An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations

The shop owner finally recovered from his stiffness and looked at the two teddy bears in admiration.

Even though he was still young, those monocular glasses still fit perfectly.On the surface, he didn't seem very confident, but Liesel knew that serious expression was worth entrusting with the appraisal work.

"I didn't expect you to be so unconvinced that I became an adventurer." "No... I'm sorry... Ah, but compared to last time... Well, your temperament seems to be softer." "Thank you." Lieser smiled, and the shopkeeper hurriedly looked away, looking at the teddy bear again.

No wonder.Jie Er watched this scene and secretly agreed in his heart.As far as he knew, the owner had seen Lissel who had just arrived here, so it must be even more unbelievable.

"Hey, don't disturb other people's work." "Ah, I'm sorry." "No... no." Seeing Lieser talking to the shopkeeper from time to time, taking pleasure in observing the other party's reaction, Jieer called him and began to watch A prop for maintaining the sword on the shelf.At this time, Lieser also came over with great interest. They were idle anyway, and the two decided to take the opportunity to help Lieser find some necessities for adventurers.

Before you know it, the appraisal is over.Maybe it took a little time because the things identified this time were not common.

"How, is there a way to sell it for one gold coin?" Since the entrustment order restricts maze items worth less than one gold coin, Liesel also hopes to aim for the highest amount.

"That...it was found on the second floor of the nearby labyrinth, right?" "Yes." Liesel didn't understand what he meant by asking, but nodded anyway.The shopkeeper put two teddy bears side by side, the red and blue eyes reflecting the light, shining brightly.

"The fabrics, buttons, and gemstones on the eyes are all things produced in the labyrinth." "It's not bad for the second floor." Randomly handing over cheap things will affect your own evaluation, Lieser said. I learned this from Jie Er from the beginning.It seems that there is no need to worry, Lieser nodded after listening, but what the shopkeeper said next was beyond his expectation.

"I was thinking, some people might be willing... to pay five gold coins." "Huh?" "Ah... are you an avid collector?" "Yes. There are many collectors looking for puppets produced in the labyrinth. One Two gold coins, this pair can be sold for about five gold coins." Just these two puppets?The two looked down at the teddy bear on the stage. This was a world neither Liesel nor Jieer knew about.

But if it were a book, Liesel would be able to understand it.He spared no expense to acquire precious and rare classics, so it is not surprising that there are such collectors in the world.Beside the understanding Lieser, Jie Er still had an incomprehensible surprised expression on his face.

"It's just that, according to the standard of general labyrinth products, it is still a low-level thing..." "The standard of labyrinth products?" Let’s talk about the first-tier level.” Leaving aside collectors, the average adventurer pays attention to practicality.

Needless to say, excellent weapons and armors, such as indestructible lanterns, ever-sharp knives, and precious ores are of course very valuable.

Then there are things that can simply be sold at a good price, and adventurers will be overjoyed when they drive them.

This time the teddy bear is an exception.The Labyrinth has a reputation for playing by ear, but it doesn't seem like it will take the Collector into account.

"The deep layer will open to bad goods, and the shallow layer will find good things. It's unlikely, and this time it hasn't reached the point of being broken." "(Broken?)" Adventurers will say that the maze is "broken".

"Indeed, after all, this is just an ordinary puppet." "How about it, do you want to go down again?" "If you want...that, we can buy it in our store." Liesel picked up the teddy bear, things to consider.He didn't expect its price to be so beautiful, so he didn't prepare other maze products.

Jie Er is right, it is also a feasible option to go to the maze to find a substitute, but...

"...No need, just help me open an appraisal certificate at the price of a maze product." "Huh! Is it okay...?" "You guys don't just find it troublesome." "You found it?" It is unreasonable for those who want to waste a rare opportunity to make money in vain.Jie Er looked at him with a bit of reproach, Lieser remained silent and just smiled.After a few seconds of silence, the shopkeeper looked back and forth between the two in bewilderment.

"...Do whatever you want." It was Jie Er who gave in.He knew it would happen, he sighed.

As for matters related to adventurers, Lieser has never ignored his own advice, and the reason why he did not accept this suggestion is probably not just because he finds it troublesome.As for the exact reason, Jie Er has no way of knowing.

"Don't get involved in troublesome things." Jie Er said.

"Okay. Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to trouble you." The dignified atmosphere disintegrated in an instant. The shopkeeper was stunned with his mouth open. Once Lissel opened his mouth, he immediately started to prepare the certificate of appraisal. On the appraisal paper with the shop stamp Write down the amount without hesitation.

Lieser probed and took a closer look. The amount recorded on the appraisal certificate was three silver coins, which was considered a very good result for a novice adventurer.Judging from the content of the entrustment, the more expensive the better, the more expensive the better, and the delivery of items of this level is enough.

"Is it okay to just hand it over like this?" "Just find a box to pack." "Then please pack it by the way, it's a rare puppet." It seems that Lieser has long accepted his first The first maze product I saw was a puppet, and I deliberately spent money to package it, as if I was enjoying it.

"Don't wrap it too tightly, the guild will check the contents." "Then just tie a ribbon on the box, um, that red one is good." Decorate with a red ribbon, secure the ribbon to the lid with a silver pin, and you're done.The teddy bear transformed into a solemn and elegant gift. Lieser looked at it with satisfaction, and the certificate of appraisal was packed into an envelope like an invitation.

Jie Er wondered from the bottom of his heart, what was the reason that drove him to work so hard?It was indeed what he said to pack, but he didn't expect Lieser to do it this way.

"Why do you work so hard for meaningless things?" "It's playful." "Really." Jie Er nodded and didn't pursue further.

Later, the two stopped by the guild and handed in the entrusted item smoothly.Needless to say, Stad looked at the gift box Liesel handed him with a blank expression, checked the contents, and closed the box without saying a word.

Back at the hostel, Lieser was absorbed in reading.

This is not limited to today, as long as he has any free time, he always spends it with books at hand.In addition to the bookstore introduced by Stad, he also visited other bookstores, carefully selected books that did not duplicate the works he had read before, and stored them in his pocket.

In the beginning, the store had a complete collection of books, so there was no need for him to rent out the entire bookstore later.

"(It's getting so late.)" He looked out of the window, and stars had begun to appear in the evening sky.Lieser closed the half-read book, stood up from the chair, walked out of the room, and then knocked on the door of the room next door.

"Is it convenient now?" "What's the matter?" "I want to ask you something." Jie Er let him into the room, and the two sat at the table facing each other.Unlike Lieser's room where there are finished books lying around, Jier's room is still clean and tidy, lacking a sense of life.

"What's the matter?" "It's about the team in the guild this morning." "The guild in the morning is full of teams." "It's the one discussing the new dungeon. I chatted with the team." "Oh, It's those guys who are being meddled by you." Jie Er cast a reproachful look, Lieser smiled wryly, but did not refute.The guard seemed to get himself involved in trouble, so Jie Er would inevitably want to complain.

Lieser has long been accustomed to being guarded by others, and he usually acts with discretion.But now it is rare to change a different position, and he also wants to do something that he can't do normally.He will give more generous remuneration, I hope Jieer will give it up.

"I want to know their adventurer information." "It's really rare. Do you care about them?" "I just think it's better to know first." "Learn first? I don't know too much." What Jie Er told him was very ordinary , The information that is generally circulated, on the one hand, is also because Jieer himself lacks interest in other adventurers.

They are still young, but all members have a level of C or D rank, and the team rank is C.Most of the commissions accepted are combat-type, which is typical among adventurers.Although she has a hot temper, the reviews around her are neither good nor bad.

"So, it does look like a group of young children." "I haven't been provoked before." "It means that they have self-knowledge. What's the potential?" "Ah? It will take a while." After completing today's commission, Lieser was promoted from class F to class E.Anyone can easily advance to E, but that's not the case for the following ranks.

After all, it is up to the guild to decide whether to upgrade or not, no matter how many commissions you accept, you may not be able to advance.That's right, Lieser nodded.Jie Er leaned his elbows on the table and asked him questions.

"Then, what do you want to do if you know the potential? You want to recruit those brats?" "That's not the case. Although it's just to use your free time, since you have to invest, it's better to find promising children?

"Lissel needed Jie Er, so he kept him by his side. Jie Er was aware of this. He didn't intend to raise his status, but he was not happy to be compared with those brats.

Not so good.Jie Er was thinking about what Lieser meant by "investment", when he suddenly turned his gaze to the door.A familiar sound of footsteps was coming this way.

"Is it the mistress?" "Yeah." "Ah, they came to see me." Hearing the sound of footsteps passing by the door, Liesel was convinced that the mistress had something to ask him, so he stood up.At the same time the hostess knocked on the door of the next room, Liesel also poked her head out into the corridor.

"Oh, Mr. Liesel, where are you?" "Sorry to trouble you. What's the matter?" "No, I just wanted to ask you..." The hostess walked away When he came back, he said in a low voice with a hesitant look on his face.Seeing her slightly nervous expression, Jie Er also got up and approached the two who were standing and talking.

"A guest came and said they wanted to see you for something, but looking at those boys, they really don't look like your friends..." Jieer looked down at Lissel, this person didn't have any friends who would come to the hotel to visit.

As for the possible visitors, Stad is barely possible.But Stad has a serious appearance, and even if he really came to visit, the hostess would not describe him as such.

Lieser noticed Jieer's gaze, deepened the smile on the corner of his mouth, turned to the hostess and asked, "Is he a young guy?" "Yes, he is about 20 years old, he looks a bit rude. His attitude is not that bad." You’re being polite, but oh, they’re clearly dressed like that, and they’re pretending to be honest, if they’re trying to do something bad to you, I’m wondering whether to kick them out.” “That’s probably my guest. "Listen to you, they are not acquainted friends, right? Those kids look aggressive and fierce, unlike Jieer who only looks bad on the outside, Mr. Lieser, where did you meet?" This kind of adventurer?" "No, I am also an adventurer." Until now, the hostess still forgets that Lieser is an adventurer.

Jieer was judged to be "only on the outside", while Lieser was thought to be a deceitful young master who didn't know much about the world. Both of them felt a bit complicated.

"Come on, it's impolite to keep guests waiting, let's go." "Since you've already said that, okay. Is it okay if we don't talk in the room?" "There are chairs downstairs, so let's go downstairs and talk. I borrowed the dining room from you." Liesel persuaded the hostess, held her hand like a flower protector, and gently guided her to turn around.

The hostess had nothing to do with him, so she had to walk down the stairs.Lieser followed behind her, turned his head and gave Jier a wink.After receiving Lieser's order to follow, Jieer also locked the door and walked down the stairs.

He thought as he walked, and it seemed that he would soon understand the purpose of Liesel's questions just now.

Four adventurers stood at the entrance of the inn.

They seemed to be talking during the waiting period, but when they saw Lieser and his party appearing, their voices stopped abruptly.A group of young people seemed to be spying on his face, and tried to arm themselves not to put on a low-key attitude. Seeing this, Liesel smiled, as if to reassure them.

"Mistress, I want to reserve the restaurant for a while." "Okay, then I won't go in during this time, anyway, it's still a while before dinner, just to be on the safe side, I'd like to help you hang up the sign that is being prepared. "Thank you, should I tip more?" "Oh, it's true!" The hostess laughed heartily and walked into the back of the shop.

Seeing that the other party started to make arrangements without asking why they came, the group of adventurers stared blankly at Lissel.Liesel looked back at them and opened the dining room door.

"Come in, let's sit down and talk." "Uh...um." Liesel took the lead in taking a nearby seat.There was only a table for four people in the dining room, and the adventurers casually pulled the chairs next door over and sat down opposite him.

Only Jie Er didn't sit down, he stood behind Lieser, leaned against the wall with his arms folded, adopting a spectator posture.Although it is much better than putting your hands on the hilt of the sword, the adventurers on the opposite side are still fidgeting, not knowing when the sight of the knife will be on them.

"Then, what's the matter with you guys making this special trip?" Liesel asked in a soft voice, breaking the tense atmosphere around.

The gentle voice was no different from the voice the male adventurer heard this morning, and because of this, he remembered the original purpose of coming here.That's right, he was overwhelmed by the aura of the two in front of him, and even forgot his purpose.

He fixed his eyes on Liesel, and tried to encourage himself. The person sitting opposite him was only a fledgling novice adventurer.

"(It's too late.)" Jie Er glanced over the four adventurers as if observing, and whispered a bit of contempt.While it's understandable that they're trying to take control of the conversation, I really don't know what they're misunderstanding.

Since accepting Lieser's suggestion this morning, it is impossible for them to take the lead.

"I'm Captain Ian." "Hello." It seemed that the boy named Ian was speaking on behalf of the others. Hearing his simple greeting, Liesel responded with a smile.

"Thanks to your suggestion in the morning, we are now making the fastest progress in conquering that maze." "Congratulations." Liesel expressed his congratulations, and couldn't help but wonder how the adventurers knew about each other's strategy. progress.After all, in the maze, basically you will not meet other teams.

Even if multiple teams attack the dungeon at the same time, after entering the dungeon, there will only be monsters inside besides your own team.It's unbelievable, but that's how labyrinths are, there's no way around it.

"It would be great if we could reach the bottom all the way ahead." "...We want to discuss this matter with you." "Huh?" "We're stuck again, please help us." It seems that the puzzles appeared quite frequently. Just after solving the new code, it was deadlocked again that day. This maze may be very difficult.

"Let's think about it..." Lieser had already understood the purpose of the other party's visit, but he hesitated for a moment when faced with the four pairs of eyes staring at him.Didn't know if Jieer felt that he had a bad personality, Lieser suddenly opened a palm towards him.

"I want [-]% of your customs clearance rewards." "What...!" One of the adventurers suddenly leaned out angrily, and made the noise of moving the chair with a bang.Liesel glanced at his angry face, then turned his gaze back to Ain.

"Ah, if you don't get anything in the end, it doesn't matter if you don't have to pay me." "Are you kidding! There is a limit to the lion's mouth!" "Then I would like to ask you." Lieser deliberately disturbed Elegant He leaned back in the chair leisurely, put his hands on the table, and slowly crossed his fingers.

Seeing his calm posture, the cheap chairs in the hotel might have to be upgraded accordingly, Ai En and his group subconsciously held their breath.

"I'll help you solve the puzzle and send you to the bottom of the maze, then what?" "...!" "It's none of your business, just say thank you and let it go? Do you think it's possible?" Lieser The tone of his voice was still steady, and his eyes never moved away from Ain, clearly declaring who he was talking to.The man who stretched out his body was overwhelmed by this momentum, and shrank back again.

"We didn't think that way from the beginning, of course the reward will be paid." "Really?" Lissel narrowed his eyes with a smile, and Ain and the others were taken aback.To be honest, they thought they might have a chance to pick up a bargain.

First, Lieser doesn't seem to be short of money.Second, in the guild this morning, he didn't seem interested in the new maze.The first point is Ain's unilateral prejudice. As for the second point, Lieser also wants to see what it looks like in the maze, so he is a little interested.

"But [-]% is really too much!" "Isn't it a matter of course that the achievement should be rewarded accordingly?" "We have also considered the reward, so...!" The request for remuneration was expected by Ain and the others, but the amount proposed by Liesel was simply too unacceptable.

"Don't you all come to me because you think it's impossible to clear the maze with your own strength?" "It's just that you don't have enough time!" "That has nothing to do with me." "We are the ones who put so much effort into sneaking into the maze, Fifty percent is not worth it at all." "So as I said, you pay for results, not to save effort." No matter what they said, Liesel retorted calmly, and the adventurers gradually became angry .Under normal circumstances, the scene should have fallen into a chaotic fight, and the reason why they didn't take action against Lieser was entirely because of Jieer's existence.

Because of this, Liesel spoke leisurely without hesitation.

"I think you guys seem to have misunderstood something." "What's wrong!" "You have no position to ask me to give in, understand?" These words are not at all commensurate with the warm smile on Lieser's face. He was stunned and couldn't understand what the other party said for a moment.

"I can also request a [-]% reward from teams other than yours." "!" Lost half of the treasures obtained in the maze, in exchange for the honor of being the first to conquer the maze.

Is there any team willing to accept this condition?No doubt there is.Breaking through the maze first is an irreplaceable reputation for adventurers, and it also has a significant impact on class advancement.

The reason why Ain and the others are hesitant now is because they, as the team closest to the bottom, cannot completely give up the hope of conquering the maze by themselves.

"...Other teams won't believe what a rookie says." "Don't you believe it?" Lieser smiled jokingly.Ai En was forced to speak nonsense, but what the other party said made him speechless.This morning, he only heard a little clue from Liesel and believed it, he had to believe it.Since I have this feeling, it is impossible for other teams not to notice it.

"Besides, the premise alone is wrong." "Premise?" "Yes. If you could conquer the maze by yourself, wouldn't you come here?" Ain didn't understand Lieser's words Meaning, wrinkling a bitter face, Lieser tilted his head as if urging him to respond.

"Of course, isn't this nonsense..." "Yes, of course." Lieser untied his crossed fingers, put one hand on his chest as a signal, turned his gaze to Jie Er behind him, and then slowly turned back to Ai Er. En body.

"I can also challenge myself tomorrow." Immediately afterwards, Ain and the others thought of this possibility for the first time, and couldn't help but shudder.

They never thought about it.Suppose Liseer and Jieer sneaked into the maze, wouldn't they still be able to reach the bottom?Absolutely impossible.

Even in the mid-level area they are attacking, the strength of the monsters will not fall into a hard fight.That being the case, it is even more impossible for these monsters to block the man known as "One Sword", and it is impossible for the puzzles in the maze to stop Lieser's footsteps.

"I was wrong, try again!" "Ain!" Ain slammed the table with a "bang" and stood up.His teammates all made surprised voices, but he had no time to take care of it, he was only thinking about reaching an agreement with Lieser first.

"We want the honor of being the first to conquer the maze!" "What about the reward?" "[-]% for you! No, only [-]%! Please give us [-]%!" After hearing what Ain said, the teammates also understood.It's not that I spend [-]% of the customs clearance rewards to invite Lieser to help, but Lieser distributes [-]% of the customs clearance rewards and the honor of breaking through the maze to them.

From this point of view, this is an exceptional condition.Everyone understands that, as Lieser said, they have absolutely no position to "ask the other party to make concessions". Instead, they should be grateful to Dade, which is a kindness they can never repay.

"I'm begging you too!" "We must be the first to break through the maze!" "Please help us!" The four adventurers leaned out one after another, begging him desperately.Liesel couldn't help smiling when he saw this, they were a group of shrewd children, they were worthy of being promoted to rank C at a young age, and the guild's evaluation was very appropriate.

"Jie Er?" "Isn't this your deal? You can do whatever you like." Lieser turned around and asked while the four were staring at him desperately.Jie Er sighed, it seems that he has no objection, since this is the case, presumably this cooperation will not be condemned by other adventurers.

Liesel narrowed his eyes towards the four pairs of eyes and spoke mischievously.

"Deal." Ai En and his team let out deafening cheers, as happy as if they had successfully broken through the maze.Really alive, Lieser thought and spoke to them.

"Both of us want to avoid telling the truth. If you see a code that can't be solved, please hand it to Stad—" "Eh..." "Don't." "Eh?" Lieser originally planned to propose First hand over the password to Stadt for safekeeping, and then hand it over to Stadt after unlocking the code, but was stopped by Ain and Jieer who looked reluctant.

The reason why Ain objected, needless to say, was because he was afraid of Stad.No adventurer is not afraid of Stard, not hate, but pure fear.As for Jie Er, he was sure that Stad would hate this group of brats.

"He's obviously a good boy." Lieser's words didn't get any approval.

"Then leave it to the hostess over here. You can find me directly when I'm in the room." "Then there's no way to push forward in one go." "It's rare to have a chance to break through the maze, so don't be lazy." If Leaving the maze every time they got into a stalemate would definitely waste a lot of time, so they had to solve the parts that could be solved by themselves, and only the puzzles that they couldn't figure out could be brought back to Lissel to solve.

"'Use spare time to invest'..." Looking at Lissel and the others who were talking, Jieer muttered to himself.

In the conversation before Ain and the others' visit, Liesel must have expected this.In short, he plans to accept [-]% of the customs clearance reward, and since the remaining [-]% must be distributed to others, it is better to distribute it to meaningful teams.That's it.

"Cooperating in this way won't slow down the pace of the strategy, right?" "Well, many teams will spend several days just solving the problem." "Don't tell me that the monsters are too strong...you can't move forward, I It will feel a bit wasteful." "How is it possible!" Ain and the others were awed by Liesel's aura not long ago, but at this moment they showed no sign of flinching.

It was Lieser who deliberately aroused their emotions, Jieer was so convinced in his heart that he admired him instead.Not only can you control your own emotions, but you can even induce the emotions of the other party. In aristocratic society, there must be no disadvantages.Especially when Lieser did it subconsciously, it was even more terrifying.

After a short discussion, Ain left the hotel with his teammates, with sincere thanks in his eyes.After watching them leave, Lieser greeted Jier.

"Thank you." "You too." Jie Er also smiled back, narrowing his eyes and squinting at him.

"It seems that even the debate can't trouble the noble man?" Liesel blinked and smiled brightly.

"It's too much to say it's a debate, but it's just a kitten playing around?" Lieser touched the front of the middle finger and ring finger with his thumb, opening and closing the animal's mouth.Seeing this gesture, Jie Er's smile deepened, this person was really scary, he whispered happily.

"That action here is what a fox means." "Huh."
