I Can See Your Code

I see your code (64)

“You don’t have to come out tomorrow.”

Lily’s voice trembled at the words of a magician.

“Hey, did I do something wrong?”

“It’s not like that. There was no need.”

Eyes with no emotion, as if they were looking at inanimate objects.

However, he is very kind among wizards. Because there were so many wizards in Calpheon who fired without explanation or notice. This was the reason Lily desperately wanted this job.

“You don’t need it?”

“It means that we have secured all the data that can be extracted from women in their 30s. What’s lacking… … .”

The wizard glanced at the chairs lined with people. From the elderly to children, there is only one. There was only one boy.

He turned to Lily again.

“Do you have any children?”

“yes? Oh, I have one son, but… … .”

“Age is?”

“I will be fifteen this year.”

At those words, the wizard put a smile on his face for the first time.

“It was fine. How about bringing the child? I’ll pay you the same.”

Lily asked, doubting her ears.

“… … Yes?”

“Don’t you understand? It means participating in the experiment.”

“… … A child in an experiment that could kill you?”

“What’s wrong? It’s a safe experiment with less than a 5% chance of dying. Besides, they don’t even pay you a risk pay.”

The wizard looked like he didn’t really know what his complaint was. Lily swallowed the words of anger that ran up to her throat. Because if I had done that to a wizard, my job would have been cut off.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”

“I’m sorry. So can you run errands? Of course, I will pay for it.”

“… … An errand?”

“okay. It’s simple.”

The wizard took a pile of coins from his bosom. Lily found a silver in it and swallowed it.

“I, whatever I can do… … .”

“Then go outside and get one boy.”

Lily’s gaze stopped at the coin.

“… … A boy?”

“okay. I’d rather be an orphan. It would be easier to write that way.”

Lily stood there for a long time without moving. Frustrated by the sight, the wizard finally opened his mouth first.

“Can’t you even do this?”

“… … Do you have any other jobs?”

“none. like garbage. Stop wasting my time and get out.”

bang!

Lily stared blankly at the closed door, then tumbled toward the house.

Two weeks after leaving the forest of inheritance. I arrived at the entrance of a city embedded in the outskirts of Calpheon.

Barnaul.

The reason I came here, not Layton, was simple. Because I had something to check.

The second part of the ‘Velia Continental Electric’ that I made, the starting point could be chosen as desired by the player. It means that you can choose 3 kingdoms, or even choose the devastated Layton.

But that didn’t mean there wasn’t a main character representing the second part.

The second part of the game begins with a scene where the main character, who was living in Barnaul, has to change his residence for some reason. In short, choosing the starting point is the choice of the protagonist, not the player.

… … Well, that’s the setting, and ultimately the decision is made by the player.

Anyway, according to the setting, Barnaul is the city where the main character of Part 2 will live at this point. It was well worth a visit. If there is, as it is, if it is not, it becomes information.

While looking at the translucent dome-shaped magic curtain that surrounds the city, I headed towards the entrance.

“Stop.”

The moment we were about to enter, the guard at the entrance raised a window and stopped us from entering. Then he looked me up and down, and the color of his face turned red.

“Are you from southern Argon?”

“you’re right. How did you know?”

“It’s rare to see black hair there. You must not be an imperial person.”

The guard grinned.

“One of my friends was from there. Anyway, you’ve come a long way. Are you traveling?”

“Yes. I’m interested in magic. It’s not that there are no wizards in Argon, but… … Isn’t there a big difference from Calpheon?”

“It is. I don’t know if it’s good or not.”

The guard glanced around the city, then came over to me and whispered quietly.

“I think this is my first time with Calpheon, so I’m talking to the old woman, but by any chance, don’t touch the sorcerer’s planting. Because what they say is the law here.”

“I barely listened.”

“I can’t quite hear it… … Well, you’re not a kid, you’ll be fine.”

The guard shook his head slightly and came up to me and stamped the back of his hand. A faint energy of mana was felt in it.

“It’s a one-day stay. If you want to stay longer than that, you have to go to the city hall and pay. Don’t even think about stealing it. You will be attacked by the magic linked to the curtain. And even if you commit a crime, you can be attacked… … .”

The guard looked at me meaningfully. As he tilted his head, he smiled hahaha.

“You can’t do it in Calpheon unless you’re a big guy who has been around for a while. Alright, stop going in. Oh, we’ll just have to go through the veil.”

I took a step into the city with my thanks.

The curtain vibrated with a gong, and when I wanted to wrap my body with a little resistance, it was already after I had entered the city.

“… … .”

Without much emotion, I approached the window of the store that was immediately visible. A middle-aged man with black hair is reflected in it.

An ordinary impression that you will soon forget if you pass by. However, thanks to the rare hair color in Calpheon, the appearance is easy to identify. just how you want it

He made sure that no one was around and tapped his head. Then, a brass helmet that had not been seen before appeared.

‘Tarnhelm’ received as a reward.

Is it really supposed to be a relic? I was worried that I might fall into the ‘search’ magic hanging from the city curtain, but I don’t seem to notice it at all. There’s even an on-off function. It’s really useful.

He hit his helmet again to hide himself and headed for Barnaul’s 4th area. It was my first time coming here, but I didn’t have to ask for directions. Because the code was telling me which way to go.

[PLAYER-2]

The code for the main character in part 2.

I was half sure that there was, but seeing it with my own eyes is a new feeling. impression… … is a bit excessive. It must be a strange feeling. After all, he was one of the only two main characters in the game.

After a short walk, I came to a dirty street full of filth. It’s not comparable to the old Layton, but it’s pretty tough here.

After all, District 4 is the poorest slum in Barnaul. Also, among the three kingdoms, Calpheon has the worst treatment for commoners. Is this reasonable enough?

I walk around with such a carefree feeling.

bang!

With the sound of the door being smashed, a boy with dark hair jumped out.

… … what else is this

Whether I looked at it with a puzzled eye or not, the man who came out of the broken door grabbed the boy by the collar and lifted him up.

“How many times have I told you? Does the money that the mayor lends you look ridiculous?”

At the man’s words, the boy grabbed his neck and spit on the floor.

“… … Money is not funny. The market is funny.”

“Hey, this naughty kid is still here. Shall I chop your hair first?”

“It would be better not to hit the face. Mom will notice.”

It might seem funny to see a middle-aged kid taunting his mother, but I don’t feel that way at all. Maybe it’s because his voice is too blunt and his tone is as if he’s just telling the truth. Or maybe it’s because of his gloomy eyes that aren’t his age.

Anyway, the important thing is that the content was enough to make a man feel uncomfortable.

“This kid… … Come on, I’ll chop every corner except for my face.”

The man’s fists point towards the body, which fluttered in the air. However, the boy who would actually be the victim of the violence only looked at the approaching fist with emotionless eyes. And just before that fist touches.

chin.

My palm blocked that path.

“What else is this… … .”

“It sounds like you’re a debtor, but don’t stop there. I owe you money, not your fists.”

“Heh, I’m not stupid.”

The man left the boy and looked at me.

“It doesn’t look like you’re from this city just by looking at it, so don’t meddle and just go. I can get hooked by making a fuss.”

“Well, I disagree with that opinion. But anyway, if you play it clumsily, there is nothing more shameful than that.”

“You will regret it.”

The man frowned and tried to pull out his fist. But his fist didn’t even budge. Because I didn’t let go.

No matter how much he tried to move, there was no movement, and then the man showed a sign of embarrassment.

“… … Just let it go.”

“If you swear you won’t punch again.”

“… … I swear.”

swish. The man pulled out his hand and looked at me.

“Do you know that I am hired by the mayor here?”

“I didn’t know. So what’s the dragon?”

“… … That bastard Abby gets her debt back to the mayor. That irresponsible bastard went bankrupt without repaying it. So, isn’t it natural for that child to pay the money back?”

The man shrugged and grinned.

“If you know, please stop. They seem like people from the same industry, but in the city, there will be no good things to do outside the market.”

Same industry… … .

I looked at the code that floated on top of the man.

[NPC-1-MC-C]

Was he a mercenary too? Seriously, who else can take on this kind of work?

I asked casually.

“How much is that debt?”

“why? Do you want me to pay you back?”

The man laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“Gwandoo Show. The grade seems pretty high, but it’s not an amount that can be repaid just by earning a mercenary.”

“Answer me.”

“Huh, really. I won’t be able to pay it back anyway, it’s a shame… … I wonder if he’s even calling for a call because his hair color is the same… … .”

The man muttered in an audible voice, then pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom and showed it to him.

“Here is the loan. 10 gold principal, 90 gold interest. 100 gold paper total. If you understand, please stop.”

The man waved his hand as if there was nothing more to do. It was an attitude as if I could not repay even one thing.

What interest is 9 times the principal?

It was absurd, but without hesitation, I took out a small bag from the inside and handed it to the man. The man’s expression, who opened the sack with his eyes wondering what kind of work this is again, was colored with astonishment.

“Hey, what is this… … .”

“Exactly 100 gold. Tell the mayor.”

He took the loan card from his hand and put it in his arms. The man just looked at me with blank eyes, without being able to resist.

I glanced at him once and opened my mouth.

“what are you doing? It doesn’t turn off quickly.”
