The unscrupulous merchant could tell that a young man from the countryside, who didn't even know how to bargain, was the perfect target for ripping him off.
At times like these, all you need to do is use your words:
"If you stay for three consecutive days, the accommodation fee will only be two thousand fali."
Once those words were spoken...
"Oh, thank you very much."
The rabbit boy quickly paid the money, smiling happily, "Thank you for giving me such a good price."
"Uh...oh~"
Perhaps unable to resist that overly innocent smile, the shop owner's voice became much softer.
"I'll go put my luggage down and then head out!"
The boy still looked very excited.
We are filled with wonderful expectations for the future.
Chapter 201 And so, they met...
By joining a particular 'family', one can obtain 'divine grace' from the corresponding chief deity.
This is the minimum requirement set by the 'guild' for registering as an adventurer.
Today, the number of adventurers registered within Orario has reached tens of thousands.
However, there are still many people who, even though they have already received the 'divine grace,' have never registered at the 'guild' headquarters.
There are many reasons for this situation.
For example, the main deity of a clan might hide someone as a 'trump card'.
For example, the higher-ups of a faction might not want to increase their group's power level too quickly in order to avoid being forced to complete missions by the 'guild'.
And... various personal reasons.
Of course, whatever the reason, in contrast to these situations, there are still many people in this city who have never been able to find a way to obtain 'God's grace'.
That's why those grassroots 'professional supporters' have emerged.
As far as Ling Shu knew, even Hestia had her own standards for recruiting people; she didn't just start persuading anyone she met.
However, the children she took a liking to didn't like her at all... cough cough.
Not much gossip.
In short, because the 'guild' does not prevent ordinary people from entering the dungeon, that group will live an extremely difficult and... dangerous life.
Those with low Grace level and low [Basic Ability] values... or those who lack 'Divine Grace' as supporters are often used as expendable pawns to cover the retreat by unscrupulous adventurers... This has been a common occurrence for thousands of years.
Just as there are shadows under the light, similar situations cannot be prevented even with the presence of the Ganesha Familia, who can be considered the 'city's security force,' within the labyrinth city.
People die here every day...
Yes, the labyrinthine city, which claims to be the 'center of the world,' is clearly completely different from the idyllic future that a certain young man who has just arrived imagines.
today……
"Although the prices here are very high, the shop owner is a really kind person, so I have three days to go."
Unaware that he had been ripped off, the white rabbit boy, who had just found a temporary place to stay, ran happily towards the southeast of the city.
There, apart from the 'Daedalus Street' which is currently under renovation and inconvenient to enter at the moment, there is another area that Bell decided as a child to 'visit whenever he has the chance to go to Orario'.
Its name is: First Cemetery.
After about twenty minutes, the boy arrived breathlessly at the 'Adventurer's Cemetery' covered with white stone tablets.
He subconsciously swallowed, feeling utterly shocked by the scene before him.
Indeed, the number of white stone tablets on those rolling hills was far too dense.
It's spectacular.
But it's also...very unsettling.
The naive boy naturally overlooked one question: Why are there so many tombstones here?
He didn't think too much about it; he simply moved towards the deepest part with a feeling of longing.
In front of the most conspicuous, five-meter-tall black stone monument.
Unlike the surrounding small white stone tablets, this large black stone tablet is engraved with the names of various 'heroes'.
Let's start with those 'ancient heroes' who left behind legends...
'Mercenary King' Albert Wallentstein
'Flame Sword Hero' Epimetheus
'Fiona Knights'
……
and also……
'The First Hero' Argo
The boy with the white rabbit became more and more excited as he watched.
Because only at such times, when he is in a 'famous tourist attraction,' does he truly feel so close to the 'heroes.'
Next, I will become a formal adventurer in this city.
The boy admired the 'heroes' in the story.
But as of now, he has never thought about becoming a 'hero'.
He just felt...
"From now on, I must work even harder, even if it's just to get a little bit closer to them (the heroes)."
The boy wanted to step onto the grand stage of the 'world'.
Even if it's just a minor supporting role.
Just like those passersby in legends who had crossed paths with 'heroes', they were fortunate enough to leave their names (traces) in the annals.
For today's youth, that would be an unparalleled honor.
"All right."
Bell patted his cheeks. "That's enough for my stroll. Although I have three days, I have to be prepared for a long haul."
The boy wasn't so arrogant as to think he could easily find a clan to join.
At that moment, after paying his respects to the names on the large black stone monument, he turned and prepared to leave the 'First Cemetery'.
But, just at that moment...
"!"
Although it was just a distant view, there must have been a distance of at least tens of meters between them.
But the boy was still stunned.
In his field of vision, he saw the girl who had once soared into the sky under the moonlight and disappeared into the distance.
blonde hair, golden eyes, and a white dress.
She was accompanied by two men.
One of them, like her, had blonde hair and golden eyes, and their appearance was about 90% similar.
The other person was a relatively rare black-haired youth.
Most noticeably, he wore a simple black ring on each of his ten fingers.
That's all I've seen...
【Starry Twins】
The White Rabbit Boy has confirmed it.
That night, the girl who repelled a large number of Scorpion Splinters and saved her village was one of the Twin Stars.
At this moment, the boy's feelings were very complicated.
His first reaction was to thank the other party.
That was, after all, a life-saving favor.
but……
"Ok?"
An adventurer's senses are extremely sharp.
Even without relying on passive 'hostility perception', simply being watched from the shadows for a long time will trigger a sense of unease.
Right now, somewhere in the 'First Cemetery', Ying is placing a bouquet of white lilies in front of her deceased friend's grave.
Ling Shu and Kong, who were traveling with him, simultaneously noticed the gaze coming from dozens of meters away on their left.
When they instinctively turned their heads, what they saw was a boy hiding behind a large black stone monument like a startled rabbit.
"..."
White hair, red eyes... Well, if Ling Shu still can't recognize who this is, then he might as well go to sleep.
"What's this? You've tried to plant flowers with care, but they haven't bloomed?"
I waited for hours at the Central Square, and then I just randomly came to the 'First Cemetery' and bumped into the 'protagonist'?
"How to say?"
Kong asked in the mental link, "Should we 'hijack' it?"
Hearing him ask that...
"have a look."
Ling Shu responded directly with a text message, "Whether or not I want to 'hijack' the deal, I have things to do for the rest of the day."
