Restoration work had begun again in the port of Gaddis, which had suffered devastating damage from the Great Wave.
The sea had been rough since that great lighthouse collapsed, and those lizards were about to show up, fleeing demons and sunken temples that I had not seen from time to time. As a result, the site of the restoration work was now guarded by the defensemen and adventurers for the safety of the workers.
Cece and the others [breath of the white dragon] were similarly protected, but today the sea was calm and the small waves were just repeating themselves as if nothing had happened.
"In the end... we couldn't do anything"
All members of [White Dragon's Breath] nodded at the words of Cece staring at the sea and the emotions engulfed in it.
"In the end, you were just flirting with being an ancient dragon or a demon. The only one who was up against it was Redo."
"Right... I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."
Reede is depressed by Irene's words.
"Reede. You've decided not to talk about it anymore, haven't you? You're not bad, and we did everything we could. That would be nice."
"Right...... thanks Ellios"
"Yeah. But there's only one thing that bothers me. I know what the Demons are after... but I wonder what Zod wanted after all."
No one could answer Cece's words.
"... I think he wanted Aldbeg back. He seemed to have a cooperative relationship with the Demons as well... sorry I have vague memories too. It's just..." Let's do what we have to do "... he used this phrase over and over again."
"I don't know... what to do... But I'm pretty sure we were human enemies."
"Right. You deserve to die, you geezer."
"... Mr. Cece. Do me a favor."
Perhaps Reede turned her body toward Cece. The golden eyes had a color of determination.
"Hmm? What's going on, Reede?
"Yes... just a little... I wanted to take a vacation"
Irene and Elios gave the words a surprised look.
But Cece just smiled.
That's the look Cece didn't have when she just came out of the country.
"Yeah. Sure. But just for a reason, if that's all right with you, why don't you let me ask?
"Yes. Once back home, I think I'll go home. I have been banished from the Siris Festival country, but perhaps if you show me this sickle and tell me what's going on... I think you'll be okay."
That being said, Reede rocked Zod's sickle a bit, which he uses instead of the lost sickle.
"Oh well. We have to settle things."
"... thank you, Mr. Cece. I'll be back when that's done, of course. Now it's right."
"Haha, yeah. Reede's fine now. Yeah, well, why don't you and Irene take a vacation, too?
That's what Cece suggested to Irene and Elios, who were relieved.
"Ah. Speaking of which, you haven't been home in a while."
"Oh. Maybe... I'm worried sick to death."
"I can't go home because I'm on a journey... I'm an overprotective parent..."
"You just have to go back to Bail and slow down. Hey, we've been up a lot lately, and we're all tired."
"Right... I guess I'll do that. I just want to make sure."
I stared at the pattern of [Amarda's Lack Moon] held by Irene in my hand. Ever since Gerthardt's power was temporarily used, the color of the gems that fit into the pattern has changed from green to amber.
"So, what will Mr. Cece do?
"Uh, yeah. I think I'll take that story. I have a lot to think about."
"Isn't that good?
"Oh. I agree."
"When that happens, after vacation...... in King (...) Capital (...) is (...) Collection (...) Join (...)?
"Yeah, we're not just an adventurer party anymore."
Irene blurs in response to Cece's words.
"I didn't expect this to happen. I never imagined it months ago."
Irene stared at her guild card and sighed.
Guild cards are basically the same at every rank...... they look a little different after A-rank.
The A-rank had a light elegant gold color and the S-rank had a black and simple look to the contrary. By the way, Redo hated it and deliberately made it look the same as a regular ranked guild card. He said he didn't like it because he seemed to be bragging, so that's it.
Cece and his guild cards were golden.
"Master, what will you do?"
Cece somehow turned her gaze toward the Adventurer Alliance.
"... tired. I don't want to work anymore."
"Hey, Branch Manager. Hold on tight."
Adventurer Guildgadis Branch, Branch Manager's Office.
He had the look on his face like Redo had been stunned while smoking in front of Diaz, who was dazed on the couch. Diaz hasn't been home in days, wrinkles were made on the shirt he was wearing, and neighborhoods were made under his eyes.
"How many papers and reports do you think they wrote? Kayla, the Adventurer's Guild headquarters, and even the Dylanzar Council are now sending information about the incident, twitching like a baby with eclampsia."
"... Woe to you. But I'm pretty sure I wrote most of those reports."
"... Speaking of which, I was"
"Hey."
Since the collapse of the Great Lighthouse, Redo and Diaz had been pursued for post-processing. Fortunately, thanks to the defensemen and adventurers who were waiting on the ground, the coastal area had been evacuated and there had been almost no human damage, but the collapse of the port as a commercial city was a devastating blow.
The impact was enormous for commerce, fisheries and tourism, as was Kayla's upper-level rush.
"Either way... Ougadar broke completely and sank into the sea. The demons are dead, and the ancient dragons have disappeared somewhere. You'll do great."
"I appreciate it, Redo."
"... that's disgusting"
"I mean it. All this time, I left it to you. So this time, you're in full control."
"... I have no choice. I can't move. I know what's going on over there. I'm not convinced. But... it's too much."
On the truth of this incident, the Adventurer Guild and Kayla upper management, after many discussions, announced that it was the work of the demons and the ancient dragons, although they would not touch on Ougadar.
And it was largely announced that it was thanks to Redo, an S-rank adventurer, and the Adventurer Party [White Dragon's Breath] that minimized the damage caused, while at the same time elevating the Seths to A-rank. For this reason, Lore and Jorne were treated as convoluted ordinary people. They say that's good for them.
As a result, Cece and the others were able to crusade Zod, the serial killer and bounty neck of the Siris Festival nation who were working with it. In an unprecedented fashion, no one complained about A-rank promotion.
On the surface, but...
And Redo, who received all sorts of rewards from Kayla's upper management, was disgusted with it, but he thought it was a natural reward.
"This is happening as soon as I left for the city, and my position is becoming rather suspicious."
"As it turns out, I think it's handled critically. I'm sure Mirazelle would agree."
Redo laughed bitterly at the thought of Mirazelle, who would be at the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild in King's Capital.
"I don't like that extra..."
"I guess."
"Oh, so I remembered. I have a letter from Mirazelle addressed to Ledo."
"... burn me"
"Then I'll burn physically"
That said, Diaz handed the round letter to Ledo.
"I only have a bad feeling... [Unlock (Unlock)]"
Open the letter with witchcraft, and Redo glances quickly through it.
"I see... well, it's unfolding as expected."
With that said, Redo handed the letter to Diaz. Diaz took a deep sigh reading it.
"... disagree as far as I'm concerned... no... according to my account... do you prefer this one..."
"What does that mean? Here."
"... it happened recently. Thanks, Redo, you're involved..."
"I don't know... you don't, do you?
"Don't cloud the words. Words. So, what are we gonna do? Are you gonna take it?
"... sort of. To tell you the truth, I'd like to say no... I have a few concerns"
That's what Redo said, smoked, and spit smoke.
Mirazel's letter was, in short, a (...) wish (...) yes (...) as Adventurer Alliance headquarters.
In the wake of this incident, Redo's ratings soared at HQ, and as a result... he wanted to invite him to Wang Capital as an adventurer and lecturer at HQ.
As for Ledo, I'm sorry, but as Ledo, there were several reasons why I had to go to the King's Capital.
"You mean Cece, right? You're overprotective... but you should probably do that"
"Because Cece has been chosen by [Blood Alliance (Sangres)] as a positive (...) formula (...) brave (...) person (...) weather (...) auxiliary (...). If you go to King's Capital, where there are only poisonous bugs in the Viper, it's more obvious what happens when you see fire"
"Along with that, it seems Lord Eisen of [Dragon College] is up to something. Redo, you should go with me."
"... well, I'm not going to give it to you directly, but if it's too much attention... I'll let you fight with the connections I got this time"
Because Cece was chosen as a candidate for the brave, he was summoned to the king's capital. He will be working as an adventurer in the King's Capital for a while.
That's never a bad thing in itself, and Redo was going to advise me that in any case. The size is too different between Wang Du and this city. So the quality of the request that comes in is completely different. If you want to be stronger and more powerful as an adventurer, King's Capital is an inevitable place to go.
At the same time, however, there are more malicious and hostile beings that are not comparable to Gaddis. Especially if you're a brave candidate, you'll get all sorts of hands from all sides. Some of them are poisoning.
It's not that Redo doesn't recognize the stronger sheaths, but he knew that whether or not he could handle such a thing would require a different ability from strength. And to find out about it, Cece and the others were still young and inexperienced.
"To put it this way, I might be arrogant... but those guys still need that kind of back support"
"Right. Hmm, isn't that what you're best at? I used to protect Sain in the king's capital like in that pot of poison."
"The packing is sweet around the back of the result, I... Well, that's not the only reason I have to go to the king's capital."
Redo placed a silver-thinking mobile device on his desk that he removed from his hip pouch.
"Is this the example?"
"Oh. I keep it from Jorne. We have to start analyzing this as soon as possible, and we can't leave it to other humans"
Ledo told me, "Even if I have it, it's a problem… but I want you to let me know when you know what's in it," and I left the device. The contents are data from the ruins of the Old World that the Demons also wanted. Redo didn't want to imagine what that would do to the world in the future.
"When it comes to analyzing old world-class artifacts... it won't be possible without a research facility in the basement of [Dragon College]"
I took my eyes off the device just because Diaz didn't even want to see it.
"Oh. Then I still have to get [Dragon College] to do it, but that's Lord Eisen's lap over there. Now what is it..."
"Don't blur, Redo. Anyway, you already have an idea, don't you?
"Sort of. I don't really feel comfortable... Actually, I already got an invitation from the other side. You should assume that you know the device."
As Redo poured the device again, he pressed the smoked cigarette into the ashtray.
"Oh... what kind of invitation?
"... to lecture at [Dragon College] as a seconded lecturer from the Adventurer Alliance."
"I see. It'll be just the right cover."
"If there's no intention behind it, then so be it. What are you up to..."
"Redo, your ratings as an adventurer and, at the same time, as an instructor are rising more than you think. There's a line that says," I want you to be a lecturer. "
"Oh man, the ancient dragon told me too. He said the instructor was better suited."
"It's an old dragon tattoo. All you have to do is stretch your chest and lecture."
Ledo nodded reluctantly at Diaz's words.
Thus, Redo and Cece will move their bases of activity to the kingdom of Dylanzar and to the king's capital Dizzar.
Ledo was to serve as a seconded lecturer at the world's acclaimed educational institution [Dragon College].
Cece was chosen as a brave candidate in the contrived swirling king's capital.
The curtain of each story was about to rise again.
