Shadow Monarch in Tensura

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Dwargon

"It's going to take around three days to arrive in Dwargon if we run at full speed," Chronoa said after we left Blumund.

I registered as an adventurer two days ago and spent a whole day just going around and exploring the city.

While a tiny Kingdom, there were still a lot of things I found interesting. Mostly the magical items, so I'm even more excited about going to Dwargon.

The Warrior Nation of Dwargon, or the Dwarf Kingdom, is located inside the huge mountains in the north of the connecting, and they are known for their manufacturing and handicrafts.

I want to see if I could get my hands on some books about craftsmanship while I'm there.

Money isn't a problem for me, Mom was generous in giving me a lot when I asked, and I haven't had anything to spend it on over the past few months, and you can't have too many books.

I should maybe start buying books and make my own personal library...

"You're drolling..." I heard Chronoa say, and I snapped out of my fantasy about having a library the size of Blumund.

I quickly wiped the drool and avoided eye contact.

"Let me guess, you were thinking about books?" She asked.

"No..." I replied, still avoiding eye contact, "How did you guess?" I asked quietly.

"There are only two things it could have been, but as of right now, it can only be that one." She answered with a chuckle.

"And what is the other one?" I asked, curious about what it could be.

"Not telling you." She said and chuckled more.

"Oh, come on, tell me..." I grumbled as we walked.

"Nope." She chuckled.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye as we arrived in the Capital of Dwargon.

Dwargon is a nation that utilizes free trade and is the center of trade between all kinds of races. Therefore, the nation keeps a policy of absolute neutrality, and violence is prohibited. Even the Eastern Empire avoids open aggression towards them.

As we walked through the city's busy streets, I could imagine my eyes sparkling as I looked at all the trinkets, weapons, and armor on display.

At moments like this, I truly acted like a kid.

Oh, what is that? I wondered, seeing a glove with six stones.

I stopped to marvel at the glove. It was made out of what looked like black silk and was embroidered with golden thread. The six stones were all in different colors; the first was blue, the second red, the third purple, the fourth yellow, the fifth green, and the sixth was orange.

On closer inspection, all the stones had what looked like runes engraved into them, each being different from the others.

Wanting to know what the glove did, I looked at the name tag to be disappointed. It was a normal fingerless glove without any special effects.

I sighed, "It could have at least some magic element to it..." I sighed and continued looking around the city.

I looked through different swords, and I must say that the weapons found in Dwargon are on a whole completely different level, but I already got attached to my sword, and I won't cheat on it with these.

But now then, to the real reason I'm here alone... I need to find the Butterflies of the Night... I'm maybe barely eleven years old, but I want to see some Elves.
