The next morning. We moved out at the same time as the sunrise.
There was also a guide to Millet, a villager, who was able to reach the village of Murg without hesitation.
Going around the village gate,
"Welcome! To Murg Village"
Millet says happily.
The villagers in the village of Murg were worried that Millet would not return. That's where they came back with the strange old man.
"Millet's back!
A villager screams when he notices his return.
The villagers came out of the straw and the house, and were quickly surrounded.
"Who did you say?
Children in the village speak up innocently.
Millet explained how she was looking for herbs. He's been saving my life, he's got one arm, he's chewing on me.
I can illuminate.
The villagers are also thanked.
Embarrassing.
It's so bright.
"Medicine, we need to make it fast"
I urged Millet.
"Yes! See you later, Mr. Al"
As I thanked him, Millet ran away.
After Millet left, I cut out to the village chief that I was ordering a Murg village guard assignment.
The villagers' reaction was subtle.
"Whoa! Whoa, whoa..."
(That?)
The difference with the good reaction so far is terrible.
"Is there a problem?
"No, I don't have a problem... Young people just come..."
The village chief said, finally.
"I see."
"Recruitment of Guards in Murg Village. Wolves and pigs are out and in trouble. The reward is clothing and accommodation. * There are hot springs in the village '
Indeed, veteran adventurers will not come on this condition. So the village of Murg thought a young adventurer was coming.
I'm sure you don't have enough young men.
He must have thought that a very young man would get a wife and live permanently, etc.
But I can only say that the perception is not very good. I don't get this kind of assignment as much as a young adventurer. Because there is no way forward.
It was only at the beginning that the village chief quickly moved into welcome mode, although he was bewildered. He leads me to a residence that is appreciated by the guards.
It's a bungalow built beside the village gate.
"I'm sorry it's old..."
Really blurry. But it was huge.
"No problem!
It's enough to say that I have a roof for a lot of wildlife.
In the house, blurry, but even to the bed. Thank you.
Half of it is earthbound. I'm sure it was originally a horse cabin or a cow cabin.
In the house, the village chief explained the work.
During the day it is the main task to prevent the intrusion of external enemies at the gates where there is only one village. But that's only pre-construction.
The village chief says we should just sit in a chair and do it in the sun because the external enemies don't come early.
Instead, they don't have to be at the gate. He said that it would be more helpful if you helped him with his wild work.
I was listening to the explanation and wanted to ask about it.
"Um, village chief..."
"What is it?
"Guards, don't you want one?
Naturally, the village chief shook his head.
"There have been more wolves outside the village lately..."
So when the villagers go outside, I want them to escort them or something.
He bowed his head in case a bunch of wolves attacked him or wanted him to fight during a burglar raid.
"If that's the case, no problem"
Defeating wolves and bandits is our specialty.
Next, I look around the village with the guidance of the village chief.
The population is about two hundred. About sixty houses and a fairly large field are surrounded by wooden fences.
There are three wells.
"You have to go into the back mountain to pick up firewood. And even with the wells, there are some errands we have to go to the river."
So the village chief guides us through the mountains and rivers outside the fence.
"So when villagers have to go to places like this, you want them to escort you"
"It will."
I understood what the village of Murg was looking for.
"That would help!
When I confidently tell the village chief, the village chief looks relieved.
"Mr. Alfred seems like a veteran, and I thought you wouldn't be convinced with a job like this"
Was that also why the old man reacted so subtly when he found out he had ordered a guard quest?
"No, I'm not dissatisfied. Sure, I'm a veteran, but I've done my knees. I volunteered to be a guard."
"Was I? Then you should be slowed down in the hot springs. They're good for injuries, too."
Then a welcoming party was held at the village chief's house. After that, my first day in the village of Murg ended while I was going to and from the hot springs with the villagers.
It seems Millet is nursing her sister, and she didn't show her face to the welcome party.
I decided on my mind to go visit Millet's sister tomorrow and fell asleep.
And when the whole village of Murgu quieted down about sleeping.
I heard a wolf howl from the woods.
