The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

23. You can make a fortune

***

Since I returned to the city, I have continued to make requests every single day. Worked and worked and worked again. It was because I believed that with the swordsman’s skills, and with the newly obtained weapons and armor, I would be able to do it without any problems.

In fact, I was able to complete the request without any problems, and I was able to obtain 100,000 elso in less than a month.

If there is a problem…….

‘There is no mission.’

It’s not every day that you have a mission. It wasn’t that there were things I needed urgently or monsters that interfered with people’s passage didn’t appear that often.

After completing three or four missions in one morning and close to a hundred missions in a month— people no longer urgently needed something or suffered inconvenience from monsters.

To make money through hunting, materials used in daily life and always in high demand were very cheap, and monsters with expensive materials ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of elso could not be found overnight, no matter how much I was. Did not exist.

I figured out that it would take at least two years to pay off all my debts if things went on like this, and I slumped on the table with my head wrapped around my head.

‘I can’t do this. Something that only made a fortune…….’

“Oh, who is this? Not Evan!”

As I was wrapping my head around thinking about how to pay off my debt, someone plopped down next to me. When I turned my head slightly, there was a long-eared elf sitting there. I can’t remember the name, but it’s definitely Rinia-senpai’s…….

“Ah-! Did you forget my name?”

“…… No.”

“Then tell me my name!”

“…… Iris?”

“What kind of woman is that?”

She burst out laughing and said my name.

“Anes, Agnes. If you forget next time, I won’t forgive you!”

“Oh, yes. Mr Agnes.”

“More than that- what is our Evan doing here alone?”

As Agnes said, she began to scan my face thoroughly. I felt as if the gun-filled elf’s gaze was piercing my eyes and peering into them.

“What a troubled expression.”

“Yes… Well, I have a little trouble.”

“What is it?”

“I need money… ….”

“What is it, it’s not a big deal than I thought! Ahahahaha!”

Anes, who heard my concerns, burst into laughter and laughed loudly. She wondered if I should let her know that even a light worry can become heavy when the amount is around 2.5 Million elso.

However, Agnes was quicker to open her mouth.

“Money can be earned quickly by becoming an advanced adventurer!”

“Ah, yes… ….”

“Looking at that reaction, what is it, our Evan is still a low-class adventurer?”

“No, I was promoted.”

“Already? It’s fast. Are you intermediate? Or senior?”

As if knowing something, Agnes asked about my rank. I, who had been enveloped in melancholy until just a moment ago, felt a little low excitement and put my hand in my bosom.

And the plaque I received from the guild leader. That’s why I took out the limited edition adventurer’s card.

Agnes, who saw my hand, tilted his head and asked again.

“What is this?”

“My adventurer card.”

“Didn’t I get something wrong? Why is the color like this…….”

Anes took the adventurer’s card, which was shining in a slightly muddy color, and after reading the letters branded on the adventurer’s card, she stiffened and began to look at my face and the card alternately.

As I watched her eyes roll back and forth, I smiled and retrieved the tile in her hand.

“T, Express? What is it. Was there such a grade?”

“They said they would give it to me specially.”

“No, what is that…… Evan, what are you saying?”

“Oh, I got this one too.”

I naturally handed over the title card of the Sword Saint. State-certified swordsmanship master. In fact, a plaque that proves the title given only to the best among swordsmen.

When Agnes saw that card, she fell in surprise even more than the limited-class adventurer card she had seen before. The special adventurer group did not exist, but the title of Sword Saint was one of the titles that had been handed down from the past.

“Even so, the swordsman…….”

“Hmm- such a surprising tidy.”

“That much! Of course more than that! What kind of person was your former swordsman…… !”

“Eek, have you ever met the previous swordsman? The guild leader said that. It hasn’t been out for over a hundred years.”

“Of course, how old am I?”

In the midst of being surprised at the fact that the young beauty in front of her was her grandmother, who was over a hundred years old, Agnes, who realized that I was a swordsman and a first-class adventurer, salivated for a moment and thought about something about her.

After finishing her thoughts for a moment, she pointed her finger at me and opened her mouth.

“You said you needed money earlier, right?”

“Yes? Yes. I do need it.”

“I have a job to earn a lot of money. Do you want to join me?”

“…… What is it?”

“Exploring dungeons.”

My interest was piqued.

Dungeon.

Unlike labyrinths, which are supernatural spaces that are created naturally, these are spaces artificially created by emperors, dragons, and archmages of fallen empires.

It is a tomb, a rarity, and a secret laboratory. Thanks to this, the dungeons untouched by others were also called treasure chests of riches.

Most of them are hidden or in very dangerous places, so it’s usually difficult to find, let alone access.

“I recently went out on a quest and found a dungeon. The mage on our team said it would be a dungeon made by a very skilled mage.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I sneaked in, but at our level, it was a bit dangerous. So, I sealed it so that it would not be seen by others and came back.”

“I need more colleagues, and that is me?”

“Reliable vanguards are not easily available.”

From noble mtl dot com

Anes, to be precise, Rania’s party, the White Wolf, was a party of four high-level adventurers. The composition consisted of warriors, mages, archers, and clergy—a truly golden-ratio party—but that was a purely theoretical story when everyone acted perfectly without making any mistakes.

“Right now, we have a weak avant-garde. Of course, it’s not that Lainia lacks skills, but…… It’s true that I’m anxious to trust only one Rainia.”

What if another monster appears while hunting one monster? What if you get attacked from behind? Their party, which has only one avant-garde, is in danger in an instant.

An opinion was slowly emerging that another vanguard was needed to prevent this kind of danger——Evan was the god of the vanguard who appeared just in time.

“But why do you trust me? Could I be a bad person?”

“The person who says that is unlikely to be a bad person…… Above all, you know when you see it.”

“If you see it, you know what it is… ….”

Agnes didn’t talk behind her back and just smiled. I tried to swallow the words that I guessed that Evan, who smelled of pity, wouldn’t be evil enough to deceive others.

Evan felt uncomfortable with her smile, but the offer she offered was too alluring to refuse.

“…… I will.”

“It was good-. Then I’ll tell her colleagues. By the way—what did you do to get into debt, so you say you need money even though you’re a first-class adventurer?”

“I was making some weapons… ….”

“Really? How much did she spend?”

“2.5 Million L cost.”

“Yes, 2.5 Million…… How much?”

“2.5 Million elso.”

2.5 Million elso. Upon hearing the amount, Agnes opened her mouth.

If you consider that the cost of living for an ordinary family of four is about 1,000 elso per month, the amount Evan owes is the cost of living that an ordinary family cannot spend even in a lifetime, and it is enough money for 10,000 people to live on for a month. .

It was not an amount an individual could owe. Debt is also her ability, and the fact that she owed that much debt means that Evan decided that he could ‘pay back’ that much debt.

‘Right now, the money I earned last month was only 10,000 elso… ….’

Her advanced adventurer, she has been working for over several decades, and she has to save all that money to earn. Considering that she’s an elf, even for her, decades is not a short period of time—really, a ridiculous amount.

“To owe such an amount…… And how did you get the title of Sword Saint? I’m more curious about that.”

“Ah, that means catching a dragon… ….”

“Dragon!? Catching a dragon…… Huh? No wait.”

After hearing Evan’s words, Agnes realized that something was wrong with her. Dragon. A very powerful creature that even she, who has lived for over hundreds of years, has only seen her captured a few times.

As such, dragon materials are traded at exorbitant prices. If you compare the auction price of the most recently traded dragon she knows with the current price—

‘Even if I can’t do it, it will be around 15 million elso…… ?’

Even if I used only half of that amount, the debt would have been forgiven. Agnes tilted her head, as if she couldn’t understand, and asked Evan why he became her debtor.

“What about the corpse?”

“That…… Here.”

Evan pointed at the items he was carrying with a slightly confused expression. A necklace with a key, a sword, and leather armor.

It looked like new, but did you really think it was all made from dragon corpses? Even Agnes had never seen anything like it.

Anes was a little exclamation, but there were still many questions.

“You used it all to make one?”

“…… The craftsman who made it is a bit of an eccentric person.”

“What does that have to do with being cranky?”

“They make a weapon and break it if they don’t like it.”

“What?”

Evan remembered Ymir when he was making weapons. He used 30% of the bones to learn how to smelt them, 50% of the bones to increase his skill level, and 20% of the bones to make Evan’s sword.

In the process of making it like that, whenever Ymir didn’t like the finished product, he scrapped the weapon and made a new one, and Evan watched the entire process and praised his craftsmanship.

As much as I didn’t know that I used my own money to buy the materials that go into every time I scrap a weapon and make a new one. Had I known, I would have dried it.

“…… What about leather?”

“Leather is similar… ….”

“Isn’t there meat, a heart, and other organs?”

“I sold my muscles and organs, but it was worth tens of thousands of elso, I exchanged my heart for a key, and I ate meat…… I tried it and everything was delicious…….”

“Crazy.”

Even things exchanged with things I ate can be said to be so. But the dragon’s meat was delicious and I ate it all? Do you know what that is like?

It was only then that Agnes remembered the fact that Evan in front of her was an ignorant child.

‘…… It’s okay to use it as a vanguard, right?’

Maybe it will be fine. That’s right – it’s because it’s as good as it is.

…… I had to believe that it would be okay.

The next day.

Evan faced his face again with the White Wolf party members.

“Lainia!”

“Evan, long time no see.”

Lainia grinned at Evan, who decided to take over her vanguard. Because there was no doubt about his skill.

Rania, who introduced Evan to her colleagues, on the contrary, introduced Evan to her colleagues on this trip.

“This is Agnes, the elf archer you know.”

“Yeah-!”

“This is the wizard of our party. Now.”

“…… Please take good care of me.”

“And the priest in charge of healing the party.”

“Please call me Sister.”

Rainia, who introduced all the members of the White Wolf, additionally pointed to a temporary member hired only for this adventure.

“Lastly, it is Rogue, the thief who will be in charge of guiding and disarming traps.”

“Call me Rogue Sister.”

Rogue, who was dressed like a thief, looked at Evan and his eyes flashed. Evan felt goosebumps run down her spine as she licked her lips.

For some reason, I felt like I was going to lose something precious.
