Chapter 54: Testing the Waters

De Youlan asked.

Amelia nodded subconsciously and asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”

"You can see it at a glance." De Yulan glanced at the girl as she spoke, and sure enough, she was a village girl with no social experience, "Don't you know?" As a client, it's best not to let adventurers know who they are, especially girls like you. Adventurers have good people and bad people, and they may not have any intention of accepting the commission, but because you accept the commission, you must not go for the commission in the end, but have ulterior motives. ”

The client hides his identity, there is no way to completely avoid the bad guys, in any case, it can ensure that the adventurer is coming for the commission at the beginning, effectively reducing the probability of encountering the bad guys. Thinking like this, De Youlan suddenly realized, oops, as if he was the one.

"Why can't a girl like me?" Amelia really didn't understand, although Uncle Martin had said a lot of things before leaving, all kinds of things that needed attention, and he hadn't said anything about it.

"Cute and beautiful girls can easily provoke some rogue adventurers." De Youlan smiled, he looked at the girl's slightly red face, and remembered something, this is not bragging, his face with a smile is really quite lethal, I can't wait to hit myself, it's eventful.

Grabbing her hair, Amelia said, "I don't think it's cute and pretty. ”

De Yulando glanced at the girl, he didn't care too much, and most of his impressions of the girl stayed in the game, at this time, he saw that the girl's clothes were tattered and sloppy, and the hair on her face was all stained. After all, there are gnolls outside the village, and even if the gnolls don't like daytime activities, it is impossible for them to surround the village in number, and it is still not easy to escape from the village. Wash it well, and the person will rely on the clothes and the horse to the saddle, and then change into a lovely dress, with a lace round neck, balloon sleeves and a large puffy skirt, and the ugly duckling will become a white swan. Anyway, it doesn't work like this now. Originally, if it was really cute and pretty, there must be other adventurers who would have taken the lead.

Coughing, De Juran turned back to the commission posted on the notice board, apparently ghostwritten by the receptionist - the savage gnolls were attacking the village again, they were going to kill innocent villagers, and no adventurer with a conscience would let them do such a terrible thing. There is also a long paragraph detailing all kinds of information, the number of gnolls, whether there are particularly powerful existences, such as giant gnolls or jackal spellcasters, how much the reward is, and where it happened, etc.

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for an adventurer, although it didn't look strong. More aristocratic than an adventurer, with only a long sword and a little girl. Walking around and reading the commission several times, even if it was a village girl who didn't understand anything, Amelia knew that it must be interesting, and she said, "This adventurer...... Sir, what do you think of the commission, as long as you destroy those gnolls, the reward is a lot. ”

De Yolan laughed, "Gnolls are not weak goblins, and there are so many of them. The most important thing is that your village is too far away from Roentgenium to walk through the mountains, and it takes at least half a day to walk there, and a round trip is a day. In the end, your remuneration is not high, it is definitely lower than the market price, and I can't imagine how the Adventurer's Guild would agree to your commission that completely disrupts the market. "Although I will definitely accept the commission, but I can't be so casual, at least people should know how much they have paid.

"Can't you help us?" Amelia said anxiously, "You are such powerful adventurers, we are weak villagers......"

"It's love to help, it's duty not to help, and your behavior is moral kidnapping. Does Moral Kidnapping Know? Asking others with superhuman standards is considered immoral if they don't do it. Saying that, De Youlan thought to himself, if the girl is really such an unreasonable person, should she give up on the other party.

In fact, Amelia didn't understand at all, she knew a few words, read a few books, and that's it, but she still understood a little, and she muttered, "You adventurers charge so much." ”

De Yulan said: "Is it high? I don't think it's high. "He didn't say a word, it's that you are too poor.

It is easy for people with access to make money, but it is too difficult for people without access to make money. Some adventurers make a lot of money by hunting a giant beast, and the vast majority of adventurers can't earn a fraction of what they do for a lifetime. Citizens living in big cities can earn a little money as long as they have a craft, whether they are cooks, tailors, or shoemakers, but it is too difficult for farmers in small villages far from the cities to make money, and they may not have seen a single gold coin in their lives, and a silver coin is all their savings.

Thinking of this, De Youlan rolled his eyes, it is better now, in the era of his parents, many people in the countryside worked hard to earn work, and it was difficult for the family to have enough to eat, and reading was also half a day of study and half a day of work, even if some countries still can't eat.

"High, that's high." Amelia said, "It's just a matter of doing it." ”

"It's okay to just use your hands casually, just swing your weapon, just chant a spell?" "It's easy to say, is it really that easy? In order to be able to swing this weapon, do you know how long an adventurer needs to exercise? For one year, two years, three years, or even more than ten or twenty years, he sweated profusely on the training ground every day to practice his sword. Just chant a mantra? Do you know how many books you have to read in order to learn this spell and use it proficiently? Do you know how thick all the books are? ”

Amelia lowered her head and paused: "Is it okay to owe it first?" ”

"Owed?" "With all due respect, you may not be able to afford to stay in the village as a farmer for the rest of your life." "It's not so easy to leave the village and work outside, even if you want to become an apprentice, people may not accept you, the easiest way is naturally to become an adventurer, otherwise why so many adventurers?

"I'm definitely not alone, there are so many people in the village." Amelia said that it was the idea of the whole village to find adventurers, and that she was just out running errands.

The girl muttered that the whole village was poor, and now it was attacked by the gnolls...... She looked at De Youlan and suddenly said, "You're so annoying, if you don't accept the commission, forget it, nag." ”

Nag?

De Yulan looked at Vene, and the little girl nodded solemnly.

De Yulan looked at Amelia again, only to see the girl raise her chin and snort: "Even if there are no adventurers, our village can do it." ”

All in all, in the end, De Youlan still took the commission well.
