Chapter 216 Casual Talk on the Vanished Tomorrow "Martha Chapter" Part Two
Reading Settings
The capital of the Kingdom of Kylorans.
On the historic stone-paved road, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove by, making a series of sounds.
What appeared before them were rows of earthen and stone houses, very similar in style to the city of Buryani. The only difference was that, in addition to humans, there were also some elves and dwarves living here, each representing a different profession in the city.
"It's all in the past, Marta... cheer up."
Seeing such a street scene reminds Marta of her past experiences, and how much she longed for human life back then.
In short... I felt both confused and bitter.
It's like some kind of random, irregular stroke, haphazardly kneaded together, making it incomprehensible and inexplicable.
"Human?"
Since Marta was rescued by the Seglades, she has begun to understand that her parents' interpretation of humanity was not without reason.
While they weren't exactly evil, they weren't exactly good either. In short, in her eyes, they were just a group of selfish creatures, apart from the Seg family.
"Stop overthinking it, Marta! The most important thing right now is to find Leon!"
This wasn't her first trip to the capital. During her adventures with Pro, she had undertaken a couple of missions around the capital.
Looking at the street scene that seemed so close yet so far, Marta slowly put on her hat. It was a magic hat, its tall top enough to conceal her elven features. Even in the city where the elves lived, she didn't want to reveal her elven identity on her own.
If you keep walking along this stone-paved road, you will see the square. Unlike the scene on the street, this place is more bustling, and there are more and more pedestrians coming and going.
But most of them were still children, jumping around and shouting, which Leon, who was the same age as her, did not have.
In short, the scene was somewhat unpleasant to Marta. She wasn't sure if it was because she disliked the noisy environment or because she was annoyed by the children.
After pulling her hat brim down, she quickly made her way through the crowd, being careful not to bump into the children playing around, and went straight to the Adventurers' Guild.
As for the location of the Adventurers' Guild in the Royal Capital, Martha had already inquired about it from the innkeeper. The innkeeper was an old man with a long beard. Although he looked to be over fifty, his hair was not gray, and he gave her a fairly good impression. He seemed to be a kind-hearted person.
The architectural style of the Royal Capital Adventurers' Guild was almost identical to what Martha had seen before, the only difference being its size.
The Adventurers' Guild in front of us is located in the "Royal Capital of Kylorans", so even its prominent guild logo is much larger, which saves us the trouble of searching around.
"Will Leon... be in the guild?"
Marta was very uncertain, after all, she hadn't received any letters from Leon since they parted ways in "Bureni City", but judging from the constant requests she took on, he really needed magic crystals.
For Leon, the best job to earn magic crystals is the guild; other places probably wouldn't hire child laborers.
With that thought in mind, I nervously pushed open the guild door.
Waaahhhhhh
The main door is a double door, and pushing it inward produces an unpleasant wailing sound, like some kind of ancient antique.
"Hey! Are you kidding me? We were members of an S-class team before, and you're not giving us any information at all?"
"I'm sorry... because Lord Seger forcibly accepted a D-rank quest, and... he didn't even return the carriage included in the quest. Therefore, his adventurer status has been completely revoked, and..."
"Damn Seglade, still the same half-baked guy! Is there any way to find out any information about Collins Town?"
“This… anyone who is a member of the ‘Lord of the Harem’ squad…”
"Don't be so rigid! We just want to find out the details of the Collins Town disaster! It's not like..."
"I'm sorry... this..."
"Damn it! You won't say a word! Believe me or not, I'll burn you to the ground..."
"Icarus, don't do this... Let's think of another way..."
As soon as the door was pushed open, a noisy argument came from inside. Since the scattered members of the guild were all focused on the counter with the intention of watching the show, no one paid attention to the fact that the guild door had been pushed open and a strange figure had appeared.
"What happened?"
Although she didn't understand the reason, this was the first time Martha had encountered a conflict with guild members.
"Hmph! Airo! Let's go! Fine, we won't talk then. Finding someone is a piece of cake for us!"
Hearing the name "Ero," Marta felt it sounded very familiar, but she didn't think too much about it at the moment, since obtaining information about Leon was the most important thing.
It wasn't until the two people who had clashed with the guild members at the front desk turned around that Martha realized they overlapped with someone from her memory—a member of the adventure party she had once shared with Seglade.
Airo and Icarus.
