Is this really just an RPG? !

There is never a shortage of adventurers on Lindsay Continent.

This kind of unofficial personnel with force is often the best candidate to handle various complicated affairs, so adventurers are actually no different from mercenaries. The only difference is that the team of adventurers is relatively small, while the team of mercenaries is relatively large... If I really want to give an example, the former may not even have five people, while the latter may have more than 20 people in each operation. people.

Quite intuitive.

However, for the residents on the mainland, most people prefer adventurers.

After all, the profession of mercenary was classified as a gray area because of some subtle things.

By the way, the most common configuration for adventurers is a group of two, which is the most convenient. It will not be like a person who has no teammates to help when encountering anything, nor will there be too many people like a mercenary group that requires constant coordination of internal conflicts. Therefore, when a traveler wanders aimlessly on Lindsay Continent, he may encounter a group of adventurers.

Just like the two people passing by this town now.

The two teenagers should not be more than twenty years old in terms of appearance. The taller one held a paper bag containing bread in his left hand. Because of the cover of the cloak, he could only vaguely see that he was carrying a weapon, but he couldn't tell what kind of weapon it was. The shorter one squinted his eyes, looked like he was still asleep, walked staggeringly, and felt that he might fall down at any time.

These two are adventurers.

The most direct proof is that they wear the badge of the Adventurer's Guild on their clothes.

…………

Well, the name of this guild is really old-fashioned, but it is easy to understand.

For a remote town with few outsiders, the advent of adventurers is welcome news. As ordinary residents with low force values, they may encounter all kinds of problems, some of which can be solved by seeking the help of neighbors, but some of them are completely helpless.

The most typical is the problem of Warcraft.

The simple self-defense force composed of militias in the town has no way to deal with the monsters at all, and can only wait for the passing adventurers to send them a commission to crusade against the monsters to eliminate the existence that threatens the town.

But... the two people who came this time seemed to have some plans from the beginning.

"Excuse me, boss."

After entering an inn, the little adventurer spoke first.

Because he was wearing a wizard hat, the innkeeper couldn't see the boy's face, so he could only deduce from his voice and body shape that the adventurer in front of him was very young. The boss who had seen many adventurers did not look down on these two outsiders because he knew that the strength of many people did not match their age.

"Welcome, adventurer, do you need to stay?"

"No, I just want to ask you something."

"What's up?"

"I heard that there is a strange monster haunting this town."

"That's it... just as you heard." The innkeeper took a few deep breaths to make his expression look more calm, and turned around and took two glasses of ice water and put them on the counter, motioning for the two travelers to sit down. Then he continued, "There is a legend in this town, 'Every night at noon, there will be wailing from outside the window from time to time, if someone opens the door and walks to the street at this time, he will be taken away. Go, disappear completely, wait for another three days, and he will appear at the entrance of the town, but at that time, it is just a shriveled corpse'."

"legend?"

"In the beginning, it was just a strange story to scare children from running out at night, but... it should have started at the beginning of last month, and there will be one victim every week."

"At the beginning of last month, it has been 5 or 6 weeks?!"

"It's like this. When the first few victims appeared, everyone didn't pay attention. When they reacted, they found that no matter how much they warned, there would always be victims."

"Speak slowly and clear your mind a little bit."

The boy pushed the untouched ice water in front of the innkeeper.

Open, close, open, close, the innkeeper repeated this action many times, finally calmed down, drank the ice water in one breath, put down the glass, and exhaled deeply.

"Sorry, I can't control my emotions."

"Understandable, can you continue to explain?"

"Well, I mean, when people in the town noticed this, they imposed a night ban. All the residents understood the seriousness of the matter, but whenever the wailing sounded, some people would still walk out of the house become a victim."

"Every day?"

"It's not every day. If you think about it carefully, it should only appear on Friday night every week. Otherwise, the people in this town would have died long ago."

Speaking of this, the innkeeper tried hard to make himself laugh.

But that smile was too forced no matter how you looked at it.

"That's it," the boy lowered his head and muttered, then stood up and nodded to the boss, "I understand, thank you very much."

"Can you help us?"

When the two adventurers were about to leave, the innkeeper couldn't help asking.

"I can only say that I will work hard with my companions."

The boy answered the boss in this way, and then left the inn with his companion.

The two stopped shortly after walking far.

"Kage!"

The shorter boy raised his head and called out to his companion.

"What's the matter?"

"There is really a supernatural event!"

"It should be from a monster."

"Hey, so it's a monster?!"

"Isn't our purpose from the beginning just to say about that monster..."

"Oh~ So that's the case, why I don't know at all!"

"Because D you said in a daze the whole time as if you were about to fall asleep."

"Ah, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay to say."

The conversation between the two stopped suddenly.

A moment later, D looked up again at his companion.

"So what to do now?"

"Today is Friday."

"yes."

"That is to say, according to what the hotel owner said, the same thing should happen tonight."

"clear."

"Let's find a place to wait until the evening."

"OK."

"If possible, I would like to eat something first."

"What do you have in your hand?"

"Say it's already eaten."

"Got it, let's find a place to eat."

………………

Well, maybe there is still a gap between adventurers and mercenaries. That is, not only do they look unreliable, but they are actually not very reliable.
