469 467 Letter from the North (2/2)
”Hmm.”
Fran, not interested in the circumstances around him, takes Eliante's word for it. Fran's interest now was geared towards Eliante's hair.
”That hair, why does it change color?
Yes, Eliante's hair is usually blue, but they change to purple during battle. It's still purple.
”Oh, this? They call it a battle color. I hear the Worm Man has it every once in a while, but I just inherit it it a little too. When you're in a belligerent mood, it discolors.”
It seems that not all insects and half-wormers will be, but only some species. Besides, the half-worm people have great individual differences, and even if they inherit the power of the same type of bug, they have very different abilities and appearances.
”Sometimes it turns into a form of combat, some guys don't change their appearance at all”
”Like a mercenary who was in the square?
”You met those guys, didn't you? That's right.”
It seems that sturdy shrimps and locusts are usually the types that are close to humans and transform when they demonstrate their abilities. The mirrors and mirrors usually have strong characteristics as worms, but they do not transform any further. And the dental ants look close to humans, and they don't even transform.
”Eliante's friend?
”... well, maybe an old friend.”
Actually, I just heard a little bit about it, didn't I? Apparently, it is the survival of an exterminated mercenary regiment. This would be better not to touch too much with that.
”Fran, just deny my theory of death.”
”Eliante, the master...”
”Gilmouth! The eagle has arrived!
A man came down from the second floor of the guild screamed to block Fran's words. He holds one letter in his hand. You're excited, you're a little shitty. Looks like he was transported by a messenger eagle from somewhere else.
”From where?
”It's the northern border. The sender is - Aretha's Alliance Master!
”! Could it be Reidos?
”Yes! A unit believed to be a powerful reconnaissance of the Reids kingdom tried to cross the border, and Aretha's Knights went out to intercept”
Seriously! Isn't that too good a time? Could Fanatics have also connected with the Reids kingdom?
”So! What happened!
”Yes. The Knights were accompanied by Rank B Adventurer Jean Doobie, who said he had exterminated the Reids Royal Army!
At that moment, the guild was filled with the exclamation uttered by the adventurers. And soon there will be a drink. They don't have a single adventurer who thinks it's a lie.
I don't know how much you work with the Knights, but I don't think it's the result of a Rank B adventurer, such as annihilating the troops of the Reids kingdom alone.
”Phew. That's right, kill everyone!
Speaking of which, Jean had two noisy names.
”Jean, wow.”
”He's an exceptional, rank-a treated man in a war against the military, isn't he? You can bury even the main unit you were supposed to refrain from afterwards on your own, but you wouldn't be the enemy of a powerful reconnaissance unit.”
Apparently, the Kranzel Kingdom was saved by that dubious necromancer with a laugh.
”I will deliver this report to the King! Tell them everywhere! I need one bright story right now!
When Eliante gave instructions to his men, he jumped out of the guild himself.
'Hmm. Again, you couldn't correct the mistake...'
