769 767 Castel's Now

Fran had been brought to the Guildmaster's office after being arbitrated for a scene that was about to become a quarrel.

"You... are Princess Black Thunder's Fran, right?

"Mmm."

"You knocked that Diaz bastard out? Isn't that amazing?"

"How do you know that?

"The information on the leading adventurers is solid. We've got all the information on Wolmut's militant tournament, too, right? Eliante called me."

They were telling stories of Fran winning, up to a distant continent.

"Those guys are the bottom end of a big group of adventurers. If we get into a fight, the one above will come out. How much damage would be done if someone like you broke out... Give me a break."

"Those are the ones who got involved first"

"I know... If we put out dozens of retirees during the big offensive season, it's gonna be my retirement problem!

Retirees...... Even Fran wouldn't push you that far, would he? Well, from around Eliante, I guess you're hearing rumors of exaggerated francs.

"Then you just have to keep an eye out for that kind of stupid thing to do"

"I've been watching you! That's why you broke in! Yet you stare...! Don't make a fuss this time of year! This is it, you battle freaks. Ha!

Guildmaster Dalho screamed so, scratching his head . Fran watching it gives me a strangely tender look.

It's a lot of blame on Fran on the side that was involved. Usual Fran would be a muddled occasion......

"I'm sorry. Next, I'll ignore it"

"Ho, is that true?

"Mmm."

"There is!

Again, I'm kind to Dalho for some reason. What's the matter with you?

"Fran? Something sweet for Dalho?

(Dalho, looks like Eliante. Poor thing)

"Uh, I see."

If you ask me, it might resemble Eliante when he's buried in a pile of paperwork and cornered.

I guess it looks so pitiful how they are being chased to work and mentally, that they try to be unconditional and gentle with them.

That's the same for me. You have to be nice to the poor people who are caught up in the black workplace, right?

"Their leader is a decent guy there, but his men have a lot of blood on them. If the lower end were to be hit by someone who looks like a child, it would definitely come out in retaliation. They're the ones who care about Fumiko."

"Yeah. Are you strong?

"Then I won't tell you not to make a scene."

Strength is there, but they're securing their strength by flocking. When I heard that, I could see that Fran lost interest at once.

As much as Dalho understands from the first encounter, he's on his face.

…… Enough about them. "

"I have one, too, if you say so. So, other than making anti-demon cards, what can I do for you? If you're working, you can do the right thing, right?

"The request can be made again. I want more information than that."

And Fran told me that his goal was to see what he was up to in Castel, that he was looking for a Rank S Adventurer, and ultimately Trismegistos.

The reaction is similar to that of William. Just that's the Adventurer Guild. I was more familiar with the illegal village of Castel than with the Management Board.

"This, map of Castel"

"Wow. That's definitely a map of Goldicia. There are also Noctua and Zendia names…"

Show me the map Amanda gave me. According to that map, Castel was located in the northeast of the continent of Gordicia.

From the western harbor where we are now, it will be quite a long way.

"Is this Castel? Wait a minute."

Dalho took a few maps out of his desk and did a lot of research. Much enthusiastic.

He liked Fran for being sympathetic to himself. Well, I guess there's also the bottom line of selling thanks to the powerful who beat the Rank A adventurer.

"Hmm. Castel is... already doomed."

"Huh?"

"I don't know why, but it's not on the map right now. The map four years ago has a name, but the name has disappeared from the map since then"

Dalho showed me a few maps.

Indeed, Castel's name has disappeared from the latest map, even though it is definitely on the old map.

"... I don't know what you're going for, but I don't think people live here anymore"

"... that's okay"

"... well, I'm not listening."

"I don't mind. Just going to the grave."

"Graveside?"

"Father and Mother's Tomb"

"Right. Well, let's go."

"Mmm."

Dalho taught Fran to snort. Looks like a pretty high mountain gets in the way when you try to get to Castel in a straight line. So they have to detour from the north.

"You'd probably be able to cross the mountain, but you wouldn't be able to do much on this continent. It would be quicker to bypass adults as a result. Besides, if we go north, we can go through Noctua."

"Nocta?"

"Here."

Dalho points to a point on the map. In position, in the centre of northern Goldicia. It's somewhat south of North Harbor.

Indeed, it is located just on the route it passes when heading north from the western harbour to Castel.

"Noctua is not an illegal town. It is a town under the umbrella of the Management Board, built in a completely blank space where no demons can gush. There's an Adventurer Alliance, and you can replenish all kinds of supplies."

It seems to be used as a front-line base for those operating within the continent.

"Besides, if you go to Noctua, you might get more information about the Blue Cat Clan."

Noctua says they have a search headquarters for unreturned adventurers. As its name suggests, it is a department that searches for adventurers who have disappeared without being held during a request.

If you lose to an anti-demon, it absorbs and disappears clean and refreshing. However, some people failed the request and ran away without wanting to pay the penalty.

They say it's their job to find those adventurers and impose sanctions. They are pretty tightly controlled on this continent because nobles from all over the country are often involved.

However, some unreturned adventurers seem to have been secretly enslaved. Naturally, we were supposed to be collecting that information, too.

"If you go, can you give me some information?

"Noctua's guild master is a pervert who loves strong guys. You'll like it in one shot. You should be able to give me some information, too. Don't worry."

No, I'm not at all relieved. Pervert? You said pervert, right? So, are you okay?
