Chapter 17: On the Driver’s Platform
“I’ve organized the monetary values. For details, see the memo.”
Sitting next to Alf, Tenma decided to ask about things he wanted to know now. First, he asked about Adventurers and the value of money.
“Alf, is it easy to become an Adventurer? Are there any tests?”
“Adventurers register with the Adventurer Guild to become Adventurers. There’s an age restriction; only those 15 years and older can become one. Then, Adventurers have ranks from G to S, starting with G-rank, and up to C-rank. You advance through subjugation, gathering, and quest completion. To become B-rank or higher, there’s a written test, a practical skills test, and an interview. Most Adventurers remain within the C-rank range. Separately, there are party rank regulations, where parties with five or more C-rank Adventurers are recognized as B-rank. Otherwise, the Party’s rank is determined by the average of its members. By the way, Serpent is a C-rank party, and I’m a B-rank Adventurer. Pretty impressive, right?”
“That’s amazing. Notwithstanding, I don’t understand. Are there other guilds besides the Adventurer Guild?”
“There are. Actually, how could you be looking for work without knowing such things? You’re a strange one.”
“Where I grew up, there were no guilds. Anyway, please tell me about the guilds.”
“Guilds, huh? There’s one for every job. Adventurer. Magician. Alchemist. Merchant. Mercenary. Transport. Blacksmith. Woodworking. Pharmacist. For unusual ones, there’s even something like Animal Trainer. Well, jobs without guilds are like soldiers or servants employed by towns, countries, or nobles. Marny knows about the Merchant Guild, and Mario knows about the Magician Guild. If you’re interested, you should ask them later.”
“There are many guilds, I see. By the way, I’m going to ask a strange question… What can you do with one copper coin? And, can this be used?”
Saying that, Tenma took out a copper coin from his Subspace Storage and showed it to Alf.
“You can use it. In fact, it’s the currency of this country. A simple stay at an inn costs 3 medium copper coins. With breakfast, it’s 5 medium copper coins. For a luxurious meal and drink, it’s 1 copper coin. That’s about it.”
“Among the things I was given when I left my hometown, there were also silver coins. How many copper coins is a silver coin worth?”
“Silver coins. A silver coin is worth 10,000 copper coins. With one silver coin, you can live for five years. By the way, 10 small copper coins make 1 medium copper coin. 10 medium copper coins make 1 copper coin. 100 copper coins make 1 small silver coin. 10 small silver coins make 1 medium silver coin. 10 medium silver coins make 1 silver coin. Above that, 100 silver coins make 1 gold coin. 100 gold coins make 1 platinum coin. 100 platinum coins make 1 holy gold coin. It’s better not to tell others you have silver coins. If anything, you should exchange them at the guild or register with the Merchant Guild and deposit them.”
“I understand. I’ll keep quiet about it for now.”
Tenma had unknowingly become very wealthy. Next, he thought about asking about Magic Iron, so he stored the copper coin and readjusted his grip on his sword. Then,
“You noticed it too? There are Goblins again. Everyone, get ready!”
That being said, Alf slowed down the carriage. Tenma also looked around at Alf’s words. The grass to the left and right of the road ahead was moving unnaturally.
