Chapter 467: Letter from the North
After parting with Colbert, we were about to enter the guild.
「Ungh」
Fran pulled herself up and took a step to the side from in front of the door. Immediately after that, something flew out of the door with tremendous force.
It rolled along the ground and stopped in the middle of the road.
「Ugh...」
It was something, or rather, a person. An adventurer. And quite strong. I'd say he's at least a rank C. I appraise him, he's just unconscious. But I don't think he'll die.
「Ga, Gareth! Are you okay!」
The adventurer who blew up, Gareth, is followed by another man, this time a small fat man, who comes running out. I wonder if he's one of the fellow adventurers. What in the world is going on in the Adventurer's Guild?
「Muh, blood thirst?」
『Could it be an attack by the Marquis' remnants?』
「Nn. Let's go!」
『Be careful!』
Fran cautiously opened the door to the guild―――.
「Look what you've done in this emergency, wasting our time with your nonsense! The theater's been destroyed, and we're all in despair! You should be thankful you're not dead!」
It seemed that Eliante was the one who was letting out the blood thirst. She was shaking his purple hair and glaring at the entrance of the guild with the expression of a madman.
「What happened?」
「Oh, Fran? I'm sorry. I kind of mistook you for those idiots.」
「The ones who just walked out?」
「That's right. They've wasted so much time!」
She's pretty angry, and her eyes glared fiercely.
「What happened?」
「Those guy―――」
「......Well, old friends, I guess」
Actually, I've heard a bit of a story about them. It seems that she is a survivor of a mercenary group that was wiped out. It would be better if I didn't mention it too much.
『Fran, in the meantime, you can dismiss my death theory』
「Eliante, Master is――」
「Guild Master! A hawk has arrived!」
As if to interrupt Fran's words, a man came down from the second floor of the guild and shouted. In his hand, he holds a letter. It's a little crumpled, as if he's excited. It seems to have been carried by a messenger hawk from elsewhere.
「From where?」
「From the northern border. The sender is――Allesa's Guild Master」
「! Maybe it's about Raidos?」
「Yes! A force believed to be a reconnaissance unit from the Kingdom of Raidos attempted to cross the border, and the Knights of Alessa went to intercept them」
Seriously? Isn't the timing too good? Could it be that the Fanatics were also connected to the Kingdom of Raidos?
「And then! What happened!」
「Y-yes. The knights were accompanied by rank B adventurer Jean Doobie, and they annihilated the forces of Raidos Kingdom!」
At that moment, the guild was filled with the admiration of the adventurers. And the cheers soon followed. Not a single adventurer seemed to think it was a lie.
No matter how well they work with the Knights, I don't think it's very likely that a rank B adventurer would be able to destroy a unit of the Raidos Kingdom by himself.
「Fuh. No wonder he killed them all!」
By the way, Jean was a disturbing nickname.
「Jean is amazing」
「He's a guy who's been granted a special rank of A in military battles. Even the main force that was supposed to be waiting after him can be buried single-handedly, so a reconnaissance unit is probably no match for him」
Apparently, that suspicious necromanced saved the Kingdom of Kranzel with a smirk.
「I'll take this report to the king! And you, tell to the citizens! We need at least one good news right now!」
When Eliante gave instructions to her men, she himself ran out of the guild.
『Hmmm. We lost our chance to clear up the misunderstanding again......』
