Chapter 123 - Guild Master (1) (1/2)

Billy didn't remember seeing any of that… probably because he didn't put much thought into his speech. Nevertheless, most parties had six members, and since she could manipulate the four basic elements, Billy thought that Sarah could be useful… the only problem was Natalie. Letting mom join when they head to another dungeon might be beyond her tolerance level.

”If you can convince the others, I don't mind,” Billy said.

”Thank you, I will talk with them properly,” Sarah said and then left.

She sure had steel nerves… unlike Sarah, Billy wouldn't try to get along with those that hated him. Even for the sake of power… that would be too much of a pain. No… Apparently, Sarah was doing that for her tribe, so her throwing away her pride and enduring hardships of that level wasn't that surprising.

Sarah didn't return to tell Billy of her success, but she appeared on the day of the departure. For some reason, Natalie didn't look pissed. Was she being tolerant, or does she grows tired of letting Sarah's presence annoy her?

”It seems that everyone is ready…” Billy said while looking around the city's exit and seeing some fields of grain being looked after by some workers. ”It seems that by the time we return, they will be done with the first harvest of those fields.”

”What does that has to do with anything?” Lily asked.

”I will be looking forward to eating more and experimenting with the dishes of Hiloh state,” Billy said. ”Oh, well… Let's get going.”

The group began to travel in silence. Although they didn't get along, Sarah and Natalie sure had many similarities. The fact that their poor communication skills were making things awkward was one of them. Fortunately, to compensate for them, Lily and Kate didn't know when to shut up. Still, since Billy was already used to that, he didn't mind.

”Can you please tell me how was your first time in a dungeon?” Sarah asked. ”If I hear them beforehand, I won't become a burden and make mistakes when the real thing starts.”

Those were some misleading words, but only Billy thought that. In any case, Kate began to tell in rich details about their adventures during the week they stayed in Silverbreakers dungeon town. She talked so much that the day was over when she finished… two days later, the group found Pierre waiting for them on the other side.

”You must hate this, huh,” Billy said.

”Hate, what?” Pierre frowned.

”You are a Captain, but you have to escort us around,” Billy said.
