Kyal and Freya chatted about harmless topics to pass the time as their carriage arrived in the capital.
The carriage swayed and rocked all the way, and we finally arrived. Fortunately, the carriage was top-notch in terms of craftsmanship and quality, so the ride wasn't too bumpy. Otherwise, I would have definitely gotten carsick and wanted to vomit over such a long distance.
Wangdu Gioral.
As its name suggests, it is the capital of the Kingdom of Geolar.
The Kingdom of Geolar is located at the southernmost edge of the human-dominated territory, beyond which lies the territory ruled by the Demon King and the demon race.
In summary, the Kingdom of Geolar serves as a bulwark against the invasion of demons for humanity.
For this reason, the Kingdom of Geolar receives support from countries around the world, which is also closely related to the country's strength.
The support included not only food and money, but also engineering, magic, and human resources. Moreover, due to their overwhelming combat experience fighting monsters on the front lines, the Kingdom of Geolar was undoubtedly the most powerful nation.
However, recently, backed by the power obtained through support, they have begun to engage in hardline negotiations, urging more places to provide support and doing many greedy things.
As this is the front line of the battle between humans and monsters, the defensive walls surrounding the capital are not only exceptionally tall and thick, but also have magical defensive effects in addition to physical defense.
Moreover, it was equipped with countless weapons.
"What a magnificent defensive barrier!"
Kyal's astonished expression perfectly captured the character of the country bumpkin, much like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
"Hehe, it's not enough to be surprised by the defensive wall alone. The real surprise is inside the town."
Freya's tone was proud and relaxed, but Kyal still keenly sensed Freya's slightly contemptuous look, probably because she looked down on Kyal's country bumpkin appearance.
His attitude has changed, huh? When he thought I was still a usable fighter, he saw me as an innocent country bumpkin. But now that he's discovered I'm a healing mage, he sees me as a country bumpkin.
But this suits me just fine. Kayal couldn't be more pleased if Freya thought less of him, so that she would lower her guard and he could give her an unexpected surprise when he sought revenge in the future.
We passed through the thick iron gate and entered the town.
"Look, isn't this street beautiful?"
Upon entering the town, Freya, the hero of [Art] and the princess of this country, let out an innocent and joyful sound.
To be honest, Kyal found her feigned innocence somewhat disgusting.
The carriage sped along the beautifully maintained streets of Gioral.
As she said, the street scene was indeed very beautiful.
Centered on the wide, straight main streets designed for easy traffic flow, the roads are laid out in a grid pattern.
The buildings are constructed of brick and tile to withstand fire and are quite stylish.
Everything in this town is well-organized and there is no waste.
The crowds on this beautiful street surpass those on any other street.
The business was bustling and full of energy, with laughter filling the air.
"She is indeed very beautiful, just like Freya."
Hearing this made Kyal feel nauseous, but he didn't show it. It was all part of the plan to create the impression that Kyal had feelings for Freya, so that Freya would be more relaxed and wary when facing Kyal.
Kyal's tone was not respectful to Princess Freya, because it was Freya who had asked him to do so.
She said that since they are both brave, they are equals and there is no need to be overly respectful.
She's clearly a princess, but she wants to act like an approachable and down-to-earth person. Well, let's play along.
"Really... Kyal, I'm embarrassed by your compliment."
Freya's face looked slightly flushed.
"Sorry, I just blurted it out as soon as I thought of it... But this town is indeed very beautiful."
Kyal scratched his head awkwardly.
"That's right, this is the town I'm so proud of! We fought to protect this beautiful town and everyone's smiles!"
Freya looked at the surrounding street scene with an innocent and carefree smile on her face.
"That Freya is truly remarkable."
Kyal responded with a smile... Ah, really, I've been faking it for too long, my facial muscles are getting a little stiff.
"Ah, sorry, um... I got a little too excited, but if our power can protect everyone's smiles, that would be really great, right?"
Kyary was about to vomit.
Every word Freya uttered was full of scheming.
Whether it's her innocent and naive behavior, her somewhat dim-witted nature, her carefree and cheerful smile, or even her pure and sincere desire to protect the capital.
Each and every one of them was an act designed to bind Kyal to this country.
Freya, the heroine of [Art], is a woman capable of doing such a thing.
Knowing the inside story, Kyal went to great lengths to keep quiet.
However, it is indeed true that I said this town is as beautiful as Freya.
A beautiful exterior and an interior stained black, just like Freya herself.
Basically, the capital itself was already filthy.
Because the land on which the capital was built was taken from the demi-humans.
Ajin are a type of half-beast. Although they look similar to humans, they also have some animal characteristics, such as animal ears on their heads, tails behind their buttocks, and animal-like features on their legs. The body hair on the parts with animal-like features is also relatively abundant, just like the fur on a wild animal.
The Kingdom of Geolar took a liking to this fertile and vast land, and successively burned down the villages of the demi-humans, massacred the demi-humans who resisted, and used the survivors as slaves to ensure labor, thus building this town.
That is why this town was able to be built with a design most suitable for circulation.
After all, they first destroyed the original demi-human village before they could do whatever they wanted here.
Beautiful streets, various beautiful buildings, and crowds full of laughter.
Behind these things are the traces left by people who sacrificed themselves for them; everywhere there are demi-human slaves wearing collars and being used at will.
Although slavery of "humans" is forbidden in the kingdom, demi-human slaves are exempt. After all, the kingdom treats demi-humans no differently than beasts. Moreover, demi-humans possess true names, and can be made absolutely obedient through summoning magic. It's more convenient for demi-humans to have no human rights, thus the existence of such slaves is tacitly accepted.
Although he sympathized with the tragic experiences of the demi-human beast-eared girls, Kaiyal, as a human, had no right to condemn such behavior, since he was a racist before his transmigration.
He didn't care about such things; all he cared about now was how to become stronger, take revenge, and move on to the next world.
Similar things will happen in every world in the future. If Kyal has to manage every world, he will really be exhausted to death.
