The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Live independently

Next day. It seems to be true, that old man Gin is serious about leaving him. Only last night Leo lay face down, and a little wish old Gin back. But truth? To this day old man Gin did not return which indicates he has gone as far as possible.

Leo got up to pick up the sword and Gin's casing on the table. Now is the time to make a change, there is no way he is like a spoiled child who cries when left by parents. After all this was not the end of everything, he had to live alone independently. If necessary, he could search for the whereabouts of the mysterious old Gin.

It felt strange enough that if he did not bring the cattle to the mountain again, there was no annoying sound from an old man that made Leo have ear pain. It's only been one night, but it doesn't feel like Leo is so willing.

“Yeah, looks like I should be heading to town. At least to join the adventurer guild, rather than having to head to the academy in the capital, I am too old to be in the academy, also because I have no money.” Leo sighed. He moved out of his place, out of the house he had built with old man Gin.

Too old Leo meant that he had an ill-fitting age to head to the academy. Maybe if at the age of his age, they have become seniors who have the ability to hone talent very well.

Only, he was confident in his own abilities. The Academy does not determine whether you become a great figure in the future or not. However, sometimes the kingdom also needed the people from the academy to become warriors, knights or generals so it was quite easy to become great.

Even so, not a few people are great without taking the path of the academy. Academy is just a means to hone talent for the better. And, for sure it was in the top circles because to enter the academy was not free just like that.

Especially children who come from great and capable families, they will definitely enter their children into the academy. With the exception of the king's son and duke, even though they were among the top, the young masters and princesses received direct guidance from their father, or perhaps a personal teacher.

Without waiting for long, Leodric Frosch came down from the mountain slope. But before he really did come down, Leo looked back, staring at his house that was getting further away because he had to go to decide the course of his own fate. More precisely he was going to head to the city, starting a new life.

It might be strange if he left the village, without asking the village chief for permission first. Moreover, Leo and Gin are well known by the community so that if they disappear suddenly, it is not funny at all.

Who cares? That was what Leo thought, he exited the village directly and as if indifferent to the villagers. Though many people greeted him, women who adored him, but Leo did not turn his head at all. Although it was completely disrespectful, it was just that, actually Leo had no idea how to say goodbye to them. Moreover, Leo also could not explain to them, if they asked, where is Gin currently?

That's really a troublesome thing.

The departure of the two of them may be a mystery.

Still in the town of Little Pear, Leo had already walked an hour from the village of Caprae which was in the westernmost region of the city of Little Pear. The atmosphere of the city that looks is still very crowded, even though Leo just left and came to this city yesterday.

“I'm hungry, usually when I bring all the cattle to the top of the mountain, old man Gin will hunt and cook.” Leo said to himself. He felt a little strange to be alone.

Even so, there was no point in complaining. He chose to find breakfast first in a shop to fill his stomach. Moreover, old man Gin once said that the store is a center of information obtained from people who are gossiping.

It is very good, especially he also wants to find information who the killer of his parents at that time? The last time he recalled, Leo saw the assassin wearing an Assassin robe that had a dancing leaf emblem on the robe.

Although in fact, jobs that are external talent have little relationship with adventurers, or rather swordsmen, archers and mages and others do not necessarily constitute adventurers. Sometimes they are also ordinary people who have external talent and want to do self-protection.

What Leo is sure of is that some of them are adventurers from the tag bracelets they wear. The tag bracelet shows an identity that they are adventurers.

Leo could see, there were no adventurers hiding their levels as if they were being pushed to show their abilities. Most are indeed at the level of ‘3’, only Leo slightly guessed that the level of ‘3’ is a figure that is five years older than Leo. While the age of Leo, it seems that the level of '2’ has become commonplace.

“Sorry to interrupt, I want to order popular food here, but cheap one is there?” Tanya Leo approached a cashier table, looking at a beautiful woman who was a cashier.

“Sup meat? Would you like to? It costs 10 bronze.” The cashier said very kindly, even leaving a very sweet smile.

“Alright, I'll wait.” Leo nodded, then he reached into his coin pouch and took one piece of silver and gave it to the servant.

“Thank you sir, you can sit down so that our waiter will deliver it, along with the change.”

Leo nodded, then he looked for an empty bench to wait for his order to be prepared. It felt quite lazy, he could feel the loneliness of old man Gin beside him who accompanied the meal.

But he soon forgot about it. What's he supposed to do? There's no way he's keeping quiet and relying on money from Gin. Thus, after this he would register himself with the adventurer guild, as well as adding experience points so that his level could rise. Also, to make it easier to face his opponent someday.

“Lately there's been a human kill quest? that's very strange. Unlike usual the guild gives a quest that deviates like this.”

“Any?no according. Have you never seen a quest completed by a high rank tag like gold? They even completed the quest to kill the hit man.”

“No, the quest was classified as low, even the possibility of rank tag bronze like we were able to complete it. Because the quest is just killing humans who are at the level of ‘3’ middle and very easy like.”

“What do you mean? This is not kidding, is it?”

“The man who made the quest just killed the son of a chief soldier who worked for the mayor two days ago. So, instead of using the mayor's means such as deploying soldiers who would smear the mayor, the warrior chief paid the adventurer guild to make the quest. The quest was just posted this morning.”

Leo, who overheard two people talking, gulped violently. It seems like what the killer meant was him, and the time of the murder was exactly two days ago just like Leo did. It seemed, what he had been worried about all along was true, that not killing those two archers was a huge mistake.
