Adventurers are not as easy to be as they imagined.

It's one thing to be constantly faced with life-threatening dangers.

How to survive well is the most important problem.

A week away from home, Narido Hawke discovers that adventurers are not what he imagined.

It's not that he goes there, and there are well-paid tasks waiting for him to take on.

Even in the Kingdom of Limodingham, the exams and quest issuing bodies of the Adventurers' Guild are only available in the big cities.

In addition, the political situation in the Kingdom of Limodingham is relatively stable, there are not many bandit gangs in the country, and some caravan escort missions with low pay are also difficult to find.

So these days, Narido has not received a single assignment, and no one has hired him.

But when he is away from home, he needs food, lodging, feeding his horses, maintaining his equipment, and taking a hot bath...... These all cost money.

And as an adult warrior, Narido eats three times as much as an ordinary person, and the sturdy horse eats more, and does not eat inferior hay, and must add bean feed, otherwise he will not be able to hurry.

There is also a hot bath, which in this day and age, is quite a luxury, and the cost is not small...... But Narido has a habit of cleanliness and doesn't like the smell of sweat, so he has to take a shower every day...... When he was at home, his mother and maid would boil him a bucket of hot water at the right temperature.

But today, after staying in a cheap inn, for the first time, Narido gave up taking a bath.

I didn't eat enough for dinner, and I was lying in bed, looking at the stars in the sky, and I began to feel a little homesick.

He ran out of money.

Yesterday, when I was taking a bath in the bathhouse, the money bag was stolen, and the remaining more than 30 double-pillar gold coins and more than 100 sacred deer silver coins were all stolen...... This money would have been enough for him to rush to the royal capital in style, and then in the adventurer's union, he will get an adventurer's badge.

"What should I do, old man?"

After looking for a whole day and not finding the thief, the owner of the bathhouse called out the thugs instead and did not compensate, and Narido, who was hungry for a day without money, felt at a loss.

"Go to the pawnshop and put off the leather armor you're wearing, it should be worth a few dozen silver coins. ”

Zhou Ming said, in fact, he had already reminded Narido that the bathhouse was the place where thieves haunted the most, and told him that it was best not to take a bath every day, but ......

When you come out, you have to pay some tuition.

It's not home after all.

25 Silver Sacred Deer Coins.

After some haggling, the leather armor, which was well-made and had good defense, was worth at least 3 gold coins (1 gold coin = 100 silver coins), and was only less than one-tenth of its value...... In this town, there is only one pawnshop.

This amount of money is only enough for Narido and the war horse to have a full meal, and then find a hotel with good conditions to stay overnight.

So on this unfortunate day, in this town, Narido felt that everyone looked at him with schadenfreude.

He had a deep sense of dislike for everyone.

For the first time, I also learned to save money, and tried to make the only bit of silver in my hand can be used for two more days.

So, he started to feel homesick.

But the old man comforted him a few words, and gave him a note, telling him to take out the little money he had left, buy some paper (there is paper in this world), and ask if there is anyone in this town who wants to write letters, Narido can read and write, and he can provide the service of writing and delivering letters.

"Can you make money writing letters?" asked Narido.

"Yes, and you're bound to be asked to write about it. ”

Zhou Ming said that the illiteracy rate in this world is extremely high, and few people at the bottom know about it, but the handicraft industry is quite developed, and there are many workshops and hired workers in big cities, and these people can't go home twice a year.

Narido provides a letter writing service, as long as the price is not very high, and after it is delivered to the sending target, it also provides a letter reading service, which can be said to be quite intimate, and the service level is much better than those who greet people but are easy to forget.

As for the price, after removing the cost of paper and ink, Narido earned 5 silver coins for a letter.

"Is this really going to work?"

Narido was suspicious, according to the plan provided by Zhou Ming, he shouted in the town early in the morning, and after a while, there was really a middle-aged woman who was willing to pay for him to send a letter to her son who was working in the city.

Narido was overjoyed, and on the spot, based on the middle-aged woman's account, wrote a letter with beautiful handwriting, which attracted many onlookers to exclaim.

"This adventurer is literate?"

"It's so beautifully written. ”

"I'll write one too, help me write one!"

The demand was overwhelming, and in one morning, Narido's gang wrote more than twenty letters and earned hundreds of silver coins.

There is even a shop owner who wants to hire him as the bookkeeper in his store, and while helping him keep accounts, he teaches his son to read and write, with a monthly salary of 5 gold coins, which attracts another exclamation!

5 gold coins, including food and lodging, this treatment is really a lot.

Of course, Narido refused, his ambition was not to be an accountkeeper, but to be a great adventurer!

And the more than 100 silver coins he earned by writing letters were enough for him to rush to the next city.

Narido, who made some money for the first time, was also very excited and full of confidence.

He also asked curiously: "Grandpa, why can you make so much money by writing and delivering letters for people, but you can't earn it for other jobs?"

"Of course, there are too many powerful people in this world, and the value of knowledge is naturally higher. ”

"However, the money you earn from writing and delivering letters for people is still not much, and if you want to get the adventurer badge, you have to prepare a sum of money...... Sell your horse when the time comes, you don't want to write to others all the time. ”

"Sell the horse......?"

That's inconvenient, isn't it?

"Adventurers are not knights, most adventurers don't need horses, of course, if you must use them, the old man will help you find a way to do it. ”

"Okay~"

Narido nodded, and then began to ask the old man for advice on cultivation.

Zhou Ming asked the system to simulate his voice and answer on his behalf.

……

A month later.

Narido, who was dusty and had a short beard on his lips, followed a caravan and arrived at the royal capital of Ducui.

A city with a population of nearly 300,000, Narido was amazed.

The prosperity of the royal capital opened his eyes.

Complete the task of delivering the letter in his hand, and then sell the war horse he was riding, and he has more than 50 gold coins in his hand.

This is enough for him to go to the Adventurer's Guild, get a career badge, and become a professional adventurer.

In terms of strength appraisal, Narido's strength is recognized as an "intermediate swordsman...... During this time, he made rapid progress.

Although there are a large number of "intermediate swordsmen" all over the street, Narido is less than 18 years old, which makes people very optimistic about his future, so after getting the adventurer badge, many adventurer unions extended olive branches to him, and some of the conditions offered by the union made him quite excited.

After consulting his grandfather for the idea, Narido joined a union called the Red Dragon's Horn.

And put forward his request: he would not stay in this union forever, for a maximum of three to five years, he wanted to venture further afield.

The president of the "Red Dragon's Horn" union agreed, saying that he would train him well.

Zhou Ming also felt that joining a good union would be more helpful than being a lone ranger who fought alone...... The treacherous, fledgling Narido needs some old birds to take him with him before he can fly high alone.

In this way, after joining the "Red Dragon's Horn" union, Narido officially entered the role of "adventurer" and officially began his adventure.

……

Zhou Ming relaxed a little and no longer paid too much attention to Narido's situation.

The main line that belongs to him has to be officially opened.
