"Wake up~!"

"Wake up~!"

Anno heard an ethereal cry, and his consciousness gradually became clear.

But it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was taking a nap, and the milk tea takeaway should be coming soon.

In the next instant, several ugly goblins surrounded him and stabbed him with weapons.

"Ah~!"

Anno suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from a nightmare.

There were no goblins in front of him, no blood.

There is only the blue sky, the white clouds fluttering in the wind, and the sound of trickling water.

A cool breeze brushed across his cheeks.

"Is it already dawn?"

Anno yawned, stretched out his right hand, and covered it in front of his forehead, adapting to the outside light.

His head hurt a little, Anno couldn't help but closed his eyes and shook his head.

Getting up from the shabby room, Anno tidied up his clothes and walked to the river not far away to wash his face.

Looking at the reflection on the water, Anno froze.

Being chased by goblins, summoning goblins, everything that happened yesterday was not a dream.

After finally running to this small town called Gruul, he was stopped by the guards.

After some explanation, the town guards took Anno as a suffering traveler.

A guard saw that Anno was injured and led him to the church in the center of the town.

There is an old priest in the church who can cast healing magic.

But you need to pay for a silver coin.

Anno must have no money.

But he got a cloth bag from the goblin.

Opened the cloth bag and rummaged through it, and found that there was only a bunch of useless debris in it except for two broken silver coins and an animal tooth.

Originally, Anno was still glad that he touched the body, but when he took out the silver coins, the old priest's words made him dumbfounded.

"The silver coin is too badly damaged. This silver coin is only worth 30 coppers!"

Normally, 1 silver coin is equal to 100 copper plates!

Anno didn't know if what the old priest said was true or not, but the silver coins were indeed damaged.

When Anno took out the second broken silver coin, the old priest still shook his head.

"The two together are only worth 80 copper coins!"

The old priest sighed and finally accepted the two broken silver coins.

But he had a request, that is, after Anno became rich, he should return the remaining 20 copper coins.

Then, the old priest cast healing magic on Anno's left hand.

This was the first time Anno had seen magic in nineteen years.

I saw the old priest's staff emitting a soft light, and the arrow wound on his forearm and the wound on his left hand also flashed with light.

After a few seconds, the pain no longer came from the wound.

"Okay, I can only take this step. If you want to grow your severed finger back, you need to go to Valcam City and find a senior priest to heal it!"

The old priest's words made Anno stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his arrow wound and the left hand bitten by the goblin had indeed healed, but the bitten thumb was still bare!

The thumb is very useful.

Without a thumb, he can't even hold things steady, and his left hand is half useless.

However, Anno could only accept it.

Better to lose a finger than to lose your life!

Afterward, he talked with the old priest for a long time and learned some basic knowledge about this world.

Anno is now on the continent of Angomulos.

Humans, demihumans, dwarves, elves, and a large number of monsters live on the continent.

Among them, the Kingdom of Nigal, the Principality of Oreber, and the Empire of Roland are three countries established by human beings, which have always resisted the invasion of monsters.

The small town of Gruul belongs to the territory of the Nigal Kingdom.

The city of Valcam, as the old priest said, is located in the north of the town of Gruul, and the two are almost thirty kilometers apart.

Valcam is the largest city on the southern border of the Nigal kingdom.

There are not only senior priests in the city but also a large number of professionals and mentors in various occupations.

On the continent of Angomulos, there are six training routes for humans.

They are warriors, knights, magicians, hunters, priests, thieves, etc.

The way for human beings to become stronger is to choose one of them as a profession.

Vocational skills can be taught by tutors by paying a certain amount of money to tutors!

After you have a career, you can choose to join the army, become a soldier of the country, and resist the attack of monsters.

They can also be recruited by various families or chambers of commerce and become guards.

Or join a mercenary group and accept commissions to make money.

Or continue to practice and become stronger, get a tutoring certificate, and teach new people in any city within the national territory.

There are only more than 2,000 people in the small town of Gruul, there are no resources nearby, and the living standard is low.

There are basically ordinary people in the town, so there are no professional tutors.

The old priest used to go out from the small town of Gruul, and he has never achieved anything. When he got old, he chose to come back.

Speaking of the end, Anno's stomach "grumbled" loudly.

The old priest gave Anno a piece of brown bread and water, gave him the location of the slum, and let Anno leave!

Ghetto!

As the name suggests, it is a place where a group of people who cannot even guarantee food and clothing live.

Most of the people here have escaped from villages that have been invaded by monsters.

They are homeless or disabled and can only survive in the slums of small towns.

The only two broken silver coins on Anno's body have paid for the treatment. At present, it can be said that he is penniless, and the slum is the best place for him.

There, it is better to find a shabby house and sleep for a night than to sleep on the street.

After all, the season has just entered summer, and the nights are still very cold.

Anno fled all the way, indeed hungry and tired.

Although the brown bread was hard and tasted bad, he still ate it in a few mouthfuls and drank the water smoothly.

After filling his stomach a little, Anno walked towards the slum that the old priest pointed to.

It was dark and there were not many people on the side of the road.

But the dilapidated houses in the slums that could collapse at any time are still easily discernible.

Anno walked to the slum and saw many people in ragged clothes like himself, huddled in dilapidated houses.

These people also saw Anno, but when they found that Anno was not much better than them, they stopped paying attention.

Anno searched around and found a place with only a wall and no roof and lay down.

He was so sleepy that he passed out shortly after.

......

"It's been a day, is my takeaway still outside?" Anno squatted beside the river, thinking of the milk tea he had reserved before crossing.

"Ah~, I really want to drink another glass of milk tea!"

Anno let out a groan and dragged his hungry body towards the center of the town.

The old priest said yesterday that the animal tooth in his hand should be able to exchange some copper coins from the merchant. Anno plans to go to the market now.
