The bumps in the carriage were simply unbearable......

Should I say that I am used to the sadness of modern roads?

It took me a long time to get used to it, but I was getting a little better......

But my expression must be terrible......

After all, Kuya was huddled in the corner of the carriage and shivering......

……

It's been a few days since we left the capital of the Chaoyang Kingdom......

According to today's plan, the carriage should be able to reach a hotel by dark......

That is, the outer periphery of the northern forest......

I looked at the horses that were confidently moving forward without a conductor, and I was speechless......

If it weren't for its frantic run on the bumpiest sections......

If it weren't for the look of joy on its face......

I think I'll definitely thank it well......

But now......

I just want to slaughter it again when it's not far from its destination......

Suddenly, the horse's movements slowed down......

"Huh?"

It turned back to me and made eye contact!

No way!

Don't look so frightened!

"Wait ......"

I didn't say anything......

He fell into an endless bumpy hell again......

……

At dusk, we arrived at a two-story country hotel......

"Vomit ......"

I held on to a tree, but I couldn't stop the heat in my stomach......

Kuya kept patting me on the back......

"Xiao, Xiaoxing, are you alright?"

I shook my head......

Then go ahead and ......

"You, your face is white......"

"Kuya......

"Yes, yes!"

“…… Will you cure the magic of motion sickness? ”

“……”

“……”

I found myself asking an idiot's question......

"Vomit ......"

……

This nightmare didn't really end until I was cast a healing spell by the kind proprietress lady......

"Ha ......"

I leaned limply on the table, looking at Kuya wistfully......

Kuya kept looking down at the teacup in her hand......

Just as my silence seemed to last, the hostess brought the meal......

"I mean, what are you two young men doing here?"

The proprietress didn't see it, and sat down directly beside Kuya.

"I—We're here to do the crusade......"

Kuya replied a little nervously.

Well, of course......

Of course, the level of the mission is impossible to tell others......

But even if it does, not many people believe it......

"Huh? Raid missions? ”

The proprietress seemed a little surprised.

"You should be from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, right?"

Hearing the hostess's question, I barely managed to squeeze out a little strength and asked, "Could it be that there are people from other countries coming here?" This should be considered the territory of the Chaoyang Kingdom, right? ”

The hostess looked at me in disbelief.

"Oh my God, young man, don't you really know? The Kingdom of the Rising Sun gave up the territory on the outskirts of the northern forest many years ago......"

"Huh?"

I glanced at the proprietress and looked at Kuya with a confused face......

“……”

Kuya's body shuddered, and then an apologetic look appeared on her face......

I was stunned......

The proprietress laughed when she saw my and Kuya's respective reactions......

After a while, she smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, because the area of the northern forest bordering the Chaoyang Kingdom is occupied by two demonic beasts. ”

“……”

I lifted my eyelids and motioned for the proprietress to continue.

"One of them is a ruining miè-level demonic beast, and even the Chaoyang Kingdom's General Mendila and the Protector Mage can't help it...... Of course, because of the environment, it seems that the protector is not willing to use end-of-the-world magic......"

After a pause, the proprietress sighed.

"As for the other demonic beast, it came to the northern forest suddenly four or five years ago...... I heard that at that time, it had a big fight with the ruining miè-level demonic beast in the forest, and finally occupied a small piece of territory...... By the way, it's not far from here, so you have to be careful when you do your mission. ”

““……””

Kuya and I looked at each other in silence......

At the same time, he showed a wry smile......

The proprietress said hello and got up to leave.

I shoved a loaf of bread into my mouth and looked at Kuya disapphantly.

"I wonder if there's anything important you haven't told me......"

Kuya almost buried her head in her chest......

"Yes, I'm sorry......"

“……”

"It's, it's almost as the proprietress said......"

“……”

Emma......

Are you a resident of this continent of Ica?

Never mind......

Anyway, it's just a matter of knowing or not knowing......

If you encounter another monster that destroys the miè level......

I wonder if there's a bounty on it?

With the conversation over, we began to sweep up the food in front of us.

Anyway, that kind of egg is really delicious, Kuya was a tyrannical thing before......

But is it an egg?

It feels pretty much the same to me......

While I was in a daze, a long-haired young man came to my side.

"Hello, may I sit down?"

I glanced at him and moved to the inside seat.

"Thanks, my name is Marco."

As the words fell, he sat down next to me.

"Y-Hello, my name is Kuya!"

Kuya seems to be a little recognizable......

I kept lying on the table and said lightly, "Night Star." ”

Marco was a little surprised to see my supposing appearance.

Kuya hurriedly explained: "Hug, sorry, he's a little motion sick......"

Marco waved his hand: "It's okay, but it's the first time I've seen someone with motion sickness...... By the way, I'm a silver-level adventurer from the Holy Light Kingdom, and the four over there are my companions. ”

He gestured to the other table who was looking at us.

Two men and two women......

With the exception of one who looked like a warrior, the other three were all mages......

"Oh? How did you adventurers from the Kingdom of Light get here? ”

I asked curiously.

"We actually just completed the escort mission from the Holy Light Kingdom to the Chaoyang Kingdom, and now we have received the crusade mission from the Adventurer Guild of the Chaoyang Kingdom......

Marco scratched his face in embarrassment.

Groove ......

A feeling of trouble came over me......

"But we found that the difficulty of this crusade mission seems to be a bit beyond imagination, I wonder if you would like to help us for a while? Of course we'll pay a certain amount......"

And so it was......

Kuya looked a little embarrassed.

When she wanted to speak, I got ahead of the curve.

"I'm sorry, we're very short on time, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Marco seemed taken aback by my outright refusal......

Well, in the eyes of people like them, we are just rookies......

What's more, there are few of us, so it stands to reason that we wouldn't reject them so simply......

I glanced at the four of them, who were also in a daze in the distance, and continued.

"Besides, we're only Bronze-level adventurers, so if you take on the silver-level raid mission, we're afraid we won't be able to help, right? It's better that it might cause you trouble. ”

Hearing my words, Mark groaned.

And Kuya......

No way!

You have to hold it for me!

If you dare to laugh out loud, I'll leave you alone when I encounter a tentacle monster!

When Kuya saw my expression, she instantly returned to normal......

But Mark didn't seem to notice......

He shrugged his shoulders, put on a helpless look, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, I didn't think about inviting you...... Alas, we had to find another way. ”

I was secretly relieved......

Although helping them may not take much time.

But for Kuya now, the remaining twenty days or so are long ordeals......

Because she still doesn't believe I can beat that tentacle monster!

In order to save her from having to worry about her face every day, I'd better do it quickly......

Suddenly, Kuya asks Marco about the Kingdom of Light.

"Brother Ma and Marco, I heard that the Kingdom of the Holy Light is a very beautiful country......

"Sorry......"

The moment he heard the "Kingdom of Holy Light", Marco's expression turned cold......

"I really don't want to say anything about the Kingdom of Light."

As the words fell, he stood up and prepared to return to where his partner was.

"Listen to me, try not to go to the Kingdom of Light...... Even if you go, don't trust anyone or ......anything lightly."

I looked at Marco's back and didn't say a word......

[PS: Thank you for the encouragement of Tu Baiqi, Tianzhixuandao and Cangyan~~ In addition...... I'm sorry, but tomorrow is Friday, but there may only be two shifts......
