197 Guild Master and Rulf 2
"Yes," Hearing Rulf's confirmation, the guild master nodded his head in agreement.
"But guild master, didn't you say that Edmond didn't complete the mission. Also, he returned to deregister the mission the next day," Rulf was confused and asked his doubts.
"I only said, he didn't submit that mission as accomplished," the guild master said as he shook his head at Rulf who didn't understand his exact words from back then.
"Huh?" Rulf looked at the guild master for more explanation.
"He completed the mystery behind the Never-returning cave, but he didn't announce it the world as though something was obstructing him from saying about the never-returning cave,"
The old guild master paused for a second before continuing, "By his words from back then he never admitted that he finished the mission, but his actions said another story."
"So, this is a good thing for all the humans, right?" Rulf was excited as the never-returning cave could increase the cultivation of an individual.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
When Edmond took the mission, he was only an Elite commander realm cultivator. Still, after a few months, his abilities drastically improved, which made him admired by most of the mercenaries.
"Oh Rulf, you still didn't understand it," the old guild master shook his head at the foolish follower.
Rulf's excitement disappeared at the guild master's serious words.
"After Edmond left the mercenary guild, I asked him about the never-returning cave to which he answered 'If you find a cultivator with my abilities, then you will know', after that he didn't answer any of my questions,"
The old man sighed as he explained the exact words from Edmond from the past.
"How dare he, he didn't say even to you who asked him personally?" Rulf became angry after hearing the explanation of the guild master.
According to him, his master was the greatest among all, so he was willingly following him from his childhood.
Although Rulf called the old man as guild master most of the time, they were a master-follower pair.
However, their bond was more than that.
Originally, Rulf was an orphan who was always bullied by other children.
One day, the guild master noticed him while passing through his village and took pity on him.
He gave him food and taught various cultivation and fighting techniques.
Seeing the care of the guild master towards him, he saw his father in the guild master who was passed away when he was eight years old.
So, he didn't go against the guild master's words until now. Whatever the guild master says, he would do it gladly without any hesitation.
'What are you planning now Edmond, by sending two young ones int the never-returning cave?' After Rulf left his room, the guild master silently thought in his head.
'Since you sent them into the cave, that shows you are confident in them. I will see what will they do after they return. Will they do the same thing as you did in the past?' the guild master continued to think about the never-returning cave that he was obsessed with, for a few years now.
Although he wasted so much time trying to solve the secret behind the never-returning cave, he thought it was worth the time for him.
........
Outside the Guildmaster's room,
'I wonder what is the background of Edmond that made even the guild master to not to reveal?' Rulf, who left the guild master's room, pondered about the background of Edmond along the way to his room.
'Is it really powerful? The guild master has only a few opponents in the Zrochestor province. So, Edmond might be from one of those few opponents' sects or families,' he shook his head and left to the room.
Those opponents were mostly the grand elders of the sects and people from the Royal family.
So, Rulf immediately related Edmond to those people and stopped thinking about Edmond since he couldn't really make him reveal the secrets about the cave if he was related to those people.
