Chapter 56
"Alright, here are your temporary City Passes. Bring them to a guard station when you have obtained some of your own to get back the silvers you just used. And don’t go rowing this late at night. We were thinking that one of those freaky fishes had penetrated the barrier. Got that?" - Guard
"...Yes." - Garami
W-what a pain...
After paying the guard 1 silver each, we obtained a wooden card inscribed with some sort of runes.
It’s the dawn of a new day, but to start the first day in my civilized life with a scolding is damping my enthusiasm...
We did manage to reach the city of Velantas without any problems, but the guards started making a fuss over us due to appearing waaaaayyyyy too early in the morning. I’m not saying that they’re wrong, but seriously, cut a demon some slack...
"You should look into a mirror. That face you’re making now is worth a hundred of those temporary City Passes." - Gust
"Shut it!" is not what I’m gonna say to him, cause I’m too busy taking in the scenery. Where’s an Omni-sight skill when you need it?
The city’s located in the middle of the Lake and consists of seven towers. Six of them and their bridges make a circle around the seventh and final tower... I think. All the six circle-towers are as big as a small city on their own, with all the bridges and floors added to the equation.
In other words, they’re too big to see the whole city! I only know this since I spent most of the time being scolded by the guard to remember the map over the city there.
But still, this place’s fantastic! I was expecting something like Venezia, but this is more like a space colony on Earth. Or rather, with how the towers shrink in width the higher they go, the bridges on the higher levels remind me of those terraces used by the Incas for their agriculture.
