"Oh, my..."
"Wow..."
Both Park Deokgu and Jung Hayan looked at the Free City of Lindel with awe plastered on their faces. The executive members of Blue Guild couldn't help but smile at their reactions.
As soon as the western gate opened, we walked into a majestic-looking city.
The basic architectural style seemed to be based on Western culture, and the whole place buzzed with people I knew all came from Earth. Above all, I noticed that the majority of the people had dark hair.
"The Free City of Lindel is where most of the Koreans are located."
"Alas. After that, I heard that people from other countries are also being summoned."
"Yeah. In the case of tutorial dungeons owned by the Holy Empire, the Koreans, Japanese and Taiwanese are being summoned. They too are living with their roots in cities within the Holy Empire. You can also see Japanese and Taiwanese people in Lindel. Because they are from the same district, they live in exchange with each other."
"I see."
True to this fact, I could see Japanese people within the bustling crowds. Even some of the Blue Guild members, I had noted, were Japanese.
"The Republic..."
"The Chinese and Russians are being summoned."
Still, it felt better being summoned here than there. I looked around again and let the bustling scenery please my eyes. There were multiple stalls with their respective owners, and I could even see a party going out to hunt.
"I'm looking for a priest."
"I'm looking for a priest to go hunting with."
"Who wants this? It's a rare, one-of-a-kind item!"
Even the main square reminded me of reality. The whole city made me feel like I was back on Earth, albeit a different time period.
This was probably the reason why Park Deokgu and Jung Hayan kept looking around in awe. There were no high-rise buildings. Instead, the infrastructures had an antique and rustic touch. I could see gorgeously-decorated shops and restaurants with people eating out on the terraces.
It didn't feel like I was in another world. It felt like I had gone overseas. Laughter erupted from the crowds of people, and I caught a hint of a language I did not understand.
Of course, the city wasn't all just riches and glory.
"Hmm... There are also slums."
"Yeah..."
In the direction opposite of where we were supposed to go, I caught sight of rundown buildings and people wearing clothing of less quality than the rest. I couldn't see enough to observe how they lived from this distance, but I could already guess what it was like.
Even the gap between the rich and the poor existed here.
"The city has its own welfare policies, but its effects are insignificant, as you can see."
"Ah. No wonder."
It had nothing to do with me, so I shook my head and averted my gaze.
As we left the entrance and passed through the plaza, a large building came into view. Lee Sang-hee, who had been looking at Park Deokgu's awed expression, smiled.
"Welcome to the Blue Guild."
"Oh! Oh, my!"
The Blue Guild owned a building that was of a larger scale than I was expecting. It did not appear to be a guild that was facing the possibility of ruination. I could think of why, though. They might be more peculiar with their appearances, especially now that their status was sinking.
