Sambir Town

The sound of the foot of two Javan buffaloes goes hand in hand with the ringing of the bell around their necks. It can not be equated with horse-drawn carriages or mAna stone-fueled transportation, but this is enough for ordinary people like us. The wagon contained a box for merchandise, and I sat next to my grandfather driving a wagon pulled by these two mighty buffaloes.

"Howaaa..."

"It's so nice."

"I'm happy to see you're happy."

"Was dat, gwampa?"

"You mean that big towering thing?"

"Yeshh... was is?"

"It was a giant meteor rock that fell to earth thousands of years ago. People refer to it as "Watu*."

"Oooo.. watu..." With his cute appearance, Yuji pouting while putting his chin in his hand.

Some time passed, they had walked far enough and they did not pass through the village but chose to pass through the rice fields so that the distance they needed to get to the city was shorter. Rice fields and rivers flowing, clear water ripples as if driving their journey. On the way, they always greet the surrounding residents who are doing their activities.

The rickety sound of wooden carts, the thumping of four pairs of legs, and the tapping of bells and the wavy shake of the wagon evoked drowsiness for its passengers.

With a smile sincere Gerard awaken Yuji sleeping on his lap.

"Yuji, wake up.."

"AW we awef?"

"yes, almost up. Take a look at, it's been a lot of people who came to get into the city."

The atmosphere is very different felt by the little boy, the hustle and bustle of the bustling city atmosphere, very different from the atmosphere in the village that is still not crowded like this.

Sambir city is one of the big cities in the southern part of Java island, this city is famous for its location on the coast and also strategic access to the largest dungeon in the southern region by sea.

The city is headed by a governor, the leader of a city directly appointed by the Greater Java Alliance. The main city is surrounded by towering and thick walls, at each point there is a watchtower and installed a protective shield fueled by mAna stone. The entrance of the city has 7 gates, and the largest is the one at the southern end right facing the largest and most populous pier in the southern region called the White Pier. At each gate, there are 10 guards who are members of the core army of city guards.

For traders are required to pass through the southeast door, because there is already provided faster entrance just by showing a valid merchant card and registered entry to the designated city.

The long queue turned out to be only brief, because most traders already have their own trading cards, and some of them were denied entry because they did not have a trading card and were required to take care of it immediately at the counter on the right front of the gate.

When it was our turn, two large guards approached us and immediately greeted grandpa.

"Oh, hello Mr. Gerard!"

"Hello, John, Kenny. How are you?"

"Very good sir. Eh, who is this!?"

"Yuji!! You've grown up apparently..."

"Hahahaha... It's only yesterday that you were a baby being carried by your grandfather."

"Hehe, am big boy naw ankel John ankel Kenny." With her cute smile, the two guards couldn't bear to pinch Yuji's cheek. The two guards are uncle John and uncle Kenny, their stature is almost the same, they are both equally tall, but uncle John has long orange hair and beard while uncle Kenny has a bald head and his teeth are dated one to the left. They both carried shields on their shoulders and carried no weapons other than wooden sticks around their waists. They were both very friendly carers and had known my grandfather for a long time.

Not yet had grandpa give his trade card, he was interrupted by Uncle John.

"Please just go into the city, Mr. Gerard."

"Ehh..., but.."

"Take it easy!"

"Yes, easy, hehe.."

*Sigh* "All right..." The three of them then laughed, and we were allowed into the city just like that.

"Whoaaa....." My eyes were stunned to see the beautiful city buildings neatly arranged, magnificent buildings look so beautiful seen from the entrance.

"Hahaha, are you surprised Yuji?"

"Yes, gwampa... it lok butiful."
