How to live as a wanderer

Of course, the dice gambling was from children to the elderly, from slaves to nobles.

However, it was also a little humble to say that the nobles liked it publicly. The nobles' public entertainment was a sport of intellect and dignity like chess, not dice gambling.

But how can you be so openly interested? Does that mean...?

"Sir, you don't like to gamble with dice! ’

Gordon is suddenly delighted. I wasn't sure if I could get along well with this new owner I had never seen before, but it seemed to fit well. A Norse knight. I don't know any owners who'd fit in so well with him.

Not to brag, but Gordon was an expert at dice gambling. He knew which cities had good water, where to go to go to illegal gambling and which eyes were good at which situations.

But John has surpassed Gordon's expectations. John began to ask about smuggling when the gambling ended.

“How did you smuggle? ”

“Yes?”

“I wonder how you smuggled gold. Tell me how. But you did it because you were sure. ”

“Bribe the guards, hide them in a box inside the city...”

“You're so formal. Why are you stuck? ”

“The guard betrayed me. Maybe he's scared...”

Smuggling was too much for a few coins. You can hang from yourself to your family at the moment it takes you.

“Well. Bribing the guards doesn't seem like the best way. It's easy to betray, and if someone else examines you, it's over. ”

Items imported into the city are carefully inspected. It was too dangerous to buy one or two.

“How about smuggling it into the belly of an animal that won't take much longer?" Hire a shepherd or a pig to put gold in the belly of sheep and pigs. ”

“...!!! ”

Gordon was surprised by John's words in two ways.

The first was that the knight had suggested smuggling, and the second was plausible. I wonder why you didn't use that method.

"What a great way! ’

There was no doubt that shepherds and pigs were dragging animals into the city.

“What do you think? ”

“That's... that's a great way to go. ”

“Indeed. I'm glad it works. ”

John encouraged Gordon. John asked for future money, but this conversation was beneficial to each other. Above all, Gordon was in favor of this unique new owner.

Companions know each other.

Gordon, a fast-paced vendor, senses that the new owner is quite different from the knights he was worried about. Rather, he may be a good match for himself.

I don't know which bloody battlefield to fry, but there was no master better than a communicative master. Gordon pledged his allegiance under this article to keep up the good work.

The road to Marcel was smooth. The mercenaries are moving faster than usual. It wasn't necessarily the bandits nearby or the schedule. It was because of what happened in Luzbek. The villagers who changed their minds may not have come after them.

“Lord in heaven, it rains on you...”

“No. Since when did you become such a devout believer? ”

“Listen to the end.... and may the Gamson cub sprint to Marcel first and be caught. ”

“Khh. If that's the case, I'll have to pray for a long time. ”

Even though mercenaries were not as devout as priests, they basically believed in God. I used to believe it when it was convenient for me, but...

In this age, religions could not be separated even if they did not believe.

“When we're done praying, let's get ready for camp. ”

“Ah. I think I'm getting stiff. I want you to go to the city and solve it. ”

“Wait, isn't that a wolf crying? ”

“What? There aren't any wolves around here. Where did it come from?”

The mercenaries are bewildered. There are no wolves around. Of course, it was common for predators and monsters to flow in.

“Dammit. We'll be distracted while we stand guard. ”

“Let's pretend the wolf killed him is an idiot. ”

John, who was sitting and listening to their conversation, stopped. The sound of the wolf's cry was strangely familiar.

John gets up and walks out of the camp. The mercenaries were embarrassed and asked.

“Where are you going, Knight? ”

“Let me check for a second. ”

John reaches close to the forest, full of a long sword. And he cried out.

“Come out!”

The mercenaries thought John was crazy for a moment. If John wasn't a knight, he'd say, "Are you crazy? ’The sound would have been instantaneous.

However, John was not mad. A really big wolf appeared before us. I thought mercenaries weren't wolves at first because they were so big.

“Well, what the hell. Is it a monster?"

The mercenaries with the cowardly weapons stop moving. The wolf began to shake its head in front of John. Like a shepherd's dog.

“No... I think that's the knight." ”

“Huh. You're good. You tamed a man like that. ”

“You're not even a werewolf. You're amazing. Are you from the North?”

“If you're dealing with wolves, isn't that east? ”

“No. Northmen, too. ”

‘...? ’

John was embarrassed to hear the mercenaries talk behind his back.

The mercenaries are not as surprised as I thought. Even with a wolf this big.

Then John realized. You think you're too common sense.

‘Well, monsters have magic, but there's no way those big wolves are out there...! ’

After hearing the commotion, the whole Eldans looks at you and asks.

“Are you the knight's wolf? Why did you make me follow you so far? What are you gonna do if you lose it?”

“I didn't want to bother you. ”

“Hahaha! You too, Knight. These are some of the mercenaries that went through Anterior Anterior War. A tamed wolf doesn't scare you. ”

Eldans bursts into laughter. The mercenaries nod with a smile. He was not a child enough to be frightened by the tamed wolf. I've never seen a wolf-beater before.

‘But it's really big. What did they feed you? ’

The mercenaries try not to act scared, but flinch as the Black Wolf approaches. It was an instinctive reaction.

“It doesn't matter on the outside, but it's better to fill your necklace when you get into the city. Let's see…”

Eldans took out the necklace that was filling the beast's neck. John stares at the black wolf.

‘I'll be damned if I fill it up. ’

Will the beast do nothing when he's wearing that necklace?

Surprisingly, the Black Wolf remained silent. A necklace with John's name engraved on the neck of a black wolf. Even though you only wore one necklace, the Black Wolf was also a well-tamed beast.

“What's his name? ”

“Your name? Uh... Karamaf. ”

“Karamaf! You named him after Lord Karamaf?" Haha. ”

“...... ”

‘Cause I ate him. ’

John felt that he had no sense of naming himself. What does Karamaf even mean?

However, Eldans nods to see if he's convinced. It was common to name a famous noble or knight for a horse or a beaver. I want to be energized by that person.

Karamaf is a famous knight in the Empire. It was enough to have a name. But, um...

‘Lord Karamaf is a famous knight for his henchmen. ’

The people of the Catalan Peninsula beyond the mountains, south of the Empire, did not like the Emperor of the Holy Empire very much. If I had the chance, I'd say, "The Catalan cities are my territory!" ’No one would like to drool.

If John had been a knight of the Emperor family, he would have been in trouble.

“Johann, do you respect Lord Karamaf as well? ”

Eldans decided to show off. Eldans thought John, the nobleman, wouldn't recognize his handiwork, but John was a big man who ate nothing but food on the land. I realized right away.

‘What, is it related to Karamaf? Ah, I see. Emperor...

I Respect Karamaf > Knight of the Chin Emperor Family!

John kicked his tongue. I can't believe you dragged me out here like that. An experienced vendor could never be underestimated.

“No, not really. ”

“Is that right? No. Oh, I don't mean that John isn't great. ”

“I don't doubt Lord Karamaf's skill, but he has no honor. ”

John had an excuse already prepared. Karamaf roams around as the Emperor's Butcher with many enemies. His flag, which suppressed the civil war and rebellion, was soaked in blue blood.

“Aha. I thought so, too. ”

Eldans hurriedly listened to John. However, his ears were moving as if it were pleasant. The suspicions have been cleared.

Grrrrr.

The new Karamaf slapped John's leg with a cheerful cry. John suddenly came to his senses and looked at the wolf.

“... If you were following me, have you seen those two fugitives running from town? ”

The wolf nods.

“See? Why don't you... No. I wouldn't want that for you. ”

From the wolf's point of view, two humans must have been confused as to whether they should be allowed to eat. Especially since I was riding on John's horse.

“Do you know where they went? ”

The wolf turns its head and points in Marcel's direction. John smiles.

Marcel was a beautiful city that had been descended from the ancient empire. Marcel's appearance came close to John, who had spent his life here in the countryside. Without a previous memory, he would have reacted like a hillbilly.

"Amazing!"

The city was prosperous, but John was admiring something else. It was the technology of the ancient empire.

The ancient empire felt like Rome on Earth, but its technological power was of a different dimension. Living metal armor, a prestigious sword that will slaughter anything, and a passageway that lasts for over a thousand years... Are there any mercenaries who specialize in searching for the ruins of the Ancient Empire?

Moreover, Marcel said he could get clean water anywhere, and that there was still water everywhere, even though the bathtub was abundant, he had a near-perfect water system. The people of this city were not great. It was just that the system that had existed since the ancient empire was still working. No matter how close you get to the river,

The ability to make the canal run like a bloodline throughout the city and sustain it was truly miraculous.

I thought it was dirtier and smellier.

I immediately heard the good news before I was finished admiring it.

A guard met at the gate and talked to Eldans.

“Oh, Mr. Eldans. That's great. ”

“What's the matter, Pso? ”

“The mercenary Mr. Eldans hired came to talk, so I locked him up. Mr. Eldans sent you, didn't he? If you're right, you need to go and check it out...”

Eldans turns his head. The mercenaries whose faces brightened with joy of arriving in the city, however, cheered for the unexpected good news.

“You son of a bitch, let's go to George! ”
