Chapter 4 : Exterior.

—Not entirely …

I reply to the handsome male, noticing that our heights are not that different, i am just about an inch shorter than him.

{I wasn't this tall!, Arriving here has made me at least 20 cm taller, about 2.1 meters, now i understand why i have this feeling of me being clumsy, because my size and weight are totally different, rivaling this individual}

Sound comes from the side, and a flying green leather pouch is about to hit the handsome male on his head.

He nonchalantly catches the object without observing its origin, rapidly attaching it on his belt.

The tall Bald Male that was responsible of the action shows his surprise, it wasn't a slow throw like it was on my case.

{The speed surely surpass 25 to 30 folds the velocity of before, that is not different than the performance of a top professional baseball player, i don't think in lacrosse i could make a shot like that, much less catching it}

§ Undetermined Disposition §

{The interface is larger than before!, Why Disposition hasn't changed?, and what is wrong with his name?, there are only one last name, not two, and that is without mention the "Bald" on it, Not funny!}

Another smack, but this time on my forehead, pulls me back into reality.

—You are spacing out again, everything is fine? …

Asks the handsome male right after hitting me for the second time today, third if we count the electric honey discharge.

{Well, at least i am not rambling in my head anymore, Wait, Why i ain't mad for the aggression?!, Is this because the "Pragmatic Disposition"?}

I nod to him thinking to myself, and walking to the exit, others decide to do the same as me.

{Hopefully this occasion i am actually outside of this structure}

In front there is a large terrace with several circular wood tables, in which some are occupied by people engaging in calm or heated conversations, eating, drinking or watching us attentively.

I advance up to the center of this space, turning around and noticing two other exits like the one i berely cross on the wall that was behind me.

Other factor is the two sides of the terrace, they have wooden stairs that descend towards the ground floor.

This is obvious as i reach the railing at the edge of the terrace, seeing that there are more wooden tables below.

But these are larger and have a rectangular shape, as long benches to sit down instead of chairs.

Following my curiosity i go to the floor below.

{i don't want the terrace to get crowed, with three chambers like the one i leave, at least 150 persons are going to swarm the place}

In one side of the ground floor there is a counter with a total of six attendants, having a large poster behind them with very pertinent information.

§ Exchange Rate §

1 Coin = 20 Beads

1 Plate = 25 Coins

1 Plate = 500 Beads

5 Failed Grains = 1 Bead

5 Null Grains= 2 Beads

1 Full Grains = 1 Bead

1 Embedded Grain = 5 Beads

§ Check your income before leaving §

{That is a dissimulated way of telling to not complain, and i have 15 Coins, that means 300 Beads, is that enough for a few days of expenses in this place?}

In the opposite wall of the Exchange Counter there is a Canteen, being managed by three bartenders.

I onserve the two posters on their wall, having several prices for different drinks and dishes.

§ Do Not Hurry Up The Cook §

{A Beer cost just 8 Beads?!, and a fish is 45 Beats?!, if i compare it with my own understanding of prices, this is not expensive at all, I recall buying a can of beer for £29, fish was so rare,that it wasn't accessible unless you were a filthy rich businessman or an influential political leader}

Finally i reach the entrance of the construction on the opposite direction to the terrace, with a big wooden door open to receive everyone who wants to enter on the building.

Going outside reveals a not so obvious truth, the sky is blue a dark indigo shade to be precise.

Street lamps illuminate the floor made of large squares of hazel stone, several buildings in the inmediations with similar design and materials are starting their business.

{Could it be that it is about to dawn?, And or our arrival is a common event that occurs here?}

Not having answers i stroll around for a minute, remembering one of the "Tasks" i have, so i change my posture and accelerate my displacement movement, jogging with a speed around 18 kilometers per hour.

{Wait!, How do i know if a Click is a Kilometer like in my Planet?!, Or if an hour has the same value?!, I am doing this for naught?!, Can i track my progress?}

The question is replied by a short sentence write on white and black ethereal words that i suppose only i can observe.

§{Jog Distance 4,988/5,000}§

{Interesting, i can maintain certain level of control over some aspects of this Interface, but if that is the case, It does not mean that the data and processes are based on my "Capacities" and "Capabilities", "PEC and SEC" respectively!}

§{Jog Distance 4,989/5,000}§

I stop Myself and see a fortified wall that surrounds the perimeter of this town, the gate is impressive and protected by several guards.

Or perhaps they are soldiers, because they not only carry those strange curved swords.

Spears and Javelins while some others carry a kind of baton with a wider point of impact.

The most rare of them are those with a large Staff of wood, few of them even embedded with a jewel or coated by metal to reinforce the stability of the wider superior structure.

{Wow, its at least 200 of them patrolling the wall, without counting the 50 near the entrance to check if someone wants to pass, and that is only what i can see here}

A couple of small groups between 3 up to 12 individuals are going in, or out of the town.

{Some are injured, is obvious with their gestures and the way they walk, How dangerous is outside the walls?}

Still getting closer, i see with clarity the other side of the gate, sand, sand as far as my eyes can see.

—Where do you think you're going?! …

An strict and firm Female voice said, i turn fastly to the sound, but couldn't find anyone speaking to me.

—The rules are concise, don't go out of the walls alone.

I hear the voice again and saw the silhouette of a woman more than 100 meters away from me, standing on top of the wall, looking at me with her penetrating blue eyes that shine with the glow of brilliant gems of lapis lazuli.

{How is she talking to me?, How i am hearing her?, And why her eyes stand out so much that I can perceive them clearly at this distance, i know it is dark but this simply doesn't makes any sense!}
