There's Nothing Wrong Starting Life In Another World From Zero

Chapter 267: The Great Fortress of Ivielda

Two weeks have passed since Arthur's party lived in the village of Bougenville, they have developed many things that can help the population, in addition to making plantations outside the village, some residents can also eventually plant some plants in front of their homes.

All of that was the learning they had gained in the Academy, however they were candidates of the queen king recommended by Kazuya's servants.

Things to fight, grow crops, manners and ethics in their business can do without being constrained.

And now they have come to sell things like medicines and clothes made by the people here, the two people who are in charge of doing it are Arthur and Clara, while Luis and Pireta guard the village while the two are away.

About three carriages were prepared forming a small caravan, commonly used by merchants.

"Then we're gone."

"Be careful" said Paula, leading the group through the meadow and some forest until they arrived at the city, which was called the Great Fortress of Ivielda.

The monster attacks occurred several times here, instead of the fortress being destroyed over a long period of time the fortress was even more sturdy with a height of over 70 meters, even if there was a Titan race in this world, he said, Arthur wasn't sure someone could break through.

The reason was simple, the wall was made of iron with a mixture of various components as a reinforcement, for Clara she knew very well how the wall was made.

"What do you think Clara?"

"All the mixtures there are well made, if not an Alchemist things like this will not be able to be made... but to me this is too much as if they were trying to survive something so powerful."

"If I were to conclude that the enemy they were fighting was almost about 65 meters tall."

"Truely, usually people make walls as high as what they fight."

The coachman in charge of carrying the carriage said towards the two.

"We've arrived."

"Well, let me take care of it."

Arthur got out of the carriage and spoke to the guards, they did intend to sell the goods, although once they were still not registered in the merchant guild therefore, the negotiations should be able to be done as well as possible.

"Heh, that's how you are from Bougenville village."

"We are trying to survive by selling our products, the plan is when inside we will register this caravan as an official merchant, so I beg to allow us to enter for this time only."

"How, it's also hard for us, you know, usually you have to have permission to sell something in a foreign place."

Previously people would send (temporarily) solicitations to the merchant guild until waiting for the reply paper, only then could they be allowed to enter the city to register.

"The rules here are too strict" Arthur thought to himself.

In this urgent situation they do not know when the reply letter will arrive or maybe worse than that, absolutely nothing. If so the village would not survive without money.

"What if this were the case, we intend to sell our merchandise in the city, if you allow us to enter we would pay the usual about 20 percent of our total revenue as a confirmation today, he said, besides next time we'll definitely have joined the merchant guild."

Arthur paused for a moment and continued.

"Not the number of traders is decreasing," this is only a guess that can be taken from Arthur's observation, with the activity of the monster that is more then the traders tend not to risk too much traveling to other cities.

If Arthur was a famous merchant he would definitely not have gone to the Fortress of Ivyelda far from the capital.

The face of the guard looked troubled until he finally went to ask his superior, shortly afterwards a man in a special uniform came to him.

The man had grayed hair and beard with a well-gloved sword on his waist.

"My name is Ladolfo Eginhardt, as the chief guard of this fortress, I accepted your offer, it has been a long time since I met an attractive young merchant."

He reached out to Arthur who was well received by him.

"Arthur Cronicle, an adventurer as well as a trader, although the matter of the merchant is not official."

Ladolfo laughed loudly.

"Such a passage is very easy" Ladolfo asked the guards to bring an important letter.

"Give this to someone in the merchant guild then you will be welcomed by them."

"Thank you, next time let's have tea together."

"Of course, you can invite me anytime."

It was easy that they could finally enter the fortress.
