The Principle of a Philosopher by Eternal Fool “Asley”
108 Money, money, money
"What a bright morning sun. You're glowing as if you're illuminating our tomorrow! Hey, Porch!
"'Cause I'll definitely do something about it!' Say it! Ahahahahahaha!"
"Hey, I knew you were free and the best adventurer to crusade monsters in the early morning! Hey, Betty!
"'Don't show me your spicy face!' Say it! Ha-ha-ha! Whoa! Whoa!
"............... I knew I was going home!
"Uh, I'm sorry. I'm a little too busy. I apologize, see!
"That's right! 'I don't want to see the face of such a master (,,,)!'...... pu"
"Pfft."
"" Hahahahahahahahahaha!!
Yes, you said Melky had a purple dead bird of Heavenly Beast northwest.
Let's ram and die there. Let's get them to eat. With my shame.
"Uh, I laughed. No, I reviewed Azley a little bit."
"............... what is this all about?
"I didn't expect Azley to get so emotional and let the guy out. Isn't Lina jealous?
"Hey, why are you talking about Lina there!
"Polygamy is tough, Master?"
"Above all, we need economic strength!
"It includes taking care of me!
You take care of me. You forget you signed on to that in the first place? I did cancel the use magic contract, but it only got rid of our bondage. I thought I left it with regard to the essential part of the contract..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I don't think I've been getting poached lately... or is that why I canceled my demon contract?
Does it feel like compulsion gradually diminishes? Hmm, should we see how things are going here a little bit more?
When Porch and Betty's mess settled down, we got to where we wanted to be.
This time, the monster crusade we took on at the Adventurer's Guild in King's Capital Regalia was the crusade of a flock of Scylla in an abandoned village in the west.
Scylla is a monster predominantly in the shape of a woman, whose lower body is shaped like a serpent fish, with more than one head of dog popping out of her abdomen.
Brutes says, "Nice lady style among the monsters" guy. That is. Rank A, because it is a herd of them, that is, it is the job of Rank S.
Yes, we've finally become Rank S adventurers. I didn't expect it to be delivered in about two and a half days.
Let's take this opportunity to try a high-difficulty request with Betty, which brings us here.
............... the world is intelligent.
It was a few hours ago that I held that in my chest.
The average Rank B monster crusade I usually receive is five to eight thousand gold. It's about 10,000 gold.
And Rank A jobs range from 10,000 to 20,000 gold. In rare cases, there is a request for 30,000 gold, but it is still not appropriate for the reward.
But this Rank S job.
I don't know if it's because it's the King's Capital, but if you defeat ten Scylla bodies, how can you get the money of 65,000 Gold?
Of course, it's a dangerous job, but if there's me, Betty, and Porch, there's no such thing as asking.
Even if the three of us digest the request, we get more than 20,000 dollars a head.
If this is done on a regular basis, it will be easier to run a Pochizzly store, and everyone who leaves the store in the clear will be able to work and spend their spare time until they repay it.
The difficulty is that you don't have that many Rank S jobs and if you're trying alone, you have to be safe.
It seems that this level of work in the Wang capital Regalia is several times a month.
In that case, me and the silver guys would make a lot of money if we went around.
Ha-ha-ha, money matters. Money is great.
".............................. Phew. For now, I've defeated ten bodies, so now the request is complete, but it looks like there's still a little bit of them, right? What do we do? Want to go a little deeper?
"Mm-hmm... looks like you should avoid going deep in places without land exploration. Let's go back to King's Landing."
"Well, I got another Rank S request, so you should take it"
At this time, the nose of the pouch hits a little. My ears pin and move tingly.
"... what's up, Porch?
"No, I don't have a particular sound, but I smell a little concerned"
Faster than me and Betty tilting their necks, Porch ran to the back of the abandoned village before looking ahead.
What do you mean, me and Betty ran a few beats late? Chasing the tail of the foodie you see ahead.
Oh, my tail's moving pretentiously?
Could there be any danger?
Keep running for a minute. Coming near the west exit of the abandoned village, the pouch stops in front of the falling bronze statue near it.
I'm still waving my tail. What the hell is going on here?
"What happened to this bronze statue?
The bronze statue did not retain the earliest prototype, and all I could tell was that it was hard to form a person.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I feel that there is no history of deterioration of bronze statues and abandoned villages.
No matter how you look at it, it's been deteriorating for over a thousand years. If so, maybe he's perished a few times.
And why did you become an abandoned village?
Even though the Wang Capital Regalia is so close, it's the same as Regiata in the southeast, and it's a good location to say it's a western necessity.
Is that why you're doomed?
"Um, I don't know. It's a smell I've smelled somewhere before, but I can't remember."
"You mean the smell I know. So that's it..."
Porch shrugged his nose several times against the bronze statue and twisted his neck.
This village has been abandoned for about a hundred years, perhaps before the War Demon calendar in history.
"Betty, do you know anything about this village?
"The village of Kug. He's been attacked by monsters many times before. I hear it used to be a big city (,,,) alongside Regiata. After entering the warrior calendar, he gave up reconstruction and perished."
"I see."
We watched Porch for a while, but in the end, there was no answer, and with the seemingly irreversible Porch we returned to the magic formation we had set up by hiding near the king's capital Regalia with space transfer magic.
I don't need to hide it because I'm changing the original official access code, but it's still troublesome when I find it.
Then again, he undertook a Rank S request in the Adventurers Guild, a monster crusade request for "Willem".
Willem is an old, wingless dragon demon, but he rarely has a chance to see it to live in soil that is inherently full of water and gas.
However, the purple dead bird (Shigeko) said to live near the Regalia Valley in the northwest has recently appeared in public, and the damage has actually occurred.
I hear that fighting power is a powerful thing called rank s altogether.
The first scylla crusade was also for the reason that it took a good safety margin.
Willem's crusade reward is seventy-eight thousand gold. Coupled with the amount earlier, the Pochizzery store will be around for a month.
Ha-ha-ha, money matters. Money is great.
But when I left the Adventurer Alliance, an unexpected figure appeared before us. Betty, who doesn't know her face, is leaning her neck.
"Who?"
"I'm not in a good position with the ladies, it's not the same when it comes to boulder rank s. Azley?"
"Nma! You're treating me like a lady! Master!"
It's about Betty.
It's not uncommon to be in an Adventurer's Guild... but what are you doing here?
"It's Mr. Balun, the Six Brave Men. This is Betty, she's rank S just like me. I don't know how to say that."
"Heh, you're Betty. You said you wounded that Mr. Gaston? That's amazing, haha."
It's a monotonous compliment that I don't think is awesome. Betty is naturally aware of that.
"Heh, you're the Balun of the Six Warriors. Porch lost to the demon, the demon and the demon alone, right? Awesome, uh-huh."
Oh, the sound of air breaking for a second now?
"... I'm not feeling well... I was bad... Huh!
Furiously angry. I'm so angry, Mr. Betty?
But hearing this word, Betty erases her disgusting expression and becomes a serious look in an instant. Hey, what's up?
"… then always be mindful of your physical condition. Death leaves nothing but stigma."
"... Huh!
Balun is in the mood of Betty. Is that so?
Even if the reason for winning exists, the excuse for losing doesn't make sense. Betty would be older, and this place is called Yearly Kung Fu.
Betty pounds on Balun's shoulder, trembling in a mess and small pieces.
Isn't it tactile in a way to beat it now?
But even there, Betty surprised me. I changed my impression again and told Balun.
In white, with no disgust or malice whatsoever.
"Look, more than that, what are you doing here? Could you be free?
"Oh. I suddenly got off duty today..."
Balun says to be detoxified.
... Whoa, whoa, maybe...
"Okay, then hang out with your sisters for a second! I'm going on a tour of Willem Crusade & Purple Dead Birds now!
"Ha!?
The second half of the tour I managed to talk about is the first.
……………………………………………………………………………… ha!?
