Back in the village, Mr. Zeor and I reported the attack on the adventurers to the knights who were protecting us, but the knights did not intend to help us.

This is because the adventurer's activities are their own responsibility, and the Knights' job is to protect the life of the village.

The village of Azka may be small, but even so, it takes a decent amount of people to protect the entire village.

At present, there are a hundred knights and soldiers who have rushed from the fortress to the rescue, and it seems that they do not have enough time to defend and attack at the same time.

The knights, although they did not send any reinforcements, did send reconnaissance.

As defenders, they wanted to know the location of the bronze wolf, so it seemed that the soldiers who specialized in reconnaissance were entering the mountains.

"Scouting?"

"Ah, if you're talking about adventurers, that's the one who plays the role of an explorer. Among the explorers, there are many cat people like you. "

"But I didn't see it in the Ibro guild."

"Ichiro's requests are mostly to crusade against the ranch and monsters around the farm. There aren't many rounds of explorers in these places. Explorers are mainly active in dungeons. ”

In the kingdom of Schlendor where we live, there are two cities that are called royal capitals.

One of them was what is now the royal capital, where Horacio was trained as a knight.

The other is the old royal capital, near a large dungeon.

Dungeons are underground labyrinths where rare items can be found, and according to one theory, they are the ruins of prehistoric civilizations.

While rare magical items are discovered, powerful monsters also build nests here, making exploration fraught with danger.

According to Mr. Zeor, it is in such dungeon explorations that the true value of the explorers is revealed, and many of them seem to have used the former royal capital as their base of activity.

"It seems that the royal family used to live in the old royal capital, but the monster overflowed from the dungeon, and even the royal family suffered heavy casualties. A lot of adventurers gathered together, and the security in the city deteriorated, so the royal family is now the king, and we moved to the capital, where the previous kings were ruled by a royal descendant Grand Duke, but the security was not very good"

Mr. Zeor seems to have been active in the former royal capital when he was an active adventurer, but judging by his tone and expression, the city seems to be quite violent.

I'm interested in Seeker's job, though.

"For explorers, they need a unique sensitivity to spotting traps, traps, and ambushes, so there's not much I can teach you."

"But, Mr. Zeor, you followed the trail to conquer the orcs, right?"

"It's like an extension of the hunt, so it's a little different from the role of the explorer."

I don't quite understand, but it seems that there are similarities between reconnaissance and seeker, but they are different.

"If you know where the bronze wolf is, it's much easier to defend and attack, right?"

"Are you going into the mountains?"

"I want to be a useful person, but"

"No, you also saw the appearance of the adventurer being attacked just now, although it is so big, but the speed is terrifying, if you use the trunk as a foothold, it will jump to a considerable height."

What Mr. Zeor said was true, even though I was at a height of about 10 meters, I felt like I was going to be eaten.

It may be safer if it is higher than this, but it is unlikely to find the bronze wolf, as the trees will get in the way.

"I can't let you go into the mountain alone, if you really want to go into the mountain, either find an adventurer you trust to go into the mountain with, or accompany the knights to scout."

Mr. Zeor's method certainly worked for me, but the question was whether the adventurers and knights would allow me to go along.

In their eyes, the seemingly unreliable son of catkins is nothing more than a pair of shoes.

"If you've tasted the heat of the Ichiro Guild and Tavern, I know you'll feel the same way, but I'll be clear that you're not strong enough right now.

"It's me who understands that I'll keep quiet in the village until the bronze wolf is conquered."

Thanks to Zeor's propaganda, many adventurers came to the village, but there were not enough hotels in the village to accommodate everyone.

The adventurers live in tents in the square next to the village chief's mansion.

On one side of the square, a little further from the well, there are toilets, stables and firewood.

As for the villages, they gathered adventurers near the knights' station, presumably to prevent trouble for the inhabitants.

In the ranks of wealthy adventurers, there were those who drove their own caravans and put down roots there.

Traveling merchants also came to the village and began to sell food items such as soup, bread, and wine, as well as medicines, equipment, and weapons in wagons with adventurers who lived in tents.

Hawkers began selling household items such as clothes, cloth, thread, needles, pots, kitchen knives, and seasonings to adventurers and villagers.

The presence of a dangerous monster called the "Bronze Wolf" and the atmosphere of some kind of event pervade the area, which proves that there is very little entertainment in Azca Village.

When I came back from Ibro City, I thought I would play the role of a scout, but after seeing adventurers and vendors, I changed my mind.

With the permission of the village chief, I decided to roast the wood rats I caught with salt and sell them to the adventurers.

To the north and west of the village, they catch forest mice from morning to afternoon, process and prepare them in the riverbed in the afternoon, and roast and sell them in the evening by the square where the adventurers camped.

After piling up the stones, I handed over a skewered wood rat and roasted it with a fire-based magic vessel made of heavenly attributes.

Just like the Fengshen tool for off-road vehicles, I have also practiced the Vulcan tool, so there is no problem with the fire for cooking.

As I started to barbecue on the windward side of the square, an adventurer, attracted by the smell, shouted to me.

"Boy, don't you smell good? Is there anything for sale? ”

"yes, the freshly caught forest rat is roasted with salt, a small silver coin."

"Is that delicious?"

"Forest rats feed on nuts and grains, so there's nothing special about it, and it's delicious."

"Okay, give me one."

"There's Meadow!"

Just chop it up and roast it with salt, and it sells five times higher than usual.

The heart, kidneys, and liver were also drained of blood, skewered together, and roasted with salt and sold.

The 20 soba noodles we prepared sold out as soon as they were cooked.

The next day, while preparing for the work on the riverbed, I caught the fish, grilled it with salt, and sold it.

The daily sales volume is more than 3 large silver coins, which is about 30 times higher than the profit when the income is low.

Some villagers imitated my business and sold Tianle potatoes and steamed buns made from corn flour.

"Well, if it's profitable, it's fine, but the potatoes and corn flour they sell are not supplies for the winter."

"Although the bronze wolf is conquered, it will not be funny if someone starves to death."

On the third day of opening, as we prepared to open, Miguel and his entourage were glaring at us.

I don't know what you're talking about because it's a long distance, but when you try to come out to me, the followers seem to stop you.

Miguel continued to live in the dormitory of the Ibro school, while I took part in the crusade against the orcs, killing the deer and wild boars and bringing them back to the village.

The followers who remained in the village heard and saw my story, but they probably didn't get to Miguel.

"Or rather, there should be less than a week left in the fall break, so you should think about how to get along with Olivier."

As Miguel was about to break free from his entourage and walk towards us, the square suddenly became lively.

"It's out! It seems to be Higashiyama. ”

"East? Didn't you say South? ”

"I guess they moved, they attacked a goblin colony."

The people in the square all gathered around the person who brought the story to get as much information as possible.

"Miguel, now that they're gone, they should be able to avoid trouble."

"I'm also interested in the story of the copper wolf, but what's more important to me now is how to cook the wood rats."

When I was adjusting the fire-type magic weapon made by the heavenly attribute magic, someone called out to me that I was overturned by the forest rat.

"Aren't you interested in the Bronze Wolf?"

"You're Mr. Leos."

"Oh, do you remember my name?"

Standing in front of the stone furnace is the lizard adventurer who comes to the rescue when the Ibro Guild is entangled by cavalry adventurers.

At that time, the onlookers around me said that I was a B grade.

"Then thank you for helping me."

"No, I don't think you need help. Aren't you going to take part in the crusade? ”

"To be honest, I'm still a little scared when I see the bronze wolf."

"Hou, have you seen the bronze wolf?"

"Yes, the first time I found out and informed you, and the second time when I saw the adventurer being attacked on the way back from Ibro."

"What, you've seen it twice with your own eyes, can I ask you a little story?"

"If you don't mind doing business, buy a forest rat for a small silver coin, and buy a fish for five copper coins."

"I see, your business is pretty good."

Mr. Leos smiled and bought me three forest rats.
