It rained at night, and the air was filled with a faint smell of earth. The path to Melode was also covered with dirty mud and water.
Nora walked ahead barefoot, quietly observing her surroundings.
From the moment he left the house until now, this guy looked quiet and obedient on the surface, but in fact, he was only thinking about escaping.
Reiner couldn't help but speak out in disbelief, "I advise you not to even think about running away. Once you leave the city, the forest is full of monsters, and there are even occasional bandits blocking the road. It's okay to be eaten by monsters, but if you get caught by bandits, you'll be in danger of death."
Nora looked back at Reiner, lowered her head and said cunningly: "I didn't want to run away..."
(How does he know what I’m thinking?)
Reiner heard Nora's bouts of speechlessness.
This guy was looking around like a thief the whole time, and anyone with eyes could tell that she wanted to escape.
But even if she really escaped, Reiner only needed to snap his fingers and she would come back obediently, after all, the seal was still on her body.
After walking for almost an hour, Reiner arrived at the city of Melode.
He led Nora to the corner of the city and stopped in front of a tower that looked dilapidated, old and somewhat eerie.
This is the Adventurer's Guild of Merode.
He walked in as usual. It was bustling with people, adventurers and clients of different identities and classes.
There are despicable hooligans, cunning merchants, honest farmers, bounty hunters, mages, knights, nobles, robbers, prostitutes...
Basically, you can meet anyone you can think of here.
(Many people...)
Nora followed Reiner closely. She didn't like crowded places.
A few hooligans saw Nora and whistled at her.
Nora bared her teeth without any hesitation.
Reiner turned around and said, "Ignore them and treat them as fools. It's no big deal to make enemies with them.
But if someone makes a move on you, you can teach them a lesson."
The people in this world are tough and there are many scum and beasts.
When Reiner first crossed over, he was just a naive and stupid college student. He had no idea of the cruelty of this world. Because of this, he was cheated several times, but he didn't lose his life.
Nora ignored the hooligans and continued to follow Reiner with her head down.
At this moment, Reiner's peripheral vision caught sight of a girl sitting in the corner, and their eyes met.
But he didn't think much about it. After all, his skin color was different from these people, and it was normal for him to attract attention when walking on the street.
He squeezed into the crowd with Nora and accepted a commission to clean up slime from the counter lady.
Forty slimes, the commission's reward was one silver coin, and the mission location was not far from the small village where he lived.
After coming out of the Adventurer's Guild, Nora breathed a sigh of relief.
(It’s finally out.)
Reiner looked her up and down, finally his eyes fixed on her dirty feet.
Nora is still missing a pair of shoes.
Reiner was about to develop an obsessive-compulsive disorder from always seeing her stepping around barefoot in dirty puddles, so he took Nora to a shoe store in the city center to pick out shoes.
After reluctantly measuring Nora's feet, the shoemaker recommended several common pairs of shoes.
But most of these styles are ugly.
After choosing for a long time, Reiner finally saw a pair of short boots that suited his aesthetic taste.
After asking about the price and finding out that the pair of shoes cost 15 silver coins, he decisively gave up.
I am so poor now that even if I want to buy something, I have to wait until later.
The most urgent thing is to arrange a set of equipment for Nora.
With this idea in mind, he bought a pair of cheap straw sandals for Nora, spending a total of 20 copper coins.
