At the pawnshop near the Adventurers' Guild, the squad sold off all the odds and ends they had collected during the kobold commission.
Most low-level adventurers sold their spoils at these few shops, and the prices were generally fair.
The money they received was a little more than they had expected.
Their spoils sold for a total of 25 silver coins and 60 copper coins. Most of that came from the old kobold's corpse, which fetched 12 silver coins. The cartload of assorted junk and odds and ends brought in another ten or so silver coins.
Standing around the flatbed cart, now empty once more, the group wore joyful smiles. For adventurers, the happiest part of a commission was undoubtedly getting paid.
As they clutched the smooth silver coins in their palms, all the hardships of the job seemed worthwhile.
Daphne was the happiest of them all. Her eyes crinkled with delight, filled with longing for a staff.
After the others had gone their separate ways, Gauss glanced at his purse again.
He had earned 11 silver coins from a job that took just one day. He was very satisfied with that kind of efficiency.
He counted his money once more, then felt his stomach growling with hunger. Only then did he realize what was going on and hurriedly found a tavern.
This time, he didn't splurge on meat alone. Instead, he ordered some staple food along with a few meat and vegetable dishes. After eating nearly two to three adult men's worth of food, Gauss finally began to feel full.
Maybe it was just his imagination, but when Gauss got up to pay, he already felt as if his body had begun digesting the food. Waves of faint warmth flowed through him.
Was this the effect of Rapid Digestion?
