Five days after I left the imperial capital of the Lunette Empire, I finally saw the city of Arland.
With its kingdom of generates and adjacent territories, Earland was the first city to be occupied in the war.
It crosses the woods and is not directly adjacent, but it is paved the way for the trading of commercial guilds and borders are delimited by customs posts. Besides, there's also a dungeon in the woods.
The inhabitants are a medium-sized city of about 3,000 inhabitants, dominated by trade, dungeons and agricultural graces.
Well, all this knowledge was also taught by Alice...
Exhale softly to mark the end to the life that was crossing the cocktail. I feel extra secure because I've been driving off a well-maintained street.
"You're finally here... Now you can slow down for a little while."
Ask them to descend from the coyote and return to dimensional storage (storage) in an invisible area a little further from the street. Only a limited number of adventurers rode obsidian horses (battlehorses) on boulders, and it soon became apparent that I had come to the city.
Once the empire was occupied by the kingdom of Generation, but my guild master and I plotted well, and the capture of the prince of the kingdom of Generation led to the return of the empires and cities of the Lunette Empire. The information is known to every city, and as an adventurous but suddenly marquised hero, it seems to be sung by the bard... When I heard it from a squire who works for the Mansion, I felt so ashamed that there was a fire coming out of my face.
"Marquis of Xaragi, hero of the Redemption on the Black Horse (Battlehorse)
This name spread all over the Lunette Empire at once. The whole empire boiled with joy, and there were rumors about me everywhere.
If I were on a cocktail, I would definitely be exposed.
I know I'll have to go back to Imperial City someday, but I want you to just let me rest a little.
Alone dressed as an adventurer, he walks down the street to enter the city and heads to the gate.
When I entered, I could just show my guild card and go straight in.
Ask the soldier who was at the gate where the Adventurer Guild is and the recommended accommodation, and walk through the city. The city buildings had war scars everywhere, but reconstruction work had already been carried out and there had never been debris or anything else left.
"You're ahead of me... That one."
There is an Adventurer Alliance sign near the city square, smaller than the Imperial Capital, but it was the same size as the building that was in the city of Fendi in the Kingdom of Salandir, where I first visited and also registered as an Adventurer in this world.
When I opened the door and went inside, it was busy... no - it was full of hustle and bustle.
"Anyone can use healing magic ⁉"
A guild lady at the reception was calling out loud to an adventurer in the hall.
Some of them seemed like healing magicians (Priests), but they all lay neatly on the table.
"What happened...?
I don't know what's going on here. I'm going to the receptionist and I'm going to speak up.
"I'm in this city now, what happened...? Looks like they're looking for a recovery magician."
Placing the guild card on the counter, the receptionist checked the card and opened her eyes wide.
"Restoration Technician (Priest)! Please accompany us to the training ground in the back immediately!
I heard the receptionist's voice. The other receptionist jumped out of the counter and grabbed my arms.
The eyes were running blood, trying to shake them off, but powerful, an unlikely force in a woman.
"Yes, what the hell ⁉ I don't understand at all ⁉"
"Fine, this way. Heh! I'm in a hurry!
He was taken to the back as his arms were pulled by the impatient receptionist.
The place where we proceeded down the hallway and opened the door was a training ground, but what is spreading there are some sheets laid down and the injured adventurers lying there. About thirty people were lying around.
The adventurer in the robe, supposedly a healing magician, was also leaning against the wall from out of magic or leaning over.
"... what is this..."
"I didn't say that, I beg you to recover quickly! You'll be paid by your guild."
"Okay. Use range magic. Gather the seriously wounded first!
In my words, the adventurers who are nursing move in order to prioritize the recovery of adventurers who think they are seriously ill.
Range Advanced Recovery Magic (Area High Heels)
If I was doing magic to every single one of them, I wouldn't have Kiri. One recovery magic after another as I travel on my own.
It seemed like five range recovery magic had made it to everyone.
"Phew, this is it..."
I noticed that the adventurers and guild staff in the scene were blatant.
"... what's up...?
Looking around, everyone's gaze was gathering on me. Plus, surprised faces, enviable faces, etc. It reminds me of the same feeling I had when I accidentally restored the adventurers who had suffered major injuries in the Imperial Guild, making my face stick.
"... nothing wrong with using all that advanced healing magic...?
One of the receptionists called out worryingly.
I still have enough magic left, and I'm not particularly concerned about this much.
"I don't have a problem with this. Better than that, okay? I'm just here to see where the guild is, and I'm going to be in the lodging--"
"Wait a minute. You'll get your reward!
He left the training ground behind, verbally thanking the injured adventurers.
When I returned to the hall, I was reminded, "Never go home," so I sat in an empty chair and asked what was going on around me.
I also don't know why those many injured people came out. It's usually an impossible situation, and I decided to focus on conversations between adventurers nearby to gather information.
"... Nevertheless, that dungeon finally has the potential to flood in earnest. That's all this time..."
"You sure are. If we were in this city, if there was a full-scale flood, we'd be forced to convene. Stay out of the city for a little while..."
"That's a hand, too. The neighboring city will have information."
Listening to the conversation between the two adventurers, it looks like a dungeon in the woods caused a flood. The flood was also an event in the game days.
One demon after another from the dungeon overflows and erodes the map. It was an event where NPCs would die and shops would close if they showed up in the city and left the demons alone.
The event ends when an online member teams up to defeat a demon and attack a dungeon overflowing with demons.
Sounds exactly like the same thing as the event.
I should have come to this city to rest...... why at such a good time......
Makes me want to hold my head by accident. But when I got back to Imperial Capital, I went back. I need to talk to you about the pageant...
With that in mind, I was slapped in the shoulder with a ton.
Looking back, there was the first receptionist to speak up there, standing smiling.
"Master Towya, thank you for earlier. So... it's a reward, but I'd like to give it to you in a private room, so come here."
Unless it is usually a substantial amount of money, such as the reward of the adventurer, it is handed over at the counter.
But being led to a private room means... Maybe they still ask me about the amount of magic.
I can't even talk here, so I nodded honestly and stood up and followed the receptionist.
Keep going up the stairs and in front of the deepest room the receptionist knocked on the door.
"It's Maia. We've brought Master Towya."
When a voice gives permission from inside, the receptionist opens the door and stands beside it.
"Master Towya, come in here"
Once inside, there is one man of the race who works at a desk in the back. I was still looking through the pile of paperwork.
Is he in his late thirties or is he in such a fine physique that he can see his muscles bulging even from the top of his clothes?
"Excuse me. Let me do my job to the good part of Kiri. You can sit there. May I have some tea, please?"
"Okay, Guildmaster"
- Guildmaster said...
I don't have any good memories for the Alliance Master. No, including subguild masters. I've really had it better. But when I was in the city of Fendi, Evrand, the Alliance Master, was given escort duty to cover the royalties in the library for a single piece of copper coin. I got a lot of hands on me when I got out of the city, but some of Ebrand's letters added extra work.
During the recapture of the Empire, he hit a play with the Alliance Master surrogate to capture that prince, but he had both a one- and a two-habit habit. I get really vigilant.
Sit on the sofa, alert but recommended, sipping a sip of the tea served by Maia.
It tasted like nothing I had ever tasted in Imperial City.
"Sorry to keep you waiting... it's Brightle, the guild master in this city. Maia told me about the training ground. Let me thank you on behalf of the guild of this city."
"No, it seemed just right when I happened to show my face... Glad you could help."
Answer the bowing guild master reluctantly.
"Maia, stay back a little. I want to talk to you two alone."
The nodded Maia leaves the room intact.
Brightle's gaze, which dropped Maia off, moved over here.
"Thanks again. Lord Towya. No - should I say His Excellency the Marquis of Xaragi?
- Did you still know...
He was officially allowed to name his surname as a nobleman when he was recited during the recapture of the Empire.
- Marquis Touya von Kisaraghi. Honestly, I don't need a von or anything that is proof of nobility, but this was something I had no choice about.
"Do you know me...?
"Of course that is." The Alliance Master will not be able to act without knowing Lord Kisaragi, who is said to be the hero of the Redemption. "
Brightle drinks tea with a cook and a laugh.
Honestly, I didn't come to this city to be treated like an aristocrat. I'm here to make a simple request and take my time.
"Is there anyone else in this city who knows about me? You may leave this city in some cases."
"That's okay. All I know is that I received a letter from the Imperial Alliance Master. Look, you know. That's him."
"Then can I ask you to treat my position as an adventurer? Because I only came to this city as a rest."
Brightle, just a little bothered by my words, grinned and nodded.
"Okay. Kisaragi - No, let me call you Lord Towya. Is that all right?
"Oh, that's okay. I'm not going to use disrespect."
"That would help. Thank you. I'm not good with nobles. And the new lord who replaced him…"
Brightle stopped the words with a bitter smile.
Maybe he's another troublesome lord. Speaking of which, you said Alice replaced the young lord.
I'm not going to say a particular hello because I'm going to spend some time as an adventurer, and I won't have to worry about it.
"Oh, speaking of which, that's a reward. See, this is it."
Once back at his desk, Brightle brought a sachet and placed it on the table. When I checked inside, it contained twenty pieces of silver coin.
As for less than ten minutes of healing magic, it is broken, but it is decided that it will be difficult.
"Maia told me you're a pretty good healing magician (Priest). And no matter how many times you say advanced magic, you don't lose it."
"For once, there are quite a few levels."
The level specified on the guild card is 47. However, this figure will be at the senior level. The status of senior positions, albeit magical, is significantly higher than that of primary positions.
"That would be appreciated. Honestly, I think you'd understand the current situation if you were in the hall downstairs. The nearby dungeon is small but flooded. I managed to stop it this time thanks to everyone but its in that state...... It's not strange whenever there's a full-scale flood. It would be helpful if you could help me."
Sure, if it was in a state like that field hospital with a small flood, the ahead would be considerate. You can't abandon me just because I'm here to rest.
I had no choice, I sighed.
"Okay. We'll cooperate as much as we can."
"That's all we're talking about. Let's arrange for the innkeeper. If you'll wait in the hall, I'll let someone guide you."
Brightle and I shook hands and left the room.
