648 Plan and act

Nominally a commercial city, the city of Tahrir is in fact a hub for adventurers.

In addition to the Crown of Glory, there are branches set up by the major organizations of the Fairy World, and there are even adventurers' unions that have gradually spawned out to ensure their own interests.

Although the northern ice fields of Grantham have been developed for a long time, there are still vast areas that have not been inhabited, where powerful magical beasts, strange species, and precious ores buried in the ground can be found, and even some precious resources that have disappeared in other regions can be found there.

As a result, the city of Tahrir, which is closest to entering the northern ice field, has become such a deformed and sprawling city.

Thieves and robbers are at home here, and all kinds of spontaneously established adventurer unions are also absorbing all those who want to make a fortune, sending them to the northern ice fields to exchange their lives for various gains.

Because of the reputation of this place, and the remuneration offered by the various guilds is still quite attractive, so Shamanti, who came here three years ago after being introduced by a friend, finally chose an adventurer's guild, and in order to solve the debt problem of little Stasi, she exchanged her ten years in exchange for a hundred high-grade crystals.

Sharman, who was assigned to the current team, has shown her talent in the environment of the northern ice fields, and her sensitivity to magical beasts and instinctive perception of danger have gradually increased the team's gains, and they have also gone deeper and deeper into areas that were previously inaccessible.

However, in an operation last month, the red-haired old man caused the team to invade a mining area owned by a large union, which eventually led to the four people being chased by the mine protection team, and finally Shaman, who voluntarily stopped and intercepted, was captured.

The three men who fled back to Tahrir City in embarrassment were told that their misadventure had led to serious consequences. Therefore, if you want to redeem the captured Shaman, then you need to pay a large amount of spar as compensation.

It was obviously a deception, but there was no way to compete with a union of this size, and the remaining three people had no choice but to agree, but when they had scraped together enough to redeem the spar that Saman had withdrawn, the spar that needed to be paid for redemption had been greatly increased, which led to the three of them gathering in this tavern to discuss countermeasures.

After understanding Raymond's identity and roughly guessing his strength, the red-haired old man no longer hid it, and told all the reasons for his current situation.

It turns out that this powerful force called the "Shadow Guild" has discovered that Saman has an extraordinary sense of a certain magical beast in the northern ice field, so he wants to raise the ransom. Forcing them to abandon the rescue, and ultimately aim to make the Sharman retreat a long-term slave to the Shadow Guild and serve them in the development of the northern ice fields.

"What kind of background does the Shadow Guild have, and the order in Tahrir City is maintained by that organization," after knowing the general situation. Raymond did not rush into action and began to ask. "Also, if there is a serious conflict with the Shadow Guild. What level of wizard will eventually lead to involvement. Please tell me more details!"

"The founder of the Shadow Guild was originally a high-ranking wizard in the Grand League, and only took over the management of the Shadow Guild after quitting the Grand League, and it is said that he has now reached the level of a third-level wizard. ”

Seeing that Raymond didn't have any uneasiness when he heard about the third-level wizard, a flash of excitement flashed in the red-haired old man's eyes. "And although Tahrir City seems to be peaceful, if there is a big conflict, it will still lead to the intervention of the three major organizations, but the high-level wizards who sit here. Only the branch of Alley's Horn has an old wizard of the Dawn level, but that old guy is only in charge of the affairs of Alley's Horn, and as long as there is no conflict against Alley's Horn in Tarir, he will not show up!"

After listening to the introduction of the red-haired old man. Raymond's heart has a bottom. "Where is Samangar being held now?"

"The headquarters of the Shadow Guild, three blocks away from here," the red-haired old man's expression turned serious, with doubts in his eyes. "But during this time, the Shadow Guild has undertaken a large exploration mission, so where are most of the people gathered, don't you ......?"

With a wave of his hand, the simulated Shaman withdrawal vision was canceled, and Raymond tapped his fingers on the table a few times to explain. "Who wants to accompany me to ask for someone now, but the person who accompanies me will probably not be able to live in Tahrir City in the future, but I can provide relevant accommodation, which should be much safer than continuing to stay in the northern ice field and adventure!"

Raymond's promise made the freckled girl stand up immediately, and shouted without hesitation. "I'll go!"

The bearded knight, who was sitting there, was not too excited, but immediately nodded. "I do, too!"

Only the red-haired old man stared at Raymond for a long time, and suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything under the gaze of the freckled girl and the bearded knight.

"In that case, then I'll start arranging," Raymond, who didn't try to convince the red-haired old man, stood up and faced the rabbit girl, and whispered. "It's just that this matter will definitely involve you when it develops to the fullest, so I want to ask for your opinion!"

Confusion flashed in her dark eyes, and the rabbit girl who tilted her head and fingers were still twisted together, but she still hadn't reacted, and looked at Raymond in a daze and shook her head.

"You've heard everything you just said, and even if a few of them can get out of here, you'll definitely be found by the Shadow Guild," Raymond smiled bitterly with an apologetic look on his face. "So either you leave here with them, or you can only leave Tahrir City quickly, but you must not be discovered by the Shadow Guild in the future, otherwise the consequences will be worrying!"

At first, there was suspicion in her eyes, but as Raymond told the rabbit girl's face turned pale, and she began to sobb silently without saying a word, and large tears fell down her cheeks.

The rabbit girl looked too pitiful, and it was very embarrassing for Raymond, who told the reason, but fortunately, the freckled girl hurriedly walked over, dragged her to the corner, and then whispered in her ear, as if to explain.

The rabbit girl, who had not taken her eyes off Raymond, finally returned a little ruddy with the freckled girl's persuasion and explanation, and suddenly bent down and pleaded with Raymonds Aiai. "My lord, I have a younger brother who is not an adult......"

For this rabbit girl who suffered an unwarranted disaster, Raymond still felt a little guilty in his heart, and immediately affirmed it. "Your family can come with you!"

The rabbit girl with red eyes but gratitude on her face, bowing to Raymond once again, made Raymond feel very uncomfortable.

"Since Lord Raymond is planning to act, then please count me in it as well," the red-haired old man who had been looking at Raymond coldly, his face finally became firm. "The matter of Shaman's withdrawal was caused by me, so I'll accompany you to the Shadow Guild in a while!"

Raymond, who smiled, nodded, and after a little thought, began the detailed arrangement.

Since Raymond can't stay in Tahrir for long, the rescue of Saman must be resolved quickly.

Raymond, who dealt with the worst of the situation, asked the Freckled Girl to pick up her brother with the Rabbit Girl, and the two of them rushed to the Colosseum together.

The bearded knight returned to the place where the team was staying, packed up his things, and went to the Colosseum to arrange for the rental of a flying beast to leave Tahrir.

The red-haired old man needs to take Raymond to the headquarters of the Shadow Guild, and after confirming the safety of Shaman's withdrawal, Raymond will carry out the corresponding rescue.

The bearded knight and the freckled girl left first, while Raymond, who had followed the red-haired old man to hail a carriage to the Shadow Guild, turned extremely cold.

After two blocks of the carriage speeding all the way, Raymond, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the huge white castle-like building, and his face turned completely cold...... (To be continued......)
