Aaron, who walked to the corridor on the second floor of the headquarters on the side of the training ground, reported to the commander of the Quirding defense area in front of him, who was looking in the direction of the training ground, and although he was gray-haired, he still stood tall, and reported: "My lord, a total of 122 gold Multon was spent. ”

"Hmm."

Auguste Grace, who only nodded at this, said to his own affairs officer behind him: "Child, let Jonathan take that little guy to the alchemy union in the city and choose a suitable pair of alchemy glasses." ”

"Ding~Ding~"

Reaching out to take the old man's head, he didn't reply, but he landed exactly the two gold Muttons in front of his abdomen. Aaron, who had always been a little confused about this matter in his heart, opened his mouth and asked: "My lord, the cost of accepting these people, even if it is to go to Baal City, such a price can already buy a good alchemy sword." No matter whether that alchemy-level longsword is given to Captain Ford or to the Rangers' brothers, the combat ability will be a qualitative leap. In this way, it will be more than these twenty-nine, and it will definitely take several months of training before it is possible to form a certain combat effectiveness......"

"It's going to be advantageous, isn't it?"

Auguste Grace, who obviously understood what he wanted to say to his affairs officer behind him, couldn't help but shake his head a little disappointed: "Child, you need to look at the long term. Winter is coming, and we have no shortage of sharp swords and tenacious warbows. However, if these weapons were not used, they were not placed in the warehouse and accumulated dust as they are now? ”

"Think of the more than 2,000 Night's Watch brothers on the register during the victory of the Quelding Defense, how strong we were at that time."

"Look at it now, among the four strongholds of Black Rock Fort, Shadow Fort, Moon Tower, and Forest Camp in the Quirding Defense Zone, plus those reservists and miscellaneous servants, there are only three hundred and twenty-six people. Officially Brother Night's Watch, since it has withered to only eighty-two! ”

"Eighty-two, what can we do in the coming sixteen-year winter? …… We can't do anything, even if we all cower in Black Rock Fort to protect ourselves, I'm afraid it's going to be a problem! ”

"So, kid, before our old bones are completely unable to move, we must do our best to replenish fresh blood for Black Rock Castle."

"Time is running out for us......"

………………

And in front of a scholar, after reporting his name and age, Ye Qi and the other twenty-eight people were brought to the middle-aged man who had just bargained with Baron Dorne and was supposed to be one of the principals of the Night's Watch.

I saw this middle-aged man, after walking on the high platform behind him, he shouted to Ye Qi and the others: "I am Stanley Ford, the squadron leader of the third squadron of the night watch in the Quelding Defense Zone, and the training officer responsible for training you into a qualified night watch in the future. ”

"You should all know what the Night's Watch is, and I won't go into more detail here. At the same time, I don't care whether you are bandits who rob civilians on the road, rapists who are obsessed with women, or thieves who specialize in stealing chickens and dogs. When you come here, no one cares about your past, and no one bothers you because of your past......"

"Of course, you have to follow the rules here. And the rules you had to follow before you became official night watchmen were simple. That is, obey, obey, obey again! ”

"Alright, disband!"

"Mark, take them to familiarize themselves with the bad environment."

………………

After getting acquainted with the environment around the training ground, and those places are forbidden areas for the newly joined Ye Qi and others.

A middle-aged man named Jonathan, who was in his thirties with a beard on his face, a black cloak on his back, inlaid armor, and a long sword at his waist, was looking for Ye Qi, who was walking towards the restaurant with twenty-eight other people.

I already understood that it was the official night watchman who was dressed like this, and I heard the others who came with me say that these guys who entered the transcendent hall had at least inhuman combat strength to one enemy ten, and this "ten" still referred to Ye Qi, who was a well-trained and fully armed soldier, couldn't help but cautiously ask about the meaning of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Ye Qi, who learned that he was taking himself to the alchemy union in Bal City and choosing alchemy glasses, was relieved and kept up with Jonathan's footsteps while breathing a sigh of relief.

They did not choose to take the city gate where Ye Qi and the others came, but chose to take the inner test gate of Black Rock Fort, and walked through a noble cemetery.

During this period, in just five or six minutes, Ye Qi, who received the resonance of the "treasure hunter" talent and the ownerless treasure three times, compared to the "resonance" that did not appear once when he had traveled outside the city and a large civilian cemetery before.

Ye Qi, who has a good first understanding of the nobles who are the ruling class in this world, silently followed Jonathan to the alchemy union in Baal City, and put on a pair of alchemy glasses that suited him.

Not to mention the attraction of the novelties of this strange world to him along the way, from the civilians he met along the way bent down or took off his hat to Jonathan in a black cloak, and the former also responded with a smile, it can be seen that Ye Qi, who has a good reputation in the local area, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

[Fortunately, at least I didn't join some evil organization.] 】

This was obviously what Ye Qi had in mind at the time.

On the way back, Ye Qi, who felt the resonance given to him by the treasure hunter's talent again and again, decided to try it again, and slowly slowed down his pace.

And Jonathan, who was walking in front, also felt something, simply stopped, turned around and asked Ye Qi, who had already put on wood-framed glasses at this time, suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm sick with my stomach, I want to go to the bathroom."

Well, I have to say that this excuse is clumsy.

At the same time, Ye Qi, who was holding his stomach at this time, as if he couldn't hold it back, looked very contrived in terms of acting skills.

Therefore, Jonathan, who directly drew the snow-bright long sword in the leather scabbard on his waist, was a lightning-fast slash at the trees on the side path!

Ye Qi, who was obviously taken aback by Jonathan's actions and thought that he had smashed the performance, and his face couldn't help turning white, but in the next moment, in the face of the former's next move, he fell into confusion.

I saw Jonathan, who used the long sword in his hand to cut off a branch with no branches, bent down to pick up the branch that fell to the ground, and handed it over: "Be careful yourself, although this noble cemetery has special personnel to take care of it every day." However, there will always be some poisonous snakes or poisonous insects that like such cold places. ”

Although, I understand the meaning of Jonathan's above words.

However, for some reason, Ye Qi, who felt that the plot was a little wrong, and was still in a state of distraction, asked in a daze: "That...... You're not worried that I'll take advantage of the opportunity to escape? ”

Faced with Ye Qi's question, Jonathan also shook his lips for a while, and let out a burst of laughter.

Jonathan, who seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, laughed for two or three minutes under Ye Qi's gaze.

Half loud, he felt a little stomachache from laughing, and after taking a few breaths, he asked: "Boy, don't you know that with the strength of the red bronze class, even if you run for a quarter of an hour, I can still easily catch you who are still in the white position?" ”

Looking at Ye Qi, who was still in a confused face under his words, Jonathan, who couldn't help but feel a little bored, just stuffed the wooden stick in his hand into the former's hand and said, "Remember to go farther, so as not to let me smell any stench." ”

Stunned, he took Jonathan to give me a wooden stick, walked for a while in the cemetery full of tombstones, and realized that his understanding of the world was almost zero, Ye Qi, decided not to use his own body to verify the possibility of what the former said.

After all, even if you are sold to the Night's Watch organization, your freedom may be limited.

However, it is precisely in an organization like the Night Watch, with such a platform, that you can learn about this strange world better and faster, right?

Ye Qi, who had such a decision in his heart, looked up at the big tree standing on a grassy slope in the distance, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Looking at the trunk of the towering tree in front of him, which took three or four people to hug, the hole in the tree that was more than a meter above the ground and the mouth of the bowl. Although, I understand that the "treasure" I am looking for is in this tree hole. But isn't that too much child's play?

Shouldn't the discovery of every treasure be found after people have gone through a lot of hardships and tribulations?

"Whatever......

After muttering like this, Ye Qi, who naturally would not recklessly put his hand into this tree hole that did not know the depth, just took the wooden stick in his hand and stabbed it into the tree hole.

After waiting for half a sound, he didn't hear any strange noises, and there was nothing strange climbing out of the tree hole, worried that he would drag it out for too long, and Jonathan would come over to check Ye Qi, so he could only bite the bullet and put his right hand into the tree hole.

[It's okay, there's nothing strange ......]

Moving his wrist, after groping with his fingers in this not deep tree hole, Ye Qi, who felt a hard substance from it, immediately used his index finger and middle finger to clip it out.

This is a well-made brooch with a green leaf-like body, of course, Ye Qi, who has never known much about this kind of jewelry, thinks it may also be a pin that fixes the cloak on his shoulders.

However, regardless of whether it was a brooch or a pin, Ye Qi, who directly put it into his savings space, put his hand into the tree hole in front of him.

After all, from the tactile feedback of his right hand in the hollow of the tree just now, there was also this marble-sized, something that looked very smooth on the outside......

Half a sound, without waiting for Ye Qi to take out the beads from the hole in the tree, which were emitting a faint green light, he took it in his hand and looked at it more. Jonathan's voice came from the other side of the towering tree: "What are you kid doing?" ”
