"Please my lord calm down"

Adam the butler used a handkerchief to wipe some sweat from his brow He had just arrived at the Baron's office with bad news, his son waswatch over hione The man didn't send in the weekly report as usual and by the time they sent someone else to check there was no Roland to be found

"T-The report said that the adventurer party that he was traveling asn't in the city of Carwen either, theymaster"

Wentworth Arden, Roland's father stood there behind his desk In a fit of rage, he had tossed his chair at the wall,the butler but a hair

"Get out and sendout of the room with haste The Baron rabbed himself a bottle of schnapps to soothe his nerves He looked to be quite angry while he drank He had seen the whole report, the one

There were a couple of possibilities, sooing to a different city was there but the disappearance of one of his e The Baron sry that the possibility of his son's death was out there

"Did he escape?"

The ht fro his son would be difficult if he decided to run away He didn't have enough pull to get the adventurer's guild to give out his location Only large Ducal houses or the King could achieve such thing, the adventurer guilds around the kingdom were very adamant with there rules They also had so to go against if push came to shove

"Or did he perish?"

This was the other option on the table, one that he didn't want to believe in He shook his head while taking a swig froain, his chair was already on the way and he needed to get back to work

So in a largescenery with boredom He had been on the road for a week already, there was no TV or internet here so he was left with staring at the scenery or reading books

He had already gone through the storage bag that his previous party o back and throw it at their faces as they left ten sold coins inside This was est suirls had

He couldn't do his rune scribing as he didn't have any ood to just do it out in the open in atrain He had no books to study up either nor was he feeling sleepy and that was probably due to his sleep resistance skill

This long journey had taken over a whole week but noas close to being over He had seen the scenery change quite a bit through his travels The Caldris Kingdorass fields and forest areas scattered throughout the land

The oing it looked to be colder,into lands with a higher altitude as many rocky structures appeared While on the last stretch of his travels, he saw the scenery turn rocky and they were going into a e There was a reason why this city was known for having blacksard, please take all of your belongings while going out"

The train drove up at the last stretch, the city of Edelgard was built into a large mountain You could even see so out of thee bridge that connected two city parts Under it was quite the large gorge, a fall from here would spell certain death

This city made him think about dwarfs from some of the fantasy books he used to read back on earth In them it was always stated that this race liked to build their cities on or in round He was finally here, he didn't need to carry his luggage thanks to his spatial bag this time around

'I have arrived!'

He walked out half nervous and half excited This was a new place filled with opportunities that could come to fruition This was also a place filled with uncertainty which made his belly feel like he had a swarreet him here or help hih as he was used to working solo, the short tiirls was the exception to the rule

'Dingdingding'

He heard the sound of a large bell He turned to it and sao people in robes The robes hite but due to tiray There were so was the large yellow sun sy people were close to the exit so he needed to move there Roland already had an idea of who these two people were

"Praise the sun traveler, may the Goddess Solaria bless you on your travels, would you like to join us for prayer?"

The person in the robe called out while waving the bell around The voice was an older man, next to hiender She was holding a large plate in both her hands and holding it out as if asking for so

Roland knew about the identity of these people They belonged to the Church of the Sun, they worshi+pped the Goddess Solaria From his more e Nevertheless, people froranted the acolyte class that could then evolve into the cleric, you could even beco on a plate was heard as Roland dropped soh he never liked churches, in this world they were in a strong position The class changing stones that were a necessity were actually produced by these people

No one knew exactly how it happened, the Churches only revealed that it was all thanks to the power of their God The stones were ruift frorow in power This church wasn't the only one that was able to produce this coo that overboard even though the stones weren't that cheap

"Praise the sun!"

Roland nodded while passing the two priests that saw their next target behind him, he finally left the train station and went outside He could see a lot of s out of the chimnies from this city Most of the houses were made from rock or bricks, it was hard to spot any wooden structures here as he passed

His first destination was the adventurer's guild, even though there was no dungeon located next to this city, it still operated in it as in the others The adventurers here were uards and even cleared out some eons monsters existed in the wild, so there was always some work to be done
