READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 147 – Prosperous City.
God approached the gate. There were no guards outside, but God could feel gazes on him. He then looked up and noticed some men above the wall.
The wall is also a watchtower. There were four men, all of them wearing light leather armour. Even though two of them were rather frail-looking, God knew they were strong.
'The magic power of all of them is absurd.' They wouldn't compare to God, but the four men were skilled magic users.
"Excuse me?" God shouted.
One of the soldiers above the wall asked God to identify himself, so he devised a name. "My name is Joan. I came here to visit a friend." He gave a smile, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
"Joan? What is the name of your friend?"
After the man's question, God almost choked. He should have worked out that plan a little better.
"The name is Bardak. Yes, Bardak." After saying the name of his supposed friend, God internally shouted. 'Bardak isn't even a real name! It's impossible for someone to have a name like that!' However, his expression was neutral.
"Bardak? The old man Bardak?" A smile appeared on the guard's face. Next, the gate began to open.
"Yes, that old man owes me some money, I came here to collect." God laughed. The guard realized that he was joking and also began to laugh. Then he jumped off the wall and landed in front of God.
He jumped off the wall and felt no impact on his feet when he touched the ground. It was as if he had gone down a simple step.
"So where did you come from?"
"I came from Uriq, north of here."
"Uriq... I've visited Uriq before, but it's been a while since I've been there. I'm stuck in this city because of my job. I miss the time when I worked as an adventurer."
The man walked beside God, and the two entered the city.
"So you were an adventurer?"
"Yes, I worked as an adventurer for over twenty years. It may not seem like it, but I'm over fifty years old now."
"Oh, yes..." It was true; he had a very youthful appearance.
"All right, enjoy your stay. If you want to stay in an inn, I recommend the three-story inn in the south of town. The price is good and the food there is delicious. I used to stay there a lot in the old days."
"Okay, thank you very much. Have a good day."
"See you later. Joan. I'll be here if you need any help." The guard waved as God walked away.
"He is very kind... All the guards are kind and good people." It was different from the world he created. The world Luan was in had many despicable people.
He walked down the streets and noticed how happy people were; nothing seemed to bother them, even though they lived in a theoretically very dangerous world.
'No homeless people, no people in old clothes... It seems that everyone lives well here.' He didn't know if the whole world was like that, but this city is prosperous.
"But... It's strange." He remembers that things were not as good when he watched the people of this world with his father. Everything was chaos.

God opened the map again. He walked through some narrow streets until he came to a nice-looking two-story building.
On the front of the building was a sign with a rather peculiar name.
[ Hotel of Desire ]
God coughed and cleared his throat. The name was rather suggestive, but still, he thought nothing strange of it and opened the door. Fortunately, the reception and bar area was quite normal.
No women were walking around the place wearing sexy clothes. Maybe at night, that would happen, but at the moment, it just looked like an ordinary inn.
'That guy is probably here...' The centre of the red dot was in this place.
"Can I help you?" God was looking around suspiciously, and that caught the receptionist's attention. She had a gentle smile, although she was on alert. God approached the reception counter and handed the woman a few coins.
Although he had not created this world, he could create bronze, silver and gold coins to use.
"I would like a room."
"For how many people? Just for you?"
"That's right. Hmm... Excuse me for asking, but this place is..."
"Oh, you are worried about the name? Well, the one who chose that name was my mother. To be clear, we don't do that kind of service here." The receptionist smiled a little awkwardly.
"I see."
The receptionist took the coins and then wrote a few things. After handing the room key to God, she bowed politely.
Before going to his room, God looked around the bar/restaurant area of the inn. However, he did not find his target. He found only a few guests chatting and eating some meals happily.
'Maybe he's in one of the rooms.' God went upstairs and walked down the corridor. And when he passed in front of one of the doors, he felt a strange energy inside the room. On the door, it had the number [137]
"I feel the same magic." The same magic he felt in that woman. It was the magic of the man he was looking for. And although he found what he was looking for, God did not invade the room.
He approached the last door in the corridor, where his room was. As soon as he entered, he sat on the soft bed and sighed.
"I'll wait a little while, I don't want to break into his room." That would be easy, but God didn't want to cause trouble. The other guests and the receptionist don't know who he is; breaking into someone's room would be bad.
He didn't want to be treated like a criminal.
God lay back down and began to think a little better about what he had done in the last hour.
"Wouldn't it have been simpler if I had come here using magic to hide? Or did I just want to walk around town and have fun? That might be it, it's been a while since I've socialized with unfamiliar people."
