After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 832

It was a tense hour or so more of travel. No one wanted to walk in front of Baku—doing so felt like they had a predator behind them, waiting for a chance to dismember them.

When they finally reached the vicinity of what they knew to be Guia Village, they almost jumped up in celebration.

They were certain they were in the right place. After all, they had the interface map and they just had to follow it.

But… when they arrived at the walls of Guia some time later, the group was quite surprised. The changes since they had last been here… were not small.

"Oh, level 5 walls? Has Guia Village become a town?" Bulgogi mumbled, looking around. He was puzzled. After all, the monsters around were still village level.

Sipa and the others were also intrigued.

"Well, either way—-whether it’s become a town or became an even richer village— that’s good news for us," Bart said, thinking they could finally get a good rest, and maybe they could sell the orc as early as here, if the price was right.

This orc was too stressful. Bart felt his lifespan was shaved several years during the few days of travel with this darned half-orc!

Anyway, they entered with the intent of finally getting a break and eating decent food. Well, not that the Restaurant food was decent, but it was better than what they’ve been eating the past few days.

With relieved hearts, they entered the gate, receiving the expected announcement as they passed the threshold.

[Welcome to Iron Mountain Village (Lv3). Please pay 10 copper as visitor’s fee.]

[Rules and Regulations are…]

If they were puzzled before, they were confused now.

"What? Did I remember it wrong? Didn’t this use to be called Guia Village?"

"And it’s still a village!"

"Also, the entry is so cheap!"

"Right?" Sipa mumbled, "It has a level 5 wall and pretty dense sentries… isn’t the cost of entry too cheap?"

This made Bart narrow his eyes. Baltimore would never be so kind. And the name change…

"So many new rules, as well…"

Bart narrowed his eyes. "No more fighting? That’s really out of character," he said. "Perhaps Jonathan asked them to do so?"

The team looked at each other and, knowing they wouldn’t be able to answer anything now, just entered though with a lot more curiosity in their minds than before.

As they went in, they looked around to note of the other changes. For one, some streets felt wider, the air felt cleaner. There was a sort of levity he couldn’t quite describe.

However, they weren’t able to analyze their new place very well because people noticed their entry—or rather, the half-orc’s entry.

Unsurprisingly, it created a bit of havoc, with several people gasping and hiding. Some screamed, and some did the same though they were pulled back—afraid they’d get its attention.

"Kyaaaaa! Orc!"

"That’s a half orc! I heard Orcs are even scarier!"

"KYAAA! Is the war starting already?!"

"RUN! RUNN!!!"

This made the mercenaries freeze and look at each other.
