CH 384
The capital of Gnomstoll Kingdom had a cityscape different from any other country in the continent.
Firstly, in the artisanal districts where sturdy stone buildings lined the the streets, smoke billowed here and there.
The main streets were paved in stone, wagons carrying ore and stone travelled back and forth on it.. Stalls of all sorts lined both sides of the main street, the scents of strong spices and condiments wafting all around.
「……it sure is colorful……not.」
「Indeed. It’s all the color of stone and earth.」
「Still, the city has pretty buildings.」
「Though imperfect, it seems they were somehow able to develop magic formations.」
Every building was impressive because it was the Gnomstollan capital, but their colors were uniform at best. To put it bluntly, they were horribly plain. Of course, there were also plenty of good points as well. The sanitation in the Gnomstollan capital was not inferior to that in Valkyra Kingdom. As could be expected from the Gnomstollan Capital which boasts of its high technological prowess, Purifier MDs for water and sewer systems as well as Toilet MDs were also popular here.
Actually, the magic devices they used to purify their sewers and toilets were not imported from the Papeck Company. Gnomstoll Kingdom, which had imported the magic devices I made from Volton Kingdom, had developed something similar.
As a result, Purifier MDs and Toilet MDs were popularized in the Gnomstollan Capital.
Well, according to Golan-san, it was still at a level far off from the original, but it seemed as though their Dwarven Pride would not allow them to use something created by humans. Golan-san laughed scornfully.
Technical experts of Gnomstoll Kingdom had imitated the Purifier MD I created, but they were unable to make a perfect copy of the purification magic formula.
Just in case, the core of the magic formula was transformed into a black box, so when it’s forcibly disassembled, the magic formula drawn into the magic device vanishes.
Even so, performance aside, I’m not sure whether to praise the Dwarves for being able to create it somehow or to mourn over their pointless pride at being unable to accept the craft of other people honestly……
「Master! Spiiiicy!」
「Here, drink water.」
Kaede who ate grilled skewers bought from a stall whined about its flavor. In the Gnomstollan Capital, the food stalls stood out in comparison to those in other countries. However, the common traits shared by many of the stalls was their heavy usage of spices and spicy food.
「So Dwarves don’t get tired of this, huh.」
「Seriously. I think it’s better even in India.」
「What is Indya nya?」
Maria didn’t seem to be getting used to the flavors in this country. Akane also said she wasn’t good with spicy food. Also, no one would know what she meant even if she says India. Stop confusing Lulu-chan.
「Ooh! As expected, the level of their armaments are high.」
「Yes, all of them are above a certain level.」
「……H~mmm」
Next, we went to the weapons shop that Golan-san told us about. As to be expected of the Dwarven Nation, it was evident that the swords were all above a certain level. For my salaryman self to become able to tell such things, I had become quite the connoisseur.
Unlike Sophia, Laeva, and I who were looking at the weapons and armor in the shop with great interest, Akane and Marnie seemed bored.
「……we’ll go to the market next, so wait a bit.」
「It’s fiiiine~ Take your time browsiiiiing~」
Well, it couldn’t be helped that Akane and Marnie were bored. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but the weapons and armor I gave them were far better than these. If they look at iron swords and chest plates now, it wouldn’t interest them at all.
Sophia likes simple swords, but when Laeva and I look at the works created by other people, it was motivation and reference for us, so there was a lot of things for us to see even if it was just an iron sword.
The weapons and armor created by dwarven masters wouldn’t be shown to a group of foreign first-time customers, so we were pulled into a large market by Akane and Kaede who were bored as hell.
「Hey hey! Buy those fruits too.」
「Dear Husband, that is our firs time seeing those vegetables. Let’s buy a bit of it.」
「Ah! There’s a lot of spices!」
「Akane-sama! Akane-sama! Meat nya! They’re selling meat nya!」
Akane who was bored out of her mind at the weapon store was looking at rare fruits to buy, and Marnie bought all kinds of veggies she’s seeing for the first time. Lulu-chan got all hyped up about the large clumps of meat from who knows what.
「I wonder if the magic device shops would be too much for today.」
「Laeva and I will come join you tomorrow.」
「…… it would seem so.」
It seems it’s already impossible to go to the magic device shop today, so we gave up. Sophia and Laeva said they’d go with me to tomorrow, but I’m getting the impression I’ll be asked to take them to the accessory shops tomorrow……
