Day 511-520/Day 517

Day 517 / 47th day
We were able to arrive at the "Madralen Mission City" safely before noon. The "Madralen Mission City" was a city located in the middle of a mountain, cut horizontally. As with other cities, it is covered with magnificent walls to protect it from external enemies, but the walls differ in that some parts are made of shiny black trees, some parts are made of rocks with countless thorns, some parts are made of countless bones of various sizes, and some parts are made of something that looks like slime.
I wondered if this was an outgrowth of various【Beliefs】. Anyway, as we approached, there was no particular checkpoint, and it seemed that anyone could easily enter. However, there seemed to be many believers in the gods of battle living near the gate, and there were more muscular men and women armed with weapons than others. I could hear the shouts of training, and this seemed to be their way of preparing for foreign enemies.
We toured around a bit, but there was no uniformity in the buildings, the clothes, the food, the race or species. 　It was interesting in many ways to see. Just by taking a slightly different road, you would feel as if you were in a completely different city. From the way the buildings are built to the way the people who pass by are dressed and of different races, you can easily feel like you've traveled to a city in the world. Thinking that I would buy some souvenirs for the anteater boys on my way home, I headed for the "Gate Street of Heavenly Eclipse" first.

RAWS
“四十七日目　／　五■十七■目”
朝から街道を進む事しばし。
昼前には無事に≪マドラレン宣教都≫に到着する事が出来た。
≪マドラレン宣教都≫は山の中腹を水平に斬ったような場所にある都市だった。
他の都市と同じように外敵に備えた立派な壁で覆われているものの、壁は光沢のある黒い樹木で構成された部分もあれば、無数の棘が生えた岩石が使われた部分、大小様々な無数の骨が使われた部分、スライムのような何かが使われている部分など差違がある。
これも様々な【信仰】の発露なのだろうか。
ともあれ近付くと、特に検問はなく、誰でも簡単に中に入れるようだ。
ただ門の近くには戦闘に関する【神々】の信者達が多く暮らしているようで、武装した筋骨隆々の男女が他よりも多い。
鍛錬のかけ声も聞こえてくるのだが、これが外敵に対する備えになっているようだ。
少し中を観光してみたが、建物はもちろん、服装や食べ物、人種も種族も統一感皆無だった。
見ていて色々と面白い。少し道が違うだけで、全く違う都市に来たような錯覚すら覚えるだろう。
建物の作りから行き交う人々の服装も人種も違うので、気軽に世界の都市を旅した雰囲気が味わえる。
帰る時にはここで蟻人少年達に何か土産でも買ってやろうと思いつつ、まずは≪天食の門前通り≫に向かうのだった。
