683 681 Francs apology (1/2)
”You're finally here.”
”Mmm.”
”Good to be here in time”
”Thanks to Ursi”
”On!”
Two weeks after competing in a cooking contest in Barbora.
We had arrived safely in Urmut.
No, I've had a lot going on these past two weeks.
First, at the request of Gumd, Gilmouth of Barbora, we were to go to the crystal cage. At the time of last year's contest, it is a magic enclave near Barbora, which witnessed Falund for the first time.
The lack of meat due to the culinary contest asked me to procure warcraft meat.
I could have said no, but Fran got carried away. They were still fascinated by the fact that it was a demonic realm.
It must have been bad to meet a mysterious red-haired woman during a cooking contest and to have a battle frenzy soul on fire.
It was good until I hunted a good amount of Warcraft...... I went a little too deep and got to beefy with a bunch of Thunderbird, the strongest warcraft in the crystal cage.
Thunderbird is a Warcraft of Threat B, with speeds above those of Fran and each other. You didn't expect it to exceed the speed of a flashing flash of lightning.
However, I was fortunate that the other person's back hand was a thunderous attribute. The Thunder Attribute is disabled during Flash Lightning. In addition, the combined use of Physical Attack Deactivation had made it unharmed to eat a thunderous assault, the opponent's special attack.
Well, that drained my magic all at once, and I could only escape. I wanted to finish one if I could, but even with five of them, that wasn't acceptable.
Fran would not have been safe without the help of Ursi, who was badly injured and yet fell asleep.
That's a Rank B Warcraft. I think I could handle up to two of them...
But it's not like we didn't get anything out of it, is it? I came across a massive amount of Thunderbird's thunder hair just in case. Fran didn't seem interested at all because he couldn't eat it, but he sold it to Gumd for a high price.
It can be used for protective equipment, but they say it will be super luxury when used for bedding. They can process everything so that there is no static electricity whatsoever. No, it could be awesome, but also the royal nobility who gives out a million gold or something, I don't understand...
I was going to travel to Urmut soon afterwards, but there was a little problem there and it was going to be stopped.
Last year, during an incident in Barbora, there was a Chamber of Commerce where evil was uncovered and crushed by the activities of the Frans.
He is the second son of a lord, the Tolmaio Chamber of Commerce, which was under Brooke's umbrella, who was planning the coup, and the Easla Chamber of Commerce, the dark part of it.
Together they should have vanished, but the survival of their constituents was lurking in Barbora, causing them to raise resentment against Fran.
They've hired multiple assassins and targeted Fran.
Well, I killed the assassins instantly, and I caught the constituents. Maybe half a day after they attacked you?
Some of them tried to escape, but they couldn't escape from Ursi's nose.
However, they took the time to hear the circumstances and were feathers to extend their stay for a few days. It must have been bad that when we defeated the assassins, we fought just a little flashy.
After all, we left Barbora less than 10 days after our original plans.
There was a lot going on on on the road, but let's put that away.
We have bigger problems right now.
”Hey, you've come a lot. Fran, Master.”
”Mmm.”
”Long time no see.”
Naturally, when we arrived in Urmut, we were coming to say hello to Diaz, the Alliance Master.
I'm not one of those people I don't know, and Fran is already a Rank B Adventurer. It's not weird to show your face to the Alliance Master. Instead, it must be natural.
But I didn't want to see you face to face this time, if I could. Well, I wasn't expecting you to come to Urmut and avoid Diaz.
”What's wrong with you? You look fantastic. It's not like you.”
”It's about Zero Thread, we need to talk”
”... ho?
Yes, it is. I couldn't have kept Diaz in front of me and hidden about Zero Thread. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.
But for Fran, who took the option of forgiving while meeting Zero Thread, this seems to be bullshit. I didn't give in as hard as I could.
