A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 104: (2)

Thanks to his well-trained body, Kaiyan was able to expel the severe dizziness he had been feeling. This happened right in the Imperial Palace.

If youre feeling too rough, would you like a potion?

The mage who had drawn a magic circle, sensing Kaiyans pitiful state, offered him a potion.

Would a potion help with dizziness?

It may not help significantly, but its better than not having one. Please, trust me and have it.

Then, Ill gladly accept it.

Kaiyan took the potion from the mage and swallowed it in one go, awakening his senses that were descending into darkness, with the unforgettable terrible taste of the potion.

Ugh!

How are you feeling? Did it help?

The mage, as if expecting such a reaction, smiled knowingly.

Thanks to you, the dizziness has disappeared. I appreciate it.

Haha, dont mention it. We have plenty of options, so if you need more, just let me know.

The mage extended the offer with a sunny smile and handed over more potions as if saying Kaiyan could take them if needed.

Why is it that every mage I meet seems a bit off?

From the Lich to Adolph, who just spoke his piece and left when he first met him. And now, this guy. None of them seem entirely normal.

But despite that, Kaiyans condition improved, so he took a deep breath and got up from his seat. The mage who had been smiling at him suddenly spoke.

Pheew! Ah, I apologize. Ahem! Lord Markain can simply go ahead As for you, youre leaving the palace, correct?

Yes, thats correct.

In that case Ah, come over here for a moment.

The mage wandered around for a bit, then with a puzzled expression, called out to a man who was watching Kaiyan with wide eyes.

Hamun, would you come here?

Hamun, do you mean me? But my name is Naylon.

Yes, youre Naylon.

Then, who is that Hamun?

Naylon, the man referred to as Hamun at first, asked with an awkward smile.

Oh! Are you in charge of the magic circle maintenance today?

Yes!

Well, I will look for someone else to report. So, you can guide him.

Alright! Got it! Hehe.

Was that a good thing? He seemed so happy.

After bidding farewell to Linda and exchanging short pleasantries, he followed the apprentice mage, who looked like he was in charge of maintaining magic circles, out of the palace.

If I may ask Are you a noble?

As Kaiyan admired the beautiful appearance of the palace and glanced around, the mage who had been leading the way started a conversation.

No, I am not. I am a mercenary.

As I suspected. Oh! What I said earlier was just to lighten the mood. By the way, what I mentioned earlier is a secret to the nobles here.

You dont have to worry.

The mage, who seemed somewhat carefree from the beginning, did not act much differently from what Kaiyan expected. He glanced around to see if anyone was listening before approaching Kaiyan.

Then, this must be your first time using the teleportation magic circle?

Yes, as you saw earlier I never imagined it would be so dizzying.

Thinking about it again, the dizziness that had subsided returned.

However, the mage looked at Kaiyan as if he were envying his condition.

Still, I envy you. Ive never used it before. Ive only seen others use it.

Well, if I may, Id recommend not using it. I really dont want to use it again, ever.

Is that so? Ah, weve arrived. Now, once we cross over there, we can leave the Imperial City.

As they were talking and walking, they reached the outside of a building. The mage pointed to a massive wall with his hand.

Is that the inner wall? Not the outer wall?

The scale and size of the wall far surpassed the outer wall of the Carsia Castle. No, it was embarrassing to even compare them. The height of the wall was so great that the soldiers on top of it looked smaller than fingers.

Its the inner wall. It seems youre visiting the capital for the first time.

Yes, this is my first visit. Originally, Im from the Menislan Kingdom

Haha! I see. In that case, I recommend spending a few days in the capital. The Imperial City of Venetia in the Mareon Empire is famous for its beauty on the continent of Eunasia.

Venetia if circumstances permit, I will definitely do that.

As they continued their conversation, they eventually reached a grandly decorated city gate beneath the enormous city wall.

Are you going outside?

Yes, this gentleman is going outside. Heres the permit.

A permit to go outside? Is this really the Imperial City?

When the mage handed a piece of paper to a knight with a stern expression, the knight, who had only glanced at Kaiyans face, nodded.

Its confirmed. You may leave.

Yes, I understand.

As the knight returned to his position with the soldiers, the mage looked at Kaiyan.

Now you can go outside.

I see. Thank you for guiding me this far. Well

Oh! By any chance, if you plan to explore the capital, I recommend visiting the Magic Tower in the west of the city. You can see many fascinating magical artifacts there.

Yes, I understand.

After expressing his gratitude to the kind mage, Kaiyan passed by the knights and soldiers and stepped outside the city gate. The noise outside was deafening, a stark contrast to the tranquility inside the Imperial City.

There are so many people.

While it was common to see crowds in front of the inner city, Venetia seemed different, either due to its uniqueness or the sheer number of people. The bustling atmosphere almost reminded Kaiyan of a mercenary guilds brunch.

Well then, lets go Oh! Rieka!

Only then did Rieka, who was in a different dimension, come to mind, and Kaiyan quickly opened the entrance to her dimension.

[Puha! I thought I was going to die because of that black meanie! Why did it take you so long?!]

Rieka emerged from the portal with her fluffy white fur soaking wet as if she had been bathed.

Huh? Oh, it seems there are more people in Venetia than I expected. Thats why I called you as soon as I got outside.

[Really?]

Rieka looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then turned her head towards the noise coming from the street.

[Wow! There are so many people! Its definitely a capital city!]

Yes, this is the Imperial City of the Mareon Empire, Venetia. Thanks to Linda, Ive saved a lot of time.

When Kaiyan had asked Viscount Karian earlier, he had mentioned that it would take a little over a month to ride from the Markain Territory to the capital city. But now, they had reached this place in just one minute.

I thought I was wasting time but Ive actually taken a shortcut.

[Now, are you really going to Vantigas?]

Yes, I have to go to Vantigas. Im really curious about whats there.

Kaiyan couldnt help but think about the place that Hoslian mentioned in the notes every time he fell asleep. What kind of secret was hidden there?

Lets go.
