Master of the brave.

Before departure

Entering one back street from the street facing the Eltz Adventurers Guild, there are many collective homes lined up with people leaving the merchant's house for public service and their brother-in-law entering and leaving the workshop. Among the houses was one, a two-story house with a narrow but small garden and a lacquered wall.

It is also well located close to the common well and the windows are filled with large glass. Apart from the fireplace and the pizza in the house, there are also stone kilns for baking pies, which are even built in the basement.

The town of Ertz, which experienced epidemic diseases and crop failures a few years ago, increased the number of patrols of guards as a measure to restore security, thus committing fewer crimes compared to each imperial town.

Still, it is difficult to completely annihilate someone named Rayon who is after someone else's nostalgia.

This house, which, by its exterior, is rich inhabited, and which, unlike nobles and merchants, also has no guards, seems like a prey to the outfits for those guys. In fact, by the time there was no new building room, there was only one time a thief had entered - but he was caught quickly.

The couple living in this house were adventurers who had many successful adventures, dotted with towns like Simlug, Klanado and Perlu.

No reckless thief will sneak into this house after that is known.

"Hey, Lewis! Eliza, are you there?

When the oart knocked lightly on the door of the house, by the time a dozen hours had passed slowly, a footsteps were heard from inside the house and the door opened.

"That's unusual, I can't believe Olt's coming at such a time."

Eliza, a woman who looked like her late twenties, tied her dark brown hair behind her back.

"... oh? Customer?"

"Oh, we're talking about work"

"If you're talking about work, you can ask in the guild. You're going to the guild to write a contract anyway."

Looking up at Olt's face higher than his own gaze with his hands on his hips, Eliza shifted her eyes to the wins standing behind him. I look around at each and every one of them, and I look at Winn and Leticia where I've shifted my gaze.

"Remember? You miss it, don't you? Winn and Letty... it's Lady Leticia. That's why I brought you to your house, not your guild. I thought you might want this one."

"Liar...... Really? Not in a really long time!

"Uh, it's been a while. Mr. Iliza."

He greets Wynn when he comes forward, and Leticia bows her head gently as well.

"Olt! I agree you brought me here, but how come you won't even contact me before then!? Wait a minute. I'll make you some tea now. Olt, I'm gonna clean up the mess inside, so can you deal with him?

With that said, Eliza turned herself over and went back inside the house.

From behind the door with a slight gap open, I heard Eliza knocking up Lewis, I guess. Then there was a rattle and a noise.

"Oh, I'm sorry...... keep me waiting"

When Olt gave him an indescribable look, he turned around and scratched Polypoli and his cheeks as the wins stood behind him.

"Oh! Long time no see. Mr. Wynn, Lady Leticia."

After waiting a while, Lewis came out and the Wins were put through the house.

Although Lewis and Eliza rushed to clean up the guided living room, it was still cluttered, and the desk on the side of the window was stacked with reading books, and a variety of small items were placed disorderly on the shelf.

At the wall, many spears were erected, probably from Lewis, who specializes in spears.

There is another round table in the center of the room with four-legged chairs.

"Hey, that's a lot of people. Shall we sit on the floor and talk?"

Lewis moved the table to the corner of the room, and Eliza brought the cloth.

"Can I ask a woman to sit in a chair and a man to sit on the floor?

Leticia, Cornelia, Lino and Iliza, who prepared the tea, sit back on the chair and the men sit in a wheelchair on the floor.

"Shall I introduce myself again? My name is Olt. Say hello."

When Olt cuts ahead and introduces himself, the Wins also introduce themselves sequentially, shaking back the hand offered.

"It's Eliza. Nice to meet you."

"Louis Yuim-su"

"I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to make contact with people of the opposite sex at home."

"Ah... I will"

Lewis, who greeted Cornelia and offered her hand following Eliza, wandered his hand with a gentle rejection. Then I looked around like I was confused.

Like Leticia, Cornelia can feel herself surrounded by an atmosphere different from that of ordinary common people.

The Orts, successful adventurers, were also close to the nobles. The atmosphere that leads to them. It is also the atmosphere held by the superior princess.

Among the oats, Cornelia also came from such a patchwork, the idea of a race of sorts who disdain the human race of their own civilian population and refuse to interact gave a head start.

But seeing Cornelia with a really sorry look on her face reminds me of a lump that passes on to some of the most famous clans in an empire.

"The habit of not being able to make contact with the opposite sex...... accompanied by a knightly escort and Lady Leticia. And your name is Cornelia, and it's an orange infamous badge..."

Eliza shrugged and then turned to Wynn.

"Should I change my language?

"No problem. You're fine as usual."

Cornelia smiled at Eliza.

"Winn has become a knight."

At the end of each other's introduction, Olt put his arms together and said:

Lewis and Eliza also get an emotional look.

"Yes, but I'm still a newbie"

Remember the embarrassment. Winn laughs lightly.

"Letty...... No, Lady Letticia's rumors had reached our ears as well. Thanks to the amazing magic shown to me when I was a child, I was quickly convinced to hear that Leticia was actually a brave man and that the brave man was a child about ten years old. Does Lady Leticia remember us?

"No, I'm sorry. Actually, I don't remember much."

She looks a little sorry, and Leticia apologizes.

"I guess. Dear Leticia back then. I'm sure it's because I was just young, but more than that, Winn, you're the one that cared about me all the time. Other than that, I don't see it in my eyes... That doesn't seem the same now."

Later in the day, with a slightly flirtatious grin, Illiza said, Leticia turned a little red and leaned over.

The chair on which Leticia sits is right next to Win sitting on the floor. It's as if it's only natural to be in that place. And the other fellows also acted like it was natural to have Leticia next to Winn.

As for Eliza, she was also interested in her relationship with Cornelia, who occasionally sends her gaze to Winn, but soon after a slow observation she cut to the point when Olt coughs up one.

"Shall we get ahead of the work story, as we'll keep the stories for the sake and food dishes later?"

Spread the map you received from the Mine Workers Guild in the middle of the same car seat and the map you received from the Adventurers Guild.

The map of the Abandoned Pit Road I received from the Adventurer's Guild drew a red line along the road. This is the map used to crusade the demons on Abandoned Pit Road.

"As you can see from this map, you need to climb the opposite side of Lake Mingal, where the fisherman town is located, or where the mining district is now located, to pass through the abandoned pit road that leads to Lyon. I know you've already heard of it, but the miners won't get close to where it was once abandoned. Then it's not strange that wild beasts, demons, and phantom beast species live there."

Olt, who was dropping his eyes on the map, raised his face and looked around at the faces of the Winns.

"The dangerous beasts that live in the mountains of Magil are wolves and bears. Later there are pigs, giant deer and goats, but these guys don't attack people unless they get close here or something else happens. But the problem is demons and phantom beast species. This is a different level from what we meet in the flats and woods."

"For example, what kind of demons come out?

"When it comes to demons that meet well, do they look like giants?"

Lewis replied when Winn asked.

"When I say giants... like an orga?

"You have the most augs, but sometimes you even meet a bigger giant. Extra big than the trees growing there...... oh well! It's easy to understand. If it's a big one, it's about as big as the tower."

"About a bungalow..."

Lino was discontinued when he heard Lewis' explanation of the Giants.

In a mild tone, Lewis says, but being big means boasting a wealth of vitality and strength. Even the power is awesome. If you are a giant with the size of a tower, you won't have a single human being if you get that fist.

"It's okay. They're big enough to get their heads out of the trees, so they'll know where they are from far away."

Illiza laughs at Lino, who is blue.

"Besides, they're just big and they have good eyes, but not so much smell or anything. Even if you come nearby, you can spend as much time as you want hiding. And it's in the mountains, so there's plenty to hide in."

"He's so big... what do you eat and live for?"

"When I saw you, you were eating serpents. Oh, and I've also seen you eat birds just about the size of this house. Most, and vice versa. Isn't that an ogre for them?

Olt looked around the house and answered the question Rock had spilled.

Hearing it, the Wins accidentally turned their eyes from the window filled with vitreous glass to the Magil Mountains, which looked as imminent as a wall.

In the majestic nature, do the demons also engage in lavish activities?

"There are dragon species. I've just seen it from afar."

"Dragon species...... dragon"

To the words, Winn murmured in a more coveted tone than in awe.

Dragons have often been treated as the subject matter in the story.

It is the strongest biological species on earth and does not seek to be involved in the Divine Spirit or the Demonic Nation, the third mighty species.

He said he would dance in the sky and exhale burning even the immortal souls of the gods.

Dragons live in deep mountains such as spiritual peaks and high peaks on a small number, so to some extent they are witnessed flying through the sky very rarely.

If you are an adventurer, seeing a dragon is not a gold but one dream.

One of the rumors about dragons is how the former Kingdom of Sein, which had mighty power while a small country, was able to produce a person who could make a name for himself to each country. They studied abroad for tuition provided by the Royal Family and exchanged Taisei. That has to do with the earlier generation of "Kensei" Melvic IV's "Dragon Killer" theory.

Dragons become powerful magic catalysts, chemicals, and magic props materials from one piece of scale to the tip of the tail. It is a coveted object for magicians, pharmacists and engineers involved in magic engineering. Besides, there are legends that dragons store treasures in their nests, starting with gold.

But it's hard to exchange it, as they say if you actually succeed in 'dragon killing' you'll have a name in history. The dragon scales are robust enough to bounce back the forged steel as well, and exhale treble on top of it.

Melvic IV, who succeeded in its "dragon killing," would also have had enormous amounts of gold in his hands.

However, after Melvic IV's successful 'dragon killing', there is no literature left on how he handled the dragon he killed.

There is no doubt that Melvic IV succeeded in 'killing dragons' because many people present and testified. But the whereabouts of the dragon's body were unknown. And those who were present at that time, because they were not already alive.

I suppose he hid it from the treasure of a dragon's corpse for fear that a great nation blinded by desire would reach out. It is so concluded.

Together, dragons come with all sorts of rumors.

It may be extremely natural that not only Wynn, who prefers knight stories and hero stories, but also Cornelia, Rock, Lino and Wedge, came up with a mixed look somewhere to admire.

"Well, don't worry, I haven't always met such a monster. Because there are more normal animals."

Fear of giants, giant birds, demons you've never seen and the anticipation that you might meet dragon species. Eliza smiles at the youngsters for a look that changes from time to time.

Eliza also wanted to see those things, abandoning her aristocracy and jumping out of the house to become an adventurer.

If you look at it, Oldt and Lewis, like Eliza, have a slightly delightful niggling grin.

They are the same as Eliza again.

Inspiration and excitement to see unknown things.

Even though I was fascinated by it and made enough money to play and live my whole life, I'm still in the business of being an adventurer. As far as the oat goes, it's no strange age to put retirement in perspective anymore.

"But, well, there won't be a problem with the demons we meet outside"

Olt looked at Leticia and said.

A giant race comparable to the height of the mansion seen by the Olts, and a dragon breed that can be named for history simply by defeating one head.

Fighting is not the battle, but at first glance it conveys its strength.

If people want to fight, even the military has no choice but to pull them off.

The thick walls are also likely to smash through with only fists, but if the power of Leticia is true as the Olts have heard rumors, there should be no problem with them.

And Leticia didn't change the expectations of the oats, making them snort like nothing.

Seeing that, Oldt spilled a slightly shuddering, mixed, mild grin.

(I also thought when I saw the magic then, but you're a hell of a lady after all)

"After that, is it money spent on travel support? Food, water, fuel. You need to buy in a good amount of cold equipment, zails, chemicals, etc."

"That's okay"

Winn made me snort.

Alfred gave me more as a road bank.

Worst of all, if I had a big town on the way, I would have gotten a pen so I could borrow money.

Most of all, in this line, Cornelia, the princess, who can naturally withdraw gold from the empire. She is also a Duke's Warrant, a temple instead of her parents' Duke's, and at the end of the day, Leticia, who seems to be able to accommodate the funds if she asks for them in most countries. Some big chamber of commerce second-boys rock, the Marine Chamber of Commerce, which has branches in various countries, and in fact many rich people have a creditworthy background.

"Okay, so shall we just buy all the stuff we need and leave? We adventurers are always ready to leave at all times. You don't have time for this, do you?

When Oldt said so and tightened it, they stood up and worked on preparing for each one.
