I like traveling the most

[Adventurers]

This is a group of people who engage in adventure activities. Some of them travel purely out of their passion for exploration and discovery, while others adventure for their own wealth, interests, glory, reputation, or to find out certain truths.

They can have other professional identities, or they may just be travelers or wanderers who travel around. Freedom, unrestrainedness, and unfetteredness are their synonyms.

However, the work of adventurers is not as fantasy as imagined, but a more realistic and boring job. If adventurers are explained in one sentence, they are [mercenaries against monsters].

But if that were true, the adventurers' situation would not be so embarrassing.

In fact, because the ruling party hates the existence of armed groups that they cannot control, even if the economic aspect is excluded, the status of adventurers is not high.

There is also a reason for not absorbing adventurers on a national scale, and the idea that it is more cost-effective to find suitable adventurers locally rather than sending regular troops from the headquarters. For a kingdom that can sweep away monsters with only its own troops, the status of adventurers is even lower.

Let’s not talk about the Kingdom. The Empire’s situation became even worse after the Blood Emperor took office. Even the [Slian Theocracy] had no adventurers. Therefore, most adventurers would choose not to continue to be promoted or quit directly after reaching Mithril.

After all, the next level is difficult and takes a lot of effort. Even if the bounty earned is high, the cost-effectiveness is still too low compared to the effort.

However, some people choose to continue to upgrade their levels.

For example, they are longing for the work of adventurers and have enough enthusiasm, or they are born to eat this kind of food, or they can only rely on this method to stand out.

"So, in order to prove yourself to your family, you ran away from home to become an adventurer?"

"That’s right! If I can’t become an adventurer, I have to go home to inherit the family business. It’s really a headache! Hahaha!"

What’s going on? I feel inexplicably angry.

Peter Mok, the captain of [Black Sword], looked at the black-haired boy who laughed heartlessly in front of him. Even though he has a good temper and kindness, the smile on his face was slightly stiff.

I just saw that the boy was hesitating in front of the task bar, which was very similar to my past. I chatted with him out of kindness, but I didn't expect that he was not on guard at all and told me all his origins.

His name is Xiaolin, and he is the second son of a noble family. Because he admired the glorious deeds of adventurers (heroes) in fairy tales, he ran away from home despite his family's opposition and just became a bronze adventurer, that is, a brand new rookie.

I am jumping back and forth on the edge of life and death, just to make a living, but some people are nobles but run to be adventurers.

"Wait, wait. Don't tell your story casually, Xiaolin. If someone plots against you, you might be kidnapped and blackmailed."

The speaker is a blond man wearing leather armor, with narrow brown pupils that are very funny, and he feels like a big brother next door who is careless but considerate of others. His name is Lukrut Polbu, and he is the eyes and ears of the team.

"Eh, is that so?"

"That's right, not all adventurers are good people. Some people are kind on the surface but do evil things secretly. You have to be more careful when you are alone outside."

The person who said this was a middle-aged uncle with a bold beard and a burly physique that gave people the feeling of a barbarian. There was a strong smell of grass on his body, and unlike his barbaric physique, his eyes revealed intelligence. His name is Dain Woodwarda, and he is the healer of the team.

"Really? I'm taught you."

The boy nodded.

"But everyone looks like a good person, and they told me about this, so it doesn't matter. Hehehe~"

Everyone looked at the boy who was grinning in his seat, and felt like the stupid son of a landlord. It was because of this that everyone felt sympathetic and couldn't help but talk to him.

Except for one of them named Nina.

He is the think tank of the team, and also a magic chanter, and an important existence in the team. When he heard that Xiaolin was the second son of a noble family, his expression became ugly. Although he wanted to restrain his emotions, he still unconsciously brought hostility.

"Breathe, breathe, you are too nervous."

Lukelut came to Nina and whispered: "Not all nobles are so hateful. He is definitely not that kind of disgusting guy with his silly look."

"I know some nobles are very upright, but my sister was taken away by that pig, and I can't help but hate nobles."

"In that case, why not ask him."

Seeing that his companions could not let go of their grudges, Lukelut looked at Xiaolin who was still grinning in his seat, and deliberately asked in a frivolous and cheerful tone: "Little brother Xiaolin, you are a noble, right? I heard that nobles are people who have everything they want. Do you do this and that shameful thing with the maids all day long?"

"Wait, Lukelut, what are you talking about?"

Captain Pete hurriedly stopped him.

It's not that he's afraid that his companions will lead the children astray, but as the captain of the team, he naturally knows his companions' prejudice against the nobles, but he doesn't want to ask Kobayashi, who is not wary of them, about such things, or he doesn't want to hear an answer he doesn't want to hear.

However, Kobayashi said without hesitation: "No. After all, I don't have a maid at home."

"Why?"

"Because he is a poor noble from the countryside, he has no maids and housekeepers, not even soldiers to guard the door since he was a child."

"What's the matter? I remember that the state stipulates that nobles can exploit residents and do whatever they want..."

"I won't do it."

Under Nina's incredulous and incomprehensible gaze, the boy changed his stupid look and said seriously: "The duty of a noble is to protect rather than exploit. A real noble will not do that, and I am ashamed to associate with those people."

The contrast between the past and the present is too great, but because of this, Kobayashi's words let everyone understand how serious he is.

"What do you think, Nina? Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"...I didn't say anything."

Being teased by his companion Lukrut, Nina turned his head slightly, but he was also a little relieved.

It seems that the boy from the noble family in front of him is different from those dirty nobles. He is one of the few upright gentlemen, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a state of poverty.

"Then, I have a proposal."

"Lukerut?"

Under the doubts of his companions, the lazy blond man slowly said:

"--How about letting him join our team?"

"Wait!"

"Are you serious?"

The boy in front of him is a novice, and his companions in the team are prejudiced against the nobles. In such an embarrassing situation, he still made an inappropriate proposal.

"Think about it carefully, everyone. There are too many disgusting nobles, and there are too few upright boys like Xiaolin. He is the second son who needs to inherit the family business, and he will sooner or later become a new generation of nobles. Just take it as my wishful thinking, no matter what, I hope he will not become like other nobles in the future."

"Well..."

Hearing this, everyone fell into thinking.

It must be said that they are also extremely disappointed with the nobles of the kingdom, so when a rare noble child like Xiaolin who is upright and kind appears, they still don't want him to fall in the future. If he can be well guided, establish correct values, and let him understand the suffering of the common people, he will definitely be inclined to the common people in the future, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

"But, Nina..."

"I promise. If I can reduce the number of those dirty and bad nobles and prevent others from having the same experience as my sister, I promise."

"Nina!"

Somehow, they suddenly entered the touching part, and everyone looked at him with relief.

Only Kobayashi, an outsider, was confused and asked stupidly: "Um... what happened, why do you look so touched?"

"Nothing, just discussing whether we want you to join the team."

Peter smiled and said: "Sorry, I haven't asked your opinion yet. How should I put it, although the reward for joining the team may be less, with everyone taking care of each other, the dangers encountered in the adventure will be much smaller. I don't know if you..."

"I'll join! Please let me join!"

The boy jumped in front of Peter as if there was a spring under his buttocks, and held his hands with shining eyes.

"Too close, too close."

Peter was frightened by this enthusiasm and leaned back slightly.

Nina sneered slightly, "Really? Isn't your dream to become a great adventurer (hero) in fairy tales? If you are with us, you will never be able to become that kind of person."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!"

"What?"

"The success of doing things lies in the gradual accumulation from small to large, from little to much. My teacher taught me that whether you are an adventurer or a noble, if you want to succeed, you must never be too ambitious, but accumulate and grow little by little!"

The boy's expression was extremely serious.

Until now, everyone was completely sure that even if the other party was a novice, he had received an extremely excellent enlightenment education.

"Little brother Xiaolin, your teacher can say such profound and philosophical words. He must be a talented and knowledgeable person."

"Yes! I respect my teacher the most!...Hiss-it hurts!" The boy covered his forehead.

"Little brother Xiaolin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that my forehead feels like it was suddenly pricked by a needle."

"Dain, help him quickly."

"I'm looking."

Dain, who was in charge of the treatment in the team, was a qualified forest priest. He quickly helped him relieve the symptoms of headache. He should have used a mixture of some herbs, and the effect was very significant.

After a rest.

Xiaolin's tight brows relaxed, and everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the captain Peter asked: "Xiaolin, do you have any hidden illness? Although this may affect your privacy, in order to ensure the safety of the team members, I have an obligation to know your physical condition."

Although he had a good impression of the upright and kind nobleman in front of him, if such a situation happened in the battle, it would easily put them in danger. Therefore, for the safety of others, he had to carefully consider whether to include him in the team.

"This is my innate ability."

"Innate ability?"

Innate abilities are not uncommon. There is about one in two hundred people. Nina in their team is a natural ability user.

"Can you tell us what your natural ability is? Of course, you don't have to tell us if it's inconvenient."

"There is nothing inconvenient. The sting just now is the receipt of new knowledge. Because of the sudden influx of knowledge, the brain subconsciously resists, and when it is confirmed to be harmless knowledge, it will completely let go and write , then I will gain new abilities.”

They could hear every word that was said, but they couldn't understand it when they were put together.

But they all grasped the key words keenly.

"You just said...new abilities?"

"Yes. Including but not limited to martial arts, magic, herbal medicine, etc., and sometimes arithmetic, philosophy, politics and other knowledge. Because these abilities suddenly poured into my mind, as if they were granted by gods, so I Call this ability [Goddess’ Wisdom].”

"Awarded by gods? Real or fake?!"

Everyone in [Sword of Darkness] was completely dumbfounded.

Of course they know that everyone's natural abilities are different. Some can only be weather forecasters, some can speed up the progress of learning magic, and some are even more abnormal.

I thought that Nfilia's natural ability to use any magic items was abnormal enough, but why did he suddenly have the natural ability to gain unlimited access to martial arts, magic, herbal medicine and other knowledge?

Whose general is this?

"Being able to acquire new and unknown knowledge...[the wisdom of the goddess]...well, it is indeed a very appropriate description."

"The gap between people is too big."

"Hahaha, I have completely despaired of this unfair world, so I won't ask for anything, I just hope that I can have a good talent in my next life."

"Maybe you will really become a big shot."

Thinking of the young man who ran away from home to become an adventurer because of his longing for the heroes in fairy tales, they felt that in the future the young man would definitely become a famous and strong man, and he would most likely become as dazzling as the "Thirteen Heroes".

Peter, the captain of the team, pinched his chin, and after deep thought, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I seem to have picked up an incredible guy."

It was just out of sympathy, but unexpectedly I found a treasure.

Ominously, if Xiaolin really becomes as strong as the "Thirteen Heroes" in the future, the name "Sword of Darkness" may be written at the beginning of the circulated biography, and it may even be mentioned that he was the leader of the team Peter... Under the guidance of Mork, he embarked on the path of a hero. Just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement!

"Wait, wait."

Hearing what he said, the careless Lucrut refused.

"Obviously I have more credit. When you were all hesitating, I was the first to invite him. So even if I write it, I will write it in my biography that Lucrut Polbu changed his life. Only those who have a destiny in life can do it!”

"Well... indeed, if it weren't for Luke Root, we would probably have missed out on the potential of Xiaolin."

"Right, I deserve the most credit!"

For some reason, the two of them suddenly burst into laughter, and Nina and Dyne also smiled helplessly.

The boy was confused and asked: "Why are you smiling so happily? Did you remember something happy?"

However, with this cute and stupid sentence, the people in the team laughed even more heartily.

Yes, that's how it should be.

It is this kind of simple boy who joins the adventurer team for the first time that makes it more like a heroic biography, just like what is described in fairy tales!
