Land: The Chronicles

Chapter 7: The First City

Once again I spewed out my entrails, I stood staggered, my legs also unable to properly support my body.

Damn, teleportation is really so bad, it feels like my whole body is being stirred up because of a speed that is completely unimaginable.

It was as if there was a part of my body left behind where the Ego activated teleportation.

“How? Transportation is very easy and fast, right?”

“I have to admit it is so, but this is not recommended for pregnant women.” I vomited again. “You should have thought more about the condition of the passengers.”

“In the beginning it does feel like this, but after a few times doing it you will get used to.”

“Indeed you plan to make me experience this how many times?” I tried to hold back the vomit this time.

“As long as you're with me, you'll use this super-fast transportation whenever we're going to a new place. Not everyone can feel this in his life.”

“Saran sir. We recommend occasionally we travel conventionally, or if necessary do not use super fast transportation unless very urgent.”

Again I vomited, this time very much, it felt like all my stomach contents came out because of this.

Now I feel a little better. Maybe it was because the vomit was the last charge, but every time I remembered that teleportation moment, it felt like I was going to vomit again.

“Ah, can also. Enjoying the journey is also one of the most important parts of an adventure.” His ideal.

I nodded in agreement, I must keep my senses because my emotions no longer work. If both of them die, I don't know what kind of person I will be. Being with the ego is very dangerous for one's common sense.

After resting for a while, I finally recovered although not completely. The two of us then began to walk along a path that, according to Ego, was a route to a town in one of the Orthras.

We put the skin of the bear in a cart that Ego made instantly, he cut the tree with his dagger like he was cutting butter. Then somehow, he managed to assemble a wooden wagon.

This wagon is very helpful, because it would be very tiring if you have to carry a strip of Belang Bears skin as high as two adults, besides this trip will take a very long time because I have to always stop because of fatigue.

From a distance, I finally saw a city surrounded by fortresses. This city was truly the territory of Orthras, as a giant banner was attached to the side of the city gate with the emblem of the Kingdom of Orthras.

Plus, the fort looks more fragile when compared to the city walls of Iria, so it is clear that the wall was not built to the Arakaza standard.

At the gate of the fortress was a checkpoint guarded by dozens of Soldiers, even I saw some Orthras Knights among them, something was wrong.

“Ah, true too. Arion, you wear this in your eyes.” The ego gave me a small box of two concave-shaped objects inside.

“What is this?”

“Tools for changing eye color, you have no lines around your eyes, while your eyes are Arakaza race eyes. I don't want to attract attention because of that.”

This guy has a point, to be honest, I also think that way. But who would have thought besides having so many strange abilities, he also carried even more bizarre items.

“How to use it?”

“Easy, just put it in your eyes.”

I followed him and put the two concave objects into my eyes, a little sore at first, but it didn't last long.

“How?” I showed my eyes to Ego.

“Perfect, green color is more suitable for you.” He's giving a thumbs up.

In this way, I don't have to worry about attracting the attention of many people.

We reached the city gate and immediately entered the check queue, a Soldier who checked the queue opened the cover of our wagon, he was silent for a moment then frantically ran towards the Knight who was inside the post.

“Good day, we want to make sure the contents of your cart, do not mind?” One of the Knights saluted.

“Please, but the contents of this wagon are just a piece of striped Bear skin.” Limpal Ego with ease.

The Knights and Soldiers looked at each other, then one of the Knights took the bear skin from the wagon and held it on the ground.

Stifled cries rang out from the queue, followed by whispers in a slightly panicked tone from them, the Knights and Soldiers stared at each other.

“Did you two get this skin?” The knight who greeted us gave us a question.

“True once sir, is there a problem?” Answer Ego .

“You didn't find it dead?” Next question.

“Yeah, why don't you guys just feel how fresh the skin is.” The ego pretends to be protesting. Very good acting.

The officers looked back at each other, then the three Knights discussed with each other while the five Soldiers stood watching us.

“You are allowed to enter the city, on condition, three Soldiers must escort you.” Say one of the Knights.

A Soldier took the leather that was held on the ground and rolled it as before, then he put it in a cart.

“Whatever, I just want to go to the auction anyway. Let's go”. Ego waved his hand at me.

The three Warriors escorted us as the Knights had said, we were very eye-catching upon entering the city. Ego says he doesn't want to attract unnecessary attention.

“Why didn't you do something to that skin earlier?” I asked with the Arakaza language, these Orthras Soldiers will not understand it.

“You mean by hiding it better so?”

“Ya.”

“There's no particular reason, just that I'm gonna".

“Then, why did the officers at the gate allow a suspicious person like you to enter the city? Doesn't saying you killed the bear mean you said you were strong?”

“Entahlah". Answer is short

We finally reached a building located in the center of the city, one of the Soldiers spoke to the receptionist while pointing at the wagon I pulled. The receptionist looked surprised, then he directed us to put the cart in the sorting warehouse.

“Security of this item will we guarantee completely, the damage that occurs after inspection will be our full responsibility, if this item is lost, then we will bear the full cost.”

Someone who seemed to have quite a high position in this place came to me and Ego in the sorting warehouse and said so.

“Alright, when will the auction start?” ask Ego.

“You plan to auction it soon?” the person who looked like the manager asked back.

“Yes, I do not plan to stay for a long time in this city.”

“We will check this item right now, you can use the room we provide for guests. This kid can wait here.”

“No, this child will be with me while waiting for the upcoming auction". Ego Saying

The manager smiled too. “If so, then enjoy your time.”
