Chapter 271 - Infamous Guild (1/2)

All Martha could do was wait patiently for Lenny to come back to the two of them and let them know if he had found anything. She was getting restless as the days went by and there was still no news of finding a suitable beast.

The three of them stayed at an Inn with three bedrooms and paid for it month by month. Martha had long gotten used to going to the bathroom to get changed, due to her experience at the academy.

They had no clue how long Ray would be in Roland and at the same time, it was better and cheaper, to pay monthly rather than paying day by the day.

But watching the days go by, Martha had a thought. Lenny would often leave them two in the morning and go out on his own, the thing was Lenny would even do this before deciding to help Martha.

Inside the room, Martha and Jack were just sorting out their gear for their quest that they would go on today. With nothing to do, they often chose a random quest to complete. Martha used to be an F rank adventurer but managed to rank up quickly and was now a Rank D with Jack.

Most of the quests involved hunting beats, escorting merchants and Nobles and finally going to nearby towns and villages to sort out problems, usually involving beasts. There were higher difficulty quests as well since Roland was a big city but while waiting for Lenny, they decided to just do the easy stuff.

”Hey Jack, what do you think of Lenny?” Martha asked.

”What do you mean?” Jack said as he swung his great sword, a daily routine for him.

”Well you and Ray have been with him a lot longer than I have, and he's not part of the Red wings, so I guess what I'm asking is, if you trust him?” Martha seemed to be having doubts over the whole thing, she was practically putting all her hopes in a crazy author.

”I think we can trust him,” Jack replied, ”Although he is not part of the Red wings our enemy is the same. When he talks about the shadow, I can really feel his anger.”

With Jack's answer, Martha started to feel a little better, before heading off to their escort Job for the Day, Martha wanted to send Slyvia an update. So far she had been giving a daily report on how they were doing via the system and Sylvia and the others were doing the same.

”Huh?” Martha then tried sending a message again, then tried sending it to a different person but she would get the same result.

”Hey try to send a message, something is going on,” Martha said panicked.

Jack tried sending a message to Martha and the same error message had appeared.

”Do you think something happened to Ray?” Martha asked.

”Maybe but I wouldn't worry about it too much, this has happened once before,” Jack said thinking about the time when he was stuck underneath Avrion.

”Is there a reason?”

”I'm really not sure, last time it had happened Ray was separated from us, though when we found him, he looked fine so I don't have a clue why the system does this from time to time,” Jack said.

Martha had a huge frown on her face as she was deep in thought, ever since Monk had left she had been worried about everything and looked into things deeper than most people usually would.
