Chapter 69 River City

Whish!

Alex cuts Ogura's head from his body while praising himself at the same time.

"You really did well for not hitting this bloke in the face, self!"

"Thanks to that, his head can still be used to earn some pocket money."

Alex really felt glad that he only punched Ogura on his body.

If it was the face that he attacked… Well, there will probably be no longer any head on that burly body by that time.

After finishing that, Alex stored the head in his inventory and finally continued his travels with Ferri.

While riding on Ferri's back, Alex is looking at the map that he bought from the Adventurer's Guild the other day.

"Hmm, since we already passed the Bokunat Village, the next place on the map is… River City."

"River City is quite a distance away from here."

"At our current speed, we should be able to arrive there by noon tomorrow."

Alex threw back the map inside his inventory and relaxed himself.

Alex's travel is actually quite carefree and that is all thanks to Ferri.

Rubbing Ferri's fur, Alex said, "Bringing you with me was really a great idea."

"From now on, I'll try to take you with me everytime I travel!"

To Alex's words, Ferri didn't react.

Alex didn't care and just closed his eyes, waiting for time to pass by.

…

Bukonat Village.

In one of the many dilapidated houses in this village, there lives two brothers with parents or relatives.

Those two are Momoy and Kokoy.

Between the two brothers, Momoy is the older one and also the smartest.

Meanwhile, Kokoy is a little simple minded but has a powerful body.

Like everyone else in the village, the two also haven't activated their 'World System'.

At this time, those two are inside their house with a dazed look on their faces.

After a long silence, Kokoy couldn't take it anymore and said, "Brother… that guy from earlier, he is really powerful, isn't he?"

Momoy didn't seem to hear the words that Kokoy just said and continued sitting there in a daze.

A few seconds later, Momoy finally reacted to them.

Opening his mouth, he said, "Yes, that guy is a really powerful man."

"I guess we were pretty lucky that he didn't kill us as soon as he saw us, don't you think?"

Kokoy nodded, agreeing to Momoy's words.

Remembering the time when Alex met him back at Alex's camping site, Kokoy shivered.

"Fortunately, when he first saw me, he didn't immediately attack me and listened to what I have to say or else, we're probably both dead by now."

Momoy nodded.

Sighing, he said, "It would be great if we can follow someone like him."

Momoy's wishful words echoed inside their small house followed by a deep sigh.

…

Alex traveled for the whole day without any more surprise.

When the night arrived, Alex and Ferri finally stopped for the day and prepared their camp.

Just like yesterday, after finding a good location, Alex started a fire, placed his tent as well as his other things.

Alex and Ferri ate dinner quietly while watching some movies.

After that, it's now time for them to go to sleep.

Looking at Ferri, Alex said, "I'll depend on you to watch over our surroundings for the night again, Ferri."

"Woof!"

Alex entered the tent and Ferri also laid down beside the fire.

Soon enough, Alex comfortably drifted off to sleep.

The next day, when the sun had just risen.

Alex is already up and preparing to set out.

"By noon, we should arrive at River City today."

"I can also hand in Ogura's head in the Adventurer's Guild there."

"Well then, let's head out!"

After that he ate breakfast, Alex packed his things and immediately set out on the road with Ferri.

This time, the journey was smooth and there were no unexpected situations.

After traveling for a couple of hours, Alex soon caught sight of a city in the distance.

Squinting his eyes, Alex smiled, "That should be River City. I didn't expect it to be that big!"

Patting Ferri, Alex said, "Let's hurry up so that you can rest in the city."

Hearing that, Ferri suddenly sped up greatly!

Alex can hear the harsh wind brushing pass his ears because of how fast they are going.

But that wasn't probably to someone like Alex with monstrously high stats.

As for Ferri, well, he wasn't even affected by it because he himself is the wind!

Not long after, the two arrived outside River City.

When they got there, Alex immediately noticed the huge city wall that looked to be tens of meters in height!

Looking at it, Alex exclaimed, "Woah, that city wall is huge!"

"Compared to the one at Kupido Town, this one is many times bigger!"

Because of how big it is, Alex can't help but wonder how this city wall was made.

"It should be with the help of magic, right?"

Magic is not only something that can be used to harm others.

It's also something that can greatly help people in multiple things even in their day to day life!

That's why, a lot of people are envious of those with class on the magic path.

They can enjoy the convenience of magic with just a wave of their hands.

And this became the reason for the creation called, Magic Items!

Magic items are items that can be used even by the common people to use magic.

For example, the Image Crystal that Alex first saw when he bought a property in Golden House.

By using a little bit of mana, Kara was able to use it to show Alex the images that's been saved in it.

Thanks to that, she doesn't have to go out and personally go to the property just to let the buyer see it.

Because of this, magic items are really popular because of the convenience they bring to people's lives.

…

Alex fell in line at the entrance to River City.

The inspection process is pretty fast and it didn't take long before it's Alex's turn.

"Please show any proof of identity. If you don't have one, you can go to the side and pay for an entrance fee."
