Chapter Ninety-Eight: Preparing for Travel
For Troy, the first day in Yaski was not bad. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info tasted the novel drink of "ale" and made "new friends" at the same time, well, probably, although the boy felt that he needed to understand more about the concept of "friend", but the person named "Theodor" did look different.
How do you describe it? Maybe it's, well, with strange powers? Ah, it can only be said that it is "different from other people".
The teenager who thought this way fully understood the lack of "language" in his own way.
It didn't make a profound impact on the boy at first sight like Vina and Ralph, but it wasn't like Valerie who seemed to him to be just one of the many people.
In short, Troy had remembered this man who was so short in stature and so immature in face, but always made him feel that "he was an adult".
Of course, there are also reasons why the other party did not explain to himself those two words that he had never heard before.
The next time we meet, be sure to ask what they mean, and tell him how he feels about the unusual ale.
Troy, who was a little troubled by this, decided to take the rest of the wine and ask Uncle Ralph, who he regarded as "not only a strong body, but also a great intelligence", in the hope that his role model, the strong man of the Northwest who seemed to be very fond of drinking, would give him a proper "description" after drinking these drinks, which looked like they were not very different from ordinary ales.
Troy did not expect that on this day, Ralph, who had eaten only a very small amount of food for a while before, and who was now overeating, had naturally lost his appetite, and it was difficult to appreciate the taste of anything he ate or drank.
"Uncle Ralph must have told me not to overeat, and maybe this is his challenge to himself? ”
did not lower his evaluation of the Northwest Han because of this, but Troy, who admired him a little more after some cranky thinking, suddenly realized that he had learned something again.
However, it seems that it is up to him to describe the taste of the ale in the end.
"Oh - this must be trying to tell me that you can only get an answer by your own efforts!"
Just like this, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, the boy's understanding of Uncle Ralph has gone further and further, and I'm afraid it's completely "irretrievable".

Compared to the teenager who would take the initiative to do something at the beginning and often have "joy" in his heart, the first day back at Yaski was like a disaster for Mohr. Forced to admit defeat is okay, which can only be said to be wise in the case of "can't do anything".
But even so, it would be too embarrassing to be drunk and faint, and as a result, nothing was saved, which was an outcome that the warrior who had always been silent did not want to see.
Although Valerie apologized after waking up the next day, and Moore himself said that it didn't matter, but to be honest, the warrior still left a big shadow, maybe he won't drink again for a while, and besides, he must stay away when he sees a woman drinking again...... Also, don't invite women who don't know how much they drink to bars!
Because the other party is a woman, he underestimates her or something, and the consequences may be very disastrous.
This is the profound lesson that Moore learned this time.
However, as the saying goes, "there must be gains", in addition to the above lessons, it is not all without gain after the farce is over. Valerie didn't just bring Moll an apology, the captain also connected the team to a chamber of commerce she knew, and the team members could follow her caravan to the School of Magic as bodyguards, which could save a lot of money.
As an issue that has been overlooked until now, funding is important to the squad's activities. Aside from the cost of food, which was not allowed under normal circumstances, such as Ralph's indulgence, lodging and travel were a no, no less, not to mention "equipment".
Unarmed warriors like Ralph and pure mages like Vina who don't even need a magic wand are good enough to say that Moore's weapons are often destroyed in battle, and the cost of repairing or reforging them is considerable.
Speaking of which, the first thing the warrior did after waking up was to check on the other members of the team, and the second thing to do was to find the old blacksmith in the harbor who could make the "chain spear" and recreate an extremely rare blade for himself.
In battle, unless there is a unique divine blade in his hand, it is quite normal to be damaged, and in comparison, the frequency of Mohr's weapon change is already relatively small.
A less important fact is that he cherished his weapons.
As an organization that is almost spontaneous, there is no such thing as "income", and the association provides almost negligible funds to its subordinate squads. Previously, the source of funds for the Lance team was generally to complete the "task" for the lord or the big businessmen according to the requirements of the association, and the "reward" given by the other party was sometimes coins and sometimes "treasures", and in general, this income was not stable.
Therefore, if you can go with the caravan to the magic school that you have never visited before, you don't have to worry about getting lost, and the caravan will provide food and a certain amount of reward.
Then, there is no need to make unnecessary stops, after confirming the condition of the members of the team and knowing that Vina will probably be able to recover tomorrow, the next thing Moll needs to do is to contact the caravan and confirm the departure time.
As for Ralph, let that fool leave him to fend for himself.
Although it was a bit "heartless", Moore did think so when he first learned about Ralph's condition.
Ruthlessly ignoring the situation of his "poor" junior, Moore, who left with Troy to go to the Chamber of Commerce for an interview, suddenly remembered another important thing, probably because he had drunk too much the day before and caused some memory problems, and Moore suddenly remembered this after stepping out of the hotel where everyone was.
-- I'm going to deliver a letter.
"If it's a 'messenger', it's really incompetent......"
"The Courier?"
The casual emotion was heard by the teenager, and then there was a natural "question and answer" session.
“...... That is, the one who delivered the letter. ”
"Letter, I think I've heard Vina say that the reason why you came back to the peninsula seems to be to deliver a letter?"
"Well, Vina told you that, too. ”
Some were shocked that the relationship between the sorceress and the teenager had progressed, but he immediately realized that Troy was already a member of the squad, and it was pointless to hide such a thing from him, it was better to let him know, thinking of this, Moore felt a little ashamed of his excessive "vigilance".
So, he decided to give Troy more credit.
"Well, there's one more thing I had to do before heading to the School of Magic, and I almost forgot, and it was asked to me by Lord Saparina when I was in the Lighthouse Capital. ”
Patting the hidden pocket inside the robe, Moore, who confirmed that the letter was still there, turned around and saw that Troy had a noticeably different expression from his previous indifference.
The boy seemed to be a little concerned about what was going on, and it was this that made the warrior feel inexplicably "relieved" for some reason.
"Next, I will go to the church here and give the letter to the priest who is presiding...... Ahem!!" Troy's clear gaze reminded Moore of a man, and he coughed heavily to dispel the illusion of boredom, and he continued, trying not to show emotion:
"Do you want to come with me?"
