Three people are walking on a road. We arrived at a highway-like road slightly away from the place we fought the goblins earlier.
Right now we're heading toward "Gramada" city.
It seems to be the second largest city in this Taikun Principality, and these two's activities are usually centered around the city. The city's most peculiar characteristic is that there are several country-managed dungeons near it.
Dungeons produce monsters and generates treasures out of nothing to lure people into them. Dungeons then absorb the lured people and grow, ultimately, monsters will overflow outside, causing great disasters. Thus, cleaning up monsters inside dungeons is a needed business in areas where dungeons exist.
And when one takes total control of the Dungeon Core that exists in the lowest part of a dungeon, they can stop the dungeon's growth and make it so only weak monsters appear. In other word, it's the most optimal environment for a beginner adventurer.
By the way, in case the core gets destroyed, that dungeon will disappear (apparently the people inside will be forcefully ejected outside).
There are multiple unexplored dungeons around Gramada, adventurers from beginners to veterans have gathered in this city. Thus it's called the "Town of Adventurers", apparently it's quite prosperous.
It's the most suitable city for someone aimless like me. A town called the Town of Adventurers should have various info and documents.
Especially if you're planning to make a killing in dungeons, it's the best place. Because it seems there are occasions where defeated monsters drop treasures or item. The deeper the floor, the stronger the monsters, the higher the probability of them dropping good stuff. Of course it's not that sweet of a deal, as it means you're playing with death or something even worse. Like getting enslaved by monsters while you still have awareness.... Even with all the danger, adventurers going inside dungeons never ceases to exist.
Well, since I also seek strength and money, I would most likely go into one too. In my case, the less people see me doing stuff, the better anyway.
I listened to the two while we were walking.
The two are sisters, Futsuno-san is the elder one. Mitama is her half younger sister. Futsuno-san was the child from her mother's previous marriage.
The relation in the family seemed to be quite good, however, their parents passed away from epidemic around one year ago. That's why they sympathized with my false setting. I'm sorry for that random story.... I didn't mean any harm.
Afterward, it seems the two lived together for a while, but some bad bug creped on these young beautiful sisters.
The third son of the territory lord who were inspecting their village by chance set his eyes on the two. So they really exist, these rotten nobles.
The stupid brat threatened the village elder to give him the sisters, but the elder was a friend of their parents and he secretly gave them traveling expenses and let them escape.
The two decided to be adventures after getting out of the village. Since they didn't know when the stupid brat's pursuers would come at them.
Thankfully, due to the Miko class Futsuno-san learned from her mother, and Hunter class Mitama's father taught her, it didn't take too long until they adapted to adventurer's lifestyle.
They settled in the town around three months ago. Apparently, they judged that the pursuers wouldn't come to a big city far from their hometown.
"Wonder why ya, I usually didn't talk about this stuff. I did since Nobu-san, our lifesaver, asked, but don't go telling it to other people 'kay?"
Not a word my lady, it's a secret between you and me. The slightly bashful Futsuno-san was too cute, my heart skipped a beat.
I hurriedly change the topic since my face feels like it'll redden.
This is a rare chance, so I'm gonna ask Futsuno-san some things I have in mind.
"This is the first time I heard Soul Stones, what are they?"
"Soul Stones are crystals generated inside the body, its size and color changes depending on the owner's strength and magic power. The Soul Stones we got from the goblins earlier are the lowest ranked Soul Stones ya see. Monsters weaker than them won't leave a Soul Stone as it gets destroyed along with them."
Guess the stone gets destroyed in case of Moss Balls, no trace at all. What a joke.
Soul Stones are needed to run Magic Tools so they're always on demand. Thus it makes up for the majority of an adventurer's income.
Soul Stones goes from Black the lowest, to Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple, and then White. Rarely there's even rainbow colored Soul Stones. It's rainbow since it shines in seven color, it's very rare and sought after as ornament by nobles and such, thus it's very very expensive.
Looks like the size changes depending on the owner's strength and magic power, the stronger they are the bigger the stones.
"Come to think of it, you were surprised about Housework Lv5, but is it that high? I don't understand that part, could you teach me?"
"It's the same with every skill, think Lv5 is about Skilled. I can tell ya some vague comparison, but don't expect a detailed explanation 'kay."
Futsuno-san tabulated it as such.
Lv1 Beginner
Lv2 Novice
Lv3 Professional
Lv4 Expert
Lv5 Skilled Adventurer Grade
Lv6 Knight Captain Grade
Lv7 King Grade
Lv8 Hero Grade
Lv9 Demon Lord Grade
Lv10 God Grade
Yup, how do I take this. Well, individual differences exist even if they have the same skill at the same level, for now, I should just treat it as a target.
That reminds me, I wonder what does other people's status look like. Even though I understand it's not a good thing to do, I'm deeply curious.
Three si.... No no, that's bad. But, I stealthily appraise....
