adventurers in the sewers

After the two girls explained it to him, Louis finally understood.

Transforming from a lowly adventurer to a superhuman professional is like a fantasy version of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination in another world, right?

The once deserted doorway will soon be overrun with wealthy people eager to curry favor.

This is all before Dina and Nora revealed that they were rare professionals. If outsiders knew about this, even more merchants and gang leaders would come to visit them.

A loan of 100 gold coins is a lot, but this loan is interest-free and the repayment period can be extended to three years or even longer, so the repayment pressure is not too great.

If you calculate it carefully, even if Dana and Nora borrowed all the money and spent it all at once, there would be no risk of them being unable to repay the debt.

Even if they really can't pay back the money, what can the bank do to them?

Even though these banks are run by various professional associations, the associations can only supervise them to work harder and pay back the money sooner; they don't even dare to offend Dana and Nora.

"If we calculate it that way, I'm at a loss! I can only borrow ten gold coins."

Louis felt like he had suddenly lost ninety gold coins.

Nora snorted:

"What are you losing out on? The Shield Guardian Codex was a free gift, and the Mercury Shield was also a free gift. There's no need to upgrade your equipment, so what's the point of borrowing so much money?"

"Do you know the value of that Mercury Shield? I went to the equipment shop to inquire, and it's not cheaper than that amethyst robe I've been eyeing."

Louis thought about it and agreed.

However, he added:

"I have to buy magic crystals..."

But before Louis could finish speaking, Nora interrupted him.

"I was just about to tell you this... These past two days, when I've been cultivating, I've felt that my cultivation speed is four to five times faster than usual, even in terms of magic adaptability training."

"I don't recall you using magic crystals for training recently, Louis. Do you have any clue about it?"

Dai Na also seemed to be deep in thought.

She also realized that her cultivation speed was abnormally fast, and she was wondering if this was a period of explosive growth after changing her job.

But now it seems that this is not entirely true.

"Well... I can only say it's complicated to explain, but anyway, all my stats did surge a few days ago."

"But everyone can rest assured, I have not gone astray in my pursuit of power, it is just a special talent that I have always possessed."

Louis offered a brief explanation, then fell silent.

Dana and Nora nodded, without pressing for details.

In fact, even before Louis changed jobs, they sensed that his strength was increasing abnormally fast. One month he was an ordinary person who had never been an adventurer, and the next month he was a quasi-hero.

I initially thought this was just a manifestation of Louis's personal talent, and that he would return to normal after changing jobs.

But it seems this guy's abnormal behavior will continue.

However, as Louis's teammates, this is definitely a great thing for Dana and Nora.

The faster Louis's strength improves, the faster they will improve.

"In that case, I might actually be able to meet the job change requirements faster than that magic swordsman."

An excited look appeared in Dai Na's eyes.

As long as there is a sliver of a chance, she will not give up the competition for the Sun Knight's Codex.

If you miss out on this ready-made secret manual, who knows how long you'll have to wait for the new Sun Knight Secret Manual to arrive.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Nora's tone carried a hint of curiosity.

As the group walked and talked, Dina passed on the information she had obtained from Sir Carenno to Nora.

"So you ran into the magic swordsman from the Third Hero Squad. You're really unlucky, Daina."

Nora chuckled softly:

"I don't have that kind of trouble anymore. The Mage Association has two full stock of the most suitable advanced tome for me, 'Shadow Summoner,' so no one is competing with me for it. Plus, the exchange price is 20% off."

"My dear magic swordswoman, why don't you change your magic tome? What's the point of competing with your hero teammates? It's just a drain on human combat power."

Daina clicked her tongue in annoyance and snorted coldly:

"A class-specific manual that's being offered at a 20% discount by the Mage Association? It looks like a bottom-tier profession that no one would learn in generations."

"The fact that there is no necromancer in the Third Hero's party further proves that your class is really mediocre."

Nora wasn't angry at all. Instead, she peeked out a long, slender index finger from under her cloak, pointed at Dina, and said in a condescending tone:

"I'm getting anxious."

Dai Na: "..."

The blue-haired girl blushed instantly.

Seemingly worried about being beaten up by the magic swordsman at close range, Nora quickly coughed lightly:

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to go to the shop next door to buy two cucumbers. Wait for me a minute."

By the time she returned leisurely, Daina's anger had mostly subsided.

This girl has a short memory. As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, she quickly forgets about them. Perhaps this is why Nora can keep teasing Dina without ever getting a beating.

"Speaking of which, the third hero needs to accomplish the great feat of saving 100,000 people. Louis, you are one of them, aren't you?"

Nora asked.

Louis nodded:

"Originally, I planned to wait a month and complete this great undertaking little by little by accepting commissions, but it seems that time is not enough. The demonic tide may come at any time."

Nora said, "Since the Third Hero accomplished his great feat by annihilating the demonic tide, so can we."

"One hero team is in the open, and another hero team is in the shadows. All the hatred has been drawn away by the third hero, so we can just keep quiet and make a fortune."

"Even if there are demon spies trying to assassinate the hero, they won't be able to reach us."

Louis gave Nora a strange look.

If we're talking about cunning and ruthless, you've got to be it; you perfectly fit the stereotypical image of a necromancer.

However... I like this suggestion.

"We'll see then. The demonic tide can't be wiped out by the Third Hero Squad alone. The Blackrock City authorities will definitely call on professionals. We can just sign up and find a relatively safe spot to fight the enemy."

Louis said.

The three of them happily finalized their action plan for the Demon Tide period.

During their conversation, they arrived at the bank under the Mage Association. The bank under the Warrior Association was located right next door, saving them the trouble of making two trips.

Nora and Dana actually borrowed one hundred gold coins in one go, and boldly divided it into only twenty installments, which means they had to repay five gold coins each month.

Today is September 28th, and repayments will begin on the 28th of next month.

Nora planned to use all the money to improve herself, and Dina did the same.

The only difference is that she would regularly send 10 silver coins to each family of the victims of the Hughes caravan every month.

The reason why the debt wasn't paid off all at once was because she was worried that some spendthrift son would squander the entire compensation money too early. Dai Na's intentions can be described as very good.

In addition to the eleven families, Louis also received compensation from Dina.

From her parents' pension to the money she had previously lent to Dina, as well as her lodging and living expenses, the girl scraped together a total of five gold coins to repay Louis, with the extra amount intended for future lodging expenses.

As for Louis, he went around the bank and didn't get a single penny in loan.
