Chapter 434: The Top Brass

Chapter 434: The Top Brass

Eliante said that she had an idea for more forces. When Colbert urged him to go on, Eliante called her men and told them to bring someone with them.

In less than five minutes, the guild member returned with a person. He got a short stature.

[Hey hey, did you called for me. What can I do for you?]

[Fran, Colbert. This man is Faize. He's an adventurer and a member of the Thieves' Guild.]

[What?]

Colbert stares at Faize with a surprised look in his eyes. Faize's eyes widened too as his identity was easily exposed.

[...Eliante-sama, if you expose me so easily, you may got various problems aren't Cha?]

[SO noisy, 11m in a hurry right now, Shut up]

It was a little better, but Eliante's bad mood was still there. A murderous glare hit him, and Faize sighed and fell silent. Looks like he is having a hard time.

As Eliante explained, Faize seems to be a watchdog for the adventurer's guild's watcher and link to the bandit's guild.

Even though there is an unspoken rule not to openly get involved with each other, it is impossible to have no relations at all when they are active in the capital.

So, it seems that there are several personnel who belong to both guilds, like Faize, and at least one of them is stationed at the guild. It seems that only the adventurer's guild's top brass knows who they are, though.

[It's urgent. Tell the top brass to gather. Tell them that there may be a disturbance in the royal capital. Anyway, they might already have a general idea of what's going on, so they'll know]

[......Understood. Are they the ones who are

going to bring us together?]

[That kid there, she is Fran the Black Lightning

Princess, You've heard of her, right?]

[Hou? She is......I understand. If it's her,

the top brass won't say no.]

What does he mean? Does it mean that Fran's name is known to the Thieves' Guild? We've also met Kalk, maybe that's how they got the message.

[Then, let's make the arrangements right away]

He could tell from Eliantels attitude that it really was an emergency. Faize bowed and swiftly left the room.

[Guild master, can we trust the Thieves' Guild]

[We'll use the back door]

[Okay]

The watchmen looked at Fran, but said nothing in particular. It was probably because she was Faizels guest. After a quick word with the man, Faize and us walked further into the room and were ushered into a small private room. However, there was no one in the room.

[Here?]

[Wait a minute]

I wondered what he was going to do, but then he pulled the string by the entrance. To my surprise, the wall opened to the left and right, revealing a hidden staircase.

[Wow-]

Fran's eyes light up at this. Wow, a hidden passage is a roman, right?

Faize led the way down the stairs to a rather large basement, with an ornate round table in the middle of the room, big enough for about ten people.

There were three men and a woman sitting there. They were not necessarily our allies yet, so I felt free to appraise them. Although each of them had low combat power, they had an interesting skill set.

The scarred, bald-headed man sitting in the middle was a typical bandit in appearance and skills. He had a skill set similar to that of a scout adventurer. He also had the charisma and command abilities to be the leader of the bandits. However, the moment he saw Fran, he grabbed his cheeks pull into a big smile.

The handsome man in his early thirties sitting to his right was a complete marriage fraudster. He had acting skills and skills that might be useful for lying and threatening. He also has the skill of attracting the opposite sex and the title of woman killer. He looks a little like that Serdiols bastard. In addition, he seems to be able to use some magic.

The bewitching beauty on the left seemed to be the head of the prostitutes. In addition to her skills for cajoling men, she had a lot of skills related to poisons. A prostitute who knows a lot about poison. She's scary!

[Well then, I'll leave her with you]

[Ou. Good work]

Faize bowed to the three of them and left the room.

[Oh, I'm Fist]

[I am Honest]

[I'm pink]

They all were using fake names. No, they were criminals, so that was to be expected. The man in the middle was Fist. The con man is Honest. The prostitute is Pink.

Fist greeted us in a shaky voice, sweating profusely. He must have sensed Fran's ability and was terrified. I could see his eyes checking the walls and floor.

At first glance, it looks like there are no guards, but there are more than ten people around this room. There are hidden doors all over the place, and they must have a guard hiding in one of it.

It seems that Fist thought about how he could use the guards to get rid of Fran. Then he realized that it was useless. On the contrary, he seemed to have regained his composure.

[Adventurer, Fran]

[O, ou. Actually, we have some business with you. In fact, I was going to contact you even if this hadn't happened. Well, please have a seat]
