Town

The clinking of glasses...

Waking up again, it was morning, as expected.

Pressing his aching head, he got up from the wooden table.

These guys.

Can't you stop giving alcohol to kids!

What do you mean it's fine as long as Kumiloni is there? Turning his head, he saw Chicheng next to him, snoring with snot bubbles.

And in front of him.

Was Kumiloni with a helpless smile: "I heard about what happened last night, and I figured you guys would be awake by now."

Kumiloni came up behind Lu Cang, and gentle Life Force flowed within Lu Cang.

The hangover and dizziness quickly subsided.

"Kumiloni... is he always like this?"

"Mm... pretty much."

"He actually meant well."

Lu Cang sighed softly.

As a former corporate slave before transmigration, he could understand Chicheng's intentions.

It's just...

My wallet!

Lu Cang looked at his empty coin pouch.

Last night's expenses were exactly 2 gold and 26 silver.

Not a single coin more or less.

It completely drained his newly earned savings.

Kumiloni covered her mouth.

As if trying to stifle a giggle.

In the end, she quietly reached out and placed her hand on Lu Cang's.

When her palm moved away, two shiny gold coins appeared in Lu Cang's palm.

Kumiloni said softly, "Consider it my treat."

"Kumiloni..."

Lu Cang pushed the gold coins back: "Never mind."

"Actually, this is something I wanted to do too."

"Oh my... it seems little Lu Cang is quite mature for his age~"

"But, it's okay."

"This is also compensation because Iz didn't protect you properly."

"As a hired bodyguard, letting your employer almost die is his dereliction of duty."

"In such a situation, not only should he not accept payment, but he should also compensate the employer."

"These 2 gold coins will be proof that you and Iz have made up."

Lu Cang couldn't argue with Kumiloni.

He put the 2 gold coins into his pocket.

After a night of heavy drinking, the suspicion, distrust, and unpleasantness from yesterday had gradually faded.

Perhaps this was Chicheng's way of handling things.

Kumiloni smiled: "Iz and the others are still asleep. Let me take you for a walk. You haven't seen Rhein Town in the morning, have you?"

Lu Cang nodded gently: "Okay."

This was actually his original intention last night, but Chicheng suddenly appeared, and it turned into a celebration party.

He left the Adventurer's Guild with Kumiloni.

It was early morning at this time.

Heh... I have to say, I thought my sleep schedule had been messed up again after another coma.

But this hangover has somehow reset my schedule.

"Mm... I'll introduce them one by one."

"This is Rhein Town's Adventurer's Guild, where adventurers take on quests and where they usually gather."

"Over there is Rhein Town's library..."

Lu Cang walked slowly through the morning streets of Rhein Town with Kumiloni.

This was Lu Cang's first time having free time to appreciate the world.

Most of the buildings were wooden houses, with the occasional uniquely shaped structure whose material he couldn't identify.

Places like the library were a bit more special.

In Rhein Town, besides the library, there was also a dedicated training ground.

Adventurers usually practiced their combat skills and magic there.

Lu Cang's behavior of casting magic in his room...

was actually strictly forbidden.

It wasn't until Kumiloni mentioned it that Lu Cang realized that on the day he practiced magic in his room, Iz had already set up an absorption barrier within a certain range.

His magic hadn't been seen by anyone else, and of course, it hadn't affected anyone.

Besides the training ground...

there was also the [Temple of Life].

Here, most common illnesses could be treated for free, low-level curses could be dispelled, and minor wounds could be healed.

However, for more serious injuries, a certain fee would be charged.

Lu Cang understood.

The Temple of Life was essentially a hospital...

In some corners of the town, there were also blank altars.

Kumiloni emphasized slightly that Rhein Town had no churches and no dedicated shrines.

If believers wanted to worship, they could only do so at the blank altars.

But even with freedom of faith, some gods were prohibited from being worshipped at the blank altars.

One was the "White of Death and Destruction," and the other was "Ba Ni of War and Fire."

These two gods were considered ill omens.

The "White of Death and Destruction," in particular, was not only forbidden in Rhein Town but also in most regions of the world. Building churches or even believing in it was prohibited.

If discovered, followers would be dealt with according to local laws as cultists.

In more severe cases, the death penalty was a strong possibility.

Sigh...

The White of Death and Destruction, huh?

It sounds like an ominous thing. It's definitely better to stay away from it. I have a feeling that running into it would just cause trouble...

No, it's not like I could just stumble upon something like that, right?

It's still a god, after all.

There wasn't much to pay attention to regarding faith, especially after learning that Lu Cang was without faith, there was even less to worry about.

Being without faith was truly liberating.

As the High Priest of the Temple of Life, Kumiloni occasionally had to be responsible for the Temple of Life's processions, prayers, and other duties.

Besides faith, Kumiloni also took Lu Cang to visit shops selling weapons, armor, potions, and ingredients.

Lu Cang gained a basic understanding of the prices in this world.

The daily food expenses for one person, without indulging in feasts, were around 10 copper.

1 gold = 10,000 copper.

Wait... those people yesterday cost him 2 gold and 26 silver!

That's equivalent to 2260 days of food expenses?

Days! Not meals!

Yesterday, the Adventurer's Guild only had about a hundred people.

Lu Cang calculated it over and over, gradually feeling that treating about a hundred people would cost at most 50 silver.

These adventurers really didn't treat him like an outsider!

Wait, what did Chicheng say yesterday?

"Bring out the best wine here"?

As the hazy memory of getting drunk surfaced, a vein on Lu Cang's temple twitched slightly.

He almost let out a curse that was unbecoming of a child.

Huuu--

Patience, patience, stay calm--

Lu Cang forced himself to calm down...

He'd just consider it paying taxes, taxes for transmigration.

After touring the meaningful places in Rhein Town, it was already afternoon.

Kumiloni counted on her fingers, "Rhein Town, these are probably all the places."

"There shouldn't be any omissions."

Okay.

Kumiloni, I feel like you're much more reliable than those two guys.

"Thank you, Sister Kumiloni."

Kumiloni said, "Hmm, Granny Sansi and I agreed I'd help her harvest the fields this afternoon."

"I might not have time to show you around Rhein Town later."

Lu Cang grinned, "It's okay, Sister Kumiloni, I plan to explore on my own."

A hint of worry appeared on Kumiloni's face.

But she quickly remembered that Lu Cang was a Mage capable of soloing Tier 2 dungeons, and at least Rhein Town was a very safe place, so she didn't need to worry too much about him.

"Alright, I'll be going then."

"Do you know the way back to the inn?"

Lu Cang nodded, "Yep, I do."

Kumiloni leaned down and patted Lu Cang's head, then waved goodbye and left.
