I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 147: Aftermath

"C-Can you say it one more time?"

The receptionist looks at us with a surprised expression.

"We managed to conquer the dungeon. You can send a rider to that place and verify our claim."

"That is what I thought. We will send a rider to that place. Can you wait for a few hours while our fastest scout checks the dungeon?"

"Of course."

After saying that, my companion and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the guild. Today is not a busy day for the guild, as most adventurers are already returning to work. That is why we can enjoy some peace in this place.

=//=

After waiting for a while, the scout team returns from scouting the area and looks at us with a different look.

"I think it is time to call the Guild Master. She needs to hear this."

"I’m already here."

I look to the side and see a woman sitting on the table in the corner of the room. Oh? She is the guild master, huh? She has white hair and green eyes that shine with power. She is slender, but I can see that she is fit, fitter than any ordinary adventurer. However, her ears got my attention; it was a pointed ear. She is an elf.

"Guild master!"

"Tch. You did not need to bow to me. I’m not a noble."

The woman walks to us and looks at the scout team.

"How is it? Tell me."

"Yes!"

One person from the scout team, I think he is the leader of the group, walks forward and says.

"We manage to explore the cave, and it is empty. There is nothing in that place any longer. We also found this."

The scout lead takes out a giant black orb and shows it to the guild master. The woman takes the orb and examines it for a few seconds.

"This is... [Baphomet], right?"

"Yes. The boss monster is [Baphomet], guild master."

They are good. They can identify the monster by their core. I really forgot about the core. We were too focused on getting away and did not think about the core.

"What about the others? Where are the other bodies?"

"There is none. I don’t know where the corpses go, and I’m worried that the other monster is eating them. There is no corpse in that place."

The guild master looks at me and says,

"You have magic to store them, right?"

I nod and say.

"Yes. Do you want me to release them?"

"Do it in the back. Do you have the body of [Baphomet]?"

"No. I destroy them, burning them into ashes."

"Burning them? Are you joking? That thing is immune to fire."

"Not to holy fire, no."

[Solar Flare] is not a regular fire-type spell. It releases the holy power of the sun. In the Second Life, the Sun is a deity for some reason because of how many people worship it. Hell, there is a mission for a certain priest class that needs them to speak to the sun, the avatar of the sun.

Anyway, [Solar Flare] did not release a regular fire but rather a holy fire, and [Baphomet] is a darkness-type monster. The Holy element is the perfect element for it.

The guild master looks at me strangely and says.

"Are you by any chance a priest? Your healing ability alone makes you a high-ranking priest."

I smile at her and shake my head.

"No. I’m not a priest of any church. I’m just a healer who likes to help people and explore the world."

The guild master looks at me for a few seconds before laughing—a full belly laugh.

"Hah! I like you. Anyway, [Baphomet] is an S-rank monster, and because of this, I can officially welcome you to an A-rank adventurer. I will also promote you two."

The guild master looks at Quentyn and Jul-Tan.

"From now on, you two will be B-rank adventurers."

"Thank you, guild master!"

"Don’t mention it. You deserve it. Just make sure you do not get too cocky. B-rank will get you a lot of money, but the mission is also harder and more dangerous."

"Of course, guild master."

"Good."

She then looks at me and says.

"Anyway, from now on, you are an A-rank adventurer. You can also use this rank in any place other than the Eastern Continent. They need a month or two to verify it, but you can use it."

"Thank you, guild master."

"Bah! My name is Kaylessa Enkian, but you can call me Kay."

"My name is Gwyndolin, but you can call me Gwyn. I even insist on being called Gwyn."

"Good. I will keep an eye on you, Gwyn. I know you will be a great adventurer."

The guild master grins at me and looks at the people in the adventurer guild.

"Alright, people! Let’s have a party! On me!"

Ah, she said the P-word. Urgh. It looks like I will cure a lot of hangover victims. Oh well. Free food and drink.

|Mehrdad Verlagan - King of the Verlagan Kingdom|

"They manage to conquer a dungeon, huh?"

"That’s right, Your Highness. Not only that, they manage to defeat an S-rank monster in the dungeon. By the number of corpses, a giant monster outbreak will come at us if that dungeon leaves alone to grow a little bit longer."

I release a sigh and rub the bridge of my nose.

"This is a disaster. We did not have enough high-ranking adventurers to take care of the monster problem around our kingdom. The ones we have already sent to the place need them the most, but because of that, we did not have enough of them to take care of the problem we have around here."

It is because of that damned empire. The kingdoms and empires in the Western Continent did not invade each other because of the threat of the monsters that keep spawning and killing any living being in this place.

The threat of the monster was so great that people did not want to fight each other.

However, that doesn’t mean no invasion has happened in the past two decades. Bulkon Empire, our neighbor empire, invaded another kingdom after monsters overran that kingdom. Instead of getting resistance, the people rejoice because the empire saves their lives.

This is not the first. Four decades ago, the same thing happened. A kingdom overrun by monsters outbreak and Bulkon Empire come in as a savior. My father already knows their tactics and learned how they do it.

They lure a high-ranking adventurer into their empire by promising land, gold, and other things they want. Not only high-ranking adventurers but also other adventurers as well. Because of this, the number of monsters in that kingdom will increase to the point the kingdom cannot handle it.

"Ask the guild to explore the area around Mantah to see if there are more dungeons. If there is one, send a group of knights and magicians to handle it. It will cost quite a bit of money to mobilize that force, but the safety of our people is the number one priority."

My friend and the current prime minister bowed his head.

"Of course, Your Highness."

"Now, do you know where Grandmaster Gwyndolin wants to go next?"

"I don’t know, Your Highness. However, there is a high chance that he will try to visit Rezghi County."

"That place, huh? Then send a letter to Lord Rezghi saying they should take care of them."

"I don’t think that should be a problem, Your Highness."

"I know that Benham will not do anything stupid because Grandmaster Gwyndolin is his savior, but his vassal is the one I’m worried about."

"Ah. The newly ascending lord, huh? Baron Ujar."

I nod and say.

"Yes. That man is a known womanizer and sadist who forces his way into women. While we did not have enough evidence to execute him and his family, we have enough rumors and reports about missing women in his territory."

"You don’t think he is brave enough to..."

"I don’t know, but I just want to make sure. We did not need to make an enemy of the Gipan Kingdom. We did not need one of our nobles trying to abduct the wife of a Grandmaster of the Gipna Kingdom. There might not be an outright war, but we will lose too much from this. Not only will we lose trade partners, but we will also lose access to the Southern Kingdom."

That will be bad.

The Verlagan Kingdom is a trade kingdom, and the biggest trade partner for our kingdom is the Southern Continent, especially the Luzia and Gipan Kingdoms. They are a fair partner in trade, especially the people in the Luzia Kingdom and the southern part of the Gipan Kingdom.

Losing them as our trading partners will be a disaster. Not only because we will not have enough gold to pay the knights, but we will also need to search for another way to buy food. We import a lot of food from that place.

"I will send a letter at once."

"Good. I just hope that man is not stupid enough to disobey a direct order from a king."
