Mythical World RPG

Embark on a journey to the Capital of Luxurie

"But one thing I want to remind you. Don't tell anyone that you have sold this shop to me. If someone asks where you got that much money, just say you got a loan from another moneylender. If you can't cover it anymore, "said Satria.

"Yes, sir," replied Miria.

"After this, I will immediately leave for the Capital. Do you guys know how long it will take to get to the Capital?" asked Satria.

"In the past, my husband used to take three days to get to the Capital by horse-drawn carriage. But if you walk, it will take much longer," Miria replied.

"Oh yeah, while I'm away, I want you to start your work, Lixia. I want you to forge it into a knife, but if there are other customers, then work on theirs first," said Satria while handing a Leviathan fang which was still intact. While the other he intends to forge in the Capital later.

"Y-yes, sir," Lixia replied. There was doubt on his face whether she could forge it or not, but Satria did it on purpose to increase Lixia's skills. He wanted to know how far Lixia could progress while he was away.

"Then I'll go first. Tell the loan sharks that you will only pay the interest again in one month. I'm sure they have no reason to refuse your request if they get that much money, "said Satria as he turned around.

"Um.. sir, why do you believe in handing this much money to us?" Miria asked when Satria had turned to leave.

"I never easily trust other people anymore. That's why I want to know how far I can trust you. So I hope you also don't just believe me because trust is like a double-edged sword, "said Satria. But suddenly, from outside the shop heard someone knocking.

"Lixia!" There was a woman's scream from outside the shop. For a moment, Satria was stunned because it felt like she had heard that voice before.

"Eh, Trixi," said Lixia from inside the shop. Satria finally realized that it was indeed Trixi's voice. The three of them went straight to the shop and opened the door.

"Ara, Satria is still here?" Trixi said in shock. Alexa also seemed to be standing beside Trixi.

"So you guys come here often?" asked Satria.

"Sure, Lixia is my friend. As usual, after work, we immediately stopped by here," replied Trixi while giving Lixia a food gift.

"Today, I brought you special bread. Try it. It will be delicious," Trixi said with a smile.

"I see, so this is a true form of friendship. No wonder Trixi recommended this shop even though she knew it was of poor quality, but her goal was to help her friend in need. Is there a bond like this in the real world too?" Satria thought.

"Thank you so much, Trixi. We always bother you," Lixia said.

"It's okay. You guys often help me repair equipment after all," Trixi replied.

"What a coincidence. Today I will head straight to the Luxurie Capital as little activity is there. When my identity card comes later, I want you to save it first, Alexa," said Satria while looking at Alexa, who looked back at him.

"Okay, be careful on the road," said Alexa.

"Eh.. even though he's a beginner, he seems very busy," said Trixi.

"Oh yeah, he said he wanted to forge weapons. Did you guys accept it?" Trixi asked, looking at Miria.

"We accepted, even though we said Lixia's forging quality is still poor," Miria replied while pointing at Leviathan's fangs inside the shop.

"What fangs are those? I feel like I've seen it before," Alexa thought.

Meanwhile, Satria continued to walk in Lunar City, looking for a horse carriage that wanted to go to the city. After searching several places, he finally found a merchant who wanted to go to the Capital. After negotiating the price, Satria was finally allowed to join his horse-drawn carriage group by paying two gold coins and ten silver coins.

Satria's goal in the Capital is none other than the Luxurie Dungeon, he intends to defeat as many monsters as possible and sell them or their drop item to monster collectors, so he will quickly be able to collect money to pay off debts to loan sharks. He thought it was more effective than having to kill monsters in quests and sell them to other adventurers. Moreover, he was still worried that other adventurers would suspect him more if he continued to do so.

"Everything is ready. We will leave immediately," the coachman shouted from the merchant group that Satria was riding. At that time, Satria and other residents going to the Capital immediately boarded the typical horse carriage in the fantasy world.

"I hope it doesn't rain," said the grandmother riding in the horse-drawn carriage.

"I was hoping it would rain instead, so there are fewer chances bandits will ambush us," said a middle-aged man.

Satria was just silent, listening to the conversation of the passengers nearby. For him, the only hope he wanted right now was to find traces of the target of his revenge. The sound of galloping horses and the wagon wheels began to ring loudly along with the bodies of the passengers who were shaking because of the carriage where they started walking.

"Three days, huh? It looks like it's going to be pretty dull. Whereas in the game, we can arrive instantly unless there is a player who wants to do PK, a monster is blocking, or there is a specific event, "said Satria.

***

At first, Satria had imagined that three days would be very long because it was boring. However, as the carriage goes, Satria can see various beautiful views of the new world she currently lives in, a typical atmosphere in a fantasy world beyond her imagination. He can see stunning views of mountains, forests, fields, countryside, rivers, and unique animals.

For food problems, horse carriages along the route will usually stop at food stalls in the countryside. They also usually stay in the country they pass through. This is done to avoid bandits, who usually often appear at night. That's why so far, they have survived.

This morning the horse-drawn carriage that Satria was traveling in had returned from the village where they were staying the night. According to the chariot owner, they will soon arrive at the Royal Capital of Luxurie. The horse-drawn carriage started to move on a rather large and tidy road because it was made of solid soil. On the left and right sides of the road, trees lined up neatly, adding to the cool air. Beside the row of trees, an irrigation ditch distributes water for the surrounding plantations.

"It's beautiful. Everything is neatly arranged," Satria thought while looking around him. The other passengers looked surprised because they saw Satria as if it was the first time seeing such a sight.

In the distance, a fortress towered firmly into the sky. The coat of arms of the Luxurie Kingdom, a yellow flag with a white pole with three diamonds in the center, appears to be embedded in each of the fort's watchtowers. Tall buildings can be seen behind the fort. In contrast, at the highest peak of the Capital, the magnificent and enormous Luxurie Royal Palace can be seen with three high towers.

"So this is the Capital. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance to the Luxurie Dungeon is also in the Royal Capital. Could they be here too?" Satria thought while remembering the faces of annoying people who had constantly bullied him at school.

"We'll be at the gate soon! Passengers are welcome to get off because an inspection will be carried out," said the horse-drawn coachman.

"Demi-humans," Satria thought when he saw the two guards at the gates of the Luxurie Capital.

One guard looks big with the head of a buffalo like a minotaur. The other guard is relatively small and has the head of a lion. Most demi-humans are known for their physical strength and stamina because it was very suitable to serve as a gatekeeper like that.

All disembarked buffalo-headed demi-human checked passengers. At the same time, the horse-drawn carriage is inspected by a lion-headed demi-human. Apart from the two of them, several other demi-human soldiers helped check and guard the entrance gate. Satria finally managed to escape the inspection and was allowed to enter.

Step by step, Satria finally set foot in a Royal Capital in the Mythical World RPG game that he had been playing. The bustling and majestic Capital atmosphere were depicted in front of his eyes. He could now see several races that he had never encountered in the real world without the aid of a monitor.

"Elves, for the demi humans, Dragonoids, dwarves, they are real," Satria muttered as he continued to walk on the pretty large streets of the Capital. The soldiers on patrol were seen wearing silver armor with the royal crest engraved on their chests.

"Sir, do you need a guide?" Suddenly a girl's voice was heard nearby.

Satria immediately lowered her head to see a petite female demi-human with cat ears staring at her. Her face and appearance were the same as other humans. Still, the only difference was the cat ears and cattail. There are also two kinds of demi-humans. The first half-animal body is also like a human but has some parts like animals.

"She looks like she's not taken care of," thought Satria when he saw the shabby appearance of the little girl in front of him.

"Looks like I need it," replied Satria.

"It costs three gold coins," said the little girl, twitching her ears.

"That's clearly too expensive," Satria thought. He began to think again about the remaining money now that he had traveled to eat, stay and buy simple clothes. He currently has 50 gold coins, 70 silver coins, and 30 bronze coins in his pocket, if I'm not mistaken.

"Hemh.. it looks like you're the wrong person if you ask that much. Maybe if the price is 50 silver coins, I will accept it," answered Satria.

"I accept," replied the little girl quickly. Satria looks surprised. Again it seems that the price is still high.

"Okay," said Satria as he took the money in the cloth he kept under his shirt.

"Here's your money. Now take me to the nearest blacksmith," continued Satria while handing 50 silver coins to the little girl, who immediately put them into the cloth where the money was.

"Please, sir, follow me," said the little girl as she walked in front. Satria immediately followed him from behind. The two of them continued walking through the crowd. Then the little girl began to lead Satria through the small and narrow alleys between the buildings that stood.

"Eh, aren't we going through the main route?" asked Satria while looking around him.

"This is the fastest way, sir because if you go through the main route, it will be much longer," replied the little cat-eared girl.

The two of them continued to walk in the small and narrow alleys until finally, the little girl stopped when in front of them, stood five fierce men with sharp weapons in their hands. Behind Satria also suddenly appeared four other men while grinning. Satria is already in their siege.

"Hemh. If this is an event, then this is an event that always makes me bored," muttered Satria. He had been suspicious of the catgirl who led him from the start, for Satria's trust was a very precious thing that he could not just pin to someone.

"Hey, sir, it looks like you have a lot of money," said a man who was in front of Satria. He immediately walked while playing with his knife. In front of him, the little cat ear girl immediately pushed aside until her body hit the wall, but the catgirl didn't seem angry and just looked down.
