Several hours had passed since Dimas started mining. With the capital of the pickaxe and also the spirit, Dimas continues to mine deeper in this place.
The goal is only one. To seek wealth. And what he found was gold that was the size of a grain of sand.
Not too big to be proud of, but enough to bring profit and wealth to him.
...[.Gold]...
...[.Quality: Intermediate]...
That's what appeared before his eyes. Or rather next to the golden grain that was in his finger's grasp.
"Dimas. Have you found enough?" Reina asked who was standing guard on one side of this mine.
"Awhile more. Hold on a minute." Reply Dimas with a big smile. Currently, his bag had contained quite a lot of gold. But his hand would stop at nothing to swing the pickaxe.
Reina's job was very simple. That is to keep Dimas and himself from any danger that might arise from the mine.
Although, those worries only ended in vain as not a single Goblin appeared until the two of them left.
......***......
...Canary village...
It was re-dipped just before the sun sank. The last thing he wanted was the ambush of monsters or even bandits.
Therefore, he was very careful about his travel time management.
Arriving at the village, he was welcomed back by the villagers warmly. It was as if he and Reina were already permanent residents there.
"Hoho, how's the mining boy?" Zack asked who without hesitation immediately embraced Dimas with his big arm.
"Haha.... Not many. Just look at this." Said Dimas while showing the sack containing the gold.
On the other hand, Reina was welcomed by the children in this village. He seems to be very popular with them, for some reason.
As soon as Zack sees the sack....
"Crazy! You found this much?! How can?!"
His shout of course immediately invited many other citizens closer. And all of them finally clustered around Zack and Dimas, looking at that considerable amount of gold.
"If you sell it, I think you can get dozens of cows!"
"No cows! Buy a horse! I've wanted to raise horses for a long time!"
"Huh?! Why even talk about your wishes?!"
"What did you say?!"
"Food! We'll be safe next winter!"
Various comments from villagers about the amount of Dimas gold can be easily heard. Even the debate between them is very clear, about what should be done with the wealth.
On the other hand, Dimas himself smiled quite widely after this incident.
His unfortunate fate while on earth, now turned 180 degrees to be much better in this other world. It was as if the Goddess had indeed given him a second chance to obtain a better life.
"So what's your next plan?" Ask Zack who still continues to embrace Dimas.
After thinking about it for a moment, Dimas finally emboldened himself.
"I guess.... I'll sell it to the city. Soon after, it might buy some equipment and food for this village." Reply Dimas with a thin smile.
Zack who heard it was a little surprised. Given how Dimas attitude during in this village.
"You're serious?" Ask Zack again.
The question immediately sank into the sea of euphoria of these villagers. The crowd made due to the discovery of Dimas gold has still not subsided at all.
Even so, Dimas was able to hear the question well and clearly. Without hesitation, he answered immediately.
"of course. Whynot? I feel quite comfortable living in this village, and I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life here."
Without Being aware....
The reply was probably, the most beautiful sentence that had ever come out of her all along. And maybe in the future.
......***......
'Bruk!'
Dimas threw his body on a soft bed. Something he hadn't felt for a long time.
"Well.... Justright. Everyone soon becomes good to the rich. Haha...." Said Dimas to himself while looking at this room.
Madam Mia gave him this room to rest tonight. So was one room next door for Reina.
Although not much for the modern world he had ever felt, but the two rooms were the best rooms in this village. Which is usually only used for special guests or important people of the City.
"Although it's a pity to waste this room, but I'm already too sleepy. I guess.... Good night."
With that last sentence, Dimas closed his eyes. I slept in the best sleep to this day.
And maybe....
The most beautiful thing he will ever feel.
......***......
Rows of villagers were seen on the outskirts of this remote place.
In front of all of them, was the figure of two people carrying quite a complete set of equipment. They were none other than Dimas and also Reina.
On one hand, Dimas carries a sizable backpack. The bag contained gold as well as other luggage. Not only that, two knives and a short sword hung on his waist.
Then on the other hand, Reina carried a large sword that was hung on her back. The clothes themselves are light skin armour that has been repaired.
Her beautiful blonde hair moved here and there in accordance with the direction of the wind. While the color of his eyes that were as bad as the sky was decorating his smile that was so wide.
"Wait for us, everyone! We'll bring a lot of souvenirs for you!" Shouted Reina while waving her right hand.
"Village Head! Maybe I'll bring you a horse!" Shouted Dimas as well while waving his right hand.
The screams were greeted with great fanfare by the villagers.
Especially old man Zack.
"Don't forget! Beer for me! One keg!"
"Stupid! I'm not gonna give you such a stupid thing! I don't know how much money I'm gonna make anyway!" Reply to Dimas while immediately starting his journey.
Now, for the first time, Dimas is parting ways with the village that has been his cozy home in this other world for several months.
While Reina?
"Hey, Dimas! I can't wait to get to town! I think there will be a lot of adventure waiting!" Reina said with shining eyes as if filled with hope.
Hearing that, Dimas only smiled faintly.
He himself also felt the blessing of Goddess Cyrese on him, which is very simple, has been able to change his life very drastically.
'Skill level C huh? If this level alone was this good.... What happens if I get another blessing?' Thought Pricked in his heart.
Their journey to the city finally began.
A journey that will change their fate forever. I don't know in what sense.
It's just....
In distance....
"Stop. Highway tax." Said a man who confronted the caravan.
Although it had about 8 guards and 3 horse carriages, but the head of the caravan squad was only able to lower his head while removing a bag.
"Ha-this is all we can give you...." Said the head of the caravan squad.
The man who confronted him, stood together with at least 16 more other people. They have quite terrible equipment in the sense of completeness.
Iron armor is thick enough, sharp weapons honed, and mental as hard as steel.
The most terrifying of all was their leader who had just received the bag containing the gold coins.
One of his eyes was covered with cloth. His long, dirty black hair only added to his horror along with his greatsword.
"28 gold coins? You kidding?" Said the man with a very sharp look.
Along with that sentence, all his followers began to raise their weapons. Prepare to take anything forcibly.
8 Caravan guards who have been paid to look after this entourage....
'Brukk! Klao! Kraakk!'
They all dropped their weapons on the ground. Realize that they have lost in all areas. Whether it's numbers, weapons, or experience.
Not only that, they immediately raised their hands up. They signified that they had given up and begged for forgiveness.
A smile that was wide and seemed so evil was seen from the chief robber.
"So.... What are you going to do now, merchant? The dogs you hired have given up, can you see it?"
And so....
They finally got through safely. Or rather.... Swap all their possessions for his life.
