257 - - Episode 16 Gold Specialties

The representatives of the various countries have gathered in the Principality of Sixt, and it will be decided to hold a meeting in a few days.

Currently, the various diplomats are in the process of getting together and agreeing on a date and time.

In the meantime, we were touring the Six Principality, looking around the area in order to understand escape routes in case of an emergency and to familiarize ourselves with the geography.

The open-air market is quite busy, but I'm sure there are more lively towns like this one,......, but it's a bit unusual to find a store with such a wide selection of magic items.

Mm, it looks like several times the size of a normal, thriving city."

Gold nodded in agreement to my words.

We first headed for the open-air market where food was gathered.

Here, foodstuffs, spices, and other goods are gathered in large numbers by riverboat transportation.

Therefore, the market was lined with foodstuffs that are rarely seen in the racial kingdoms.

However, in a city where trade is thriving, it would still be a sight to see.

The scene that was typical of the Principality of Six was in the stores.

There were many stores selling magic items.

As Gold pointed out, there seemed to be several times as many as in other cities.

Nemmu twists her head.

But why are there so many magic item stores?

'Maybe, but since the Principality of Six has the aspect of an academic city, cutting-edge magic items are developed and lined up before anywhere else. It may also be that the Dragon People's Empire is a country that is very good at developing magic items.

When the "Beastmen Massacre" took place, one of the beastmen was playing a flute.

The whistle was called the "Whistle of Rampage," a magic item that had the power to make dragons confused, frenzied, and rampaging.

Whether or not it is possible to create a magic item with that much power, a magic item with strong power has the power to influence even the war situation.

The fact that Six Principality is an academic city and a country that develops magic items probably means that there are more magic item stores in Six Principality than in other countries.

Is it ok to sell failed items?"

There are even some unusual magic item stores that are rarely seen in the city in general.

Moreover, it seemed to be thriving, attracting a surprisingly scholarly crowd.

After checking the street of stores, we next headed to the rumored "Six Principality Magician Academy.

It is the highest school for magicians, where Miya, a human who has talent as a magician, was to receive a recommendation and enter the school.

The Six Principality Academy of Magicians is located on the east side of the city in an upscale residential area.

Incidentally, a rough explanation of Six Principality is that the venue is in the center, and the south side is the general area.

The north side is a slum.

The west side is the entrance and exit for river boat traffic.

We are currently at the market and store street on the west side, so we will head to the upscale residential side on the opposite side.

The Six Principality Academy of Magicians is located between the center of the city and the upscale residential area.

The atmosphere of the school is similar to that of the upscale residential area, since a large percentage of the faculty and students are aristocrats.

However, there are also students and faculty members from the general public, so we saw a few people wearing cloaks and looking like magicians in the markets and stores.

We moved to the east.

We arrived at the front gate of the Six Principality Academy of Magicians.

This is the Six Principality Academy of Magicians. ......

Behind the main gate was a school building larger than an ordinary nobleman's mansion, and many cloaked magicians could be seen.

I never thought I would see so many sorcerers gathered here. ......

In a sense, this may be the scene that best represents the Principality of Six.

Gold and Nemmu also looked at the scene from outside the main gate and let out their impressions.

It's also impressive that there are so many magicians here. It's a sight you won't see anywhere else.

I wish we could take a tour of the inside, since Master Dirk seems interested. ......

Nemm is right, I'm interested, but there's no way an outsider can just show up and take a tour.

The Lord may be right, but at any rate, asking is free of charge. Let me go and ask him.

Without pausing, Gold approaches the main gate of the Six Principality Magicians Academy and calls out to the students.

At first, the students were wary of Gold's sudden approach, but after a few conversations, they began chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for a long time.

Nemmu and I watched the scene with admiration.

Gold is so shy that he can talk to people he doesn't know. ...... I don't think I could ever duplicate that kind of guts or charm, no matter how high I go.

I wonder if I, ......, should try to be a little more proactive in getting to know those on the ground as well as Gold.

Gold's positive attitude toward others makes even Nemm, who has always looked down on people on the ground and shunned them, wonder whether he should improve in light of himself in the face of his energy.

In the case of Nemm, however, he is often tangled up with people on the ground because of his good looks, and unlike in the lowest level of the "abyss," he is also reluctant to get involved.

I think it's okay for me to leave the part of the job to someone like Gold, rather than forcing myself to do it and getting mentally fatigued.

Gold, who had been talking with the students, was leading them over the main gate and headed for the school building.

Gold, who had been talking with the students, led them over the main gate and into the school building.

I wonder if the students were escorted to the building to get permission from the person in charge?"

Probably ......."

Me and Nemmu were seen from afar by the other students for a few minutes, as if we were nowhere to be found.

Gold comes back with a person who looks like he is in charge, not a student.

He says, "Lord, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

No, I'm not waiting much longer. So, how are you doing over there? ......"

The person who followed with Gold has ...... sallow black skin and a pointed tail. He was around 5'5" tall, with a bald head and a white beard, and was of the demon race.

I would say that he is about 30 years old, if I had to use a racial comparison.

He introduces himself in a friendly manner.

My name is Domus, and I am a teacher and researcher of offensive magic at the Six Principality Academy of Magicians. Are you the adventurer A-level 'black clown' Dirk-dono?"

I'm not sure. I am Dirk of the "Black Clown" party.

When he introduced himself back, his, Domas', eyes lit up like a child's.

I heard a rumor that you can destroy combat class and tactical class chants in spite of your race (human).　If it is possible, could you please show us!　Of course, I'm not saying it's for free. I'll pay you a technical spectator fee, and I'll even talk you into enrolling, let alone touring the Duke's Academy of Magicians!"

When he talks about offensive magic, he instantly talks fast.

It was as if he was the king of the dwarven species with a magic item in front of him.

When I turn my gaze to Gold, he gives a thumbs-up in delight.

I give him a delighted thumbs-up, "I've done a good job, haven't I? He seemed to be trying to say, "I'm sorry.

Apparently, Gold had contacted Domas, a researcher in offensive magic, through a student in order to visit the school.

It seems that I had lured him with my combat class and tactical class chanting ability, and had seized the opportunity to visit the school.

Gold is not only good at combat, but also at negotiation," I was impressed.
