The name of the pioneer village, which serves as a breakwater, was originally the name of a flower called anemone, but now it has changed.
Nivera 1st Line of Defense Concrete Ark Fortress Cockscomb,
Guards and adventurers were stationed around the Panther as a defensive force, and the refugees also returned and worked hard to rebuild. Adventurers, including Crank and Carrot, also contributed to the restoration of the village when they had time while fighting the siege against the monsters that were flooding in every day.
In mid-January, after the last mist worm was defeated, no mist worm was sighted for a week, and from that point on, the southern winter hunting came to an end.
Around that time, settlement began in the guild. The adventurers who grabbed their share started throwing money away, and the merchants and citizens of Nivera rejoiced.
With my daughter-!
The weapon store door opens and Ariete, smiling all over, enters, and the muscular shopkeeper greets her with a smile.
“oh! Ariete!”
I even remembered the name of how often I heard it.
“Manager, we are leaving now. I have come to say hello.”
“oh! no! I still have a lot of weapons I want to sell to you guys!”
Ariete laughs. The manager also laughed. When he raised a big fist, Ariete also raised a fist and brought it back.
The fist bump has become the latest fashion in the South these days.
“If I get a chance, I will definitely visit again this year.”
“okay. Pile up the latest model and wait.”
Eris beckoned me as I walked out of the store after exchanging greetings with the kind, muscular bald head.
“Ariete! quick! We are paying our bills now!”
“this! Let’s go!”
The two ran to the guild full of adventurers. In order to avoid a dispute, Carrot was guided to a small room and sat down at a desk facing the three guild receptionists, while Crank crossed his arms behind him and felt shortness of breath.
The businesslike man sitting on the left handed over the papers, flicked the abacus calculator, checked among themselves, and then the female receptionist in the center opened her mouth.
“Party Carrot Tigers, the total settlement amount is 107 million Leeds. The pirate ship subjugation quest and its bounty accounted for a large portion of it.”
To be honest, it was good to see that the subjugation of pirates was earned.
Hearing the settlement amount, Ariete and Eris either covered their mouths with both hands or nodded happily. Lotte just clapped. Venus followed quietly, wearing a white cloth and on crutches.
Carrot looks back.
“crank?”
Crank, who was holding his chest with both hands in a position as if he was about to collapse, immediately straightened his body. The receptionist, who had met the two last year, smiled warmly.
It is our privilege to watch adventurers grow.
“Three million Leeds are needed now. The remaining amount is requested by promissory note. I will withdraw from Argon.”
“All right. wait a minute.”
Together, the three of them filled out the document, signed it, took out the notarized magic stone, inserted it into the scroll, and held it out.
“The documents are fine, but you must never forget the authentication magic stone. I like that you think there is money in it.”
“and! Hang up the promissory note first.”
The receptionist, who was touching Carrot’s cheeks with both hands as if they were cute, smiled brightly.
“Because I can’t carry that much money. Forgery is almost impossible.”
Crank, who received the documents and the certified mana stone, said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
“If communication is broken, we could be even closer.”
“There is an elf outside, please tell me.”
Crank nodded, said hello, and left the door. Vanilla, an elf female adventurer from the Consen Party, was waiting for her turn with the party people.
“hmm···!”
“what. why?”
“no. That’s it. What’s wrong with you?”
“yes? Look at this! crank!”
Receptionists who watched Crank’s actions with interest turned their heads and laughed or giggled. Vanilla looked back at him leaving the guild as if he didn’t understand why, but hurriedly went inside at the people’s call.
After splitting their reserves and getting some supplies from the market, they headed to the Nivera branch of Argon. It’s because I’ve already found out about the caravan going back to Argon at noon today.
“We are leaving!”
Surprisingly, the 16th car’s Giswa Khaki greeted them again.
“and! What a coincidence! Nice to see you again!”
“See you again. Nice to meet you.”
The people who gathered again talked about the past while looking at the scenery outside the window throughout the journey.
“ha ha ha! Carrot’s story has spread to Argon now!”
“and! really?!”
said the deputy chief Geese.
“That guy, that talkative guy spread it first.”
“Uh heh heh! Did the Adventurer’s Guild Master really like it? I got that allowance. Maybe he’ll call you for a detailed story?”
“Ohhh!”
Carrot turned around, but Crank only let out a short sigh.
Then Khaki pointed at the automaton covered in white cloth like a ghost.
“Who is this? Are you a person?”
“Venus. This is an automaton purchased from Nivera. My legs are a bit uncomfortable, so leave them alone.”
Khaki nodded, looked at them again, and started talking about the chatter they had built up. Carrot also competed with him without losing.
Crank sat and stared out the window indifferently, but his head was about to explode with what he had to do in Argon.
It is about Ariete and Shion.
Returning to Argon after a week of slow travel, Ariete screamed.
“Uhhhhh?! It’s still winter here!”
“It is because it has crossed the limit line. The snow doesn’t melt here until March. Spring comes suddenly in April.”
“That is terrible. Grumpy…!”
Ariete, from the West, was very cold. Eris smiles softly.
“It’s okay once you get used to it.”
“That’s something you don’t want to hear from a northern native. Eris.”
Wearing only one coat, Eris just smiled. After getting off the automatic water vehicle at the top and going to the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters with other adventurers to receive confirmation of mission completion, they headed not to their home, but to their guild.
“This body arrived!”
The guild was quiet. Most of the adventurers were either still in the south or on their way to Seoul, so it was the guild receptionists who welcomed them.
“and-! Carrot! You’re back!”
“Orion!”
Seeing the excited receptionist dancing hand in hand with the automaton, Crank raises his hand.
“Do you have a guild master? Oh, I want to pay for this before then.”
Crank held out the promissory note documents he had brought from Nivea and the certified magic stone. Orion, who received and inquired about it, said in a surprising voice.
“and-! Over 100 million? You easily exceeded the average income of a party of five?”
“It’s because I caught a pirate ship in the middle. There was a bounty.”
“Still, you are great. It’s a big difference from last year, isn’t it? What about the amount? But right now I can’t give you all. I haven’t brought the cash yet.”
Crank turned to Eris. There were no other adventurers in the guild, so Crank took out his notebook and looked at the calculations.
“Eris, how about 30 million Leeds including donations?”
Eris passed out.
“What?!”
As Ariete grabbed it, Crank looked back.
“Do you have 30 million Leeds cash?”
“That is possible.”
However, the stunned Eris was not easily awoken. Carrot asked.
“Is that correct calculation?”
“No, I just hit it. We had a lot of help from Eris. And luck followed. I use my goodwill at times like this. Wouldn’t it be bad to show off to the priests well?”
Ariete, who had been picking Eris up, was stunned.
“You want to look good to the priests? Didn’t I tell you to f*ck with humanity’s fraternity before?”
“You’re smarter than I thought. Do you remember that?”
“You are doing too much! Even if it looks like this, I am a graduate of the knight school!”
“That’s done.”
“no! didn’t work! look at me!”
Ariete raised her arms and screamed, but Crank ignored it. Until Eris woke up, he requested a meeting with the Adventurer’s Guild Master.
When they went up to the guild room on the second floor, the guild master, who always wears a suit to work, greeted them with open arms.
“welcome! crank! And cutie Carrot! Goddess doll!”
“Uh heh heh!”
Carrot likes it. Crank, who was talking to him while standing opposite him, crossed his arms.
“So, Panther, a famous southern adventurer, requested technical support for Ariete’s prosthetic arm.”
“oh my god! crank! What are you doing while I’m not looking! Such a good story!”
Crank felt his head hurt. However, the guild master was surprisingly sane. he spoke quickly.
“It is a big number. I think we need to discuss that with the Automaton Maintenance Guild, the lord, and the head of the merchant association.”
“Are you doing it right now?”
“We will contact you within 3-4 days. In the meantime, prepare your materials.”
“All right.”
Crank bowed his head and tried to turn around, but the guild master caught him.
“I want to hear more about the goddess’s doll story. Right now, the capital is contacting us directly, so,”
“Then I will send you carrots tomorrow morning.”
“oh! Thank you!”
When I went down to the first floor, Eris was sitting on a chair drinking cold water.
“Will you lack 30 million?”
“Pooh!”
The mouth that spewed water started to twitch. Carrot came out.
“Now, calm down. Take a deep breath, whoa! Whoa!”
The real Eris finally opened her mouth.
“Gye, is the calculation correct?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Roughly.”
“Not roughly!”
“Is it not enough?”
“It is not!”
“All right. Orion, 30 million Leeds in cash, please.”
Surprised, Eris waved her arms.
“no! first! Cheer up, 10 million Rizman! Please.”
In the end, Eris accepted the 10 million Leeds cash pouch. Eris, who lived as a trainee until the age of 25 and later became a priest because of her divine powers, was able to repay the favor of the temple in just three months.
“Actually, this is not my skill. It’s just because I met the party well.”
“that’s right. what? Are you dissatisfied?”
“It’s not like that, but I think it’s because I’m feeling some unknown guilt?”
Ariete put her on the shoulder.
“Luck is also skill. open your chest Priest Eris.”
Eris felt her life blossom.
“I have a request.”
“What is it?”
“If you are not busy, please come with me to the temple for a moment.”
Everyone who left the guild now headed to the temple. And there I met the priest. The two of them talked for a long time at a distance and ended with Eris holding the large pouch in the arms of the priest.
Returning to her friends, Eris was crying profusely.
“I finally paid you back! I, I am now a free priest!”
“Yes, congratulations. I tried great job. Now let’s walk only on the flower path. your life is just beginning you can do it. say you can do it you are the best.”
“Now we can even get married!”
“okay. congratulations.”
Eris wiped away her tears, looked up at the crank, and shouted.
“I want to run for your bride!”
Carrot and Ariete’s eyes almost popped out.
In the meantime, Lotte, who doesn’t notice, starts clapping.
clap clap clap-!
“no! no! I am absolutely against it!”
