Chapter 4: 4

Chapter 4 Is This What You Call Cold Reception?

 

 

After receiving supplies and blood from Esther, we headed to the Adventurer’s Guild.

On the way, I heard people talking behind my back, like 「That’s the rumored Duke family’s…」 or 「He’s exiled, right? Serves him right.」, but I ignored them.

Esther was frowning, but I told him not to mind about it since that’s how the public is.

 

 

 

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.

For now, let’s register as an adventurer here and take a quick look at the requests.

When I headed to the reception counter, the receptionist showed a disgusted face, and her beautiful face was ruined.

I’m not good enough to like a woman who doesn’t like me, so I just ignore it and talk to her.

 

「Excuse me. I want to register as an adventurer.」

「Yes… here’s the registration form. The registration fee is one silver coin. …… Yes, I’ve received it. …… We will create a guild card, so please drop your blood here. …… Would you like to hear an explanation about the guild?」

 

Uwaah… she’s completely monotone.

The bloodlust is leaking from Esther….

""

 

「Please.」

 

I want to leave before Esther explodes, but I have no choice but to listen to this explanation.

 

「(Talking rapidly in a monotone)…… Adventurers have ranks from G to SS, and you will start from rank G at first. When accepting requests, you can only accept requests up to the same rank as your own rank. Also, if you are ranked G, your adventurer card will become invalid if you do not accept any request for one month, so please accept requests regularly. If you accept requests and accumulate a certain number of rank points, you will be able to raise your rank. However, when you move up to rank D or higher, there is a rank-up exam each time. Also, adventurers are basically self-responsible no matter what, so if they get injured during the request, the guild will not be held responsible for any damage or death. However, this does not apply if it’s judged that there’s a problem with the request. …… There are three types of requests: regular request, nominated request, and special request. Regular requests are posted on the bulletin board over there, nominated request is a request when the other party nominates a specific adventurer, and a special request is a request issued during a disaster such as a stampede and you will receive a penalty if you don’t accept it. When accepting a request, please peel off the request form from the board over there and bring it to the reception desk. However, if it is written as a constant request, just bring the subjugation proof to the reception. Also, if you fail the request, you will be asked to pay 30% of the reward as a penalty, so please check the deadline and difficulty level carefully before accepting the request. …… The Adventurer’s Guild has branches all over the world and is on equal footing with the countries. So, for example, even when two countries are at war, adventurers can move from one country to another. Also, high ranking adventurers are treated on the same level as nobles. Also, adventurers do not need to pay taxes. Instead, the Adventurer’s Guild takes 10% from the request fee and pays a portion of it to the country. The adventurer card can also be used as an identification card, and there are many benefits such as free entry into a country. ……… This booklet contains many details, so please take a look through it when you have time.」

 

The receptionist expressionlessly explained everything in one go.

 

Judging from Esther’s face, it’s about time it gets dangerous.

He will explode if they throw in the fuel next time.

Let’s withdraw quickly.

 

「I understand. Thank you very much.」

 

Saying so, I left the counter and headed for the board with the requests on it.

Fortunately, there are no adventurers who try to pick a fight with me.

The decent adventurers are probably at work, and the guys here are all too scared to approach us because of Esther’s bloodlust.

……Well, I can still hear them talking behind my back, but I don’t mind it.

""

 

The requests are pasted on the board.

Weak-looking standard monsters like goblins, kobolds, and slimes are the target of constant requests, so for the time being, let’s hunt them while on the move to raise my rank!

…… Well, G ranks have one month before the cards expire, so I can submit the subjugation proof after I leave the country.

 

I’ve roughly checked the requests, and there’s no point in staying here any longer, so I leave the guild.

 

On the way back, I asked Esther to buy me ten blocks of wolf meat (1 silver coin).

Wolf meat is cheap but tasty, so I’m going to make diced steaks, pack them in a jar, and throw them in my item box.

The taste of ration is terrible, and eating dried meat every day is boring.

Preserved food in this world is too harsh for my taste, who’s used to be a Japanese person and was raised as a noble.

 

After returning to the mansion, I thanked Esther, returned to my room, and immediately began sword training in the backyard.

By practicing while reading the swordsmanship instruction book, I reached level 3 by the evening.

Considering that my level of spearmanship, which I had trained for many years, is only 1… I‘m reminded once again that the difference in aptitude is absolute, and it makes me feel a little complicated….

After that, I took a break, made the meat I bought into diced steaks, grilled them, stuffed them in a jar to preserve them, and then raised my swordsmanship to level 5 by swinging the sword for another three hours.

Training more than this might affect me in the future, so I stopped training for today and had my last dinner at the mansion.

 

 

It seems that my father had also returned, so we met in the dining room.

 

「Jink. I’m sure you know this, but by tomorrow…」

「I understand.」

「…… I see. ……… By the way, I heard that you were practicing with the sword today.」

「Is there a problem?」

「……… No, not at all.」

「I will take my leave now. I still have things to do for tomorrow.」

「……… Yeah.」

Saying so, I left the dining room.

…… The dinner ended up with a slightly bad aftertaste, huh.

Well, there’s no point thinking about it, so let’s just hurry up and get ready for tomorrow.

 

 

I take out the adventurer’s equipment set (Special), cloak, and mithril sword that I will use tomorrow and enchant them with enchantment level 3.

Things that have been enchanted once can’t be enchanted again, so it’s quite a waste to apply a low-level enchantment to special-class equipment….

There’s no meaning if I died because of being stingy, so I had no choice but to do it extravagantly.

 

・ Adventurer’s Shirt (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Pants (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Right Boot (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Left Boot (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Breastplate (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Right Glove (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Left Glove (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Adventurer’s Goggles (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Cloak (Body Strengthening +3) (Hidden Treasure)

・ Mithril Sword (Swordsmanship +3) (Hidden Treasure)

 

The equipment that had been special class turned into hidden treasure class, and I succeeded in enchanting <Body Strengthening +27> and <Swordsmanship +3> in total.

Enchantment is so useful that it seems that equipment alone will determine the outcome of a battle, but in reality, enchanted weapons are almost never seen in this country.

There’s no enchanter in this country, and I heard that there are only three people (other than me) in the world.

Also, the enchantments that can be granted by the enchanter are only the skills that the enchanter can use.

Furthermore, since there is a limit on skill level, enchanted equipment with combat-oriented enchantment is almost non-existent.

Because the number of enchanters is too small, enchantment is completely a seller’s market.

Enchanters don’t have to work hard to make a living, so there’s no need to make the effort to raise their martial arts skills.

It seems that there was only one enchanter in the past who was able to grant monster skills using magic stones, but the details are unknown since it’s a rare case.

…… Even with those conditions, the enchantment effect is so great that most people know about it.

 

The only enchanted weapons I’ve ever seen are my grandfather’s and father’s spears, and the orichalcum spear <Spearmanship +8, national treasure class> that Esther brought yesterday.

Enchanted equipment is something that would be bought by nobles at a high price as soon as it appeared in the market.

Being able to fully equip enchanted equipment is a cheat if I had to say myself.

 

 

The rest is recovery magic.

It’s essential when moving through a dangerous place, but it would be dangerous if I let my guard down due to lack of sleep, so I only acquired <Recovery Magic 1> by skimming the magic book that I got from Esther.

I can use <Heal> even with recovery magic level 1, so there’s a big difference between having it and not having it.
