“Subaru (su)
a[]
u)Sir, it is really a pleasure to see you again."
After entering Mayor Andrew's house, a familiar voice welcomed Aoi's arrival. However, when he heard the other party say the name that made Aoi feel very depressed in a respectful tone, Aoi still smiled bitterly.
"Hello, Carl (ca
l) Mr. Butler.”
Unexpectedly, the man who welcomed Adventurer Aoi was indeed the housekeeper of Mayor Andrew, Mr. Carl. This old man who meticulously claded his silver hair and silver beard has served the house for three generations. Moreover, although he seems to be very old, he is also the swordsman instructor during the training of Heergen's recruits. Almost all the adventurers who were "born" here in Heergen have been trained by this old man. However, in Aoi, who has also experienced that training, this "novice tutorial" by Carl allows those who want to be adventurers to have it here.
The fundamental reason for survival in the world - before passing the assessment of Carl Butler, players who chose the adventurer path cannot leave Heergen, which reduces a lot of meaningless casualties. Of course, players who have received training need to choose to be Heergen's militia for three months of voluntary service, or complete ten tasks of destroying bandits or wolves for Heergen free of charge within half a year. If they cannot do it, they will be wanted. Then the guards from all over the country will arrest you. After being locked in prison for a few days, they can only act as a "civilian" within the security scope that each lord can directly govern.
"Grandpa Butler, I've brought my elder brother back!"
“Good done, Amy.”
Amy is the granddaughter of Mr. Carl's housekeeper. It seems that when Amy grows up, she will continue her duty as Mayor Helgen's housekeeper.
"There are some things in the kitchen that need your help, come over quickly, Amy." After touching Little Amy's head with a kind smile, Mr. Carl said.
"Okay!" Little Amy nodded, then ran towards the kitchen. However, after only a few steps, someone turned around and said to Aoi, "Big Brother, see you later! You still owe me many stories!"
After saying that, little Amy quickly ran away before Mr. Carl's housekeeper preached.
"It makes you laugh, Mr. Subaru." Mr. Carl said while inviting Aoi to sit down, "Amy has a good learning ability, but she is still too unstable. How can I feel at ease to hand over the butler's work to her?"
"Amy is just a child. Isn't it good to be more lively?" Aoi said, "And, she should have done everything she does well? I believe that little Amy will definitely be better than her."
"It's really a praising, Mr. Subaru," said Mr. Carl, "No more about these trivial matters. By the way, this is your reward for destroying that bandits this time."
"Has anyone already been handed over the mission? Mr. Carl's Butler!" When he saw Mr. Carl's Butler took out a small leather bag containing silver coins, Aoi seemed a little excited, "Who is that person? Is it a girl?"
"Huh?" Seeing Aoi's reaction, Butler Carl showed a look of surprise, "From the height and voice, it must be a girl. Could it be...she..."
Speaking of this, Butler Carl's expression became a little solemn. After all, sneak attacking other adventurers is not a sin that can be easily forgiven. It seems that Butler Carl is suspected that the girl who came to receive the reward attacked Aoi and seized the credit that did not belong to her.
"No, not what you thought, Mr. Carl," Aoi explained quickly.
"It turns out that I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed." Butler Carl said, "The girl's voice sounded too young, and she didn't even feel much older than Amy. And... her height seemed to be a little shorter than Amy. So when she took out the head of the bandit leader, I didn't believe it was her. Can you tell me what happened? Mr. Subaru. The girl said very little, only that she had done her part when destroying the bandit leader. And Mr. Subaru, you are temporarily treated in Xueman City because of your injury. Moreover, after giving her the bonus, almost in a blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the town."
"Actually, I was saved by that girl." Aoi said.
"Save?"
"That's right, it's not that I saved her, but that she saved me." Aoi continued, "A few more successes, I underestimated the enemy... I didn't even think about why the bandit group never left a living mouth and why it suddenly grew stronger again."
"Is there a reason, indeed?" asked the housekeeper Carl. "The girl said nothing. Mr. Subaru, can you tell me?"
"Scroll. Magic Scroll." Aoi said, "And, I looked it up a little in the past few days in Xueman City. The "Ice Trap" magic at that time was a very powerful magic, so relatively speaking, the probability of being made into a magic scroll should be very small. In short, the reason why the bandit group would keep killing people is probably to cover up the fact that they have a magic scroll."
"'Ice Trap'? A name I haven't heard of... and, the bandits with magic scrolls? This is so abnormal..." Uncle Carl frowned and said, "Mr. Subaru, do you have more details?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Carl." Kui spread her hands and said she could do nothing.
"is that so……"
"Mr. Carl, I have a question, too." Aoi asked, "Does she have any characteristics about that girl? I always knew that she saved me, but she didn't even have the chance to say thank you."
"She has been here for a short time and has always been wearing a cloak..." said Carl Butler, "As for appearance, I can only say that I have never seen it at all."
"Is that true..." Aoi said.
"However, what do you mean by the bow she was carrying?" Mr. Carl continued, "It's nothing to put on ordinary soldiers, but such a short girl carries a long bow that is longer than her height. I doubted at first whether she could pull the bow away intact."
"Longbow..." Aoi wrote down the words of Butler Carl, "Thank you, Mr. Butler Carl."
"Mr. Subaru, you have done so much for Helgen, but I have only done such a small thing, which is really not worth mentioning." said Mr. Karl, "And, I am really sorry, there is another thing that needs to be asked, Mr. Subaru."
"Is it about that bandit group?"
"Yes." Butler Carl nodded.
"I understand. I will find out why that bandit group had such a powerful magic scroll."
"That's really a trouble for you, Mr. Subaru." Butler Carl stood up and gave a big gift to Aoi, and continued, "The people of Helgen are grateful for your contribution."
