Chapter 89: Chapter 89

After passing through one of the city’s squares that was filled with entertainers, Lucas led their carriage to another street. The street was filled with restaurants and taverns that catered to regular folks.

“Where are the café filled with nobles?” Anna asked.

“It’s in the inner city. The ruler is in the castle located in the middle of the city. Then the nobles in their mansions and villas surrounding the castle, then the rich merchants in their huge houses, then the regular citizens. We will stay at an inn located where the regular citizens constructed their houses and businesses,” Nemina answered.

“Can we stay somewhere richer?” Anna asked.

“We can but it’s a waste of coins. We will only stay here for a week at most and continue our journey to the city of Ruandelle,” Anders answered his daughter.

“Are there wizards here? Maybe we can hire a tutor for Anna and myself?” Anton asked.

The question baffled Nemina and Lunelle so Anton answered their unspoken question.

“My magic is different from a regular wizard’s magic. I don’t even know how the other wizards cast spells. We received some spell books during our battles, and we wanted to learn how to use them.”

“There should be some wizards here, but I don’t know if we could find someone who would travel with us and tutor you and Anna, but they should be staying near the middle zone of the city,” Nemina said.

Everyone inside the carriage felt the carriage stop and when they looked outside, they saw that they were in front of an inn. The inn’s sign said it was called The Roaring Lion which made Anton startled. The name of the inn was so cliché that he was certain that he should be able to find an inn with the same name in every city.

Anton saw that Colin followed the stable hands to the inn’s stable to make sure that the horses would be treated all right after their belongings were brought down from the carriage by the inn’s attendants.

Inside the inn, Anton saw Lucas and Anders talking to the innkeeper and after a while, the attendants brought all of their belongings to the second floor.

Anton went to where his Father and Lucas were, and Anders turned to him.

“We rented a suite which was half of the second floor. It consisted of four rooms and a main hall. The master bedroom is for me and you, one room for Lunelle and Anna, one room for Lucas and Nemina, and one room for Devon and Colin. There’s also a huge bathroom in the suite with us so we don’t have to leave the room to take a bath. Let’s go and look at it. Our lunch will be delivered to us.”

“Did it cost a lot of coins Father?”

“It did cost a pretty penny, but we should earn a ton once we sell all of the things that we had gotten from the villages.”

They all went to the suite that they rented and when they entered it, Anton was surprised at the simple elegance of the suite. The main hall was decorated simply but elegantly. There was a table that they could use for dining since it was huge surrounded by chairs and a couch they could use to rest.

There was a table that could be used as an office table and the hall’s space was big enough that all of their chests didn’t even occupy one-fourth of the floor. Of course, the chest only consisted of the ones that Anton retrieved from his private stash to show the city guards. There were more so he retrieved all of them from his Private Stash in the game and the hall was suddenly filled to the brim.

There was still enough space for them to navigate the suite so it was okay, and it would be easier for Anders, Nemina, and Lucas to check all of the items and sell them off.

“Brother you ninny, the inn’s servers are coming to serve us our lunch. They would wonder where all the things came from,” Anna said.

“I don’t care. Let them wonder,” Anton retorted.

“It’s okay Anna. The inn’s attendants in a city were trained not to question things that some of the customers were doing especially if it's not particularly illegal,” Lucas said.

Anton went to the master’s bedroom and the bed was huge. The window was large enough and a nice breeze was flowing from the outside. He cast a very mild Frost Nova and the room temperature had fallen to a state where it felt like it was air-conditioned. He knew that the effect of the spell would dissipate fast, but it felt nice.

Anders entered the room, and he could see his father’s surprise at the temperature.

“This feels nice. The food is already here. Come let’s eat.”

Anton followed his father and saw that everyone was waiting for them. The lunch that was served to them was equal to the food that the chef cooked for them in the last village. It was delicious and everyone was hungry.

After lunch, Anton turned to his father.

“Father, I’ll go and explore the city, is that okay? Do you need the coin purse with you?”

After thinking for a bit Anders nodded so Anton gave one of the coin purses filled with gold coins to his father.

“I want to explore the city too!” Anna said.

“No. You’re too young and you will need to help us with the equipment,” Anders told his daughter.

“Anton’s young too! He’s only seventeen years old. The city is too dangerous for him as well!”

Everyone laughed when they heard what Anna said and Anton’s sister blushed when she heard what she said.

“Do you want Devon to accompany you?” Anders asked.

“No father. I want to explore alone, and you can use all the help.”

“Yes, we could use all the help. Why are you running away to explore!” Anna shouted.

Everyone ignored Anna then Anton’s father began sorting out the equipment.

“Okay. Just be back before dark or we’ll get worried.”

Anton waved goodbye and ran downstairs. He was truly excited to explore the city. His only wish was that he had a spell to communicate with his family in an emergency, but he was not planning to go too far. He was returning to the square where all the entertainers were busking. He was interested in the forms of entertainment in this world and maybe he could find a gypsy mage that he could talk to and learn things from them.

He walked slowly enough so he could check the products that were being sold in the stores on the street where his inn was located, and he was glad that he didn’t have any language barrier that he had to cross.

There was a lot of street food as well but unfortunately, Anton had just eaten lunch so even though it all smelled delicious, he was too full to be too interested in eating.

Anton arrived in the square where the entertainers were located. He was impressed by how the entertainers placed themselves because no music or performances were interfering with their neighbors. He could see one bard performing on a raised platform and beside him were some acrobats performing their set. Besides the acrobats was someone performing a puppet show, then some gypsy dancers performing seductive dances.
