Early Spring The afternoon of the next day, Ardis visits Grechets as promised. Already at the inn, the Greches were waiting for Aldis at the table.
"I'm sorry yesterday. Even though he visited me ..."
As Aldis sits down, Grechet apologizes.
"I don't care. I'd rather talk about what I talked about yesterday."
Gressi immediately asks Aldis to enter the subject.
"I'm listening to the story from Geo. He says he wants to hire us to carry and collect."
"Oh, for a reason, I can only act for a day on the road for a while. If I want to make money in the near future, it is best to hunt the beast king, but transporting and stripping fur will be a bottleneck That's it. "
"It's a terrible story to defeat it as a neck"
Ralph interposed the word from the side, and Geo and Konia nodded silently next to it. Grechet asks while looking sideways at such a friend.
"I have confirmation, is it okay?"
"Oh"
"I told you for a while, but how long are you thinking?"
"Seven or ten days. It's up to fifteen days at most. I won't be detained anymore. I think you've heard from Geo, but I'll talk about the rewards just in case."
Aldis also explained the rewards and the details of the request. The reward is five silver coins per person per day. Greche and his team are responsible for demolition, harvesting and hauling of prey, not combat. Basically, the hunt is performed by Aldis, but in the unlikely event of a hunt, they should be armed so that they can defend themselves.
"We can't complain. Rather, I would like to ask for five months a day without fighting for five silver coins. To be honest, there are disparities. I was thinking about getting it. ''
Eventually, the Gresches and others responded to the request with two replies.
He witnessed Aldis's strength, so he decided that there was little danger. It wouldn't have been a great deal to say that this was a person who did not know Aldis's strength and judged his appearance.
Soon, Aldis headed to the meadow with the Greche and a total of five.
"Oh, Aldis."
"what?"
"Is this really too much?"
Grechet looks back at his cart.
"I'll reduce it from tomorrow. I have a lot of prey today."
"Even so ..."
Grechet is a face that is hard to understand. This is because Aldis borrowed a single cart as he left the city.
"Well, I know that the amount of Aldis hunting is extraordinary ... but isn't it just enough?"
One of the carts rented in the city of Tria is Grescher and one is Ralf. From the point of view of Greche and others, it would seem too much for one cart to carry more than enough, but to bring out two of them.
However, low prey does not affect the rewards of the Grechets. Even if the cart returns to the city with an empty cart, or if the cart costs go to waste, the amount of money that the Grechets get will not change. When Aldis said that, the Grechets had no choice.
"Okay, we've arrived."
Aldis's voice stops his feet. It is in the middle of the grassland about an hour west of Tria. In front of you, you can see the plain as far as the eye can see, and the Canobis Mountains beyond. But when you look in the opposite direction, you'll see Tria's walls and you'll know you're not far from the city.
"I don't see anything ... but maybe the same as before?"
Geo asks, remembering the day before yesterday.
"That's what I'm going to do now.
When space is vacated by Aldis's instructions, many objects emerge from the ground. The situation itself was a second time and the surprises of the Grechets were few. But over time, they will be shocked in another way.
"How many are coming out ..."
Ralph's muttering words are a common thought held by all Grechets.
Countless beasts emerge on the ground. You can see snatches, green knives, coyotes, bullfights, grass wolf, watchmen, killer birds, as well as beast kings, and even dispares in some places. Every carnivorous animal in the meadow lay there.
Thaw them frozen to prevent rot, melt them, create warm air with magic, and dry them in a short time, and Aldis will give instructions to everyone.
"Would you like to start right away? Give priority to the beast king. Snatch samples fur and tail stones, coyote and grass wolf, and bullfighting fur, and watchmen and killer birds are good-looking. Just leave the wings. I'll take care of the disperse and the green knife. "
"Oh, oh ........ Okay! Everyone is going!"
Greche, who had been amazed for a while, returned to me and talked to her friends before the number of prey worthy of the expression heaping.
"Aldis, what about the meat?"
What Geo confirms is whether to bring back bullfights or killer bird meat.
Bullfights are large wild cattle over three meters in length, and watchdogs and killer birds are large birds of prey hunting in the plains. Both are dangerous wild beasts, but they cannot be eaten as beef or poultry. Unlike domesticated chickens and cows, they are stinky and smelling, so they are not delicious to eat, but if you bring them back to town, you will get a little money.
"No, just luggage? Just throw it around."
It is a taboo to leave raw meat near roads and inhabitants because it attracts carnivorous beasts and demons. But this place is far from the highways and the city of Tria, and there are no people living around it. If left untouched, it will disappear as beasts in less than a day.
"Hey Aldis. Did you hunt all this yesterday?"
Konia asks her incredible feelings.
"Because I hunted without thinking about collecting materials. If you sprinkle blood, you will come from the other side."
"Hey ... yes. No ... no ... it's amazing. I understand that you need two wagons ...
The girl looked distantly as her red hair was blowing in the wind.
About 7 hours with a short lunch break. While wiping the sweat off their foreheads, the Ardiss finished loading the material on the two carts.
Most of them are furs from beast kings and grass wolf. In addition, heads such as dispares and green knives take up space. In addition to the many prey that Aldis hunted and concealed the day before, the carnivores that attacked during the work, smelling the smell of blood. All of them were killed by Aldis alone, but the more they get, the more prey they get.
The Greches and others worked hard, but desperately, until the west sky had begun to turn red and all had been collected and loaded.
"That's tired ... It's the first time I'm tired so far without fighting ..."
Konia says sitting on the grass.
"Thank you, don't worry because tomorrow isn't so many. I'll collect materials on the spot while hunting for prey."
Aldis smiles bitterly.
In fact, this time it was hard because we processed all of our prey yesterday. From tomorrow, one cart will probably be enough, and the Grechets will be effectively resting while Aldis is fighting.
"Okay, let's raise it. I want to return to Tria before the night begins to spread."
Under Aldis's instructions, the group headed home, pulling a cart towards the city of Tria.
As declared, Ardis arrived in Tria before the night spread, and pulled his cart to the firm. Of course, looking at the cart's full fur and feathers, the company's buyers round their eyes.
In the end, the day's rise exceeded 18 gold coins, including disappointments and green knife subjugation bounty. Even after paying the wagons and rewards for Grechets, more than 15 gold coins remain. An ordinary household settled in the city can live for half a year.
"I'm tired, but now five silver coins are delicious!"
"Oh, not seven days, ten or twenty days!"
Konia and Ralph look up and laugh. For a new mercenary, it's fine to earn five silver coins a day.
Snatches where Greche can safely hunt are not rewarded in the first place. The fur and tail stones that are purchased as raw materials are only three copper coins and one copper coin, respectively. Even if you go around the meadow all day, at most four silver coins-one silver coin per person-are good. Even if you have good luck, it will be twice as much.
Injuries When you fight, you may be injured, or you may lose your equipment. Consumption of the drug increases the cost of replenishment, and severe injuries prevent you from working for a while.
Above all, there are strong people such as dispares and beast kings who would not win even if new mercenaries stand upside down on the grassland. Encountering an absolute predator is not the end of the day.
Their mercenaries are always at risk of losing even tomorrow's life. Considering that, the danger of life is extremely low, and collecting and transporting only five silver coins is an exceptional treatment. It is no wonder that the smiles do not disappear from the faces of Konia.
"Well, don't ask me tomorrow. Use this for dinner."
Aldis said, flipping a silver coin with his finger.
"But don't drink hard"
Don't forget to insert a nail just in case. Aldis returned, returning to the perch and listening to the cheers of the Grechets from behind.
