I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 163: S-rank Mission

Eight days after the execution of Amir, I can see a lot of people from the capital coming to this place. I think I know the reason why they are coming here. When Amir is about to get executed, he admits his crime and even admits that he is doing it of his own volition, and Lord Benham does not know about his action.

It was a good political maneuver, I think.

While Lord Benham still gets some black spot from what his vassal has done, he gets the benefit of the doubt that he truly does not know about Amir’s crime. Just like I said, he still got a black spot because he did not know about it.

The others will not see that Amir expertly hid his side business, so the others don’t know about it and will blame Lord Benham, but with that ’willing’ confession, Lord Benham will get away with only a small black spot in his record.

However, what I found interesting is that Amir did not confess that he put a spy inside the city. The reason why I know about this little information is because of Jonathan, who decided to look at Amir’s suffering. He is a little bit sadistic to anyone he sees as my enemy. Well, alright. He is a psychopath to any of my enemies.

Anyway, while he is sneaking into the dungeon, using the cloak I gave him, he hears about how Amir is why the empire’s spies easily get into the kingdom. Because of this reason, he got the network to sell the slaves of the Verlagan’s people.

What I want to say is that Amir did not confess he is the reason why there are spies in the Verlagan Kingdom, and the only people who know about this situation are Lord Benham and his close friends and the king and his advisor.

Oh, well. It was not my problem. My companion and I are busy completing the adventurer quest and exploring this place.

There is a weird rumor about monsters appearing and thirty people missing a few days ago, but Jonathan says it was a ploy the lord used to keep the citizens of Lokah City from panicking after thirty people went missing. In truth, they are getting kidnapped and interrogated by Lord Benham and his people.

And sure enough, there is news that the monster is dead, but it manages to kidnap thirty people and kill them. This is why a group of soldiers is coming from the capital to ’protect’ the citizens of Lokah, but in truth, they are here to search for spies in the area around Lokah City.

Right! I’m getting distracted by them once again.

Anyway, my companion and I explored the area and found that Lokah City is truly a perfect fortress city. To the west, we have a massive mountain range that hinders anyone who tries to attack from the west.

The only way to get into Lokah City is through the north, through something people called the Valley of Blood. It is called that because when war comes, that place will be filled with a river of blood, for it is a gap between two cliffs where Lokah City will defend it like it is their life.

You can take the river, but there are many checkpoints with at least fifty guards guarding the area, and when war comes, it will increase by at least three times the normal number. The only weakness is the river, but with enough preparation, the river can be even more dangerous for the enemy.

However, there are a few downsides to all these natural defenses. The first one, because of the mountain range to the west, monsters will spawn inside the cavern deep inside the mountain. Adventurers and soldiers must ensure the number of monsters does not pass a certain threshold.

For the past weeks, we have taken a few missions of killing monsters in this area for the guild. Of course, we also take the mission that lets us explore the area. We even visited a place called Sandfall.

It is a cliff where sand falls from it to the lower place. The sand gets there from a weekly sandstorm and will slowly fall again. It is a beautiful sight.

We even do some sand surfing. I control the sand so the wooden board moves at high speed. The last person to fall is the winner. They can attack each other, as long as it is not a lethal attack, and try to make the other fall to the sand.

It is all about balance, awareness, and quick thinking.

Sonia, who lost the last competition, is the winner. She tries her hardest and becomes the winner of the competition. She gets two glasses of ice cream from my pocket dimension. Her smile was so bright that I thought that there were two suns that day.

That is a bit much, but she is my daughter! I can do that!

From the constant hunting and dungeon diving, we are now an A-rank adventurer, all of us. We can take an S-rank mission as a party, and I think we will do just that. We are currently walking to the massive building in the middle of the city.

This building is the adventurer guild.

When we open the door to the guild, the others look at us, and I can hear their whisper.

"It is them. The Six Stars Party."

"They are just done conquering a dungeon, right?"

"Yes. Two days ago. As expected from an A-rank class adventurer and S-rank party."

Right. They call our party the Six Stars because many adventurers see me casting my buff and attacking spells that look like stars. Because of that, the people started to call that instead of the name I wrote when we were in Ulian City.

Oh well, there is nothing I can do about it. People will be people, and I cannot change the name they give to our party. At least it is a great name.

We ignore the people whispering at us and walk to the receptionist.

"Ah, Gwyn! What can I do for you?"

Lord Benham kept his promise of ensuring that my real identity was not leaked to let me and my companion enjoy our vacation. People know me as Gwyn, the A-rank adventurer and the leader of the Six Stars party.

"Hello, Anna. We want to increase the challenge."

"Hmmm? What do you mean? Wait! Don’t tell me..."

"We want to take an S-rank mission, the hunting one if you can."

"Are you sure? Are you sure you can handle it? It will be a shame to lose a promising adventurer like you guys."

I smile at her and say

"Don’t worry, Anna. We discuss it together, and we want to try. Don’t worry. We have something that will let us run away if the situation gets worse. We are even willing to pay for the failure."

Anna hesitates for a second before releasing a sigh.

"Very well. Wait a second."

I nod and wait for her to come back. After a few seconds of waiting, she came back with a piece of parchment. She puts the parchment on the table and says.

"There is a sandworm monster that blocks the important trade route to the other territory in the west. If you do not want to use the mountain route, it is the only route to take. Because of this monster, the trade route takes a huge hit. We are now too dependent on the river route. Lord Rezghi is the one putting on this mission, and he will reward anyone who can kill this monster."

I nod and say.

"Can you tell me about this monster?"

"Of course. It is a gigantic sandworm. The report states it is fifty meters long and five meters wide. Its skin can block normal swords, spears, axes, arrows, or any kind of weapon. Magic weapons have an effect on it, but it is not the reason this creature is an S-rank. It reached the S-rank because of its ability to swim inside the sand and control the sand to a monstrous degree. We are lucky that we are located in the rocky desert instead of the sand desert where it makes a nest."

"I see. It is to make a nest in the sand desert, huh? The place with a lot of sand dunes and the like."

"Yes. You can imagine how powerful that monster will be. Using this ability, it can control sand that can destroy a city, and this monster has already destroyed the nearby village. Are you sure you still want to take the mission? This one will be deadly, you know? While dungeon diving is sometimes more dangerous than an S-rank mission, this is different. This is truly a dangerous S-rank mission."

I smile at Anna and say.

"Don’t worry, Anna. We will take the mission and will prepare."

"If you say so."

She sighs, stamps the parchment, and gives it to me. I nod and give my thanks. We are walking back to our home. We need to prepare for the Raid Boss.
