Chapter 65: A New Phantom Beast
Essenbach has been so anxious that he can't sleep for the past few days, and Eschenbach has been waiting for Lily's return since Joseph's daughter Lily left Dorma City for the Devil's Wrath Canyon a few days ago. He knew that Lily was a very powerful steel-level adventurer, a genius warrior recognized by the entire Adventurers' Guild, but after all, it was the Devil's Fury Canyon. If the guild loses two steel-level adventurers at once because of himself, then his own sin will be too great.
Just when Eschenbach was so anxious that he could only stay awake with a refreshing drink, there was a knock on the office door: "Minister! Mr. Joseph and Miss Lily are back! ”
It's back! Oh my God, the two of them are back!
Eschenbach hurriedly ran over and opened the door, and standing in the door were the disgraced Joseph father and daughter.
"Joseph, you're finally back! How's it going? What about the others? ”
Joseph shook his head and said, "I couldn't save it...... As I went down, I met one of the adventurers named Arabu, but he was also eaten by Ottokaron...... I brought you a message that I don't know if it's good news or bad news. ”
Eschenbach motioned for the two to sit down and asked, "What's the news?" Did something happen to the Devil's Fury Canyon? ”
"Devil's Fury Canyon...... Let me tell you this, there has been a collapse in the Devil's Fury Canyon, and the entire canyon has been buried...... The current Devil's Wrath Canyon has become a slightly sunken piece of land, and all the corpses and miasma in it are buried. ”
After hearing Joseph say this, Eschenbach didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, and this centuries-old Devil's Fury Canyon disappeared because of a landslide? This...... Kind of a good thing, right?
Wait, since the Devil's Wrath Canyon has disappeared, doesn't that mean that the Otto Karon below is also buried?
Eschenbach asked Joseph: "What about Ottokaron?" Is Otto Karon also buried underneath? ”
"No, there isn't." Joseph replied, "At least one of the Ottokarons escaped to land before us, and we don't know if any other Ottokaron individuals escaped from the canyon before it." But other than that, nothing came up in the entire Devil's Fury Canyon after that. ”
Indeed, the news left Eschenbach unsure whether it was good or bad. The good thing is that there won't be any more Otokaro coming out of the Devil's Wrath Canyon, and the bad side is that Otokaron has settled directly on the land and it is not known how many there are.
Eschenbach covered his head in some embarrassment and said, "How the hell is this calculated...... Now what I need to do is to release the quest to hunt Otto Karon? ”
Joseph hadn't spoken yet, but Lily said to Eschenbach, "No, what you need to do now is to send another mission to investigate the buried Devil's Fury Canyon." ”
Eschenbach looked up puzzled and asked, "Why?" The canyon is buried, what else needs to be investigated? ”
"It's buried, but there's something strange down there...... As I was leaving, I saw a monster in the canyon. I saw only its eyes but not its face, and although the canyon was now buried, I couldn't be sure if the monster was still alive. If that monster is still alive...... I'm sure it's definitely a more menacing presence than Otto Karon. ”
Joseph was stunned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?!" ”
"I told you that you must stay there for investigation, and I promised my mother that I must take you back, how can I still let you stay there?"
Joseph didn't know how to refute for a while, and after thinking for a while, Eschenbach said to his assistant: "Is there any news from Ania and them?" ”
"Aniah?" When Lily heard the name, she asked, "Is Ania the disciple of the dark mage who defeated the dragon?" She's said to be an adventurer too, and a steel-level adventurer like me. ”
Eschenbach replied, "That's right, it's a disciple of the Dark Mage." If it is really according to what you said, that monster is very likely to be a phantom beast, according to the strength of the normal adventurer's guild, it is difficult to win, and even if it wins, it will pay a great price, so we can only choose to let the powerful Ania solve the danger this time. I guess Ania would be able to accomplish the task easily, right? ”
And just as Eschenbach said this, he inadvertently sparked Lily's competitive spirit, and she had heard about Ania before Lily came to Doma City. Genius magician, disciple of the black magician, it only took a few days from becoming an adventurer to becoming a steel-level adventurer. Easily defeated Otokaron, who had always been a headache for adventurers, and after that, defeated the invading dragon.
Lily felt that although she had defeated Otokaron as well, she didn't know if she would be able to defeat the dragon, as she had never seen a real dragon. And from these aspects, it seems that he is ...... There is no advantage other than being younger than Ania in age, right? It took four years to become a steel-class adventurer herself, and it only took a few days for Ania to become a Steel-level adventurer. Although his father is also a very powerful steel-level adventurer, he does not have a strong background. But Aniah's teacher is a powerful magician who can kill dragons, and is recognized by the world as the most powerful magician on this continent.
If one day you really meet the legendary dragons, maybe you can have a chance to give it a try, right? When the time comes, you will be able to prove that you also have the ability to defeat the dragon. But now all she wants to do is prove that she is not weaker than Aniah, isn't Ania the monster who can deal with the demon's wrath? Then you can solve that monster yourself, and then you can prove that you are even more powerful than Aniah, right?
"I'll go." Lily said to Eschenbach, "I'll investigate the monster down there, and if anything happens, I'll get rid of it." ”
"No! That's too dangerous! Joseph immediately stopped Lily and said, "Aren't you going to take me back?" Now I'm going home with you, so you can't go. ”
"I'm going!" Lily said firmly, "I'm going to prove to you that I can do what Ania can do, and I can do it better than her, isn't it just a phantom beast?" Even if the dragons come, I won't be afraid, so just wait and see how I bring that monster back to you. ”
