Traveler Chiba

[Chiba]

Although I prefer traveling alone,

I don't mind having some company in dangerous areas.

But you...Hmm...I don't think you're skilled enough to travel around this area.

I know Laphines perform a huge ceremony for the succession of kingship but I don't know exactly what the ceremony is about.

It's a rare opportunity to see the ceremony with your own eyes since Mayor Jun lives pretty long.

You're a human from Midgard.

I'm Chiba.

As you can see, I'm a traveler just like you.

I think local area information is the most important when traveling.

You think so, too?

I heard there's a way to avoid a rift that is blocking Jotunheim...

Do people really travel through Hazy Forest?

So it is.

That's how strong humans are, I guess.

When I was Mora, I heard there are many missing men in Hazy Forest...

Indeed...people who get to Mora first use magic to help others travel?

That's brilliant.

Anyway it's true that there are active interactions thanks to you people.

I should be grateful for that.

Do you want to know something more interesting?

Everyone in Alpheim knows about it, but I'm sure you people have never heard about it.

Among Laphines, have you seen the taller ones with especially bright skin and gorgeous wings?

They're the 'Donas.' By the way, normal-looking Laphines are called 'Papang' in their language.

It sounds like some kind of a snack, but well, we should respect them.

The reason Donas are taller and gorgeous is because they're all candidates for Mayor.

That is, they all have a chance of becoming the king.

We're not talking about upper class or lower class here. They are classified according to their job.

It might not be important, but it's good to know about it as a foreigner.

Anyway, Donas have strong magical powers and they live longer. But since there are not many of them most of them are assigned to important positions.

Who knows? It might be good to win their favor. Hahaha.

The throne of the king of Laphines seems to be inherited by blood, but it isn't in reality.

Mayor Jun is known to emerge among the Donas but it's just exactly that.

He literally just emerges without any kind of a formal inheritance process.

Isn't it pretty interesting?

You received information related to Laphines from Chiba.

Let's go talk to other travelers.

If I came earlier, I could have become a part of a historic moment...

but I missed it. Kekeke.

Wasn't there an Eclage Guard looking for you just now?

You'd better respect Laphines as much as possible in order to avoid any discord.

It's the basis of traveling.

Didn't you go somewhere with an Eclage Guard?

If you're lost on the way, ask the guard at the east gate.

He will guide you.

So, you weren't a mere traveler after all.

Mm...should I try to go through Hazy Forest?

Maybe it's too much...isn't it?

I'll just go to the tower with Litrip again.
