"Why did you stop me?" Asked the arnored figure. Due to the muffled voice, Nevan couldn't be sure whether the speaker is a woman or a man, but he was leaning on the woman side because of the shape of the armor. It was too tight compared to the guard's bulky armor earlier. The voice although muffled has some sort of grace and charm in it.

"We've just arrived in this world without any information and you already want to cause trouble?" Nevan's words calmed the armored figure down.

'That's right, its now a new world, not the world I'm used to.' The armored figure thought to itself. It realized the mistake it did right now and calmed itself down and thought of the situation. Right now, they lack money, food, and shelter, basically the human needs.

While they were strolling around, Nevan finally knew the difference. Although he could understand them talking, he couldn't read the letters carved in the signs.

'Sh*t, this is going to be rough.' Nevan thought.

"What we lack is food, money and information and we need to get them fast before the sun sets down or we're in trouble." Nevan said to the armored figure.

"Don't worry about money." The armored figure said and threw a pouch to Nevan. Nevan opened the pouch and saw the jewels inside and his eyes opened wide as he looked at the armored figure.

"Wha...?! Where did you get this...?" Nevan was dumbfounded as he didn't know where did the pouch came from.

"My trusted aide, Merlin, made a storage ring for me. Anyway don't bother with where I got the money. Compared to that madman's vault, that pouch of jewels is nothing!" The armored figure said and Nevan felt like it was annoyed at someone. (Ofc Gates of Babylon contains Gil's entire wealth in it.)

'I didn't do anything though?' Nevan thought before accepting the pouch.

"I'll borrow this then. I'll repay you back for this." Nevan said but the armored figure just waved its hand.

'At least he's got a good disposition.' The armored figure thought to itself.

Nevan immediately made plans and walked towards a small store owner.

"Brother, do you know where we can get some lodging, warm food, and where to get a map?" Nevan asked the shop keeper while sliding a small jewel towards the shop keeper. Seeing the jewel, the shop owner's hand quickly swiped the jewel in fear of Nevan pulling it back. Then with a wide businessman smile, he spoke with Nevan.

"You've got the right person, brother, I could recommend you, go to Mama Bear's inn. The owner there is a good friend of mine, she could give you a pretty good discount just tell her my name. As for the map, you can go to the mercenary hall, they will sell you a map depending on the map you're looking for." The shop owner said to Nevan who is listening and processing what he is hearing.

"Thank you for the information, brother. Can I know where those two are located?" Nevan asked and the shopkeeper continued.

"Its just around the corner, look for a sign with the name of the inn and a bear paw. As for the mercenary hall, its pretty easy to find. You see that big building over there? That's pretty much it, you can see the two crossed blade as its sign." The shopkeeper said and Nevan nodded.

"Thanks, it helped me a lot. Name's Nevan, how about you brother?" Nevan asked and the shopkeeper smiled.

"Jonah. Looks like you are paying attention. Anyway, just tell the owner of the inn about my name and she'll give you a reasonable price. If you have any deals, be sure to come to me, okay?" Jonah said while Nevan chuckled after hearing about it.

"I'll be sure to come when I need help or something." Nevan smiled and gave another small jewel as a show of goodwill.

"Hehe. Then I won't be courteous." Jonah said and swiped the jewel.

Nevan then motioned for the armored figure to follow him. The armored figure was watching how Nevan dealt with Jonah and felt that it was a waste of jewel for a small piece of information. Heck, it thought that if it threatened the shop owner, he would give it without a single thought.

"You must be thinking why I gave those jewels for a piece of information." Nevan said and the armored figure was slightly surprised when Nevan took the initiative to talk. Seeing the armored figure keeping its silence, Nevan continued.

"We're in a whole new world without any information. Being in a good side with a local merchant will surely help fill that gap. I don't even know the name of this town and its structure. By forming relations with the locals, they would be willing to share any information as long as the price is right." Nevan said as he thought of the times where he was working like a slave just to have food on his stomach.

He would always form a good relationship with the staff and the boss so they won't make it hard for him. If the boss is someone unlikeable, he would always curry favor to the boss to at least ease up the things that would befell on him.

When he first started working in a small eatery as a child, he would always be bullied and beaten by the staff as a way of releasing their stress since no one would mind about beating a poor dirty kid. He would always come home with bruises that he would hide by wearing long sleeved clothes.

The armored figure looked at Nevan who was feeling a slight sadness with anger mixed in and wondered what Nevan encountered in his life. Nevan also noticed that he had remembered something unnecessary and immediately shook it off his head.

He was thankful for the hardships he faced, for it was those experience that made him into who he was right now. Now all he needs to do is to look forward and carve a new path for himself.
