NOVEL NEXT Chapter 172: Orario
Chapter 172 - Orario
Mahiro had already given these three adventurers a chance.
These people were still thinking of blackmailing him, so there was no need to be polite.
He directly raised his hand and slapped the adventurer who tried to rob him in the face.
A crisp and loud slap echoed in the dim alley, and the adventurer was sent flying to the side.
With a loud bang, the adventurer crashed into the wall and then slid down.
The other two adventurers were stunned and stared blankly at this scene.
They never thought that this pretty boy would dare to fight back, even when surrounded by the three of them.
This unexpected turn of events left them momentarily stunned.
"Ow..."
The adventurer who had been slapped to the ground remained there, slumped with his back against the wall, unable to get up.
His face soon became swollen, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
His head was buzzing, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness.
"Asshole!"
The adventurer held his cheek, shook his head, staggered to his feet, and glared angrily at Mahiro.
'His physical fitness is not bad,' Mahiro observed.
His blow just now wasn't too heavy nor too light.
If an ordinary sturdy adult had received such a blow, he would have stayed down for a long time, but this adventurer got up so quickly.
'An adventurer? I wonder what level he is,' Mahiro mused.
Mahiro estimated that the adventurer's level couldn't be too high; otherwise, he wouldn't have been knocked down by a slap that wasn't too heavy.
He glanced at the three of them with interest, and his indifferent eyes began to change, as if he saw easy prey.
"Damn, this kid actually dares to fight back!"
The other two adventurers finally reacted and glared fiercely at Mahiro.
"Boy, We'll teach you a lesson today!"
The beaten adventurer held his swollen cheek; his ugly features twisted together, eyes blazing with fury, looking even more hideous.
"Go on, beat this kid up and sell him to those noble ladies; those old ladies love pretty boys the most!" another adventurer shouted.
Bang bang bang!
In the previously quiet alley, the sounds of punching and kicking echoed, accompanied by screams.
A minute later, the screams and the sounds of fighting ceased.
The three adventurers were thrown together by Mahiro; all three curled up, groaning in pain, and looked at Mahiro standing in front of them with fearful eyes.
This guy isn't just a pretty boy.
He's a human-shaped beast.
The three of them deeply regretted provoking Mahiro.
If they had known earlier, they would have just let him go.
But greed had tempted them; seeing him as weak, they wanted to extort money from him.
Well now, they not only failed to get any money but also got beaten.
And now, the medical expenses would not be insignificant.
"I have a few questions for you," Mahiro said, looking down at them condescendingly.
The three nodded hurriedly; they didn't dare to resist now.
After being thoroughly beaten, they realized that this young man, who looked like a pretty boy, was a First-class adventurer.
Five minutes later, Mahiro came out of the alley with a money bag in his hand.
Mahiro weighed the money bag; it was quite heavy.
According to the three adventurers, there were about 100,000 valis inside.
Valis is the currency of Orario.
As for the value of 100,000 valis, Mahiro did not know.
After all, in the anime, there wasn't much description of such everyday details.
The only one that is most clearly described is the Hestia Blade built by Hephaestus, which was worth 200 million valis.
If Mahiro didn't have a Zanpakutō, he might have planned to get such a weapon.
'If it's just room and board, it should be enough.'
Compared to the sky-high price of 200 million, 100,000 valis must be nothing.
But considering the pained expressions of the three adventurers earlier, it shouldn't be a small amount either.
Mahiro was still very grateful to these three.
After all, he was penniless.
The appearance of the three allowed Mahiro to solve this problem perfectly.
From the mouths of the three, Mahiro got some simple information.
For example, the level of the three was only LV1, and the city under Mahiro's feet was the labyrinth city Orario.
"Let's find a tavern first," Mahiro decided.
Holding the bag in his hand, Mahiro walked toward the street.
Walking out of the dim alley, the orange light illuminated the sight ahead.
On the bustling street with people coming and going, the noise filled the whole area.
A night market.
Compared to a modern city like in DxD, it might seem a little shabby, but it had a different charm.
In addition to humans, there were many fantasy races that exist in mythology.
Elves with long pointed ears and delicate appearances walked gracefully.
Demi-humans with animal ears and tails, beastly features, and bodies stronger than humans.
Pallum, who are only half the height of ordinary people, no more than 1.5 meters tall.
Amazons, who look similar to humans but dress very boldly and coolly, with slightly tanned skin.
On both sides of the street, the shouts of some sellers could also be heard.
Many adventurers walked on the street in twos and threes.
Everything—the pedestrians and the surrounding buildings—exuded an air of a fantasy world.
Walking on the street, Mahiro moved slowly and occasionally stopped at stalls to take a look.
It was night now, and many things couldn't be carried out.
Rather, he wanted to experience the exotic atmosphere here.
Walking slowly like this, it didn't take long before a tavern, similar to the shops on both sides of the street, made of stone bricks and wooden boards, came into Mahiro's view.
