101 – Am I not scared – 2

The settlement of the thieves’ supply and demand proceeded on the spot. Upon receiving the payment letter with the seal of the Lily Knights, the adventurers were overjoyed at the amount.

“No! Can I take this much?!”

“You fought for the kingdom, but I can’t just give you the same reward as usual. And since you’ve been with the princess’ teacher, the wise man, it’s only natural to give more.”

Adventurers and mercenaries who were blinded by the reward could not help but be happy about the additional reward of about 20%.

As the female knight said, the additional rewards came because of me, so they clung to me with joy.

“This is why I like working with the wise man? Sage-nim. If you become an S-class adventurer, don’t you want to have a fixed party with me?”

Baltin said it heartily, and his wife, Lukendi, also smiled and affirmed.

If you have a high friendship with the clients, there are things that randomly take care of more compensation, and at that time, the affinity with the people who worked together increases.

Just like back then, when Baltin and Lukendy seemed to like each other, I laughed.

I’ve done a lot of work so far, so I’m pretty close with the high-ranking people who can commission me, so I don’t know what they think, but I shook my head.

There’s just too much to do for a fixed party.

“I originally like to play solo. But if you get S rank, you have a lot of things to do, so set aside some time.”

“Oh. Of course! Call me anytime!”

Baltin thumped his hairy chest and shook his handsome mane.

That’s how it is organized, and the upper division departs with the escort of the Lily Knights.

Moving with us, Lucille smiled at Veronica.

“By the way, why is the Cardinal with Master?”

“Are there any problems?”

“It’s not like that. I heard that the church has been very busy lately. After the previous Pope’s resignation…”

“Of course it is, but there is no need for me to take care of that. Because I am the Heretic Questioner.”

“is that so?”

“I killed the devil with the sage. Isn’t it common sense for a priest to fight a devil?”

Veronica spoke lightly and slowly grabbed my arm.

“And isn’t there something wrong with traveling with a friend? Wouldn’t it be rather strange for a student to point out that?”

Lucille kept her mouth shut. Although she was smiling, her red eyes were on Veronica, and Veronica did not avoid her gaze.

“Hyeonu. Do you owe me a lot?

Since you can rent a good blacksmith’s shop as long as you’ve come all the way to the capital, it’s not difficult to make one.

However, it’s a mace that Veronica can use, not anyone else, but I wonder if it’s not a good idea to make it at a ‘good’ blacksmith’s shop.

“Okay. Then I’ll go to Dwarven City and make them for you.”

“Huh? It’s okay if we just stay together and make it?”

“Ah. The name is the mark of the wise man, but I have to make it the highest quality. Wait.”

“…make it later. Don’t suffer for nothing.”

Veronica quickly changed her words. And after thinking hard, he smiled.

“Ah. Isn’t it a summer festival soon? Are you going to participate?”

Startled, Lucille’s shoulders trembled.

“Of course.”

If you want to win the summer festival twice, you have to participate this time.

If you miss this, you won’t get it until next year.

“Then who are you going to take as a partner?”

“Well?”

No one really thought of it. You can get an achievement just by participating in the Garden Festival with someone.

“Come with me. Why don’t you pay off the remaining debt by shooting then?”

“So what?”

I responded lightly, and Veronica grinned happily at Lucille.

And Lucille just smiled as she faced her.

“Master. It’s my birthday party soon, right?”

“Uh. That’s right.”

“Then. Can you be my partner?”

“Anyway, that’s what I was going to ask for. Can you dance? If not, I’ll teach you.”

“Please!!”

At this kind of party, you can get a growth bonus depending on how well you dance.

For me, who wants Lucille to grow up, being her partner was something I had to ask for.

If I lead by using the skills of musicians, clowns, and a few other professions, I’ll be able to get a better evaluation than the halfway guys.

“Whoops…”

“Whoop whoop…”

Veronica and Lucille start laughing at each other.

Well.

The atmosphere looks cheap, but what? It will be fine.

Upon entering the capital, I broke up with Lucille. She, too, had to head to the palace for the report.

They seemed to want to go together, but they had to report it to the adventurer’s guild.

After letting her go, Veronica and I headed to the adventurer’s guild.

“It sucks. There is none.”

After the report, I looked for a request. Unfortunately, however, there was no going up to the main altar of the church. Luck can’t lead every time, but I couldn’t help but regret it.

“I can’t help it. Then I’ll go to church.”

“If we’re going to the headquarters, can we take you? If we go together, it’ll only take a day or two, right? We have that much time.”

Still, I was going to take Veronica alone, so I was going to take her, but she just shook her head slowly.

“No. I’m not going to the headquarters. They said they found demon worshipers in the northern part of the kingdom. My men have also decided to wait here, so we’ll go with them.”

“Yes? Can I help you?”

“Ahahaha… It’s okay. Don’t worry too much about it.”

“Ah~. But how can you not care~.”

“Whoops. I’m really grateful. But there are aspects of me that I don’t want to show you.”

It looks like they’re trying to torture you.

When the Heretic Questioner caught and tortured demon worshipers, there was a description that it was hard to express.

People talked about it quite a bit.

Feed mint chocolate milk through your nose.

Or just feed Zico for an entire month.

Having musicians play Justin Bieber songs over and over again, etc.

Simply poke it a few times with a heated iron skewer.

Come to think of it, it was just a useless story as always, but these are all sweet memories.

“Then see you at the summer festival. Keep your promise.”

“hahaha. Of course. And until then, I’ll make a mace.”

“Huh? There’s no need for that. But if you make it… I’ll look forward to it.”

When Veronica lightly replied, Heretic Questioners dressed similar to Veronica approached from afar.

Surely… they were the nuns of the 12 Sisters, her direct subordinates, right?

Veronica raised her hand as they and the paladins they led approached, armed with maces.

“Then I’ll go. God bless you.”

Veronica, who kindly held my cheek, gave her blessing with a smile and joined the Heretic Questioners.

After wearing the black robe given by the paladin and putting on the hood to become one of the Heretic Questioners, I went back to the adventurer’s guild after watching her get away.

“Is there a request? A request?”

“Of course there is! But hey… it’s not something a sage would do. Cleaning the barn at the Trondy Merchant…”

“I don’t care whatsoever, so give me everything.”

When I have time, I’ll have to quickly fill in the points.

“Oh, you’ve worked hard.”

When I came out after cleaning the barn, the head of the Trondy Merchants came out to me and was waiting for me with a lot of apologies.

“No. It’s okay. It’s a request.”

“Yeah, but that’s the case. Originally, I was going to leave it to the F-class adventurers…”

Something like cleaning the barn and maintenance of the groundwater.

Most of those trivial quests with low risk are regarded as F- and E-class quests.

Of course, there weren’t many adventurers who wanted to do such a trivial and low-reward quest.

The job of an adventurer is a job that people enter dreaming of a splendid future from the beginning.

As a result, such requests are naturally ignored.

I was full.

These quests give you a stat bonus if you work hard.

“I haven’t cleaned the barn for a long time… so I have to use magic, magic, or a lot of energy to clean it… I’m sorry. You did it all by yourself…”

After driving livestock such as cows and horses in the barn using the shadow wolf, they were immobilized, and the barn was cleared out with water magic along with the priest’s sanctuary.

The task itself was easily completed by putting new straw in the clean barn with telekinesis and commanding the wolves to push the livestock back.

Because it requires various skills, there are various types of party members, or you have to hit it with your body, but that has nothing to do with me.

Would a wise man be a wise man for nothing?

“Anyway, when you’re weak, you have to train by doing these things, but these days, all adventurers are just pretending.”

“That’s right. Even back then…”

Sang Sang-joo rubbed his palms and agreed with my words, then took out a pocket from his bosom.

“Anyway, you performed perfectly… I put a little more here.”

“There’s no need for that… Then, if you have a request like this, call me again.”

“Oh, my God. I’m sorry. Really.”

Wiping the dripping sweat with a handkerchief, he sees me off on my way.

Once one order was completed…

The next request…

“Well.”

A group of requests to kill small monsters.

Are they the monsters of the mountain behind the village in the outskirts of the capital?

If this is the case, I can finish it soon.

“Hey, wait a minute!!”

A black-haired female swordsman, a lizardman monk, and a male wizard who was a werewolf were running towards me.

The female prosecutor who seemed to be the leader of the party gasped and shouted.

“Hey, hey. You’re the wise man, right?”

Uh… this woman.

Is it a face you know?

“I’m Hey. I’m Ltiwen, an F-class adventurer. That… if you don’t mind, the sage-nim’s request to kill small monsters. Can you hand it over to us?”

“We have to upgrade soon, but we haven’t processed enough requests yet…”

“No, of course it’s not free! There’s this…”

The lizardman monk who took out the pocket was three dirty silver coins.

Looking at their outfits, they looked pretty poor.

So three silver coins would be enough to make them rich and happy tonight.

Please ask for a request while yielding to such things. It seems pretty urgent.

“Hey… three silver coins is more than the reward for the success of the request. Uh, how can that not happen…?”

“Hmm…”

Obviously, this wasn’t a request to go to a dungeon, right? I laughed after checking the request form.

“Don’t do that, let’s do it together.”

“…Yes, Neet?!”

Black-haired female swordsman.

The leader of the party, Le Thiwen, flinched back in surprise.

“Uh… Gwa, are you okay? The wise man is an A-class adventurer…”

“Of course. Helping Viscount Laurit’s runaway daughter isn’t difficult at all.”

Le Thiwen Laurit, daughter of Viscount Laurit.

A noble of the kingdom related to the ‘Haunted Mansion’ achievement.

I reached out to his only mischievous daughter.

The two people next to them didn’t know the identity of Le Thiwen, so they just kept their eyes wide open.

Either that or not, she stood firm, wary of me.

“It’s a bit much to say it’s a price. I hope I introduce you to your father later. Will it be okay? Of course, since he ran away from home because he longed for an adventurer, if he gets scolded for introducing me, I’ll convince the viscount.”

Teach me how to keep a disobedient daughter locked up at home.

If you’re going to have an adventurer’s life there, you should also tell them to raise their skills a bit.

From my point of view, if you are as good as Le Tiwen now, it’s perfect for getting caught by bandits and dying.

“…how do you… know me?

how do you know

I know because I saw it in the game.

But it’s okay to talk like this.

“I’m a sage.”

report of the former family.

I’ll use my Deus Ex Machina to convince him.

– Kieeck!!

The last small monster. The goblin shaman’s magic reflected and tore his body apart.

I am a bewildered lizardman monk. Hike explained.

“In the case of low-level magic, you can reverse it, so do it when dealing with a shaman. Monk is a skill that everyone knows. If you do anything, go to a training session and learn it. It costs money, but I’ll teach you well.”

“Uh… uh. Advice, thank you.”

“And the wizard there. His name was… oh, Loxton?”

“Yes!”

“It’s good to increase casting speed, but completion is more important to wizards. How many times have you failed this time?”

“Uh… all, five…”

“Seven times. I’m going to hit the one that failed when I tried to use a dual spell.”

“Ugh.”

“For a wizard, the most important thing is to succeed in magic. If you fail to do it quickly, you won’t be able to die. If you want to speed up casting, do a lot of duels. That will increase your arithmetic power and affect your casting speed.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Eh. And…”

I put a heel on Le Thiwen, who was gasping for breath with a wrinkled face.

“The swordsmanship itself seems to be a fairly advanced swordsmanship, but you haven’t trained properly. The use of feet is weak. Especially the lower body is weak… It’s better to build strength first with quests like cleaning the stable or cleaning the groundwater.”

“Ugh…”

“You can’t say you hate it when you run away from your hometown to find freedom and live as an adventurer. Originally, freedom comes with responsibility.”

Still, it seemed like he didn’t like what he didn’t like, but Le Thiwen let out a small sigh.

Well, if you’re not an adventurer, but an adventurer from an aristocratic background, you really don’t want to do such a cleaning request.

Not to mention, the Viscounts of Laurit are not poor families either.

But what can I do?

You shouldn’t cover it when you’re splitting it.

If you don’t like that, don’t run away and use the power of your family to die. Come out after training.

“Well then. You’ve worked hard. I’ll leave the report to you. Don’t take out my name. If you do, you’ll die. Really.”

“Ah… yes. That… instruction. Go, thank you.”

“What. Ah. And Le Thiwen.”

“Yes?”

I aimed the moonlight at her startled. A brand of light is etched on her forehead and then disappears.

“What… ha, did you do?”

“I’ve got a brand on my forehead, so it’s no use trying to escape. Make sure you pay the price.”

I smiled at the sullen woman.

Still, I can’t stop my achievements.

ruler.

Shall we go back and have dinner and teach Lucille?

After returning to the palace after a rewarding day of work, the queen invited them to dinner.

Speaking of dinner, there was nothing special about it. The Queen doesn’t enjoy luxuries, just having dinner together.

Me, Lucille, Raquel, and even the officers of the Lily Knights were participating in the dinner, which looked quite simple to be the queen’s diet.

Is it because there are too many people?

The atmosphere is subtly friendly.

Sherbet came out as a dessert to end the meal happily and happily.

and! sherbet! It’s what I like!

Just as she was about to eat the sweet and sour apple sorbet with a spoon, the queen, who was scratching the bowl with her spoon, opened her mouth.

“Come to think of it, Sage. I heard you’re looking forward to the summer festival. Is that true?”

“Yes. It is. Why?”

“Maybe this summer festival will be canceled.”

what is this sound?

Wasn’t our atmosphere good until just now?

Why are you breaking it down like this?

Raquel carefully explained to me, who was perplexed.

“The priest in charge of the festival committee reported. If we open this year’s festival, the spirit of the river will be angry, so I think we’ll have to cancel it.”

under. The spirit of the river is angry?

Aren’t you afraid of my anger?
