Lot's brief confrontation with Joel was not seen by any of the villagers, and it seems that this is the real purpose of Joel's teammates who have been blocking the entrance to the village.

It seems that they were able to return to their hometown without being discovered by anyone by pretending to issue a commission and then hiding their identities to accept the commission, and the specific process is certainly not so simple, but Roth has no intention of asking deeply.

In order to prevent the [Young Sword Master] from being discovered by the villagers and causing a riot, Roth had to lead the group to the home of his adoptive father, the current elder, and the former head of the self-police regiment, on the pretext of entertaining the adventurers who delivered the letter.

Because of Joel's reputation, Elder Walesford's reputation also grew, and last year the villagers spontaneously built him a large mansion, which was not inferior to the village chief's house.

After persuading a group of villagers and bear children to join in the fun, Joel and his party were finally able to take off their hoods and rest comfortably.

"So, I still haven't been able to appreciate what a real adventure life is like!"

In the living room of the Elder Walesford, Joel complained loudly to Roth.

"I didn't plan to take the test, I wanted to experience the feeling of getting up from the bottom as the master said at the beginning, after all, this is what it is considered ambitious! Although I am an orphan, I am not unraised, I have a master!"

Whether it was Roth or Joel's teammates who were eavesdropping in the guest bedroom, they all smiled wryly at this time, and Elder Wilsford looked at the pair of masters and apprentices with emotion.

So I slapped the money in front of her and asked her to take me to the test at once! Then I cut the test figure in half with a single sword, so that they could see what the master had given me...... Ah, speaking of which, I stole the money from my master's savings at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Joel didn't feel a trace of pride for some reason, but regretted it.

"I learned afterwards that the Guild's test humanoids were very sturdy in order to be used for a long time, and at least a metal-level adventurer had to be able to destroy it with a single blow, and I used the blunt sword of the test to cut it in half, and it immediately attracted the attention of the upper echelons. After that, the few commissions I took were actually carefully reviewed by the upper echelons before I took them, and there have always been high-level adventurers secretly following me to avoid accidents! Master, you say, is this still called adventure?"

Roth looked at Joel with mixed feelings.

The reason why he started teaching the villagers swordsmanship was originally for a transaction.

Because he accidentally got an old book written in Qin Chinese in the capital, Roth was able to embark on the road of swordsmanship.

It is precisely because of his strength that he has other thoughts about his life of "being born and will be a member of the village's self-police group for the rest of his life, fighting to protect the village".

The so-called plan of "not accepting the test and getting up from the bottom" is not so much an ambition as a kind of qi.

It is a childish idea that he can spell out a piece of heaven even if he has nothing.

In the end, it was with the help of his adoptive father, Wilsford, that Roth made a deal with the village.

As long as Lot taught the villagers the swordsmanship he had learned from the book, the village would let him go.

After that......

Joel showed up.

Joel was not born in the village, he was a survivor of a team of unlucky wandering merchants who were raised by the village.

The village hadn't decided what they wanted Joel to do when they grew up, so they sent it to Roth first, and it just so happened that Roth also had a little intimacy with this orphan whose fate was paradoxical to his own.

The moment eight-year-old Joel grabbed the training stick, the ridiculous pride in Roth's heart immediately vanished.

Therefore, the more Joel attaches importance to this master-apprentice relationship, and the more he repeatedly mentions Roth's words, the more Roth will silently deny himself in his heart.

The transaction has already been completed, so why is he still in the village?

"After that, my level increased rapidly, and when I came back to my senses, I was already involved in such a big event as an association or a country, and I took risks...... The life of a high-level adventurer is actually not so much like an adventure anymore, but more like a special soldier...... Now, master, why didn't you go out on an adventure? I thought I would have formed an invincible team with my master, but you stayed in the village all the time. ”

"Because I have a great apprentice! How can I say it, I have the feeling that since you're all out of the house, it seems that there is nothing I need to do?"

In the end, Roth can only say beautiful things, but who is perfunctory?

"Obviously, there is. ”

"Huh?"

"Didn't I say it, I didn't realize what an adventurous life should be like at all! Master, you help me, I also want to hear the adventure story of my master! It's too unfair to be the only one I'm talking about, right?"

Wouldn't you be able to hear a lot of such ordinary stories by just looking for an adventurer?

In this case, Roth really couldn't say it in front of Joel.

In order to allow Joel to be alone with Roth, his teammates were waiting in the guest bedroom, but the house was clearly built without much consideration for the sound insulation between the houses.

"Wow...... Kirkett hugged himself as if he was cold, and kept rubbing his arm, "That Jo......r!

Anna, who was supposed to help him at this time, seemed to be in a bad mood, and did not respond to him with a gloomy face.

Was it because he saw something Joel didn't expect?" Wright guessed.

"Eh, Anna, why don't you speak?" Kirkett didn't have the ability to read the atmosphere at all, and even planned to poke Anna with his finger.

In order to prevent some idiot's finger from being chopped off in the next second, the noble swordsman Wright had no choice but to speak: "The adventure story of the bottom...... I don't know what's good about it, but for an adventurer like Joel, it might have some kind of value. But at least he got to appreciate the scenery of the heights earlier than the other adventurers, didn't he? There are many adventurers who have never survived in their lives!"

"It's not such a good thing to get to the top so early...... Kirkett picked up the topic, and also withdrew his dishonest hand, "He's still a teenager now, and the young sword master is an ordinary sword master when he becomes an adult...... Poof, ordinary, Juggernaut, what the hell am I talking about? ”

After being amused by himself, the Master continued: "The question is, in the future, he still has such a long life to live, is it true that he will dedicate all of it to the Association and the United Kingdom, and what else can he pursue in the future?"

"What's wrong with dedicating to the Guild and the Kingdom?" Wright dissatisfied.

"Eh, you deserve to be from an aristocratic background. Kirkett began to be yin and yang again.

If it weren't for the fact that Joel himself would never have been able to make friends with such a person in his life...... Wright had a headache.

"It's better to be a mage!" and finally Kirkett's conclusion was still like this, "After all, the pursuit of magic never ends!"

Wright stopped talking, as if the biggest suspect in this world is the mage, just think about it in your heart, unfounded rumors should not come out of the mouths of nobles.

And Voss, who had not spoken, sat in his chair and secretly repented.

[I'm sorry, Lord Joel, but it's not just when you're low-level, until now every one of your "adventures" has been arranged in various ways, so you have a vague feeling that you're more like a soldier......

Maybe you can only be free when you become a god...... Or never!

Oh God, what would you do if you were merciful to know this, how much is a teenager's freedom, and is what we are doing selfish?

Or is my current thinking actually wrong, and I have feelings that shouldn't have been generated?]

Although he didn't say a word, the fact that Voss was just being there was enough to make the atmosphere heavy, and with Anna's face being cloudy all the time, perhaps some strange exchanges between Wright and Kirkett were also affected by the atmosphere.

Roth was still thinking of a reason to reject Yoel's suggestion: "But my appearance and the like have been known for a long time, isn't it?

"So, is it because of me that the master has to stay in the village all the time?" said Joel, bowing his head as if sad.

"Of course not......! This ......" Roth was at a loss.

Elder Wilsford finally couldn't stand it anymore, and sighed: "Lot! Your deal with the village has already been completed, isn't it! Don't you say that you really plan to waste all your efforts in the village like this! It's better to say that you should go out for the good of the village, otherwise the young people of the self-police regiment will never grow up by relying on you!"

This sentence blocked the two excuses of [trading] and [for the sake of the village], and then the third excuse.

"Little Joel, how long are you going to ink over there, I don't remember you having such a bad heart! If you learn badly, I won't let you go! After all, you can be regarded as my grandson, hahahahaha!"

The sadness on Joel's face disappeared instantly, and he said excitedly, "Then can I call you grandpa?"

"Who dares to say no?"

"Grandpa!" Joel hugged him.

Roth couldn't keep up with the change in the topic and wondered, "Father?"

Wilsford smiled and nudged Joel.

Joel then took out a pocket watch from his bosom and said: "Master, this thing I found from an assassin can change a person's appearance, body shape and voice! I have tried it myself, as long as I don't touch a person at the level of adamantite, the disguise of this thing is perfect!

Voss, in the next room, stood up with a "whirl", startling the other three.

But then, they also realized what Joel meant!

"Someone assassinated you?" a gray mist faintly appeared on Rot's sword, "Do you know who sent it?"

Joel shook Roth's hand and said, "Master, don't be nervous, I said that there are always high-level adventurers around me who secretly follow me, and this kind of thing has long been solved by the association!"

In the guest bedroom, Joel's teammates couldn't relax at all, and Joel didn't tell the association about this at all!

“...... Well, when you're gone, I'll find a good time to go. ”

Facing his adoptive father and apprentice, Roth could no longer find a reason to refuse.

"But we'll have to go back tomorrow at the latest, and I'm going to make a big deal if I'm missing for too long...... Then Master, you'll leave tomorrow, right?" said Joel with mixed feelings.

He is very aware of the situation he finds himself in, and he does not intend to shirk his responsibilities.

"Master, you have to come on! I look forward to the day when I will fight side by side with my master!"

Roth sighed, put his hand on the hilt of the longsword and said, "Didn't you say earlier that you hoped I could tell you adventure stories? If I really reach your current level soon, I guess I won't be able to save many stories, aren't these two requirements a bit contradictory?"

"Ah......h

"Forget it, I'll talk about that later, after all, it will be my adventure. Roth collected his mood and stood up and said, "There are more important things to do before this!"

"That's because the master is so powerful......

"If that's the case, it's bad! That means you haven't grown at all!" Roth reprimanded in an instant, switching to the teacher's state.

"Yes!" Joel replied without hesitation.

Not to mention the four people next door, even the elders were stunned at this moment.

"If it's you, one day is enough, hold your sword and go out with me!, I'm going to get rid of all the stinky things that may still exist in you!" said Roth, not waiting for an answer, but raised his feet and walked out of the house.

"Yes, master!" said Joel, cheerfully agreed, with a bright smile on his face.

Wright didn't care about the aristocratic demeanor at this time, and pushed away Kirkett, who was still there in surprise, and said: "Stupid mage, don't get in the way! If I miss half a detail by then, I will only ask!"

"What's my business...... Anna!"

While Kirkett was complaining, a mutation struck!

Behind Anna, who was the first of the four to act, a gray sword aura from nowhere was slashing straight at the back of her head!
