Chapter 32: Goblin Slayer (7)

After filling out this simple form, Nobita showed his face in front of the adventurers on the border once, leaving a certain impression on everyone. The counter lady took the form and looked at it for a while, but she didn't ask what the "black magician" on the rank was, but smiled kindly at Nobita, and then quietly slipped him a note and motioned for him not to open it now.

"Okay, then your documents are considered to be accepted......" The counter lady played with her hair as she put the registration form into a roster and put it into a bookshelf behind the counter. After doing this, she opened the drawer, took out a pure white tag, and handed it to Nobita, "This is a tag representing your level, please put it away...... You are now a rookie adventurer at the White Porcelain level. If you have accumulated enough reputation and merit after a period of adventure, you can come to the guild and apply for a boost, which will generally be passed after the review is correct. ”

"The tag symbolizes your record as an 'adventurer', so please keep it safe, and if you lose or damage it, you will need to pay two gold coins to the guild as compensation."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Nobita always feels that this big sister speaks to herself very softly, just like when she talks to the little priest...... Is it really to coax yourself like a child?

That can't be helped...... His actual age looks like a little ghost, and he's a complete novice compared to the adventurers here!

……

"Well, it's rude to ask more......" Nobita asked in an extremely casual tone, "Can the contribution points be cumulative?" What do I need to do if I want to move up to the highest Platinum level at once? ”

……

This time, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Nobita-a - a little kid with extremely bad taste in clothes and wrapped in black cloth suddenly said such unbelievable words, which would inevitably cause criticism. However, due to Nobita's appearance, most of the stalwart-level adventurers laughed out loud as if he was joking, and slapped the table "bang" while laughing, making the drinks splash. The heavy swordsman and paladin didn't laugh...... But they stared at Nobita's back very seriously, as if they wanted to find some hidden clues from this guy.

Goblin Slayer didn't say anything, still standing like a log.

"This ......" The counter lady didn't know how to answer for a while, she had seen a lot of arrogant newcomers, but there were really few who were crazy to this level. Just as she was about to skip the topic in a more tactful way, she heard a "bang" and someone slapped the table on the counter.

Nobita turned around and found that the muttering spearman just now appeared in front of him, with a "Huh?" on his face. Are you kid looking for a beating? Expression. He was slightly taller than the Goblin Slayer, very muscular, wearing a pale blue iron armor, almost no equipment except for a spear, and unlike the Goblin Slayer, who liked to put so many messy hidden weapons around his waist......

"Huh? Are you kid looking for a beating? The spearman said the lines written on his face in the same tone as a thug, "A white porcelain adventurer said that he would rise to platinum in one step...... Are you looking down on us? Well?! Except for a very small number of geniuses like the 'brave', they can directly defeat the demon god and upgrade in the future...... The other adventurers are slowly boiling out from the bottom step by step, ah, little ghost! Don't underestimate the power of perseverance! ”

"I see, as long as I go and challenge the Demon God General......" Nobita said thoughtfully.

"Hey, listen to me, little ghost!" The spearman's teeth are itching, but after all, Nobita is the person brought by the Goblin Slayer, and this piece of wood belongs to the same silver level as himself, and he is half a colleague, so it is a little shameful to do it directly...... After thinking about it, he still decided to endure it again and again, and continued to persuade in his own way, "Listen to the little ghost, I guess you should be the newly recruited follower of this piece of wood, right?" I'm amazed that he can find like-minded followers......"

"Anyway! This guy has been killing goblins all the time, and then he was awarded the title of 'Silver' because of his luck, and everyone knows that! When it comes to killing goblins, he's like he's become a pro, and it's going to be very easy to deal with...... If you follow him all the time, you will inevitably have the illusion of 'Ah, it turns out that the commission of a silver-level adventurer is just like this, so the gold and platinum levels must be very simple', right? Completely wrong! This guy is an exception within an exception and doesn't count! If you really reach the gold and platinum levels, you have to face the army and generals of the demon clan, and even face the demon king himself. An inexperienced white porcelain imp like you will be eaten alive by them, you know? ”

"......" Although the words of this broken mouth spearman are a little damaged, he is actually trying to persuade Nobita to recognize the current situation and not to send him to death because of his blood, the starting point is still very good.

Nobita has always been a person with a higher EQ than an IQ, and of course he senses the true intentions of the spearman.

"Thanks for the reminder." He bowed his head to the spearman and smiled, "I'll be prepared to try again." ”

As night fell, the candles began to be extinguished one by one. In this era without electronic products, people's entertainment activities in the evening tend to be close to zero, and they basically go straight to bed after dinner. It is only when festivals such as festivals arrive that oil lamps are hung high on the streets, so that people can enjoy the atmosphere at night.

The paper lanterns in the bazaar are always on...... But after all, this is a border town, and the market can't be very large, and it can stretch for half a street.

After submitting the quest, the Goblin Slayer confirmed that there was no list of Goblin Hunting missions on the commission wall, and turned around and left the guild. He had walked this road countless times, so even in the darkness, he was still very skilled in leading Nobita to turn left and right, and finally walked all the way to the "relative's ranch" mentioned before.

It has to be said that in those days, the land occupied by farmers was quite extravagant...... Nobita's house is said to have been handed down from their ancestors, although they don't have to pay the mortgage, but it's not that big, and the backyard is even more shabby, compared to the vast pasture of the family, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

……

“…… Are you going to stay at my house temporarily? "The farmer is an uncle in his forties, and unlike what he thinks, he is very thin and has a two-handful mustache, and he gives the impression of a small citizen who has no great ambitions, but does not do evil. He looked Nobita's appearance up and down, and his already slender eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of this sudden resident.

"Let's start with that, this isn't a geek shelter...... And although this kid is a little weird, he has a little to do with my family, so I am willing to let him live in the house. As for you...... The house is certainly not for you to live in, and there is a granary on the farm that is empty if you wish, which can be regarded as a way to keep out the wind. I'll have people bring groceries or something, and you'll live there. ”

"Uncle~~!"

A plump and lithe girl cried out like a coquette, as if protesting to the farmer, "Since we are his friends, why don't we let the black-robed mage live with us, hasn't he already paid the gold nuggets as payment?" ”

"So what? Did he say that if it was a friend, it would be a friend? How can someone who is unknown live directly in the house? He glanced at the Goblin Slayer with some disgust, but warned Nobita, "I'll tell you the truth, you can live here, you can eat ours and use ours, as long as you pay for it...... But don't do anything like stealing, you know? As you can see, I also have a little niece who lives with me for the time being, and I raised her as if she were my own...... Absolutely, yes, you're not allowed to hit her idea, do you understand?! ”

It's no wonder that the farmer is so unkind in his words, it's really that the image of Nobita and Brother Kill is not very good...... Even if Nobita had taken out a gold bar that was impressive enough for this era, people would still think that he had stolen it from somewhere.

Long live understanding, long live understanding......

"Please rest assured." Nobita smiled and assured, "It may take a little more time to prove it...... But I'm definitely not the kind of person you think I am. ”

"It's better to be like this." The farmer snorted lightly, turned away, and went straight into the house. Although his attitude was a bit bad, in any case, he recognized Nobita to live in this farm.

The atmosphere finally eased somewhat.

"Then you take him there, and I'll deliver the food later." The Goblin Slayer seemed to have gotten used to the farmer's attitude towards him, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but just told the red-haired girl a word of advice, and went into the house to do his own thing.

……

The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.

The red-haired little girl carried an oil lamp and led the way in front, and from time to time she would look back to see if Nobita was following her properly. In the context of the Middle Ages, the family was already considered very petty...... The cowherd girl has a very good figure, the rich curves unique to a young girl are wrapped in a not very thick fabric underwear, and she wears a black one-piece camisole on the outside, with short fiery red hair. It should also be a little older than Nobita...... But perhaps she has been living a peaceful life without any waves, and this girl's face is a little childish, like a little girl who has not yet grown up.

However, her figure is surprisingly good, probably because of the superior living conditions......

"I'm sorry that my uncle said that to you......" As she walked, the cowherd girl suddenly turned her head and smiled apologetically at Nobita, "But he's not a bad person, please don't hold a grudge against him for that." ”

“…… How so? Nobita waved his hand and said, "I am already grateful that you are willing to take in someone like me who is of unknown origin." ”

……

"Now."

"Huh?"

The cowherd girl's pace slowed down, and she began to rub her red hair unconsciously, and she was like a girl's graceful demeanor with a spring, "Master in black robe...... Are you really his friend? ”

"Friends...... Probably not, we just met today. Nobita could basically see that this guy had a secret promise for the Goblin Slayer, so he decided to say as many good things as possible for him, and I don't know if the wood-like guy could detect it, "But we have taken risks together, and he seems to be very optimistic about my strength...... In the future, there are plans to form a team for a long time. ”

"Oh, that's ......," she repeated absentmindedly, puffing up her strength and turning around, Nobita noticing that her cheeks were red in the starlight. The girl didn't dare to look up at him, lowered her head, and stumbled and asked, "Then, what about him...... What was it like when he took the risk? ”

Ruthless, bold and cruel, cutting grass and roots, leaving no trouble, extremely vicious......

A series of phrases rolled over, and Nobita finally said, "It's a very reliable person, and you can give him your back." I think it's very reassuring to have him as a teammate."

"And so it was!"

The cowherd girl seemed to be very satisfied with this evaluation, and her steps became brisk, and the oil lamp in her hand shook "clang", becoming the only moving point of light on this dark grassland.
