Chapter 8
All the men were staring at this girl. One drunk got up and started walking toward her. "Hey girl..."
Before he finished talking, the bulky warrior knocked him out of the tavern. People started laughing at it.
Duwei’s eyes were filled with curiosity. A warrior, an archer, this girl was surrounded by her companions, then she’s probably the leader of the party. Is this an adventure party like those mentioned in stories?
After learning about this world, Duwei knew that there exists adventure parties similar to mercenaries. The big parties contain several hundred people while small ones just three to four people. Monsters frequently appeared in the forests to the south of the kingdom. Which attracted adventure parties to try their luck to hunt monsters and trade the loot for reward. Some local governments would also hire these adventurers to do their deeds like as capturing thieves and such.
There were no adventurer guild though. The kingdom wouldn’t allow such power to exist.
But there’s a magician in this party? This surprised Duwei a lot. After reading so many books, he knew that magicians were very scarce in this world. It not only took talent but also many years of effort to become a magician.
According to what he read, there were only several hundred magicians in this kingdom. Even some n.o.bilities were not able to recruit magicians. That was why magicians were paid very well. Those without a huge financial backing couldn’t afford to recruit one.
Yet, a team like this had a magician in them. This was such a rarity.

"What? 100 gold? Had you ever been to the imperial city’s brothel. The cheapest girl there costs 300 gold." The knight beside him refuted.
Duwei looked at them, thought for a moment and said, "You think she’s pretty? I say she’s average, but those legs though."
"..."
The knights were shocked that their little master, who was quiet throughout the journey, would say something like this. Weren’t rumors said he was r.e.t.a.r.ded? That was why they said those words without avoiding him.
"What’s it? Are you guys still men?" Duwei laughed. "She’s only a girl and you are knights. You can only sit here and talk when you are tempted by her? I will give 10 gold to whoever dare to go up and make a move."
The knights laughed. Even though this little master lost his position, he seen like their kind of person. One knight said, "Master, give me those 10 gold then."
Then he got up and shouted at the corner. "Hey girl, how about I buy you a drink?"
The girl seen enraged and wanted to get up. But her companions held her down and pointed at
