“Ah.”
“Kingslayer Spiders? No—Shield Spiders.”
“Hello there.”
“A nest. I have heard they are a hazard around here to travellers.”
“Did you do this? By yourself?”
“May I ask how?”
“Where did you get the wood?”
“Krakk trees. They do burn well, but you were lucky none of them exploded. They do that quite often, and the shrapnel is deadly.”
“Oh?”
“I see. Clever.”
“Did you do that as well?”
“Few could best a Shield Spider with their bare hands.”
“You have a Skill. [Lesser Strength]. Even so, I see you were injured.”
“If you’d been bit, the potion would have done you little good. Shield Spiders have a decently strong venom.”
“Shield Spiders are considered to be a Silver-rank threat. A nest of them though…I wouldn’t be surprised if a team of Gold-rank adventurers were dispatched to handle it.”
“You are a Level 11 [Innkeeper]. I am surprised you were able to accomplish such a feat. Few would be so brave, even ten levels higher. And you are no adventurer.”
“I see it.”
“Shield Spiders are notorious for tracking and killing prey across dozens of miles. You were wise not to run.”
“And? What have you learned?”
“Murderer? That’s an interesting word. I would not use it to describe you.”
“Murder is the sin of taking lives that matter. We who fight such monsters are exterminators. Killers, perhaps; murderers, no. A murderer should not be suffered.”
“Oh? Then why fight? [Innkeepers] don’t level from fighting monsters.”
“Then why fight? Why not run?”
“Ah. But you have done more than that. This nest was a threat to many. You eliminated it. You spoke truly: you do have a talent for fighting.”
“You have talent in killing things. You might be a good adventurer, especially since you wiped out a nest by yourself. Why are you ashamed of—”
“A talent for war is never wasted. What a shame you don’t see it that way.”
“My apologies. I didn’t want to offend you.”
“They would have killed you.”
“Spawn. They are as dangerous as adults in numbers.”
“You might call them that.”
“If you like, I can end them now—”
“Of course.”
“I wouldn’t. It would bite and consume you first chance it got. Shield Spiders cannot be tamed. Unless you had the [Beastmaster] class, this child will eventually take your life.”
“What a curious Human you are.”
“Not at all. But I have met many Humans. Many Humans and many races, but never one as curious as you. Many bolder or grander or more dangerous—but never one so oddly as this.”
“I am part Gazer. It is in my ancestry. You may call me by the name others not of my race give me. Gazi.”
“Yes, I saw.”
“I am pleased to meet you, Innkeeper Solstice. I am an adventurer wandering through these lands.”
“That would be most welcome.”
“Don’t you want to claim the bounty on the Shield Spiders before you go? Their carcasses will not burn up in the flames.”
“It is hard to understand, I suppose. But I believe your friend Relc enjoys the quieter moments. Anyone can tire of war. Believe me.”
“Many times. That is quite restful compared to war.”
“I am Gazi of Reim.”
“Well, I have not lacked for entertainment since travelling to these lands. I will seek lodgings within the city, then. Good day to you, Erin Solstice. We shall meet again.”
“I foresee it.”
“I fear we must part ways for a time, Erin Solstice. I must greet the master of this guild and the local ruling body. But I hope I may visit you at your inn for your promised meal.”
“That may be slightly difficult at the moment.”
“Ah. A warrior among civilians. A rare sight in peaceful Izril.”
“I do not fight with my fists. If I draw my sword—people die. I would prefer not to.”
“Besides—he is not the one who needs help.”
“He is over Level 30 in the [Spearmaster] class. That would be enough. The highest level among the adventurers is Level 21—the one he has just knocked unconscious. A [Spearmaster] is not an equal to a mere [Warrior], regardless of levels.”
“Many have reasons to leave war. I, too, was a soldier once. As I am sure many know. But I left my position to become an adventurer. It is only worth being a soldier if one has a cause to fight for, a leader to follow, and a reason not to die.”
“This looks delightful. Thank you for allowing me to impose.”
“I am Gazi Pathseeker, a travelling adventurer.”
“The life of an adventurer is not for everyone.”
“It becomes occasionally unpleasant.”
“I am merely exploring this continent. Rest assured, I mean to cause no disruptions while I am here. Reim is far from here, and my liege sleeps. I am…peaceful.”
“It sounds like you have quite a tough job. I am impressed.”
“Indeed? A fascinating class. I myself have killed only a few.”
“Ah. Pasta? It looks quite delicious. Thank you, Erin.”
“As tempting as your offer is, I must refuse. But I believe you would be wise to invest in some form of defense as you are no warrior.”
“I am quite enjoying the spectacle. Do not mind me.”
“Acid Flies?”
“Erin. Is now a good time?”
“I have met with various individuals. But I am sure others will introduce themselves when they realize I am in the city. However, I wonder if I might take you up on your offer.”
“You mentioned you had an inn. If you wouldn’t mind, I would very much like to see it and have a meal, if I may.”
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Krshia. I apologize for my rudeness.”
“Some might say so. I apologize if the attention bothers you. Do you dislike such things?”
“I believe I am more infamous than famous.”
“I believe the difference between the two is quite minute in some senses. In others however—well, suffice it to say I appreciate staring as opposed to other reactions. Some cities would not let me past the gates—or even in range of the walls. Nor will I blame them for that.”
“I did not wonder. But it was quite amusing to see your reaction when the child asked you the question.”
“Is it strange that other species do not know much about Human reproduction?”
“Greetings, [Necromancer].”
