11. Intended
After the group entered the small town of Kabia, because Carter and the others were going to the mercenary union to hand in a mission, Izumi also went.
On the way to the Mercenary Guild, there were many stalls placed on the side of the road, most of which sold the goods that the mercenaries had received from the forest, such as demonic beast meat and herbs that could not be stored for too long, and some strange things, which were full of interest.
Seeing that he was interested in those things, Arthur introduced him: "Most of the goods here are actually not very valuable, but it is a pity to throw away them, generally valuable things they will directly send to the store that will buy them to sell, after all, there are mercenaries who come and go here, and they don't have much money, but occasionally there are people who don't know the goods to sell good things here, so some people will come here to try their luck." ”
Roger complained: "Although you look very experienced, but in fact, these are all things my brother told you." ”
"Hehe, don't worry about that." Arthur chuckled dryly and changed the subject, "Alright, let's hurry up and hand in the mission." ”
Carter: "I'll hand over the mission, you can wait for me at the tavern next door, maybe I can find a place now, and it will be too late." ”
Because most mercenaries like to drink, there are many taverns next to the mercenary guild, but there are too many people here, so several taverns are often full every night, and it is difficult to find empty seats.
Benny: "Let's go to the last place we went to, we haven't had a drink in a long time." ”
The tavern Benny was talking about was not far from the guild, and luckily there were a lot of customers in the store, but there were a few empty tables, so they chose a more remote and unobtrusive place to sit down.
Arthur asked Izumi beside him, "What do you want to eat, Izumi?" Although this is a tavern, they also serve simple meals, and the barbecue is very good. ”
Roger: "Haven't you gotten tired of the barbecue you've eaten for so long?" Why don't you drink thick soup? How about a bread and vegetable salad? It seems like we haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. ”
Izumi: "I can do it, and Shanado is just like me." "Since he wants to pretend to be a human, Shanaiduo naturally can't eat elf food in front of everyone.
Because there were so many people in the store, I couldn't wait for the staff to serve me for a while, so in the end, Benny went to the counter to order.
After a while, Benny returned, still with a few drinks in hand.
"The clerk said that the kitchen would be very busy at this time, and I was afraid that we would have to wait a while, so I ordered some drinks first." Benny placed three cups of juice in front of Izumi, Shanaido, and Arthur, while he and the others had wine, and even Carter's share was ordered.
Arthur wasn't so happy: "Why is mine also juice?" I want to drink like you. ”
Benny smiled: "Underage little ghosts are not qualified to drink, and I don't want to be scolded by Uncle Carter." ”
"You started drinking when you were about my age." Arthur muttered, but didn't insist on drinking anymore.
Izumi picked up the cup and took a sip, the pale yellow drink was sweet and sour, a bit like a sweet peach mixed with a sour pear.
"Shanaiduo, is it delicious?"
"Shala." Just talking about the taste, it's really good.
"I think it's pretty good, too." Perhaps because of the fact that he has become smaller, Izumi has found that his taste has also changed to a child's taste that prefers sweet and sour.
Halfway through the drink, Carter finally arrived.
He sat down in an empty seat, took a sip of the wine Benny had ordered for him to quench his thirst, and then placed the bag containing the reward he had just received on the table: "A total of 50 gold coins, ten gold coins per person, all of them are collected and don't spend them indiscriminately." ”
Arthur took his share: "Although I already knew, I still think that ten gold coins is really a small amount, not enough than half of the wand I want." ”
"Be content, although it's only a low-level task, but the magic sunflower itself is not dangerous, it's just that it's more difficult to find, plus the reward is also high in the same level of tasks, if it weren't for our luck, if we just happened to run into it, this task wouldn't be our turn to take it." Roger put away his share.
"That's right." Arthur sighed, then took out half of his share of the reward and put it on the table, "I only need half of the reward, I originally asked you to bring me here, so you don't have to give me the full reward." ”
But no one else asked for it, "Give it to you and you will keep it." ”
Since they agreed to take him on an adventure together, they naturally had already agreed on the distribution of rewards.
What's more, although Arthur is young and knows very little magic, compared to martial artists, magicians are a very rare and popular profession, even if they are just magic apprentices, they are also very popular among mercenaries, not to mention that among them, except for Carter, whose level is higher and has reached the peak of the third order, everyone else is only the second order, and compared with Arthur, he is not so powerful, how can he be qualified to dislike him.
Seeing that everyone didn't accept it, Arthur had no choice but to take back the money again, but he still said, "Then I'll invite you to this meal." ”
This time, everyone didn't refuse, and the price of a meal was not enough for a gold coin even if it was added to the wine.
Quan hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "You don't need to count me and Shanaiduo for the treat, is it okay to replace our meal money with a magic core?" ”
"No, no, of course I said please to invite everyone together, how can we be without you, not to mention that we have also stuck a lot of lightning light along the way, and ate so much Warcraft meat, now we should treat you to a meal, you don't have to be so polite."
So Izumi had no choice but to give up and receive this heart.
Then after a while, the tavern people finally brought the food.
Izumi took a bite of the bread dipped in the thick soup, and then ate the vegetable salad, to be honest, after eating the barbecue for so many days, his stomach was a little uncomfortable, and now he can finally stop eating barbecue.
Roger was happy to see him eating, and he was also happy: "How is it?" The soup and salad are also delicious, right? ”
Izumi nodded with food in his mouth, "Hmm." ”
Carter took a sip of wine and asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "Koizumi, do you have any plans after that?" ”
Since arriving in Kabia, the topics that everyone has deliberately avoided have been raised, and there is always a sense of relief.
The eyes of the people at the table were fixed on Izumi's body, waiting for his answer.
"I'm going to sell those magic cores for money first, and then see if there is any place to rent a house and settle down first, and then go find a job." This is also what Izumi thought about from the beginning.
"Work?" If this answer is said by an adult, it is not a problem, but if it is said by a ten-year-old, it is different.
"yes, don't look at me like this, I have a lot of part-time work experience." Izumi proudly said that when he traveled around the world with Shanaiduo, half of his travel expenses were earned by his part-time job.
What kind of situation will make a small child have a lot of part-time work experience?
The eyes of everyone who were making up their own brains were full of pity when they looked at him.
Nance stretched out her hand across the table and rubbed Izumi's little head, her brown hair was soft and she couldn't put it down.
"I don't know where you used to work, but no one in our country would want to hire a little devil like you."
"Yes, you're so young, even if someone really invites you, I'm afraid you won't get much money." "Like me, I'm six years older than you, but I wanted to get a part-time job, but no one wanted to use me. ”
Sixteen years old is not too small to change to the original world of Quan, but this is the O'Ou continent, this is when ordinary people in this world can live to be one hundred and fifty years old, sixteen years old is really not too big.
Roger: "I won't use you because magicians are paid more than the average person, right?" ”
Arthur retorted: "No, I went to the magic shop to apply for a job, and it was clearly said that if you work part-time, it would be better to have a magic level, but they said that I was too young to hire me. ”
Carter was surprised: "That's why you suddenly said you want to come out with us?" ”
Arthur scratched his hair with a dry smile: "No, I've been looking forward to the adventure for a long time, but I originally wanted to come with you next year, after all, my magic should be more powerful than it is now." ”
Carter ignored him, but turned back to Izumi and asked, "Like they said, you're so young, it's hard to live alone, and most importantly, you don't have any identification." ”
Speaking of which, it goes back to the original question.
"How do I get the proof?"
Carter: "If you have a professional certification from any of the professional guilds in Bartland, then you automatically have resident status in your home country. ”
Atholl: "If Koizumi wants to do so, just go to that place to register for the exam." ”
Because he was in a noisy tavern, even Arthur knew to be careful, so he used "that place" instead of "Beast Tamer's Guild" to vaguely pass the past.
Carter reached out and tapped Ather's head, "Which one do you think Izumi is suitable to take there?" ”
Nance: "Either one is not suitable, we asked Koizumi not to take them with us in the past just to avoid attracting attention, but now we are taking them there, so it will be the opposite." ”
Benny covered his chin: "That's right, but in that case, where else can I go?" Koizumi: Do you know martial arts or magic? ”
Izumi shook his head, he was a real weak researcher, the kind that even a green caterpillar couldn't beat.
"Then it seems that this one will not work, Uncle Carter, is there any other way?"
"There is another way that is more suitable for Koizumi, because you are a child, and if someone adopts you, then you will automatically have resident status." Carter coughed dryly, his face turned red suspiciously because he didn't know if it was because of drinking or something else, "So Koizumi, do you want to come to be my child?" ”
