Chapter 56 - Ninth Episode
I successfully registered my magic crest and had my adventurer’s certificate issued.
The adventurer’s certificate was just a small card with the name of the registrant, the adventurer’s rank, and the date of registration.
Apparently, if you flow the same magic power as the registered magic crest, it will glow, and this will confirm your identity.
I flick my fingers lightly on my adventurer’s certificate. There doesn’t seem to be any complicated technique in place.
It would be easy to fake with a little disassembly and examination.
However, the Support Center for Adventurers also keeps a copy of the reserve, so it’s easy to find out if you’re going to do anything without permission, because I’ve heard that forging an adventurer’s certificate is a pretty serious offense and will get you thrown in jail, but I’m not going to do that.
………but I’d like to make at least one piece out of curiosity.
If you burn it right after you make it, you won’t be caught.
“Umm, Abel…… why did you register under a different name?”
“It seems that it was alright, it was a sudden impulse…”
My adventurer’s certificate was firmly inscribed ‘Yamasan Mountain’ on it.
The process itself was easy, and there was no complicated identification.
They didn’t say anything in particular, not necessarily under my real name, either. There’s nothing wrong with that, probably.
“Isn’t that going to be a bit of a pain in the ass later on?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. You don’t get to put it out in public that often.”
At best, the lady at the reception desk thinks my name is Mr. Mountain.
“Well, it’s fine, but… but… it’s kind of a weird name.”
When I am told this and that, I wonder if I am being rash.
If you think about it, if I make an achievement, the name of Mr. Mountain will spread among the nobility?
That sounds interesting, but it certainly does seem like it’s going to lead to a mess or not.
Well, I don’t intend to become a sorcerer for the nobility, so it’s okay.
As long as I can pay off the debt and not have to live with it, that’s fine. I’m not going to raise my rankings that much either.
When you hear the word aristocrat, you get the image of arrogance, selfishness, stingy, boredom, and dorkiness.
They’re going to be laughing like, ‘Guhehee heh heh heh”. I’m completely prejudiced.
“It’s my benefactor’s name, Mr. Mountain.”
“Is that so?”
“I was once rescued from a magic beast who was beating me to a pulp.”
“From a magic beast who would beat Abel to a pulp!?”
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’d be dead as it was. In an instant, he burned down all the demonic beasts around me and restored me to full health as I was dying.”
However, it’s in an online game.
“So he’s a great magician…”
“He is the person I respect most in the world, no, in every dimension.”
Mr. Mountain is from a different world, so a world frame is not enough.
Mr. Mountain is great.
“Is that so… so you thought you’d borrow he’s name… it makes sense to me.”
It was honestly just a prank, but let’s keep it quiet.
I had an unusual surname in a previous life, and I was hesitant to use my real name in this situation.
As I recall, I used to borrow Mr. Mountain’s name in those days as well.
I thought it was a habit I had long since left, but I didn’t expect it to show its face now.
I even thought it would be better to re-register with my real name Abel for later, but the magic crests has been enforced so I can’t do that either.
Was the magic crest to avoid duplicate registrations?
Well, let’s keep it that way.
And it’s getting a little fun.
Let’s work hard every day to make Mr. Mountain the most famous magician in the world.
“Is this Mr. Mountain from the Marren tribe as well?”
It’s kind of a funny name now.
I’ve not been out of the village until now, and I guess it’s more natural to say that he’s a Marren.
“Well, that’s how it is.”
“I see…… As I thought, the Marren’s are all very strong.”
Mea was innocently impressed.
We moved to the rest area of the Adventurer’s Support Center to plan for the future.
I open the map to a desk full of maps and compare it to the information in the newspaper to find an affordable hunting ground.
According to the newspaper, the forest north of the city of Lomarn is full of F-class and E-class demonic beasts, and they say it’s an affordable hunting ground for newcomers.
But we just recently had a unicorn magic beast disaster monster panic, so the mid-level adventurers are trying to focus on the ones that survived.
The more money-makers they get together, the more likely they are to get into trouble.
It said that it was best for newcomers to avoid it for a while.
Other than that … abandoned castle Eltonena, this one looks affordable.
Apparently, Eltonena, the abandoned castle, isn’t just a ruin, it’s treated as a dungeon.
A dungeon is a place where demons live in caves and old buildings, and where peculiar magic beasts are more likely to occur.
From the dungeon, you can get a lot of magic stones that are excellent as components for magic tools or as a source of energy.
You might even find some expensive magical stones that don’t even appear on the market very often. I would love to go.
However, it would take four days to get to the abandoned castle of Eltonena and going back.
We have to hire people and a carriage.
Financially tight. And as a person who is dependent on Mea for my finances, I want to take less costly measures.
“Abel, do you want to go there?”
As I was crumpling up the newspaper and wrinkling it, Mea peeked out from behind me.
“Whoops!”
I quickly hide the newspaper behind my back.
She was in front of me just a moment ago, before I know it she’s already behind me.
I was so focused on it that I didn’t notice it.
“N-, no, we’re going somewhere else.”
“You don’t have to worry if it’s about money! If it comes down to it, you can sell the Mea’s horn for some value. Because that’s what I’ve heard when it comes to making magic tools.”
“We’ll find another place.”
What are you going to do with the stone on your forehead, followed by the horn?
It’s not funny to make a joke out of it.
You’re not serious … right, indeed.
But the cost of travel is a problem.
If it goes poorly, you could lose money after expenses.
You have to do plan it carefully and then move on.
The closest is the forest. Here, you won’t have to pay for transportation.
However, we’ll have to be prepared to take on some nasty challenges with other adventurers, though.
