Chapter 3: Calling
December 1732 in the solar calendar Pamela Cabo town
The town of Cabo, a small town that was unremarkable in Pamela's territory, did not have the spice business that Kuruno was proud of, nor the noble status and gladiatorial arena of the capital city of Lozema. This town has all the qualities of the ordinary. Not rich, not poor, featureless. But in recent years, such towns have become increasingly popular with adventurers. There are also quite a few adventurers who come to Cabo today to see what they can do.
"It's the same here. Leaving the teleportation room, Lott said as he looked at the lively guild hall beside him.
"It's the same everywhere now. Patting the boy on the shoulder, Calvin led Lott inside, "The citizens here must be happy, now their commissions are being rushed. β
"Dragon's Tooth must have taken a lot of people because of this. The young man also teased, he was still carrying the giant sword, and the outfit on his body was different from the past. Calvin commissioned him to design a special set of leather armor to minimize the use of cloth while protecting critical areas. Because the weight of the greatsword was already heavy, it was impossible for Lott to wear metal armor anymore, and even the leather armor should be as simple as possible, so that the boy's movements would not be dragged down.
The two of them arrived at the door of the conference room, and Calvin opened the door to see Modrilla, who was already sitting there waiting for them.
"What's the matter with you summoning me so quickly, the rose that never withers?" Calvin's mouth was very sweet, but although he said witty words, his expression was not relaxed. He pulled out his chair and sat down next to the doll, and Lott stood beside him.
Seeing the boy standing, Mothrie stretched out her hand, "You can sit too, our silver adventurer." It's not a royal palace, there are not so many rules, you don't have to be restricted. β
"Sit down, kid. Calvin pulled out a chair for him.
Lott took off the greatsword from his back and leaned against the table, then sat down, "Thank you, Modelilah." β
"Alright, let's talk about it, Modrella. Calvin clenched his hands, he had arrived at an urgent call from Modryla, and he was definitely in trouble.
"Alas..."Sure enough, Modrilla sighed, her expression was very solemn, "Since the accident with Hopler, many people in the guild have not dared to take the initiative to go to the wild to sweep up monsters, and they are all nested in the city, you know?"
"A bunch of cowards. Calvin snorted coldly and commented.
"Don't blame them, there's no way, Yazlar has started to move, and the news of the disappearance of the Grand Magus is also spreading, except for gold medal adventurers like you, most of the silver and bronze medals are scared, their strength is not an opponent at all. "Scratching his finger over the tabletop, the doll looks anxious.
"Tsk, obviously there is no report of Yazlar's continued activities..."Calvin bit his lip, "If this continues, it will be difficult to suppress the increase in the value of monsters, and it is simply not enough to rely on our gold medal activities." β
"At first, I thought their reaction was temporary, but now that two years have passed, the situation has not changed, and it seems that if the archmage does not return, these adventurers will not be at ease. Those big-mouthed mages of Morrod Academy can't keep any secrets at all, and even if they don't tell the truth, the current form won't be so bad. Modrella's expression at this time was really eager to dig into the ground and pull Mosas out now, "But for now."
Don't worry, I can still call it moving, I will regularly force them to form a group to clean up a wave of monsters, plus your gold medal activity, so that at least their numbers will not flood for the time being, but I don't know how long it will last..."
"What about Dragonfang, didn't they help? Calvin thought of the group that had come out on top of the rankings.
"Fart!" said Dragon's Tooth, and Mosleya slammed the table down, "I'm sorry. Realizing that she shouldn't have said that, Modella hurriedly apologized, "They are the fastest group to coax, and they still rely on the large number of people to directly grab the daily tasks of those towns, and many low-level adventurers have begun to borrow money from the York Chamber of Commerce to live." β
"Something is going to happen if this continues. The Adventurer's Guild can't collapse!" Calvin said worriedly, "It's a pity that I can only fight, and I can't help you find someone." β
"Don't worry, I'll keep talking to them about Captain Blue, and with me, I'm not going to let that crash happen. I don't know if the puppets are reckless, but Modrila has never disappointed them, and if there is anyone in the world who can say and do, Modrila must be one.
"So, did you summon me because there was a powerful monster in the nearby wilderness?" Calvin speculated, "Wyvern, Chimera, Griffon?"
"No..."Modrilla's slightly lonely expression became nervous again, "This time I need to ask you to deal with not the monster commission, but... Mystery Investigation Commission. β
"What's going on?" Calvin was surprised by this request, he had clearly said that the monster had a big problem just now, so why did he entrust him to investigate the incident now?
Hearing the investigation of the incident, Lot's expression, which had not spoken, also became nervous. After all, the last incident investigation he did was a very bad adventure. He had always believed that incident investigation was much more dangerous than commissioning monsters, so he had never accepted such a task over the years.
"Don't worry, this time it's not a ruin, it's not some nameless town. Sensing the teenager's uneasiness, Modella hurriedly reassured him, "To put it simply, this is the city where the murder took place. β
"Is this a case that Pamela and the Sparrow Crow can't solve?" Calvin was a little puzzled, if this was Potnatus, wouldn't it be strange, this was Pamela, how could they entrust such a thing to the Adventurers' Guild?
"I know you're asking. Jasmine snapped her fingers, and some magical images appeared on the other side of the room, "Look at that." The puppet pointed.
The knight and the boy followed Modrella's guidance as they watched the images appear, and their faces turned white.
"What is this made of!?" exclaimed Lot.
The image could barely tell that it was a human corpse, and the wound on the torso was large, and there were many fragments of the corpse scattered around, which looked extremely terrifying.
"The sparrows had the same expressions as yours at the time, so they asked me for my opinion..."Modrilla lowered her voice, "Optimistically, if it was a heavy weapon like Lot's greatsword or a warrior's axe, it wouldn't be impossible, but things weren't always so optimistic. So I suggested they asked me to recommend a helper, and then I thought of you. β
"You suspect that a monster has infiltrated the city?" Calvin took a deep breath, "More than that, you should be more suspicious, don't you?" β
"There already is
There are two victims, and there is no evidence that the murderer will stop in moderation, you know the monster, you know better... Thatβ" Jasdella's tone was worried, this matter was too tricky, although there were many adventurers in the city now, but if it was really that thing, these guys would be useless.
"Impossible, how is that possible?" Calvin shook his head, "You probably know there's no way that thing is here." β
"It's impossible not to be important, I want you to look into it. A false alarm is the best, and if it's true, you're the best person to deal with. But this isn't Potnatus, and the Sparrows won't leave it all to you, they'll be in charge of the investigation with you. Placing her hand on the knight's hand, Modelella looked into the knight's eyes, her eyes full of pleading, "Okay, Calvin?"
After staring at the puppet for a while, the knight laughed, "I said I was sorry just now, but now I can help, of course I won't refuse." β
"Great. Receiving an affirmative answer, the puppet breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll inform the sparrows, and they'll send someone to contact you in the afternoon." β
"Okay," Calvin nodded happily, "what about the points and rewards?"
"Don't worry, I'll give you the highest specification, it's rare that Pamela will bow her head, this is not Porterth. Jasmine smiled, "You can live in the guild for the rest of your time, it's free." β
"If we need the guild's help..."Calvin made another offer.
"I'll do my best to help you, if the killer isn't human. Modrilla nodded deeply, seeing that she was really counting on Calvin.
"Then let's go to our room and get some rest. Calvin said and stood up, "Let us know if the sparrow comes." β
"Okay. The doll nodded and stood up, "I'm at the front desk, don't worry." β
The two followed the staff's guidance to check into the Adventurers' Guild and came to the room, where Lot was used to putting his sword away first, and then he went out the window, where the knight was pouring water behind his back.
"Mr. Calvin, the one you're worried about is..."
"Yes, vampires. Calvin bluntly said: "Judging by the wound, it is indeed very similar. β
"How did they come here, lurking in the city?" Lott was a little incredulous, "maybe it's just a lot of it?"
"If it was confirmed, then Modrilla wouldn't just call me. "Sitting on the bed the knight drinking water" she also said, it could be man-made, it could be other monsters, vampires are just a possibility. β
"We need to investigate, so this is an investigative commission..."
"yes, I'll let you look into it. Calvin smiled bitterly, and after talking to the puppet, he was under a lot of pressure, neither the current situation nor the task at hand was optimistic.
"There are thousands of people in a town... If you let him eat..."
"Don't be so pessimistic, saying that it's just a possibility, and not everything will go in the worst direction. β
"If that's really... What will happen?"
Calvin frowned deeply at the thought of this, "That's enough," he stopped Lott's chatter, "Take a good rest, it's going to be busy in the afternoon." β
"I don't think we have time to rest. Lott looked out the window on the street, "The sparrows have come." β
