435 433 Swamp called Work (2/2)
”Mm-hmm. They attacked me”
”I knew it! Why are they attacking me? My job is doubled because of you! My job is quadrupled in three cases!
It's unreasonable. I don't know why they're attacking me. Well, I don't even think I can make a decent decision on Eliante right now, and I think he's just pointing his anger spearhead indiscriminately. There's no such thing as normal thinking left in a man who's stuck in a job swamp.
”Urgent requests are doubled, unwarranted protests against adventurers are hiccups, and why should I be pissed off until it has nothing to do with the Adventurer Guild? If it's a commotion in the King's City, complain to the Knights!
Eliante screams with half a cry.
”So, what the hell is Princess Black Thunder doing in a walking troublemaker?”
”Raided in aristocratic city”
”Ma, again! Again! Why!”
Uh, I'm totally crying already. I guess I imagined a future with even more work. Corberto also opened his mouth again, feeling that the conversation was not going to go on as it was.
”Uh, right. That's a lot of damage. You want to hire an adventurer to replenish your power?
”Was there such a big fight?
”Oh, actually -”
Corberto will explain everything. Then Eliante's expression tightened. Even if you're tempered. That's the Alliance Master.
”In other words, he said Count Baileys' separate residence was raided by Ashtoner's idiot. In return, you want me to inspect Count Olmes' apartment and do Ashtoner's fool?
”Sort of. The employer is after it. On the face of it is an entry investigation into the Count Olmes residence. But it will certainly be a battle with the Marquis Ashtoner.”
”Then he rescued Master Gauls and Count Baileys' daughter...”
”You too, Marquis Ashtoner, do you have something to think about? They only think of adventurers as disposable tools. I used to be paid a commission.”
”Naturally! How many adventurers have been harmed because of them... Sergio Receps has also lost his reputation...... Finally the last of that fucking Marquis, huh?
Eliante has a dark grin. Maybe you're imagining Marquis Ashtoner being captured.
”Oh. So what do you say? I'd like to make a secret request to the adventurer.”
”Hmm. I don't mind that, but how many of you might take it? Doesn't it suit you to work with the Marquis? Besides, if we can't get together, we'll just sneak up on the high rankers.”
”I know. That's why the asking fee is so high. And... Miss Fran.”
”Mmm.”
Under Colbert's gaze, he removes the bodies of those swordsmen whom Fran has attacked the Count's residence who he considers adventurous. Eliante's reaction was quick when he saw it.
”Ha! They weren't our adventurers who were missing!
”He was a member of the Raiders.”
”Apparently, the Marquis Ashtoner family has the skills to brainwash and manipulate humans. Besides these guys, Count Baileys' subordination was part of the raid.”
”... would you like to hear more about it? This sword and the details of the opponent...”
I hear Eliante really cared to listen to me. Handing over the body of the adventurer here was a meeting with Colbert in advance.
The guild will also ensure that the adventurer under its command cooperates if he finds out he is captured and manipulated. In some cases, some of their associates may show up to take requests for revenge.
Eliante, finished listening to Corberto, has an angry look on his face.
”Fine...... I'll remind Ashtoner who he sold the fight to! How soon do we get the adventurers together?
”In two hours, I'll pick you up here”
”Okay. Gather your strength by then. Count Baileys was originally famous for his adventurous snoring, and if you give him your name, he'll have quite a crowd.”
”Nice to meet you.”
”Well, good to see you.”
”Yeah, welcome.”
Frans tried to leave the room by shaking hands with Eliante. But Eliante spoke on its back.
”Wait a minute. You need power, don't you? It's on me.”
