Chapter 54 – The Heavy Smoker and the Wheat Reaper (12)
Dugu dugu dugu! Braided!
Yellow!
Yellow-Monkey It was the color of the yellow race.
“Puff?! Big, cool cool!”
After confirming the color of the pressure stone, Fran stopped by. The receptionist who was about to explain opened his eyes wide.
“Hmm.”
Even then, I was perplexed inside.
According to the receptionist’s explanation, blue to blue is the level of the bronze class. Then, isn’t green~yellow the color of the silver class?
Probably right. Pressure stones cannot withstand pressure higher than red and break, so I heard that adventurers who have passed the gold class have a different measurement method.
But then it means that my physical ability in the beast return state is at the silver class level.
It’s fucking amazing. No, the power of Vector Man Bear can easily achieve that much, but it felt different when I experienced it like this.
This isn’t just bear-level strength. I haven’t tried it, but it might be able to smash rocks. Even if it didn’t work, the Bronze class subjugation request could be easily solved.
‘Still, it’s too early to be conceited.’
The silver class is enough to walk around in Sargadis with their shoulders covered. However, people who are stronger than me are widely spread around the world. Yesterday too, I was beaten to death by the elk, and I was almost beaten when the beast return was released.
Pan-.
At that time, I felt Fran’s gaze staring at me without saying a word. My heart was pounding and my mouth was twitching, but it was an atmosphere of restraint.
“Hehe.”
At that gaze, the forager Nord inside me grew stronger.
It’s a bit unsightly, but Nord’s opinion is that a girlfriend’s envious eyes give a man as much pleasure as a drug. Not my opinion anyway not
“What are you doing?”
The receptionist asked, blinking. It must have seemed strange that he suddenly smiled or laughed.
“Nope. It’s nothing. Rather, I want to ask about the promotion test.”
I cleared my throat and returned the topic. It would be difficult to ask for the pressure stone back now. Say something else to pass the time until the color of the stone returns.
“The content of the test is simple. In our guild, those who have completed 3 Bronze Class quests and succeeded 2 or more times are judged to be able to play an active role in a higher rank.”
No, it’s a three-year-old promotion match. It was a bit ridiculous, but it was a pretty good method.
“What if it fails?”
“You can try again after half a year. Oh, when the request is successful, of course, the request fee is paid.”
“Half a year…”
Fran muttered softly. Does it feel like it’s long? Even in Korea in the 21st century, except for big tests like the CSAT, most of them are once every few months, so it’s definitely a long time.
“It’s okay for the two of you to take the test together. There are quite a few adventurers who are uncomfortable with people taking the promotion test and organizing a party.”
“You’re covering people. I understand.”
I do think a little bit about the subject of the beutakki, but I can’t help but be careful because my life is at stake.
Bronze or higher has many subjugation quests. Even if Audumra focuses on searching for ruins, that doesn’t change.
“Do you want to take the promotion test right away?”
“Should I do it from today?”
“It is not. You are free to decide when to take the test. There are some people who have met the conditions for promotion but still remain without promotion.”
I sympathized with the receptionist’s words. When I do an adventure business, I sometimes realize that it is my fraction. It takes courage to risk your life to get more pay.
“Franc. Shall we put the promotion test on hold for now?”
“Yes. If you fail, you have to wait for half a year, so let’s prepare well and receive it later.
We agreed, so we decided to put the promotion test on hold.
In some cases, the day before the exam, I poured water and prayed for passing, but it was reckless to try and throw it away.
“Mr Receptionist. I’ll take the test later.”
“All right. Make up your mind and come to the reception to speak. At that time, I will give you a request selected by the guild.”
“All right. Have a good day today too.”
We said our goodbyes to the receptionist and went out. Scared to go outside, Fran looked at passers-by and clung to me.
“Nor! What did you just do?! Yellow?! It was yellow?!”
“Heh. I was surprised too. The strength to go up to Beast Return must be several times higher.”
From blue to yellow. It’s a 2nd class special.
If you use Beast Regression well, you will be able to protect Fran even if a silver class killer suddenly pops out one day. In terms of technique, I’m a bit uneasy, but it’s probably okay since the defense is also up.
“It’s normal to be at the upper level of bronze, so it’s worth taking the promotion test.”
“Starting from Bronze, the quest rewards increase! I can be a little less worried about lodging costs!”
Fran said with an expectant face. It’s an inn. Now that I think about it, I have to talk about that too.
“Franc. What about our inn? Would it be better for me to go to the Bainya family’s inn?”
Going back and forth between the two inns was a waste of time, so the two of us decided to combine them into one. The good news came out, so let’s decide now. I plan to stay at the inn again from today.
“Um… How is it The children of Mutarat are 2 kupper a night. How much does Norr stay?”
“3 Cooper. You can use the warehouse, there is a stable, and breakfast is free. The owner has a tough face, but the food is delicious. Fran, but it doesn’t measure up to what you cooked.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Fran smiled broadly and rested her chin on her chest as a habit.
“3 Cooper… I think it’s a bit expensive, but it’s safe because there’s a warehouse, right? There’s hardly any shoplifting.”
“It is.”
When items in the warehouse are stolen, the guards come out. That’s why inns with warehouses are safe. This is because it is a place where the guards usually pay attention.
Thanks to that, the clumsy petty thief is afraid of the inn. I don’t know of a proper professional thief, but why would they aim for a regular inn? I don’t know if a guy with something like an ancient artifact is staying.
“Hmm…”
“Are you worried? Then, let’s stay for a few days first. It’s morning time, so if you pay for the inn, you’ll get a free meal. You can move it if you haven’t stayed and it doesn’t fill your eyes.”
I was a bit sorry to go to another inn because I was secretly indebted to Dorca, but what can I do? A man is a creature that gives out his liver and gallbladder to the woman he falls in love with.
He will surely understand.
“Yes. I hope so. The room… Are you going to be in the same room?”
It was a look of hopeful anticipation. I affirmed, head banging my head until it made a buzzing sound.
“Of course. Oh, you’re not doing this because you have a dark mind? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just trying to save money.”
“Lol. If I’m wrong, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
“I’ll try to put up with the breast massage line. Oh, our inn is this way.”
After walking down the street for a while, I arrived at the familiar ‘Sam’s Shelter’.
─Mr. Mm. Mmr.
It is morning and there are many people. I’m a nocturnal person, so I’ve rarely been out in the morning, but I still felt like there were more people than usual.
‘Is it a peddler?’
It seemed that the people who had increased in number were like that. It’s harvest, so peddlers who came to cast legal rip-offs from citizens who will soon be able to afford money. Such people crowded the inn.
“Five. The baby is here.”
Dorca, who was serving rice, recognized me and started talking. I thought she was busy, but it seemed to be more free than I thought.
“What. The peddlers were sitting and killing time. I also wondered if the owner of the inn had changed while I hadn’t seen him for a while, so the business started going well.”
The people gathered didn’t order separately, so it seemed relaxed. Upon hearing my words, Dorca laughed as she hit her head with the serving tray.
“Haha. Originally, many guests visit our inn during this season. Maybe if you were a few days late, there wouldn’t be any room left.”
“Is it possible to kick out regular customers because they are blinded by money? We were treated like hogu at some point, but was our friendship like this?”
“I thought you were thinking about changing inns before you came here, too.”
“How the fuck did you know? Get out of my head!”
“Without going all the way to the head, I can tell just by looking at it, dude. Is the lady over there the new colleague you were talking about?”
Dorca looked at her francs. Frank flinched and bowed his head stiffly.
“This is Francesca Eitrinen! I look forward to!”
“Oh, you want to stay here? Welcome. I welcome anyone who pays well and doesn’t get into trouble.”
After replying casually, Dorca looked right at me.
I wondered why he reacted like that, but it seemed like he was deliberately trying to keep his words low because he didn’t want me to be jealous. I couldn’t believe Fran, but I decided to be considerate.
“As you said, I’m going to stay for a day or so. But I’m discussing things with Fran, so I might not stay at your inn from now on. Sorry.”
She said it with the intention of being insulted. Rather than bouncing around silently, doing this would be more comfortable for me and would not cause me to get upset.
“Know. You said you thought it would be like that from the beginning.”
However, Dorca replied with a smirk on her face.
“There are no guests who stay at the inn for life. Depending on the income, I move or find my own house. A first-class inn receives more guests than those who leave, and makes those who leave want to come back.”
“That must be difficult. I respect you.”
“It’s something you can’t do unless you enjoy it.”
Is it professionalism as an innkeeper? Dorca shrugs her shoulders after making her professional remarks.
“Your colleague doesn’t have any luggage, so did you come here right away without stopping by the inn where you were staying?”
“Uh. Not yet. Stay overnight and decide.”
“Yes. The reason you asked about the children of Mutarat the other day was probably because that lady stayed there, right?”
“That’s the correct answer, but I remembered it well.”
“My stupid head got better because I kept using it.”
Dorca pointed to her head and said. Her memory seems to have improved thanks to the inn job where she had to memorize and record things every day.
But did you still remember what I asked as if you were passing by? This kid probably doesn’t have a better memory than me.
“Well, decide if you want to continue staying at our inn after discussing with your colleagues. I won’t force you to hold on.”
“I think so. Oh, by the way, Dorca. Can two people stay in one room at your inn?”
Can two people stay in a room for 3 coopers per night? If that were the case, the young children would be living in a room-sharing inn.
At my words, Dorca turned the tray around and said,
“There is a double room for 5 coopers per night, so stay there. Breakfast is for two, but the rest of the service is the same.”
Was there a double room here? There must have been a lot of customers traveling in groups of several, so it was understandable.
Anyway, 5 coopers. That’s a savings of just 1 copper per day. Some people may think that it is better to just pay 1 copper and use each room.
“The price is ambiguous. Is the room spacious?”
“Wide or narrow is a personal opinion. See it with your own eyes and decide.”
Whiik-
Dorca takes the key out of her pocket and throws it. I snatched it easily and grinned.
“Thank you. And I’m going to get breakfast today, so please prepare it in advance.”
“Yes. What about the luggage I left in the warehouse?”
“No. I’m sorry to tell you, but I’m still not sure if I’ll stay.”
“Quack. Half of the bastards who said that come back here.”
Look at the pup’s pride. I giggled, waved my hand at Dorca, and went upstairs with Fran.
“I think all the innkeepers are friendly.”
Fran, who came up to the second floor, said. I said, checking the room number written on the key.
“Isn’t it the opposite? People who are not friendly are ruined long ago and can’t be seen.”
“Oh… It is a sad reality.”
“Hehe. Sargadis isn’t even a rural town. Any inn must have something to brag about in a competition for guests. Either the price or the service.”
I walked in looking for a room. Like a double room for 5 coopers, the overall size and interior were better than single rooms. There was only one bed, though.
“Franc. How is it? Do you like it?”
“Wait a minute.”
Fran, who meticulously checked the condition of the bed, table, and curtains in the room, said with satisfaction after a while.
“It’s a nice room. 5 Cooper won’t be a waste.”
“If you like it, there is nothing better. Let’s stay for a day and decide. Try eating too.”
“Yes. Let’s just drop the bag and go.”
We came back to the first floor, ate a free meal, and slept in the same bed for the night.
And since Fran was satisfied, she decided to stay here in the future.
“Haha. Didn’t I say you’d like me?”
“I have nothing to say.”
I accepted Dorca’s words and paid the inn fee.
By following Gentrick’s advice and paying for the inn every morning.
