Chapter 128 Time to return. (2/2)

Roland didn’t beat around the bush with his question He was tired and his arh a couple of runicskills it barely was able to produce defensive spells All of thethe scuffle with the boss and he just wanted to go home

“That depends on theated to stay with theht”

Silvio ht This was the academy instructor that they came with and he would decide if this was over The time they spent down here was over teeks and they would probably need a day or two to get back

“Sir Bertold, this won’t do We must return this instant, there isn’t even that h to think she proved that she can handle herself here!”

Roland perked up as the blond-haired noble lady started shouting After she was done hugging Lucille she strutted over to the High Knight instructor by the naht in question looked slightly troubled by this request He was probably weighing the pros and cons of this decision Finally, after a moment of silence, he spoke out

“Lady Charlene… I would normally be inclined to let you off but rules are rules…”

At first, the blond lady started to sed to a pout Both she and also Percival were now talking with the High Knight

“But Sir Bertold!”

“No young lady, let me finish”

“This exercise was supposed to take a minimum of three weeks and we are a few days short, may I propose a sroup of nobles started to beco with each other From what Roland could tell it was a positive proposition as the blond lady’s pout turned to a big bright suess we are packing up”

Silvio co a s, he could clearly hear what the nobles were discussing even though they were standing far away Soon everyone else was clued in by the Knight commander, Lord Percival

“Listen up everyone, ill return to our encaht but soon Roland knehy Silvio was s

“Only half of our force will come with me while the rest remains with Lady Charlene and Lucille We will only be returning to take theprovisions…”

Fro a smaller force to clear out the ca that Lucille was alive and well, half of them moved here while some people remained at the old encampment

“We will then meet up with the adventurer party before the boss chamber and then head up to the city where ill stay for the relad Wayland, just relax, you'll be horeat to have that Percival fellow on our side, he gave that old knight an offer that he couldn't refuse”

"An offer?"

Roland asked while not really sure of what Silvio was talking about He did not hear any part of the conversation but not like he was listening to the nobles from the start Silvio on the other hand was quite sneaky about it

"Use your i for at this point in his life?"

Silvio gave hi out to do a sweep of the area He left Roland with ist of it

The tier 3 knight was already past his pri for a place to retire Percival belonged to a count's estate, he ood words here and there he could propose a position at the count's side, ht become some kind of commander there

'If it's like that then maybe'

The nobles were to return outside of this dungeon but they would stay in the city for longer It would look like the Knights stayed for three weeks down in the dungeon which would allow the less suspicious when they returned It seeh nobles but why Percival used this card remained unknown to him It didn't seem as if he would have failed, either as he really just being cordial towards the tired Lucile?

If Roland had to be truly honest, he thought this was the wrong decision This only showed the young nobles that if soet aithto keep it hidden, probably so like this would certainly not go doell during an actual war

While shaking his head about this deal the rest of the people startedHe was now separated froni remained His Ruby Wolf had actually leveled up quite a bit thanks to the boss fight and then the manysoon as he was already level 46 at this point

“Woof!”

‘Tamed beasts have it easy…’

Roland patted the wolf on the head while gru up Even with his debugging skill he wasn't this fast

“Let us head out!”

The knights see here Noithout the two slow h the lake in one piece

While walking he could only think about it finally being over and that his identity was safely kept hidden away He had to co a fewBernir almost weld it in place

The helhtly different and even when he opened it up, the top part of his face was covered He had enough space to get food into his

Sometime later they arrived at the boss room exit They had tofor the second part of the knights They needed to spend one more day here till they lancing his way from time to time but noas back to his old party The adventurers had their own encaether

After not having much sleep for almost a whole week, he retired to his tent that he had toof setting these up, so he would not stay awake for that part

Even while being stuck with the talkative Sister Kassia in his rooed to fall asleep rather quickly Unbeknownst to him, the woman prattled on for hours as due to his hel off

The rest ell and without a hitch The High Knight and Percival returned without getting ambushed by overleveled hts had leveled up while fighting the tier 2 monsters in the lower levels so they had no problem with these tier 1 variants

“Finally I’eon for at least another eon stairs and was the first one outside The other adventurers were quite interested in the large party of knights and adventurers that were co out There was one person in particular that stood up The beat-up ar to fall apart at any minute

It was finally over, Roland could feel the clear air and even see the sunlight shi+ning down into his visor He hadit What remained to do was to return home and count the coins…
