Chapter 432: Registering Adventurer Identity, a Quirky Meeting Commission
The dangerous Wanglong Mountain Range—Broly moved through it without obstruction.
Unfortunately, after spending five days in the Wanglong Mountain Range, Broly still hadn't found a magic beast baby like Chomusuke waiting for him inside.
Fortunately, Broly wasn't completely empty-handed; following the warm reminder from the God of Humanity every night after he slept, he killed the magic beasts that attacked him on the road and collected the valuable precious materials from their bodies.
"Once you leave the Wanglong Mountain Range, you'll be in the territory of the Wanglong Kingdom. The Wanglong Kingdom counts as one of the only two great powers on the Central Main Road, second only to the Asura Kingdom, with vast territory and fertile land. There are many rivers here, and many small countries depend on it."
"And tomorrow, after you leave the Wanglong Mountain Range, to the south there is a town called Kule. Inside is a young lady from an aristocratic family who is about to face a tragic fate in life. You might go take a look—perhaps she is your destined partner..."
The God of Humanity was a good guide. Although he couldn't guide Broly in the Wanglong Mountain Range, he gave him a direction before he left the Wanglong Mountain Range.
The next day, Broly got up from the corpse of a bear-type magic beast, ate it as breakfast, and then headed straight for the town the God of Humanity had guided him to.
"Outsider without proof of identity, what are you doing in Kule Town?"
Broly lined up to enter the town, but at the town's front door he was stopped and questioned because of his identity.
"I'm here to sell monster materials."
Broly answered according to the God of Humanity's advice from last night, and took out a magic stone to show the guards.
"Eh, a magic exploding bear's monster core. This is a dangerous magic beast that only B-rank Adventurers can subjugate. Are you an Adventurer?"
The guard at the town's front door looked at the monster core in the short boy's hand and asked in disbelief.
"I am an Adventurer, but not an Adventurer from here, and I don't have an Adventurer's credential from here."
Broly answered honestly, and indeed in the KonoSuba World he was a top-tier Adventurer.
"A halfling from the Miris Continent side..."
One of the guards said quietly in slang, but he didn't know Broly's Crystal Palace came with a translation function.
"I'm a Saiyan."
Broly corrected him.
"Alright, then, Mr. Saiyan, you're here for the market, right?"
The other guard asked.
"Mm."
Broly nodded.
"Welcome to Kule Town, but please don't cause trouble in Kule Town. I hope you can get a good price from that group of cunning purchasing merchants who are also here for the market!"
After the middle-aged guard finished speaking, he let Broly in.
This town was near a trade route, and every year at the end of the year, many merchant groups would come to purchase resources produced by the Wanglong Mountain Range.
And villagers from surrounding villages, as well as Adventurers wandering in the Wanglong Mountain Range, would during this period bring the good things they had obtained over the year here to sell.
Broly had arrived at just the right time, but he didn't care much about the liveliness in Kule Town. He just looked around at the people passing by along the way, and according to the Forest Elf's description from the dream God of Humanity last night, he found a stall with a sign for the Elliot Merchant Group.
"I want to sell monster materials."
Broly directly stated his purpose.
"Please put the materials up. We need to appraise them."
A gray-robed middle-aged man said calmly, pointing to the table in front of him, gesturing for Broly to put the things on the table.
And when Broly took out the materials he had collected along the way from the Wanglong Mountain Range from his Crystal Palace, this man could no longer remain calm.
"Customer, this is such a big deal, I might not be able to make the decision."
Whether they were purchasing merchants or stall vendors selling materials in their hands, everyone around stared with their mouths wide open at the various monster materials piled up like a small mountain.
"Oh my god, those are earth dragon lizard's sharp claws, right? I saw them once the year before last..."
Some professional passersby expressed their amazement in shock.
"I thought it was a child, but unexpectedly at least a Saint-level expert. Fortunately, they didn't make a move..."
Some ill-intentioned gazes then retreated. This world had swords and magic, but the era was close to the Middle Ages, so it was unstable.
The materials Broly threw out, and the method of throwing materials out of thin air, were not something just anyone in this world could do. He was judged to be a Saint-level or above expert, and the ranks in this world were divided into Lower, Middle, Upper, Saint, King, Emperor, and God.
Although Saint-level was only the fourth rank, in a small place like Kule Town, it counted as a rarely seen expert.
"Dong dong dong~"
That was the sound of boots. And beside the middle-aged man who had left earlier, a handsome youth followed, dressed very neatly, with long brown hair tied in a single ponytail.
"My name is Nataea, and I'm the person in charge of the Elliot Merchant Group."
This person introduced herself, then immediately said.
"May I ask, Customer, are you planning to sell this pile of precious monster materials beside you to our Elliot Merchant Group?"
"Yes."
Broly looked at the handsome youth before him with some disappointment. The God of Humanity had told him the other person's true gender, but unfortunately, the other person was not a Capture Target recognized by the Crystal Palace.
"Our Dalis Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer a good price to purchase your materials. Please consider us."
As soon as the words fell, someone beside them spoke.
"We..."
Other purchasing merchants also followed suit one after another.
"Everyone, you're not following the rules by doing this."
Nataea stepped forward, looked at the peers speaking out around her, and said.
"The other person hasn't sold the goods yet. Can't we purchase them?"
This behavior was indeed not proper, but Broly's monster materials were of good quality and high rank. At a glance, anyone could tell they were good things.
If they could purchase them, they would definitely make a profit. And materials of such good quality were also easier to sell.
"Do you all want to compare wealth with my Elliot Merchant Group? Or, from now on, whenever someone brings good materials to sell at your place, can my Elliot Merchant Group use similar methods to cut in?"
"Alright, we were a bit rude. Young Master of the Elliot family, your merchant group has priority."
The purchasing merchants around showed embarrassed expressions and temporarily retreated for now.
"This one..."
"My name is Broly."
"This Broly... hmm, sir, we need to appraise the price first."
Natasha Elliot originally wanted to say 'little one', but reacted in time realizing the person before her might be a halfling, and what halflings hate most is other races treating them like children, so she hurriedly swallowed the word 'little'.
"Please go ahead, but I'm in a hurry, hope it can be a bit faster."
The other party wasn't a capture target; Broly wanted to go to other places in this town to search for a wife who might exist.
"No problem."
Natasha agreed, and together with the middle-aged man beside her, began tallying the monster materials on the ground.
"Mr. Broly, the monster materials you brought are excellent; our Elliot Merchant Group is willing to purchase them at a price of 39 Wanglong Kingdom gold coins and 5 Aster Kingdom silver coins."
This world's currency system is gold, silver, copper, but the minted value differs between countries.
Overall, the gold and silver coins of the Aster Kingdom, the strongest human nation, are worth the most.
Of course, speaking only of gold coins, the second strongest nation, the Wanglong Kingdom, is not bad either.
"If you feel..."
The price Natasha gave wasn't low, but there was still room for negotiation.
"Okay."
However, Broly directly nodded and agreed.
"Uh..."
This instead caught the woman dressed as a youth somewhat off guard.
"Is there a problem?"
"Actually there's still room to negotiate; you can ask for a higher price."
Natasha said.
"I'm in a hurry."
Broly emphasized again.
"Quickly bring the money for this sir."
The beautiful youth shouted.
Soon, Broly and this person completed the transaction, one hand paying money, the other handing over goods.
"Is this the style of the strong?"
Watching Broly's small retreating figure leaving without even counting the money, Natasha exclaimed.
And Broly, having left the market, was thinking about how to more efficiently search this town for a capture target who might exist.
"Eh, got it~"
Based on past experience, Broly quickly thought of a method.
He grabbed a passerby and asked: "Does this town have an Adventurer's Guild, or a place that handles large commissions?"
"You little ghost... hmm, little grandpa, go straight down this street, past three intersections, turn right, the biggest building is this town's Adventurer's Guild."
"Thanks, this is your reward~"
Broly flicked the silver coin in his hand to the other party; the passerby who caught the silver coin beamed with joy.
Adventurer's Guilds usually double as tavern businesses; even in daytime, even now during the big market day, there are quite a few people inside drinking.
Broly pushed the door open and entered, smelling a scent very fitting for adventurers; he went straight to the Adventurer's Counter.
"May I ask, is there anything you need help with?"
The counter lady behind the counter asked.
"I want to register as an adventurer."
"May I ask, are you a halfling?"
"Saiyan."
"Uh, then how old are you?"
"You still ask age?"
"Usually we don't ask, but adventurer work is relatively dangerous; all Adventurer's Guilds on the Central Continent will not let a child who hasn't reached 15 years old register as an adventurer."
The adult age in this world is fifteen years old.
"So, I just need to prove I can handle adventurer work, right?"
Broly asked.
"Hmm, that works too."
The counter lady nodded.
"Bang~"
The next moment, the counter before her was smashed to pieces.
And the huge commotion also made most people inside the Adventurer's Guild look over.
"I'll compensate for the damaged goods at full price; can you register me as an adventurer now?"
Broly handed over a Wanglong Kingdom gold coin and asked.
"Uh, registering as an adventurer only needs twenty large copper coins."
The counter lady was still quite professional.
"Plus the counter, one silver coin from you will do."
Broly swapped to a silver coin, gave it to her, and received this world's adventurer identity card.
It's just that he's the lowest-ranked E-rank Adventurer.
As for why he registered as an Adventurer, besides solving his identity problem, it was also because Broly helped him find a job that could earn money in this world.
As for why he wanted a job to earn money, it was because he was about to spend a lot of money to handle his own affairs.
"I want to post a large commission."
Broly took out two gold coins and put the rest of the money into the counter sister's hand.
"Okay, may I ask what commission?"
The counter sister glanced at the gold coins in the money bag and felt this must definitely be an S-rank mission.
"I'm looking for my destined partner, and I hope you can gather the women of this town as much as possible into a place where I can see them all at a glance."
"Ah?!"
Hearing it was this kind of bizarre commission, the counter sister was left staring with her mouth open.
And also staring with their mouths open were those adventurers drinking inside the Adventurer's Guild but paying attention to the situation here.
"How could such a commission possibly be done?"
Someone said.
"Anyone willing to come take a look at me, I'm willing to pay them."
That's right, this was Broly's good idea: spending money to let others appear before him.
"Uh, then how much do you pay?"
An adventurer asked curiously.
"I don't know how much money is appropriate, can you help me?"
Broly looked at the counter sister in front of him and started to entrust her.
"Even if it's just a small copper coin, I think most people would be willing to be looked at by you once, but if it's everyone, I think at least five small copper coins would be needed."
The counter sister answered.
"Then five small copper coins it is."
Broly nodded and looked at the adventurers inside the Adventurer's Guild.
"And you all can publicize this matter."
"If we publicize it, how much money do you give us?"
"I don't give money, but you can collect money from the people you find."
Broly gave the counter sister a quotation of one silver coin, and she quickly put this quite strange Find Person Commission in the most conspicuous position on the commission wall.
Many adventurers thought for a while, feeling this was a good commission, and hurriedly accepted it and ran out.
And as for Broly, he discovered two S-rank Subjugation Quests on the commission wall that were relatively easy to complete and had very high rewards.
When he was preparing to accept them, he was told that E-rank Adventurers cannot accept missions spanning so many ranks.
After thinking about it, he asked: "Then if I bring back the corpse of the subjugation target monster from the commission, can it count as me completing it?"
"Uh..."
The counter sister had never heard of such a thing; after thinking, she said she would go ask the Guild Master of this Adventurer's Guild.
"If you can do it, then of course it can be specially counted as completed for you, but don't overestimate yourself and then lose your life."
The town Adventurer's Guild Master, a Saint-rank Warrior profession, had long noticed the situation here, but instead walked over directly and admonished Broly.
"Fine."
Broly didn't take the admonition to heart, noted the monster information on the S-rank Subjugation Quest, and directly pushed the door open and went out.
More than four hours passed; when it was approaching noon, Broly returned, and he directly threw the monster corpse from the S-rank Subjugation Quest in front of the guild counter.
"Your mission information has a problem; I searched for this big dog for a long time, but I still found it. Help me settle the quest."
The Saint-rank Guild Master looked at the Terror Wolf that possibly only a King-level Powerhouse could deal with, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.
He really wanted to ask who Broly's real identity was, but after thinking, he felt he might not have the qualification to ask.
"My authority can only change your badge to an A-rank Adventurer's badge; if you want to officially register as an S-rank Adventurer, you still need to go to the Adventurer's Guild in a big city of the Wanglong Kingdom to conduct certification."
"Of course, the rewards for the two S-rank commissions you completed will be paid as usual; at the same time, I can also write you a Guarantee Letter, guaranteeing the authenticity of the S-rank commissions you completed."
Broly didn't object; after receiving the A-rank Adventurer's badge and this Guild Master's Guarantee Letter, he waited inside the Adventurer's Guild.
In the evening, the Find Person Mission was completed; the women of Kule Town who heard there was money to be made were waiting on the big square of Kule Town to collect money.
And Broly just stood on the high platform of the square, glanced, and showed a disappointed expression; this town did not have the person he was seeking.
"Uh, Mr. Broly, aren't you looking for your destined partner?"
Watching the boy jump off the platform in a posture of preparing to leave, the Saint-rank Guild Master who came over here to look at the situation couldn't help but ask.
"I am looking, but obviously, there is no one here who is the person I want to find."
"Uh..."
The old Guild Master watched Broly leave directly, opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Broly did not directly leave Kule Town because it was already late.
And he also had to wait for the settlement of the Find Person Commission he posted.
The remaining money would be returned to him at that time.
Just as Broly found a restaurant that locals said tasted not bad to eat dinner, someone came to his side.
"Mr. Broly, what a coincidence; may I sit by your side and dine with you?"
The person who came was precisely the beautiful youth dressed as a man from the Elliot Merchant Group whom he had met in the morning.
