Dont mention it. Anyone up for a trip to the Imperial City?!
We have disbanded our Party and went our separate ways when the girl tried to assemble a new group of people who were up to take the trip she was offering. As for the Guild building in Quratar, it was bigger than the one in Veil, but definitely smaller than the one in the Imperial City. Veil had only one reception counter, Imperial City had many more of them, and the one here is Quratar has three in total. Hmm, from what Roxanne was telling me about this place, I thought its Adventurers Guild was going to be a bit bigger.
A trip to the Imperial City! Anyone?
The female eld Adventurer repeated her message, but once she saw that pretty much no one was coming along for the ride she simply clicked her tongue and then returned through the portal back to the Imperial City. Well, thats life for you I guess. You cannot always have a cake and eat a cake, or in this case always have people who would be willing to Fast Travel to wherever it is youre going.
But that is none of my concerns. All that I care about for now is that my goal has been achieved. Now that I have personally been to both the Imperial City and Quratars Adventurers Guild, I should be able to teleport to both of those locations on my own by using Warp, so I think I will do just that. And when I emerged from the portal back at Veils Adventurers Guild building
Welcome back, master.
Roxanne was still there, patiently waiting for me, greeting me with those warm words. My God, she has no idea how happy I am to see her!
Yeah, Im ba whoooa!!!
When I tried to walk towards her after returning her greeting, I suddenly felt very weak in the legs and tripped, almost falling on top of her, but Roxanne caught me before that could happen.
Are you okay, master?
Really? Then maybe we should do the same? If we do, then Im counting on you to guide me.
Leave it to me then! Please, its this way!
Roxanne pointed with her finger and began walking without hesitation.
you know which way the north is, Roxanne?
Im sorry, but I dont quite understand. Could you repeat that, master?
Nah, its fine, dont worry about it, I was just talking to myself. Im surprised that you remember which way to go after not being here for so long. Ah, could it be that youre following the Labyrinths smell? Also, arent we going to go outside of the city to reach the Labyrinth?
No, there no need for that, because this city has been built around the Labyrinth in its entirety. The Labyrinth is in the towns center, and all of the roads extend from there in a radial pattern.
Wow, really? Initially I found it pretty hard to believe, but the further into the city we went, the buildings were gradually getting more and more sparse on the right side of the road, meaning that this was probably the direction of the towns outskirts, whereas on the left side of the road they continued like normally all the way to the heart of the town, where we were apparently heading right now.
We continued to walk down the road towards the towns center. I looked at the sun to confirm its position in the sky and with it the time, and noticed that it was a little lower than it was back in Veil, but since I have no idea how far are those two cities located from one another, it became impossible to determine whether their longitudes and latitudes were exactly the same or different, causing differences in the length of the day of the amount of time one hour was perceived here, if such differences were even present in this world to begin with.
The stores we were passing by consisted mainly of fishmongers, butchers, bakeries and hardware stores. When we went passed them, we arrived at what looked like a rotary.
