"The only weapon, lost?"
Penniless and destitute, Bell didn't know what to do next.
"Whoosh whoosh."
A delicate gasp came from behind.
Bell was startled, "Pursuers?"
Turning his head, he saw a pretty girl with short grey hair. Bell remembered that it was the girl he accidentally knocked down on the street.
"Um, Mr. Adventurer, is this the dagger you lost?"
Bell looked at the weapon held in the girl's hands. It was the dagger he had lost.
"Woo, it's mine. Thank you so much." Bell looked at Xier's stockings that were torn by running hard, and her skirt that was still dirty, with tears in his eyes:
"I did something so outrageous during the day..."
"It's okay." Xi'er's eyes were gentle: "Weapons are the life of adventurers. If you lose them, it will be very troublesome."
"Yes, you saved my life!"
Bell couldn't imagine what would happen to him in Orario if he lost his weapon and was penniless. Would he have to go back to his aunt's family and ask for alms?
"You're exaggerating, Mr. Adventurer." Xier said modestly.
"That's not an exaggeration, this... By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
"Xi'er, my name is Xi'er. What's yours?"
Bell was startled by the words "you". It seemed that after seeing Xi'er, she would take out her letter of conversion and ask him to write his name to her...
"Well, my name is Bell, Bell Crane."
"Okay, Mr. Bell, then, as a reward for saving my life, what will you do to repay me?" Xier put her hands behind her back and looked at Bell with a smile.
Bell shuddered.
Step back gently...
"What do you want to do?"
Xier reached behind her back and pulled out a flyer...
Here it comes…Bell swallowed.
My brain was thinking frantically, should I run or not?
"Come to think of it, I work part-time in this store. If Mr. Bell is an adventurer, can I choose to spend my dinner here in the future?"
"Eh?" Bell's stomach growled as he looked at the Hostess of Abundance flyer.
“No, it’s the letter of admission to the Axis Church!” Bell’s eyes sparkled.
He almost thought that the whole city was filled with that kind of people!
"That's great, it turns out there are still normal people in this world!!" Bell held Xier's hand and bowed to express his gratitude.
"I will definitely go!"
……
Xi'er waved goodbye to Bell and watched the boy continue his journey.
Xia Jia's figure was squatting on the bridge.
"Master, I thought you would directly persuade him to join Freya's family."
Xier smiled and said, "So I am the master."
"Tsk, it was me who triggered the encounter plot for you. So, aren't you afraid that Bell will really be kidnapped by Aqua?"
Hearing this, Xier grinned and said, "It doesn't matter. Just let her reunite with Ishtar when the time comes."
"Hey..., Yameluo. Please give me some face and spare her. She just has a bit of a brain problem. Her crime does not deserve death."
"That's true." Xier recalled Aqua's silly look. There was no need to work hard for such an opponent.
……
The night was dark.
After Bell left Xier, he entered the dungeon alone. He trotted all the way into the 5th floor, harvesting the lives of monsters like chopping melons and vegetables.
"The monsters in the dungeon are really strong, much stronger than those on the ground." Bell picked up the magic stones on the ground, counted his gains, and prepared to return to the city.
According to his estimation, the magic stones in the bag could be exchanged for about 2000 faris, which was enough for him to have a sumptuous dinner and stay in a hotel for one night.
When he returned to the ground and went to the guild to exchange for Fari...
"Sorry, you don't seem to be an adventurer, so we can't help you exchange Falki." Aegina pushed up her glasses and said solemnly.
"Eh? Eh hey hey hey?" Bell opened his mouth wide.
Chapter 594 Bell: So, trust will disappear? Right?
"Don't do that." Aina said with a serious expression:
"The guild does not support adventurers who have not received grace to enter the dungeon. In order to protect people like you... This should be your first day in Orario. Newcomers like you who aspire to be adventurers appear every day, but you are the first one who is so brave."
"Do you know how many new adventurers die in the dungeon every year?"
Bell lowered his head: "How much?"
Aegina said sadly, "In the few years I've worked here, four adventurers I was responsible for have never come out of the dungeon again. Without exception, they were all arrogant adventurers like you."
"Do you know how it feels to have a friend who is still chatting with you during the day, but turns into a cold corpse at night?"
"Especially for someone like you, who is neither an elf who is good at magic nor a dwarf who is good at strength. You are not particularly strong among humans. In addition, you have not been given any grace. You are a completely ordinary person. How dare you enter the dungeon casually?"
"I'm sorry!" Belle felt guilty. She understood the elf girl's deep meaning: "But, if I don't get the money..."
Before he could finish his words, Bell's stomach growled again.
Aegina remained unmoved and roared like a Shura: "Going into the dungeon on an empty stomach is a taboo among taboos! Okay, your crime is doubled! Get off my seat!"
"I'm...I'm sorry! But..."
Seems to be aware of Bell's predicament...
“Hey…” Seeing Bell’s pitiful appearance, Aina couldn’t help but said, “Come home with me first. Tomorrow I’ll help you find out if there are any Familiars that are recruiting new members recently. When you find a Familiar to join and become an adventurer, you can pay me back.”
"No need." A third voice came from the guild hall.
Kazuma stood up from the bench and approached Bell with his hands in his pockets, "Give me the harvest. I'll change it for you."
"This... is not against the rules." Aina looked at Bell.
Bell's face was full of vigilance.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not like that idiot Aqua. Besides, brother, I was the one who helped you escape from that fire pit." Kazuma patted Bell's shoulder with a thank-you-to-me expression on his face.
Bell thought about it and handed the harvest to Kazuma.
After Kazuma successfully switched to Farley, he looked at Aina who looked very unhappy:
"Don't use your mortal wisdom to define every adventurer. Look, this is what this kid earned in two hours. 2750 faris. It's not much, but for an adventurer who didn't receive a favor, it's totally abnormal."
Kazuma turned around and asked, "Brother, which level did you enter this time?"
"The fifth floor?" Bell answered honestly.
"Five...five floors?!" Aina pushed her glasses and repeated uncomfortably.
Soon, Aina regained her composure: "Adventurers cannot take risks! This is an iron rule. Even adventurers above level 3 will die if they are told to. Not to mention that this child is just an ordinary person who has not been granted a favor!"
"Not taking risks? Then you're going to be like those people, useless people who are still level 1 at the age of or ? How can you get praise from the gods if you don't break common sense? Hey, you want to be a hero, right?"
Bell stood at attention: "Yes, for some reason, I hope to become the hero of the world in her place. Kill the black dragon with my own hands!"
"Yoshi! Looks impressive. Let's go. We can't let the future heroes go hungry! As for the matter of the clan, I'll take you to see the world tomorrow."
The next day.
Kazuma and Bell come down from the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel.
At this time, Bell has changed into a set of "Rabbit Armor" and his weapon has also been replaced with a high-end one worth 2 Faris.
"Is it really okay? Buy me such expensive equipment?" Bell hesitated.
"It's okay. That Aqua guy caused you a lot of trouble yesterday. This is my compensation."
As the two talked, they came to the arena built by the Ganesha clan.
"here it is?"
Kazuma rubbed his nose:
"The Arena. As the name suggests, it's a place for adventurers to duel."
"So why are we here?"
Kazuma raised his finger. “Hmph, you are ignorant. If you want to make a name for yourself in Orario, besides visiting small clans like a headless fly like you, you can also entrust a guild with a favor. They will help you contact the main gods who are interested in recruiting new members and provide services for newbies like you.”
"But... those are all small clans, and they may even be unknown. If it were in the past, there might be evil gods who would take advantage of the situation and trick you into working in a black factory."
Kazuma raised his hand, "But it's different here! Bell-kun. This is the arena. It's a place to prove your worth to the whole city. You can show your potential in front of all the gods. As long as you are strong enough! It's no longer the gods who choose you, but you who choose the gods!"
"It doesn't matter if it's Loki's family or Freya's family. Even Astraea's family is possible! As long as you can pass the test, you will be the most handsome guy in the city!"
Kazuma pressed Bell's shoulder: "Do you have confidence?!"
"have it?"
"Speak louder and answer me! Is there one?"
"Have!"
As the two of them encouraged each other, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd.
"Hahahaha, this is so funny. You actually let such a little guy win the championship?! Don't be ridiculous. I remember that the last time the whole city was defeated, it was the big cut-off sisters. Just relying on this kid?"
One Amazon laughed out loud.
The dwarf next door also blew his beard and said, "Boy, you are not weaned yet, don't get beaten and cry, go back to your mother and cry! Hahahahaha."
"This..." Bell shrank his neck.
But it was met with even more fierce ridicule.
"Hey, did you see that? That rabbit actually said he wanted to reach the top!"
"Haha, what a good chance! I bet this kid can't last more than two rounds!"
"Don't be ridiculous, I bet he will be veiled by his opponent in three moves!"
"Haha, the market is open, hurry up and go to Ganesha to place your bets. This is a godsend opportunity. I'm destined to get rich today!"
The adventurers dispersed in a frolicking manner.
Kazuma patted Bell's shoulder nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm rooting for you. Those are mediocre people, what do they know about the gladiatorial arena?"
"Haha..." Bell nodded in confusion.
"Come on, tell me which mode you want to choose. Do you prefer fighting against humans or monsters?"
"Yes, is there any difference?"
"Well, if you fight a human, your opponent might show mercy, but if you fight a monster, you might die, which will attract more attention. What are you good at?"
"Monster... But, isn't this too dangerous?" Bell hesitated.
"Okay, then monster. I'm rooting for you!" Kazuma's face was filled with joy.
After leaving a sentence, he turned around and followed the crowd.
"Eh? Kazuma-san, where are you going?"
"Place your bet. The odds of you making it through ten rounds of monster battles are 1 to 5000. If you have extra savings, I can help you bet."
"Eh?"
Bell's pupils dimmed as he watched Kazuma's eyes flashing with Farley's.
Have I been tricked again?
