Nestled at the foot of the Kadar Mountains, the stone town is as peaceful and peaceful as the stone and hasn't changed at all for hundreds of years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are no big nobles in Stone Town, and the biggest nobleman should be the mayor of the town, a baron. But the mayor of the town is very proud, and it is said that this title has been hereditary for tens of thousands of years, and it has been passed down by a great knight who established great feats in the Second Great War of Destruction. As for how magnificent the exploits were, well, you can see it from the baron's title. However, although the Baron is a small title, the territory is not small, almost the size of a city on Earth. Moreover, in such a large territory, there is only this small town, and the others are some villages. As for why this is so, of course, it is because of the vast land and sparsely populated people.

Now let's talk about why I use the word "earth" to describe the size of this territory.

In a tavern in the town called Night's Return, a little kid sits in the doorway, tinkering with something.

"Damn, it's been eight years, it's been eight years in this world. The child tinkered with the things in his hand and said, "It's better to be on the earth." People in this world are perverts. Walking around with a big sword of several hundred pounds at every turn, I am a little otaku who is worried all day long. Anyway, polish this dagger first. ”

The material for grinding the dagger was a monster leg bone, which Neil - our protagonist - had exchanged for the wanderers for a large glass of wheat wine.

Although this tavern is small and dilapidated, after all, at the foot of the Kadar Mountains, there are still some wanderers who come here to eat. The tavern business is not bad either.

However, Kadar Mountain is not a big mountain range after all, the level of the monster is not too high, and the resources are not very rich, so these wanderers and mercenaries here are all relatively low-level, and even in this town, there are only two decent mercenary groups - a fire lion mercenary group, a white bird mercenary group - both are D-level mercenary groups, that is, junior mercenary groups.

"Neil, it's time to get the ingredients!" came an old man's voice. This old man is our protagonist's grandfather, and although he is lustful, lazy, and an alcoholic, he is very good to Neil - at least he is well fed except for the little Neil who has all kinds of things left to us.

"Alright, got it, bad old man. ”

Neil put away the sharpened bone dagger and tossed the discarded bone slag aside with his foot. It's getting dark, and the mercenaries should come back, and they have to come back early, or the bad old man will be half tired to death.

trotted all the way to the entrance of the town, greeted the mercenaries he met along the way, and finally saw Hank's figure. Hank is the son of the owner of a farm outside the town, except for the first few times when Hank Sr. delivered food, and it was Hank who delivered food later.

"Hello, Hank!"

"Hello, Neil. Why is it a little late today? This is today's ingredient, you see. ”

Neil handed the five copper coins to Hank and pulled through the two large bags, but there was no inspection or anything like that. Hank was an honest man, just like his father, Hank Sr.

"Do you have any news?" Hank's farm is on the other side of town, not near the foot of the mountain. But it is a necessary place for mercenaries to enter and leave the town, and he can often hear some new news.

"What's new? I heard that the Fire Lion Mercenary Group and the White Bird Mercenary Group are about to fight, and it seems that the Fire Lion Mercenary Group robbed one of the White Bird Mercenary Group a few days ago. But as you know, such news has been circulating since five months ago, and it has not been seen to be a fight until now. Oh, by the way, there's a new group of mercenaries entering the town, and it shouldn't feel easy, and it looks like they're from Deep Rock City. ”

What are the intentions of a group of mercenaries from Deep Rock City? Could it be that there is a treasure in Kadar Mountain?

Neil said hello to Thirsty as he thought, and ran back with two large bags of ingredients.

Night's Tavern - the name was chosen by Neil, and with the influence of Earth culture, he couldn't help but spoof it. However, it is still quite popular with those mercenaries and wanderers, after all, it is much better than the oak tavern that the old man took up.

As soon as I arrived at the tavern, before I could enter the door, I heard the old man's shout, "Neil, you bastard boy, why did you come back so late?

By this time the tavern was already full, mostly men, but also a small number of women. There are also a few women who are particularly glamorous, and as for their professions, there is no need to say more. Of course, there are only a few, and none of them look very worthy of the audience. After all, the ones who were a little more beautiful went to the other two taverns, the taverns run by the mercenary group. The mercenaries in the mercenary group are much richer than the scattered mercenaries.

"Neil, hurry up and get the wine, we're tired for five days!"

"That's it, hurry!"

"Hurry up, I'm tired, I want to drink some wine!"

Neil immediately rushed over, put down the ingredients, and immediately went to the counter to serve the wine. Since the old man called Neil, he no longer served drinks to those mercenaries, but talked about life ideals with those particularly charmingly dressed women in the corner of the hotel. But he was obviously not popular with those women, after all, they were here to do business, not to be taken advantage of by this bad old man who didn't take a single copper.

Neil is used to it, and it's no surprise that it's no wonder.

However, as anxious as these mercenaries were, none of them dared to do anything excessive. After all, the mercenary ruffian John of Stone Town, who claimed to be the leader of the two mercenary regiments a few months ago, was a lesson - he simply greeted Neil's mother - before he could say it - he was reduced to ashes in this tavern in front of all the mercenaries by a small flame that came out of the old man's fingers. More precisely, not even ashes. Since then, no mercenary has dared to cause trouble in the Tavern at Night, and even those who were once more active have silently changed their attitudes. Of course, this is also the reason why there are only three taverns in Stone Town. After all, not all taverns can suppress mercenaries from making trouble.

Neil also knew that the old man should not be simple, at least he was also a powerful magician. As for why the old man had never mentioned magic to himself or taught him magic so far, Neil knew that the old man must have his own reasons, and he was not in a hurry.

Neil methodically served the mercenaries wheat wine, which was the only wine in their tavern, and it was made by our great Lord Neil himself, after all, after living in another world for twenty years, there must be something. Of course, most of the wine brewed was drunk by the old man himself. The guests were served in turn, namely some black bread and side dishes. The life of the mercenaries is hard, and the requirements for food are not high, as long as they can eat enough.

After everything was done, Neil went to listen to the mercenaries talking about some missions, and of course, still thinking about what Hank said.

Just then, footsteps outside the door drifted through the bustling tavern and in・・・・・・
