Chapter 1: Peak Loop

"Don't sleep, Mino, Houston is almost there. ”

When the shadow of the city wall of Houston loomed in his eyes, the uncle who was sitting at the front hurriedly walked to the back of the car and woke up Mino, who was sleeping with his eyes closed tightly in the car.

"Eh, is Houston here so soon? Raising his hands and stretching his waist, Minow, who jumped out of the car, looked at the shadow of the city wall that was faintly visible in his field of vision, and sighed in surprise.

"This is also fast, in order to avoid danger, we have walked a few steps slower, and the journey of ten days has taken nearly twenty days, that is, Mino, you have been sleeping, so you will feel fast. Looking at Mino, who was writhing and moving, Pickup said speechlessly.

Hearing Pickup say this, Mino could only smile awkwardly and skip this point.

Following Kashya's recitation of books for more than ten days, Mino, who finally got permission, followed a caravan that went to Houston City to sell furs, and took the first step to go to the royal capital for further study, originally Mino joined the caravan as a bodyguard to protect the caravan, but these days Mino has been hiding in the car and sleeping, if it weren't for the caravan's consul Uncle Pickup and Mino are still familiar with each other, and there is no danger these days, I'm afraid Mino will be driven out of the caravan.

If you want to say how much Mino really loves to sleep, it's not that it's just that because the convoy has to keep moving forward, Mino's daily fighting spirit and swordsmanship cultivation are naturally impossible, and Mino, who is eager to improve his strength, naturally focuses on magic, magic is different from fighting energy, and cultivation pays attention to meditation, so there is such a thing as Mino not getting out of the car for several days, because meditation looks similar to sitting and sleeping, so that these people who don't know much about magic cultivation mistakenly think that Mino is sleeping.

Although it caused misunderstanding among others, Mino did gain a lot, the spiritual power that was forcibly refreshed by the breakthrough of Dou Qi has been completely stabilized, and the primary meditation method of star magic has also begun to start, just wait for Mino to master the first level of magic, and Mino can be called a first-level magician.

Due to the terrible undead disaster on the side of Tarssi Town, although the news that the undead disaster has been eliminated has long been spread to Houston City, the inspection at the city gate is still a lot stricter, and Uncle Pickup's caravan was carefully inspected at the city gate for ten minutes before it was finally released into Houston City.

"Mino, although you are already a second-level warrior, the way to the royal capital is not as good as our Tarsie Town to Houston, even a fourth-level warrior does not dare to go on the road alone, so it is better for you to find a way to join a caravan with your fellow deed, Mino. “

Facing Mino, who resigned to him, Uncle Pickup looked at the childish Mino on his face worriedly, and said considerately.

Although the humans of this world occupy a lot of land due to their strong reproductive ability, they are still unable to catch it in the face of naturally powerful and diverse magical beasts, even if most of the magical beasts near their residence have been cleaned up by human powerhouses by all means, and the eastern border where Minoan is located often encounters hungry beast tides in winter, not to mention the wild roads that are powerless to govern, so Uncle Pika's words are also quite reasonable.

After experiencing the undead natural disaster that makes people feel deeply powerless, Mino naturally does not have much confidence in his own unpopular strength, not to mention that Aunt Kasha also explained herself before leaving, and Mino's words did not dare not listen, so the first priority at the moment is to find a way to join a caravan to the royal capital.

The city of Houston is no bigger than Tassi Town, there will be no caravan that knows Mino well to take in Mino, if you want to join the caravan and go to the royal capital together, the first thing Mino's first thing to do is to go to the mercenary union to register as a trainee mercenary.

If a merchant wants to hire professionals to escort his caravan, naturally he does not have much strength, if he accidentally recruits a professional with bad intentions, it is not impossible to lose both people and money, not to mention that the caravan cannot guarantee that these professionals can sell their life force for themselves in a life and death crisis, so a necessary supervision and insurance mechanism is essential, and this mechanism is the mercenary union.

If you think that the mercenary union is a collection of junk organizations that everyone collects, then you are very wrong, if you want to become a formal mercenary recorded by the mercenary union, it will not work without the strength and good reputation of the fourth level, and a professional below the fourth level can become a trainee mercenary at most.

As a trainee mercenary, the mercenary guild will only record your breath when you register, and if you do something evil to betray your employer and the mercenary guild finds out, then they will let the astrologer capture you through the aura you left behind, and the mercenary guild will not be responsible for anything else. You can't even take quests through the Mercenary Guild.

It is precisely because of this that the mercenary group that can be formed by formal mercenaries will be popular, and only by joining the mercenary group, the trainee mercenary can take the task through the mercenary union's Jian Shao, otherwise they can only negotiate with the employer by themselves, and the success rate can be described as quite low.

Of course, it is precisely because the mercenary union does not pay attention to trainee mercenaries that it is not a hassle to register as a trainee mercenary, and after Mino shows the strength of the second-level warrior, a badge symbolizing the status of the trainee mercenary appears on Mino's clothes.

"Little brother, what are you looking for, how about telling my sister to let my sister help you find it?"

Although the mercenary union has no responsibility to help the trainee mercenaries take on the task, there is no rule that the staff of the mercenary union cannot do this, probably attracted by Mino's cute appearance, looking at Mino who is quickly flipping through the task list, the girl who is responsible for issuing the task is rarely enthusiastic to come up and help Mino.

"Thank you, sister, I want to find a mission to protect the caravan to the royal capital, I don't know where to get it?"

Someone offered to help, of course, Mino still insisted on searching for targets through the task list, and Minow, who could probably guess the reason why the girl would help him, smiled sweetly at the girl, and expressed his request very politely.

"Little brother, you want to go to the royal capital by the way, it's a pity, all the caravans in the city that take the royal capital have already set off, and it is estimated that there will be no such task for a long time. Tilting her head and thinking about it carefully, the girl said to Mino rather apologetically.

"In this case, I will have to go on the road by myself, but thank you sister for helping. ”

Hearing the girl's news, Mino was very sorry, it was very dangerous to go on the road alone, but to let him stay in Houston City and wait for the caravan that did not know when it would come back to set off again, Mino could only pray that he was lucky enough not to encounter a beast with a strength of more than the fourth level.

Knowing that it was impossible for him to go to the royal capital with the caravan, Mino didn't want to stay longer in the mercenary union, so he raised his leg and planned to leave here, ready to buy some necessities and set off on the road.

"Eh, little brother, etc. ”

Just as Mino turned around and took a step and was about to leave, the girl from the mercenary union suddenly stopped Mino again, and in the face of Mino's puzzled eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but still quietly told Mino a message that should not have been said.

"Although the caravan is gone, but there is a big man passing by Houston's convoy is about to leave for the royal capital recently, these big people with status are very sorry for their lives, there are even sixth-level powerhouses among the people who protect the convoy, if you can join that team, it will be no problem to go to the royal capital, sister, this is also for the sake of the little brother, it must not be safe for you to go to the royal capital alone, so I told you this kind of news that should be kept secret, and the little brother must not go out and talk nonsense. "Well, I know, thank you big sister for telling such important news to Mino, big sister, don't worry, Mino's mouth is notoriously reliable in his hometown." “

The news revealed by the girl is quite amazing, you must know that if the enemy of the big man gets this kind of news, and even can arrange an assassination of which big man in advance, people can tell this kind of news to themselves, it can be said that they have taken a considerable risk, and Mino knows the severity of it, so he will not tell the news nonsense, so as not to hurt this big sister who is eager to help him be punished in vain. "It turns out that my little brother's name is Mino, what a cute name. Seeing that Mino was able to realize the risk he was taking, the worry on the girl's face also decreased a lot, but then a trace of embarrassment appeared on the girl's face, "The protective power of that convoy is really strong, so there is a little troublesome thing, people ask the mercenary union to recruit not the combatants who participate in the protection work, but the temporary servants who serve tea and water, I don't know if Mino can do it." “

It turned out that there was a commission to help recruit servants, no wonder the girl was able to learn such news, and recommended herself to join the team under the protection of a sixth-level powerhouse, probably just said it on impulse.

If the average mercenary encounters such a situation, I am afraid that the only result is to retreat in the face of difficulties, not that the glory of the warrior is at fault, but that those real nobles are too difficult to serve, and the precautions to be paid attention to during this period are also quite complicated, which is really a torture for the mercenaries who have always been informal.

However, Mino has learned magic knowledge since he was a child, and attentiveness and patience are essential qualities, and to be able to reach the king safely, it is really not an unbearable thing to act as someone else's servant or something for the time being, so Mino patted his chest and assured the girl. "No problem, just leave it to Mino. “

Seeing Mino's confident appearance, the girl probably thought that even if Mino couldn't do this well, for the sake of Mino's age and cute appearance, people should not punish Mino too much, so she handed over the way to contact the big man.
