rat's nest

"Ten gold coins, maybe ten gold coins is enough!"

Looking at the two people gearing up, Mars broke out in a cold sweat, but still wanted to make another fortune.

"Yo? The price has been reduced? How about this, we break one of your legs and give you fifty gold coins."

The irritable girl said as she picked up the staff in her hand and kept tapping it on the other palm.

Wait, that staff looks pretty high-end, and this woman actually wants to use it as a club?

"Five...five gold coins..."

"Very good, let's start the fight."

"Wait, wait, wait! Aren't you afraid of beating me to death? Then you won't be able to find the life you want!" Mars stepped back, ran out of the gap and came to the street.

"Ellie."

"Whoa!" Before Mars could react, he was dragged back into the gap by a shadow, and was held up against the wall by his collar.

"We are just looking for you for fun, we don't care if there is any work to do." The arrogant woman hit Mars on the head with her staff, her tone full of indifference.

This swordsman is so strong! It seems that these two people are not so easy to deal with... But it is definitely true that they are the eldest ladies of a wealthy family who came out to have fun, but if they are from a famous family, it will not be so easy to eat. Ma

Si thought about it in his mind and decided to give these two pieces of fat to the most capable boss in the city.

"I know, I know! You two ladies have something to say!"

"Ha, now you know how to talk properly? Ellie, let him go."

As soon as the swordsman let go, Mars landed on his feet again.

"If you want to take on the dirtiest job, you two ladies can go to the Burping Snow Rat and find a man named 'Beard'." Mars didn't want to get entangled with these two lunatics anymore and got to the point directly.

"Where is the 'burping snow rat'? Is it a tavern? What does the beard look like? Is it male or female? How old is it? What are its characteristics? How can we find it after we get there? Can you take us there?"

Are you mistaken! How can anyone ask so clearly! Find it yourself! I am a sewer rat, not an adventurer instructor!

Although Mars was thinking this in his heart, he still dared not say anything. He could only continue to smile: "You two ladies, I only know this much, and I don't know the specific situation! You two ladies are still..."

"Ellie, draw the sword."

"Sister, that's a sword..."

"If I ask you to pull out the sword, pull it out! Even if I ask you to pull out your head, you will pull it out for me!"

"yes……"

"Wait! I'll take you there right now!" After hearing the terrifying conversation between the two, Mars couldn't bear it anymore. His head might be pulled off by the swordsman, and his life couldn't end like this.

!

"You should have been obedient a long time ago, but you wasted so much time! Okay, hurry up and lead the way!" The arrogant woman pointed at Mars, then stepped out of the way.



Mars felt that today was very unlucky: first he was woken up from his dream, and then he was entangled by two lunatics. Although he got five gold coins as opening fee, the further blackmail plan was forcibly destroyed. It didn't matter, and now he actually

You have to lead them personally. This is not the job of a sewer rat at all, okay? I do this job basically to hide in the city, but now I have to walk with two guys who are dressed in super conspicuous clothes.

Thinking of this, Mars looked back and found that there was no one behind him.

What's going on?

"Bang!" Mars' head was hit by a small stone. Looking along the direction of the attack, he found that the two crazy women were keeping a considerable distance from him and were waving desperately to let him continue walking.

Although he didn't know what the two of them were thinking, it was great not to be walking with him. Mars bowed and continued to walk forward like a beggar.

"Burping Snow Rat" is not in the area where adventurers gather. It is a tavern that serves locals, especially gangsters. Several people came to the civilian area in the west of the city and passed through the winding alleys. The surrounding environment was also

It started to get dirty.

This is the outer city where the City of One Man was established early. Although it was later included in the wall, no one managed it. Unlike the spacious and clean central city, adventurers and businessmen will not come here, except for local residents with meager incomes.

, there is basically no foreign population here.

After turning a corner, Mars stopped. Exiting this alley and walking a little further along the mainland outside was the "Hiccup Snow Rat". Mars really didn't want to bring two troublemakers to trouble himself.

As if she had discovered something unusual about Mars, the arrogant woman looked around and found no one, and quickly followed her with the swordsman.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Miss, the Burping Snow Rat will be here soon. Go out and turn right on the main road and walk a little further. I really can't take you to find someone directly. In our business, we rely on hiding in the dark to survive. That's it.

Going in so arrogantly means ruining my life! Generally speaking, someone introduces me to this place. I provide information for you to find on your own. I will not get involved in any trouble. If you insist on letting me take you,

Going in would be equivalent to telling others that my relationship with you two is unusual. If you two... cause anything, I won't be able to get rid of the responsibility!"

Mars explained passionately, hoping that the two crazy women would let him go, and of course, he hoped they wouldn't start beating people up if they disagreed.

Seemingly moved by Mars' sincerity, the arrogant woman was silent for a moment, then took out ten gold coins and handed them to Mars.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

"How do I find that beard?"

"Ah! Go into the tavern and go to the bartender and say, 'I want a glass of ale with some salt and no violets,' and he will take you to find it."

"It's so troublesome...I know! Take it, it will be considered as your traveling expenses."

"Thank you very much!" Mas quickly took the money and put it away, then bowed repeatedly.

"Ellie, let's go." The arrogant woman waved her hand and led the swordsman out of the alley.

Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Mars felt very complicated. Although it felt a little strange, Mars had not seen people like them for many years.

Oh, it's not that there are few good people in this world, but that most of these people are adventurers and have nothing to do with me.

After struggling in his mind for a moment, Mars decided to take a risk. If he succeeded, he would be able to change his life, and he might even get out of this industry.

He left quickly along the alley and disappeared behind a corner filled with debris in the blink of an eye.

The two eldest ladies, who seemed to have no strength, were walking with their heads raised and looking at the signs on the roadside, completely unaware that Mars' action would change their fate.

"What are these signs? Why don't they even have any words on them?"

"Sister...many civilians are illiterate. They can't understand when writing..."

"Huh? We are about to have an industrial revolution, but there is still no universal education? Is the life of ordinary people so difficult?"

"Ah? Sister Amy, what do you mean by the industrial revolution?"

"Oh, that's a concept I invented myself. Just forget it if you don't understand it!"

"That's it...Hey sister, look, there is a mouse on the sign of that store, and the door is in tatters, so it must be the 'Hiccup Snow Rat'!"

"What does this have to do with the broken door?"

"Because the people who come in here are all ruthless people. They must be very rude when opening and closing doors. They may even get into fights and break the door from time to time."

"What you said makes sense, let's go in."

"Sister, do we really want to go in with our faces covered with rags like this..."

"Let's make a living, make a living!"

Because my rating is too low to become a boss, I have no choice but to continue updating.

There are only 30 days in this month, so I can skip one day...
