It's Time to Go
In the end, I ended up hearing the same story with Grandpa Malberk.
When Marberk met Bear-san, he exchanged a light smile and started talking without saying anything.
In the middle of the meeting, when he heard that I would participate, his eyebrows wrinkled, but other than that, he listened silently.
He probably understands my usefulness because I use [Recovery Magic] in the knight order, but as a Grandpa, he probably regrets it.
However, as the commander of the knights, he probably agrees with my participation as the lord's son and as an excellent recovery personnel.
A few exchanges went well, but the meeting ended smoothly, and each of them dispersed for preparations.
Immediately after the meeting, I returned to the mansion, ate some food, and then went to sleep. I had an early start tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning. The knights and adventurers met at the east gate of the capital before the sun rose.
The knights numbered 30 mounted on horseback.
On the other hand, six parties of adventurers, a total of 32 people, will travel by horse-drawn wagons.
This time, the knights will be commanded by the vice-commander, and Malberk, the knight commander, will remain in the capital.
The adventurers will be led by Beatrice, a former B-rank adventurer. Originally, it should have been Dagor-san, a B-rank adventurer, who was still active, but since he had not yet regained consciousness, Bear-san was forced to take the command.
The other adventurers were ranked C on average. Although their strength may be a little low, they are the best among the adventurers in the territory.
To be honest, the adventurers in this territory are of a low level. Normally, there should be more B-rank adventurers, but B-rank adventurers cannot make a living in this territory.
First of all, there are many small prey.
Goblins, horn rabbits, and wolves are the main ones, with orcs appearing only rarely. The materials are all cheap.
Second, the Baron offers no preferential treatment to adventurers. All items that can make the difference between life and death for adventurers, such as potions, are paid for out of their pocket, and there are no subsidies for housing. In the case of other Baron territories, the Baron bears a percentage of the cost of potions and the cost of a base of operations for settling in the territory.
Originally, it was natural for the territory adjacent to the [Demon Forest] to somehow secure excellent adventurers, but it seems that the Baron Garcia family, a former central bureaucrat, did not have this in mind.
For that reason, most of the adventurers in this Baron territory are from the territory and already own their own homes, and most of them have no trouble living on a daily income.
By the way, the reason Dagor-san, who is B rank, is in this Baron territory is because he has a house and family in the capital.
The reason I know this story is that among the adventurers participating in this exploration expedition was Dagor-san's party, that is, the people who had recovered from their injuries yesterday.
We met again in the carriage on the way to the pioneer village, and they expressed their gratitude to me as soon as we met.
In particular, the man who had tried to grab me, whose name was Besty, apologized to me in every way.
And the [Item User] I had been wondering about was a woman named Celia.
Immediately, I copied the [Item User] skill.
That's why, on the way to the pioneer village, I ended up listening to them about the adventurer's situation and talking with them in a trivial way.
Now, going back in time to the present.
In front of the east gate, the Guild master is giving a message to the adventurers.
"The unidentified monster discovered this time is extremely powerful and poses a threat not only to the pioneer village but also to the capital. The fact that Dagor was seriously wounded should tell you that. It pains me to entrust you with the heavy responsibility of searching for and subjugating the monster, but this time, not only the Knights, but also the excellent healer mage, Light-sama, has agreed to cooperate with us. I believe that with the cooperation of them, the Knights, and Light-sama, this threat will be cleared up. I am not saying that everyone should not get hurt. I am waiting for you to come back to the capital alive and safe. Good luck! That is all!"
After the speech was over, everyone got into their carriages with high spirits.
While I'm looking at them...
I was thinking about the scenery outside the capital for the first time.
Thanks for the chapter
