Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Am I still late.

Noah pondered.

Last night, the bandit leader, the youngest son of the Andrew family, was still wearing armor when he died.Today, the armor on his body is gone.

Was it taken by some other money-grubbing robber or something?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, so Noah returned to the camp and observed carefully.There were no extra footprints, and the tables and chairs were neatly placed in the open space, and the iron tableware and wine jugs were not taken away.

These items are much more valuable than armor, and armor empire armor is very troublesome to deal with.

Noah went to the back warehouse again, and the lock of the warehouse was intact.He took out the chain hammer, smashed the lock, and pushed open the warehouse door.

There was a damp musty smell in the warehouse, piled on both sides with grain and some exquisite utensils and luxurious cloths. They not only robbed the village, but also stopped passers-by in the Veteri Valley.

Noah took a few bolts of valuable cloth and furs at random, and while stacking them on Dilo's back, he thought: If the nearby farmers or robbers came, they would not let go of the grain in the warehouse.So the result is already obvious, someone took away the bandit leader's armor after they left.

He carefully recalled the news about the Andrew family.However, Noah was very ignorant about this matter, and the Andrew family could not form any impression in his mind.

Noah clicked his tongue lightly, if something happened, just push it to Aldrich.

He rode Dillo out of the Veteri valley, and quickly returned to the main road. Aldrich was standing by the side of the carriage, looking in his direction.

Seeing Noah come back, Aldrich raised his hand and waved it high. Noah squinted his eyes, and he saw a person standing beside Aldrich.

Noah quickly returned to the carriage, and Aldrich helped him off the horse, and then began to put on the harness for Dilo.

The expensive and luxurious fabrics on Dilo's back were also packed by him. Aldrich asked curiously, "What are these?"

"Remuneration." Noah said casually, and then began to observe the strangers around Aldrich.It was a tall, thin middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe, with a dark complexion, thick hair and eyebrows, gentle eyes, and looked easy to get along with.

Looking at Noah at the middle-aged man, Aldridge introduced, "This is His Excellency Daniel Owen."

Daniel Owen said to Noah very enthusiastically: "Your Excellency Missionary, hello, I am a traveling businessman!"

He stretched out his hand and took a step forward, his tall body was very oppressive, and his gray eyes stared at Noah.

"May the God of Light bless you." Noah showed him a missionary smile, and drew a circle and triangle with both hands, so he couldn't shake hands with Daniel.

Then he quietly watched Aldridge harness the carriage, without saying a word, neither asked Daniel why he appeared here, whether Aldrich knew him, nor took the opportunity to preach the teachings of the God of Light.

This caught Daniel, who had prepared a lot, by surprise.

He tried to open the subject: "Mr. Preacher, do you know that there is a band of robbers in the Val de Verteri?"

"Is there?" Noah said sadly: "They must have lost their faith. Just let them believe in the God of Light, and the abundance of their hearts and the precepts of the church will not let them do such evil things again."

Daniel nodded in agreement, and said: "They are all a bunch of unbelievers. A few days ago, I was driving a carriage on this road, and I met that group of robbers. They robbed my goods and horses. I'm stuck here with nowhere to go and haven't eaten for two days..."

Noah prayed devoutly for him again: "May the God of Light bless you."

Daniel looked at him expectantly.

Noah smiled back.

Daniel: That's it?

He opened his mouth and said, "Fortunately, I met Mr. Missionary, I am very happy..."

Before Daniel finished speaking, he heard Noah say, "There's nothing to be happy about."

Just when Aldrich was ready, Noah got into the carriage, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and said, "Let's go."

Dilo ran happily.

"Wait!" Daniel stared dumbfounded at the back of the carriage, and hurried a few steps to catch up.However, Dilo ran faster and faster. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he rolled up his robe and ran wildly, regardless of his manners.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Missionary!" Daniel shouted as he ran.

Aldrich looked back hesitantly, and said to Noah: "He seems to have something to say, should we wait for him?"

Wait until he spins a crude lie to fool me?Noah let Dilo run for a while, and seeing that Daniel seemed to be unable to catch up, he said, "Then stop and wait for him."

If the other party is coming for him, it's better to see what this Daniel wants to do.

Daniel caught up with the carriage panting, losing his previous calm look.Noah lifted the curtain of the car, smiled and said to him: "His Excellency Daniel Owen, is there anything else?"

Daniel looked up at him in disbelief. Hearing about the tragic experience of a traveling businessman, did the missionary have no idea of ​​helping him at all?Who would let the wretch who hadn't eaten for two days run after the carriage? !

At this moment, Daniel's dislike for the Church of Light was at an all-time high, and what he hated the most was naturally the smiling missionary in front of him.

"I need your help." Daniel looked at Noah expectantly: "I lost all my goods and carriages, and I didn't have any food. I wandered on this desolate path for a long time. Fortunately, I met you, respected preacher Your Excellency, it must be the guidance of the God of Light that let me see you. If possible, please take me for a ride."

Noah asked, "Where are you going?"

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "The next city, Banyaf City. As long as you arrive at Banyaf City, it will be fine."

Noah covered his mouth and thought for a moment, then asked, "Your Excellency Daniel, do you still have any money with you?"

"...Money?" Daniel looked at his expression and realized that if he had no money, he might not be able to get in the carriage.He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Noah smiled slightly and reached out to him.

Daniel took out two Shilan silver coins, and then took out another Shilan silver coin under Noah's unyielding gaze.

After paying the equivalent of four bottles of malt wine and six chickens, Daniel finally got into the carriage.

Noah put the Shi Lan silver coin into his arms in front of his face, and then began to read without saying a word.

Daniel moved his buttocks and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at, Missionary?"

"The Holy Book of Light." Noah closed the book, revealing the bronzing cover and the patterned font on it: "We need to always listen to the teachings of the Lord and comprehend the will of God."

Daniel asked: "I don't know if I can read this book?"

Noah didn't give him the book, but sat up slightly and asked, "Traveling merchants usually believe in the god of luck or the god of loops, right?"

Daniel blinked: "I used to believe in the God of Luck, but after being exposed to the teachings of the God of Light, I think the God of Light is the only god worthy of belief. I have always wanted to join the Church of Light."

"That's really a wise choice." Noah said: "When you arrive in Banyaf City, you can find the local Temple of Light to join the Light God Religion and become a follower of God. Let me tell you, Your Excellency, you have All virtues, honesty, bravery, sincerity, luck, are rare."

Daniel twitched the corner of his mouth.

He looked out from inside the carriage and asked, "It only takes three days from here to Banyaf City, right?"

Noah shook his head: "Three days is not enough, we still need to rest in the villages on the road, and spread the sacred scriptures of the God of Light to them. If this continues, it will take at least ten days."

Daniel couldn't sit still.

Noah looked at his expression, and then said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, we have prepared enough food, and you won't be hungry along the way."

Daniel forced a smile: "That's not what I'm worried about. My home is in the city of Banyaf. I was supposed to go back tomorrow. It's been a long time, and I'm afraid my family will worry about it."

"Isn't this a common thing for traveling merchants? Accidents and tragedies will happen where the God of Light cannot watch." Noah handed him the "Book of Light" in his hand: "If you feel uneasy If so, you can use this to calm down."

Daniel took the book from his hand, and when Noah let go of his hand completely, the unimaginable weight caused Daniel's wrist to sink suddenly.

"?!"

It was really too heavy, as if it was a heavy stone, and the "Book of Light" fell down the moment it was handed over to Daniel.Daniel took a breath, and before he could react, he saw a slender and beautiful hand firmly catching the "Book of Light".

The owner of that hand raised his head, took the "Bright Holy Book" back, and said with a smile: "It seems that Your Excellency Daniel is not ready to read the "Bright Holy Book", maybe you can try to read it from "The Beginning of Light" , that book is more suitable for you."

Daniel rubbed his wrist. When the "Book of Light" fell from his hand, his wrist made a crisp sound, and it still hurts faintly.

And Noah was sitting opposite him, holding the book with one hand, and sometimes stroking his chin with the other hand, and sometimes turning over the paper.

It was as if the weight he felt just now was fake!

"This book..." Daniel glanced at the "Book of Light" and asked in confusion, "Why is it so heavy?"

Judging from the material, it is just ordinary paper.

Noah raised his head, turned the book upside down with one hand, and said, "Because there is real power in this book."

"...Power?" Daniel smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Does it give people the power of faith?"

Noah shook his head, and said softly: "Everyone is born unequal. Some people walk in the light, while others hide in dark corners. Some people live without worries, while others live like dogs. Some people are admired, while others are scolded. "

Daniel's face became slightly dignified.

Noah stroked the "Bright Holy Book": "But this book can make everyone an equal existence."
