The Glorious Chronicle
Chapter 8 - Blusukan

The residents of Mallorca stared at a horse carriage with curious gazes. The horse-drawn carriage had the coat of arms of the House of Mallorca in its carriage. This is quite a rare thing and makes you worried because the image of the Nobles is not too good.

"What are nobles doing in this place?"

"No way...ask to raise taxes, right?"

Hearing the words thrown mindlessly by one of them, made the other Citizens worry.

"But our present Lord would never do such things."

And the mood changed again when they heard that. Yes, their Lord is not such a person. He was a Conferred Knight and Nobility.

"True, our Lord is an honorable person."

"Yes. I was stupid for having doubts."

People talk about this and that. Ethan who was inside the carriage had a pale face that was not good.

"What the fuck is this vibration and this smell is a very deadly combo" muttered Ethan half-consciously.

Yeah, right when Ethan got to City, the very stinging smell of his nose made him almost vomit. Not to mention, coupled with the vibe of the Train, it was a very deadly combo. If Ethan had not had abnormal state immunity, he would have vomited from earlier.

Mia, who was looking at her Young Master, explained.

"Young Master, although Mallorca has a low level of cleanliness, but other Cities are no better either."

Ethan who heard that was dumbfounded. Ethan thinks that Mallorca is like this because most of the people who live here are Adventurers who are less concerned with things like cleanliness and neatness. But, even other cities as well.

"Is the capital the same?"

Ethan hopes that the Capital, as the center of the State and where the King lives chooses a decent level of cleanliness, but, Mia's answer leaves all her hopes shattered.

"Of course, even the Capital is one of the worst hit because of its population density."

Ethan actually became very gloomy and disfigured when he heard about it. He no longer wants to think.

"That's it. hahahaha. I see."

Mia was really sorry to see the damaged Young Master, this was the first time Mia had seen such a desperate Ethan. But, there's nothing he can do but to convey the truth before Ethan's hopes get higher.

After a few minutes of being shaken by the Horse-drawn Carriage, Ethan finally reached his destination, the Craft District. On the left and right side of the street there are many shops that sell handicrafts such as magic tools, weapons and everyday tools.

After the train stops, Ethan gets off. He had already used magic for himself which was modified from magic .

Ethan looked around with an extremely radiant face, which could be seen even when he had no expression at all.

The people who saw Ethan, all of them immediately bowed their heads to Ethan as a form of respect. This is a sign of the social order of the hierarchy of this Kingdom.

Ethan glanced at the men at a glance, and soon lost interest. He then glanced towards the weapons present in each shop and used . Ethan kept walking and looked around with a very serious face.

"This is quite less compared to what I expected, but not too low for the size of a mass-produced weapon" Ethan murmured.

Ethan was a little worried that the weapons being mass-made would not be too good. The weapons sold were at least good enough to fight Rank-E to Rank-D monsters in large numbers. If it had gotten to a higher level, it would naturally have to use special weapons of much better quality.

Satisfied with looking around, Ethan then plans to go to the next place.

"Now, let's go again."

Mia and the bodyguards were all confused. This was because Ethan was just looking around and had not bought the Sword like his original purpose.

"Aren't you going to buy the Sword, Young Master?"

Rubbing his chin with a serious face, Ethan answered Mia's question.

"Hmm. not at the moment. In fact, the original purpose of these streets was to see the state of the city directly."

Actually Ethan was considering to at least buy some Weapons, but he was undoing his intentions because with the current quality of the weapons, he would only continuously change his weapons.

Seeing that Mia is not questioning any further, Ethan immediately walks towards the train.

"Let's go. I don't have much time."

So, Ethan and the troupe immediately leave the craft district. Heading to another place.

"Where do you want to go next, Young Master?" ask Mia.

"dumping channel. Is there, such a thing?" ethan asked a little worried.

Mia was confused by her Young Master's choice of place. On the one hand, his Young Master hated smell so much, but he instead went to the source of the smell itself. But, Mia had no right to question her choice, so she nodded.

"I understand. I'll tell the coachman."

Because it is quite far away, the journey to get there is quite time consuming. And just like in the craft district, many curious eyes from the public.

Ethan looked out of the carriage. He could see that the people in this place were living very differently from the people in the other districts. They were very thin, dirty and their eyes were much stronger than other areas. In other words, this is what is referred to as the slum of Mallorca City.

"Young Master, please don't separate too far from the Knights when you get off later." Mia warns Ethan in a serious tone.

Ethan also knew that and just nodded according. The slums are the perfect picture of the Survival of Fittest where only the strong survive and the weak will die slowly on the outskirts of the road.

Eventually, Ethan makes it to the sewer. A very pungent smell could be smelled by his nose that had been protected with magic.

Ethan got off the train with a not-so-good face. He looked around and only a pile of improperly processed waste was visible. In addition, Ethan could clearly feel a very thick miasma in this place.

As Ethan was thinking about this and that, an Old Grandpa came near Ethan.

"Young Master... What are you doing in a dirty place like this?" tanyanya.

Ethan looked towards the shabby Old Grandpa. His extremely thin and improperly groomed body, enters Ethan's view.

"Are you in charge here?" ask Ethan.

The Old Grandfather flinched slightly, the dignity he felt from Ethan made him slightly bow.

"Really. I'm in charge of this place, Cederick."

"So, can you get me down the drain?"

Cederick is confused by Ethan's request. He looked at Mia and the Knight escorting Ethan asking if this was okay, and they all threw their faces away as if dodging looking into his eyes.

"What's wrong? If I can't, I'll leave soon" Ethan said.

Cederick who heard that shook his head in fear.

"It's okay Young Master, please come here."

"good. Then deliver me."

Cederick is worried about sending Ethan down the drain. As it gets closer to the sewer, the smell gets stronger.

"By the way, how many work here?" ask Ethan suddenly.

"There are only 5 people including me, Young Master," Cederick immediately gave an answer.

Ethan nodded. He could understand why there were only 5 people working. Obviously the first reason is pay and the second reason is a very bad work environment.

They finally arrived. The place where everything ends, the sewer.

"It's.really bad." Ethan's first impression when he sees the sewer.

There are several reasons why Ethan thinks this is really bad. The first is the color of the water that has become pitch black and the second is garbage that can look concerned.

When Ethan was looking carefully at the sewer, his face suddenly shrunk.

"Everyone, grab your guns. Looks like we're not welcome here, '" he ordered.

As Ethan said that, a loud screech from the direction of the sewer sounded.

"Dear!"

"Sort!"

"Squeaks!"

The knight who heard that had a pretty tense face. If only by hearing his voice, they know that the number is very much.

"Mia, and Cederick retreated a little. It's gonna be a little rough" Ethan said.

Mia who heard that shook her head strongly.

"No! Young Master, you-"

Ethan smiles and cuts off Mia's words.

"It's okay, I'm strong enough to make Dad move out of his place when sparing, you know?"

Mia is still worried, but as her personal Maid, she knows that Ethan is the most stubborn person.

"I-I understand. Please don't get hurt because we'll all be in trouble if Young Master gets hurt."

"Of course," Ethan looked back at the sewer. "Only a mouse is impossible to hurt me."
