However, this approach had little effect. Doing something wrong was doing something wrong, and it wouldn't change because of Aqua's fuss.
Luna could only laugh dryly, looking at Roa with pleading eyes.
Roa said helplessly: "Aqua, don't do this. Isn't this happening because of you?"
"What do you mean because of us? I clearly risked my life to try to complete this mission. My arm was even bitten by that damn wolf. And you're telling me that I can't get a reward? Are you kidding me?"
Roa said to Luna speechlessly: "Just tell me what the problem is."
Luna scratched the hair beside her ear, a little embarrassed: "Um, then I'll just say it. The reason why you can't get the reward is because the client's ranch was destroyed. The damage caused was greater than the wolf pack's attack. So the guild has already used your reward as compensation and returned it to the client. And, you must also repay 15 million Eris in damages."
"Wh-what? 15 million?"
Aqua looked dazed, her expression becoming extremely stiff.
Not only Aqua, but Kazuma and Megumin, who were standing aside, were also extremely stiff. Megumin even silently retreated behind Kazuma, preparing to slip away at any time.
However, the next moment, a ruthless iron hand grabbed Megumin's collar tightly. Roa's voice came faintly from her ear: "Megumin, don't think about running. You caused all of this."
"What do you mean 'caused by me'? Do you have no responsibility at all? Don't pass the buck to me."
Seeing the three were about to fall into an argument, Roa's calm voice came from behind them.
"Let's split the debt equally, do you have any objections?"
Aqua wanted to say something, but meeting Roa's gaze, the goddess shrunk her neck and dared not speak.
Looking at the reactions of the three, Roa nodded and said, "Let's do it that way."
The debt of the three rose another level, and the total debt reached a staggering 30 million Eris.
Perhaps because they had incurred so much debt for no reason, everyone became listless and looked a little sickly.
Seeing that everyone's interest was not high, Roa didn't say anything about going on another mission. He told everyone to get lost and remember to come back tomorrow to gather, and he would find another front-liner.
Everyone agreed that the team could be expanded. The current team was already taking shape, and it really lacked a class like a warrior. If Roa could find a qualified warrior, it could make up for the impact of not having a front-liner.
Strictly speaking, this series of tragedies occurred because there was no front-liner.
Kazuma was a roaming support type, and Aqua couldn't withstand the frontal assault at all. Even if Roa went to divide the battlefield, the remaining few magic wolves were enough to give everyone a hard time.
This time, as long as the three of them reflected a little, they would be able to know where the problem lay.
So everyone had no objection to Roa's decision. On the contrary, they were very supportive.
Since there were no objections, Roa directly waved everyone away.
Then, the next time would be spent sitting in the Adventurer's Guild, quietly waiting for that masochistic knight to appear.
As usual, Roa sat on a chair in the guild. The young man called for a pot of wine and sat alone on the chair, waiting somewhat lazily for the target to appear.
The recruitment requirements for teammates had already been sent out, and he was waiting for the other party to show up on their own initiative so that he could naturally invite them to join him.
On the bounty board, there was now an additional recruitment task from Roa's adventure team.
"Recruiting teammates, upper-level classes preferred, requirements: front-liner, knight, with considerable stamina. Meeting place: first floor of the Adventurer's Guild. Person in charge: Pamela."
Since the three idiots weren't here, Roa didn't bother to hide it and simply squatted here for that masochist.
The waiting time didn't last long. Roa's gaze quickly spotted the blonde knight wearing heavy armor, appearing next to the bounty board. The girl looked around and quickly came to a stop in front of the task sheet that Roa had posted, staring at the content for a few moments. Then, she tore off the request form, looked around, and quickly locked her target on Roa.
After hesitating for a moment, the young woman walked towards Roa.
Roa took a slight sip of the wine in his glass, not surprised by the other party's choice.
At this time, she didn't have a team yet, so this choice was completely expected.
The young knight quickly arrived in front of Roa. Her knight's outfit was mainly white and yellow, with a red bow on the white breastplate. The young knight also had beautiful blonde hair, tied back in a ponytail.
The edges of the knight's armor were adorned with yellow runes. It was a set of armor that looked very solid. The crisp sound of chainmail clashing could be heard as she walked.
The girl came to Roa's front, coughed lightly, and said to Roa, "Um, I heard you need a qualified vanguard here? Let me introduce myself, my name is Darkness, and I am a paladin, an upper-level class, level six."
Roa's gaze shifted from the wine in his hand to Darkness's face.
Darkness had a good figure, the kind that was very plump.
Her level was below Mitsuri Kanroji and above Luna, a middle level.
Of course, such a figure was also heavyweight among girls, the kind that Roxy would be envious of.
As a noble lady, Darkness's appearance was also quite durable. This knight was quite beautiful, with delicate features and no flaws in her appearance.
Well, that was if she didn't have any strange fetishes and could really sit down honestly.
Roa stood up and shook hands with Darkness. The black-rimmed glasses flashed coldly. The young man was tall and straight. Darkness was considered tall among girls, but she was still a head shorter than Roa.
Roa said, "My name is Pamela, nice to meet you, I'll be your captain from now on."
Darkness was slightly stunned when she heard this, and a strange expression appeared on her face. The girl behaved quite normally at this time. Darkness tentatively asked, "Don't you need to introduce anything else? You're just suddenly letting me join?"
Roa thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That's true. There are actually four people on our team. With you, there will be five. A high priest, an adventurer, a magician, and a, um, a thief."
Darkness nodded and said, "Is that so? The team composition is quite comprehensive."
The girl's gaze also stayed on Roa. At this time, the girl truly began to examine the person in front of her.
His appearance was unremarkable, mainly because his glasses covered most of his face.
He had black hair and a black head, with waist-length black hair. His figure was straight and slender. Although he didn't give a strong sense of presence at first glance, after looking at him a few more times, you would find that the young man was the kind who could inexplicably give others a sense of reliability.
However, the next moment, Darkness's gaze noticed the pattern on the young man's collar. Her whole body stiffened, and her expression became very interesting at this moment.
That was the pattern of the imperial royal family.
Darkness seemed to be afraid that she had misread it. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at it again.
She immediately felt that her whole body was not well.
The small mark formed by the interweaving of two swords could not be found if you didn't look carefully.
This kind of medal can generally only be worn by the royal family or close ministers around the royal family.
And the current royal family is actually just those few.
And there are only a few favored ministers around them, and there are very few of those who can leave the royal capital.
With a little thought, Darkness could deduce a lot of things.
Except for the time when she was confused, Darkness was usually very witty.
In this instant, Darkness's brain thought a lot. Looking at the young man's mediocre appearance, she quickly selected one candidate after another in her mind.
First of all, the other party could not be a member of the royal family. The royal family could not run here. As a noble, Darkness's family was also very close to the royal family, and she had a good understanding of when those big figures in the royal capital would come out.
Roa was so young, even if he disguised his age, he would definitely not be very old. Combining this with the rumors from the royal capital, Darkness quickly locked on a target.
Roa Greyrat.
Nickname: Controller of the Atmosphere.
It is said that he is good at casting magic. Although the magic he releases is not as terrifying as explosion magic, its power is also quite terrifying. When he casts it, he can change the color of the sky and change the surrounding terrain.
If that was all, the other party could only be regarded as a powerful magician at most.
But his swordsmanship is also quite good. It is said that he defeated the leading knight of the palace and thus gained a lot of convenience.
In other words, the other party is a swordsmanship master and a superb magician, which is very terrifying.
Most of the adventurers in this world rely on the blessing of their own profession, and basically cannot escape the framework of the adventurer card.
Generally speaking, if it says magician on it, then you can basically only be a magician, and the skills you will learn are also related to magic.
If you are a swordsmanship master, then you will basically only know swordsmanship skills.
This kind of professional bonus is quite considerable, but the limitations are also not small.
Like Megumin, a useless person, can cast a trick comparable to a king-level magic at level six.
Of course, the limitation is that if you leave your profession, for example, if a magician has a cramp in his brain and wants to learn swordsmanship, the effort he puts in will definitely be a thousand times the effort of learning magic, and the effect may not be good.
People's time is limited, so naturally everyone cannot give up the near and seek the far, and pursue some other things.
It is precisely because of this that Roa is so terrible.
Perhaps because Darkness's reaction was too strange, Roa looked at Darkness with some doubts and asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
After the young man finished speaking, he reached out and touched his cheek. There was nothing on his face.
Darkness swallowed and her expression became even more flustered at this moment.
Darkness is a Templar Knight. Although she is a masochist, she is indeed a knight.
The profession in this world will subtly affect a person's character. For example, knights will become firm and upright, and mages will become more pursuing knowledge.
Of course, this change is not absolute.
If a person is bad to the bone, even if he is transferred to a knight, it will not reverse his bad character, at most it can only be regarded as a slight improvement.
But there is no doubt that Darkness really wants to become a decent knight.
Otherwise, Darkness would not have chosen to run out, leaving a good noble lady and coming to a remote area to be an adventurer.
As a knight, she naturally admires higher knights.
In a sense, Roa, who is also a knight, is actually Darkness's role model.
That's right, Darkness actually admires Roa quite a bit.
The deeds in the royal capital spread, coupled with the deification of the rumors and the deliberate publicity of the royal family, Roa's image became tall and great.
It is almost a perfect person.
A young genius, upright, sincere, self-disciplined, constantly improving himself every day, he has all the virtues that a knight should have, and finally achieved such achievements, and became famous in the fight against the Demon King's army.
It is also because of this that the young man was awarded the Imperial Knight of Honor Medal.
Of course, part of the reason for this publicity is because of Iris.
Darkness coughed lightly and her expression became dignified and solemn. For some reason, when she recognized the young man's identity, the girl's attitude became much more serious.
The young man looked at Darkness strangely. Roa saw the other party's restraint in his eyes. Roa didn't know that he had been recognized by the other party. What he was wearing was indeed the set issued by the royal family.
It's no wonder Roa, who would have imagined that someone would be able to recognize his identity just by his uniform.
As for why he didn't change into other clothes, that goes without saying, of course it's because the clothes issued by the royal family are quite comfortable to wear.
Not to mention anything else, whether it is the knight's uniform or any of the shirts and coats inside, the materials used are quite luxurious, and they are made of materials that only high-quality monsters will drop, and they are sewn with silk spit out by cold insects. Not only is it comfortable to wear, but it also has a certain resistance to magic. Of course, Roa didn't care about this resistance.
But it is indeed comfortable to wear, and this set of uniforms is also custom-made, in order to distinguish Roa from the knights in the royal capital.
Except for the fact that the styles are somewhat similar, ordinary people really can't recognize it.
What's more, Roa didn't wear that knight's uniform, but only wore a short shirt, but even so, he was recognized by Darkness.
