章 11: Chapter 11
25 minutes after parting with Laura and her knights. Leon walked around the city that had become night. Although it was night, the city was not dark. Instead it was very bright, there were many orb like lights hanging from the street poles and inside the buildings.
"This is not what I imagined, I didn't know the city would be this bright. I thought it would be by torchlight. It's like a lamp after all. Roxa!! Can you analyze that round thing that can give off light?"
"[Analyzing.... That thing is a magic tool that can produce light. The magic tool is called Lichtmagen. Lichtmagen can produce light that can illuminate the night. This tool is sold at the magic tool shop at various prices depending on its size and usage time. The one with a 1-year usage time costs 5 gold coins, the one with a 2-year usage time costs 8 gold coins, and the one with a 5-year usage time costs 21 gold coins. And the one with a large size costs 23 gold coins]."
Roxa explained the magic tool.
"I forgot to ask this, what is the price of the currency here?"
"[1 gold is equal to 30 silver coins, 1 gold is also equal to 100 bronze coins.]"
"I see."
I continued my journey to the inn. There were a lot of people selling food on the side of the road. What surprised me was the tools they used to cook. In my world they use electric or gas stoves. But here it was different, there was a device that could produce magic like a stove but there was no gas or connection for the power.
"[In case you're wondering, it's a magic tool used to create fire. A system is built into it so that it can produce fire. How it works is still unknown, just like the Lichtmagen. The magic tool is called firemagen."]
I let out a long sigh.
"This world is far beyond my expectations. I thought I would be transported in a medieval world like in manga and novels. But this world is much more unique. A mixture of science and magic. It's a medieval world that is in a period of industrial and technological development. It seems like there are many more magic tools in this world. Science and magic combined would be a miracle in fact."
"[That's right. Nowadays there are even many magic tools being analyzed.]"
"I see. But before that...."
I stopped my footsteps in the crowd.
"Where exactly is the inn that has a picture of the Orchid flower?"
"[....]"
There was no answer from Roxa.
"Roxa, can you show me the way to that inn?"
"[My function is to analyze things, not show the way.]"
"So, now what?"
Elsewhere a room where the walls were decorated with various paintings and topped with gold-colored ornaments. The floor was red in color, the light that illuminated only part of the room was illuminated. There was a person kneeling in the part that was illuminated. That person was Air Vincent Cedric. He was kneeling facing the dark part of the room.
"So that's it. That young man helped Laura and gave her the healing Potion. Also helped you guys deal with the WellfRed swarms which were very numerous. Plus Laura also said that he also killed the Orc fires. She also came from inside that forest, I didn't even know there was a village, because it was dangerous inside the forest."
A voice appeared speaking, the voice came from the dark part of the room. Someone was in the dark part of the room. The voice that appeared was calm but weighty. Sir Vincent Cedric just knelt down and did not dare to look at the dark room. His body did not move an inch, as if there was a pressure that could not make him move.
"What rank do you think he is?"
"If I extrapolate from the physical strength told by Miss Laura, the ability to use weapons and martial arts, and the high ability to use magic. I estimate that the young man is at Special rank, Rank S."
Sir Vincent said without turning his face and with a firm voice.
"Rank S, yes. What do you think we should give to that young man as thanks?"
"I had previously given him a bag of gold. But I felt that was not enough as a token of gratitude. So, I said I would give the young man whatever he wanted."
"Then, did the young man ask for anything?"
"Not yet. He hasn't asked for anything. He said that he doesn't want anything at the moment. But maybe in the future he will ask for something. And also I apologize for making a decision on your permission."
"No problem with that. You've done a good job and made a good impression with that young man. We'd better give him a better gift. That's right. Send someone to meet him and give him an A-level rank. Right now don't give him an S rank, before he shows his power a little openly. There will be many people who feel this is unfair, without knowing his strength. Add some gold. We can't let go of people who have abilities."
"I understand, sir. Do we have to use your name as the sender?"
"Don't use my name. Use Laura's family name. It's not time for that young man to know yet."
"I understand. Then I will take my leave."
Sir Vincent stood up and bowed as a sign of respect. Then he turned and walked away.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. I can feel something big is about to happen?"
The person inside the dark room spoke in a happy tone.
