30 30. Fourth-class adventurer "Tsubame dancing with the wind".txt (1/2)

The fourth level adventurer party, ”The Wind and the Dancing Swallow”, is a group of six men only.

They are Damien, a swordsman and leader; Arnaud, a heavy warrior with a large shield and a spear; Edgar, a thief and former scout; Rainer, a dwarf archer; Ivo, the oldest and most experienced sorcerer; and Johannes, who specializes in recovery magic.

The name of the party is not a deep meaning, just the name of the leader, Damien, taken from his favorite animal.

The guild has asked him to investigate the safety of the vicinity of the imperial capital.

''Is it because the defense of the imperial capital and escorting travelers and merchants is a knight's job? It's a good argument, but that attitude isn't right.''

It was Edgar who complained.

He complained, rooted in what he had been told by one of the knights he happened to encounter who was responsible for the defense of the imperial city.

They had come about an hour's walk from the Imperial City.

Edgar is moving his mouth to vent his frustration, but he is firmly wary of his surroundings.

''Rumors that the knights look down on us adventurers, it seems to be true.

He was answered by an archer, Ryner.

He is a dwarf, a dwarf who says he can anticipate the movement of the wind, and he has a far-sightedness.

'There are many different kinds of knights. It's unimpressive to think that just seeing two or three of them is all that's left.''

It was Ivo, the oldest of the young men, who tended to them.

He was fifty years old and still had the physical strength of a young man, and his experience and thoughtfulness came in handy at the party.

'But Grandpa Yojo: ......'

Edgar protests subduedly, since he is dealing with Ivo.

The only person I've ever met was Barshmiede, the previous president of the First Order, but he's a very friendly man.

Ivo spoke with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

'Grandfather, you've met the head of the Order? I'm surprised that way.'

Edgar rolls his orange eyes.

'It was a long time ago now, but...'

Ivo said that and didn't say the rest.

They suspected that there was a reason.

The sorcerer Ivo is a heavy-spoken person, and he refuses to talk about things he doesn't want to talk about.

He is a trustworthy old man to whom you can confide your secrets, but that's why he decides it's impossible to make you continue what you just said.

'Maybe it's time to take a turn. Let's go get the leaders.

Edgar said.

Leader Damien and the others were now resting under the shade of a tree.

The unbalanced formation of scouts, archers and sorcerers as guards was a sign of their confidence or a sign of their carelessness.
