A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 57: Carriage

I know you said we arent far but how long until we get to Halekuwait?

Halekuwait? This carriage is heading for Artemias.

Huh?

Its the right direction but you have to pass through Artemias if you want to go to Halekuwait. Otherwise its considered illegal immigration?

Ok but how would they know?

We cant, if we dont do things properly something terrible would happen later.

As in?

The school cant admit illegal immigrants so if youre found out youll be kicked out of the school.

Thats annoying

What kind of country is Artemias?

It is a country that prospers based on its own technology called trifar. Its know as the fortress and considered a great power but, there are a lot of rumors surrounding it.

Trifar? Toa again.

It is a technology that creates magic tools. Its said that the huge wall that surrounds the city of Artemias was also constructed using this technology. There are magic tools all over the world, but it is said that the magic tools produced by Trifar are advanced and far surpass ones not made with the same technology.

Oh we should buy some then, I have money.

Thats not possible.

Not possible?

No, any information about Trifar, techniques, or tools are forbidden from being taken outside the country.

So, they dont sell them.

They sell them at specialty shops, but when you try to leave the country everything is inspected and the tools are confiscated.

I could just put them in my storage then?

So what happens if you do take them out of the country?

Artemias is a strict country, that would result in the death penalty.

Strict?

Yes. That said, it means that everything is cared for. By paying taxes, the people are guaranteed a certain standard of living, such as treatment for illness and injury. The same is true for foreigners such as adventurers and merchants who visit this country. Any problems that occur during your stay will be taken care of in exchange for the money spent while youre here.. For example, in the event of theft, all damages will be covered from the entry fee.

What a nice place.

It is, although all criminals are executed without question.

Executed? Is the a metaphor from something?

No, theyre killed.

So in otherwords they monopolize the technology?

You can think of it that way, but its not really because they sell it at a high price to other countries.

Is that it?

I turned to look at the sound of Toas voice.

Yes. Thats the fortified city Artemias

Its bigger than I thought it would be.

Its big! Nem was excited. Apparently only Sierra had seen it before.

It seems like my other worldly adventure had finally begun, I was thoroughly impressed.

A strong breeze kicked up and from far a way I heard a screeching sound.

Can you hear something? The other too are also curious. Whats that noise?

I dont know this smell. Nems nose was twitching.

Look! A carriage is coming!

A carriage was approaching at a breakneck pace from the left. Furthermore in the sky behind it something insane was following it.

Whats that in the sky? I asked squinting.

Dragon! Nem cried.

Go! If we continue like this its going to crash into us!

Hold on!

The carriage driver applied the brakes bringing it to a stop.

Masamune, I can see the dragon!

Yeah. Theres no way you could possibly mistake it.

With a sandstorm being kicked up behind it its powerful wings held its gaint body aloft. Red scales covered its body making it look like a living aeroplane.

It looks like its chasing that luxury carriage. I wonder why.

Luxury carriage?

Sierra leans out and stares into the distance.

Thats.!

What?

Thats the Artemias familys cost of arms!

So, thats someone important?

It displays status from the exterior, like for the king.

Masamune, if this goes on that carriage is going to be

The opponent is a dragon, those guys are dead. Its like Im dreaming.

Is it possible to save them?

Save them?

Sierra are you serious?

No way! Master could get hurt!

Nem was worried about me.

Toa can you see its status?

Yeah. Sierra, Masamune and I can see the status of monsters, its over level 300.

Wha! Sierra was in shock.

In addition, it even has a cute name Hardy de Stein Van Gogh. The monsters Ive met so far didnt have a name.

Thats because dragons arent monsters. Dragons have a certain level of intelligence and understand human languages. Is this your first time seeing one?

Of course it is.

Dragons are at the top of the food chain. Ive read that they have the magical power of demons while having the physical body of beast people.

Sierras eyes were shining, it might be her first time seeing one as well.

So youre glad you came?

..

Sierra looked down blushing.

Yes! She soon answered with a big smile.

So if the royal family is in that carriage. Do you think if I help them theyll let me have it?

You have a strange hobby. Toa said.

No, anythings fine but we are adventurers. We should get a reward.

I guess.

Like trifar.

Masamune, youre a bad person. Trying to balance their lives like that.

Sierra, Im OK with being a bad person but, you want me to save them right?

Huh?

You said so earlier didnt you?

I did say that. Sierra said shyly.

So the reason why I help them shouldnt matter as long as I help them right?

I guess so.

Ok then, Ill be back.

But master, its so big!

My level is twice what the dragons is, plus Im probably faster seeing how he cant even catch the carriage.

Masamune thats a Artemias carriage.

Trifar?

Yeah, it might have something that boosts its speed.

Well, it doesnt change anything. Im going to go kill me a dragon.
