Chapter 393 - Rumors of the Marquis family

At the shelter, Fran and Urushi ate their fill of Io-san's culinary masterpieces. After that, donating ingredients to the shelter, we moved on. Our next target was the Dragon Diner.

- Oh, Fran. Long time no see. ( Fermus)

- Yeah. Hello Fermus. (Fran)

An elderly gentleman came out to meet us, looking good as always. Seeing Fermus leaving the kitchen, one of the visitors raised an enthusiastic cry.

- Today you decided to come and eat with us? (visitor ) for new novels

- Uh-huh!( fran)

- Ha ha ha. Since when you came last time, you did not find me, today I will show you everything that my cooking is capable of. What, this wolf is not with you?( Fermus)

- He's in the shadows.( Fran)

- If you don't mind, then let me cook for everyone. After all, you fought against evil spirits together. (Fermus)

- Won-won!(Urushi)

He already left , Fran didn't even have time to say anything. Well, since the last time they failed to eat at the Dragon Eatery, they probably wanted to eat this time.

- Well, what do you want to eat

- everything ( Fran )

- Haha. Understood

Fermus was not surprised, as if he already knew that Fran was big eater. Immediately he turned around and went into the kitchen. Last time we were able to taste only the food of his student, this same Fermus will cook for us.

The first thing that the female worker, whom we have seen before, brought in was dragon bone soup, one of the signature dishes. However, it was yellowish.

- New recipe, Dragon Bone Curry Soup

Apparently, he also decided to follow the curry fashion.

- What do you think? I asked.( master)

Fran said nothing, just continued to swallow the broth.

It looks very tasty.

- So what do you think?

- Gorgeous. A bit sour, but okay. (Fran)

While Fran was devouring the cakes, the girl had already returned and escorted us to Captain Rengil's room.

- you decided to return to Barubora?(Rengil)

- Yeah. I'm moving on soon, so I stopped by to say hello. (Fran)

- Oh ! I'm flattered.(Rengil)

- Also, I would like to buy spices.(Fran)

Although now the prices for spices are somewhat overpriced, we can still afford them now. Without further ado, we were given the right amount to buy.

- Well, if you are in the city, come visit again .(Rengil)

- Yeah.(Fran)

Since Captain Rengil knew Fran owned the Space Vault, he did not ask us any questions about transportation.

After that, we asked Rengil about Gallus and Zelsrid, but it seems he could not say anything.

However, we learned something else interesting about the Ashton family of marquis.

- This family is now in a difficult situation...(Rengil)

- Tough situation?(Fran)

-The Marquis Ashton received a guild accusation about his son, Serudio, who was an adventurer. As an A-rank adventurer, rumors began to swirl around him, and few people trusted him. Now that he has already lost his life, his numerous atrocities are surfaced. (Rengil)

Rank A Adventurer Serudio, we killed him in Urmut! For molesting Fran, trying to extort me from her, and for filthy offers to make Fran his concubine, he got what he deserved. Then we used the story of the Divine punishment that will befall the one who equips me, so that he himself, in fact, died from the curse of the sword in his stupidity.

However, Diaz, the head of the guild from Urmut, has already said something about the fact that he wants to solve the crimes committed by Serudio to the other heads of the guild. Apparently, he really did it. So the accused are the Marquis's family? Are they not afraid of anything?

- How can the guild afford to quarrel with the noble family of the Marquis?( Fran)

- Now they can. Still, thanks to the fact that the state helped the guild, the noble family seems to have paid all the compensation in full. (Rengil)

The guild had oral testimony from a respected A-rank adventurer, and evidence in the form of magical herbs. In addition, since the country did not want to spoil relations with the adventurer's guild, they decided to throw all the blame on Serudio.

Considering that they also have testimonies from Serudio's henchmen that the Ashton family ordered him to seek the Divine Swords, it was not without the usual scandal that lowered the trust in the family. The state itself is now watching them closely.

- Recently, their dark financial affairs have been revealed. Since our company also had to trade with the Marquis family, I can say that many times they did not pay their bills. (Rengil)

- I see

Rengil did not know that Fran was involved with Serudio's death. It looks like Diaz hasn't leaked unnecessary information. But it's hard to believe that with so many witnesses, Fran's involvement was so well hidden. I don't know if the Ashton family is aware of this.

If so, then they can not only hide where Gallus is, but also harbor a grudge against Fran. It would be better to be more attentive when meeting the Ashton family.

The next destination is Urmut, so I'll probably need to talk to Diaz.
