Chapter 272: A Beautiful Night (1)
This is how adventurers respond if you ask them about Leeb-An City.
The city where adventure starts, the city that loves adventures!
Leeb-An City was a place that stimulated your desire for adventure.
It was fine once you got used to it, but for those visiting for the first time, it was easy to get shocked by this city that had businesses, mercenaries, and other adventure-related areas being so developed.
This was the case for this beginner adventurer named Bob as well.
“Wow.”
Now that he was twenty years old, he took his first step as an adventurer.
Leeb-An City truly is amazing!
Small cities usually only had one or two inns, however, Leeb-An City had numerous inns in the plaza alone.
The beginner adventurer looked at the clock tower in the central plaza.
2 pm.
He needed to find an inn to spend the night.
Bob, who had been looking forward to his first night in Leeb-An City, looked around before heading toward a place.
Oh! I like the name of that inn!
He mumbled the name written on the sign as he headed toward it.
“Hope and Adventure Loving Inn!”
It also said, grand opening, next to the sign.
He liked the inn name and the fact that it was having a grand opening. For a beginner adventurer like him who was just starting off in Leeb-An City, he thought that it was a very fitting inn to start his journey.
However, Bob had to stop in front of the inn. He could see that the building looked clean and nice.
He thought about his shabby outfit, his old, second-hand bag, as well as the small amount of coins he had in his pocket.
It was at that moment.
“Welcome.”
The employee at the entrance greeted him.
The beginner adventurer who had been hesitant felt relieved after seeing the honest expression on the employee’s face.
He quietly asked the employee a question.
“This is your grand opening?”
Bob looked toward the honest-looking employee who seemed to be from a mountain village like himself as he waited for a response. The employee, who was indeed from a mountain village, well, mountain bandit group to be correct, realized that he found a prey and started to speak.
Youll be receiving a glove if you don’t memorize it correctly.
The former mountain bandit recalled Beacroxs glove as he warmly responded back.
“Yes, today is our opening day. We are providing a cup of beer and a plate of smoked chicken for free to all visitors.”
“Oh! How wonderful! Thats enough for a meal!”
Bob was someone who played along well.
“You are correct. It is our grand opening event for the next week. In addition, we are doing a fifty percent discount for all guests who stay with us this first month.”
“Ohhhhhhhh!”
“Finally, unlike other inns, we are providing towels and other toiletries free of charge!”
“Ohhhhhhhh, how amazing!”
Someone interjected as the mountain bandit and Bob’s conversation continued.
“Isnt it? This is a great inn.”
Bob looked toward the handsome man with short hair who suddenly appeared. Cale gently responded to Bob’s gaze that seemed to be asking who he was.
“I am an employee of the inn.”
“Ah, I see. I didnt know because you were not wearing a uniform.”
“That is not a problem. I couldnt help but interject because I saw a cool adventurer-nim.”
A cool adventurer. That description made Bob start to smile widely.
“Hahahaha! Do I seem like that? I am still just a beginner!”
“My goodness. I thought you were a young and talented adventurer-nim, but if you are just a beginner, I cant help but imagine how famous you will be in the future.”
Bobs shoulders slowly started to go up.
On the other hand, the mountain bandit could not help but get chills while watching this new side of Cale.
This person can act like such a friendly employee?!
Cale reached his hand out to Bob.
Bob grabbed on as it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Cale naturally led Bob inside the inn entrance as he continued to speak.
“I am happy to host a future great adventurer-nim in our inn. I think you will be very famous in the future, can you please tell me your name?”
“Hahahaha! Thank you for the exaggerated compliment. Well, my name is Bob! I will definitely be famous in the future!”
Bob.
That name made Cale think about Toonka, however, he casually handed the adventurer’s hand to the employee inside and responded back.
“Mr. Bob, I hope this is the start of an amazing adventure for you.”
“Thank you very much.”
Bob walked into the inn filled with joy.
He felt as if he had already become an amazing adventurer.
Cale watched Bob, Choi Han, who was helping with the serving on the first floor, and Beacrox, who was dressed as a chef and heading for the kitchen, as he turned around. The mountain bandit gulped after seeing Cales face instantly turn stoic once he turned around.
Pat. Pat.
Cale patted the employee on the shoulder. The employee stiffened up at Cales slow patting, however, Cale was actually praising him.
“You’re doing well. Keep it up.”
Pat. Pat.
The mountain bandit vigorously nodded his head.
Cale was satisfied with this response. He heard Raon’s voice in his head.
We are earning money! M, m, more money! They said you start with a speck of dust but end up with a Dragon’s Lair! I’m going to earn enough to fill a Dragon’s Lair!
Vicious.
Cale ignored Raon’s comments. However, he soon heard an ancient power’s voice.
Hehehe, throwing money aroundSo happySo preciousCant wait to see all that money being thrown around.
The Fire of Destruction seemed to be slowly getting crazier.
Cale feared this cheapskate fiery thunderbolt for a different reason than why he feared Raon. The problem was that he felt the same way.
Money was precious.
Cale looked toward the person approaching him and started to speak.
“Lets go.”
“Yes, young master-nim.”
His servant Ron followed him with a relaxed smile on his face.
There was somewhere Cale needed to go with Ron on this grand opening day.
“Time to go to City Hall?”
“Yes sir, I will guide you there.”
The City Hall was located at the center of Leeb-An City. They needed to go inform the city of their business opening.
The mountain bandit employee next to Cale looked at Cale in confusion and Cale responded back with a smile.
“We are law abiding citizens. We love the law.”
The mountain bandit avoided Cale’s smile.
Scary people!
None of the mercenaries had come to the inn’s grand opening.
The people who would go crazy for free beer were nowhere to be found.
Why?
It was because, Arm, had touched the mercenaries pride.
Of course, it was not the real
