South of the Yarra continent, the hinterland of Neville Federation, the small town of Kanzier.

The afterglow of the sun god Hubert is still falling on the earth, and the figures of the three goddesses of moonlight slowly emerge from the horizon. The brilliance of the sun and the moon shines on the peaceful town together, dyeing the town's buildings a layer of dim color.

Neville Federation is the most commercially developed country in the entire Yara continent. The whole country is covered with a strong commercial atmosphere, even an ordinary town like Kanzier is no exception.

The town is a very common ring layout in the Neville Federation. The town center is a prosperous and busy market area. A large number of townsmen sell their own products at stalls in the city center. In the market, you can buy fresh fish caught in the small river in the south, fresh vegetables just picked in the farm outside the village in the west, and green leaves fruits in the orchard in the east. You can buy freshly brewed ale wine with foam, bread that is baked from the beasts outside the village, and even luck is good, you can buy local products transported from other countries.

A circle of buildings surrounding the market area is called the inner ring area, which is a variety of shops. In the weapon store, there are clangs of metal impact, the fragrance of various herbs wafts out from the pharmacy, the potions in the alchemy store flash with different colors, and the power of magic fluctuates in the magic house. The food in the restaurant and the noise in the tavern constitute an irresistible temptation to the travelers passing by.

After crossing the inner ring area, the central ring area of ​​the town is divided into two parts. The eastern half is the office location of various administrative agencies in the town, and the western half is the church of various gods. In the Quaternary, although the divine barrier created by Yara made it impossible for the gods to descend to the world, as a proxy for gods, the church will still compete for faith for gods.

The outermost area of ​​the town belongs to the outer ring area, which is a region where all townspeople live. Compared with other areas, it is a bit messy but more lively atmosphere. Outside the outer ring area, there is a low, loose and simple wooden wall. The function of the wooden wall is not so much for defense, but just to mark the scope of the town.

A road running through the north and south through the town, dividing the entire town into two. As dusk approaches, people who are rushing to walk into the town along the road. From time to time, there are carriages or magic motorcycles passing by pedestrians and disappearing into the town.

While Hubert's finally disappeared into the sky, another carriage appeared on the road outside the town. The middle-aged townsman hired to drive the car looked leisurely in the coachman's position, but the atmosphere in the car behind was not so leisurely, and fierce quarrels could be heard from afar.

"You can't even detect traps, or even find secret doors. Do you dare to call yourself the best explorer in this town?" The questioning was a knight girl, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, wearing silver-white full-body chain armor, and a tall figure, even taller than many men. Her gorgeous face became majestic because of her frowning eyebrows: "Do you know the trap yesterday, if we were not strong enough, we were all dead now? Is that how you are responsible for your companions? Is this your professional ethics?"

"What are you talking about?" The only short male on the carriage retorted unwillingly: "The dismantling trap is obviously the job of the dismantler, why do you blame me? Moreover, I have been in that cave at least twenty times and have never heard of the existence of a secret door. You also saw it yesterday. I searched all the caves, and there were no secret doors at all. You were just making trouble."

"Disassembly traps are indeed the job of disassembly, but detecting traps is the job of explorers. The Adventurer Guild Guild's Guidance Manual is clearly written." Another priest girl, wearing thin leather armor, with a mace hammer hanging on her waist on her left side, and a silver magic book hung on her right side. Her long silver-white hair was up and down, rising and falling with the bumps of the carriage. There was a crescent-shaped scar on the girl's forehead, which made her originally beautiful face a little weird. While speaking, the girl took out a thick book from her backpack beside her and pointed to the page she turned on: "Look, the adventurers team that explored the ruins need at least three people, and the defenders are responsible for fighting and exploring.

The person is responsible for the exploration of the environment (including the exploration of the enemy and the exploration of traps), the dismantler is responsible for the destruction of traps (including physical traps and magic traps) and the opening of channels. This is the official guide of the Adventurer Guild, so you can't be wrong. What's more, Ometheus in the Knight and Princess, Euler in the Ode to Light, Haynes in the Destruction God's Destruction, Dark in the legendary destiny, Nefarian in the rise and fall of the new empire, Michelle in the legend of the ancient continent, these people are excellent explorers. Who said that detecting traps is not his job?" Every time a name is said, the priest girl takes out a book from her backpack, and in an instant a thick stack is piled up in front of the girl.

The short male's face was full of a surprised expression as if he was seeing a ghost. He stared at the book in front of the girl and asked blankly: "This, this, what are these?"

"Book, what else can it be?" The priest girl put the book back into her backpack as if she was a rare treasure. When she heard his question, she replied with an idiot expression: "You don't even know books? Anyway, that's it. Whether it's the case, you are not qualified, whether it's the rules of the Adventurers Association or from the teammates we have worked with before. In our adventures, the explorers were responsible for detecting traps, and Vivian was responsible for cracking them. Is it right Vivian?" As she said, she patted the shoulder of the third girl in the car.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" The one who was patted on the shoulder was a girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old. She was pretty buckled on her head with a flat green hat used for sun protection. Her blue hair was separated from left to right, combed into a short ponytail and hung on both sides of her head. Her eyes were big and round, and she was full of confusion. The girl was wearing a blue dress with a work clothes texture, with small pockets everywhere on her dress, and a pair of blue waterproof leather rain boots on her feet. Behind her back was a big blue backpack that could almost make the girl curl up and crawl in. The surface of the backpack was also covered with pockets of various sizes. When the girl heard the priest's question, she looked at the sky blankly: "Ah, we came out of the hole? Why haven't the sky been dawn yet?"

"God." The priest girl covered her face with a collapsed expression: "We have all returned to town. It's not that it's dark before dawn. What are you thinking about this day! All-powerful Deniya, please save this fool."

"I'm sorry, I've been thinking just now." As I said, the girl's voice became lower and lower until she disappeared, and she was obviously trapped in thinking again.

"You crazy guys." Seeing that the carriage had entered the town and stopped in the center of the town, the man picked up his luggage and jumped out of the car: "I've had enough of you. If you don't drive me, I won't work with you anymore."

"Stop." The knight girl also jumped out of the car and blocked the man fiercely: "Do you want to leave like this?"

The man was startled by the girl's power and took two steps back involuntarily. Then he realized that he was at a disadvantage. He quickly stubbornly said, "What are you doing? Even if I don't do my duty, I will quit. What else do you want?"

"At the beginning, the teaming requirement we posted in the central square was to hire an adventurer with an explorer's ability to reach the bronze level, right?" The female knight looked stern and said in a serious tone: "We asked to hire ten days to pay a salary of four gold coins every day. After you apply, we paid your salary for three days, right?"

"No, yes, what's wrong?" The man's voice began to feel guilty.

The serious look on the female knight's face became stronger and stronger, and she took two steps forward. The momentum forced the man to retreat continuously until his back leaned on the carriage: "Because of your reasons, the employment agreement ended too early, so we have the right not to pay you the twenty-eight gold coins for the remaining seven days."

"I didn't want it either." The man seemed relieved.

The female knight's originally tense mouth suddenly raised slightly, and a dangerous smile appeared on her serious face: "It's not over yet. The above is based on the fact that you have completed your own job. But the current situation is that you have not completed your own job. According to the association's regulations, if the task fails due to the employer's reasons, we have the right to only pay half of your agreed salary. If the employer takes deception from the beginning, we have the right to refuse to pay any salary. You won't know about this regulation, right?"

The man wiped the cold sweat from his head and coughed dryly, asking, "Miss Knight, you have to talk about the spirit of the knight countless times every day, but it is not in line with the spirit of the knight so much about money?"

The smile on the female knight's face was not diminished, and she extended her left hand to the man without any hesitation. She said: "Humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, compassion, honesty, spirit, justice, and seeking compensation for her losses does not violate any of the eight virtues of the knight. On the contrary, my behavior is in line with honesty and justice. So, please return the twelve gold coins to us."

"I won't give you back. You're just talking nonsense. I didn't use deception." The man was completely panicked and shouted loudly.

"Is that? You mean, you are really an advanced bronze explorer?" The female knight continued to sneer, and her left hand was still spread in front of the man: "If you insist, I can go to a nearby city and apply for arbitration in the Adventurer Guild. Whether you cheat will be judged by the Adventurer Guild. Don't worry, I will pay for the 100 gold coins applied for arbitration. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but at that time, there will naturally be guild personnel to decide on your Adventurer qualifications."

The man was as stupid as if he was stunned. He opened his mouth and stared at the female knight for a long time before he angrily took out a purse and threw it into the female knight's open hand. He fled away from the female knight as if he was away from the plague. While walking away, he muttered hatefully: "In order to get back twelve gold coins, you would rather spend a hundred pieces. Madman. These three people are madmen. Why am I so unlucky to meet such three crazy women."
