49 Back to Azmar City. (1/2)

After purging that wisp of Mana from his body, Ozul set off to go back to Azmar City.

The reason that Azmar City only had a Count as the City Lord while the Adron City had a Marquis ruling it was because of its location

Azmar City was one of the surrounding cities around Silverbird Capital City. Any critical decision can quickly be passed to the higher-ups in the Capital.

And if Borin's information was correct, then Azmar Town must be one of the cities encountering the unusual events.

Count Oliver was also their acquaintances, which could further help them. And he was sure that Oliver would want nothing more than for Ozul to 'help' him in these difficult times.

It took them a day to go back as Ozul was not in a hurry. Also, Blaze was not even a Rank-2 Fighter—running all the way to another city without taking any rest in between might be too much for him.

It didn't take a genius to notice the weird atmosphere on the streets. People were easily frightened of the unknown.

They had heard the news of multiple villages and the outskirts of the city facing against raging monsters.

It was nighttime when they arrived, so Ozul did not want to meet Count Oliver right away. They headed towards the house that they had left behind.

When they arrived before the house, Ozul could see that nothing much was different. Only the weeds and the grass had overgrown since no one was there to take care of it.

Raven opened the gate, and they entered. Ozul didn't even bother to head inside and just trimmed the grass around his spot under the tree before lying down.

Of course, Raven was a bit more responsible and cleaned the dirt in the house before heading back outside.

Blaze had also not bothered to enter the house and just started training in the garden! Soon, Raven also followed him.

. . .

The next morning, Ozul woke up due to the ever-annoying sunlight.

They headed towards Count Oliver's estate. Half an hour later, they were in front of the gates of his Manor.

The seemed new as when he saw them, he yelled;

”Hey! You! Where do you think you are going?...”-

But just as he was going to continue, the other guard shut him by smacking his head. He put on a flattering smile as he bowed and said;

”Please, forgive him, Lord. He is new here.”- He said while opening the gates. He was the guard who had probably recognized Ozul and Raven.

Ozul and the duo did not mind and just went inside.

This time, Count Oliver was outside in the garden instead of his office. There were several documents in his hand as he read them with a scrunched up face.

Behind him stood Butler Albert. He whispered about the presence of the guests to Oliver before moving inside to prepare for refreshments.

Count Oliver looked up to see the familiar faces of Ozul and Raven. A smile bloomed on his face looking at the faces, or instead, the answers for his almost every problem.

He was truly ashamed of himself knowing that it didn't take Ozul to leave for a week, and he already had a pile of problems! Maybe he was too reliant on Ozul for the past decade?

Such thoughts passed through his mind, but he shook them away as he needed Ozul right now. He said;

”Haha... Just like my guardian angels, you come whenever I'm in trouble!”- Oliver was a little giddy inside as he trusted Ozul and knew that his troubles would be solved sooner or later.

”If you consider me an angel...then your vision for angels might be a little too...nevermind.”- Ozul replied. He had unconsciously replied, but midway realized that he didn't care either way.

Only Ozul could do something like that! I mean, who would even stop midway talking just because they are too lazy!?
