Chapter 117 - What to do (2/2)
All of us (except for Crow) are guided to one big room, so that we could all lay down for a while. Once we are inside
”So, did you guys found anything?” [Worker A]
”Well...” [Alaric]
Alaric and I explained to the worker that comes with us. They're someone that Crow trusted so that's why we can share certain information to them
”I see, well, the butler did seem suspicious, but the noble son didn't give the same impression” [Worker B]
”Agree” [Bodyguard A]
”Maybe the head of the house and the butler knew something, while the son doesn't. Not everything should be kept open, even among family member” [Worker C]
”I see, that is a possibility” [Ash]
Guess I should ask Crow to investigate this noble house further. If it were me, I didn't think I will do half a good job as Crow did.
And when dusk greet us all, Crow decided to book us all a large inn near to the mansion, and once again, when we are all inside,
”I see, so you two haven't felt the spying eye ever since then, and the butler, just like you mentioned, really do feel off” [Crow]
Crow lean back, thinking for a moment before
”You should just stay here, and start the investigation when you are sure they're not watching you anymore” [Crow]
”Agree, but should this persist...” [Ash]
”You will go and ”greet” them personally?” [Alaric]
”That's risky” [Lisa]
”Agree” [Crow]
”Well, that's true, but what other option do we have?” [Ash]
”How about we ask the adventure guild here for help” [Lisa]
”Well, about that...” [Crow]
Crow seem to know something, wonder what happen
”Well, if the rumour that my friend heard are true, the adventure guild master and some good profile adventure are contracting some ”mysterious illness”, and thus they're being ”treated” by the church” [Crow]
”I see, and I bet the guild master replacement is someone well connected with the old follower” [Lisa]
”That seem to be the case” [Crow]
”This is hard” [Alaric] ”That make it simple” [Ash]
””!!”” [Crow, Lisa]
Huh, look like we have two conflicting opinions here
”Well, I could just ”ask” this replacement ”nicely” for some juicy information, what do you guys think?” [Ash]
”It's risky” [Alaric]
”And we are still being watched” [Crow]
”But the information that we will get is good” [Lisa]
”Then, I should ”greet” the replacement after everything settles down” [Ash]
”Fine... but promise me, don't do anything too reckless” [Crow]
”Well, what he is about to do is basically reckless” [Alaric]
”Agree” [Lisa]
Well, given the option, I do believe this will be risky, but the pay off will be good. Still, we still have to consider the watching eyes, and
”They aren't watching?” [Crow]
”No, they still aren't” [Alaric]
”Well, just to be on a safe side, we should wait for another one or two day to confirm it” [Lisa]
”Sure” [Ash]
Better be safe than sorry
