Chapter 12: Exploration
"Hey, Andrew, the academy will go out in a few days, do you want to go out with me?" Mistre asked me when he returned to my house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I watched as she put down the hairpin on her head, let a head of burgundy hair fall out on its own, and asked her, "What are you going out for?" ”
"I heard that there are frequent demonic beasts in the forest of Youquan in the east, and there have been more and more of them recently, and civilian casualties have begun to occur, so the city lord of Walit City came to the dean of our academy and asked us to take a look and see the specific situation of the demonic beasts inside." Mister explained.
"So you were chosen?" I asked her.
"It's not just me, but also a few young teachers from other departments, so let's give us a chance to be promoted." Mistre loosened his collar and preached to me.
"Young, teacher?" I looked at her.
"Shut up, just say go or not," Mistre said as he looked at me and huffed. Isn't it just telling the truth, almost 30 years old is not too young.
"Go, I don't have anything to do here anyway, anyway, the monsters that go out to hunt belong to me." I asked her.
"Look at your little bit of income, when did you become a wealth fan, the hunted demonic beasts do belong to the individual, and all the expenses of going out will be provided by the academy, so you don't have to worry about the funds for going out this time." After Mister explained to me, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
It's a great thing like this, although I've recently gone to complete a few assassination missions, but after all, I can't take too high a reward due to restrictions, and in general I don't earn much gold, and going out is not as good as staying in school, and I have also felt the greed for money in the human world.
――――――――――――――――――
"May the Lord bless you well, then." When I heard this, it meant that we were going to leave tomorrow, and it was a small evening party organized by the academy in the evening, with only a few teachers and some house management, and the academy would hold such an evening every once in a while, but this was the first time I had attended.
The vice president in charge of this outing has specially found the participants of this outing here, and I, as a follower, can only listen to it secretly, and these men and women inside look very serious, but they are just pretending, which is what Mister told me.
When the vice-dean had finished, Mister took me out of the place, and I asked her if she wanted to eat something here, and Mister said go out to eat, and I showed her a reluctant look, and she pulled me out by the ear.
"Because of your message, I rarely participate in this kind of activity now, how much I sacrificed, you still don't compensate me." Mister preached to me as he walked.
"If you don't come, you don't want to participate in this kind of activity, you yourself said that men who can actively participate in the party are not good things, and women who can actively participate in this kind of party are empty and lonely, okay, I won't talk about this, my gold card is in your hands, how do you want to compensate." Mister and I complained.
"It's just that I can use it wherever I want, and it's not that all the money in it goes to my name, I'm going out to prepare something, not just going out to eat." Mister led me out of the academy.
"This dress is obviously worn at the party, right?"
"Are you sure you can wear these shoes in the forest?"
"This kind of food just tastes good, and it doesn't have any effect on hunger in the wild, right?" ・・・・
I think Mistre lied to me again, all the things she bought were not to prepare for the outing to explore, but to satisfy her shopping desires, of course, this is not comprehensive, she still bought two sets of wilderness survival costumes, as well as water bottles, knives and forks, ropes and other scattered things, and finally stuffed into my space ring.
I was woken up by Mister the next morning, and after washing up we went out, and after setting up a few magic traps in the room, Mister was content to pull me away, and I touched the door as I finally left, leaving on it with the soul energy of my own will.
In this case, as long as someone touches the door, I can feel it in this world.
A few other people were already waiting at the entrance of the academy, and when I saw them, I thought I was dazzled, wasn't it just four or five people? How did it become a dozen now, could it be that the academy temporarily decided to increase the number of people?
I asked Mister, and Mister told me that there were only five people on the expedition besides her, and that the rest of the people around them were their assistants or servants brought out by the family to serve them. Then Mister said that they thought of the event as a spring outing, and I sarcastically mocked her for not treating the event as a spring outing.
When the group saw the two of us coming, they greeted us very warmly, and it was a bit shameless to say so, and the assistants and attendants all saluted and said, "Hello Mr. Mister", and as for me, I was completely ignored.
They were all ready to travel in the carriage, and Mister was pulled into her carriage by the only female teacher among the others, and my way of progress was naturally to walk beside the carriage like the other servants and attendants, but unlike the other attendants, I was alone, and no one paid attention to me, and the other attendants and assistants seemed to know each other well. It's better that way.
After the first few times he ate with them, Miste ate with me, although the other five people all had some opinions about this, but after all, who to eat with is not something that outsiders can decide, and looking at this kind of posture, these five people are either nobles or have some family status, and if they have opinions, they will not directly express them, they are just testing my background and a faint ridicule to show it.
The first journey was naturally smooth sailing, this is not the Laishui Kingdom I have been to, it is full of deserts and sparsely populated. This is the kingdom of Zambul in the heart of the continent, densely populated and densely populated, and all we have to do during this period of time is to follow the carriage all the way, and nothing else to worry about.
There are no bandit groups, no harsh environment, no lack of food, no worries about shelter, everything can be satisfied, but it is this satisfaction that makes the fighting ability of ordinary civilians here much lower than that of Laishui Kingdom.
Although the continent showed some unity and calm when the undead invaded, now, it seems that the countries of this world are beginning to be restless again.
