Chapter 206: Harthol City (3)
As they continued along the road, they eventually came upon a sizable village, enclosed by stone walls. Since this was the perfect opportunity to test the Ralphon translation necklace, Serati volunteered. "I'll go buy the supplies this time."
Karnak decided to accompany her, just in case. "If the conversation gets messed up, someone needs to be there to translate, right?"
It didn’t necessarily have to be Karnak, since everyone in the group understood Ralphon. But Karnak had another reason for tagging along. The translation necklace was powered by necromancy. If something went wrong, he needed to be there to erase any traces.
After parking the carriage near the village entrance, the two of them set off.
For some reason, Lapicel waved at them with a delighted expression. "Have a nice trip, you two!"

For a rural settlement, the village was relatively lively. Karnak and Serati weaved through the passing crowds and made their way to a grocery store.
The moment they stepped inside, a deep voice welcomed them. "Welcome! You must be travelers."
The shopkeeper was a stout man in his late forties. He continued in a friendly tone, "Welcome to Maz Village! How can I help you?"
The necromantic translation necklace processed his Ralphon speech into Isola and delivered the meaning to Serati.
After understanding his words, she hesitantly replied, "Can you recommend this village’s specialties?"
Her pronunciation wasn't great, but it was understandable. The conversation flowed smoothly, and soon enough, they had purchased fresh fruit, vegetables, and bread before leaving the shop.
