The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 222 Golden Comet

Chapter 222 Golden Comet

Lathel was on the street with Akna, buying some cooking ingredients to replenish the space bag.

After all, he now had a lot of space, so storing food was extremely easy.

In fact... he bought a lot of things.

Although Akna said that he could let the servants do jobs like this, Lathel immediately refused; he felt that buying food like this was also a way for him to relieve stress and feel the bustle of the street.

Lathel bought a lot of things. After all, he had three space gems given to him by Lilith, Ryne, and Charlotte, plus his system space was extremely large and could store food forever.

Anyway, although he didn't need much, he still stored as much food as possible.

Lathel also knew he could not live in wealth and abundance forever. Surely one day he will live in poverty, so he thought it was better to prepare in advance.

Or if he gets lost in a forest or somewhere without food, he can still live well for a long time.

Besides, Lathel also bought a lot of necessities to supplement and fill the entire system space.

Akna, who was accompanying Lathel, felt strange. Unable to control herself anymore, she asked: "Young master, why did you buy so many necessities and food?" We are not short of food."

Lathel heard that, smiled, and said: "In this life, there are many things that will happen that we cannot know and cannot predict."

"It may seem pointless for me to hoard food, but if I don't have food stored, I won't be able to have peace of mind."

"Besides… Hoarding food like this is not meaningless. If we go out for a long time, this amount of food is of great significance."

"For example, if I go into a forest and meet a monster that I cannot defeat, and I need to hide in a cave for a month. At that time, the food I stored will become of great significance."

Akna: "…" (? ? |||)

"Young master, don't think so much. If you go out, the maids will follow you to protect you."

"What if you can't follow me?"

Akna was silent, rather, she didn't want to explain anymore, as long as the young master was happy.

'But… it seems the young master is very afraid of being hungry.' Akna thought to herself: 'Perhaps before coming here, the young master had a very bad time; maybe he starved to the point that he almost died. That's why he buys so much food to keep.'

The way Akna looked at Lathel, changed from confusion to pity and sadness.

Lathel ignored her gaze and continued shopping for more things.

Not only did he shop, but he also took this opportunity to go for a walk. After all, he has been in this world for a long time but has yet to walk around and see more of it.

"Heh?! That's..." Lathel looked into the distance, saw an architectural building that stood out more than the surrounding houses, and immediately felt strange.

Akna followed his gaze, saw the building that Lathel was looking at, and explained: "That is the adventurer's centre."

"Adventurer Center?"?Lathel frowned and asked. Even though he could guess what that place was used for, he didn't want to show that he was smart, so he continued to probe for more information.

"Ah! It is a place for people to register as adventurers, receive quests, and earn money." Akna began to explain.

"Besides, you can also issue quests there for other adventurers to carry out."

"Oh!" Lathel felt a bit excited. Coming to a fantasy world without becoming an adventurer felt like a big mistake.

He smiled and said: "Akna, I want to go there and visit a little, is it okay?"

"Of course…" Akna saw Lathel so excited and did what he wanted.

Besides, she also felt that Lathel was pitiful. The Adventurer's Centre was a very ordinary place to everyone, but when Lathel saw that place, he was very excited.

'This proves that the young master has never been to such places. Just how difficult a life must the young master have lived to not know about the Adventurer's Centre?'

'No OK. I must report this to Master so she can make up for a little of Young Master's past.'

Akna nodded, determined to make up for Lathel's previous difficult time.

When Lathel saw Akna's eyes full of pity as she looked at him, he felt confused.

Going to the Adventurer's Centre, Lathel now felt the atmosphere of a fantasy world.

In the large hall, many people were moving. In the waiting area, a lot of people were sitting, but they were all sitting in groups.

Akna hastily explained: "Young master, most adventurers work in groups, so they can support each other and cover each other's weaknesses."

"Look in the distance; that's a group of basic adventurers. They have 5 to 6 people, including magicians, healers, swordsmen, shield warriors, assassins, and a hunter."

"Of course, the occupations in the group can change depending on the purpose of the group participating in the quests."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, feeling that this was very similar to the video games or manga he had seen.

"Heh?! Are there other races in this place?" Lathel saw a few people with animal ears and animal tails and asked.

"That's right." Akna nodded and explained: "Although the Karol Empire does not allow the Lumier Church to set up headquarters or organise operations, it still allows other races to come to trade or do quests for adventurers as usual. often."

"The Karol Empire is one of the few places that allows other races to live together peacefully; that's why many other races come to this place to make money."

Lathel nodded and said: "Ah! I once heard that the Queen of the Empire is a terrible person, but it seems like all the rumours are false."

"The empire that has her will surely prolong its prosperity."

Hearing that, Akna was extremely surprised. In fact, everyone thought that Catheryne was a queen with blood-stained hands.

After all, when Catheryne held the throne, she killed almost all members of the royal family. She even killed all the nobles who opposed or intended to stage a coup.

The day that Queen Catheryne sat on the throne was also the day that blood flowed into rivers in the Karol Empire, corpses piled up into a mountain, and the smell of corpses and blood covered the entire Empire.

Everyone said that the Karol Empire in Catheryne's hands would surely fade away like a pile of cold ash.

But in the end... those who said it all died, but Queen Catheryne still stood. The Karol Empire still exists, and it has even grown stronger and more prosperous than in the past.

"Rumors are just rumors. The nobles of the old era who don't like the Queen continue to speak ill of her, but that's the only thing they can do now."

Lathel nodded. He suddenly remembered something and asked: "Can I register to become an adventurer?"

"Of course. Even if you want, I can take you on a tour of the Dungeon."

"Heh?! Does this place even have a Dungeon?" Lathel felt extremely surprised and asked.

"That's right. The Dungeon of the Karol Empire is known as the most dangerous Dungeon of the continent." Akna smiled and said: "However, if the young master brings me or a group of maids, you can freely visit from the 1st floor to the 40th floor, it will be like walking in the garden."

Hearing that, Lathel immediately realised that not only could the maids do housework inside the castle, but their fighting power was also extremely terrifying.

"Heh?! What do you say? Why can't I accept more quests?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, catching his and Akna's attention. While they were feeling confused, the people around them started to talk.

"Ah! It's that girl again."

"That's right, today she took all of our missions again."

"Huh! Even if you take many quests but cannot complete them, it is useless."

"That girl is also pitiful. Every quest she accepts fails. The failure rate is up to 90%, and this has made the Adventurer Centre not dare to let her accept any more quests."

"It's strange, tasks like finding lost cats or pulling weeds are extremely simple, why does she still fail?"

"I don't know, maybe she's a comet, so unlucky that she can't be any more unlucky."

"Oy! If so, we should stay away from her, since her bad luck is like a comet, it can spread to us."

Lathel frowned, not because of everyone's words but because a notice board appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Detect the person chosen by the 'Comet Card'.]

Lathel: "…"

He remembered that after 'signing in', he received an item called 'Comet Card'.

However, before he could see the content, the card disappeared.

'Could it be... that card chose that girl? System, are you kidding me?'

Seeing that the girl seemed about to cry while arguing with the receptionist, he felt extremely embarrassed and guilty.

He did not think that his item would harm others like this.

Lathel was extremely hesitant at this time, not knowing what to do. Akna saw Lathel frown, and her eyes also looked towards the blonde girl.

Akna, of course, knows who she is. Anyway, anyone entering the Capital Karol is monitored and controlled extremely strictly.

That's why she knew that the blonde girl was Alec's servant. However, Akna thought of something in her heart and asked: "Young master, are you thinking about something?"

"Ah! No, I… what I mean is… I feel that that girl is a bit pitiful, and I want to help her a little." Lathel said, as he felt ashamed in his heart.

Hearing that, Akna smiled gently, feeling that Lathel was indeed a good person.

'But… if the young master knew that the girl was Alec's servant, would he still want to help her?' Akna wondered in her heart.

She immediately spoke up: "According to the intelligence I have, that girl is Alec's servant."

"Maybe she's helping Alec level up his Adventurer card. But for some reason, she is extremely unlucky,and fails every mission, even the simplest ones."

"Ah! She… is she that unlucky?" Lathel avoided Akna's eyes.

But Akna didn't seem to realise that, she just continued talking: "That's right. That's why people gave her the nickname 'Golden Comet'."
