Episode 1133. Fabian
pouted his lips at Viscount Elio Lagoa’s words.
“Are you saying we should wait a month for just that? Didn’t you kill the monsters and monsters well, whether they were smart or not?”
“Where do you compare? It’s like getting on a good road and then crashing into a golem. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a golem that follows a wild beast?”
“At times like this, the Viscount seems to have a really soft heart, unlike what he looks like?”
“Do I look ugly?”
“He has a decent appearance… but he is violent in everything. Didn’t the demons also growl when they saw the viscount?”
“That was intentional. It’s because the demons can’t keep their eyes on Hirhera.”
“There aren’t many people who can do that intentionally or whatever. Have you seen the article about amputating limbs for making eye contact?”
“When you go to that country, I told you to follow the laws of that country. Mokubas was originally such a place, so I acted too radically. I’m a soft person by nature.”
Count Larva Omar, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked Fabian.
“Are you talking about that Mokubas in Tamion?”
“yes.”
“Did Sir Elio Lagoa fight against the demons there?”
Then Fabian shook his head excitedly.
“A fight? no. If you just make eye contact, he runs and cuts the knife. Later on, when the demons run into the viscount, they’ll urinate.”
“her! Great.”
Count Larva Omar looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with respect.
How could the demon tribe, who regarded humans as less than livestock, fear Viscount Elio Lagoa so much! As a human being, it was a sound that put strength on your shoulders.
“Viscount. just grab it? Why are you idling away for a month? From what I see, I think you’re going to visit the Taboola Magic Tower anyway, right? Wouldn’t it be quicker to know more information?”
“is it?”
Elio, who had thin ears, was shaken by Fabian’s words.
Come to think of it, Fabian was right.
No matter what kind of information you get from other tower owners, you need information from the Tabula Tower.
Now, he says he refuses out of a sense of rejection for being a beast as intelligent as a human, but he will eventually visit the Tabula Mage Tower.
‘I can’t wait a month blankly.’
There is nothing to worry about when you think of the family waiting for you in your hometown.
“I don’t know. let’s go catch Since when did I think of you as a beast?”
“Good idea. The beast dies one way or another, but it’s all one thing. There are many beasts that are used for food, but Goliath is a big deal!”
Count Larva Omar also said a word.
“I will help too.”
The three of them got up immediately and left Fermosa Estella.
***
Petropolis North District.
Norte Mercenary Guild Office.
Elio and the others went to the mercenary guild office asking questions from the people on the street.
However, even though it was still early evening, the door of the Mercenary Guild office was firmly closed.
A man passing by said as Fabian knocked on the door.
“They close at 6:00. You’d better come back in the morning.”
Fabian approached Elio with a shy face.
“What kind of office is closed in the early evening? Where shall we go now?”
“Where are you going? I should go to Fermosa Estella and sleep.”
“Aren’t you having a drink?”
“They sell alcohol at Fermosa Estella too.”
“Because I don’t drink alcohol at home…”
“That’s nonsense. Was water the drink you drank in the barracks when you were a company commander?”
“Isn’t that my house?”
“If you keep talking nonsense, are you really not allowed to drink at Estella, Fermosa?”
“Oops! It was just something I said for a laugh. But the Bardos concert should have been over by now… I don’t know if it tastes like alcohol.”
“Anyway, when we came out, the male Bardos sang. Do you want to drink while listening to the songs of the male Bardos?”
“No. Better to be quiet. But who pays for the drink…?”
Elio said before the Count stepped forward.
“I buy alcohol today. Count, I will live. It was because of me that you made a fuss.”
“no. I will be responsible for the expenses of the system until the end. If you want to go to the Great Forest, don’t spend money on the islands.”
“Oh, what’s that?”
Despite making a fuss, Elio did not decline.
It’s because you don’t know how much the Abyss investigation will cost.
He was thinking of selling the territory if he was in a hurry, but that was really the last option.
***
Next day.
As soon as Elio and his party finished breakfast, they headed to the Norte Mercenary Guild.
Fortunately, unlike the previous evening, the door to the mercenary guild was wide open.
Since it was summer, the door was left open and locked.
Fabian took the lead and entered the mercenary guild.
Even though it was early, no one was seen inside.
The innermost part is fenced off on the left and right sides, leaving only the central part 3 meters wide.
A waist-high screen was erected in the center of the 3-meter-wide space, and a middle-aged man was sitting inside.
A middle-aged man with greasiness running down his face looked at the three men with crooked eyes.
“Where are the lazy birds flying in groups? All useful work was done an hour ago. All that’s left is dangerous things… Come when you’re determined to do it, rather than starve to death. Or come back early tomorrow.”
At least there was an elderly man in the party, so he wore a lower body, but if only the young people had come, he would have scolded them in a half-spoken language.
Fabian stepped in front of the middle-aged man.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud of Anatolia. Are you in charge of this place?”
Jillian, a middle-aged man, said with a forced smile.
“Anatolia? Now I see that he was a noble from the north. Did you come to get an escort?”
“I came to get information, not escort. Before that, are you in charge of this place?”
“Similar. I am the secretary here.”
“Then the story will work. I want to know Draco’s habitat.”
“Draco? Are you talking about dragon species?”
“right. Are you as intelligent as a human? We are looking for that Draco.”
Jillian looked up at the baron with ambiguous eyes.
He had information about Draco while handling the request of the Tabula Mage Tower.
The problem is why this northern baron is looking for it.
‘Have you made a request to another place in the Tabula Tower?’
If it was like that, I couldn’t give you the information.
He decided to start the background investigation after sending the other person back.
“Why are you looking for Draco’s habitat?”
“I don’t know that, tell me the place.”
“As you may know, rare species like Draco are protected by the Empire. So, for those who do not have permission to catch it… I’m sorry, but I can’t provide any information.”
“Capture permission? Where can I get that?”
“You should go to the government office.”
Fabian turned to Elio with a confused face and said.
“Is that so?”
As Elio frowned, Count Larva Omar stepped forward.
“Did you say secretary? What is your name?”
“This is Jillian.”
“Yes, Jillian. I’ll have to tell you straight from now on. As far as I know, Draco is not a rare species, but a superlative beast. Superb beasts are subject to subjugation, not protection. Do we still need a capture permit?”
At that moment, Jillian jumped up from her seat with a puzzled face.
“ah! Wasn’t the Draco a rare species? make this mistake. sorry. I was mistaken when I said that intelligence is as good as humans. If so, you don’t even need a capture permit.”
“Whoops! I knew it. Now tell me where Draco is.”
“As you may know, our mercenary guild also receives a fee for providing information.”
“Of course you know. Because I also used the mercenary guild in Central District of Petropolis. So how much is it?”
Count Larva Omar stared intently at Jillian.
Jillian lowered her eyes at the expression in her eyes that she would not forgive her if she said nonsense.
“The beast’s intelligence fee is 10 silver. I will call this amount anywhere in the island.”
Count Larva Omar took out 10 silver coins from his purse and set them down on the table.
Then Jillian swept the money and said.
“The Draco habitat close to here is Valdovento. It’s just a day’s ride along the West Boulevard on horseback.”
Count Larva Omar, who nodded and turned around, suddenly stopped.
“Did you say Jillian? There’s a better place than Valdovento, and I’ll give you an arm if you haven’t taught me. Is there anything else we need to know?”
At the frightening threat, Jillian drools, ‘gulp!’ He swallowed and shook his head excitedly.
“Although Valdovento is rough, it is the best habitat. Our mercenaries… oh what am I saying now… I can swear.”
He was about to say, ‘Our mercenaries also caught Draco there,’ but quickly turned away.
***
Elio’s party immediately ran along the western road according to the information obtained from the Mercenary Guild Office.
I ran until noon, but I couldn’t get out of the system.
The three of them stopped in front of a restaurant on the street for lunch.
Fabian, who was tying the reins to the stake, said with a tired face.
“Wow! I had no idea the system was this big. How can I not finish running for half a day?”
Elio also shook his head as if agreeing.
“I know. But thanks to you, you can eat in a restaurant this big. think on the good side If you go out to the outskirts, you have to eat something.”
Eventually, the three of them entered the restaurant and took a seat.
Count Larva Omar glanced out the window and said with a nonchalant face.
“Looks like you’ve been tailed.”
“Are you sorry?”
Elio narrowed his eyes with an absurd face.
It was the first time he had been followed through the heavens of kings in Gangho until now.
As an adventurer, Fabian, a beginner, pretended to be an expert.
“The mercenary guild must have attached someone. There seem to be a lot of people targeting Draco.”
You interrupted by lying that it was a rare species, and now you even follow it?
There was no doubt that the mercenary guild was interested.
I ordered from the clerk and waited, but two young men who looked like travelers came inside.
Count Larva Omar whispered.
“It is them.”
The two sat at a distance from Elio and the others.
After a while, when the ordered dish came out, Elio and the others silently immersed themselves in the meal.
As his stomach filled up, Elio showed interest in the young men.
Milton, who was eagerly eating, turned his head at a strange feeling.
For a brief moment, Milton’s and Elio’s gazes intertwined in midair.
Milton tried to turn his face away, but Elio was quick.
Elio flicked his hand as if telling the young man to come closer.
Milton looked left and right, saw no other customers in sight, reluctantly got up from his seat and approached the young man – who looked several years older than himself.
“What are you doing…”
“I heard the older brothers are following us?”
“Unfortunate? no. What a hideous word. It seems that the direction was similar, but we are not really that kind of people.”
“Or not. But from now on, don’t you get my eyes on you? If we meet again, won’t it end with words? Understand?”
“Yes yes. Don’t worry. I don’t know where you’re going, but I won’t run into you.”
Milton let go of his pride and bowed down to his waist to reassure his opponent.
