The Magic Of Skill
Chapter 26's
When I entered the district, I realized that the existence of the elf boy was too eye-catching. Not wanting any more complicated problems, I immediately pulled her into Christa's carriage. Lennef, and the others who were inside were shocked when I brought another girl.
Put him next to Quine, then calm him down. “What's your name, son?”
“.. i.. Elliore.”.
“Elliore, beautiful name.” From the Inventory, I took a bag of diamonds and gave them to Quine. “I ask all of you who are here to help Elliore find a decent outfit.food, shelter or anything she wants with this diamond. Christa, you take them to the market. Me and the others will check the situation around first, do not wait for us.”
“Mr Walter. We don't have time for that.” Christa said half-screaming from the front of the carriage, she remained busy controlling her horse to move slowly.
“No, if anything happens it will definitely be finished. For now you go first.”
I got off the horse carriage, then gathered with the rest of my comrades.
Christa's horse-drawn carriage drove fast, leaving us who were walking leisurely. Varnella's in there, Quine's there, I shouldn't worry about them if something bad happens.
Proceed to our surveillance of the districts within the Imprasia Kingdom.
The word heaven may still be lacking to reflect the beauty of this city. No one sees a charming valley, a beautiful waterfall, or a soothing forest. What makes this city beautiful is its perfect architecture. All the buildings seem to be laid out with precision so that from any angle our perspective remains beautiful. Painted in colour, and almost all sparkling, the buildings here are like a rainbow.
The streets are very clean, the floors are polished so they look like luxurious marble. Everywhere clean, no stains, let alone a pile of garbage hidden near the corner. The shape of this district is conical, where each path seems to be led to rise to the top. And what was up there was a luxurious castle soaring into the sky.
Unlike the outer district, here is very crowded, people use luxurious clothes such as a suit and a cute high hat. Most likely what I call ‘people’ is a tourist with a human race. Because most of the population was dominated by the monster race. Sure, monsters with human form.
Don't be surprised when you fall in love at first sight with every woman passing by at the end of your eye. There were elves with pigtailed hair who were peddling flowers, there was a rabbit race serving a tavern, and many others.
If someone asks, what is the beauty of the monster race here with Lennef? Then I will answer more beautiful them. But with Florinas, Florinas is much more beautiful. Elves exist like angels, because they are pawns on the side of Gods.
“... aroma that makes the head dizzy, right?” ask Killifer.
“Yes, you're right. People like us don't deserve to be here.”
The scent of perfume that was so fragrant was smelled from all points, out of nowhere the scent came out. But I am sure that this is a fragrance that comes from a mixture of hair fragrances, clothes, flowers, and perfumes sellers.
“Master..it seems like a lot of people are watching me..” Florinas flew low, then hid behind my back. It was the first time I saw Florinas so scared. I'm trying to figure out roughly what makes this stubborn elf so inferior.
It turns out that it is the enemy of all women.
That is a male perverted gaze that can destroy a woman's self-esteem with only one attack. Just me, Killifer, and Neressy, the three most different men around here. When the average person has a fat body and wears fancy clothes, only the three of us are thin and use simple clothes. Although Neressy was wearing a uniform.
I wore a sweatshirt and a jacket, and a cheap sword that I hung on the belt around my waist. Killifer as usual, which is wearing a collared shirt that becomes tight because of his muscles. The strange thing was even Neressy, when he was the one who looked the most like a prince, but people seemed to hate him very much.
“Florinas, relax, are you sure you're afraid of them?”
“T-Of course not.. I'm not afraid to serve them. Whatever the amount, I'm not afraid.”
And for Florinas, he wore a thin sleeveless t-shirt, with a transparent scarf hanging around his neck. Perhaps of concern to many is the Florinas skirt that is so short, and also because the Florinas fly using small wings, but the problem is Florinas also uses socks that cover his legs up above the knee.
Are they interested in Florinas only from the face?
“Neressy, ,
it's disgusting, why are fat people like them here?” I said.
“.. it is like that. They are fools who overdo treasure, fill their stomachs with expensive food and decorate their bodies with quality clothes. They have a lot of money, Walter. You know what they do here.” Obviously Neressy.
“.. women's rentals.”
“Sometimes there are also those who meet his affair here. The average tourist who comes here all have a wife, they come here just to let go of lust.” Killifer's words connect with Neressy's explanation.
“Because that's why the average person like us who has a good body becomes a target, be careful when it's night, Walter. If you're off guard, there can be hundreds of women who worship you.”
This is not heaven, this is a rotten place filled with happiness.
“Call..” I activated the magic Call, and contacted Quine, “For a while you guys do not meet with us. Stay with Elliore at the inn, if the money is less tell me.”
“I understand, Mr. Walter.”
For a long time, we walked around without a conversation.
There were a lot of people we went through, and the pattern was always the same, the Florinas that men wooed and we the men that women seduced. Even for someone like me who had fallen in love with Holiana, it was difficult for cheap women like them to seduce me.
Not that this is a brothel district, just that the women are happy when close to men. I often see them receiving money when the man is entertained.
This is a district that will be occupied someday.
“By the way, Walter,.. What did you do to Nasaroth?” ask Neressy suddenly.
“.. just a little inter-group affair. Nothing to worry about.” My answer.
“I am not angry, after all even though in that country there is a civil war the impact will not reach Raverine. But you sure you didn't take over the country..? There are many resources, right?”
“Hmm.. I've sent people there.”
“... who?”
“.. Rose Strosford.”
“.. that's a name I've never heard of. Did I forget it?”
“No, chances are you don't know yet. Rose Strosford is Hile's mother, she is also a teacher at the royal magic academy. But even though I sent her, in fact Miss Rose will only manage from behind the shadows.” I clearly.
“You have also prepared people to lead Nasaroth?”
Hearing that, Neressy complained, “You are indeed a dangerous man. I can't believe it's that far you're thinking about it.”

Deep into the Imprasia, heaven will be felt more. Normal humans would definitely forget how bad the outer district was when they had already gotten to the front of the fountain. How beautiful and beautiful, a large fountain that eats land in the middle of the city, became the center of the turnaround in 4 roads, and certainly a mandatory place for painters to find the coffers of money from the results of the picture.
“For now, we find lodging first.” I said to the others.
“It's there!” Florinas pointed to a building that stood not far from us.
We immediately headed to the inn, considering that the hot day made normal men like us better sleep than teasing the girls half animals.
The name of the place was the Green Zanac inn, one of the many inns we chose to stay overnight. With a beautiful building design, and flower decoration in front of the entrance, makes anyone feel hypnotized to enter the Green Zanac.
“200 gold pieces for each room with two person mattress per night.” Receptionist.
The four of us looked at each other when we heard the price of such an expensive stay. In the Raverine, for an ordinary room only requires 30 silver coins, even with 10 gold coins you can already get a special room.
100 Bronze coins equals 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins equals 1 gold coin. While gems such as diamonds do not have a special price benchmark, because they are rare and difficult to form. But a piece of diamond is also quite expensive.
“Then I order 3 rooms for last night.”
“Alright, the cost is 600 pieces of gold.”
This receptionist is a girl, but I don't know which race she's from. To be sure he had wings along the length of the hand made of pure white bird feathers, the wings were shriveled with distinctive wrinkles like a dove. I doubt he is a bird race, does such a race exist? When I imagined that she had a beak, I lost my focus on seeing her sweet smile.
Before paying, I brought my face closer to the bird lady, “What is the average person here staying for last night?”
“No, they can stay for a week or a month.”
“Kutebak this inn has a special service. right? You must know what I mean.”
“Of course, all inns have that service. But sir, it's a pity that you can't hire me.”
Hearing that, I was immediately disgusted. Instead of lingering with him, I immediately took the gold from the Inventory. Instead of gold stored in the form of coins, I actually took out a chunk of pure gold as big as a buffalo head directly on the receptionist's desk. It clearly had a value that was far from 600 gold pieces.
His eyes widened when I saw the gold I lifted and I gave it to him. Before the bird lady said anything more, I immediately asked for the room key.
“24, 25, 26..”
“Thank you.”
We immediately headed upstairs, and rested there.

At night, when the sun was fully set, it was the moon and the stars that now gave us illumination. Imprasia shows its true face, which is a city that contains all worldly happiness. Women are what is sold in this city, but the pay is something not everyone can pay for.
Almost all the lights in the city lit up, beautifying the scene as I looked out the window from the second floor of the inn. Among the stars, the lamp clarified the activities of those below it.
Far more vicious and perverted, the inner district has now turned into a place full of seductive sexy girls. They all gathered on the streets in a cool sway, the fat rich men constantly reaching into their pockets in order to see the beautiful woman sway.
Lodging is also increasingly crowded, pink lights make romantic moments more felt. I don't want to know what they're doing in the lodge with those dim, loving lights.
I got a report from Quine that he and his entourage were fine. Elliore is good too. Now that they were staying the same as me, it seemed that the bag of diamonds was more than enough for their day trip.
“Master.. You don't want to drink?” florinas said in a staggering tone, he just downed a bottle of wine I bought for him for 30 gold coins, and it was already his second bottle. What a quality beer, with its pungent smell I thought twice about asking for a glass from Florinas. In fact, Florinas downed it all alone.
I booked three rooms, one for Florinas, and the other two for men. But my representative did not want to part with me at all, instead he made his own decision by insisting that the master and the servant should not be far apart.
“Florinas.. You drink too much.”
Suddenly Florinas hugged me from behind. From her breath there was a smell of wine that was so pungent, her body was extremely hot even though she was an ice fairy. “Master.. I love you.” Florinas said while chuckling.
“Yes, yes, I love you too. Hurry to sleep, I want to meet the king of this kingdom to carry out our mission!”
“.. Master want to leave alone?”
“Yes, I'd rather do it alone. In addition. if you come alone, the king has no reason to reject me.”
Hearing that, Florinas fell silent. “.. cheat.”
“I'm not messing around.”
“If I can't come, then I'll tell Lennef that Master slept with Holiana.” Florinas sulked, he deliberately pushed his lips forward like a child who wanted to cry. How uncanny this is my representative.
“What's the point of discussing Holiana now? Anyway sooner or later we'll know that it was just a misunderstanding.” I let go of Florinas' embrace, then walked towards the door.
Florinas blocking the door with his arms, “If I can't come, then Master will rape.”
“Not funny!! Oh, my God, don't threaten me. If you say it, it sounds like real.”
“If I can't—”
“Sleeper!”
“Fyuu.” Florinas fell on the floor. He fell asleep immediately when I activated Sleeper's magic. I couldn't bear to lift Florinas to bed. His light but stiff body forced me to lift Florinas like a sling of a princess. When I carried her, the drunken face said, “Master.
I threw Florinas' body into the bed. Then go leave him.
“.. I'll think of it.”
