Novel Bin Chapter 14 - Home(1)
The inner city is very different from the outer city. If the outer city is like going to heaven, then the inner city is like a road to a gold mine. The impression of luxury appears in every carving that is on the street lights. The security in this city was also very safe because many guards patrolled this area every day. The inner-city position is also higher, making the air in this place so fresh and making it comfortable.
The inner city also functions as a shopping center in the northern empire. It can be seen from the number of people on the main road. The road traffic looks perfect. Even though the main road is crowded, the people walking don\'t look like they are disturbed; they walk in harmony.
Suddenly, many guards appeared; they looked like they were guarding someone. People on the main road shifted their eyes towards the person in the middle of the guard. They saw a woman wearing a robe that looked very expensive; on that robe is a symbol shaped like a wizard hat circled. The circle looked like a symbol of the pentagram. When the people saw this symbol, they immediately lowered their heads as a sign of respect and fear toward her. The road instantly cleared, giving her and the guard the right of way. No one dares block a Master Wizard.
After the Master Wizard passes, they raise their head only to see a family also being escorted. The dress that Alice and Leona wore and their beautiful face made them very prominent and charming. The crowd shifted their gaze toward the man behind the two beautiful women; they felt jealous of that lucky man. Bastian was proud of his wife and children; he raised his chest, glaring back at them.
-Daytime-
Bastian and his family finally arrived at the gate that was supposed to lead to their new house. The gate\'s height was so high, and the entrance so wide that it was even possible for a horse-drawn carriage to enter. There were also white walls surrounding the gate; the wall was as tall as an adult.
When Desmond sees the situation, he feels suspicious of the origin of this land.
Hmm…hm…
A vast land, a wall, and a big gate. It seems the previous owner was probably a rich person or a high rank in the military.
The greatest possibility is nobles.
System, check the area around this land using my unique energy as the trigger.

Desmond sees a yellow dot on the map radar; the yellow dot indicates an object blocking from surfaces.
Hmm? So that will be below something?
It seems I need to check that after I grow up.
Then Desmond sees Noel approaching, talking to the guard who is guarding the gate; after a few seconds, the guard chants a spell, and then suddenly, the gate, which had been tightly closed, opened by itself.
When the gate was opened, you could see a meadow surrounding the area; there was also a castle that stood firmly in the middle of the area. A path made of white stone led to the castle, and a mini wall as high as a foot covered the edges.
Seeing the vast area they were going to live in, Bastian and Leona frowned; they both looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Only Alice, who was born and living on the ship for a long time, was happy to see this vast land would be her home.
Alice, who was getting ready to jump into the meadow, was pulled back by Bastian.
Alice, whose dress was pulled, looked at her father while showing her cute teeth. "Let me go, Daddy!"
"No, sweetie, if there is danger, how will Dad protect you?" said Bastian while trying to pursue his daughter.
After several times debating, Alice finally tired and fell silent.
When Bastian saw this, he immediately rubbed Alice\'s head while advising her. "At least do it once I check the safety of this area."
"Hump," Alice snorted and tried giving a fake angry reaction; she looked away, but she couldn\'t hide her smile.
When things calmed down, Noel spoke to the guard who was with her all time, "Bring me the horse carriage that the Master has prepared."
"Yes, Master!"
After a few minutes, Bastian and his family see a horse-drawn carriage coming with a coachman driving it. The carriage size was not too big; it was normal for an ordinary person. The carriage body was shaped like a box with wood as the material. A door on the left side was made of half wood on the bottom part, with glass in the upper part, and the carriage was pulled by two armored horses. The horse also wore a steel helmet decorated with peacock feathers on top. With its golden color, the carvings on the carriage body and the horse armor made of pure gold, the carriage looked very fancy.
Suppose you look at the carriage from the outside. In that case, it is enough to accommodate seven people at once, plus the coachman.
Alice, who was the first to enter the train, was shocked to see how large this carriage was from inside. Yes, it\'s not a carriage again, it\'s a room! She touched every corner of the room to make sure this was not an illusion spell; besides Alice, Bastian also scanned the entire room in this carriage with star-shaped eyes, while Leona was already used to a carriage like this.
Proudly, Noel speaks, "This is a carriage that has been equipped with several spells; the kingdom only designed it for people who are important to the kingdom; it can also be used for short trips as well as long journeys.
"With an area of 5x5, it can accommodate 15 people at once, and this carriage has been strengthened with a spell that can withstand attacks."
After several more explanations, they started heading towards the castle. Inside the carriage, Alice, who was sitting near the window, was amazed and couldn\'t believe that this vast meadow would become her home.. In contrast, Leona and Noel, sitting across from Alice, continued to talk endlessly about the gown and other things.
