(part 1)
"Uuh, why do carriage have to shake so much... "
Amalie groans inside the carriage.
It"s already two weeks since they’d been on this carriage, and even now she still didn’t get used with her car sickness.
"Come on... I"ll use healing magic on you, come here"
"Uuuuh… I"m sorry, I kept bothering you like this..."
Even when her face become red, she still come to Isagi"s side.
What a polite girl.
"But, come to think again, Issan, you are acquaintances with my father, right?"
Franz who sat right in front of Isagi, put his hand on his chin as he tilted his head on the side.
"Even though you"re so young, why? As long as I know about it, father should have always on journey"
"Umm..."
Isagi become confused on how to answer that question, and before he could answered Amalia cutted in and said.
"He is a technique user after all, surely he have been put his aging in check… Use your head properly, Frantz..."
"Aah, is that so.Amazing eh, Issan. How enviable!"
"In the first place, there"s no way he is as strong and calm as that if he is on the same age as me, right..."
"Hahaha"
Isagi didn’t able to comment anything and just raised a dry laugh.
‘Heh’. Isagi though, ‘So I looked that old, huh.’
Frantz clapped his hand.
"Then, probably it"s better to call you uncle Isa from now on, right?"
"Please, no!"
Reflexively Isagi raised his voice.
As they pa.s.sed their time like this, the carriage finally arrived to the next city.
From tomorrow, they would go directly toward the Great forest Mistral.
It"ll be three day straight journey.
Because this would become a long journey, that means they also need a proper preparation.
The city that was built in adjoined land between Great forest Mistral and Beriad dukedom city; Rearday.
It"s a beautiful water city that"s interpose two large river.
In this city which categorized as one of the largest city on the country in the west, Isagi and the sibling would prepare for their journey.
"Hmm ~ hmm ~ hmm ~"
Frantz humming beside Isagi.
Isagi though, ‘Why did he follow me?’
"I just want to visit adventurer guild, It"ll be nothing interesting, you know?"
"It"s okay, it"s okay.Sometime, I also wanted to have a conversation with other people than my sister!"
"Mmm, Hmm?"
Frantz was still a kid. He walked while cling closely to Isagi.
The sword that hang on his waist, was a broad sword that"s not really fit for someone his age.
"Big bro, what do you want to do at adventurer guild? Ah, are you perhaps plan to register as an adventurer? If that so, then how about join our party?"
"No, I just want to check my request on missing person"
"Aah, you"re the one who putting the request, huh. Eh, are you perhaps planning to do it on the entire guild in the continent?”
"Well, yeah. It will be quite expensive though"
"Hah, then the problem is the thing after this, right?"
A smirk floated on Frantz face.
Isagi, too, somehow know why he made such expression.
Finally they arrived to the guild, Isagi quickly went and talked to the receptionist girl on the counter.
"Umm, Issama… Let me confirm your request, is it ‘The investigation on, The great wizard, Plea’ Right?"
"Yeah"
"From the entire guild, there are 482 information arrived"
"Seriously..."
Unconsciously he groan so.
"By the way, about the credibility?"
"It"ll have to be done by the client himself"
"Thought so~"
Isagi was at his wit"s end knowing that.
It wouldn’t cost much to post a quest on investigation, but to read the information that arrived, the client will have to add another payment.
The client have to look it by themselves which one is the truth, which one is not, by breaking the information paper’s seal, that each paper will cost a certain fees.
It"s quite impossible for Isagi.
He looked at the list that was given to him.
The adventurer"s rank that give the information ranged from G to C, it"s really various.
Since it"s related to their credibility, the one who have higher rank tend to have the less chance to hit a bad information, but in exchange, the price will be higher.
For now, Isagi decided to choose three of the information that was given to him randomly.
He opened the paper that was given to him.
The first information, was from G ranked Adventurer.
The content was about the rumour that Plea, the wizard, was worshiped as a G.o.ddess in the Edela Holy county"s G.o.ddess Spire, even to this moment.
(she, a G.o.ddess...? No, it"s impossible)
Isagi slowly shakes his head.
He then opened the next letter.
The next information come from F-rank adventurer.
Today, Plea had died.
There was a rumour that someone saw her appearance inside the underground dungeon, "Ratatosk", in the Great forest Mistral.
( She"s not someone who will die even if killed, you know… Even a dungeon will be blown into smithen, if it was her)
Just like her nickname, The Wizard (The greatest magician), Plea could easily destroy anything with her magic.
There wasn’t any obstacle that could stood in her way.
For the last one, Isagi decided to splurge a little bit, and choose the information from C cla.s.s adventurer.
Since he had able to attain quite sum of money, he had quite high hope for this one, but...
‘Actually, the woman who called as the daughter of demon emperor, Dyutyu, is Plea who become despaired over human race. She felt that her brave, Isagi, were killed by Human Race and so she decided to revolt against them.‘
In that letter, written in poetic word full of pa.s.sion, long and long.
Isagi got greatly perplexed.
(If that was the truth, I"m really glad, seriously...... Dammit, this d.a.m.n person doing such useless job... )
While cursing some unknown person, Isagi crushed the paper.
If it"s like this, the result will stay the same no matter how many times he post the request.
Perhaps it"s better if he requested for more detailed information in the future.
He asked to the receptionist.
"Umm, Maam.For example, if I request for a sort of simple cla.s.sification before I open the letter, such as ‘Please describe the feature and the outward appearance’, is it alright?"
"Ah, yes. It’s perfectly fine"
"Is that so… Then, can I ask for that"- Isagi
"Alright, renewing the request information, right? There will be additional fees for that, is it alright with you?"
" It"s fine"
" Alright then"
The receptionist girl smiled.
Plea is a name that"s well known in the whole world. Isagi didn"t know how much this will be effective, though.
The money that he received from Dyutyu, decreases even more.
Though, he still had quite lot since he didn"t waste any his money on anything unimportant...
On the way back, Isagi took a glance at the bulletin board.
The quest that pasted on that board,as he thought, a lot of them were for low ranked adventurer.
There were only little high ranked quest, as the board mostly consist of the quest for Adventurer Ranked from G to F.
As for the subjugation quest for Rank A to S, at most there were only around ten quest...
Looked at those, Isagi surprised.
Not only Dyutyu and Shibernia, there"re were lot new name from the demon race army that pasted on the board.
> S-cla.s.s subjugation object.
> Renzou
> Due to his cruelty at Commercial city Relix, the town turned into ashes.
Not only Knight and adventurer, he even murderer a lot of normal civilians.
Using a magic sword that he stole from Adventurer, PleKyurzer.
Known for his unimpeachable swormanship and black magic, but the most fearsome was his stamina and cruelty.
And then another one.
> Cla.s.s subjugation object.
> Demon Lord Yoshin.o.bu.
> The new demon lord that come from demon capital, Brotherhouse.
His battle power still unknown.
But, you should never let your guard down.
