Chapter 16: Exploring & Adventurer’s Guild
Inigo and Garrick walked out of the room with Inigo closing the door behind him.
"Inigo," Garrick spoke. "Just as the guard says, you are free to roam around the capital for an hour. You have to return here after that time as you will be given an identification."
"You're not coming with me?" Inigo asked, glancing at him.
Garrick shook his head. "I am in no mood to walk around the capital. I will just stay here and wait. If you have any questions about the town, you can simply ask the locals."
Inigo nodded. "Understood, sir. I'll be back shortly."
With that, he stepped out onto the main street, and the full scale of the capital finally unfolded before him.
Elandra was, in a word, majestic.
The streets were immaculately clean—white cobblestone tiles polished smooth from years of use, laid out in perfect, symmetrical grids. There wasn't a hint of garbage anywhere. The air smelled of fresh bread, spices, and a trace of lavender from the flowerbeds arranged in brass planters along the avenues.
He glanced up and was awestruck by the architecture. Towering stone buildings lined the roads, a mix of medieval charm and neoclassical elegance. Ornate columns, wide archways, wrought-iron balconies with blooming flowers—each structure looked like it belonged on a postcard. The roofs were tiled in deep blue or red, contrasting with the pale walls that glowed softly under the morning sun.
Elandra didn't feel like a city out of a game.
It felt real.
