Chapter 011 Western Fantasy Town 2
This is a magical continent where many races live together. There are four major races living here: humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and there is also a group of unintelligent magical beasts.
Warcraft has various shapes, reproduces rapidly, and has great destructive power.
Fifty years ago, the entire continent experienced a devastating wave of monsters. The entire continent suffered heavy casualties and development regressed by three hundred years.
During the past ten years, except for the human race, which reproduced the fastest, the other ethnic groups were almost extinct. In order to survive and reproduce, the three major ethnic groups began to intermarry with the human race, giving birth to generations of mixed-race children, and the relationship between the four major races became increasingly close.
Harold is the descendant of humans and wolf-like orcs. He has a strong physique and is the strongest fighter in the entire adventurer team.
Xie Yunsui glanced at Harold who was leading the way ahead, and saw that he was shaking his wolf tail unconsciously as he listened to everyone's flattery. Although he tried hard to control himself, a small part of his tail was still sticking up.
While they were chatting and joking with each other, Xie Yunsui also learned about their levels.
Harold was undoubtedly the highest-level of them all, at level 32. Next was Sally, the swordsman carrying a greatsword, at level 30. Then came Matthew, the oldest, already at level 28, the same level as Andrew, who was twenty years younger. The others were all around level 21, with the youngest, 13-year-old Locke, only at level 15.
What a strange world, you actually have to level up by killing monsters.
Xie Yunsui complained in his heart, and then suddenly thought, if these people can see through each other's levels, then can they also see through themselves... ?
"Sir Ciel's rank should be very high, right?"
Harold scratched his hair and smiled innocently: "Even I can't see through Sir Charles's level."
A very important point in level setting is that you cannot see through those who are higher than you.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Is it possible that he really has no level?
Xie Yunsui sighed helplessly, one lie always needs other lies to cover it up.
For the sake of convenience, I did not deny that I was a pharmacist before. Now, of course, it is not easy to say that I have no level. After all, how can a normal pharmacist not even have level 1?
Xie Yunsui settled for the next best thing: "Call me Charles. I don't really like the title of sir."
On the way, they asked him his name, and Xie Yunsui said his surname was Xie. Before he could say the word Yunsui, Locke shouted "Lord Charles".
Xie Yunsui said his full name was Xie Yunsui, not Xia Er. However, none of the people could pronounce his full name, saying it was too difficult to pronounce. He could listen to and speak their language, but he couldn't get them to speak his own language.
The word "Xie" sounds similar to "Ciel", so these people have always called him Lord Ciel.
Charles is Charles, it's just a name.
When the moon rose above the forest, Xie Yunsui finally saw a village.
The small yellowish floor lamp pointed the way, and everyone behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to find the Flame Winged Beast, they wandered in the forest for two days, but they couldn't figure out the route to leave, so they had to take a detour.
Fortunately, I was able to come out safely.
Matthew said, "This is Ika Village near Villansted. We can rest in the village inn tonight and go to town tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Only the Adventurer's Guild in town will accept Flame Winged Beasts," Sally added.
Xie Yunsui nodded: "Okay."
Just don't sleep in the wild.
"Please follow me, Lord Ciel. I know a shortcut that will allow us to enter the village earlier."
13-year-old Locke led the way, and everyone followed closely behind.
This village doesn't look big. There is only one hotel in the whole village, but it is a normal two-story residence that is used as a hotel.
Accommodation is provided on the second floor, and there are dining tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor. A plump lady runs the business and provides meals.
"Oh wow, so many people." It was the first time Anita saw so many adventurers coming together. She said embarrassedly, "There are only four rooms on the second floor. Adventurers, maybe there are people in the village who have a vacant room that can be vacated."
Matthew immediately said, "No, we can just squeeze in."
He turned around and explained to Xie Yunsui, "People rarely stay in the village. They usually go to the town, where they can get rid of the monsters as soon as possible."
Unless there are special circumstances, everyone would rather walk another hour to reach the nearest town of Leize.
There is not much development in the village, and there is not even a pharmacy. Adventurers naturally have some injuries after returning from hunting. The sooner they are treated, the better. Of course, the first choice is to go to the small town.
Others who hunt monsters also want to sell them quickly while they are still fresh. Over time, the energy in the monsters' bodies will dissipate and their value will be greatly reduced.
Xie Yunsui nodded: "I need a separate room, you can divide the others among yourselves."
"Lord Ciel, I'd like to ask half of the team to go to the town first. The sooner we sell the monsters, the more valuable they are."
If they leave now, they can catch the earliest wave of sales tomorrow morning.
Xie Yunsui said, "Do whatever you want. I'll be here for the next few days."
Sally breathed a sigh of relief and readily paid for the accommodation, including Xie Yunsui's.
A silver coin.
Xie Yunsui glanced over and memorized the appearance of the silver coin.
The remaining eight people were divided into two groups. Sally, Harold, Andrew, and Locke went to the town, while the rest stayed and took only one room, preparing to sleep on the floor together.
Andrew shouted, "Prepare some food for us. I'm starving. If I don't eat, I'm going to faint from hunger!"
They went to Villansted with only some dry bread, which they had almost eaten.
Anita woke up her daughter and together they prepared a midnight snack for the adventurers.
The food here is not that rich. Anita just cooked a pot of vegetable soup for everyone and served it with re-baked dry bread.
Xie Yunsui followed the crowd and tasted it. The toasted dry bread was crispy, but very dry. No wonder it was served with vegetable soup. However, the vegetable soup looked a bit strange. He scooped up a large piece of onion and didn't understand why the onion was in the vegetable soup.
The soup also contains chopped carrots, potatoes, lettuce, and cabbage, making it a hodgepodge.
The taste was strange, and Xie Yunsui ate slowly.
The four people who had to travel at night ate quickly, finishing a small basket of dry bread and two large bowls of vegetable soup. After eating, they wiped their mouths, picked up the Flame Winged Beast and left.
Xie Yunsui forced himself to finish his meal, trying not to leave any leftovers, and then said goodbye and went upstairs.
This hotel is actually a renovated ordinary house. In order to accommodate four rooms, the interior space of each room is not large.
Charles looked at the furnishings in the room. There was only a bed, a small cabinet at the head of the bed, and a small movable warm yellow lamp hanging at the door.
The innkeeper's daughter, Pauline, escorted him upstairs and said crisply, "Good night, sir."
He looks only seven or eight years old, but he is very experienced in entertaining guests.
Xie Yunsui withdrew his gaze and closed the door.
After a while, he went downstairs again to find Anita. The adventurers had all returned to their rooms, and it was very quiet downstairs.
A white-haired old man stood in front of Anita and seemed to be saying something.
Hearing the noise of someone coming down the stairs, Anita looked over and introduced with a smile, "This is the village chief Agnes. She heard the adventurers coming and came to see if she needs any help."
Agnes not only had very white hair, but also a snow-white beard. She was in good spirits: "Hello, adventurer."
Xie Yunsui smiled in response, then tentatively asked, "Is there anyone selling clothes in the village? My clothes are a little dirty, and I want to change."
Anita shook her head. “There’s no tailor or tailor shop in the village. You have to go to the town to buy it.”
Agnes smiled brightly and said, "If you don't mind, I can help you borrow a set of clothes from the villagers."
"I don't mind." Xie Yunsui said immediately.
Agnes looked Xie Yunsui up and down, thinking, "But there aren't many people in the village as tall as Sir Charles. Perhaps only Theodore can match that. Theodore is my grandson, and he's barely as tall as Sir Charles."
Xie Yunsui was very grateful, and having a normal set of clothes was enough.
After the clothes were delivered, Xie Yunsui went to his personal lounge in the shop to take a shower. The rest space did not take much effort to renovate. It currently looked like a one-bedroom apartment with a soft big bed, a comfortable bathroom and shower room.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Xie Yunsui took a big apple to eat, opened the window on the third floor, and enjoyed the gentle breeze.
The little bee buzzed against the headboard and said, "Shopkeeper, today's transaction was not conducted in the store, so it does not count as a transaction value."
In fact, Xie Yunsui didn't earn a single cent from today's transaction.
Xie Yunsui said, "No rush. We need to do some research before deciding what kind of store to open."
Fortunately, the flaming winged beast that came to his door was worth some money, which brought Xie Yunsui his first pot of gold. Otherwise, he would have to make money first before he would be "qualified" to open a store.
The next day, Xie Yunsui slept until dawn.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that the house was sparkling clean. Youyou was still fighting with a burnt mark on the ground, wiping it hard with a rag.
Xie Yunsui called Youyou over, patted its big head, and said, "Go back. Don't wipe that spot anymore."
Besides the owner, only Little Bee had the right to open and close the Wanjie Shop. It was obvious that Little Bee had asked Youyou to clean the shop. After Youyou entered the shop, Xie Yunsui told Little Bee, "I'm just staying here temporarily. You don't need to clean it too thoroughly."
For example, the charred floor on the ground. If Xie Yunsui hadn't stopped Youyou, a hole would have been left in the floor.
Xie Yunsui simply washed up and went downstairs.
In the restaurant on the first floor, the four remaining adventurers had just finished their breakfast, which was toast and cheese spread provided by Anita.
After having enough food and drink and not having to worry about making a living, a few people wanted to chat.
"That Sir Ciel must be the son of a very powerful family. He's already a senior pharmacist at such a young age."
"Why would a pharmacist from a big family show up in Villanstai? It's so dangerous here."
"To collect rare herbs?"
"The pharmacists of the big families only need to post the gathering quests with the Adventurer's Guild and won't come in person."
"It should be a very valuable herb."
"Villanstai is famous for its magical beasts. They only have common herbs. I haven't heard of any rare herbs."
"Aren't many magical beasts also capable of making medicine? Bones, eyes, and so on."
"That makes sense..."
The few of them were silent for a while, and they all figured out the reason why Xie Yunsui appeared in Vilanste.
Then they gathered together and talked in a low voice.
"Lord Ciel seems very gentle. If I could get in touch with him, I might be able to buy medicine cheaply from him in the future."
"Harold took Sir Charles' medicine and recovered immediately. He is indeed a senior pharmacist."
"Did you see Lord Ciel's brooch? The little bee."
"The one on the shoulder? I'm curious why the brooch is placed on the shoulder."
"This is Lord Ciel's unique preference. The silver bee brooch is very delicately crafted. My uncle said that such silver jewelry can only be bought in the capital, and it is not something that can be afforded by money."
"Yeah, that bee looks just like the real thing. It's so small. The person who made it must be a master."
…
After Xie Yunsui went downstairs, he saw that the eyes of several people were very enthusiastic, as if they were looking at moving gold.
He paused and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Matthew slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to prepare breakfast for Lord Charles. I'll ask Mrs. Anita to prepare another one. Her toast tastes pretty good."
Xie Yunsui hurriedly stopped him: "No, I've already eaten."
Thinking of the meal last night, Xie Yunsui couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.
