Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

The next day, Mirwa and Albe left the hotel in the capital together.

They procured a carriage, got into it, and set out for the south. Their destination was the port town of Garbee.

Originally, this was the territory of the Lamaronic Empire, but Agartha had won the land in a previous battle. It was not a big city before, but after Agartha took this land, it has been renovated and is now a large port city.

The two men barely spoke to each other on the carriage ride to Garbee. Mirwa, however, was in a good mood and was seen many times squinting at the scenery from the window of the carriage. Albe, on the other hand, was also looking at the train window, but he was completely expressionless and simply gazing at the scenery outside.

Mirwa was well aware of this attitude of Albe. She had prepared herself for a tedious journey, but surprisingly, she enjoyed the journey, as there were many towns of various sizes along the way to Garbee, where rare and unusual items were sold.

Finally, when the sun had set and the area was enveloped in darkness, the carriage arrived at Garbee.

We immediately look for a place to stay. Of course, it was the best inn in town. I found a recently constructed building, and everything was new.

The hotel, named Darke Hotel, was said to have a panoramic view of the sea, but unfortunately I could not enjoy the view because of the darkness surrounding the hotel. Nevertheless, the meals served there had a system that allowed us to eat whatever we wanted and as much as we wanted, which pleased Mirwa very much.

On a table in the spacious dining room, plates of various sizes were placed, and piles of various kinds of food were piled on them. The hotel staff told us that they were able to offer such a wide variety of dishes because many different goods from many different countries were unloaded in Garbee. All of them were well seasoned and Mirwa enjoyed them to the limit.

Back in the room, we headed for the bathroom. Here, as in the heated data room, the water would come out when the faucet was turned on. Apparently, this technology is only used in Heedata and Agartha. Moreover, this hotel was equipped with a bathtub, into which one could fill up hot water to wash oneself. It reminded me of the Hotel Krumphal.

Mirwa filled herself to the brim with hot water, warmed herself, and went to sleep with great satisfaction.

The next morning, unfortunately, it was raining in Garbee and there was no view of the ocean from the room. She was tempted to stay at the hotel for a few more days and enjoy the city to the fullest, but she could not afford to do so now. Mirwa left Garbee with a sense of dread in her heart.

The carriage headed north along the Irbezi River. This river swells in the early spring with melting snow and becomes like a mighty river, but now it was flowing calmly. Milwa had thought that the wagons were going to Agartha by traveling through the Lamarong Kingdom, but there was a wide and clean road along the river, and the wagons were going to Agartha through it.

"...... I miss it."

During the trip, Milwa muttered unexpectedly. Albe looked at her quickly. But Mirwa ignored him completely and continued to speak.

"Beyond those mountains, there used to be our village of Siljus. We used to play around here. ......

In Milwa's eyes, the view of her childhood, when she used to escape from her village and play, was right in front of her. It was as if time had stopped, as if the people she had played with in those days could fly in and out of her mind.

Soleil used to play with me back then. Soleil was a slow flyer and always followed Milwa. I never imagined that Soleil would surpass me and even become the queen of the greatest country in the world. All of this happened because Soleil took over the spirits that I had contracted with her. If it had not been for that, I would have stayed in the village of Silures and I would have been able to live a peaceful life as the next chief of my tribe.

Milwa smiles as she thinks about this. Even if that had happened, she has no intention of returning to the village. I would rather die than live in such cramped conditions.

As she thinks about this, her face naturally turns into a smile. At first glance, it was an eerie sight, but Albe did not think anything of it.

Toward evening, the carriage stopped unexpectedly. As he was wondering what was going on, the driver got off the back of the cart and approached him.

"Would you like to take a rest in this village?

"Warding Village?"

"Yes. It's an Agartha specialty ......, but there are many wards here, so you can rest. Basically, there is no charge to stay overnight. However, since it is a facility made for travelers, you will be punished if you make a mess or make a mess. There are stores in the village, so you can eat pretty well if you pay enough money."

This is the first time I've heard of a village called "Kaiyumura. I look at Albe, but he does not answer. Perhaps he has never heard of it.

Mirwa, intrigued, decides to take a rest there. He looked around and saw numerous small bowl-shaped buildings.

When he looked closer, he saw that they were made of a hard, transparent material. Inside there was a space that could accommodate about three adult men, and several blankets were folded in the corner of the room.

Once inside, the surroundings instantly became dark. There was no way to see what was going on outside. As I walked out of the room, wondering what was going on, strangely enough, the building became transparent again.

"I see, so once inside, the building is invisible from the outside. How mysterious.

With these words, she looked around the warding village at will. It seems to be a facility similar to an encampment. However, it seems to be much better equipped than an encampment. In the distance is a row of rectangular buildings, which the driver tells us are washrooms. He seemed to have stayed here many times and told us that not only the washrooms but also the bathrooms were fully equipped. She immediately decided to stay there, as it seemed to be the same type of bathroom that Mirwa had experienced at Hotel Krumphal, where warm water was always running in the bathtub.

"Oh no, it's just a guest. It's a "we're all in it together" system. Is everything okay there?"

"What do you mean?"

I was told that the bathrooms in the village were very spacious, but because anyone who wished to could enter could do so, people of other races would also come in. Although the bathrooms are separated for men and women as expected, there is a gatekeeper who gives detailed instructions on how to use the bathrooms. It is not a problem once you get used to it, but most of them do not like to be bound by such rigid rules, and few of them use it.

"...... I see. It's a bit cramped not to be able to use it freely. That's all right. Just wipe your body with a cloth.

With these words, Mirwa turned his gaze around again.

"......What is that?"

The man who was driving the boat looked in the direction she pointed and opened his mouth.

"That's a well."

"The well ......"

"Oh. If you want a drink of water, you can take water from there.

"Are there any other wells?"

That's the only place.

"How ......"

Mirwa's expression changed to one of vulgarity. She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. .......
