E-Rantel has always been a border city and an important military town of the Kingdom of Ri-Estije. It is a small part of the territory directly under the current king of the Kingdom of Ri-Estije, Rambossa III, and the royal family.
Its geographical location is very advantageous to a certain extent, because here, going west along the main road, is the capital of the Kingdom of Ri Yestije, Ri Yestije City; while to the south, there is Ri Yestije City. Not long ago, they raided and massacred the border villages of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, and also ambushed the kingdom's warrior captain Gazef Stronov. He wanted to blame the Bahas Empire, and even wanted to provoke a war between the two countries. The Silian Theocracy was at war; if you go east, there is the Bajas Empire, which was almost successfully framed by the Silian Theocracy. Even if it is not framed, it may launch a war against the kingdom at any time!
In addition to the southeast, southeast and west sides, to the north of the town of E-Rantel is the towering tower covered with snow that successfully separates the territory of the Bahas Empire and the Kingdom of E-Rantel. , it is even said that there are powerful and terrifying frost dragons and various terrifying creatures, as well as the Angelicia Mountains where Warcraft lives and appears, the lakes and swamps of the non-human lizard people, a large dense forest surrounding the mountains, and the area that was previously occupied by Anne. A small piece of plain where the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is located with a big skeleton who was beaten up severely!
Of course, there must be pioneering villages like Karn Village scattered on the borders of the kingdom... However, after deliberate sneak attacks and massacres by the Silian Theocracy, currently near E-Rantel It is temporarily unknown how many border villages there are left.
As an important border town of the Kingdom of Li Yestij, E-Rantel connects all parts of the kingdom and villages and towns on the border. No matter how much Anne likes to be 'lost', she will definitely not miss it!
Therefore, by this time in the evening, she had already arrived in this relatively prosperous town, and spent almost half a day walking around, and had a general understanding of the place...
"Uh-huh……"
(￣～￣)Chew!
"Gulu!"
o(╯▽╰)oIt smells so good~~
As a foodie who loves food, whenever she goes to a new place or a new world, Annie will not easily let go of anything she finds that looks delicious or is recommended by others. of!
Isn’t this?
In just half a day of wandering around the streets of E-Rantel town, she already held a lot of the special delicacies of this border city in her arms and was chewing them to her heart's content, and continued to enjoy them as she pleased. The ground was wandering around in the streets.
"La la la~!"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
"uh-huh?"
(￣～￣)?
Suddenly, Annie turned her head and saw an aunt on the street dressed as a peasant woman with rough and cracked hands selling two sacks of some kind of dried fruit she didn't recognize. Then, curious, she walked away naturally. When I arrived at the other party's stall, I stared at the other party's goods with my eyes wide open.
'H-hello! '
'Little guest, do you need some? '
Looking at the clean and gorgeous clothes on the other person's body, as well as the spotless and delicate skin with white and rosy colors, and the food in her arms, the peasant woman didn't know that the other person must be a child of a wealthy family in the city and must be The kind of big shot who can afford her nuts?
So, she put on a shy face, tried her best to put on a kind smile and asked quickly.
"..."
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
It looks delicious...
"of course yes!"
Յ(¯﹃¯Յ)
Annie's cute little nose twitched and she sniffed. The vague fruity smell coming from the shell made her think that it must be something edible, so she naturally went up to it and grabbed it without any politeness. After one piece, I broke it open with my bare hands, threw it into my mouth and started chewing.
'? ? '
'ah! you! you……'
Seeing this weird little girl approaching him, grabbing a nut, breaking it open and stuffing it into her mouth, the otherworldly aunt selling nuts was shocked.
"Eh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"What's the matter? Can't you try it first before buying it? Or, aunty, the thing you sell is not something that can be eaten directly by others?"
Σ(°～°|||)︴Chew!
"Gulu!!"
(,,•؎•̀,,)
Although she asked this question, Annie's mouth had no intention of stopping at all. Instead, she continued to chew, enjoying the fresh, crisp and tender nuts with a lot of moisture left between her teeth, lips and tongue. After hearing the fragrance, he swallowed it in one mouthful before the other party answered him!
It was too late for the other party to say anything now, because she had already eaten them, and it didn't matter even if they were really not edible, they would definitely not be poisonous to her anyway.
(…)
(￢㉨￢.)
'No! '
'No, it's just...'
After staring at the other person with strange eyes for a while, the aunt continued to explain in a dull manner:
'only……'
'I've rarely seen anyone like you who can break it open with your hands... It's a hammer nut grown from a tree called the thorn tree by people here. The shell is very hard, especially this kind of nut. What hasn't had time to dry may be harder than stone? '
'Usually we can only break it open with a big hammer...'
'And you can only break it open and eat it after it's cooked. It's rare to break it open and eat it raw like you do...'
It can definitely be eaten raw, but there are very few people in the town of E-Rantel who eat like that. After all, it is too troublesome and time-consuming to crack open a fresh hammer nut... Maybe, once How many times does it take a strong and powerful adult man to swing a hammer several times before he can barely succeed?
So, this was the reason why the aunt just stared at Anne like she was a freak.
"Eat it grilled?"
∑(´△｀)? !
"Is this what it looks like?!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o☄
After thinking for a moment, and then tilting her little head to stare at the aunt who was looking at her like a monster, Annie suddenly reached out again and took out another round nut from the other person's sack, and then Under the horrified eyes of the other party, he directly used the flame to roast it in the palm of his hand until it cracked. Then he broke it open without any concern and took out the hot nuts inside which indeed exuded a more charming fragrance. He threw it into his mouth all of a sudden.
"okokokok……"
(￣～￣)Chew!
"ha!"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧It’s really delicious!
"Here~! Here you go, auntie! I have bought all these two sacks of yours!!"
(✧؎✧)
Little Annie, who once again grilled and broke it under the horrified eyes of the other party, immediately threw a gold coin into the other party's arms after eating. Then with a wave of her hand, the contents of the two sacks disappeared in an instant.
'! ! '
'Are you the legendary noble magic chanter? ! '
Now, when the little-experienced fruit farmer saw what little Annie had done, he became even more embarrassed.
"no!"
o(´^｀)o
"My knight is an arcane mage!"
o(*•̀ᴗ-*)o
After speaking, Annie turned around and was about to leave, because she had bought all the goods of the other party, so she would not stay and chat with him!
'etc! '
'Dear little guest, please wait...'
"??"
∑(´△｀)? !
"what happened again?"
(°ー°〃)
'guest……'
'You, your gold coin...'
The peasant woman seemed a little embarrassed and at a loss as to what she wanted to express.
"What, isn't it money?!"
(O^~^O)
This is not the first time Anne has encountered this situation.
In fact, during the time when she was shopping in the town of E-Rantel today, she spent a long time every time she bought something, and the reason why she was like that was all because of the gold coins and The kingdom’s gold coins are different.
Because she has never seen the ignorant guys in this town, so she has to explain and argue for a while every time?
'ah! '
'Of course it's money...'
'But, I have never seen such a beautiful and heavy gold coin...'
"oops!"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"As long as it's gold, as long as it weighs more than the gold coins you have here, you're so stupid!!"
₍₍٩(＿＿*)₎₎
'etc! ! '
'But……'
The peasant woman hesitated, as if she wanted to say something else.
"never mind!"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
"Really...hey! I'll give you two more. That's okay, right?" vp
(｡◝‿◜｡)
After saying that, Annie threw two more golden coins into the other person's arms, then turned around and left, not planning to pay attention to the other person anymore about the money issue.
'guest! '
'Dear little guest? ! '
'...'
'What, what should I do, what should I do? ! '
Seeing the little girl jumping and running fast, the peasant woman just wanted to catch up, but where could she see her shadow?
She actually wanted to tell the little girl magic chanter just now: She didn't have any change with her, only a few copper coins, and she would definitely not be able to find the gold coins the other party gave her... But no matter what, the other party didn't even finish listening to her. If so, she just threw two more gold coins and ran away, which made her not know what to do for a moment!
However, Anne never cared about whether she paid too much or too little. Anyway, she just thought it was about the same.
then……
While shopping for food, she soon came to a place that looked lively...
"Adventurers Guild?"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"Hmm..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
Staring at the big house where people were coming and going, Anne hesitated for a while and thought about it. She felt that if others could enter, she would definitely be able to enter, so she walked in so openly.
"..."
|˛˙꒳˙)Hello?
"Wow! It's quite lively here..."
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)✧
After wandering around for a while and looking at the messy people and things, Annie walked to a counter and stood on tiptoes looking at someone wearing a strange hat and still looking at the counter. Secretly keeping an eye on his weird sister.
'...'
'Hello, dear little guest, may I ask, what task do you want to take on? '
Although I always feel that this little girl is strange, and I have been paying attention to the other person since she came in, and I always see the other person taking out something completely different in size from the small pocket... However, after a moment of hesitation, Thinking that the other party might be someone who could cast certain spells or magic chants, the front desk teller of the Adventurer's Guild smiled and asked softly to the other party.
"Task?"
(´◔‸◔`)
"But, I don't seem to be a messy adventurer like you, so why would I take on your mission? Besides, what's the fun in taking on missions?!"
(“▔□▔)
'...'
'Then... do you want to be certified as an adventurer? '
Seeing the other party take out another hammer nut, he then suddenly summoned the magic flame in his hand to roast it in front of him, and waited until it exploded before breaking it open, throwing the nut into his mouth and chewing it. , the female teller opened her mouth, and after knowing that the other party must be a powerful magic singer, she asked tentatively.
If the other party wants to certify adventurers, they have to go elsewhere, because her counter here is only responsible for receiving related services for adventurers and mission issuers.
"Humph! I don't want it!"
o(´^｀)o
"I'm not short of money, so why do I want to be such a stupid adventurer for you stupid guys?"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
Anne, who didn't notice at all that her words seemed to have accidentally offended the other party and many adventurers present, made a big face at the other party angrily after finishing her words.
Think about it, the purpose of taking on tasks is to make money, and obviously, Anne herself is not short of money. On the contrary, she is very rich, even richer than all of them combined!
'...'
'That's it...'
'Then you want to come to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a mission and hire our adventurers to help you? '
Although the other party's words made her feel a little annoyed, the female teller still had to ask patiently and carefully after remembering the other party's behavior of roasting nuts with burning hands and breaking them open with her bare hands.
"Don't ask anyone for help!"
(￢д￢.)
"And your adventurers all look so weak. They can't even hit one of the toes of someone's little bear, so I won't hire them!!"
☆⌒(*＾-゜)ฅ(;´㉨`)
After first looking at the so-called "adventurers" sitting or standing in the hall behind her with a look of disgust on her face, Annie raised her little bear and showed off proudly to the big sister standing at the counter. , and once again offended everyone present.
"What are you looking at?"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"Why don't you tell others that you are useless?!"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
As if she noticed something, Anne suddenly turned her head again and glared hard at the so-called 'adventurers' who had been staring at her just because they heard her words. In her opinion, those guys are nothing more than a group of lazy and lazy bad guys who have a little bit of power and don't want to find real jobs. They just think about taking risks and getting rich all day long. That's why she will treat them. See them! !
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
'...'
'Then you came here to...'
I asked for so long in vain, but it turned out that it was neither this nor that. The female teller was completely at a loss. She had to take a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and then she smiled patiently and looked at the other person carefully. asked.
"I didn't think about anything. I just had enough to eat and had nothing to do, so I just came in casually to stroll around and take a look!"
o(*¯︶¯*)o
"People are just looking at you, why are you actively doing anything?"
(„ಡωಡ„)
That's right, Annie just came in for a casual stroll, and it was the other person who took the initiative to say hello to her. Since she was idle, she just followed the topic and had a casual chat with the other person! Who made the other party be so proactive and enthusiastic just now that she felt a little guilty if she didn't have a good chat with him?
However, she definitely won't issue quests or act like a reckless adventurer, and she won't buy anything here. She really just comes in to take a look.
(…)
ε=(´㉨｀●)))Alas
'! ! '
'you! ! '
How could this hateful little guy be like this? !
The female teller was a little angry, but she didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to reprimand or offend the other person when she knew that the other person would summon flames out of thin air.
"I've finished watching it now. Anyway, this place of yours is super boring!"
o(*¯︶¯*)o
"So, bye!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
"No need to send it off! Bye~!"
₍₍ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ₎₎♪
After saying hello to each other and glaring angrily at the adventurers who were staring at her with cold or angry eyes, Anne turned around and hummed her own little song, heading towards this so-called adventure. He jumped out of the gate of the Guild and walked away...
…
'! ! '
'Oh~! '
At this time, outside the city wall of the town of E-Rantel, warrior captain Gazef Stronov finally arrived at E-Rantel with several cavalrymen who looked very embarrassed with some blood stains on their bodies. ·The gate to the north of Lantel and reined in the horse.
'...'
call! call!
After taking a few breaths and looking at the cavalry men behind him who were still very weak even though they had been treated with healing potions, and even saw some bandaged wounds that were beginning to ooze out blood stains due to the rush, he Then he sighed helplessly.
'never mind! '
'Since we have arrived in E-Rantel, let's rest here tonight and you can take the opportunity to treat your injuries? '
'yes! '
'Thank you, warrior, for your sympathy! '
'Well! '
'That's it, let's go! When we enter the city, we go directly to the military camp first. I still need to explain and assign some tasks! '
'yes! '
'Well, on to town! ! '
'yes! ! '
'Yes! ! '
'Drive~! ! '
Soon, the dusty people rushed to the gate of E-Rantel with their horses, and under the watch of the gate soldiers and officials who did not dare to stop or ask any questions, they walked along the city. The spacious horse path leads away from the dust.
