Being an adventurer is not as easy as imagined.

The constant danger to one's life is one thing.

How to survive well is the most important issue.

A week after leaving home, Narido Hawk discovered that adventurers were not as beautiful as he imagined.

Not only did he go there, there were well-paying tasks waiting for him to take on.

Even within the Kingdom of Limodingham, the Adventurer's Guild's examination and mission issuing institutions are only found in large cities.

In addition, the political situation of the Kingdom of Limodingham is relatively stable and there are not many thieves gangs in the country. It is also difficult to find some low-paying caravan escort missions.

So these days, Narido has not received a task, and no one has hired him.

But when he goes out, he needs to eat, stay, feed his horses, maintain his equipment, and take hot baths... all of which cost money.

As an adult warrior, Narido's appetite is three times that of an ordinary person. The strong war horse eats more, and does not eat low-quality hay. It must add beans, otherwise it will be unable to travel.

There is also a hot bath, which is quite a luxury in this era and the cost is not small... But Nariduo has a mysophobia and doesn't like the smell of sweat, so he has to take a bath every day... When he was at home, his mother and The maid will heat him a bucket of hot water at the right temperature.

But today, after checking into a cheap inn, for the first time, Narido gave up taking a bath.

I didn’t even have a full dinner, so I was lying on the bed, looking at the stars in the sky, and starting to feel a little homesick.

He has no money.

Yesterday when he was taking a bath in the bathhouse, his money bag was stolen. The more than 30 double-column gold coins and more than 100 sacred deer silver coins left in it were all stolen... This money should have been enough for him to rush to the capital in style. , and then obtain an Adventurer Badge in the Adventurer Guild.

"What should I do? Grandpa, what should I do?"

After searching for the whole day, he couldn't find the thief. When he went to the bathhouse to make a claim, the owner called out thugs and refused to compensate him. Nalido, who had been hungry all day without money, felt at a loss.

"Go to the pawn shop and pawn the leather armor you're wearing. You should be able to exchange it for dozens of silver coins."

Zhou Ming said that in fact, he had already reminded Naliduo that the bathhouse was the place most frequented by thieves and told him not to take a bath every day, but...

If you go out to make a living, you have to pay some tuition fees.

After all, the outside world is not my hometown.

25 sacred deer silver coins.

After some bargaining, the leather armor, which was well-made and had good defense and was worth at least 3 gold coins (1 gold coin = 100 silver coins), was pawned for less than one-tenth of its own value... This small town , there is only one pawn shop.

This little money was only enough for Narido and War Horse to find a good hotel to stay for one night after they had a good meal.

So on this unlucky day, in this town, Narido felt that everyone looked at him with gloating eyes.

He had a deep dislike for everyone.

I also learned to save money for the first time, trying to use the few silver coins I had left to spend two more days.

So, he started to miss home.

But the old man comforted him and gave him an idea. He asked him to use the remaining money to buy some paper (there is paper in this world), and then ask if anyone in this town wants to write. As for letters, Narido can read and write, and he can provide letter-writing and letter-delivery services.

"Write letters? Can you make money by writing letters?" Narido asked.

"Yes, and someone will definitely ask you to write."

Zhou Mingdao said that the illiteracy rate in this world is extremely high. Few people at the bottom can read, but the handicraft industry is quite developed. There are many workshops and hired workers in big cities. These people cannot go back home twice a year. They usually communicate with Family members communicate by sending messages through messengers.

Narido provides letter-writing services. As long as the price is not very high, it also provides letter-reading services after it is delivered to the recipient. This can be said to be quite considerate, and the service level is better than those messages that are sent to say hello but are easily forgotten. A lot.

As for the price, after excluding the cost of paper and ink, Nari earns 5 silver coins for one more letter.

"Is this really okay?"

Naliduo was doubtful and followed the plan provided by Zhou Ming. He started shouting in the town early in the morning. After a while, there was a middle-aged woman who was willing to pay him to send a letter to her son who was working in the city.

Narita was overjoyed and wrote a letter with beautiful handwriting based on the middle-aged woman's narration on the spot, which attracted many onlookers to exclaim.

"This adventurer can actually read?"

"The writing is so beautiful."

"I'll write one too, help me write one too!"

The demand was overwhelming. In one morning, Narido wrote more than 20 letters to people and earned hundreds of silver coins.

There was even a shop owner who wanted to hire him as a bookkeeper in his shop. While helping him keep accounts, he would teach his son how to read for a monthly salary of 5 gold coins, which again caused a lot of exclamation!

5 gold coins, including food and accommodation, is really a lot of treatment.

Of course, Narido refused. His ambition was not to be a bookkeeper, but to be a great adventurer!

The more than 100 silver coins he earned by writing letters were enough for him to rush to the next city.

Narido, who had made some money for the first time, was also very excited and full of confidence.

He also curiously asked: "Grandpa, why can I make so much money by writing letters and delivering letters for others, but I can't make money by doing other jobs?"

"Of course, there are too many people in this world who are good at boxing and kicking, so the value of knowledge is naturally higher."

"However, you still don't make much money by helping people write and deliver letters. If you want to get the adventurer badge, you have to prepare a sum of money... Sell your war horse then. You definitely don't want to keep giving it to others. write a letter."

"Selling the horse? This..."

Isn't this too inconvenient?

"Adventurers are not knights. Most adventurers don't need horses. Of course, if you must use them, Grandpa will help you find a way."

"Okay~"

Narido nodded, and then began to ask the old man for advice about cultivation.

Zhou Ming asked the system to simulate his voice and answer questions on his behalf.

…

A month later.

Narido, who was dusty with travel and wore a short beard, followed a caravan and arrived at the royal capital of Dekey City.

Narido was amazed by the city with a population of nearly 300,000.

The prosperity of the royal capital opened his eyes.

After completing the message delivery task and selling the war horse he was riding on, he had more than 50 gold coins in his hands.

This was enough for him to go to the Adventurer's Guild, obtain a professional badge, and become a professional adventurer.

In the evaluation of strength, Narido's strength was recognized as an "intermediate swordsman"... During this period, he made rapid progress.

Although there are many "intermediate swordsmen" all over the street, Narido is less than 18 years old, which makes people very optimistic about his future. Therefore, after getting the adventurer badge, many adventurer unions asked him to An olive branch was extended to him, and he was quite moved by the conditions offered by some unions.

After consulting the old man's ideas, Narido joined a union called "Red Dragon's Horn".

And put forward his request: he will not stay in this union forever, at most three to five years, and he wants to venture further afield.

The president of the "Red Dragon's Corner" union agreed and said he would train him well.

Zhou Ming also felt that joining a good union would be more helpful than being a lone ranger... The world is dangerous, and Narido, who is just starting out, needs some veterans to guide him before he can fly high on his own.

In this way, after joining the "Red Dragon's Horn" guild, Narido officially entered the role of "adventurer" and began his adventure.

…

Zhou Ming was slightly relieved and no longer paid too much attention to Narido's situation.

His main line has to be officially launched.
