Chapter 378 – Colors From Outer Space

“Come over here!”

Following the girl’s guidance, we entered the barn.

“As I said, you just have to pay 5 silver together with the deposit! The daily rental fee for Jim Yong Quites is 25 coppers, so if you return on the 10th day, we will refund the balance of 2 silvers and 50 coppers! “

If the rental fee is 25 copper per day, I think it’s okay.

If it was like the old days, I would have cried out, saying, “Oh fuck, this fucking world is more expensive than people. But now I’m different.”

Because meteorites are worth the investment.

“The ransom is higher than that of an E-class adventurer for a new subject.”
“Bastard, do you compare to them?”
“Of course not.”

Rather than beggars with no ability, such livestock would be more reliable.

In fact, the ability itself is even better.

Since it is not a person, its versatility will be inferior in many ways, but the purpose of carrying luggage itself is not comparable to that of a person. So you get more money

It’s not a town that recognizes the value of people without ability.

ㅡ Pleasant love!
—Guggye! Gobble up!
ㅡKyureek!!!

All that could be heard in the barn were the screams of once-monsters who had been reduced to livestock. But can we really use these fucking bastards?

“Here is this guy.”

The girl opened the door of the barn, which was divided into sections, and pulled the string connected to the saddle of Quites, who was sitting inside.

—Queack.

Then, Quites, who opened his eyes wide, walked out slowly.

Indeed, it is a subspecies of cockatrice.

Covered in brown feathers, his legs looked very solid, but it was definitely enough for a gym with a hell spear that screwed up his lower body like that.

He didn’t cry very loud, perhaps because he was on the docile side.

“Now, if you pull this, it will go well on its own. Touch it.”

The girl passed the string to Winia. Seeing that she doesn’t go wild when Winia pulls her, she seems to be gentle.

“Jim is an object that can carry the weight of two adult women and move for several hours. It is omnivorous, so you can feed it grass or the meat of monsters you hunted with bones. Its beak is so big that it can crush bones and eat it.”

After all, a monster with a name is a monster.

“Is it okay to let the grass graze the leaves in the hills?”
“Yes. If you’re on the go, you won’t have to worry about food expenses.”

When I asked, the girl answered kindly.

“But can this guy tell the difference between food?”
“Of course. I keep going outside to feed them, so I know all about the grass that Cytes eats. I don’t eat anything I don’t know. But you can accidentally ingest poisonous plants or mushrooms, so be careful. You have to ask. Please be careful.”

It seems that the price of such a gym quites is about 7 silver.

It’s cheaper than words, but it seems expensive when you consider the price.

The cost of living for a low-level adventurer living on the bare minimum is 3 to 5 coppers a day. The poor are about 1-2 coppers. If you think about it by their standards, the price really makes no sense.

But I didn’t raise them to use them anyway, so it must be an appropriate price.

“Okay. I understand. Here’s the fare.”
“Enjoy your trip!”

After paying the money, I went out of the barn and decided to put the backpack on Quites’s back using the string I bought yesterday.

I was having a hard time because this was a more difficult job than I thought, so soon Cloudy skillfully taught me how to load the livestock.

“Ohhh, a desert dark elf as expected.”
“Because I’ve done a lot of caravan transport escorts. Now that I’ve told you, you can do cuts, right?”
“I’ll try it next time, so take a look at it then.”
“Yes. I’ll see you.”

I also have a lot of experience as I have lived for a long time.

ㅡ Queek.

Quires was a fairly calm guy, so he didn’t stir up a fuss even while he was loading his luggage. Seeing that, Winia stroked the guy’s neck and said.

“Looking at how docile you are, I think you made a good choice. Let’s go now.”

I awkwardly reached out and pulled the string that connected Cures’ saddle and beak. Then, as I pulled, I stretched out my legs and moved forward.

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

Be quiet and listen well.

As expected, there was nothing wrong with the saying that a child of a beast is better than a child of a human being. Above all, it was the first time I had such an experience, so it was quite fresh and amazing.

“Oh, oh. This is moving.”
“Cuk-Cuk. Then move. He’s the one who said so. Anyway, let’s start.”

I went right inside the gate and came out again through the north gate.

From now on, the journey to find meteorites begins in earnest.

I wasn’t sure what the outcome would be, but I was looking forward to it. Because of this, it seems that all the adventurers are leaving to find meteorites.

Aren’t those people who are moving towards the unknown Shincheonji with high hopes, these are adventurers?

After all, the adventurers on Earth who set sail after hearing that gold and pepper were piled up would not be much different. If there is a large amount of money at stake, it is a characteristic of the human race to put your head first.

Desire is human fuel.

“Winia. What’s the road?”

Winia pulled out a map and began her explanation of her.

“First of all, you have to go straight along the road like this and then take a sideway from the middle. From what I’ve seen, you don’t have to take a detour, but if you go straight while taking some mountain roads, it’ll be done in 5 days. If you’re lucky, you can go in 4 days.”
“Yes.

ㅡ Queek.

“But it works really well.”

Quires is trudging along on both legs, carrying our luggage without saying a word. He is said to have decent speed and good endurance, so he should have no problem moving around.

And as long as it moves on two legs, it will be able to go where a carriage cannot go. It’s useful to know that they even eat their own food.

We walked along the highway without hesitation.

As expected, it was not difficult at all because I was simply walking without carrying my luggage, and it was rather enjoyable to go on an outing.

However, he was concerned about the other people he encountered along the way and the adventurers going in the same direction.

In this era, the people you encounter outside are no different from potential robbers.

“Ah, this is a story I heard from Karin.”
“To the leader of the swordsman’s guild?”

As I was about to tell a story, Winia looked at my face her.

Winia doesn’t particularly like Karin. Although Cloudy and I became close enough to sleep on each other’s bodies.

“Winia. Do you hate Karin?”
“Who says he doesn’t like it? It’s just a little bit. You haven’t seen the swordsman’s guild leader much. I’ve been with you for a long time, so I’m just like you.”
“Oh, Winia. Are you finally thinking like that?”
“I said something similar the other day. Don’t stick. Oh, don’t stick.”

Cloudy clung to Winia. She once said with her nuance that she likes Winia too because I love her that she has a big crush on her Winia her, and she loves Winia and she loves me and gives birth to her child her.

“Karin said she wanted to see her later.”

Anyway, I spilled the story about Karin to Winia.

“That person? Well, I want to talk to you again. Let’s go together once this is over.”
“Okay.”
“So, what did you hear from the bastard Karin?”
“This is the story I heard from Karin.”

This is the story she told Karin when I was convalescing with her sprained arm her, because she told Karin that she had fought a troll.

“In some kingdoms, when young aspiring knights enlist for the first time, they do basic training for nearly a year.”
“Of course he’s a knight, so he’ll train them.”
“Hmm, a knight.”

Winia and Claudy both showed interest.

Of course, when you enlist for the first time, you have to go through some training.

“There are many who fall out during basic training, and there are also those who show no talent, but they say that after a year, they will be weeded out to some extent.”

To me, who was discharged as an army sergeant due to the cursed conscription system, it was a familiar story, like the military life of a man from another unit.

“Anyway, you have to complete that one year of basic training before you can enter the Kingdom Knights as a new knight, but there is the final gateway there.”

Karin told me about the final gateway.

“It’s hunting trolls.”
“A troll?”
“Ohh?”

Just because we caught a troll the other day.

I continued walking and talking.

“It seems that they are taken to a large forest with a lot of secret swamps managed by the kingdom to finally select those who have completed a year of long training. They say there are a lot of trolls there.”

In other words, it is survival survival with a goal to achieve.

“Here, we make the trainees pair up in groups of three and put them into the forest.”
“If you hunt trolls there, do you pass?”
“That’s it. Cloudy.”

Cloudy is right.

“If you bring one troll’s head, it will pass. If you give up or cannot bring it, it will fail. Of course, even if you die, it will fail. I guess about half of the pass in this process.”

It is a fairly harsh condition.

“The ability to hunt trolls and survive in remote areas. And tracking skills, ability to complete missions, mental strength, cooperation, and so on.”
“It’s a bit cruel, but it’s a reasonable story. It’s also practical.”

Said Winia, nodding her head.

That’s what I think.

His name is a knight of the kingdom, so shouldn’t he do that?

“It’s an interesting story. Does that mean that Katt, who fought alone against a troll that requires three trained apprentice knights to hunt, is about as good as a rookie knight?”
“Karin said so.”

I spread my shoulders like a mountain.

Karin, who heard the story of my fight with the troll, expressed a similar sentiment to Cloudy.

I heard that this story was good.

Certainly, Kimkat was strong enough to take a blow against the troll and drive it away. I brought up this story purely to assert that I had grown up to be comparable to those new knights.

“It’s an interesting story. Where is the kingdom?”
“I didn’t ask that.”
“Why don’t you ask that?”

Because it’s not important

Anyway, we walked diligently, talking about this and that. Neither we, nor Cures with the backpack, did not say that they were having a hard time.

Rather, his steps were still light.

“Let’s fall sideways from here. I think we’ll have to ride the mountain once.”
“The good times are gone.”

After walking from early morning to afternoon, it was time to slowly change direction. So we went on and on along the mountain road.

ㅡQueek, Quack.

It was a little uneasy, but Cures rode the mountain road well.

There seems to be nothing to worry about. Even during the lunch break in the middle of the day, I unpacked my luggage, so I was able to pick up leaves and bushes on my own.

He poured water into his mouth her, so he calmly accepted it and drank it.

Sit well and take a rest.

“Is this bastard quite useful?”
“I see? I might use it in the future.”

Winia also seemed to like it quite a bit. In that way, she rode through the mountains, and in the late afternoon a valley appeared.

ㅡShuaaaaa.

Winia, who looked at the map, said she had to take the valley road from here and go all the way.

“But it’s going to be more difficult to move today. It’s getting late and Quirès needs to rest so he can move tomorrow. We’re camping here today. Bastard, let’s get that out.”
“I mean that.”

She immediately tied Quires to a nearby tree, unpacked her pack her, and took out the camping supplies she had purchased. What was taken out was a long stick, tent, and string.

It’s right next to the valley, so it’s perfect.

You can pitch a tent here.

Immediately, the three of them joined forces to pitch a tent. It was a primitive type of tent, which was just a tent made by tying a string to a stick and making a frame, but there was no problem for the three of them to go in and sleep.

I immediately made a bonfire.

Now, after eating dinner and washing properly in the valley, I should be able to stay awake and go to sleep. The sun seems to be going down soon.

“I think it would be okay to wash this? No one is watching, right?”

Winia said as she took off her coat. There seems to be no human being nearby, so I don’t want anyone to see it.

“Do you want to wash? I’ll watch over you. Wash with Cloudy.”
“That’s it, sister. Let’s wash together. Bastard, get out some underwear and a towel.”
“Gren.”

It’s just like camping.

That’s how I received the clothes from Cloudy and Winia and folded them.
