Chapter 4: 002.1
The atmosphere in the tavern grew even more charged.
Rod's eyes wandered to the bounty posters plastered on the tavern's walls.
One poster offered a fortune of a million gold coins for slaying a dragon that had taken over a gold mine in a certain duchy.
No doubt, many foolish heroes and adventurers would eagerly rush to their deaths.
Dragons, regardless of the world, were synonymous with overwhelming power.
Anyone capable of slaying one would need to be at least a legendary-level mage or swordsman.
But even knowing this, there would still be countless adventurers rushing headlong toward their doom, driven by the glory of defeating a dragon.
After all, what greater dream is there for a hero than slaying a dragon, second only to marrying a princess and reaching the pinnacle of life?
"Sir Hepburn is offering 100 gold coins for the capture of Jack the Ripper."
"Several nobles have pooled together a bounty of 10,000 gold coins for the notorious thief Zorro."
"The mayor of Mushroom Town is offering 50 gold coins for the extermination of the wolves terrorizing the area."
Mushroom Town?
That's not too far from here, right?
Rod pulled out a crude map from his pocket.
Based on the map, the distance between this village and Mushroom Town was only about ten kilometers.
If he walked, it would take him half a day to get there. By carriage, an hour or two at most.
It was relatively close.
"If I keep moving forward, I'll pass through there anyway. Might as well help out," Rod muttered to himself, stroking his chin.
And while he was at it, earn a little pocket money.
Fifty gold coins wasn't a small sum.
For a typical family of three, even living comfortably, one gold coin a month would suffice.
With that much gold, Rod could easily buy several acres of land in the countryside and build himself a decent little house.
To think his predecessor had been such an idiot—selling off his family property and only scraping together a handful of gold coins.
With his current power, Rod hardly cared about a small amount of gold.
But if he could earn it easily, why not take it?
After grabbing a quick bite to eat, Rod noticed the sky gradually darkening.
He decided against traveling through the night.
The power of the sun was useless after dark, and in fact, could even have some adverse effects.
Running into wild animals or bandits at night would be a reckless gamble with his life.
Moreover, perhaps due to the influence of his sun magic, Rod now felt a deep, inexplicable loathing for the night.
It was as if something terrifying was lurking in the darkness.
If it were daytime, he wouldn't hesitate to challenge even an evil god, just to see who was truly stronger.
