Chapter 1662: First Step in Els
After a few hours of the trip, Haru had arrived at the Els. He looked at the city in front of him which was surrounded by a huge wall, there was a single stone path that was connected to the gate, and on that path, there were a lot of people, wagons, carriages, carts, and he could see that most of them were merchants.
Haru smiled and somehow felt quite novel since, unlike his original world where he made money by using either FOREX or stock, in this world, the society was still similar to a medieval era, but he knew that even though the society was quite similar to a medieval era, the technology was quite good and it was a bit similar to the 18th or 19th century, but even if the technology was similar to those 18th or 19th, there wasn"t any gunpowder or rather there weren"t any firearms since there was a magic, with magic, no one thought to develop a firearm at all.
How did Haru know all of that?
It was because before Haru arrived at the Els, he had encountered a lot of people from travelers, merchants, and even a bandit and when he met them, he directly used the power of "Heaven"s Door" on them, reading all the information that they knew in this world, and as expected, it was faster to use "Heaven"s Door".
It wasn"t that asking people was bad, but there might be a chance that the information that he received would be fake since there was a chance someone might be lying to him.
Haru was in a strange world, alone, without anyone he knew or trusted, it was normal for him to be quite wary, after all, he wasn"t some obvious and good guy protagonist who would believe anyone as long as they talked.
Before his arrival, Haru also had gained a lot of things whether it was money, clothes, and various things, but he put all of that on his zipper storage and only put on a long coat that covered most of his body, a hoodie that covered his face, and a leather bag that he put on his body.
Haru had to admit that the most profitable business at this time was a robbery since along the way, he had gathered a sum of money and with this money, it should be enough to buy one or two shops on the Els.
What Haru had said before might sound evil, but that was the truth since what he had done in his original world was also a robbery. In FOREX and stock, money from various people was circulated, and he grabbed all of them, so when he gained a lot of money, but because of that a lot of people also lost their money.
In essence, a trader and a robber were quite similar, but they were using different kinds of tools and uniforms.
If it was in the past, then they would use smelly clothes, and a sharp weapon to rob someone, but in the modern world, most people would wear a suit and use their mouths to rob an individual, company, and even a country.
Did Haru regret getting all of that money?
No.
It might sound cold, but even if Haru stopped himself, it didn"t mean other people would stop, so rather than letting that money enter other people"s pockets, it was better to enter his own pocket, right?
Haru stood on the line and directly used his ability to let other people move first so it didn"t take a long time before he arrived in front of the gate, but even if he arrived at the gate, it didn"t mean he could enter the city since the guard needed to check whether he was a criminal or not.
The guards were quite surprised when Haru, who was at the back, could suddenly move to the front line directly, but they didn"t think too much.
"Open your hood first."
Haru nodded and opened his hoodie, showing his handsome face to the world.
There was a reason why he put on a hoodie, but his first reason was that he was too handsome.
Even though it might sound narcissistic, he was really handsome that he could make those normal girls fall in love with him just by standing and using his face. Even some males were also entranced by his handsomeness, but the same as a beauty, a handsome face also brought a lot of trouble.
Haru knew that slavery was still legal in some countries and even in the kingdom that was known for its kindness, the Earlshide Kingdom, there was still slavery there, even though it was only a small number and there weren"t many people who knew about this, but the condition of the Earlshide Kingdom was still good and unlike the Bluesphere Empire, that was very rampant, well, not only slavery, even a commoner was treated as livestock by the n.o.ble that was living on the Bluesphere Empire.
How could Haru know all of that?
It was simple and that was because Haru had read all that information from the "Heaven"s Door" before on some of the bandits that he met along the way.
His face was handsome, and the number of rich women wasn"t small, and there were also some people with a special hobby so when people looked at him, they had a desire to kidnap him and sold him to those rich people.
Fortunately, Haru was very strong and he could make all of them into idiots by using his "Heaven"s Door" and telepathic ability, but well, rather than turning them into an idiot, it was better to use them as a loyal dog that he could order anytime.
When Haru showed his face, everything turned silent since no one had ever seen such a handsome young man.
Haru smiled lightly and asked, "Can I enter now?"
"Ah, yes!"
The guard subconsciously said in a respectful manner, including all his friends who also did the same, bowing their heads on him.
Unlike before when Haru saved a group of people in the forest, at this moment, he showed an aura of a king, which made everyone subconsciously feel lower than him and respect him.
"Thank you." Haru nodded with a smile, put on his hoodie again, and entered the city, but at the same time, he felt a bit disappointed.
Why?
It was because Haru thought that there would be a corrupt guard that charges people who enter with money, but it seemed that he thought too much since it seemed the guards were quite gentle.
Haru remembered that Els was known for their trust and because of that, no one dared to corrupt, nor they needed to do corruption since most people with high power in this country were rich. He knew that the motto of the people in this nation would be, "there is no problem that can"t be solved without money, if there is one, then it needs more money."
Joke aside, even though there were some problems that couldn"t be solved with money, most problems could be solved with money, which was why money was very interesting.
Haru then looked around the city and could see a lot of people were doing business on here and there that caused the corner of his mouth to rise since as a businessman, he felt that this scene was great.
Haru started to walk and thought about what kind of business he should do first. He then looked around and walked directly toward one of the restaurants while thinking...
"Should I build fast food here?"
