Alsar Chapter 19 : The Village Near Calhea (Baunov)

After a few hours of running through the forest, we've finally arrived at Baunov.

The village is really small, especially if I were to compare it to Pedrell.

Wooden fence surrounds this small village, instead of high wall made from bricks like in Pedrell.

But when I step inside the village, I realize even though this village is small, it's brimming with people.

I can see people with all kind of builds chattering together of having a debate with a merchant regarding their goods.

"We've arrived~ First thing first, we will need to drop William in the stable. Ren-chan remember to never let go of my hand or it will be hard for me to find you in this crowd~"

"Certainly the chance of me getting lost is pretty high. This place is more crowded than I expected. Are all of these people here for subjugation quest too?"

Chris-san gently help me to get down from William and he immediately clasp our hand together.

We held hand together back when we were shopping so I don't really mind if we do it again.

"Yup~ Not just adventurer, the merchants also gathered here during the subjugation quest period. If I'm not wrong, the population of this village is about 200 people and judging from the crowds, I think there's about 70-80 adventurers here and if you include the traveling merchants, there's maybe about 100-200 outsiders here."

"I see, wherever there's people, the merchants will also flock together for better profits but.. 80 adventurers huh.. That's a lot.."

If there's no subjugation quest, this village would be doomed for sure.

I heard that the influx of monster during the subjugation period is incredible. Thankfully there's a lot of adventurer gathered every year to wipe the monsters.

But..80 people.. If all of them already have a party, I doubt I can make myself useful here.

"Yeah, but as you can see there's also a lot of solo adventurer like me. I think the other two that Malik mentioned also works solo most of the time since they're a magic swordsman too."

"Ah that's right..! Even though Malik-san told me to meet up with them, I still don't know how to find them."

Since they're Malik-san's acquaintances they must be really strong too so it's no wonder for them to work solo.

But...How do I find them in this crowd..?

"You don't need to worry about that~ I'm sure we will find them eventually, afterall those two stands out a lot."

"Stands out..like Chris-san then."

Chris-san, you need to take a better look at yourself before you start talking about other people.

I can practically see glittering aura around you.

"Eh?! Me?! How mean~ Rather than me, I think Ren-chan attracts even more attention than me."

"That's for sure. Being the shortest person in here will make me sticks out like sore thumb. Ah.. Saying it myself makes me sad.. I know I'm short but to have the fact slammed in front of my face still hurts me.."

I've never met any adventurer shorter than me.

When I were in Pedrell, I don't really stands out because people often mistake me as a child but in this village, no matter where I see there's only adventurers here.
