39 Chapter 39: Job?

When talking about herbalist, Razlov heard from Selina that aside from being not well received they are also few in numbers. There are only a few people who practice herbalism here in this world due to having potions to rely on when people are sick or injured. One of the reasons why they are still existing and hasn't faded out yet is because of the people that can't afford to purchase potion and had to rely on herbalist for treatment.

Razlov walk around the town to know more about herbalist as Selina doesn't know anyone who is a herbalist when he asks her. So Razlov decided to ask around the town. When he was asking the townfolks of Sanloris if they know someone who is a herbalist or know anything about herbalist, they all look at him in bewildered look. Although Razlov's camo uniform looks weird from the people of this world's point of view but despite that it looks weird it looks neat and tidy adding the factor that he is handsome and looks good in it and when people saw him they would think that he comes from a well-off family, so when Razlov asks about herbalist the townfolks all give him a bewildered gaze as he doesn't look poor. But amidst the bewildered gaze of the townfolks, Razlov still didn't get any news about herbalist.

Disappointed that he didn't get any news regarding about herbalist, Razlov decided to head back to the Inn. But as he was walking towards the Inn, he suddenly stops and remembered something.

'F*ck, how could I forgot about the guild' Done with cursing his forgetfulness, Razlov immediately head towards the direction of the guild. The guild does not only deals with requests, and other mercenary-related jobs, it even deals with information and you can find anything at the guild but for the right price and you can get it or know of it as long as the information does not compromise or put the guild at risk.

When Razlov saw the building of the guild, he hastens his steps and enters the guild. As Razlov entered the guild and walks towards the reception area someone noticed him and called out to him.

"Hey! Razlov! Over here"

Turning his head, Razlov saw a red-haired man waving his hand at him at a table in the corner of the guild and it is the group that he hadn't seen for a long time; it was Carson and his group. Crimson Cloud is the name of the mercenary band which is composed of 6 members and Carson is the leader. It has been more than three months since Razlov saw them and the last he saw them was on the first day after he posted the recruitment notice with the help of the guild.

"Oh, Carson, long time no see" he greeted Carson then nodded at the rest and he noticed that aside from the six he knew there are other two people that he doesn't recognize.

"Yeah, come, have a drink with us" Carson invites

"Just wait, I'll be there in a minute," Razlov said as he still needs to get a piece of information about herbalist.

"Okay, we'll be waiting"

Then Razlov continued to walk towards the reception area. At the reception area, Razlov saw Clarice and called out to her.

"Clarice"

"Hi, Razlov... is there anything I can for you?" when she saw Razlov, she smiled and greeted him professionally.

"Yes, do you have any information regarding if there's a herbalist here in Sanloris and its surrounding area?" asked Razlov

When Clarice heard Razlov is looking for a herbalist and just like the townfolks of Sanloris she also made a bewildered gaze at him.

"Herbalist? Why are you looking for a herbalist, isn't potions already enough?" Clarice asks as she stares at Razlov.

"Well, I have my own reasons" After being asked by Clarice, Razlov only gave a vague answer cause even if he explains to her why she wouldn't even believe him as they are bound by the logic of this world that potions are far more useful than herbs in treating a person.

Seeing that Razlov is not explaining further about why he is looking for a herbalist, she could only shake her head.

"Okay, I will not dwell in it further... wait for a moment as I will check if there a report or information on herbalist" Clarice then goes to the back of the reception area and after a while, she came back carrying a stack of documents. She then began checking each of them.

"Hmm, I'm sorry Razlov, I didn't find any information or reports on herbalist" Clarice said after she finished checking the documents.

"It's okay, so how much do I have to pay?" Razlov was disappointed that he didn't manage to get any information with regards to a herbalist.

"There's no need, as it is only a piece of minor information that is not worth noting for. We only keep information like this is for the record since there are still people like you who came asking for information" said Clarice

"Thank you, Clarice... I have to go, so, see you around" Razlov said goodbye to Clarice and went to where Carson and his group as he had an appointment with them.

Razlov walks towards the table where Carson's group is situated. When Carson saw Razlov walking towards them, he stands up and walks to Razlov and welcomes him. He then put his hands on Razlov's shoulder as he guides him to an empty chair.

When they sit down, Carson began to talk " Haha, It's good to see you again, It's has been more than two months since we've last seen each other... Oh, let me introduce to the new members of our group. That young looking man is Bradly and the one with a mustache is Fernan... Guys, let me introduce you to a friend of ours, Razlov"

"Glad to meet you, I'm Razlov" Razlov and the other two new members of Carson group nodded at each other.

"Hey, Razlov, I heard you formed your own group, is that true?" The one who interjected was Solba. Solba was the one who Razlov knocked out in their previous encounter. He was drunk at that time and was questioning Razlov for joining the guild as a mercenary, he was then pissed at what Razlov said and tried to punch him only to be knocked out by Razlov's palm strike right at his jaw.

"Yeah, that's true. I have formed my own mercenary group and its called 'Dragon Force'." Razlov admitted it since there's no reason for him to hide it.

"Hehe, so that's why you rejected Carson's invitation to join our group back then" Solba said as he laughs foolishly.

Razlov shrugged at what Solba had said then he said: "I have already planned back then to form my own group so I rejected Carson's invitation... by the way, how did you know I formed my own group?"

"Ughm"

Carson cleared his throat and began to talk: "When we arrive here after completing a request, we heard that there's a new mercenary group that has been completing request after request with having not failed even once on any request they had taken or even casualty; there's none. Although this group had just started no one can deny that their track record is good. And their only demeaning features are their weird clothes and the weird stick they are carrying. Then we finally saw the members of this group and to our amazement, we have already seen their clothes. So we asked the guild for information and that how we got to know that you are the leader of the leader of this new mercenary group"

"Ah, I see... so, how about you guys, how have you been faring this last three months?" asks Razlov

"We're doing good, we manage to get quite a sum of gold coins during our last 2 jobs... But let's forget about us, let's talk about you... how have you been these past three months and how did you manage to get that strong mercenary group even though you all had just started not long ago?" said Carson curiously and it's the same with rest.

Seeing their curious look, Razlov started to recall and tell them what happened during the three months that they hadn't seen each other from the recruitment of the members, training at the camp, to taking request from the guild. Razlov was talking with some truths and lies inserted as he explains what he had done during this past three months; of course, he didn't divulge about the weapons they are using even though it's an open secret.

"What! are you telling us that three months ago those members of your mercenary group are all greenhorn that hadn't even experience killing a person! And in just a short time you've managed to turn them from newbie to elite that can complete requests without suffering any casualty!!... Unbelievable!!" Solba exclaim

"Razlov, you're just kidding right, you are just boasting right" said Tirso as he was unable to believe what Razlov had just said because it usually takes a half- year to a year of training with the addition of experiencing various fight for one to become elite.

"What would I get from that?" well, part of the reason why they are strong is because of the weapons they are using.

Seeing that Razlov seems not to be kidding or lying to them, Carson and Tirso look at each other as they both come to an understanding. They then turn to look at Razlov.

"Razlov, are you interested in a job?" asks Carson

"Job?"
