The Hero in Exile

"My name is Will, you can come to me if you need anything."

Will seemed a little shy, and for a man he did lack that kind of courage. The main reason was that the people here looked a little more fierce. From the look of him wearing glasses, you could tell that he was a gentle and refined person. He looked more suitable to be a teacher. I really didn't understand why he came here to suffer.

Lingyu himself knew that he had no right to comment on others, but the only bit of male pride in his heart still made him look down on this man.

"We are adventurers from the Empire, and we just want to try our luck here." Moran took out the adventure card and showed it to Will: "We just want to ask if there are any tasks suitable for our level here."

"Hey, look at that silver material, it seems to be C-grade."

“I really can’t tell.”

A weak and arrogant woman heard what others said and took it out confidently. This was a way for her to vent her anger and let these people see what it meant not to judge a person by his appearance.

"I don't understand how these two who are so weak can still be C. How can we Bs survive?"

"Yeah, maybe it depends on connections."

Someone quietly put the adventure card back. Moran ignored what others were saying and chose from the task list given by Lunst.

"Isn't there any shorter missions?" Moran looked at the missions, almost all of which were about escorting caravans to other cities. Doing the missions here would only allow him to better understand the situation before asking for help from the orcs. As for going to other cities, he had never thought about it.

When I turned to the end, I finally found a different task, which was to monitor the hunter on the edge of the city. The introduction below said that this hunter came here about half a year ago, and usually lived alone in a wooden house. Someone had reported that he had contact with the orcs.

"Please help me with this task."

Will took the mission sheet and began to recall: "Originally, the city lord wanted to send someone who could stealth, but I heard that he received a big order from the empire and didn't come. We are also short of manpower here and all of us are warriors who can't stealth, so we haven't accepted this mission since last week."

When Lingyu heard that there were people from the Empire sneaking in, she immediately remembered who they were. Of course they wouldn't come. They were almost wiped out there, so what could they do?

"Haha, is that so? I'm lucky that both she and I can stealth. Let's continue." Moran also showed an abnormal expression.

"Yes, I'm lucky, ahem." Lingyu also agreed.

Seeing the strange looks on the two men's faces, Will was speechless for a moment, but when he thought about the increasing number of cases on his hands recently and that this was also a task assigned by the city lord, he gave it to the two men without thinking much.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Just observe for a week and tell us his movements and whether he has contacted the orcs." Lunster remembered something and added, "And his house is outside the west gate. Follow the main road for about 200 meters and you'll see a small wooden house."

"Got it. Wait for my news in a week." Moran said and stood up.

"Finally there is work to do." His back was sore after waiting for Moran for so long, so he stretched, stood up and followed behind.

This trip was quite fruitful for Moran. If the hunter he talked about was really connected with the orcs as he said, he could also use this opportunity to get in touch with the orcs. Although this was a border town of the Lionheart Kingdom, he couldn't leave the city and go to the wilderness like a headless fly to look for the orcs. That would be too unscientific.

Even if the chance is very low, at least it still exists. If you can't make the call, then getting the money without contacting me is also a good thing.

"Hey Moran, are you going tonight?"

"Yeah, remember to get a tent or something, it'll be there for the next few days."

"Ah!" Lingyu cried out reluctantly, but there was nothing she could do.

I've only slept in my big bed for one day and now I have to leave you again.

Come to think of it, the situation between Lingyu and I has been going on for a year now, which is quite a coincidence.
