Chapter 119 Town of Knights
Moongold was famous for its great library as one of the few towns that had a library of that scale.
It was maintained by a person that had played a significant role in many of the battles that had happened throughout the era of players, and most of the time, he only did it because there was a great crisis that involved the fate of the world.
He was not the only individual that joined these battles, there were many that do not come out of their 'dwellings' usually but he still played a significant role in them.
He was famous among players, female players especially.
Some of them were crazy about him and though the natives might not know, there was a Cult following of the Librarian.
He was famous, and thanks to him, Moongold was also famous for more than just the great library.
And the mage tower was there as well, so among the many beginner towns around the world, Moongold was pretty popular in general.
Yuta however, was a different story…
"Did you say we will be going to the Archer hall first instead of the Sword hall?"
"There's something I need to pick up there. It shouldn't take long though."
The Town of knights— not many towns in the kingdom held such a unique title.
There were few cities that were dedicated to the knights, but not many towns.
Knight as a path was a diverse and difficult route for the players.
It wasn't limited to the knights that used a sword… a knight of <NO> was a symbol of chivalry, honor, strength, and their own Codes.
Even if the paths that they follow might be different, even if the Truth that they believe in is different, a True knight was a Class that was a Symbol above anything else.
To become a true knight one had to overcome numerous trials, earn the achievements and acknowledgments of the authorities, people, and the world, and only after one proved themselves Worthy of this honor, is when the System granted them the unique position of a Knight.
"Sword made from the highest quality steel! Grab the once in a lifetime opportunity to wield the sword made by an advanced blacksmith!"
"Look here! Madam! Sir! Have you ever seen a shield as shiny as this one~? Surely it resembles the one that the hero used to defeat the great serpent headed witch!"
"And here comes the shield hero! Betrayed! Forsaken by the world! See for yourself the rise of the great hero of shields!"
"A spear for the windriders! A spear for the great heavenly spearman!"
If there is a civilization, there is bound to be a market present there.
Trade was one of the primordial arts that originated when the mortals understood the eternal and unquenching needs for various resources that they possessed.
This need never quenched, and till this day, a market was what those who understood it called the face representing the entirety of the civilization, Culture, or society.
And in the town that was filled with knight prospects, those who willingly wanted to walk down the difficult path of the knights, it was obvious that most of the vendors and the shops would sell things that they either needed or would need in their journey towards chivalry.
"Mom! Mom! Look over there! There's a pretty looking monkey!"
"Muuu!"
"Miu~!"
The children were having fun looking down at the various things present in the market. And the elders who were seeing the slime, the little girl and the pretty bird were all quite happy.
This was not a normal sight in the town of the knights. There weren't many children walking down the streets here since most of those who were born here or were raised here inherently either wanted to become a knight or wanted to become someone that could be respected even more than the knights.
At the age of Misha, they would leave the town on their own or would join the knight hall that they wanted to follow and start learning more about what was the main use of the weapons that they wanted to use in their following life.
This was something very unique to this town and the towns like this one so the people who saw the happy girl that in fact was acting like the children her age should, they couldn't help but smile unknowingly.
Of course, unless one was a jerk or a tsun tsun, they would surely smile at the girl and the little creatures that were with her.
"Oooh! Mommy, look!" Misha squealed, her finger poking excitedly towards the building. "A castle!"
Her mom smiled, a gentle warmth in her eyes. "Not quite a castle, sweetheart," she explained. "That grand building there is actually the main hall for all the knights who protect Yuta."
Misha's eyes widened even further with a new spark when she heard it.
Right in the heart of Yuta, a magnificent structure dominated the landscape. It looked just like the fantastical castles she'd seen in picture books, with pointed towers reaching for the clouds. The walls were built from a unique kind of brick, and balconies and grand windows adorned its sides.
Instead of the city of Kalp that was the center of the viscounty and the entire southwestern region, Yuta was known as the central base of all the knights.
Moongold, on the other hand, was not the central hub for the mages.
That position belonged to a completely different town that was not part of the viscounty.
"We have to go this way, come."
"Yei~!"
They were going to the archer's hall for now, but they were going to go to the many other halls that the main association was divided into to see, and observe the knights.
Alex did not want Miss Rin to specifically become a knight, but seeing these people will surely help her decide on the path that she wanted to walk on going forward.
Of course though, she had her own unique agenda for bringing all of them to this place.
"Elio, wanna do an archery competition?"
"...?"
They were nearing their destination, so when she said that, Elio instantly figured out why she had brought all of them to this place even though 'picking' something up could have been done at any different time.
"You were after this all along, hun?"
They did not know it yet, but Elio had learned some archery in his younger days. And this partner of his had exploited every single chance she got to force him into showing his Amazing skills.
"It will be fun~. Please say yes~."
"Brother Elio is an archer~? Wow~!"
The new stars in her eyes showed how even this little girl wanted to see him holding a bow and arrow.
"Muuu!"
"Miu~!"
She set him up by bringing all of them there before she revealed her true intentions.
"You're evil, Alexandra."
And now that they were standing before the hall already… he had no choice but to show all of them his great, almost unbelievable skills that he was not proud of.
