Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

Chapter 717 Chapter 717 Far Water Town

"We have arrived in Far Water Town, Prince Ronan." One of the 90 escort knights announced. They traveled for almost a month before they got here.

One can only imagine how far and desolate this place was. The main trade in Far Water Town could be deduced from its name.

This was a fish town which relied on the abundant seas for food and livelihood.

"Hmmm..." Our bored merely nodded in reply.

He could see the annoyed gaze from the knight and it was so obvious that the majority of the 90 knights who were tasked to join Prince Ronan in this journey were quite luckless fellows themselves.

These knights would have to stay in Far Water Town for at least 3 months before they could choose to go back to the metropolis to ask for a replacement.

It did not need telling that the recently departed Prince Ronan had nobody on his side. Not even a beautiful maidservant to accompany him.

'What an unfortunate boy.' Clark mused as he stepped down from the luxurious carriage.

Although Prince Ronan was neatly thrown away by his father, the fact remained that he was still the son of a true king! At least he got a good ride and a hefty bag of gold to last him awhile.

"Summon the Town Leader." Our bored gamer said as he roamed his eyes around him.

It was already dark but with the abundant torches in the place, he could determine the 7 meter wooden wall that surrounded the town.

Although there was no presence of magic and sorcery in this world judging from the memory of Prince Ronan but there were still many thieves and robbers.

The lazy and greedy always were innovative in their ways.

"..." A noticeable pause visited the knights while they looked at one another to answer our good gamer's command.

"I'll go get him, Prince." A knight said in a mocking tone then excitedly sauntered forth in the gathered audience nearby.

His eyes were particularly bright as he scrutinized the most beautiful maidens he could lay his eyes on. This was a man with a great plan in mind.

"This lowly fisherman greets your honorable self, Prince Ronan!" An old man arrived in more or less 5 minutes of wait.

From his words alone, Clark could tell why this elderly became the head of this town. This old man was indeed wise.

"Tell me your name, old man." Our bored gamer said.

"I am Alfred Mason, my prince." The old man replied.

"I will be in your care from now on, Alfred." Clark smiled. This showed clearly how handsome he was.

He had black short hair and a fresh face that has not yet been ravaged by the decay of time.

With his extravagant trousers, leggings, cloaks and tunic attire, it was easy to note that he was not the usual crop in the field.

"It is my privilege to serve you, my prince!" Alfred bowed low and deep.

Although he knew that our avid gamer was a banished prince but this was a banished prince with almost a hundred strong knights with him. It would be suicide to show disrespect whatsoever. ɴovel(F)ɪre

"Hmmmm..." Clark nodded once or twice as he rubbed his chin. He approved of this old man's character.

"Are there any houses we could use for tonight, Alfred?" Our bored gamer asked after a few breaths.

Since this was a barren town with only a population of more or less 2,000 souls, it was delusional to expect a castle for him to live.

"Yes, my prince! Please follow me!" Alfred replied.

It was good that he had ample time to prepare and so he hired carpenters to create some simple houses that could accommodate at least two hundred people.

The one for Prince Ronan was of course better than the rest. It was a two story wood house.

"You are a very capable man, Alfred."

"I have high hopes for you and this town." Clark praised and followed the old man towards his new home in this world.

A humble feast was shared later on for dinner and the weary travelers slept shortly thereafter. Our avid gamer had to do one last thing before he could retire for the night.

"I'm here now, Nancy. Tell me about my cheat in this world." He whispered under his breath.

Clark could hear the waves of the sea in the distance and there was an old rhythm in it that could lull anyone to an early sleep.

It was an eternal music that would go on nonstop until this world would unravel someday.

"Affirmative, host. You would get 3 choices to pick from whenever you stay in Far Water Town for 1 day. The choices may contain abilities, resources, or special items for you to use."

Nancy replied promptly.

"So do I need to stay within the town walls or can I freely explore the areas around it?" Clark asked.

"Only within the Far Water Town, host. Should you step out of it, the daily countdown will restart." Nancy supplied with the information.

"I see. Do I have any other additional quests to complete?" Our bored gamer asked once again.

He had dreaded for Nancy to tell him that he needed more wives but luckily enough, that did not happen.

"Negative, host." Nancy responded.

"Hmmm... It seems like I was worried for nothing. Hehehe." Clark laughed as he remembered his initial concern about his partner clay brick getting creative on him.

This voluntary imprisonment in the town was of course not that bad since he would receive unimaginable strength in return.

Our bored gamer did not even have to ask if there were cultivators or any other strange powers in this world.

It was easy to assume that they existed since the system was going to give him due preparation to meet them all.

"SIGH!"

"I just wish that trouble won't find me that quickly." Clark hoped at this time. He realized that he still needed to grow into power before he could face whatever lies ahead of him.

"Ohhh well... Even if I fail and die here, I could always try again." Our avid gamer chuckled and then dragged himself to sleep. At the subtle corner of his eyes, a timer had began its countdown.
