A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Is the little girl talking about me?" Levy, who had been holding Bray, jumped up and tried to ask the older girl.

"Yes, cute little Levy~" The receptionist certainly knew Levy's name; Levy had registered as an adventurer with her.

"Hehe 0V0." Although she didn't know why the receptionist mentioned her, Levy just thought she was cute.

"That one? That one? That one?" Bray fell silent, even impulsively counting on his fingers.

Are there that many women around him? After the receptionist reminded him, he even had the illusion that he was building a harem.

"Yes, that one, that one, and that one too." The receptionist looked at Bray meaningfully.

It's quite amusing to see the famous "Demon Hunter" looking so embarrassed.

Mr. Bray hadn't come for almost a year, and the receptionist really thought he had quit.

If Bray quits, the Adventurers' Guild will lose another interesting person.

“…” Bray lowered his head, deciding to give up thinking.

"But since Mr. Bray already has a harem, he must have saved a lot of money, so why is he still coming to the guild?"

"First, I do not have a harem," Bray solemnly declared.

"Secondly, I don't have much money saved up." As he spoke, he covered his forehead, his dead fish eyes filled with pain.

Even though I completed the "Great Enemy of God" quest and made a fortune, why am I now finding myself in financial straits again?

It's unscientific and makes no sense.

They promised it would be enough money to ensure I'd never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of my life.

"Ah, now there are two more dragons in the house," Bray muttered helplessly.

"Mr. Bray, what were you saying just now?"

“Two relatives came to our house to freeload,” Bray said.

"Really? You must be having a tough time."

"!?" Bray looked up abruptly, gazing at the receptionist with emotion.

That's so well said! Finally, someone has realized how hard I've been working!

"You've been an adventurer for about four or five years now."

"You always seem to work so hard."

"!!!!!!!" Bray nodded heavily, like a salted fish thrashing about on the ground.

"So this time, you also want to choose a job that isn't too strenuous, right?"

“!!!!” Bray continued to nod, gradually turning into Levy.

"Hmm..." Levy looked at Bray in shock. So Bray was like her?

Then, she suddenly felt super happy and made a 0V0 face like Bray.

"Well then, let me recommend a job that allows you to travel and earn money at the same time," the receptionist winked at Bray.

"Ta-da!" She pushed a letter of authorization in front of Bray.

Bray picked up the power of attorney and glanced at it.

—"In the southern part of the Eastern Continent, the Miqiu Rabbits are rampant. We are recruiting a large number of adventurers to subdue them."

—"Additional information: The Miball Rabbits are showing mild symptoms of berserk mode, making them three times more difficult to defeat. Adventurers, please be careful."

—"For every ten Miko Rabbits defeated, you can exchange them for 2G."

"Adventurers can take the hunted Miko rabbits back to process themselves; Miko rabbits are a delicacy with excellent meat quality."

Originally, if you could only earn 2G for every 10, it wouldn't be a particularly large amount.

Even if Bray hunts down 10000 of them, he'll only get 2000 gold, which is probably not enough to feed two dragons for a week.

But! However! ! ! ! !

Bray accepted the call, very decisively.

He silently put the power of attorney away.

"Hey, aren't you going to look at anything else?" The receptionist was surprised by Bray's straightforwardness.

That decision was made way too quickly.

“No need.” Bray’s tone was a little agitated.

Oh, of course he wasn't excited because he saw the words "Mickey Rabbit".

Although he did have a minor grudge against Miqiu Rabbit, it wasn't enough to make him so agitated.

The reason Bray was so excited was that the request was all too normal.

Aside from the word "berserk" making Bray's eyelids twitch a bit, the entire quest was just a normal raiding mission.

No need to keep watch in strange towns, no need to go up terrifying mountains to collect herbs.

That way, you won't encounter any creepy paranormal events or repulsive dragons.

It doesn't matter if the money is a little less; it's good to do more similar normal commissions.

Anyway, there are still quite a few people left with the "Great Enemy of God". Bray is just worried that Xiaoxue and Xiaoyou's spending speed will increase linearly, so he is just preparing in advance.

Besides, if all else fails, they can complain to Nick Bolas and have the two dragons kicked back.

Only someone like Bray would be so disgusted with the legendary dragon.

"Naruko, we're going to the Eastern Continent." Bray held up the letter of authorization in front of Naruko.

"What! The Eastern Continent!" Upon hearing Bray's words, Naruko jumped up from the sofa in shock.

"Don't scare me, I don't want to go back," Naruko said tremblingly.

“Look at it carefully yourself,” Bray said irritably.

Only then did Naruko seriously read the contents of the power of attorney.

"Miqiu Rabbit?"

"Look at the address!"

"Bian Nan!" Naruko breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back down on the sofa.

"In that case, we'll talk about it later. Let's grab something to eat first?" Naruko waved to Bree and waved the snacks in her hand.

"..." A "well" character appeared on Bray's forehead.

"Mr. Bray, you're going out, right?" Xiaoxue leaned against Xiaoyou and said to Bray with a smile.

"Uh...yes." Breton paused, then answered anyway.

"In that case, my sister and I won't go with you, since it's your job."

"It's not appropriate for us dragons to get involved, is it?"

"Emmmmm" Bray originally wanted the two dragons to help him defeat the Miqiu Rabbit, but after Xiaoxue said that, he felt embarrassed.

"In that case, I'll just have some time alone with my sister."

"Huh?" Before Brey could speak, Xiao You was the first to voice her doubt. Bian Nan is a city located in the southern part of Yun Du Kingdom.

In that place, the grasslands are vast and boundless, making it very suitable for animal husbandry.

Of course, it's also a suitable place for Miqiu Rabbit to live.

You can also interpret "biannan" as "southern side" for the time being, and that interpretation is not wrong.

However, it is still not quite accurate. Biannan is called Biannan because it is located south of a certain ancient site, which contains the character "bian" (边).

Unfortunately, this ancient site is no longer there; it has been buried underground by sand.

That being said, there is not only a city in the south, but also a city in the west.

As for why it's called Bianxi, you can refer to the naming of Biannan to understand it.

However, it's unlikely that a city will be mentioned this time.

I probably... won't mention it.

Getting back to the main point, if you want to travel from the central mainland to the southern border, the only options besides airships are ships.

Bray chose the airship; yes, he chickened out.

No, that's not quite right. You can't say he was cowardly; you can only say he didn't want to be unlucky on public transport.

It seems that airships are the mode of transportation with the fewest accidents.

Unfortunately, Bray forgot that the reason airships had the fewest accidents was because he rarely rode in them.

---

Airships departing from the central continent pierced through the clouds and slowly moved forward in the high sky.

Looking out the window, all you can see is layer upon layer of sea of ​​clouds.

The clouds moved slowly and steadily; if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice that they were moving.

"Brave, the white sea~" Levy lay by the window, her tail wagging slightly.

She really wanted to wag her tail fast, but if she did, she'd smash the seat to pieces.

Without realizing it, Levy had grown up to the point where she knew how to be tactful.

This is truly a cause for celebration and is incredibly touching.

“That’s a cloud.” Bray patted Levy’s head.

Levy squinted her eyes unconsciously, enjoying Bray's head pat, her ears twitching.

"Is that a sea made of clouds?" Levy tried to ask.

“Yes, the sea of ​​clouds,” Bray answered patiently.

Some people might ask, is it better to have the Levy who was all emotionless and aloof before, or the Levy who is now all cute and cuddly?

Bray could only reply that anything was fine with Levy.

However, this tranquility was broken.

"Brave, I have a bad feeling," Naruko said, resting her chin on her hand and leaning against the window.

“…” Bray suppressed all his emotions.

"I have a feeling this flight experience won't be very good," Naruko continued.

“…” Bray’s expression darkened.

Naruko's intuition was incredibly accurate, so accurate that even Bray had to admit it.

Then Naruko was very lucky; even though everyone around her fell down, she didn't.

If Naruko had a bad feeling, would that be contradictory? Of course not.

Because of a bad feeling, and this bad feeling is directed at everyone here.

"Bang!" Before Naruko could finish speaking, the entire airship began to shake violently.

"I personally don't think we'll encounter any sky pirates or anything like that here, right?" Bray said to Naruko expressionlessly.

"Sky pirates are a specialty of the Western Continent. We people on the Eastern Continent are simple and honest, how could there be such guys?" Naruko looked at Bray with disdain.

Sky pirates, or in other words, bandits in the sky, are easy to encounter in the Western Continent.

However, it is highly unlikely that it will be seen in the Eastern Continent.

In the East, the chances of encountering pirates are quite high.

"Thump!!!" The airship shook more and more violently.

"So why is this airship shaking so violently?"

"A storm?" Naruko tried to guess.

“It’s a snake,” Levy said, pointing out the window.

“Snake?” Bray and Naruko exchanged a puzzled look.
