The group nodded in agreement, as this statement made sense. Even an ordinary mercenary, if they could survive the endless wars and adventures, for five, ten, or twenty years, surviving such prolonged conflicts proved the mercenary's prowess. Some nobility would not hesitate to bestow a knight or knight's title, and once they had a title, adventuring became almost impossible.
Laine was just like that. While it's not impossible for him to go on adventures again, what cost would it take to invite a Duke? A Divine Chosen Champion of the Lake Fairy and Holy Sanctuary Powerhouse?
Now, Laine often didn't even need to personally fight.
"So, you know, I once was an adventurer until I took an arrow to the knee." Laine laughed heartily.
