip but then…'
'[Emir] [Driver Lvl 2] [Survivor Lvl 1]'
'[You have a free point]'
'Driver leveled up and got a point as a reward?'
'I indeed changed driver to first class just to avoid trouble if someone came to see my status, but unexpectedly, it leveled up.'
'"How strange…" After thinking for a bit, I understood the reason for this "Protecting the carriage can be one of the situations that give the driver class the most experience"'
'This conclusion makes a lot of sense. In this world where monsters appear from time to time on the roads, someone needs to take care of them.'
'Even so, I was hoping to get the adventurer class… Haa, I might get it when I enter a labyrinth. Even when I checked the classes window, they are still the same as yesterday.'
'[Agility=10]'
'I added the point to agility.'
'If it wasn't for luck that leg would have cut my head off. The best option I currently have is to get my agility back to normal, so I'm sure that I can avoid it better next time.'
'***'
'[thin blade]'
'[thin blade]'
'The fourth and last day of travel.'
'During all this journey I was only able to kill three giant mantises, thus obtaining 3 thin blades in total. Once I enter the capital I will sell them.'
'The capital, Altamira, is already visible from here. I can see those high concrete walls blocking the entrance to monsters and enemies. On my left and right side, it is possible to see countless crops, whether they are fruit, vegetables, or anything else. The most important quality in them is that they seem endless.'
'"Stop there!! To pass you need to pay 5 copper coins and verify your identity" A guard stopped me before the great gates of the capital.'

'"Understood. Here you have the 5 copper coins"'
'In his hand, he has an identification object that, when it touches a person, shows the name, class, and level of the target.'
'[Emir Lvl 15] [Class: None]'
'In front of me a window appeared, very similar to my user interface but the biggest difference is that it showed very little information about my status. Perhaps my user interface was created based on such things?'
'"Identity checked, forward. you may pass"'
'"Thanks"'
'"Uff"'
'Once I got through the gate I re-activated the Driver Lvl 2 and Survivor Lvl 1 classes.'
'From this experience, I can assure you two things. The first is that the id object only shows the active class. All hidden classes will remain invisible to it. The second is that despite all those strange symbols that the identification showed, none of them have anything to do with my state.'
'In other words, I can modify the attributes as I please and no one will notice!'
'"Hahaha"'
'I know, I know. Playing with the UI will at some point rot me.'
'With an evil laugh, I led the horses through the wide streets of the capital.'
'On the way, I could see the diversity of races. Dwarf elven beast-men…'
'Is anyone heading to Denir City?'
'"Here. How much is it?"'
'"2 silver coins"'
'[Alan] [Traveler Lvl 7] [Affiliation: Castemira Kingdom]'
'[(Trip Prohibited to Criminal Classes)]'
'The traveler Alan cast his teleportation magic and then, an illusory door appeared in front of him. Together with his client, they both passed through the door and disappeared from the place without a trace.'
'This happened in full view and patience of everyone in the central square.'
'"Although I heard it from my parents, it's the first time I've seen it in person"'
'The Traveler class, although not rare, is very difficult to obtain. Saying that fulfilling their conditions drives some people crazy. The special thing about this class is the magic they get, that is [Space Travel].'
'With [Space Travel] they can teleport miles away in just a second. It's so special that each of them has an [Affiliation] which restricts the passengers they can teleport.'
'In this case, you have (Travel Prohibited Criminal Classes) in your state. It is said that in times of war (No travel to enemy kingdoms) is added. The reason it’s obvious. If the [Traveler] carries the enemies to your back, the outer walls are practically useless.'
'I came to myself when the carriage left the central square and came to a small castle.'
'[Knight Order] [Castemira Kingdom]'
'I know UI. You don't need to show a window on the billboard.'
'Shaking my head, I got off the carriage with two sacks in my hands and went to a small house next to the castle.'
'"On the journey from Dominir village to here, we were attacked by robbers... My companions were all killed, I am the only survivor." I put the two sacks on the table and showed them to the [Knight] in front of me.'
'I explained everything that happened. Even when my memories are vague, I can deduce what the passengers' fight with the thieves was like.'
'"I see…"'
'The gentleman didn't ask too many questions, perhaps feeling sorry for me, or he is simply used to such occurrences and doesn't require more information.'
'"Before giving you the reward for the thieves it is necessary to verify your identity"'
'"It's OK, go ahead"'
'After touching the identification magic item, he verified that my state did not possess any criminal class and then nodded.'
'"All in order... Thieves below level 10 have a bounty of one silver coin while those between levels 11 and 20 have 5 silver coins on their heads-... How unexpected there is a remnant with level 32. Those between 31 and 40 have 2 to 4 gold coins on their head, according to their crimes"'
'The gentleman continued "This one, in particular, has committed a lot of crimes for which his bounty is 2 gold coins... In total, the reward is 12 gold coins and 5 silver coins"'
'Emir: "!!!"'
'that much?!'
'It should be noted that 10 copper coins are equivalent to a silver coin, 10 silver coins to a gold coin, and 100 gold coins to a white gold coin. Even among nobles, it's rare to see a white gold coin and yet I have 1/10 of a white gold coin!'
'If I dedicate myself to hunting thieves, will I be able to have a white gold coin in my hand?'
'"As for the remnants of the deceased, these will be sent to their families"'
'"Thanks"'
'"Do you have any other business that needs my help?" The knight, seeing that I remained in the place, spoke to me. That’s timely.'
'"Yes, I want to take the knight test"'

He was an incredibly unmotivated individual who generally steered clear from other 'Homo sapiens' as he put it.
