Chapter 295 - The Snakes (2/2)

”What's coming?” Another adventurer asked

”T-T-T-The…”

”The?”

”D-D-Dragon…”

At first, no one took him seriously.

”Dragon? Pfft” The adventurer snorted

He then turned to the man, and with a serious look said. ”We don't have time for your jokes. If you've got a problem, set up an emergency quest. You don't look too good, did you go drinking or something?” The adventurer asked

The man slowly shook his head before replying

”N-No… I'm not joking! I-I woke it up… I woke up the D-Dragon… I'm sorry… I'm sorry-”

The adventurer suddenly grabbed the man by the Collarr, more annoyed than ever. ”I Told you STOP JOKING AROUND! We all know that there aren't any dragons in our continent, they're extinct! They're even rarer to find in dungeons!” Shouted the adventurer

For a moment, the whole room was quiet.

”A dragon? At this time?”

”Can they even live in the cold?”

”If it's a snow-dragon, then maybe… But they're S-Rank monsters which even an S-Rank party can't handle… It's probably another fake quest.”

Fake quests were quests submitted mainly for the purpose of killing an adventurer. An adventurer would be targeted and a quest would be made in the chances of the targeted specifically accepting it. Then after they'd be in that area, they'd be assassinated.

”You better not be trying to set us up…” Said the adventurer as the tightened the grip on the man's Collar.

The man now struggling to both speak and breathe gasped for air as he muttered

”I-I… I'm not… I… Saw it… I-In…”

Suddenly, The Bright Sword walked up to the adventurer who held the man by the collar, and grasped the man's arm as he said.

”Let him go, let's hear what he has to say.”

Seeing this, the adventurer clicked his tongue before letting go of the man, causing him to drop straight down on to his knees.

With a smile, the Bright Sword slowly went down to the man's level and stared at him straight in the eye. He seemed to be a man from the slums who wouldn't even be able to afford his own pair of clothes. He could see this from how malnutritioned he was however he was properly dressed in a robe.

”This is a rather serious matter, so if you're lying, I hope you're ready to reap what you sow.” Said The Bright Sword with the same cold smile
