I like traveling the most

"Let's get to work without further ado."

"Okay."

"I can't wait."

"Yes, it took up a lot of time."

After the captain Peter reminded them, the team members realized what they should do now.

They planned to explore the surroundings and gradually move towards the forest in the south, mainly hunting monsters in the border forest of the [Slian Theocracy]. At most, they were only at the level of goblins. The mission was not difficult, so the reward was not high, but it was also a good place to test Xiaolin's strength.

After all, new members joining must understand their respective strengths and how to cooperate in battle.

When they walked down the stairs.

Pah——

"I want this job. "

Accompanied by the crisp sound of slapping the counter, a steady and slightly vicissitudes of life voice followed.

He was a tall warrior wearing a full-body armor of extremely imposing and terrifying black with golden and purple patterns. Under the bright red cloak was a giant sword that was a circle larger than the ordinary big sword. He was an unruly and imposing black warrior.

Next to him was a tall and stunning woman with the same hair color as Xiaolin.

"... They actually appeared, an eye-catching combination."

"Xiaolin? What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

Xiaolin's abnormality was only noticed by the captain Peter next to him. As for the rest of the team members standing at the corner of the stairs, they were already shocked like the counter lady of the Adventurer's Guild.

Soon, the counter lady reacted.

Looking at the new adventurer with a bronze medal on his chest, he was confused and smiled bitterly and said, "I'm very sorry, this job can only be done by Mithril-level adventurers..."

"I know, so I brought it over. "

The dark warrior spoke calmly and confidently, causing the counter lady to look surprised.

"Uh, that..."

"I want to take this job."

"Huh? Ah, but even if you ask me to, the rules..."

"Boring rules. I'm just not happy that I have to keep repeating such easy and cowardly work before I can level up."

"But failure means losing my life."

This is not a deliberate embarrassment, but a protection for adventurers of different levels. Otherwise, these arrogant adventurers will definitely choose difficult tasks and then give up their lives.

If they only sacrifice their own lives, it's fine. If they implicate others or cause the mission to fail, it will cause considerable trouble.

"Humph. "

The dark warrior snorted coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with such words, or felt that he was being looked down upon.

Similarly, his cold snort of contempt for the rules made the counter lady and the adventurers look hostile, and the gunpowder smell gradually became stronger.

Being stared at with a look of "this guy is here to pick a fight", the dark warrior did not show any fear at all... No, it is better to say that no one can see his expression because his face is covered by the helmet.

This is his next judgment.

"The person behind is my companion Nabe, she is a magician of the third class."

!!!

A burst of noise shook the air, and everyone looked at the black-haired woman with surprised eyes. She has reached the realm of the master of magic chanters at such a young age, is it true?

It's not over yet.

"As for me, of course I am a warrior with the same strength as Nabe. I can conclude that this level of work is a piece of cake for us. ”

Unlike the ordinary women, the black warriors dressed in magnificent and powerful clothes are more convincing in the eyes of everyone.

"We didn't become adventurers just to do simple jobs that can only earn a few copper coins. I want to challenge higher-level jobs. If you want to see our strength, let you see it. So, can we take this job?"

The strong have their own pride.

The strong are naturally not interested in jobs that only low-level adventurers can do, so the idea of ​​taking on difficult tasks is understandable. Especially for these rough people who value the strength of adventurers, they agree with this idea more.

However, the counter lady is different.

Her duty is to follow the rules and regulations, even if it is a noble, it is the same when coming to the Adventurer's Guild. So she understands the difficulties of the strong and simply refuses.

"I'm very sorry, because of the regulations, I can't let you take this job."

"...Then there is no way, I seem to be asking too much. "

Seeing the lady at the counter bow her head to apologize, the mighty warrior also bowed his head. Then he said: "Then, please help me choose the most difficult bronze-level job. In addition to the jobs posted on the notice board, there should be other jobs, right?"

"Ah, yes, I'll find them now."

The lady at the counter got up and left.

At this time-

"So, do you want to help us work?"

From the corner of the second-floor stairs, a man's voice came.

It was the team leader Peter.

There was a little trepidation on his face. After the mighty black warrior snorted and turned his head, Xiaolin beside him could clearly feel his body shaking.

No need to think, he must have regretted speaking up.

The interrupted warrior was not annoyed, but asked with the pride of a strong man: "Is the job you are talking about valuable work?"

"Well... I think so."

Peter pretended to be calm.

The strong man nodded slowly: "What I pursue is valuable work, so let's work together. Let's ask first, what kind of work is it?"

Hearing this, Peter subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at Xiao Lin beside him with a slightly angry expression. He seemed to be condemning the other party for why he had just allowed himself to speak.

Why?

The reason is very simple, because this mighty jet-black warrior is a rare talent at first glance and an excellent potential stock!

Then everyone moved back to the room again.

"Then please take a seat."

At the invitation of the captain, everyone took their seats.

What's interesting is that the third-level genius magic caster named Nabe did not sit down immediately but fell behind. After receiving the soldier's order, she silently sat down next to him. Sitting upright, it looked like he was headed by a warrior.

Interestingly, although they are powerful magic casters, they are led by warriors. There are generally two reasons. The warrior is noble or stronger than her, and not even a little bit stronger.

I really caught a big fish.

But now Xiao Lin is the only one who has discovered this matter.

"Then before we talk about work, let's briefly introduce ourselves."

Captain Peter introduced the guerrilla Lukroot, the forest priest Dyne, the magic chanter Nina, and the novice adventurer Xiaolin to each other one by one.

【】

The dark warrior also introduced himself:

"My name is Momo and she is Nabe."

It was quite brief, and the girl sitting next to him had no intention of speaking. Then I discovered that Momo had been staring at Xiao Lin.

Peter asked curiously:

"What's wrong, Mr. Momo?"

"...I'm really sorry for keeping you staring, but I'm just curious, is Kobayashi (KOBAYASHI) from the island country?"

Although the dark warrior's expression could not be seen, his slightly trembling body and his different tone could tell that he was a little excited and looking forward to something.

"No, I'm a native of my country."

"is that so……"

Sighing slightly disappointed and relieved.

It seemed that he was a little disappointed to learn that Xiao Lin was not from the island country.

Momo's strangeness was also noticed by Nabe. She looked at Xiao Lin who was smiling silly at her in the seat, and clicked her tongue with a hint of jealousy and disgust.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, captain Peter quickly said: "Um... from the island country, Miss Nabe has black hair and black eyes. You two must not be from nearby. I heard that in the south, people like Miss Nabe It’s quite common for people of this species, where are you from?”

"Yes, we come from far south."

"You really know how to joke. The island country is obviously in the east. It is even a country in the far east."

As soon as Momo finished speaking, Xiao Lin followed closely behind, and exposed the other party's lies without giving any face. However, instead of being angry, Mo Mo jumped up from his seat, put his hands on the table and stared at Xiao Lin with burning eyes.

Because of his tall and powerful figure, his figure enveloped the small Xiao Lin in the seat, giving him a full sense of oppression.

"What did you just say?!"

"Huh? I said...hiss--!"

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Lin suddenly covered his forehead.

Such a reaction made everyone present nervous. First, Miss Nabe appeared in front of Momo with lightning speed, acting like a physical guard. It was clear that she was supposed to play the role of output from the rear.

Momo knocked her on the head. The girl covered her head and was pushed away by the soldier who didn't understand the charm. But this cute reaction was not noticed by anyone, because everyone in the team gathered around Xiao Lin with concern.

"Dyne!"

"I know!"

Dyne, who was in charge of treating the team, once again took out herbs that could relax people's nerves, and Xiaolin's frown soon calmed down.

Seeing this, Momo couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Peter, what's going on?"

"Ah, I'm sorry for making Mr. Momo nervous. In fact, this is Xiaolin's natural ability." Captain Peter said casually subconsciously because he cared about his companions.

"Innate powers?"

Apparently Momo has also heard this word.

"Hmph, don't be surprised when I say it!"

Luke Root suddenly jumped out and said in a frivolous and exaggerated tone: "There are actually two people with natural powers in our team! One of them is our Nina! He has unparalleled adaptability to magic and can The time it takes to learn it is shortened from eight years to four years! Unfortunately, I am not a magic caster, so I don’t know how powerful it is.”

It sounds like he is showing off, but the team members who are familiar with him are keenly aware that this is downplaying Xiaolin's existence.

Indeed, Xiaolin's natural ability is very strong. If he can get enough room for growth, he will definitely be as popular as the "Thirteen Heroes" in the future.

…The premise is to get enough room for growth.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the natural ability I have happens to belong to that system. But... I am really lucky to be born with this ability, because it allows me to take the first step to pursue my dream. Without this ability, I might just Just an ordinary civilian living his life in a mediocre way.”

Nina waved his hand to indicate that he was not outstanding, but the whispering voice was gloomy and heavy, and clearly had a tragic past.

Peter, the captain of the team, who was trying to clear up the gloom, said in a completely different tone: "No matter what, you are a well-known person with natural powers in this city."

"Although there are more famous than me."

"Captain of Blue Rose?"

"That person is also famous, but the person I'm talking about is in this town."

"It's Barreare."

Dyne said the name loudly.

Then, as if to help Momo and Nabe who came from the Far East without knowing anything, Dyne spoke directly:

"His name is Nfirea Barreare, the grandson of a famous pharmacist. He has the innate ability to use any magic item. Not only can he use different system scrolls that were originally unusable, but he can also use items that are restricted to races other than humans. There must be no problem with items that can only be used by people with royal blood."

"...Oh?!"

Momo sighed softly.

In this town, Barreare's name is very loud and almost everyone knows it, but it is the first time for Momo and Nabe who have just arrived to hear it.

Nabe leaned towards Momo and whispered something, and Momo also replied to her.

"... As expected, it's right to come here."

"Mr. Momo, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it. By the way... Can you tell me what Mr. Kobayashi's natural ability is?"

"Hmm!"

Everyone swallowed unconsciously.

As expected, he didn't fool them?

The expression under the helmet could not be seen, but the eyes full of wisdom seemed to tell them that he had seen through this trick long ago.

What should I do, should I say it out?

Lukrut smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my head hurts from time to time..."

"It's okay, Lukrut brother."

The one who interrupted him was Kobayashi who sat up straight with his hands covering his forehead.

"My innate ability, which I call [Goddess's Wisdom], can indirectly receive unknown knowledge, including but not limited to martial arts, magic, and potions, but more about arithmetic, philosophy, and politics, and sometimes I will unconsciously blurt out strange words."

"...Is that what you want to hide?"

"Sorry, it's because Brother Peter and Brother Lukrut are too worried about me. I hope Mr. Momo won't blame them."

"No, this is a private matter after all, and it's understandable to want to hide it. I don't mean to be angry."

Although he said so, Momo clenched his hands tightly under the table.

Is it a natural ability? Or is Xiaolin a time traveler or a reincarnator like himself, but he lost his memory for some reason?

He didn't know, but he had a strong hunch that it was the latter. It might just be some kind of expectation and fantasy in his heart, but he was willing to verify this uncertain guess, because isn't the island country most famous for traveling to another world and reincarnation?

Just like him!
