(If nothing else, it should be a double shift today.) Of course, if there is no accident without accident, just if I didn't say it)

"Uh, I see. Instead of continuing on this topic that obviously had a behind-the-scenes story, Catherine directly put forward her own needs: "We received a task to find an explorer above the bronze level to be a temporary teammate, but after posting a message in the center of town, the people we found were not qualified. I've heard that you're the most well-informed in town, and I'd love to hear from you for a little clue. ”

"Explorer?" the boss thought as he wiped his plate, "And it must be above the bronze level, where are you going?"

"Weeping caves. Catherine thought about it for a moment: "The specific content of the mission needs to be kept secret. ”

The boss laughed and shook his head: "The Weeping Cave doesn't need a bronze-level explorer, or even an explorer. It's been rummaged through there.,I have the map and the distribution map of the monster here.,Just take the map and go there.。 ”

"I have the map too, don't use that to fool me. Catherine tapped her fingers on the bar and lowered her voice: "How can we say that we are also a silver-level adventure party, and some secrets are still a little heard. ”

"Silver-level!" The boss was slightly moved: "Silver-level adventure groups must have at least gold-level members, not the kind of guys that can be seen everywhere." Are you sure you're a silver-level adventurer?"

"Of course. Catherine looked proud: "We are Nelly's adventure group. ”

"Poof. The beautiful proprietress couldn't help but laugh sullenly, looked at Vivian who was wandering in the world and Lina, who was bored with taking out a novel and reading it, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You should have seen it a long time ago, you are the Nelly support group." ”

"Hey!" Catherine looked at the proprietress with a catly look and said in a dangerous tone, "It's Nelly's adventure group, not the support group!"

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The proprietress still had a happy expression, and said with a smile: "The main thing is that your fame is too great, hahahaha." ”

The boss condescendingly patted the boss lady's head and stopped her laughter, but he also had a smile on his face: "Since it's you, you should be qualified to know the secrets of the Weeping Cave." Indeed, at least a Bronze-level Explorer is required, and if you want to go deep into unexplored areas, the higher the level of the Explorer, the better. ”

"What is the secret of the Weeping Cave?" Catherine asked suspiciously, "We have only heard that it is not simple, but there are relatively few people here, and we don't know much about it." ”

"The Weeping Cave is not as small as most people know it now, but there is still a very large space in the lower level. However, the difference in the strength of the monsters on the upper and lower floors is very large, and it is dangerous for unsuspecting adventurers. Before the lower levels are hidden, hundreds of underpowered adventurers or lone mercenaries die every year. Later, more than 70 years ago, it is said that the adventurer's guild was the main one, united the high-level of several professional guilds, and set up some obstacles for the entrance to the lower level with spells, and only explorers above the bronze level could have the ability to discover the entrance. And this secret, in order to protect low-level members, each guild will only inform the team above the silver level. ”

No wonder he couldn't find it. Catherine said indignantly, "I was almost cheated out of twelve gold coins." ”

"You've been deceived?" the proprietress poked her head out as she poured wine for the other guests, "I think about it, explorer, it should be little Scato." That little guy is indeed a bronze high-level, but it's a pity that he is a bronze high-level thief, and his exploration skills are far behind. ”

"It's him, and not only did he deceive us, but he actually missed a few monster traps in the cave. If we hadn't saved him, he would have died inside. ”

"Adventurers. The boss looked very open: "Like the mercenaries, it's hard to say which unknown corner you will die in one day." It's good to let him die here, at least someone can collect his body. ”

"Forget it. Catherine sighed, "Do you have anyone you can recommend for the Explorer?"

The boss frowned and thought about it, and said hesitantly: "There is really a guy who is qualified, but I really don't recommend that you have anything to do with such a person." In fact, in three months, another high-level explorer in the town will be able to return, and I suggest you hire this second person then. ”

"No, the mission is not that long, I can't wait for three months. Looking at the hesitant look on the boss's face, Catherine asked, "Why do you think we shouldn't hire the first man?

"No, he's absolutely qualified. As far as I know, there were even gold-level adventurers who hired him and completed the mission without any problems. And he's not just an explorer, he's a little bit comfortable with a variety of positions. ”

Catherine's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a little excitement: "Great, this is exactly what I was looking for, please tell us his contact information." ”

The boss didn't speak, just smiled mysteriously and continued to wipe the plate, the smooth porcelain plate creaking in his hand. Seeing this, Catherine gritted her teeth fiercely and said indignantly, "Ten silver coins is enough." ”

The boss just smiled and held out a finger.

"What a joke. Catherine exclaimed, "A gold coin? Are you robbing?"

"Miss Knight, you should understand. The boss had a businessman's smile on his face: "In Kanzir Town, there are no more than three people who know this person's ability, and among these three people, you can only contact me." So, it's a monopoly price. Of course, you can also not accept this price, I don't mind. ”

"Fifty silver coins. Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "Plus the three of us want three rooms for one night with you." If you still don't accept it, we'll find another way. ”

"Deal. ”

Reluctantly counting fifty silver coins and placing them on the bar, Catherine asked angrily, "Now can you always tell me what his name is, and where can I find him?"

"Twenty-three days. The boss counted with his fingers on his fingers: "As is customary, this guy now lives either in the abandoned hut of the night watchman in the cemetery north of the town, or in a deserted house in the southwest corner of the outer ring area. The house is easy to find, with only three walls and two pillars, and the one without a roof is. Well, if you're not in either of those places, you can go to Old Buck's mill outside town, he's not in the first two places, he must be here. ”

Catherine was already stunned, and opened her mouth for a long time without reacting: "What twenty-three days, what night watchman, what mill?"

The boss shrugged his shoulders and replied casually: "So I told you a long time ago that I don't recommend you to hire this person." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Catherine asked with some dissatisfaction, "You have received all the money, can you make it clear?"

"This is also a madman. The boss put down the plate in his hand and his face became serious: "This person came to the town ten years ago, and in the past ten years, there have been occasional adventurers who have hired him, and the price is not low, so his income is not small." However, whenever he earns money, he will always squander it as soon as possible. Drink the most expensive wine, find the most expensive woman, live in the most expensive room, and put more money in his hands, he can spend it in a few days. After spending all the money, he returned to his usual state, either wandering around the streets during the day, or sitting on the side of the street in a daze, not talking to others, and having nothing to eat, just waiting for the central market to disperse and try his luck there to pick up something to eat. In the evening, he spent the night in the place I had just mentioned, and continued to wander around during the day the next day. ”

"This, such a life, he, he, how did he live until now?"

"yes, the people in town are weird. Say that he likes to enjoy and squander, he will let himself live like a dog most of the time, say that he has a strange personality and likes to suffer and be poor, and he occasionally enjoys the life of an aristocracy. Miss Knight, you don't know that it is not terrible to endure poverty and hunger for a long time, but the real pain is the period when wealth suddenly becomes poor. The gap in life, cold, and hunger can drive a person crazy. This person seems to like this feeling, repeating this gap countless times. No one knew what he was thinking, and everyone thought he was crazy. The boss pouted and continued, "And he's not only a drinker, but he's also very good. As long as he has money, he will change different beautiful women every night, some are nightingales, some are girls in the town who want to make a fortune, and some are foreign mercenaries or adventurers who work part-time as nightingales to make money. No matter who it is, as long as it is beautiful to him. ”

"So he's running out of money?" asked Catherine curiously.

"Yes. Twenty-three days ago, he finished his last job. When he returned, he drank with me for two days and two nights, drank all five barrels of Casli wine and three barrels of the best Vegas malt from Falar, and then took Nana to the best Black Swan inn next door. Oh, Nana is the prettiest nightingale in the town of Kanzil. According to my estimates, this time his income should be less than five days old. So now is definitely the stage when there is no money. However, I have to say that in fact, it is very easy for him to make money, as long as he enters the working state, he will become very competent. Many of the adventure groups he worked with wanted to invite him to join him for a long time, but he refused. ”

"What about the reason for refusal?"

"Why?" the boss sneered, mimicking a hollow hoarse voice: "I haven't spent my money yet, don't go." ”

Catherine wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "I still need to think about it again, thank you for the clue, tell me where the room is, let's rest first." Also helped us prepare three dinners, which were delivered to the room in a moment. ”

"Upstairs the third to fifth rooms on the right-hand side are your rooms, just go up by yourselves. The boss ignored the three ladies and lowered his head to pick up a new plate: "By the way, Pannis, his name." ”

"Catherine, you're not a god, you can't save everyone. On the way back to her room, Lina suddenly withdrew her gaze from the book she was holding and said to Catherine.

"What do you mean?" said Catherine, confused.

Lina's expression was very serious and persuasive: "I know you very well, you were very angry at that liar on the way, in fact, not because he deceived us, but because his lies and sloppiness showed that he did not value his life, and you took back his salary to teach him a lesson." And after hearing about that explorer, I knew what you were thinking. You're thinking about why he's living the way he is, you're speculating about the story behind his suffering, your compassion is flooding again, and you're trying to save him, right?"

Catherine fell silent and did not answer.

Lina sighed: "I'm not against you doing this, but I just want to tell you, including you, who of us doesn't have some stories that you don't want to tell? You're my sister and I don't want to see that day. ”

"I'm a knight. Catherine's tone was firm and unquestionable: "Maybe you are right, I really can't save everyone in need, but I will do my best to save everyone in need around me, it's my duty." ”

"Well, whatever you like. Lina sighed helplessly: "I will go down with you, keep going, my sister." ”

"Ha, I see. If you add rat tail leaves, it will solidify, if you add lizard tails, it will be highly poisonous, and if you add spiral pollen, it will explode, hahaha, it's so interesting. Vivien, who had been silent thinking, burst out laughing.

"Go back to your room, you idiot. Lina slapped Vivien's soft hat on her head and said fiercely.

"Oh. ”
