Chapter 4: Jeros the Summoner
In the northern forest of Rogue Town, in front of the Slime Cave, the wood elf Pixie is lying in front of his wooden hut with a small belly.
"Why hasn't Ah Tian come yet? Ah~~I'm so hungry~~"
At this time, in the branch of the Dungeon Management Association of Rogue Town, a beautiful man with a slender figure, long blond hair tied into a ponytail, and flowing bangs on his left forehead walked in.
"Handsome...... Hello handsome guy......" Liu Caier looked at the beautifully dressed and deep-eyed beautiful man in front of her, and almost drooled.
"Hello young lady." The beautiful man smiled and nodded, handing over a business card. "I am the 389th Graduating Summoner of the Hero Academy, Geralth, and this time I am here to investigate the appearance of mutant elites in the Slime Cave by Zhao Tianhe, the Black Iron Brave, on the order of the Identification Branch. In addition, I would like to check the unidentifiable strange object reported by Zhao Tianhe. ”
"Zhao Tianhe's matter?" Liu Cai'er suddenly became serious when she heard this. "I don't know the specific situation, I didn't go to the scene to check, but the life pulse energy of that day was indeed more than five times that of normal days, so it shouldn't be a fraud, as for the thing that can't be identified, Zhao Tianhe took it away."
The dungeon is a magical artifact, and the terrain is automatically repaired every day, and the rift from yesterday's bursting fireball is gone.
"Oh, then you're going to find him at the Brave's Apartment, right?" Gerals asked.
"No, he should already be on his way to the Slime Cave at this time, you can find him there." Liu Caier explained.
"That's right...... I'll keep an eye out for it along the way. Gerals nodded, stepped out of the distribution, and flew straight into the sky......
As a Hero Academy graduate summoner, the fourth-level spell of flying is just a basic skill.
The so-called graduated summoner refers to a strong person who already has extremely strong strength and knowledge, and does not need to be trained in the academy, but can directly enter the B-level or even above dungeons to fight.
The vast majority of them are powerful spellcasters, possessing a full range of spell powers, and are proficient in a variety of secondary attack healing spells. However, there are also a small number of martial arts factions that directly go to the battlefield in hand-to-hand combat, and their strength is even comparable to that of heroic spirits.
Of course, it's not Zhao Tian and this kind of heroic spirit......
However, whether it is an auxiliary faction or a hand-to-hand combat faction, summoners usually sign a Heroic Spirit to fight together, and Heroic Spirits are usually inseparable from the summoner, and for some reason this Geralus does not have a Heroic Spirit with him.
At this time, Zhao Tianhe was sleeping on the bed, there was no way, he worked overtime last night to cook all kinds of dishes for one night, and he was finally able to rest in the early morning.
Yes, after spending a night of hard work with a few ingredients, Artoria's favorability is full!
"Hey~hey~Hey~My King~~Hey~~" Zhao Tianhe smirked and drooled, and he didn't know what kind of dream he was having.
At the entrance of the Slime Cave at this time, Gerals looked at Picsi, who was eating leaves, and found out that Zhao Tianhe did not come to work today.
'Absconding in fear of sin? Probably not...... Gerals thought about the price of the third-level magic scroll. 'A gold coin is nothing, is it?' ’
"Ah Tian, where does this guy get the money to eat if he doesn't go to work~~" Pixie on the side complained while eating flowers. "He also said that he wanted to conquer Liu Caier's disrespectful little ghost, I think it's a dream at all......"
"Huh?" It occurred to Gerals that he might have fallen into some kind of misunderstanding......
So he asked tentatively: "That, what is Zhao Tianhe's daily salary?" ”
"Huh? A silver coin, right? Pickey replied truthfully.
One gold coin is equal to about one hundred silver coins, and the salary of an ordinary town hotel waiter is two silver coins per day.
'This ...... Also, the unique F-class dungeon...... 'Gerals didn't expect that there are still people in this world who only have a salary of one silver coin per day! 'It's not easy to solve the problem of food, right?' Do you live on street stalls every day? Alas...... I really ignore the hard work of the people at the bottom, but this also proves that he may indeed be corrupt, but I always feel a little pitiful! ’
The thought of how much he would pay for a daily stay at the hotel was three silver coins, and Gerals felt guilty.
'No, let's wait, it's not a big deal, if he's too pitiful, I'll help carry it......' Geralis is a good man, a good man who lives in the upper elite society, so he chose to wait.
However, even good people have limits to their patience!
waited until noon, and Zhao Tianhe did not show up.
'Did you really abscond?' Gerals frowned and flew to his feet. "It's true, it's not a big deal, but it will be more serious if you do it...... Forget it, I'd better go to the Brave Apartment and inquire. ”
Three minutes after Gerals flew away, Zhao Tianhe yawned and came to the cave.
"Ah Tian! Ah Tian, you're finally here! Picxi threw away the leaves in his hand, and his eyes flew into Zhao Tianhe's face with little stars. What are you going to eat today? ”
In fact, Pixi wanted to say that someone came to Zhao Tianhe at first, but her appetite overcame her reason, making her forget about it in an instant.
"Bagels, strawberry jam." Zhao Tianhe took out a bagel from the basket and handed it to Picxi, while taking a bite himself.
"Huh? Isn't this what Mary is in? Pickey pouted in displeasure, she had lived in this town for an unknown number of years, and she was tired of eating that stuff.
The Mary she was talking about was actually the grandmother of the bakery manager in the town......
"I'm so tired today, I really can't do it......" Zhao Tianhe hammered his back and sighed. Alas, he said that he didn't want to do it, and he had to pay the public rations again in the evening...... However, it's really nice to see the deity! ’
Looking at Zhao Tianhe's changing expression, Pixi thought it was quite interesting, but she still only ate two bites of the bagel and threw it to Zhao Tianhe.
When checking in, Zhao Tianhe ate all the bagel by the way, and then walked into the slime cave with an expectant face, but when he entered, he paused.
"Come on, I'll show you something good today!" Zhao Tianhe beckoned to Pixie with a confident face and said. "Super handsome!"
"Really? What's that?!" Picky also flew over with curiosity when he heard this.
"I said, good thing, hey, hey~~" Zhao Tianhe walked into the cave with a lewd smile.
"Ahh It's amazing! "It's huge! It's so strong! "All at once, ......"
In Rogue Town, Geralth stood in front of the Brave's apartment and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Handsome guy, are you looking for Zhao Tian and that guy?" On the balcony on the second floor of the apartment next door, a well-built brunette woman smiled and accosted her. "That waste spent a night in the house for some reason last night, and just went out, and it was so neurotic that this girl didn't sleep well, ah~~ If you delay the progress of today's discussion, you have to complain to him......"
The woman stretched, showing off her well-proportioned and plump figure.
'Tossing and turning in the house for the night?' Does it have anything to do with his corruption of the magic scroll? And what are the wonderful smells coming out of his house? Hearing this, Gerals slowly rose into the air, preparing to go to the town to inquire about Zhao Tianhe's movements and try to see if he could catch up with him.
And the result of the inquiry was that Zhao Tianhe seemed to have gone to the Slime Cave as usual, the only difference was that he bought a bunch of food at the bakery today.
Gerals flew quickly to the Slime Cave, but when he arrived, he saw Pixie wearing a white wig and a wrinkled face hugging Zhao Tianhe, who was laughing like a silly fork with his hands on his chest......
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere was awkward......
"Ahem, this, who are you?" Zhao Tianhe asked calmly, but his face was flushed.
"Contemptible Gerals, the 389th Graduating Summoner of the Hero Academy, you were brought out by the 391st Phase, right?" Gerals said with a graceful smile.
"Well, yes, then what are you looking for me? Oh, you're here to investigate what happened yesterday, right? My talent has awakened! If you don't believe me, you can check it out! Zhao Tianhe said excitedly.
"Sorry, I didn't have the equipment with me." Gerals smiled and shook his head.
"Sign a contract, can't you sign a contract?!" Zhao Tianhe said excitedly. "I'm super powerful! You can check it out! ”
This is a joke, how could Geralt, as a senior graduation summoner of the 389th phase, sign a contract with Zhao Tian and this garbage heroic spirit that even his juniors can't look down on?!
"I'm sorry, I signed a Heroic Spirit, but I can't sign a second Heroic Spirit without the permission of the above." However, Geralt politely declined the offer. "Still, you can show off your natural abilities."
"That's right...... Truly...... But my talent, the cooldown time is a bit long......" Zhao Tianhe said hesitantly. "Tomorrow, how about tomorrow?"
Gerals looked at Zhao Tianhe, and didn't want to waste time in this small place.
"I want to tell him that it's okay to pay this fine, but it's too hurtful...... ' Geralt's face was still like a spring breeze, but his heart was depressed. This is a small thing in terms of size, but it is very bad in nature, and it is not good if you don't understand it...... Forget it, just delay for a day. ’
Next, Gerals flew back to town with Zhao Tianhe, during which Zhao Tianhe went to collect his salary, and then went to buy some steak and take some cattle into the water.
"It's ......," Gerals frowned as he looked at the subtle scent of the water.
"It's delicious!" Zhao Tianhe grinned. "And it's given for free, isn't it too wasteful not to eat?"
"Well, it does......" Geralt nodded, feeling more sympathetic. Even this kind of thing has to be eaten...... It's really ......'
