The sun sank into the sky again, and today's career test was over. The crowd dispersed, leaving a litter in the square.

"Let's go, it's time to register with me in the union!" Harrester lay on a chair on the edge of the square, looking at the Rhine where he was cleaning.

"It's not done yet, how can you not do good things after collecting the money?" Rhine is still cleaning diligently.

After the test, Rhein took the initiative to take over the cleaning work, and Harrest had just objected to Rhein's move about the roast chicken last night.

"By the way, don't you know how to tap your last sword?" Hallester recalled the afternoon Rhine test.

"I've been very careful, if I use force, the captain's sword will not be as simple as being knocked out." Rhine said blankly.

"It's a good thing you didn't use your strength, and if the sword broke or flew out and hurt someone, it would have suffered. The old thief of the city lord has been keeping an eye on us." Hallester said smutteringly.

"I'm done, let's go, go see your fortune union." Rheinland emptied the last bit of trash into the bin and placed the tools neatly next to him.

There are two qualified people today, and these two people are walking together, accepting the envious gaze of others. The city is really much better than the village, not only is it clean, but there are also a lot of shops. If you want to buy something to eat, drink, or wear, you can go out. The main thing is that the girls in the city will dress up and look beautiful.

"Hey, what's the difference between the Mercenary Guild and the Bounty Guild?" Rhine asked as the two passed by the mercenary union.

"As long as the mercenary listens to his employer, he will get money regardless of whether he does it or not, just like you." Hallrest replied.

"Ahh Looking for a fight again, aren't you? Rhine said again.

Hallest's life was either on the way to death or on the way to escape......

Joining a Bounty Hunter is as simple as registering your name and paying a 30 copper coins initiation fee. It didn't take long for the two to come out, and it wasn't until they walked far away that the boss inside came to his senses. The boss doesn't know what reason would make a teenager give up the knightly road and do this profession that is called "idleness, not doing business, relying on the sky for ...... food".

"Hahaha, don't you see that president's face, it's so funny," Hallester said.

"yes, it's funny, it's like you're looking at a fool." Rhine said approvingly.

"What, you say I'm a fool?" Harrest's quick reaction has to do with his usual style.

"Please don't sit down." Rhine laughed.

This time, Harrest ran after Rhein......

On the rugged mountain road, two teenagers galloped. The gravel, the river, the branches, it was not an obstacle for them. Running back like this is what they often do.

The two men have been running together since they were five years old, and they have run all over the surrounding mountains, swam through the surrounding rivers, seen the scenery below the mountains, and drank the sweet water of the streams. Ten years on, the two teenagers have been living together for ten years. Ten years ago, one of them said they wanted to be bounty hunters, and the other said they wanted to be knights. Today, one of them is a bounty hunter and one is a knight.

"Harrest, I know you're not asleep, come with me tomorrow to buy armor." Rhine whispered.

"What's in it for you?" Harrest didn't sleep.

"The good thing is to give you a chance to bargain for this knight."

"."

"I've got five silver coins, you buy me a whole set of armor. More money to buy you a steel sword, and then help Daddy buy a set of clothes and some new farming tools. ”

"Five silver? Where did you get all this money? ”

"What do you think I'm doing while you're playing!?"

"For the sake of your plea of me, please leave the sacred work of bargaining to me!"

"Five silver makes you incoherent?"

Two teenagers whispered back to back in the quilt, afraid of waking up the snow season.

On this continent, the standard of living of ordinary people is about 30 copper per month. With the purchasing power of thirty copper, you can buy two bags of wheat flour, which is enough to eat for a month and a half when made into bread. And the unit on the continent is converted to one hundred copper is equal to one silver, and one hundred silver is equal to one gold. So five silver, enough for one person to eat for a year or two.

The humble room had only two beds, and Harrest and Rhein had slept together in this bunk for ten years. They also slept together today, but I don't know if they will be able to sleep together in the future.

At noon the next day, Harrest and Rhein had finished their morning of study and came to meet in the square in the middle of the city. At noon, there were many people in the square, most of them were people from the surrounding villages who came to the city to do business, and at noon this square became a canteen for these people. At first glance, it was all peasants squatting on the ground eating bread. If you have a little money, you may go to the tavern to eat.

"Now, what did you pay this morning?" Rhine had two rye loaves in his hand and threw one to Hallest.

"It's all about teaching some written knowledge, the kind of sitting in the lecture hall and listening to the lectures." Hallester took the bread and took a bite.

"Exactly?" Rhein asked.

"Teach us about the types of demons, and explain to us the dangers of demons," Harrest said as he ate, almost choking. "What about you, what have you learned?"

"Because I was the only one in class this year, the teacher simply threw me a book and asked me to read it myself, and asked if I didn't understand." Rhine is smart and doesn't eat bread when he speaks, so he doesn't choke.

"What book? Hallrest asked.

"Knight Etiquette" Rhine spread his hands.

"That's boring, but you're leaving after six months here, right?" Suddenly Harrest brought up something that neither of them wanted to mention.

Rhine: "Well, after I study in this city for six months, I can enter the lord's knight academy." ”

Hallest: "You can study magic at the Lord's Knight Academy, right?" ”

Rhine: "Yes, when the time comes, I will learn some of the skills of knights, and some magic suitable for knights." ”

Hallest: "I'm leaving in six months. ”

Rhine: "Where are you going?" ”

Harrest: "If you travel around the continent, you'll probably follow the borders of our map, but I don't know exactly where we're going. ”

Rhein: "Then you said that we will be separated in six months, can we meet again?" ”

Hallest: "As long as I don't die, I think we'll ever meet." ”

The two teenagers chatted about what would happen six months later, and unconsciously became melancholy. So they stopped talking, and bowed their heads and nibbled on rye bread.

The afternoon class was also boring, and Harrester sat by the window on the second floor of the union, reading the demon illustrated book as if it were a comic book. He thought the pictures of those demons were interesting, but he couldn't read any of the dense small print. Rhine didn't read in the afternoon, and the teacher told him to practice standing with a knight's round spear, and this stop was an afternoon......

"You know, I've been standing all afternoon and my leg is about to break!" The Rhine and Harrest were reunited.

"Then you're miserable, I'm fine, sitting and reading comic books all afternoon." Harrester grimaced.

The two exchanged pleasantries and walked together into the depths of the town.

It was a shop in a nondescript alley, and the owner of the shop was an old man, with a thief's eyebrows, and a very long white beard, which had probably not been repaired for years. Judging from the dust accumulated on the armor, there are not many people who come here to buy things, but that doesn't mean that the things here are bad.

Harrester looked at a silver chest guard by the door, and tapped his finger on it a few times, and the chest guard suddenly "buzzed". Harles nodded, it seemed that they were all good goods.

"Old man, don't talk nonsense, I'll just say two points. First, I know where you got these goods, and second, I'm not here to bargain. Harrester got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Rhein stood next to him and frowned, thinking to himself, didn't I just let you bargain...... But he only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.

"Huh...... It's worthy of a young man who has obtained the qualification of a knight, and he has courage. How much money did you bring? The old man looked at the rebellious Hallester and smiled gently.

"Five silver, I want a set of armor with the coat of arms of the knights of the court." Harrester took out a bag of copper coins, which added up to exactly five silver.

"The coat of arms of the knights of the court? That's at least fifty silver for a set, what can you do with five silver? The old man's eyes lit up. He knew that Harrest was not good, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless.

"The original set is not required, it can be matched at will, as long as there is a palace coat of arms on it." Harrester still insisted that there must be a court coat of arms.

"Huh...... It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting little guy, and fifty silver can't be less, but you can owe it first, and then make up for it when you have money. The old man was also very persistent, and his eyes were even brighter.

Hallrest and Rhine fell silent. In fact, Rhine didn't want such a good armor, he just wanted to buy a slightly stronger one.

"Harast, forget it, just buy a random set, and I'll buy a better one when I have the money." Rhine felt that fifty silver was too much of a burden for the two of them.

"No, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! Old man, take out your fifty silver court suit and take a look. Harrester still insisted on buying the good ones.

"Hehe, can't you hide it, I originally wanted to come out when you gave up." The old man's eyes shone away, and a gentle smile resurfaced.

Although he is old, he is still very neat in doing things. The old man removed a pile of scattered armor at random, and hid a black cloth inside.

When the black cloth is lifted, the first thing that catches your eye is a sign of a missing moon. The black cloth was slowly uncovered, and a whole set of armor, from the feet to the head, was completely exposed to the sight of Halleste and the Rhine.

"It's ...... Silver Moon Crest? Or is it a whole set? Harrester looked at the armor in front of him and was almost speechless. The silver moon coat of arms represents the hand of the imperial master craftsman. Only armor produced in the royal capital can be marked with coats of arms such as the sun, moon and stars, and ordinary armor can only be marked with beast signs and symbols.

"How? Is it worth fifty silver? The old man smiled triumphantly.

Hallest: "Fifty silver, as evidence." ”

Old man: "No, take it, the little guy in the back is already drooling......"

Harrest looked back at Rhine behind him, completely absorbed in the light of the armor. "It's not good," Harrester scolded with a chuckle.

"Old man! We have remembered your kindness, and we will repay it in the coming days. Hallester said as he clenched his fist at the old man.

"Come on, take it away, while I haven't repented......," the old man said painfully.

Rhine put on this set of Silver Moon Emblem armor on the spot, and he did look a little knight. The old man looked at the armored Rhine, as if he saw himself again.

"Fifty silver? Even if it's fifty gold, I'll give it to you today! I saw with my own eyes that your ice pupils were so powerful! Anyway, you were still a chubby little guy at that time? It's much better looking when I grow up......" muttered for a long time, as if it was a kind of reluctance to the past. Then the old man took a puff of his pipe, looked at the two who were happily gone, and lay back in the rocking chair.

When he was in his fifties, he was also considered a veteran, what big scene had he never seen? But after experiencing that time in the Gobi, he chose to retire. When he traveled here three years ago, he felt that the environment here was good, and he was ready to settle down here and spend his old age in peace. Unexpectedly, fate still let him see the past...... Fortunately, the past is the past, even if he has a heart to follow the Rhine, but he doesn't have that body......

Rhine: "Harrest, how much do you think this armor is worth?" ”

Hallest: "Two golds? Three golds? I don't know ...... either."

Rhine: "Is that old man your long-lost grandfather?" ”

Hallest: "Haven't you seen my grandfather's grave...... And say such stupid things. ”

Rheinland: "......"

Another day, the two teenagers set out on their way back to the village in the afterglow of the setting sun.
