After a farewell with Robin, I arrive at Bredon Port.

It’s a Port made to look like the 1700s, when pirates are at their golden age, and true to its era of inspiration, the port is filled with bars, people wearing old clothes similar to those of in the past, hell I even saw some what I would guess, some female “entertainers” holding hand in hand with some of the guys who dressed oddly modern.

Now that I think about it, I guess in a way NPCs are like those robot helpers a rich person got that I’ve seen in movies before.

I began to walk across the port and began to get some information.

“Sorry, but I have no idea what you are looking for.”

“Nope, not a damn clue.”

“Apologies, I don’t have the information you need”

After walking around for a while asking how to get to what’s essentially Rome from what I’ve heard of. Doesn’t even hide the fact that almost all people here are NPC who is programmed to stay in this port as an assistant to travelers, while the humans are either snobbish asshole who wants me to lick their boots just to get a simple answer to my question, while the others just genuinely don’t know anything.

I sat at the bench looking at the shore where a massive ocean is across me, and there I can see some of the islands.

I squint my eyes, to see some locations, and then I notice something.

I get up from my seat and see a nearby fisherman. I walk up to him and ask.

“Sir, can I borrow your telescope?”

“Hmm? Oh, sure, here you go.”

The Kind Fisherman hand me his telescope, and after looking through it, I try to find the thing I’d seen.

After a couple of moments of looking and zooming the scope, I finally have a big picture of it.

I saw a big Japanese Castle, and looking over it, I became curious.

“Hey, Uncle, what is that big Japanese Castle over there?”

I ask the old man while still looking at it through the scope.

“Oh, that? It’s the castle of the second Capital in SE.RA.PH, the Millennium Castle.”

The Fisherman answered my question, and after hearing that, I took the scope and give it back to him. After pondering for a while, I ask the guy.

“Hey, who lives in there?”

“Oh, it’s the fox priestess, who lives in there, the wife of the sovereign, at least from what I heard.”

“Does the Sovereign stay there?”

“Sometimes, I think I heard that she is in there a few weeks ago, to stay for a while.”

“Thanks for the information.”

After giving my thanks, I walk away from the fisherman, if there’s a chance of the Sovereign will be living there, I’ve got to take that chance, even if it’s little, I should still take it.

Plus, I miss being able to live in a Japanese-like town, it’s been quite a long time since I’ve been to Japan.

After making my decision, I’ve decided to ask some of the couriers, if there’s a chance, I would like to get a free ride to the Millennium Capital. But for some reason, many people here are afraid to get to the Millennium Castle, I’ve asked why and they answered that the ruler of that city is not bad but very picky and sometimes can be very, very selfish.
