"Raven Creek, do you know that every once in a while there is a mysterious rumor among adventurers?"

"This must be a so-called rumor, right?"

Adventurers here will tell the newcomers stories in their spare time, and there will be some terrifying legends in them, but the newcomers will not know about them, so a new rumor will be quietly generated.

However, rumors are not static, and every once in a while a new rumor is generated, but almost all rumors are false, so I have no interest in learning about them.

"yes, do you know the rumors about Flame and Frost?"

"About Flame and Frost?"

Hearing Sirleaf's words, I subconsciously thought it was someone else with the same name, but Sirleaf looked up the stairs leading to the second floor, and it seemed that it was indeed about Flame and Frost.

"yes, don't you know about this rumor? In the last few days, it has been a very famous existence among adventurers. ”

Sirleaf ...... It's not like you don't know that Senna and I have been busy going to the second basement floor to destroy monsters these days, and I'm not interested in learning about such meaningless rumors......"

"It's not meaningless - this rumor is more realistic and convincing, which has caused many adventurers to believe it, and has caused many people to panic now."

"But as far as I know, Sirleaf isn't one who cares about such things, does he? So what exactly are you trying to say. ”

I stared at Sirleaf's dark pink eyes, trying to steal what I wanted to know, but unfortunately, I didn't have the ability to read minds, so I had to let Sirleaf speak for me.

"Actually, Miss Jasmine from the guild asked me."

Seeing that I was so serious, Sirleaf's serious atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and he turned to a helpless tone.

"Huh? Sister Jasmine, please? ”

"Yes, it's said that this rumor has greatly affected the lives of the people in the town, so please let me help deal with it."

"So?"

With a sly smile, Sirleaf leaned over to me, hooking his hand around my shoulder.

"So, I want you to check it for me......"

"Sirleaf, you don't know......"

"I know you don't have much to do with other adventurers, but you seem to have a good relationship with Flame and Frost, so maybe you'll get the answer by asking her?"

I'm not as wary of Flame and Frost as I was at the beginning, but I'm going to have to talk to her directly...... It's just impossible!

"Half of the reward will be given to you after the deed is done!"

Before I could say no, Sirleaf held out five fingers at me and said the chips I couldn't possibly refuse.

"Deal, now let's talk about the reason for the matter."

"Passing by...... That's a little troublesome. ”

"If I don't know the reason for this, I don't know where to start, I don't know anything about this kind of thing."

Sirleaf looked troubled, but decided to tell me what had happened.

Taking a deep breath, Sirleaf organized the language in his head.

"I don't know much, but I know that Flame and Frost now have an extra nickname - Bloodthirsty Bloodthirsty, and the origin of this nickname is because of a strange legend of hers.

Rumors say that she has a domineering aura, just looking at others will make people feel intimidated, I have looked at her before, I can indeed feel that her eyes have a strange magic, when she looks at me I feel my heart tighten. ”

"Does Sirleaf feel that oppression too?"

I thought that Sirleaf was already a B-level and A-level adventurer, and he shouldn't be oppressed by that kind of look, but I didn't expect Sirleaf to feel that indescribable sense of oppression.

"Of course, what do you think of me, I can feel what ordinary people feel, okay......"

Sirleaf rolled his eyes, but judging by his relaxed tone now, I really couldn't imagine the feeling of his heart tightening after being stared at by those red eyes.

"Okay, don't interrupt, listen to me carefully."

"yes, I see."

"The rumored Flame and Frost - the sadistic Bloodthirsty will take people to the walls and then brutalize them, leaving a mess of knife marks on each wall that witnesses the cruelty.

On the day the rumors spread, a whole wall near the Adventurer's Guild had knife marks, and since the knife marks appeared on that wall, damaged walls have appeared everywhere.

It just so happened that some people recently said that they saw Flame and Frost attacking the wall, which happened to confirm the rumors of the sadistic Bloodthirsty Princess.

I just wanted you to help me ask her, is there anything you want to ask now, Raven Creek? ”

Seeing my always doubtful face, Sirleaf said.

"Isn't this just a ridiculous rumor that attacking a wall has earned a terrifying name...... It's unbelievable. ”

"But that's just the way it is."

Sirleaf also said with deep understanding.

It's impossible to say that there are no doubts, rumors are inevitably circulating too fast, but if you want to ask about such a thing that has no reason in itself, people don't know how to ask.

However, regarding the notches on the wall, I suddenly remembered that I had bought black pork and walked back from the path, and at that time there was also a magician's adventurer Saffle, who carved on the wall, so that the questions that needed to be understood were clear.

"I want to know if the notches on the walls have any specific meaning or something, or what are the characteristics."

Hearing me say this, Sirleaf began to think about the notch on the wall, and soon he came back to reality from his thoughts.

"There is no specific meaning or characteristic, if you have to say that it is characteristic...... It should be related to the emergence of rumors, because they only appeared one after another after the rumors appeared. ”

Getting such a vague answer only makes the question more ambiguous, so you can only ask Flame and Frost herself.

"Raven Creek (◦ ̇▽ ̇◦)~"

"Senna, aren't you going to talk to Flame and Frost for a while?"

According to Senna's character, she should have been chatting with her in Flame and Frost's room right now, but now she has come down with the store manager.

The first thing the store manager did when he came down was to wipe the cup, and Senna came up to me in a hurry.

"Frost's words say that there is something to let me come out (◦ ̇▽ ̇◦)~"

"Is Senna in such a good mood because something good is happening up there?"

"yes, Selleaf, Frost is going to live with us, so I can invite her to be my teammate with Raven Creek! And then - we'll be able to form a squad! ”

I didn't expect Senna to be able to think about the problem so thoroughly, staring at that silly face, I was quite emotional.

"That's really gratifying, congratulations!"

"Hey, hey, hey~ Crow's Creek - what are you watching me do (⊙o⊙)?"

"Ahh

Noticing that I had been staring at Senna's face for a little too long, I withdrew from my thoughts and confronted Senna's words.

"Elite's words are to prepare a spare room, and Frostfrost is still in the room to clean up!"

"Then I'll go up and help......"

In order to find the truth of the matter, I went to the second floor of the tavern to find my thoughts in the room of Flame and Frost.

"It should be here, anyone? I'm coming in. ”

Senna's room was the only one in front of me, and I put my hand on the doorknob, twisted the doorknob, and pushed them open.

"That...... Flame and frost, I'm here to ......"
