Chapter 21: The Reunion of Hans Harbor ~ Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
A short but fulfilling sleep made Jason energetic.
About a moment before dawn, he woke up, and after a little activity, he opened the book given by the old knight again.
This book contains not only information on monsters, secret techniques, and rituals, but also a lot of knowledge and secrets. It can be said that this is a complete encyclopedia of the mysterious side of 'Lord'.
In order to be able to deal with it more calmly when he went back in the future, Jason did not waste time.
And always enjoyable.
The happy time is short-lived.
At daylight, after Peters had replenished food and water, Jason boarded the carriage with the book under his arm.
Looking at the distant village, Jason carefully took off his clothes and jumped off the carriage.
Charge practice begins again.
It's like it was yesterday.
However, this time, Jason was even more disabled.
Because the 'holy water (broth)' and 'holy oil (grease)' are completely gone.
Perhaps the speed of recovering physical strength and energy is not as fast as eating food directly, but being able to recover slowly and being unable to recover slowly are two different concepts.
So, by the time it got dark, Jason was almost truly exhausted.
Only a trace of strength was left, just in case.
"eat something."
"The bacon I bought in the village."
"They prepared it for the Harvest Festival."
At the campfire, Peters handed over the bowl.
Very simple food: rice porridge and cooked bacon.
After the white rice is boiled, add some bacon to give it a salty and meaty taste.
The staple food is dry food roasted on the campfire.
Corn mixed with chaff.
It was also bought in the previous village. After heating it on the campfire, it became crispier and crispier. One mouthful of rice porridge and one mouthful of cake. The former softened the latter so that it would not scratch your throat, and also added the slightest saltiness and flavor.
Meaty.
And this is something that only the common people at the bottom can eat during festivals.
Most of the time, bran and wild vegetables are the main foods.
Corn is rare.
These were all things Peters told Jason while he was cooking.
Peters, who should have been accustomed to silence, said this with emotion on his face.
Then, Peters shook his head and sighed, and was about to get the tortillas.
At this time, Jason asked.
"Do you know of monsters similar to [Nightmare Bugs]?"
"Or some monster like that, you know?"
Jason asked as he took two more tortillas and filled a new bowl of porridge.
Jason, who suffers from firepower deficiency, also suffers from satiety deficiency without knowing it.
Whenever I see my satiety level drop to single digits, I always feel uneasy.
Especially after the "holy water" and "holy oil" are exhausted one after another, this kind of satiety deficiency will appear in a more violent way.
For example: He feels very hungry now.
Want to eat more.
"[Nightmare Bug] is an insect cultivated using sleep-inducing grass. It has no attack power and very low defense. However, it can pull people into nightmares through the cicada's chirping. I don't know how it first appeared.
I don't know, but after being discovered by the previous person in charge of the 'Cat Cave', they became one of the guardians of the 'Cat Cave'; later, with the demise of the 'Cat Cave', they were re-cultivated by the 'Revival Society'
.”
"As for similar monsters?"
“There are many!”
"[Polybill], [Human-Faced Spider], [Two-Headed Snake], [Exploding Mushroom], [Bomb Pepper], [Big Bone Swamp Snake], etc., there are almost dozens of them."
Peters didn't hide anything and told Jason everything.
The 'Cat Cave' swordsman, who was counting the monsters on his fingers, didn't notice Jason secretly swallowing his saliva there.
"Are there any of these monsters on the way to the port of 'Hans'?"
Jason asked immediately.
Then, he took two more tortillas and filled a bowl of porridge.
"No!"
"Most of them became guardians after being tamed by the genre."
"But with the demise of the sect, these guardians have also disappeared. Maybe there are people in the federation who have tamed them, but that is not something I can know."
"If it's wild, it should be there, but you need to go to a deserted place to find it."
Peters said matter-of-factly.
"is that so?"
Jason was a little disappointed.
He also thought about going hunting along the way, which could not only replenish his satiety, but also complete the advancement of the 'Night Watcher'. You must know that with Peters's narration just now, the last unfinished condition for him to advance to the 'Night Watcher' was hunting.
Ten different monsters and the need to know their characteristics has become 9/10.
Full of disappointment, Jason reached for two tortillas again and filled a bowl of porridge.
"but……"
"I know a rumor."
“But it’s impossible to confirm whether it’s true or false.”
Peters suddenly thought of something, but before he said it, he reminded Jason.
"What rumors?"
Jason asked.
Then he took the last tortilla in his hand and poured the last porridge into his bowl.
"Sea monster!"
"There are rumors of a sea monster in the harbor of 'Hans'!"
"Some say it's a giant octopus."
"Some say it's a large lizard."
"Some people say..."
"It's a dragon!"
Peters concentrated on telling the rumor he knew, and then he saw Jason's whole body shaking and swallowing saliva.
"What's wrong?"
Peters asked in surprise.
He would not think that Jason, the 'Bear Tower' warrior, was afraid.
Did something happen?
"nothing."
"I'm just a little hungry."
Jason answered like this, turned around and boarded the carriage.
Peters looked down at the empty pot and all the missing tortillas, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He just ate one bowl.
Didn't eat any tortillas.
Is this what the teacher once said, when eating, you should focus on the food and don't talk?
After stirring the bonfire, Peters thought his teacher was right.
The journey continues.
With the rumors from Peters' mouth, Jason had more expectations for the 'Hans' seaport.
They were moving faster and faster.
First, it’s because time is getting increasingly tight.
Secondly, it was because Jason became more and more familiar with 'charge' and could sprint a considerable distance, and his speed became faster again, so Peters had to rush the horse to catch up. Although in the end, Jason would still fall, but there were already
With no room for control, complete mastery is not far away.
When the wind carried the smell of sea water, Jason knew that he was not far from the "Hans" harbor.
When the time came to noon on the 25th, Jason heard the sound of waves, and the harbor city appeared in his field of vision.
Pieces of white sails are connected on the blue sea.
Colorful roofs are scattered in front.
On the high lighthouse, seagulls fly.
When the warm sea breeze blows, the sweet chirping follows.
The chill of autumn was instantly dispelled.
“A city that makes people feel comfortable.”
"The Pearl of the Federation: Port Hans!"
Peters marveled.
Jason did not object. He had not seen the sea for a long time and was already attracted. Then, when Jason was about to enter Hans Harbor, he took advantage of the time to taste the local specialties.
