E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 25 - Aegis Lake

After thinking about it for a moment, Dimas chose to walk towards the left. Whatever happens, he will continue down the river.

'Sreeett!'

Dimas shined his sword back. Even now, the sword had been broken and only half was left.

Step by step He continues to take.

Unlike what happens when in the mountains, the snow around the forest and river is not too thick. It can even be said to be quite calm.

The view becomes much clearer than before.

The view of the frozen river looked so beautiful in Dimas' eyes. Every now and then, he saw a lot of fish frozen inside.

Although desperately wanting to eat it from starvation, Dimas chose not to.

"I'd rather eat a bone than a fish that's raw and fishy."

That's the reason for not trying to take the fish behind the thick ice. Although, his current hunger could still be held in good stead.

In his previous life, when on earth, Dimas had felt hunger that was no less bad. At least 3 days he ate nothing at all because his money had just been taken by debt collectors.

"Haha.... If you think back, my life has rotten since time immemorial huh?" Say Dimas to himself.

A few hours have passed. But Dimas still found no signs of civilization.

Even so, he did not feel discouraged at all. That was because the river that was followed by him at this moment was always next to him.

When viewed from the plains, it is likely that Dimas was away from the mountains and that was a good thing.

The tiredness in both of his legs was covered by this piercing cold. Dimas brushed aside all his thoughts to rest until he found a decent place.

Or at least a village.

Right after 3 hours of walking....

"Haha.... I got the jackpot." Said Dimas while smiling with satisfaction.

How not, in the distance, he saw a fairly large lake. It can even be said to be very large.

And on some sides of the lake, it looks a fairly dense residential settlement. Not as big as the size of a city, but much bigger than the size of a village.

Aegis Lake.

That's the name of the lake that has a very large size.

4 small towns stood beside the lake on each side, and everything was very well connected.

But just as the river was flowing towards him, the lake was also seen frozen. Although, it may only be a part of the top layer only.

With steady steps, Dimas immediately headed towards the small Town.

'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'

A wooden wall with a height of 8 meters more it stood firmly. Protecting entire communities from any danger.

While the back of the city is protected naturally by the existence of the Aegis lake itself.

In the distance, there is a tower that is quite high in the city center. Dimas himself currently does not know what the building is, but he can use it to determine the location in the middle of a crowded city.

'Saturray!'

As Dimas approached the gate, two guards blocked him with spears.

"wait. Whoareyou? What do you want here?"

Dimas didn't answer. Instead of paying attention to the surrounding area for a few moments.

'There are only 6 guards.... I could blow them up with all the sulfur leftover I had but, that was the worst idea there was. Now....'

Deciding to be peaceful, Dimas opened his mouth to say his name.

But his tongue stopped for a moment when he wanted to say it.

To throw off that bad past, Dimas tries to forget his own name. Strive to become a new person, who is not at all bound by his bad memories.

In just 3 seconds....

"Thard. A wanderer." Said Dimas who grabbed something behind his pocket.

Quickly, both of his hands gave something to the two gatekeepers.

What he gave was none other than a few grains of gold left during the mining..

"Oohhhhhhhhhh.... Tharde yes. All right, you can come in."

"Yes, you're right. I think you can come in. As long as you keep your attitude, we won't have a problem with you."

A faint smile was seen on Dimas' face, knowing how easy it was to do bribery in this age.

"Thank you very much, I'll take care of my attitude."

......***......

The first thing he thought about was obtaining a place to stay. For that, he needs money. And to earn money....

'Hmm.... I think I can sell this helmet. I'm not too comfortable using it anyway.' Thought Dimas in his heart while taking off that iron helmet on his head.

He was looking for a gun shop or something to sell his equipment.

But behind this thick, cold snow....

Hardly anyone walks outside their home. Maybe only a few people have an important need.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity when he met someone, Dimas without hesitation immediately asked.

"Excuse me, where can I sell some of my gear?" Dimas asked while showing him his iron helmet.

The thick-bearded man immediately stopped and noticed the figure of the young man before him.

"Sell equipment? There are a lot of iron shops closed, but you can try them at Hendrik's shop. The old man was still open despite these conditions. For location...."

The bearded man immediately pointed his way to Dimas. There is not a single detail that he missed. And after their business is done....

"Thank you very much for your help."

With that sentence, Dimas immediately parted ways and went to the store he just mentioned.

But before that....

'Enchant.' Said Dimas in his heart while putting both his hands on the iron helmet.

He was thinking of increasing the durability or something like that on this helmet before it was sold. It is possible, the value will increase and give more money.

'I only have a third left, so I guess this is the limit today.'

A red light began to envelop both of Dimas' hands. Similarly, with a small red magic circle on top of his hand.

All that red light was absorbed into the iron helmet he was holding.

Physically, there was no change in the helmet. But when Dimas tries to see her with his Clairvoyance powers....

...[.Iron Helmet]...

...Durability: 25...

...- Enchantment -...

...Improved resilience - D Rank...

...Increases durability by 30 points for goods that obtain Enchantment...

'Pretty good, in other words this helmet is 2 times better than the original, right? I wish I could make 2 times more money with this.'

Once ready, Dimas immediately entered the store.

'Cliying!'

The sound of bells rang out as Dimas opened the door of the iron shop.

Behind it, was a pretty neat shop. The walls are filled with different types of weapons on display. While in some corners of the room looks armor worn on wooden mannequins.

Not long after, the owner named Hendrik also appeared. He was just as old as the pedestrian had said before.

With a fairly long white beard, as well as a large and tall body, the old man clearly gave off quite a strong aura of intimidation.

"Yes? What's up?"

"I want to sell this." Said Dimas while putting down his helmet.

"Hmm? Used helmets, huh? I don't know if I want to buy it or not, but I'm sure the quality won't be as good as a new helmet." Said the old man.

Despite saying so, Hendrik still took his time to check the merchandise.

He took a pair of unique stacked glasses. Using that object, he watched Dimas' helmet closely.

But a few moments later....

"It's.... What the fuck?! How can you have something this good?!" Shouted Hendrik with a face that has now changed drastically.

He was very surprised by what he had just seen.

Dimas on the other hand looks a satisfied smile with a calm face. But no one will notice it.

That deep down....

'Huh?! You're kidding, right?! It was only a D level increase, right?! Why is his reaction like that?!'

Dimas himself was quite surprised by what he had just seen.
