Chapter 11: The City of Ramos 03
Fish, such a big fish, tiger sharks
Recently, there have been more and more people in Ramos City, and there are lights everywhere, which makes people feel a festive atmosphere, and the happy meeting has become more and more like the Ivy League will run to the city to do things recently.
In fact, the best time to do things is naturally during major conferences and festivals, when the flow of people increases, and the difficulty of security checks will increase, and even if there are more people, it will often be insufficient.
"Lake, isn't there any special holiday in Ramos City lately?"
"That's true, next week is the anniversary of the founding of Ramos, it seems like how many anniversaries are coming......"
The premonition of joy and happiness was getting stronger and stronger, and I decided to go to the idlers to make sure that there were any important festivals recently, and it turned out to be so.
"173rd Anniversary?"
He tried to say a number.
"Ah, it's the 173rd anniversary! How about Zhou Zhuo, do you want me to take you to the celebration for a walk? I grew up in this city since I was a child, and there is no good place to do it. ”
When it comes to playing, this old Ramos man can be said to have something to say. For some reason, Lake has been in the union for many years, so he has a certain say in all areas other than his work. Seeing that he swore that he would be able to bring joy to each other and have a good time, he knew at a glance that he was going to use this to close the distance between the two and team up with this guy.
"I have a mission in mind, and it requires two people to team up, and I think you're quite idle......
"Captain, what are we going to do?"
Just team up to do it, before he could say this, Lake had already agreed with a speed that he couldn't regret when he was happy, looking at the eagerness...... This guy definitely hasn't had a teammate for a long time.
"Ahem, newcomer. Your card is still a little missing, come and fill it out. ”
Just as he was about to explain the mission, Adeline hurriedly called him over.
"Regarding the matter of forming a team, Zhou Zhuo, you must think about it carefully. Adeline hid her face and whispered, "There's a reason why no one teamed up with Lake, and you don't think he's a good guy and that's why he's a teammate." ”
"(How bad this person's reputation is) I guessed it...... It's okay, I'm just going to take on a simple task that is easy for anyone to do. I was able to do it by myself, and the only reason I formed a team was because the client asked for someone to replace me. 」
"What's the task? You know, Lake can't even sweep the floor. ”
Hearing Joy Meet's confident explanation, Adeline asked with suspicion and curiosity.
"The work of inspecting the identity of people and goods at the city gate is not difficult, but it is a little time-consuming, and I can do it myself. Let's just let him stay around, he won't be able to sit quietly. 」
"Hmm......"
Adeline began to seriously consider how likely it was that Lake would be able to sit quietly, and based on previous records, the chances of Lake being able to follow his teammates' instructions were less than 10%.
"Please, Miss Adeline, let me take this commission. Don't you think this kind of simple little work is best for newcomers like me? Not to mention, the guild members have to complete tasks every three months, so I have to pick one that I can complete. 」
"Who...... Who's the little sister? Since you want to take this commission so much, go ahead, and don't blame me for not warning you if Lake messes up. ”
Successfully got the clerical reunion and took over the task of counting the people entering and leaving the city, and when he actually got to work, Lake really caused him trouble.
"Lake, you can play wherever you want, and I'll call someone to find you when I need a substitute. 」
"Then what's the matter, I have to work hard to prove myself! In this way, Zhou Zhuo, you can stay by the side and watch me show my might. ”
Originally, I wanted to let the people who only knew what was in the way get out of the way, but I didn't expect this Lake to be unexpectedly responsible, and he felt very helpless when he met him.
Don't look at what Lake said nicely, what serious work to prove himself, what he wants to show his might, once he really works, he is simply going to make trouble.
Either the goods will not be checked, or they will be checked blindly, and others will have to grind and chirp for a long time to give a gift. If you accept it honestly, you can't get it, but you still have to reason with people. So Lake only worked for a few minutes before he was replaced.
"No, you can't deprive me of the right to work!"
"I'm a person who likes to sing when I'm not idle. 」
"You come, you come. ”
It wasn't until Xi Xiangfeng replaced him that the queue began to proceed in an orderly manner again, and I have to say that Xi Xiangyu's intuition helped him a lot.
"Your companion is a real headache......
In the evening, when there were a few people, the guards who had been helping by the side came over.
"yes, as long as he doesn't get in trouble I'm thankful, you're?"
"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I was hit by an arrow on a mission in the Aurora Forest. ”
「......」
The guard saw the strange expression on his face and thought he didn't trust him, so he continued to talk about his experience.
Last year, around this time, he took part in a mission to protect an item in order to earn money. It was the polar night, and while he was guarding the object, he was suddenly shot in the knee by a crossbow bolt from a villain who had robbed him of the item he was guarding. He then fought the villain for 300 rounds, and although it didn't stop him from snatching it, it eventually left him seriously injured.
Until now, the wound on his knee is regarded by him as a medal of honor, although occasionally it hurts badly when it rains on cloudy days...... That's why he moved from the city further north to Ramos.
「......」
"yes, you're pretty good, then. You have a root disease in your knee, don't you want to find a way to treat it?"
"Alas, how can an ordinary physician cure this? This kind of wound has to go to a priest or a druid like someone who can perform miracles to heal completely, and I don't have that much gold. Besides, I won't go for treatment, it's a testament to honor!"
"Yes? I think so. 」
Looking at the guards' troublesome blowing, I also thought to myself that I wouldn't do this extra to help you solve the hidden danger. Silently complaining about this guy's self-hypnotic ability, the corner of his eye began to pay attention to the truck that had sneaked past while they were talking, and tried to make a note of the driver's appearance, and then continued to do his security work.
Lake, who had nothing to do next to him, faintly glanced at the guards who were chatting with him, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"Actually, this is called fishing enforcement. ”」
