Legend

From the words of the village chief, Ray could understand why this village welcomed him.

If Ray receives a request from the village chief, he won't be able to get a reward commensurate with the danger.

It was about the same size as Set... a two-headed pig about three meters long.

It was not one but five that were found on the side of the village.

The maximum of five animals is only the number that has come to the side of the village, and it is not necessarily that there are no individuals that have not actually come to the side of the village.

Of course, even though it's as big as Set, it's actually as strong as Set... I can't say it's definitely not, but I'm sure it's horribly unlikely.

Still, it's definitely overwhelmingly stronger than monsters that come out on the edge like goblins and orcs.

When you request a crusade for such an existence, of course, the reward is also commensurate.

If Ray is a typical adventurer, the rewards the village offers aren't always satisfactory.

But... Ray wasn't an ordinary adventurer.

Fortunately, Ray hadn't seen a monster called a giant pig with two heads.

... yes. Fortunately, yes.

As an ordinary adventurer, I wanted to avoid fighting unknown monsters as much as possible.

I don't know what the nature of the opponent is, or what special abilities they possess.

But Ray wasn't.

There was no doubt that it was difficult to deal with an unknown monster, but Ray still had a reason to fight.

Specifically, Magic Stone.

Set and Death Size created by Beast Magic are enhanced by Monster's Magic Stone.

However, it had the disadvantage that I could only use magic stones from the same monster once.

Although there are many exceptions to this trend, the higher the rank of the monster you defeated, the easier it will be for you to learn and strengthen your skills as long as you are a strong enemy.

Considering the circumstances around there, there was no doubt that the double-headed pig was a grateful presence for Ray.

"Mayor, do you want to ask me to crush a pig with two heads?"But I can't get that much reward. "

"... yes, it will."

As a village chief, I would have liked to take the euphemism with me.

Specifically, entertain Ray at a feast, and talk to the other person while making him talk to the beautiful parts of the village.

However, despite the village's beauty, it is only a story in this village.

Although each type is different, such as Elena, Marina, and Vihera, who are in close relationship with Ray, they are overwhelmingly inferior to the three people who deserve expressions such as the beauty that they rarely see in history.

Ray, who knows these three people, is honestly subtle about the attitude that the village chief imagines when he's beautifully pushed around.

Anyway, the words that came out of Ray's mouth were certainly quite surprising to the village chief who was trying to take the story with him like that.

That being said, it was a fact that Ray told me such a story, and I was hopeful that...

"I told you that there was no guild in this village, but if I defeated the two-headed pig, all the magic stones, materials, and other meat items would be mine... do you understand all that?"

Where there is an Alliance, it is known that monsters defeated by an adventurer become the property of that adventurer.

If you or the party the adventurer belongs to can't defeat them, you can give them their share.

But in this village where there is no guild, perhaps the location of the guild is known, and it is possible that the matter is not known?

I thought so and asked just in case.....

"That's fine." For our part, we just need to get rid of the two-headed pigs that are approaching this village.There is a forest, so I don't have any problems with meat.If you go in the back, you won't be able to come back, but if you're from this village, that's fine. "

The village chief explained that he couldn't come back if he went in the back, and Ray had something to say about it.

(Maybe the back of the forest is the territory of the smog panther)

As if reading Ray's thoughts, Nielsen in the dragon robe slammed Ray's body.

"Chief, I don't think this village can afford it, so I want the reward to be information, not money"

"Is the information...?"

Ray's suggestion to get information instead of money surprised the village chief, too.

However, there is no doubt that that would be more helpful to the village chief.

“That's fine, but it doesn't mean we have the information we need.Is that all right? "

"Yeah. All I want to know is about the depths of the forest."... specifically about the smog panther staring deep into the forest. "

"That's... no, I don't mind.But just to warn you, it's not just the smog panthers that hang out in the woods.It's said that there are other monsters coming from the periphery. ”

From the edge? I see, I don't usually live in a place like this. I don't know if there are monsters.

The periphery and the Reyes only call the Mireana kingdom's people to decide.

Besides that, it's not strange that there are monsters that stare at a place not so far away from the periphery.

Monsters don't know what the frontiers are like.

Instead, there may be a perception of territory, but to put it in perspective, it's only a difference.

(In other words, maybe the two-headed boar is also a monster that came from the periphery.... so I was kicked out by the Smog Panther and drove to the vicinity of this village.If you think about it, will you......?)

To be honest, I don't know if Ray's prediction is true.

But if Ray is convinced, that's fine for now.

(I would be grateful if there were other unknown monsters besides Smog Panther and Twin-Headed Pig)

If you could get magic stones for beast magic, there were a lot of monsters for Ray.It was even where I wanted it to be.

"That's fine."... oh, and if you can afford it, I'd appreciate it if you could prepare meals for me today and early in the morning.The inn... if you can't make it, I'll set it up for you. "

Ray's magic tent can live more comfortably than the surrounding lodgings.

Besides that, I didn't think it was necessary to prepare the inn by force, but the village chief shook his head to the side at Ray's words.

“No, the reward is information, so let me do something about it.”

I see? If that's what you're saying, that's fine with me.

Having said that, Ray didn't think that there was any specialty food or ingredients in this village, as he told Nielsen earlier.

(I wish there was a dish that I could only eat in this village if I failed to meet my expectations.)

Thinking that Ray might be difficult, he headed to the village with the village chief and other villagers.

Although the villagers weren't completely at ease with the presence of Set, who came with Ray, they still thought that if the village chief was saying that, they might be at ease.

However, I thought that over time, Set's familiarity would be somewhat less alarmed.

... the problem is we don't have enough time to lose our vigilance.

Ray is going to head into the woods tomorrow with the Smog Panther.

"Then, please come here." I will introduce it to the people in the village.... that said, may I ask your name?My name is Nillette, the village chief. "

If the village chief Nillette introduces herself, there's no way Ray won't reply.

Not to mention, even though it was in the form of a personal request, Ray received a request from Nillette to crush a double-headed pig.

"I'm Ray, a rank-A adventurer."

"[]/(adv, adv-to, vs) (uk) (u

When Ray said that he was a rank-A adventurer, the people around the village chief screamed.

From the small Ray's appearance, I didn't expect him to be the highest ranking A-adventurer among the lesser adventurers.

There was actually a Rank S Adventurer above Rank A.

However, since Rank S Adventurers are truly special, if you consider them as ordinary people, Rank A Adventurers will become the highest-ranked adventurers.

The villagers were surprised by Ray's words, but their gaze gradually became more suspicious.

From Ray's appearance, I'm not so sure, but I don't think he's a rank-A adventurer.

"Village Chief"

While doing so, one of the villagers called out to Nillette, looking at Ray without even trying to hide his suspicious appearance.

The village chief approaches such a villager and asks.

What's the matter?

"I can't believe that such a child is a rank-A adventurer."It's a trick, isn't it? "

“I don't think so.What are you going to do about a Rank A Adventurer in the first place?He says he doesn't want the rewards we've shown him.On top of that, I was asked to do it. "

”That's right... don't actually fight monsters, for lodging and food...”

"You came all the way here to do that?"Besides, look at the monster Mr. Ray's with.It was definitely a high rank monster.Since you can obey so many monsters, you won't be deceiving me. ”

Then why is it that Ray became a rank-A adventurer because the monsters he had with him were strong?

"Let's just say... let's just say you're right."So, what's the problem?More than Ray could do with that monster, it was Ray's strength.... isn't that right? "

"That's..."

From Ray's appearance, the man who would not be able to recognize his strength could not say anything to the village chief's objection.

(No, I may be trying to whisper, but I can hear everything, can't I?)

The words of the village chief and the man were heard firmly in the ears of Ray, who was far away.

If Ray was normal, he wouldn't have heard the conversation.

However, Ray's body was crafted with the sophistication of Zepyle's technology in mind.

The five senses were sharp, and it was normal to imitate listening to what was being said at this distance.

That said, Ray didn't specifically imitate anything to penetrate it.

As for Ray, the Smog Panther, of course, could confirm at least two types of unknown monsters, the two-headed pigs.

Or maybe there were other monsters in the woods that Ray didn't know existed.

That's why, even if the village chief nods to the villagers' opinions and cancels the request, Ray's task will not change.

(Ah, but considering that, what do you care if you turn down the request?If I don't have to make a request and defeat the enemy on my own, I don't have to pay a request fee... or give them food or anything)

Thinking like that, the village chief suddenly beats the man who was next to him.

... it's not the expression of a slap, it's the expression of a slap.

With nothing more to say, he stared at the man and returned to Ray.

"I'm sorry, Ray. This village is like a village without guilds, so many people are not used to adventurers... sorry"

The way the village chief apologized for saying that, it was obviously as if he knew that Ray had heard the conversation between himself and the man.

Ray didn't know why he had made that decision, but he nodded.

"Oh, don't worry about that.It's not uncommon in a village like this. "

"Thank you. Then please go to the village."I don't have an inn, so I'll have you stay in my guest room, but do you mind? "

"You don't have to worry about that much."...... I'll thank you in the meantime. "

Ray then travels through the village with the village chief, other villagers, and Set.

... the villagers who were beaten by the village chief were left there, but eventually they chased the village chiefs.

If you didn't do anything like this, you would have thought that the other villagers' eyes would change.

Or maybe Ray couldn't allow himself to be humiliated like this and wanted to keep an eye on him.

Some of the villagers acted without paying any attention to their gaze.
