The morning after the word-of-mouth advertisement, Zeol and I left Oak Footsteps Pavilion after breakfast and a leisurely cup of tea.
When I asked why Orc Footprints had such a strange name, he said that for adventurers, Orcs are monsters, prey, and materials, so if they can track their tracks correctly, they will make money.
"So far, I have defeated four orcs, one of which was discovered by accident, and the other three were encountered while participating in the crusade, so I have never hunted them personally."
Originally, to defeat the orcs was to go to a designated location, follow their tracks to find them, target and defeat them.
If you use the steps to look around from a high place, only to stumble upon it and defeat it, you may not be able to complete your mission as an adventurer later.
"When the bronze wolf commotion is over, let's ask Mr. Zeol to teach us how to track prey."
"Look, Hua Wuming. This is the result of our efforts."
"Wow, there's a line"
Ibro is usually crowded at the south gate towards the royal capital, but I have never seen the north gate towards Rexiang or Mudai.
This morning, however, there were long lines at the checkpoint, waiting for people and luggage to be checked out of the city.
Most of the people queuing up were adventurers and traders, and it seemed like it would take a long time to check the traders' luggage.
"Most of the luggage seems to be food and alcohol. It doesn't matter if we don't check it carefully."
"That's not right, Hua Wuming. Your best chance at cracking down on contraband is when you're in and out of town like this. There's all kinds of dangerous goods moving around here.
"You mean dangerous goods?"
"Simply put, it's a drug, an illegal substance."
It is said that some adventurers rely on drugs to eliminate their fears when facing monsters.
I think this is common around the world, drugs that make you feel better or make you feel less tired are banned because they can cause hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and psychosis.
In a previous life in China, drug-detection dogs were active at airports, but in this world, dog people also play a similar role.
After passing the examination, the sharp-nosed man was hired by the viscount as an inspector, responsible for patrolling at the gates of these cities.
The inspection of wandering traders is mainly to combat prohibited items mixed in luggage, while the inspection of adventurers and travelers is mainly to check whether there are criminals planning to escape by checking ID cards. .yes.
"Even if the crime is not proven, even if you are charged, you cannot leave the city."
If criminals are driven out of the city, they may commit more criminal activities in nearby villages and risk becoming bandits or thieves.
As for Viscount Lagat, in order to protect the security of the territory, he may need to be cautious when entering and exiting the city.
Even after leaving the city, Mr. Zeol continued to ride his horses at a leisurely pace.
After completing the support request to the Knights and the crusade request to the Adventurer's Guild, our role is temporarily over.
"Hua Wuming, do you want to join the crusade?"
"But it's difficult, isn't it, Copper Wolf?"
"Yeah, even a metal spear can't pierce it well without piercing the fur."
"My attacks take advantage of the opponent's momentum and weight, so I feel like I'm going to be knocked back."
Even if you are referring to your own fur, if you cannot attack the eyes, mouth, nose, etc. of a charging wolf, then you cannot damage it simply by rubbing the surface of the fur.
"I also want to see how the crusade is going, so I can watch from a distance."
"Hahahaha, that makes sense. As far as you are concerned, you are not the kind of person who would go out to fight, so no matter what, participating is the rear support."
It seems that in this crusade against the Bronze Wolf, the shield will play the most active role.
Stand at the front, block the bronze wolf's attack, suppress its movements, and create a situation that is convenient for friendly forces to attack.
Most of the time, the attacker plays the role of destroying monsters, but without the presence of a shield, it is impossible to conquer large monsters.
His physical strength to withstand monster attacks, his courage to fight monsters, and his ability to act as a shield earned him a reputation equal to that of swordsmen and spearmen.
"Speaking of which, the man with the large shield stands out."
"For them, this crackdown is an opportunity to show off their skills."
Thinking of the bronze wolf I saw with my own eyes, if you ask me if I have the courage to challenge him in close combat, I can only say no.
"Actually, he ran away with his tail between his legs and didn't have the courage to rush in."
"Hahahaha, don't be shy. You rush forward even though you know you are not your opponent. This is brute force. It will be a waste of your life and it won't do you any good." No, actually, it's just because you came back to tell us that we have done it. All this preparation.
"Will Copper Wolf go to the village?"
"I don't know, but I think it's very likely. They're probably feeding on goblins right now, but if there's prey nearby, they'll naturally attack."
Mr. Zeol expected the Knights to establish a system centered on the southeast side of the village and protecting the village's borders from east to south.
"Where else?"
"The knights will patrol this area. If there is any accident, they will notify you with a call or magic."
By firing fire-attribute magic and water-attribute magic into the sky, it seems that knights and soldiers in the distance will also be notified.
As a knight, ensuring the safety of the residents is the top priority, and it seems that they will subdue them whenever possible.
"I see, that's why adventurers are needed."
"Yes, it is a shield used by knights to protect villages, and a sword used by adventurers to attack mountains."
Arriving at Kidoi Village before noon, we learned that support from the Knights had arrived yesterday.
I was only thinking about Azka Village, but when it came to knights, I thought about the entire territory.
Even in Kidai Village, no one had witnessed the Bronze Wolf with their own eyes, but the knights arrived as soon as they learned of its existence, so the villagers didn't seem to be much disturbed.
While I was waiting for my replacement horse, the village chief and Olivier appeared to greet me.
"Mr. Zeol, I heard that you arranged things quickly, which was very helpful."
"Village Chief, if you want to express your gratitude, please say a word to Hua Wuming. He is the one who informed the existence of the Bronze Wolf and went to Bisleuus Fortress to seek help."
"Huhu, this is really a great achievement, Hua Wuming.
"No, I just did what I should do, the Bronze Wolf has not been conquered yet"
"But Mr. Hua Wuming is really amazing. With such a small body, even adults are ashamed."
Olivier was excited to hear the story and hugged me, but I hope you don't do that in front of Miguel.
"Well, I completely understand your desire to take off my proud coat."
"Mr. Hua Wuming, isn't the road to Azka Village dangerous? Do you want to stay in Muyo Village until the Bronze Wolf is defeated?"
"Thank you, Olivier.
"It turns out it's such a pity."
Maybe Olivier is a real Moffler and he won't miss the opportunity for Moffler.
"It's really sad, but it looks cute when it swells up."
"It's understandable why Miguel got so heated."
"Hua Wuming, Yun looks suspicious, so let's hurry up."
After putting on replacement horses and starting to climb the pass that borders the villages of Atuga and Kushiro, clouds began to form and the sun began to set.
At this moment, Mr. Zeol quickened the pace of his horse and began to walk along the mountain road towards Houga Village.
"ah!"
A huge bronze shadow passed through the forest on the left side of the road, and one of the three adventurers walking in front disappeared.
"Gah ah ah"
The speed was so fast that everyone stood still until they heard screams coming from deep in the forest.
"Nidor! Damn it, let's go after Reve!"
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!"
The two kidnapped fellow adventurers stepped into the forest.
"Mr. Zeol"
"We have reports, we don't know how strong they are, but even with us, four people can't compete with the Bronze Wolves. It's better to let the knights know, go to the highway, or let them be prepared." In case. They rush in. "
Mr. Zeol kicked the horse in the belly and accelerated towards Houxiang Village.
