Special Chapter: IBTMITL

Chapter 275

After hurriedly washing and getting ready, the ship was just entering the port.

"It's really Luman."

I muttered as I leaned against the railing on the deck.

I couldn't believe that the center of the East, Luman, which I always heard from the type above the report and the stories of people around me, was spread out in front of my eyes.

"Pretty."

It was exactly what Avinox once told me.

White buildings with blue and red roofs on their tops, people dressed in colorful patterns, and narrow alleys tangled like spider webs blended together like a painting.

And there was something that made the scene even more perfect.

It was the joyful singing voice of the port workers waiting to unload the cruise ship.

Splash Splash

Is it the sound of waves or the sound of rowing?

Is it the sound of footsteps coming back, my dear, who has gone far?

As Avinox said, it was an Eastern tradition to play music and sing along the shore while waiting for the return of the family who went out to sea.

Even when I first heard the Eastern folk song, which was exciting but somewhat sad, it was familiar and friendly to my ears.

I was singing along to the song without realizing it, but Perez approached me and admired me briefly.

"It's incomparable to what it was a few years ago."

"Does that mean that it has prospered that much?"

"Yes. If it wasn't for the cruise's destination, it was anchored incorrectly in another city. You might have thought that."

What was Luman like before the Eastern trade began?

Was it a small city with a much more secluded and beautiful seaside than it is now?

I suddenly became curious.

Perhaps he had read my thoughts, but Perez, who hugged me tightly from behind, kissed my head and informed me.

"There were not as many large dams as there are now. There were only a couple of them for trade with the eastern continent. The area over there with a lot of warehouses was a stony, empty plain, and there were quite a few restaurants near the harbor."

"What about that big building up there? It looks a little new, doesn't it?"

"Hmm. It was originally a residential area. A lot has changed."

"Wow, that's really cool."

"It seems that there are many restaurants and inns along the harbor. How about leaving after having a meal over there, Tia?"

There are usually many restaurants near the stations and ports.

I nodded quickly.

"Let's have a meal and go to the Luman branch of Pellet Corporation in the port. From there, we will be traveling in a carriage for a few more hours."

We have arrived in Luman, but our journey is not over yet.

There is a real destination.

Perez quietly listened to my explanation and replied with a smile.

"Wherever, wherever you go, Tia."

After filling up our stomachs at a restaurant we accidentally entered, we headed to the pellet store.
