Chapter 08 Lord Selim prepares for an excursion
《You donated to the orphanage Your experience points increased You gained 100 experience points》
《Current level: -48 Current experience points: 10/1000》
《You completed the daily quest <One good deed a day>》
《You completed <Praying> and <One good deed a day> Your experience points increased as a quest reward》
《Your experience points increased by 500》
《Current level: -48 Current experience points: 510/1000》
On the day after the enchantment magic class, I had time, so I donated to the orphanage I went to before.
I completed the <Daily Quest> with one gold coin.
The act of turning on the heating for the castle servants was evaluated only once. However, at the orphanage, repeating the same action gave me experience points.
Maybe what I do to the castle’s hired servants won’t count as a simple good deed.
The next day. Today is a rest day.
In the Kingdom, a week is a cycle of working for 5 days and resting for 1 day. There are 30 days and 5 weeks in a month.
I headed towards the orphanage in the morning once again.
In the same way, I handed over a gold coin.
However, the <System> did not respond.
“This is the third gold coin. Tell me honestly, what do you think about this donation?”
Since the director was in front of me, I asked him directly.
“We are very grateful. With the money we received, we have enough to buy equipment that we lack and are inconvenient without.”
It means that they can buy what they want, huh?
The orphanage near the lord’s castle is not that poor. Although it’s an orphanage, it also affects the lord’s face.
The third gold coin would probably be kept by them as savings.
If I choose to continue donating to the same orphanage without thinking, it would not mean that it could be used effectively. Maybe I won’t be evaluated if I don’t give it where it’s needed.
“I’m happy to help you. I’ll come again in the future. If you have troubles, don’t hold back, send me a letter.”
I handed several elaborately designed envelopes to the director.
By sending the letter inside it, it will almost certainly reach me.
《You became the orphanage’s patron Your experience points increased +500 experience points》
《Current level: -47 Current experience points: 10/1000》
《You completed the daily quest <One good deed a day>》
《You completed <Praying> and <One good deed a day> Your experience points increased as a quest reward》
《Your experience points increased by 500》
《Current level: -47 Current experience points: 510/1000》
Oh, this time, it was evaluated.
The director here seems to be decent, so I’ll try to visit from time to time.
I returned to the castle.
A set of combat equipment was prepared in my room.
I’m planning to go to exterminate monsters tomorrow.
It is a practical training that is held about once a month.
I am going to subjugate suitable monsters for training among the ones reported in our territory.
Since it’s training, the swordsman Katia will come as well as the supervisor, but she won’t interfere, and I’ll have to fight by myself.
“A monster hunting expedition, huh. What would happen then?”
The battle itself isn’t scary.
They won’t let a minor child fight a reckless battle except when the territory is in danger.
Even now, I’m much stronger than the ordinary knights of the territory, but there is still a risk since young people are likely to take reckless actions. As such, heirs like me are raised safely, to avoid being severely injured and ruining my future.
“The problem is, will killing monsters increase or decrease the experience points?”
Thinking about subjugating monsters that threaten human lives, such action must give me experience points.
However, killing a living thing is an evil deed. Monsters are unfavorable existence for mankind, but it might not be a good idea to kill them carelessly.
According to the system, I am a <Seeker>. A person who seeks to become a saint. In that case, I probably won’t level up just by killing a lot of monsters.
“The only thing I can do is try it once.”
Monsters are also living things. I hope that the penalty for killing will not be irreversible.
“One more thing. There’s the problem of the <Daily Quest>.”
The expedition this time would take two days and one night.
We are planning to stay at a nearby village where there was a report of monster casualties.
We are leaving early in the morning, so I have to complete the quest two times while on the way.
“Well, I should somehow manage by searching troubled villagers.
I prepared a waist pouch filled with pen and ink for writing enchantment magic, paper, and a writing pad.
“Enchantment magic seems to be very compatible with the <Seeker> system. I must prepare it well since it might be of use.”
There are so many unknowns, but all I can do is try.
