Chapter 223

The atmosphere inside Englem was definitely not good.

Just the moment we enter the city, eyes filled with wonder and hostility pour out.

“What the hell happened to this shit?”

Sen, who was looking at those eyes one by one and grasping the situation, asked Kunz without hesitation, but he smiled as if he was embarrassed and showed the way he chose his words.

The guard said that there had been a big accident, but I didn’t think that such a cold reaction would spread throughout the city, so I began to use my brain to guess the events that would come out of his mouth.

That being said, there was nothing particularly outrageous about it. In the first place, the security of this country wasn’t that far-fetched, so there are not even a handful of cases of bandits entering the city.

However, even the contents that came out after such deduction and deduction were quite shocking news to us.

“To put it in a nutshell... bandits have teamed up with some adventurers to loot and murder the city.”

“Fuck.”

Heh, he even curses at me. I’m so mad I can’t even speak.

The thugs were openly murdering and plundering in the city? This isn’t about having a big accident, it’s about wrapping up the greatest events ever.

“It’s an incident that makes me feel very strange that the guards cooperate with the adventurer’s guild.”

Mr. Gaendal’s words seemed to have penetrated Kunz’s heart quite sharply, and the smile on his face shook slightly.

Right now, I can see that it is the guard’s fault and the adventurer’s guild’s fault, and even if the World’s Most Blame Contest is held, it is not enough. The situation is only slightly different depending on the form of ‘holding hands with an adventurer’ that Kunz said, but it would not be easy for the two groups to get along.

“It’s a bit delicate situation to call it cooperation...”

Kunz said only that and kept his mouth shut. Rather than asking more questions, we also decided to focus on looking around and being careful not to get stoned.

I was at a level where I had to die with my nose on a plate the moment I was hit by such a blind stone anyway, so I tried to pay attention to the other side.

The adventurer’s guild arrived, paying more attention not only to the eyes of the residents looking at us, but also to the eyes and actions of the city patrols and guards.

“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen this without people.”

Carls, who usually doesn’t speak first, opened his mouth first. Kunz only showed a bitter smile this time.

“The stable is prepared separately, so we’ll move it. As you can see... it’s secluded.”

The sight of the adventurer’s guild in a city so large that even the stables were empty, as if they were on holiday, was an impressive sight in many ways. Seneran asked as he entrusted the horses to the stable manager who approached at Kunz’s gesture.

“It’s not like there aren’t any adventurers in the city, right?”

“They’re buying themselves where they don’t reject them. Only the innkeepers and brewers are the only ones who can walk around with a big smile in the city right now.”

Huh, can we get our lodging? Maybe I should have listened quietly when the guard tried to tell me?

“Then, what about the confrontation between the city and the guild? Is this similar?”

“I don’t think it matters which side has the initiative. After all, what we care about is the guards. In fact, it’s best if we can leave this place because the loot is finished before we even care.”

Seneran answered Ekatrina’s question immediately, but we all agreed with her answer, nodding as if we had promised. Following that nod, Asilie, who had stopped twitching her ears, raised her hand slightly as if to gain the right to speak and opened her mouth.

“I think what we need to be most concerned about and careful about is the direction of the ‘incident’.”

The topic Asilie brought up was a question we had shared silently earlier.

“When I heard that they were blocking entry, I assumed that the attackers were still hiding inside and that they were in the process of finding the culprit after a lockdown order.”

This time, everyone nodded as if they had promised. I did too. Until I heard Kunz’s words.

“But that Kunz friend said that he wouldn’t stop me from going out.”

Mr. Gin, who always stroked his beard and opened his mouth, continued talking after a brief pause.

“It seems to me that they have already figured out who and where the culprit is, or have the suspects lined up perfectly.”

“Or... maybe you knew from the beginning.”

Everyone agreed this time, including the Sajok added by Gaendal.

“Am I not catching it or am I not catching it?”

Seneran murmured softly. It’s a pretty serious difference, but it’s the same damn thing either way.

“It’s sad, but whatever it is, it doesn’t do us much good.”

Rellie, who correctly caught that point, frowned and said.

If you don’t catch it, it can be said that one of the two groups has a relationship with the assailant pups and is looking after the back boat.

If they fail to catch it, it can be said that the two groups are incompetent and not only failed to prevent this incident, but also failed to solve it.

If it’s the former, he’ll be fucking to get his partner out safely, and if it’s the latter, he’ll be looking for ways and means to deal with them somehow. Or it could have split into those who don’t catch and those who can’t catch, and both situations could be happening at the same time.

In such a situation, adventurers who entered the city by all means, even selling out guild leaders in other cities... It

seemed very likely that no matter who had what purpose, they would consider it good to use them as their dicks.

Not wanting to get involved in such a fucking situation, I insisted in a firm tone.

“When Sen comes down, we first catch the lodging, then dispose of the loot as quickly as possible and bounce off.”

Fortunately, no one wanted to take the lead in this troublesome business.

We waited for Sen to return, taking great comfort in the fact that there were half a dozen like us in this chaotic city.
