บท 39: Chapter 39 Fairy tale history

"I'm Isabella" She answered, "call me Ray," he said, "can I ask you a question". "You can ask me anything," Isabella said with a smile, "do you know where the girls went?" Ray asked her, "what" she blinked a few times when he said that she was thinking it was something personal after he asked for her name but no.

"Do you know where the girls went?" Ray asked loudly this time, "no, but I saw them leaving this morning" she replied.

"Oh, thanks" Ray turn and went outside to look for the girls, Isabella stood there dumbfounded and angry with herself, 'i thought he finally looked at me as he asked my name, why didn't I become an adventurer' Isabella thought to herself.

She was so consumed in her thought that she stood there unmoving, "Isabella, what's wrong?" another maid asked, "Bella" the maid shouted, "huh, nothing" she quickly adjusted herself and left.

"What's with her, well that's her problem" the maid left.

"hmm, I wonder where they went to early this morning" Ray looked around but didn't find the girls.

"Lily is it me or do you also feel something different about Ray," Arya said while running with Lily.

They woke up early to do some exercise and ended up running, "different like what?" Lily asked.

"You know, he does things differently, he gets surprised at things and he asks too many questions, it feels like he's not from this world," Arya said laughing at her conclusion.

'What she's saying is right, does this means what he told me was right' Lily thought. 'What if he's just behaving like that so he could do something bad, I will watch him from now' Lily nodded her head.

"What are you thinking about, you noticed it too right," Arya said, "no, I didn't notice anything, I'm just hungry we should head back," Lily said.

The girls finally reach the merchant's house, they went straight to the bath as they were sweating profusely, Arya went in first and Lily waited.

Ray was in the living room reading one of the books he found there, this one was about the history of the world, and they also mentioned dragons.

Ray already knew that dragons exists in this world because he encountered one as soon as he reincarnated in this world.

The book talks about the time of peace when humans and beasts all lived in peace, humans rode dragons and children play with wolves but that all changed when king Authur captured a dragon to use for one of his magical experiments.

'King Authur, ohh this looks like a fairy tale book in my world'. Ray kept on reading.

Then the dragons found out about one of their kind being kept hostage by humans and ordered the king to release the dragon but he refused and the dragons waged war on humans.

"You're reading," Jack said with hints of laughter, "yeah, I'm reading a book about dragons" Ray replied.

"Did all of this really happened?" Ray asked Jack, "what do you mean by that". "I mean, I know dragons exist but did this really happen?" Ray asked again.

"You are just stupid, didn't you go to school when you were little" Jack cursed at Ray.

"Jerk" Ray cursed back, Jack ignored him and prepared to take a bath.

Ray dropped the book after reading for a while. Arya, Lily, and Jack already left the house to complete some tasks in the adventurer guild hall.

.....

Ray was walking around the city and was actually amazed at how it was built, then something caught his eyes.

A black shirt that had some blue design on it was displayed outside an armor shop, Ray quickly went in.

"Good morning" Ray greeted the seller, "morning boy, what can I help you with?" the seller asked Ray.

"How much for that piece," Ray said pointing at the shirt he saw outside, "oh, that is just normal clothing not armor," the seller told him.

"I know, how much for it," Ray said, "how much do you have?" the seller asked. Ray was only with ten pieces of bronze coin he got from completing the monster subjugation task.

"Ten coins," Ray said, "what type of coin?" the seller asked, Ray showed him the ten coins he had and immediately the seller got angry and chased Ray out.

"I wonder what his problem is" Ray mumbled and walked forward till he found a library, "I should check this out maybe I can learn more about this world".

Ray walked towards the entrance of the library and the man there asked him for fees, he was a short man with a large beard who sat on a wooden chair.

"How much?" Ray asked, "just 10 bronze coins" the man replied, 'that's all the money with me and just to enter a library, that's why the seller chased me out.

Ray handed out his ten coins to the man and he was granted access to the library, before he entered he asked the man. "What type of coins are available".

The man found the question weird, who doesn't know the currency used worldwide, but he answered anyway.

"There are three types of coins, bronze, silver and gold", "ohh" Ray nodded his head and went inside. "What a weird boy" the man muttered.

Entering the library, Ray was surprised, the books were well arranged according to their use.

There was history, magical books, spell books, gods, general knowledge, and many more.

Ray quickly navigated and found a book the same as the one he read before going out, and it fell under history.

'Did this really happen' Ray thought and skipped to the magic section, he was wondering what book he should read when someone asked.

"Are you a mage?", Ray turned back and found a beautiful girl with blonde hair staring at him, 'wow, she looked just like her' Ray's mind went back to the dream he had about a blonde girl.

"Are you alright?" the girl asked, Ray quickly snapped out of his daze, "yes, hi" Ray said with a smile.
