Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 134
Jess and the Moonlight Foal orc, who looked mysterious but was obviously brought by Roschinke, were confronting each other in the courtyard. The two were about to start a fight, but Xu Jun ignored them. He held Rance's hand and led John, the butler, Alice, and Grynn upstairs. "Let's go to Steamed Bun's room. Are you guys done?"
John felt that today was the worst day he had ever been a butler. "Mr. Steamed Bun's room … is …?"
Eh?
Why would a horse need a room?
"It's the empty room that I asked you to clean up two days ago. I didn't have time to explain so I didn't say anything." Xu Jun hid the fact that he did not trust these people at the time, so he thought that Steamed Bun's evolution was too important and dangerous. "Steamed Bun is not an ordinary white horse. He's a Moonlight Foal. He's very talented and has the chance to evolve into an orc. You guys know about the evolution of a daemon into an orc, right?"
The three of them nodded. They knew about it. It was written in every elementary textbook on Fidelinopolis. After all, that was how the orcs came to be. It was an important part of the evolutionary history of Fidelinopolis. It was also an important topic that many scholars had been studying about the origin of intelligent creatures.
But … knowing was just knowing. When it really happened in front of them, they still found it hard to believe.
Xu Jun could understand them. Knowing was one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes still surprised them. After all, primitive orcs were very rare now. "Steamed Bun's life force is very strong. It will probably happen in a few days. When daemons have just evolved into orcs, they won't be used to walking on two feet. So, the room needs to be covered with soft cloth and the corners of the furniture need to be wrapped up. John, please go to the merchant tower and see if there's any wooden frame. If the size is right, we can buy it and make a frame for Steamed Bun to learn how to walk."
Originally, he wanted to ask Ska if there were any small frames for children to learn how to walk. But then he remembered that even though Steamed Bun needed to learn how to walk, he was not a real child. If he were to use the ones for babies, he would probably have to squat down to push him.
Steamed Bun was actually a giant baby in terms of body size.
Rance listened very carefully. Whenever Xu Jun's father said something, he would listen very carefully.
Although he was very taciturn before, he was not a foolish child. On the contrary, this child was actually very smart and could understand things very quickly.
Now that he heard that the steamed buns also needed a climbing frame, he felt a little proud. "When I learned to walk, I didn't even need a climbing frame. I learned it in a short while."
Xu Jun couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, yes, our Rance is the best."
Rance pursed his lips and chuckled.
Their master was no ordinary warrior. This was something that John, Alice, and Gerlyn all knew very well.
However, the only people they could come into contact with were the instructors who trained them or some upper-class nobles. Their understanding of warriors was limited to textbooks and hearsay.
Brave Warriors were divided into those who were not strong and those who were strong. The former were just ordinary adventurers, and their reputation was probably not as good as the others. The latter were generally able to get along very well. One man and one horse would travel the world with a sword, and they would accept missions to kill monsters just like the other adventurers. However, with the title of Brave Warrior, they would also do things for free. For example, helping a poor village to kill a group of Pig Head Men who would rob the village of food during the autumn harvest.
However, they had one thing in common: they did not make money.
It was not that they did not make money, but that they could not save money.
Warriors spent money like water. Equipment, potions, bandages, runes, and inscription scrolls, which one of them did not cost money? The low-level ones were still okay, but the high-level ones were simply exchanged with their lives.
However, once a person became a warrior and made a name for themselves, they would no longer be willing to live a mediocre life. If a young warrior could earn ten thousand gold coins a year, they would have to spend at least five thousand gold coins on repairing their equipment and buying supplies. In addition to their basic necessities, they might also have to occasionally help their brothers and family. How much money would they have left?
Needless to say, ten thousand gold coins was already a lot. How could money be so easy to earn in this world?
Kobolds were ferocious and difficult to deal with. In order to clear out an elite kobold bandit nest, a five-man team would be required. These five people could not be low-level warriors, and at least three of them had to be mid-level warriors. They could probably guarantee that no one would be injured.
The so-called 'no injury' did not mean that the equipment would not be damaged, but that the people would not be seriously injured.
However, a bandit den with ten normal Kobolds and one elite Kobold would normally only have a bounty of 300 gold coins on the bounty.
A low-level Quick Recovery Potion would cost fifty gold coins.
A roughly treated Hemostasis Grass bandage would cost fifty silver coins.
How could it be easy to earn money in this world?
Because they knew this, and because they had already decided to follow Xu Jun, support him, and treat him like a true master, neither the butler nor the two maids wanted to increase his pressure. They didn't want him to develop the rebellious mentality that young people often had. In the end, they left behind a mess and ran away.
But now, seeing how Master Xu Jun treated his mount … the little Moonlight Foal, he didn't seem like an unreliable person.
Xu Jun and Rance chatted for a while. After all, Rance was still a child. Soon, his eyes lit up as he talked about the toys that Jess had bought for him. "It's at the entrance of the palace with an old man sitting there. There's a market!
Jess and I went there with steamed buns!
There were pigeons and butterflies flying in the sky. It was so beautiful!
There were also people selling little wooden carts. Jess bought one for me too. There was an old granny selling a white dragon mask. She looked just like Grandpa Chieftain! "
Xu Jun: "You bought it?"
Rance: "No, Grandpa Chieftain is too ugly. So I just wanted to see if other people would look as ugly when they wore it. _ (: 3,∠) _"
Xu Jun … He suddenly felt very sorry for the Grandpa Chieftain that Rance was talking about. It wasn't easy for him not to beat this brat to death.
So he smiled and stroked Rance's head. "Don't say that when you go back. Your Grandpa Chieftain will be sad."
Rance's face was full of fear. "I have to go back!
I don't want to!
Dad, don't send me away QAQ! "
This father and son … It was hard to believe that they were really father and son. Their attitudes towards each other were really strange. The butler and the maids followed behind and looked at each other worriedly. Master Xu Jun's son … really wasn't retarded?
He looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, but he spoke like a child. Was this really okay?
Even though this child was really too handsome … She didn't find him annoying at all.
No one was surprised that Xu Jun, who was only in his twenties, had a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. After all, they didn't know Xu Jun's age. If he was a high-level fighter, it was normal for him to maintain the youthful vigor of his twenties at forty or fifty years old. Not everyone was like the young master of the Trotman Family, who had wrinkles on his face and was as serious as a college professor when he walked on the street.
So the main point of the conversation between Master Xu Jun and Rance was very obvious. Rance followed the mysterious person named Jess to the market outside the church and bought a lot of toys. _ (: 3,∠) _
Master Xu Jun, Master Xu Jun, does your money really come from the wind? = - =
Steamed Bun's room was snow-white without any hair. Perhaps because Xu Jun didn't say much at the beginning, the butler John didn't know how to decorate the room. He just put in a cupboard, a bed, a desk and a chair. The room wasn't small, and the bed was a double bed. Xu Jun didn't know why, but when he looked at the bed, he suddenly thought of Jess.
"That old rogue … wouldn't sneak in while Steamed Bun was sleeping, right?" He thought of this possibility.
He didn't dare to expect the moral integrity of the Orcs in this world.
The Unicorn Orcs sounded as pure as ice and jade, but that was just how they sounded.
After all, no decent Orc would have the reputation of "liking to get close to virgins", which was simply a pervert.
"Weld iron on the outside of the windows?" Xu Jun said seriously, "John, do you know of any blacksmiths in the city who can use magic copper to forge?"
Magic copper was a type of metal that could absorb a person's strength. It was usually used on the surface of a shield. It wasn't too expensive, but it wasn't cheap either. Many combat professions liked to put a layer of it on their shields.
But when Xu Jun saw the description of this metal for the first time, he thought, "Holy shit!
Isn't this the best anti-thief net! "
If this metal existed in his original world, there would definitely be a lot of grandpas and grandmas who would be willing to use it on their anti-theft net!
The butler John was startled by the question, but he realized that Xu Jun wanted to prevent thieves, but what kind of thief would steal a Moonlight Foal Orc!
It wasn't like it was a cute little cat person!
— — How much magic copper would be used to cover the windows!
"Master Xu Jun, perhaps you won't be happy if I say this, but I hope you can consider the problem of money …" — — It would be best if he took back his previous statement of "Pack up all three of the dwarves' steam engines!"
The butler lowered his head and made another suggestion.
"Oh, oh, oh, money!" Xu Jun slapped his head. "See, I didn't say it clearly!
Aiya! "
He opened his backpack. "Don't panic, don't panic. There's still a lot of money. Take it and use it."
After saying that, he poured out dozens of high-quality gold bricks from his backpack and smashed them on the floor with a thud.
One gold brick like this could be exchanged for ten gold bars. One gold bar was worth a hundred gold coins.
This wasn't the end. Xu Jun reached into his backpack and took out a pile of red, blue, and green gemstones.
"I forgot. My brain is getting worse when I'm old … These things are useless. They can only be used as ordinary decorations. They can't be sold, so I didn't think of them.
They can't be used for forging or inlaying, so they're useless … John, take them to the bank and exchange them for money. "
The gemstones had been roughly processed. They had sharp edges and rolled on the floor like children's favorite fruit candies.
Alice and Gerlyn quickly squatted down to pick them up. Xu Jun found that the two girls' shoes were dusty. Alice's heel was worn out and she hadn't changed it.
"We're not short of money … Use the money to buy some shoe polish. If your shoes are ruined, change them. It's not good if you don't sprain your ankle," he said seriously.
Alice looked at him with her big eyes. She looked a little like a little girl.
A little maid like her who had just come out of training was definitely not older than 18 years old. No one would want her if she was older than 18 years old. Alice was estimated to be 16 or 17 years old. In Xu Jun's world, she would be a high school student.
What about children?
If it was a boy, he could pat her on the shoulder. If it was a girl, then forget it. Xu Jun touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. "Little girls like to be beautiful. John, don't restrict them. Give them more money to buy clothes and jewelry. The children on the street are dressed so brightly.
They look so beautiful. "He said it as if he was a generation older than Alice and Gerlyn.
However, Gerlyn and Alice looked at each other and felt a little sour in their hearts.
Their family background wasn't good. It was said that there were no poor people in the Holy City of Randal. However, there was no place without poor people in this world. It was just that it looked better than the outside world.
Girls weren't valued. When they were a few years old, they looked like they were going to be beauties. If their family's conditions weren't good enough, they didn't want to sell them. They just let them be trained as maids. It was a way out.
However, from the eyes of the four or five year old girls, they could see that the female instructor who took over them gave money to their parents. Since then, they hadn't seen their parents.
They couldn't remember much at the age of four or five. However, it was written in the books that people had parents, but they didn't. Who didn't know what was going on?
Alice vaguely remembered that when she was very, very young, she was once taken shopping by a couple. When she was tired, the man would carry her on his back, and the woman would buy her a lot of rough but beautiful trinkets, hair clips, ribbons, and candy bars.
That kind of thing never happened again.
Xu Jun felt that he wasn't familiar with the two girls. It wasn't good for him to rashly talk about their clothes. He quickly changed the topic. "John, you should change your clothes too. Your bow tie is stained with oil."
John, the butler, "…"
His dull face didn't look like the smart and capable person he was when he first came to Xu Jun's place. "… Gold brick?"
"… Gemstone?"
"… It's useless … and it's useless?"
"… It's not like you're short of money?"
Damn it. Who was the one who said that the brave were a bunch of poor b * stards?!
As a result, Xu Jun's family had a sumptuous meal from top to bottom. _ (: 3.gov.cn) _
…
Elder Yuan and Keke stayed behind.
Xu Jun's house was indeed a reward from His Majesty the Emperor. Although it was small, it had everything. The transportation within the Second Ring Road was convenient. A guest room was quickly prepared (Elder Yuan and Keke slept in the same room). When Elder Yuan left the house, he hailed a horse carriage and spent ten copper coins to send him to the East Embassy. After packing his things, he spent twenty copper coins to send him back.
Regarding the matter of staying at Xu Jun's house, Elder Yuan initially refused.
He had already troubled Xu Jun with the matter of the martial arts competition. How could he add more trouble to his accommodation?
However, Xu Jun sincerely requested him to take care of the steamed buns. It was difficult to refuse such kindness, so Elder Yuan had no choice but to agree.
In response, Keke said, "Yay!
The food at Xu Jun's house is — so spicy and delicious! "
Alright, this child would be satisfied with just two steaks and a bowl of meat soup.
The two guests from the Snow Lion Clan slept next to Xu Jun's bedroom. Beastmen had sharp ears and could hear even the slightest sound. That night, Xu Jun rejected the adult request of the Demon King.
Roschinke simply wanted to beat the Black Moon Light Foal Kyle to death. Useless thing.
The author had something to say: Thus, Xixi Demon King had no choice but to hug Junjun Brave and chat under the quilt.
But because it was early autumn and the weather was still hot, Junjun Brave kicked away the quilt in the middle of the night and kicked the Demon King to the ground.
This is really a story of justice triumphing over evil.
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
