Stolitsa City was vast compared to Danem City. All the streets that Kin could see were buzzed with both players and NPCs. Some of the players seen by Kin were using high-level equipment. Kin realized that this city was indeed the capital of a kingdom, so it was not strange that many high-level players used this city as their base. No players were walking through the streets of this city who looked like low-level players.

In general, players who come to this city are high-level players who are looking for quests directly from the kingdom. But still, there were some new players in this city. They were players who wanted to change jobs to swordsman, archer, or defender. For new players who change jobs to those jobs, they need to train with the city's soldiers until they reach level 100 and get quests to go to various other areas.

Therefore, it is rare for players under level 100 to walk around in the city without any city's soldiers. Because every soldier in every city has their symbol Kin also Clark used equipment with symbols from Danem City to make them stand out. Players started to pay attention to Kin and Clark. Realizing that they were starting to be noticed, Kin and Clark started walking down the streets of the city. They tried to ignore the steer from other players who were confused when they saw a player and an NPS using another city symbol mark in his armor. And they were not at the soldier's training ground. Kin and Clark started going into the alleys around the city.

They stopped when they found a place where there weren't too many players or NPCs. Kin looked uncomfortable. "Clark, I'm not used to a crowded and busy environment like this city. I wish we could head to Tzami City right away."

Clark noted in the agreement. "I want that too. I seldom visit this city, Kin. Every time I go to this city it is only to train with the soldiers under the rule of the Royaume kingdom. So the crowd overwhelms me, that's why I have no idea where to merchant or mercenary that heading to Tzami."

Kin started scratching his head after hearing Clakr's answer. "Do you think I will know better than you?"

Clark replied with a bitter smile while crossing his hand, then he gave a suggestion. "At the moment I don't have any definite information, but as far as I know, a lot of groups go to Tzami City from here. Especially merchant groups and they usually hire soldiers, mercenaries or players. I will look for soldiers I know in this city and seek information from them. Meanwhile, can you ask around with the players in this city?"

Kin frowned after hearing Clark's idea. "So you think it's better if we split up?"

"Yes. In 3 hours we'd better gather here again." Kin was about to open his mouth but before he did that, Clark had already left. He immediately went towards the city streets and blended in with the people passing by on the streets.

Kin left alone, and his feet suddenly shook and he started biting his nails. He shut his eyes and tried controlling his breathing. The darkness helped him to focus on controlling his breathing. The more stable his breathing, the more calm he became. After a while, he finally can think straight again.

After Kin was calm enough, he opened Stolitsa city's map and tried to think of a place where he could get information. From the map he read, Kin gave marks at the city notice board, merchant office, adventurer office, and soldier office. The closest to Kin's current location was the city notice board, then the soldier's office, the adventurer's office, and finally the merchant's office. After confirming the road he needed to take, Kin started walking along the streets of Stolitsa city while whispering reassurances to himself.

The streets of Stolista City are very busy and filled with many high-level players. So Kin often getting pushed by these players because the level difference is quite large. With great difficulty, Kin finally arrived in front of the city noticeboard. Kin looked for any announcements or requests related to traveling to Tzami City. Kin checked all the posters but there was nothing related to what he wanted. Kin looked once again and stopped at one of them. The sticker says 'Come to the soldier's office if you want to become a swordsman, archer, or defender'. Kin looked at the patch and thought about it.

Job change... Can I still change jobs? Kin wondered.

Kin left the city noticeboard and walked towards the soldier's office. He arrived in front of statues of a soldier carrying a sword, a shield in the other hand, and a bow hanging on the statue's back. The statue is the size of an adult man and stands to the left and right of a door and above the door there is a stone carved 'Soldier's Office'. Kin pushed open the main door and went inside the soldier's office. A long hallway with stone pillars on each side to the end of the hallway greeted him. At the end of the hall there was a table made of wood and a female soldier looked at Kin. Kin whispered again tried reassurances himself once again before he walked towards the female soldier.

"Afternoon, how can I help you?" Greeted the female soldier.

Kin stuttered answering that simple question. "I... I want to ask about the ... the post on the city notice board... For changing my job to swordsman. How... how can I do it?"

The female soldier leaned a little toward Kin. "You want to become a swordsman? Why are you so scared?"

Kin laughing creepily. "Hahahaha... That's one of the reasons I want to become a swordsman. Ca...can you please explain how?"

"Alright."Answer the soldier with a confused look. Then she continued to explain. "First of all you need to place both of your hands on that crystal ball so I can check your current status." The soldier pointed at a crystal ball next to her desk that supported by a metal stand shaped like several fused deer antlers.

Kin walked towards the crystal ball and placed his hands on it. The soldier stood right in front of Kin and watched the crystal ball. After a few seconds, a gray light appeared from the crystal ball. The soldier noticed it, but she frowning. after seeing the light color.

"You already have a job but you also don't have one." She murmured slowly.

Kin looked at her and raised one of his eyebrows.

"I mean, you currently have a job or are not jobless, but I can't understand your job clearly." The soldier tried to explain it a little further.

"How did you know?" Kin asked.

"If you are jobless, this crystal ball stays dark, so if it glows then you already have a job. And each job will have a different color. Like a swordsman, this crystal ball will emit red light or an archer will emit green light from this crystal ball. Meanwhile, for you, this crystal ball emits light but does not define the job you have."

Kin nodded while listening to the soldier's explanation. "Okay, but if I already have a job, can I still change it?"

"If you want to change your job, you need an item so you will become jobless again, then you can change your."

"If I want to do a double job, is it possible?"

"It's possible but there are certain conditions you have to fulfill or quests that you need to complete."

"Okay, but surely I can't be a swordsman right now?"

"Yeah, for now, you can't."

"Ok, thank you." Kin then walked down the hall and out of the soldier's office.

Like it or not, I have to accept my job as a helper. I need to learn more about this job and how I will develop in the future.

After leaving the soldier's office, Kin walked towards the merchant's office. The merchant's office is the busiest area of ​​the city because it's in the middle of the city market. Even though it is the busiest area of ​​the city, it's not that crowded because every merchant is separated by area categorized with the type of item they sell. They have their store and this area has a fairly large road separating each area. In the middle of the city market, you can see a building with wall carvings in the shape of gold coins. Its door is made of wood with the words 'Merchant's Office' carved on each door which covers almost half of the door. From afar you can see how crowded the building is. Kin walked towards the office and entered it.

It was very busy inside. Kin looked around to find his way. In one corner, there was a board with information, and many people were queuing. Kin joined the line of people queuing. While waiting in line, Kin tried to listen to the conversations of the people around him, hoping to get any information about going to Tzami City.

One of the conversations between the two merchants attracted Kin. "Currently, it is very difficult for me to get supplies from Tzami City. Not many people want to guard the delivery to or from Tzami City."

"What happens? Lots of monsters along the way?"

"If it's just monsters, it's not a problem many players and mercenaries are willing to take them because these monsters can speed up their level and still get paid for their escort services."

"So? The pay is high?"

"The pay is high, you could say it's quite high, but that's not the main reason."

"So why?"

"Rumor said, suddenly many bandits have appeared along the road to Tzami city from every way."

"Haven't there been a lot of bandits on all access to every city? Especially access to a big city?"

"Yes, usually there are. But since 1 month ago, bandits have appeared more frequently. Especially on the access road to Tzami city, it suddenly increased greatly. And the mercenary or players don't want to endanger themself."

"But wasn't there a mercenary group that had just returned after escorting goods from Tzami city? Yohei mercenary group if I'm not mistaken."

"Indeed. But after they got back here they immediately went somewhere. Apart from that, their pay is quite expensive too."

"Well, they're a well-known mercenary group."

While busy listening to the conversation between the two merchants, Kin arrived in front of the information desk.

"Anything I can help?"

"I... I want to get information about anyone that wants to go to Tzami City. If... If there are any, I want to be a bodyguard or accompany them."

"I'll check in a moment."

The information desk employee checked all the documents on her desk and in her drawer.

After she checked all the documents, she said, "Sorry, there is no one who wants to go to Tzami City for the time being. And also from the information I have, no one wants to go there."

"Or you can check at the adventurer's office, maybe there is a group of adventurers who are planning to go to Tzami city or looking for someone to go there."

"Okay thank you," Kin answered while looking at his foot. After getting the information, he left the information desk and then looked for the two merchants who were chatting. He looked here and there but because the merchant's office was so crowded he couldn't find them. Kin tried to leave the merchant's office and look for the two merchants again outside but still couldn't be found.

I have to go to the adventurer's office to get any information. And I need to know if it is true that the current condition is as bad as the two merchants said. But there was Yohei's mercenary group who had just returned from Tzami city. So the condition shouldn't be that bad. I'd better meet with Clark first before going to the adventurer's office.

Kin began to feel uneasy with their plans to go to Tzami City. While walking towards the meeting point, Kin decided to check an auction shop to check out the items he had previously auctioned while he was in Danem City. He found the auction shop and then checked the item he had previously auctioned, 'Black Wolf Skin'. The item was no longer there, meaning it had been sold. Kin then checked the gold he got from the auction. He gaped when he saw '60,000 gold that can be taken from this auction shop'. He checked again the amount written in the auction shop's information.

60,000 gold! Wow, I didn't expect to get this much. What should I do, I have never held this much gold, let alone from one sale.

I don't think black wolf skin is that special.

Then how much can I get from 'Claws of Varulv the Dark Werewolf' or 'Skin of Varulv the Dark Werewolf'?

It seems like I'd better keep those two items for now.

Maybe I will use it for myself or sell it if I need gold.

Kin didn't take the gold and walked back to the meeting point with Clark. He reached the hallway where they agreed to meet. Not long after Kin arrived, Clark also arrived.

Kin asked Clark right after he arrived. "How Clark, what did you get?"

"I get information that currently many bandits are roaming along the road to Tzami city. And the number increased from last month. How about you Kin?"

A sigh came out from Kin. "I also got more or less the same information. Apart from that, I got information that currently no merchants plan to go to Tzami City. Also, there are no mercenaries or players that want to accompany the merchant."

"It seems there is no way we can go to Tzami city?" Clark's knee feels weak and then he squats while his back leaning against a wall.

Kin talked again carefully. "Clark...actually, I received information that there was a group of mercenaries named Yohei that recently made it back to Stolitsa city from Tzami city. But I don't know where they are, besides I'm not sure if they want to accompany us to Tzami city without payment."

"I've heard that mercenary name. They are quite famous for escort work. So what should we do?"

Kin pondered for a moment thinking about other possibilities they could do. He thought of the possibility of using the services of Yohei mercenary. He had some gold from 'Black Wolf Skins'.

Clark stood up. "I don't think we can find any solution while sitting here. How about we go to the adventurer's office first, maybe there's any information we can use or maybe we can meet someone that could help us."

"Okay, let's go there."

Kin and Clark walked back through the streets of Stolitsa city and towards the adventurer's office. Upon reaching the adventurer's office, there was a commotion near the adventurer's office, someone was talking about the goblin attack. Kin tried to listen but couldn't hear clearly.

Was there another goblin attack like in Dorf village?

Because he couldn't hear the information clearly, Kin ignored the commotion. Kin and Clark arrived in front of the adventurer's office. Compared to other offices Kin had previously seen, this place looked like a bar. Where there are lots of tables and chairs as well as a bar table with a dim light lit the room. Kin looked around the place called an office but didn't find an employee's quarters or a room that looked like an office.

Kin felt like he had read the map wrong. Before Kin could ask Clark to leave, Clark walked towards the bar table and sat down in front of one of the bartenders. "What can you tell us about the trip to Tzami city?"

Kin, who didn't understand, followed Clark and sat next to him. Then the bartender looked at Clark and Kin. Then he leaned towards Clark. "What do you need to do there?"

"We were assigned from the Danem city to deliver information to one of the priests there," Clark explained

The bartender sighed while cleaning a beer glass. "You'd better go back. And tell your boss that it is impossible. Currently, it's very difficult to get to Tzami City. Especially for the two of you who still seem to be at a low level."

Feeling slightly insulted, Clark pressed. "Why? Because there are a lot of bandits?"

"It seems you already know." The bartender put the beer glass on the table and looked at Clark, then at Kin. "Yes, because of that. Currently, no adventurers are going that way. We are still waiting for soldiers from the Royaume kingdom to intervene."

Clark was taken aback. "To the point of needing soldiers from the Royaume kingdom? When will they attack the bandits?"

"No date set yet. Currently, they are looking for information about the bandits' base."

Kin, who had only been listening, started to feel hopeless. "That means we still don't know when they started attacking?"

"Yes. But if you want, you can help with finding the bandit's base. Several adventurers are also looking for that base. The royal soldiers have just given information that anyone who helps find the bandit's base will be given a reward."

Suddenly a notification appeared in front of Kin.

[Looking for Bandit's Base at the road to Tzami City]

Rayaume kingdom soldiers in Stolista city are planning to destroy the bandit base. Stolista city soldiers ask for anyone's help to find the bandit base.
