Chapter 4: The Quarrel at the Firm

Kaiyala: "Is there such a thing? You're not hurt, are you?"

Fiona: "We don't have anything, it's just that the ruins of the north are quite close to Kuhan, and if this werewolf really wants to start attacking humans, Kuhan's forces may not be able to resist it." ”

Lista: "Do you know the strength of the werewolves?"

Kaiyala "I did a survey before when humans and wolves were still neutral, and the werewolves inhabiting the ruins in the north had about 1,000 troops, and our mercenary group was dozens of people."

.......

Marley "I'm back"

Kaiyala: "You're back, how's the head of the regiment?"

Marley had woken up, and everyone told him to rest again, but he insisted on coming over to have a look, so I came over and got the regimental commander something he needed right away. ”

Marley: "So what's going on with the werewolves?"

Fiona "We're talking about it"

Lista "We were stopped at the entrance to the ruins of the north, and when we saw me take out the necklace you gave me, we immediately attacked"

Marley: "What??" Immediately launched an attack on you, it seems that it is not a simple matter, actually attacked the scout who just went to investigate, the training ground of our mercenary group is in the northern ruins, I believe it is not difficult for you to see that we have always been neutral with werewolves before, it seems that we have to investigate further, and we can't act rashly, so, Lista, you go to the adventurer's guild to find Kosti, she is a hunter, maybe there is more research on werewolves, or this necklace"

Lista "Good"

Marley: "You two, clean up the office, the head of the regiment will be here in a moment, it's a mess."

Kaiara: "Oh---"

Fiona: "Hey, boy, I'm just back, hey, don't go, let's clean up together"

........

According to Marley's position, Lista found the Adventurers' Guild and pushed the door in, between which a mature woman with curly brown hair sat on a chair covered in animal skins sharpening a knife.

Kosti: "Mercenary group here?" Ah, I know you, O hero of Kuhan, it's a pleasure to see you."

Lista scratched her head in embarrassment, "Don't, Miss Costy, I can't stand everyone like this"

Kosty put down what he was doing and clapped his hands, "Hello, my name is Kosty, I'm a hunter, that's all for introducing myself, what's the matter, mercenary"

Lista went straight to the point, took out the necklace, and before Lista could speak, Kosti focused his attention on it.

Costi "Let me see if this necklace is okay"

Lista handed the necklace over, and Kosti, who had taken it, found a dusty parchment roll from the bookshelf behind her, opened it, and took the necklace to rummage through the parchment. After a while, Kosti fixed his sights on a certain spot on the parchment.

Kosti "Sure enough, if you just look at the necklace, this is just a werewolf necklace with traditional craftsmanship, but, you see, there is a red logo on this necklace, and this symbol is the demon logo"

Lista: "Yes, Captain Marley said the same"

Kosti "This is very strange, although the werewolves are brutal, they used to belong to the demons, but they have escaped from the demons by themselves through a long struggle, and they are a race with a strong sense of pride living in the ruins of the north, and they carried out a great destruction campaign after breaking away from the demons, destroying all traces related to the demons"

There are two possibilities now, one, that the necklace was made before the Great Destruction Movement and was lucky enough to escape it. No matter how much you try to sabotage, there's no guarantee that everything will be destroyed. It is possible that a few things that were not found survived. It's not impossible. ”

Kosti "two, this necklace is a new item made after the Great Sabotage Campaign. ... That's the trouble. If that's the case, isn't the werewolf... Returning to the demons? I'm not sure. To be sure, in the ruins... Something is happening. ”

Lista was speechless for a while after listening to Kosti's explanation, this small Kuhan is not a big place but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, just a necklace can find out the history, and analyze the results, and soon Lista turned his mind back to this demon symbol.

Lista suddenly thought of a point, "By the way, Miss Kosty, do you know anything about demons?"

Kosti smiled playfully, "Mercenary, do you know that we humans have been fighting against demons all year round?"

At this time, Lista also found himself asking a very stupid question, and continued with a smile, "I mean this, if the werewolf chooses to return to the demon clan, then, will the demon come to support, or will the demon clan summon the wolf clan over?"

Kosti thought for a while, "Well, the question you asked is worth thinking about, if according to habits, the demons are domineering by nature, and the battle line between the demons and humans is on the side of Rochester, I think there is a high probability that the demons will gather werewolves, but, mercenary, I'm just a hunter, in terms of strategy, let's ask you Captain Aidan"

......

Lista, who returned to the mercenary group, saw Kaiara who was cleaning up the office, and Ellis, who had just entered the office on Lista's front foot, Fiona had disappeared, probably because she didn't want to clean up and made an excuse.

Ellis: "Yesterday...... Just left, so I want to apologize. ”

Kaiyala: "It's okay and it's not your fault. Don't care. ”

Ellis: "Wrong is wrong!" So I'm going to be punished! ”

Kaiyala: "Oops...... They all said they didn't have to worry about it. ”

Kaiyala: "So if it's not a replacement, can you do me a favor?" ”

Ellis: "Just the command!" ”

Kaiyala: "I'm going out to get something, can you help me clean the office?" ”

Ellis: "No problem, let's go and get back quickly." ”

Kaiyala: "So Lista, can you clean up with Ellis?" I will be back as soon as possible. ”

After Kaiyala left, Ellis cleaned up and sighed, "When I see Kaiyala, I think of my cadet mate Brawen." She is also a woman, and she is very popular because she is kind and affectionate. But Lord Deyun, who is also a girl, is avoided by many people. It can be seen that ......"

Lista: "Ellis is such a cute boy."

Ellis: "You.... You, I won't tell you anymore."

Woman "Hey, Soldier"

Ellis: "Oh my God! De, Lord Deyun! ”

It turned out that the female knight who quarreled with Marley a few days ago was Lord Deyun in Ellis's mouth, and I have to say that Deyun is very majestic, giving people a feeling that it is not easy to approach.

Deyun pointed at Lista at the door, "Hey, soldier, here"

Lista asked, "Huh? It's coming."

Deyun: "I have something to tell you, do you want to talk to me for a while?" I'm Deyun of the Kingdom Knights. It's not very convenient to talk here, so let's get straight to the point. ”

Lista looked around and made sure that there were no mercenary group colleagues, "Uh, but.. Yes."

Deyun: "Can you go to the northern ruins and investigate the relationship between werewolves and spiders?"

Lista showed an ugly expression, not to mention that he had not rested for consecutive tasks, but this, he was a mercenary belonging to the Kablaan mercenary group, and now Captain Marley was arguing with this Deyun knight.

Deyun: "Do you need some clarification on your expression?" ”

Ellis: "What's wrong?" ”

Deyun: "Be quiet. ”

Ellis: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! (panic) I'll change! ”

Deyun: "...... It's better to cover your mouth. ”

Ellis: "Yes! Rice ...... Gazse (as if covering his mouth and saying something)"

Lista: "Lord Deyun, you know, it's really difficult for me to do it."

Deyun: "...... I can't stand it. Anyway, soldier, you listen. The Divine Court decided that this Bell Tower incident was the first step in the Demon Clan's invasion. They believe that the current problem is not that the spider is going berserk, but that the demon who is close to the werewolf has been discovered. The preliminary judgment may be that those werewolves have done something to the spiders......"

Deyun: "...... It doesn't make sense to your boss at all. So this time I want to give you a mission, I heard that you are the warrior who went to the clock tower that day. If you can investigate something, I'll reward you. Not only that, but I will give you the opportunity to become a knight based on the importance of lightness and thinness you bring. ”

It wasn't until Deyun said the last sentence that the tiredness on Lista's face was swept away, didn't he just want to be a knight like a mercenary group, but he didn't expect the opportunity to be in front of him at this time.

Deyun saw the surprise flashing in Lista's eyes, and continued, "You should have your own ambitions, too. I don't think a good warrior can always be a mercenary in this small village."

Lista couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, "Lord Nadeyun, I'll leave immediately, go and come back quickly"

Deyun: "Very good soldier, I'll wait for your report at the entrance of the village"

After several consecutive trips, Lista was already familiar with the road to the northern ruins, thinking that he might be recommended to become a knight after completing this mission, and with joy, he trotted all the way and soon arrived at the northern ruins, but this time Lista did not hide behind the ruins to avoid the werewolf patrol team like the last time he acted with Fiona.

On the way to sneak, Lista easily killed several lone werewolves, until they came to a place similar to the central square, and a large number of werewolves dragged a huge cage towards a white lizardman, the cage was full of half-human-sized spiders, in this huge cage, such spiders numbered hundreds.

The white lizardman took a staff and walked to the cage, bowed a few times to the spider inside, and then nodded to the werewolf next to him. The werewolf opened the cage, and the dense spiders obediently lined up, and under the command of the werewolf, the group of spiders dispersed in an orderly manner.

Listazo climbed to the top of a ruin and continued to observe for a moment, and when Lista was about to leave, the white lizardmen came out again, along with a large red werewolf with a large army of werewolves.

Lista's pupils dilated instantly, this red werewolf was afraid to be three meters tall, and the other werewolves were like children next to him.

"What is this for, this... This should be a werewolf, leader."

Seeing that the white lizard and the huge red werewolf shook hands, he slowly left with a large number of werewolf troops behind the red werewolf.

"It seems that this lizardman is from the demons, and this situation should be that the demons have exchanged the strength of the werewolves for dominating the spiders" Lista recorded all these situations on a piece of paper, and then cautiously returned.

"Whew" a werewolf found Lista in a low place, but Lista didn't dare to stay, after all, he was alone in the enemy's lair, this number of werewolves, even if he had a stunt, he would be trampled to death, fortunately, Lista's speed was outstanding, and he quickly ran out of the northern ruins, and the werewolf stopped chasing.

Deyun "How's it going, soldier?"

Looking at the panting Lista, Deyun handed over a bag of water.

"Sir, the demons are indeed dominating the spiders in some way, and besides, the number of spiders is heavy."

"Hmm" Deyun listened to the information brought by Lista, and spread the paper on the stake of the railing to record.

"There is one more thing, a person similar to the demon clan took away a large number of wolf clans, and the scale is not too small"

Deyun heard Lista's narration, stopped his pen, and stared at Lista, "Is it true?" ”

"It's true"

"Very well, soldier, this is the end of our conversation, I will explain my good behavior to my superiors, now the matter is urgent, and we will talk about it later"

After Deyun got the news of the explosion, he hurriedly ran into Kuhan, and after Lista dried up the water sent by Deyun, he didn't dare to delay, and went straight to the mercenary group, after all, he secretly came out to perform the task for the knights behind the mercenary group.
