The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 14 [First City (2) ]
Aqua has an identification. Ashlan once made one for Aqua. But that mark is no ordinary sign. It was a magician identification mark made directly by the magic tower. There it says the level of one's magician, Aqua's got is high level.
"People would be excited to see a 13-year-old child as a high-level wizard. Never mind…"
"Sorry, I don't have it. What kind of procedure should we do?" lie Aqua.
"It's easy, first you have to touch this magic crystal. These crystals will glow blue if you are clean and red if you are criminals. Then you have to pay 5 silver coins for adults and 2 coins for children."
"I understand."
Aqua placed her hand on the crystal. The crystal glowed blue as soon as Aqua touched it. Aqua was sure it would light up blue, as she had never been a criminal. As soon as it was Yue's turn, Aqua was a little worried about that. But that worry is in vain. The crystal also lit up blue when Yue touched. After that Aqua paid 4 silver coins from her small bag.
"Okay, you guys got away."
The guards opened the gate, Aqua and Yue entered the first city they came to while traveling. The crowded scenery inside shocked Yue. He had never seen such a person before. Although scared, he was also happy that he could see her with Aqua.
"Look! Lookie! There are animal ears! Aqua, look! There is a long tail. Woahhhh…"
Aqua giggled at Yue's behavior. Although Aqua herself rarely saw the various races gathered in one place, but she had never been so. Of course, the first time he saw excluded.
"Calm Yue."
"Since we'll be here for a while to replenish our supplies and add money, we'll find lodging first."
Yue nodded cutely. He continued to hold Aqua's hand as if he would not take it off. The adults they passed by smiled warmly at the closeness of the brothers. Aqua flushed slightly from not getting used to such a sight. Unlike Yue who did not care about them and was busy looking here and there.
A large, muscular man with a large sword on his back smashed into Aqua's small body. Because Aqua's str stat was quite high, she did not topple over. The man was precisely the one who felt pain as if he had hit a wall.
He turned around and looked at Aqua sharply.
"Oyy boy! You just hit me!!" growled the man.
Aqua remained calm, yet inwardly humbled her.
"Ah.. this type of person is quite troublesome."
"I'm sorry sir, do you feel pain because of me?" syndicate Aqua. He indirectly insulted the man if he felt pain from bumping into a child. Behind Aqua who remained calm, Yue was annoyed with that person. A dark red aura as if emerged from Yue Yang body staring at the man with a murderous gaze.
"Ha... You think your little collision could hurt me?" upset the man.
People were watching them and whispering insinuating to the man. They pity Aqua for having to get involved with him, but nothing seems to help.
From behind his long bangs, Aqua saw the status of that person.
"Haaa.. only waji*gan level 68 alone seems to have been like a great person."
"Then what's the problem with my little collision?"
"This damn fucker!!!!"
The man was furious and raised Aqua's collar up high. Although his body did not tread the ground, Aqua did not panic at all. He exuded a killing aura only at that man. Instantly the man shivered. He felt as if he was holding a little demon in his hand.
"This time I let you go, boy, don't see me again" said the man rudely. He immediately took Aqua down and left with his entourage.
Aqua tidied up her clothes, the people watching them immediately dispersed the big man.
"Aqua! He ran away," whispered Yue.
"Yes, let it go. People seemed to only dare to bully those weaker than him. Yue, you can't follow her."
"Hm."
Yue nodded, as usual every Yue learned new things and acted cute, Aqua always stroked her head gently.
Aqua held Yue's hand and continued looking for lodging. Before leaving, Aqua overheard the man's conversation with someone.
"Is that little waji*gan caught?"
"Had been the boss, he always managed to escape every time we looked for him. But this time we caught him."
"Good! This time we show the boss to the son of a bitch. Prepare the kids!!!"
"Good, boss!"
"...."
Aqua and Yue asked the lodging recommendations to the people on the street. Almost everyone led them to the same inn. They said it was the best inn in town.
Aqua and Yue agreed to go there even though it was a little expensive. They stopped in front of a pretty fancy building that read "Grasbeet Inn."
"Aqua... What is Grasbeet?"
"Grasbeet means 'grass base' in Germanic."
"Germanian Kingdom? Great... How does Aqua know?"
"The Kingdom of Germania had now joined the Empire, so it was no longer there. But Master forced me to learn a lot of languages, so I know."
Aqua's face looked somewhat depressed when talking about that.
"Because the master knows I'm the Prince of the Empire, he's forcing me to learn things like language, politics and military strategy."
"One day must be useful" said Ashlan first. "I don't intend to be emperor, master."
"Aqua knows a lot of things. Yue also wanted to learn a lot!" said Yue enthusiastically.
"Well, I'll teach you along the way."
Yue looked excited and ran around Aqua while cheering excitedly. Aqua's feeling warmed up every time she saw Yue.
"What is this that a father feels when he sees his daughter?"
"Let's go in Yue!"
"Yum!!"
They entered the inn together. At the front was a reception desk and a mother who greeted them was friendly.
"Welcome to the Grasbeet Inn! Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please one room with 2 mattresses."
"Well, what do you want to add a portion of food for two people?"
"Please do it."
"For how many days, son?"
"Any, 3 days."
"I understand. Then 4 silver coins and 5 copper coins."
Aqua took out money to pay for that fee. Then the mother gave Aqua the key and drove her to her room. Do not forget to leave Aqua in a friendly and polite manner without questioning their companion.
In this world, people can be called adults if they are 15 years old. An unaccompanied minor will attract the attention of many adults. Even so, there is no special ban on them because many minors without families there are many in various places.
A medium room with two mattresses and large windows greeted Aqua. The room was clean and the ventilation was good. Of course it could not compare to hotels and inns in the modern world, but for the size of this world, it was quite a luxurious room.
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"Yue want to be in bed by the window!"
"All right, I'm near the door."
Aqua lay down for a moment on one of the mattresses. Yue also laid herself down next to Aqua. As Aqua glanced at him, the girl gave a cute grin.
"Didn't you want a bed next to the window?" asked Aqua in a quip.
"Next to Aqua is better," replied the girl innocently without sin.
"This boy. isn't he too cute?"
Aqua got up and tidied up her clothes.
"Yosh. I will go to the mercenary guild to sell the carcass of the monster I defeated yesterday. Yue... You just wait here, okay?"
"Eh?? But Yue wants to come!!" whinek Yue spoiled.
"Can't! Those mercenary guilds were many dangerous people. You stay here."
