Chapter 54: Testing the Waters

Deyoulan asked.

Amelia nodded subconsciously and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"It can be seen at a glance." Deyoulan said and glanced at the girl. It was indeed a village girl and had no social experience. "Don't you know? As a client, it is best not to let adventurers know their identity, especially girls like you. Adventurers have good people and bad people. They may not have intended to accept the commission, but because you accept the commission, you must not go for the commission in the end, but have ulterior motives."

The client hides his identity and cannot completely avoid bad people. In any case, it can guarantee that the adventurer comes at the beginning to be entrusted, effectively reducing the probability of meeting bad people. Thinking of this, Deyoulan suddenly realized that, oh, it seems that he is that one.

"Why can't a girl like me do?" Amelia really doesn't understand. Although Uncle Martin said many things and various issues that need attention before leaving, she has never said this.

"A cute and beautiful girl can easily provoke some rogue adventurers." Deyoulan smiled. He looked at the girl's slightly red face and remembered something. This is not bragging. His face and smile are really lethal. He wished he could hit him, which is troublesome.

Scratching his hair, Amelia said, "I don't think it's cute."

Deyoulando looked at the girl and didn't care too much. Most of her impression of the girl was in the game. At this time, she saw that the girl's clothes were torn and sloppy, and her face and hair were stained. After all, there were zombies outside the village. Even if the zombies didn't like daytime activities, the number could not surround the village. It was still not easy to run out of the village. Wash it well, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and then put on cute clothes, with round lace collars, lantern sleeves and big fluffy skirts. From then on, the ugly duckling turned into white swans. Anyway, this is not the case now. Originally, if it was really cute and beautiful, there must be other adventurers taking the lead.

After coughing, Deyoulan turned to the commission posted on the notice board, which was obviously from the receptionist's writing process - those barbaric gnolls were attacking the village again, and they were going to kill innocent villagers. Any adventurer with a conscience would never let them do such a terrible thing. There is also a long paragraph detailing various intelligences, the number of gnolls, whether there are particularly powerful existences, such as giant gnolls or gnoll casters, how much is the reward, where it happens, etc.

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for an adventurer, although it didn't look strong. Compared to an adventurer, he was more like a nobleman, with only a long sword and a little girl. He walked around and watched the commission several times. Even if he was a village girl who didn't know anything, Amelia knew it must be interesting. She said, "This adventurer... sir, what do you think of the commission? Just destroy the gnolls and have a lot of rewards."

Deyoulan said funnyly: "The Gnolls are not weak goblins, and there are so many. The most important thing is that your village is too far from Rongen, and you can only walk on the mountain road. It takes at least half a day to walk through it, and one round trip is a day. In the end, your reward is not high, absolutely lower than the market price. I can't even think of how the Adventurers Guild would agree to your commission that completely disrupts the market." Although you will definitely accept the commission, you can't be so casual, at least you have to know how much you have paid.

"Can't help us?" Amelia said anxiously, "You are such powerful adventurers, we are weak villagers..."

"Help is a love part, not helping is a duty. Your behavior is a moral kidnapping. Do you know about moral kidnapping? Use superhuman standards to demand others. If you don't follow it, it is an immoral behavior." Deyoulan thought to himself, if a girl is really such an unreasonable person, should she give up on the other party?

In fact, Amelia didn't understand very much. She recognized a little word, read a little book, and that's all, but at least she understood a little. She muttered: "You adventurers charge so much."

Deyoulan said, "Are you tall? I don't think you are tall." He didn't say anything, it's because you are too poor.

It is easy for people with a way to make money, but it is too difficult for people with a way to make money. Some adventurers make money by hunting a giant beast, and most adventurers can't make a fraction of the money in their entire lives. As long as citizens living in big cities have a skill, regardless of chefs, tailors, and shoemakers, they can make more or less money. It is too difficult for farmers in small villages far away from cities to make money. They may not have seen a gold coin in their lifetime, and a silver coin is all savings.

Thinking of this, Deyoulan blinked his eyes. It was better now. In his parents' era, many people in the countryside worked hard to earn work points, and it was difficult for a family to have enough food. They studied for half a day and worked for half a day. Even now, some countries still couldn't have enough food.

"High, it's very high." Amelia said, "It's all right to just move your hands."

"It's obvious that you just need to move your hands casually. Just wave your weapon and recite a spell?" Deyoulan said, "It's easy to say, is it really that easy? In order to swing this weapon, do you know how long it takes for an adventurer to exercise? One year, two years, three years or even more than ten or twenty years, you sweat and practice swords every day on the training ground. Just recite a spell? Do you know how many books you have to read in order to learn this spell and use this spell proficiently? Do you know how thick it is to build all the books?"

Amelia lowered her head and paused: "Can you owe it first?"

"I owe it?" Deyoulan said, "I am forgiving that you may not be able to pay it back in your life as a farmer." It is not so easy to leave the small village and work outside. Even if you want to become an apprentice, people may not accept you. The easiest way is naturally to become an adventurer, otherwise why are there so many adventurers?

"It must be not me alone, there are so many people in the village." Amelia said, thinking that it was the whole village's idea to find adventurers, and she was just coming out to run errands.

The girl muttered that everyone in the whole village was poor, and now they were attacked by gnolls again... She looked at Deyoulan and suddenly said, "You are so annoying. If you don't accept the entrustment, just be nagging."

Nagging?

Deyoulan looked at Weine, and the little girl nodded seriously.

Deyoulan looked at Amelia again, and saw the girl lifting her chin and snorting: "Even if there are no adventurers, our village can do it."
