379 Red-coloured paper crane
An old man and a man in his late twenties rushed towards in a specific direction.
In front of them, there was a paper crane that was leading them to a specific direction.
The paper crane looked similar to the one that Captain Edmond had released when he came out of his residence.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
However, there was a small difference between the two paper cranes.
The one that Captain Edmond released was in pure white colour.
As for the crane, they were following now was in a red-coloured.
"Guild master, why are we following this paper crane?" As the two people were running, the man in the late-twenties asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Just stop asking me these questions and follow me. If you don't want, then you can return back to the mercenary guild and complete other things,"
The old man scolded the man in his late-twenties which made that middle-aged man seal his mouth all a sudden.
These two were none other than the Guild master of the Mercenary guild and his follower Rulf.
When they were in the middle of some meeting, suddenly a paper crane had appeared from the window of the Guild master room making the Guild master stand up from his chair in a tense expression.
The red-coloured paper crane only stopped for a second in front of the Guild master before starting flying away.
As soon as it started flying away, the old guild master didn't even wear his usual armour before rushing after it.
Seeing that his master was running after the red-coloured paper crane, Rulf didn't have any chance as he started following his master.
Along the way, he had asked some many questions and continued to repeat those questions which irritated the old guild master and finally scolded him.
To Edmond's words, Udo embarrassedly laughed while stroking his small white beard.
"What happened to the task I assigned to you? Did you complete it?" Edmond shook his head and asked about the mission details.
"Guild master was not in the mercenary guild. So, I was not able to inform him about the demon's siege or spirit beast horde," Udo shook his head but still, he continued, "However, I informed to Sarah about it and asked her to relay that information to the Guild master as soon as he returns back to the mercenary guild."
"What? He is not in the guild? There is no way he would have other things other than lazing in this room thinking about some past events," Edmond was shocked to hear that the guild master was not present in the mercenary guild.
According to his understanding of the guild master, Edmond knew that this guild master doesn't like to leave his room unless it was very important.
'What that important thing might be?' Immediately, Edmond's previous sleepiness vanished into thin air thinking about the reason why the Guild master had left the mercenary guild at a time like this.
"According to Sarah, both the guild master and his follower are seen following a paper crane and rushed towards the Cursed wilderness. So, while coming back I took the same entrance they took to enter the Cursed Wilderness but I didn't encounter them," While Edmond was thinking about the reason, Udo explained something more he got to know from the beautiful assistant from the mercenary guild.
"What? A paper crane? Which colour is it?" As soon as he heard Udo's words,?Edmond immediately stood up and weakly staggered towards Udo and asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Huh? Wait wait wait," Seeing the weakly walking Edmond, Udo came forward to support him and said, "I think, it's pink or red. Sarah was also not clear about the colour of the paper crane"
"What? A red-coloured paper crane?" Edmond's already pale face became even more pale when he heard Udo's words.
"She was not that clear about the colour. She only mentioned that it might be a pink or red coloured paper crane,"
When he saw the pale expression on Edmond's face grew, he once again tried to explain about that colour.
"There are no pink paper cranes, only red paper cranes," Edmond shook his head and looked at all the peacefully sleeping Godsons and Goddaughters.
'I think, Guild master and his follower will help a member who has used that red-coloured paper crane in right...sigh,' Captain Edmond sighed while looking at the distant Barbarian who was guarding them and sighed.
He knew that he was in no condition to help the one who used that red-coloured crane and he didn't even know who was the one using it and where he was at the moment.
Thinking all about it, Edmond felt helpless and hoped that the guild master would help them at the right time.
"Edmond, what does that red-coloured paper crane actually mean?" Udo asked after Edmond while moving him back to his resting place.
