The Former Hero Heads for the Adventurer’s Guild

Their plan was set, but the group could not simply leap into action. Allen wouldn’t have minded either way, but they had to remain in town for at least ten days. It made sense to establish a base of operations—that is to say, figure out where they would be staying.

This, however, caused another problem: Allen had no money.

“I suppose I should have known,” said Beatrice.

“I never thought I’d need money here,” he admitted.

The Frontier was where lawless people gathered. Allen had assumed this meant there was no currency; but of course, in a town of this size, that would be impossible. Or perhaps the need for currency was due to the presence of the Adventurer’s Guild. Adventurers would likely not accept payment in goods, and payment in currency would be useless if there was nowhere to spend it. Adventurers tended to be profligate spenders and a great source of income for tradesmen. Moreover, any place that had the support of royalty, however discreet that support and however remote the location, was sure to have a means of exchanging money for goods.

“What were you planning on doing, exactly?” asked Riese.

“I guess I thought I could barter. I figured as long as I could hunt animals and monsters for their meat, I could get by,” Allen replied.

At worst, he could at least eat the meat, and his Boundless Knowledge could find wild vegetables, so he would never want for food. Boundless Knowledge could be used to ascertain which flora and fauna were edible, although using it in that way might displease its original owner.

Similarly, Parallel Wisdom could bring forth unlimited water, so starvation and dehydration would never be a concern. There was even a forest not far from town, where—since it was not currently the cold season—he could sleep without risk of freezing. Even without money, he could always eke out a reasonable life for himself.

On the other hand, now that they were in a real town, Allen didn’t feel any particular inclination toward a survivalist lifestyle.

“Since you’re helping us, we’d be happy to pay you,” Riese offered.

“That’s right. You deserve a sizable payment for all the help you’ve lent us already,” Beatrice agreed.

“Nah, I can’t take advantage of you like that.” Allen might have wanted a peaceful life, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to work. And he definitely didn’t want to be dependent on Beatrice and Riese. Besides, he might not have had money, but that didn’t mean he had nothing in mind.

Taking care not to let anyone else see, Allen produced a hidden object. The women’s initial looks of surprise quickly turned to smiles.

“Ah...that,” said Riese.

“I see. You’ve got this all figured out, eh?” Beatrice commented.

Allen shrugged. This should help him make some money.

“Hmm. This place looks like more of a professional operation than I expected. I thought there’d be a much rougher vibe here,” Allen mused.

“To be honest, I did too,” said Riese. “I expected a much scarier place.”
