63 55. Encounters In The Woods
The day we signed up for Adventurer, we left without a request. The reason is simply because it's already late. From now on, I will be able to request for luggage carrying and other chores, but it will be quite late and it will interfere with my school life tomorrow, so there were no lines today.
And after school the next day, we come back, and we find the billboards on which the requests are posted. Today, by the way, Emma and Burdon are also here and are registering adventurers with Mr. Rabbi.
"Come on, how much shall I take? I knew you'd rather have a crusade system than chores ~"
and Douglis asks. Unfortunately, Goblin, Caterpillar, or one E-rank Wolf, Battlebee, or Slime. The slime, by the way, is not some RPG-style cute slime from a previous life, but a drooling slime like an amoeba. Looks pretty grotesque with viscera in sight. And Slime's attack, he throws up acid. It's acid strong enough to melt if it's a normal iron sword.
"I thought it might be goblins or something?
"Uh-huh. It's the same as when I was in the village."
and Douglis disputing Lene's opinion. Even if they say that, that's the only crusading system I can take, so I can't help it. Request forms on bulletin boards are stretched out to B rank. When it gets above A-rank, it seems that it manages it at reception because of requests from nobles and important requests.
"Let's not get goblins. It's about an hour's walk from here. I'm in the woods, so I can get there right away."
"Right. It doesn't matter how many goblins you take down, you can go with this crowd."
and Kate agrees. Goblins are a constant crusader. When these guys let go, they're increasing on their own. They're half as unproductive as the black ones. Most of them seem to have goblins, but they can be females, and human women can be attacked and nursery beds.
Besides, they say the meat is too yummy to eat, a completely useless creature. If you leave too much alone, they're going to build a settlement.
It seems that there were aristocrats who used to let go of the Goblin settlement, and even though they knew it was increasing, there were also aristocrats who too many goblins had attacked and destroyed their aristocratic territory because they were reluctant to give up military expenses and money to ask for adventurers.
At that time, there were about 5,000 goblins, and there was goblinking as a leader. The Goblin King is a B-rank demon, and it seems that the other goblins will be nearly two metres of giant compared to the size of an adult male's hips.
They said the people were about 10,000 loose, but few could fight, and by the time the National Army arrived, the man had been killed and the woman had been offended by goblins. It doesn't matter what the year is, from girls under 10 down there to old women up there. Looks like some women were already bloated.
Ever since that incident, the Adventurer Guild has issued a constant crusade request. Normally goblins have nowhere to sell and they don't make money, but the success fee is guaranteed because the state is offering money and asking for it. For this reason, for adventurers without money, it can be a good request to make money. It is still quite low, so it disappears after a day of use.
Crusading goblins makes 30 bells for one goblin. Wang capital is enough to have dinner at 300 bells if it's cheap, so if you work hard, it's enough to have dinner.
Incidentally, the currency of this continent is called Bell, which is a 1 bell coin, a 10 bell coin and a 100 bell coin, which has been resized with copper coins. More than that, there are 1,000 bell notes and 10,000 bell notes. In this way, banknotes are already used on this continent.
This is something that can be used in common on the continent, and because special magic is used, it seems that counterfeiting is not possible. Anything, they spread it hundreds of years ago by brave men. That was the time to carry silver and gold coins, but when the brave men who hated to carry them with Jalajara taught and spread the banknotes to this day. I sometimes wonder if it would be that easy to get there, but maybe there was a lot going on.
With that in mind, it seems that Emma and Burdon's registration is over, and Mr. Rabbi is calling.
"Your two registrations are closed. Will you take the request today?
"Yes, I'm going to go to the woods and hunt goblins"
"Really? Ray, I'm sure you guys will be fine, but be careful."
And while Mr. Rabbi drops us off, we follow the Adventurer Alliance. Purchase the necessary water at a nearby store and exit the gate. I don't mind making it out of water magic or anything, but not everyone can use it, and if I don't have it when it deviates, I'll buy it because it's life-threatening. I'll buy it in case the magic runs out.
And for about an hour out of the gate, walking down the paved road, you see the woods off the road. This is where we're going today.
Speaking of which, I've been down that road before, but I've never been in the woods.
"That's because you didn't have to go in. How dare you come in here like an adventurer?
Kate says. You sure don't normally go in there. Trees about 3 meters tall grow depressed. When you go inside, the sunlight will only go in slightly because of the trees.
"All right, then, let's go in!
and Douglis takes the lead. Raine sighs when she sees it. You're getting used to seeing this.
Everyone following Douglis. Keep going through the woods. I'd like you to be a little more vigilant.
Keep walking for a few minutes.... It doesn't matter how much. Instead of demons after entering this forest, animals don't even come out. You can't even hear the birds and all you can hear is the swinging sounds of the trees. Everyone else moves on talking and doesn't seem to notice. However,
"Ray, something's wrong"
And Elea seemed to think too. I don't feel good going inside like this. To not go any further, I tried to stop everyone, but it was too late.
"Oh, I suddenly opened it.... Well, there's someone here."
We arrived where there was nothing, as the trees had grown depressed until now, but only the place had holes. And there he was.
"Oh? It's unusual for a human to come here."
and long silver hair with purple skin. His ears were pointy, and a man stood with the monocle in his right eye.
