A Nostalgic Place

“I can’t believe you left me behind, Alia. Me! Your mentor!” Viro groused. “Anyway, a scout arrived on horseback just after you left. He had news about the situation, so I took advantage of the chaos and slipped out too. But you should stay away from this town’s guild for a while. Also, I got the payment for your aethercrystals.”

“Thanks for that.”

So it had turned into an even bigger hassle after all. Still, I couldn’t have left without saying anything, so I’d wanted to at least deliver the basic info before letting everyone else handle the rest. Fortunately, it sounded like the scout who’d been in the smaller town had been competent, since he’d rushed over to deliver a report on the orcs’ annihilation.

“Sounds like the baron and the guild will have a lot to deal with in the near future,” I mused.

“You say that like you had nothing to do with it! But, well, this beats a direct confrontation with the orcs, at least.”

Baron Horus couldn’t halt the deployment of the soldiers sent by his liege and other noble families based on the adventurers’ report alone, so he’d probably have to urgently send some of his men to confirm the information. Once they did, the deployment would need to be canceled, but some amount of compensation would still be required. Nevertheless, as Viro had said, it was still better than an orc attack on the town endangering the lives of civilians and soldiers alike.

“Anyway, let’s go over our plans for now,” Viro suggested as we waited at Galvus’s smithy.

“All right.”

Viro was supposed to have led the attack on the orcs, but that was no longer necessary. Still, he’d been asked to remain in town until the baron’s soldiers could verify the reports, which was expected to take about a week. I wasn’t at full strength, and Viro was going to pick up another comrade of his, so we decided we’d meet in three months’ time in the capital of the Duchy of Helton, located in western Claydale.

The delay could potentially give Graves the chance to move to a different location. Viro told me that in that event, he’d leave messages for me at the Adventurers’ Guilds in major cities like Dandorl.

Three months would give me enough time to visit Cere’zhula...

“So this request, it’s from that one organization, then?” I asked to be sure.

Viro, with an unusually serious expression, folded his arms lightly. “You’re still wary of them, huh? Look, we don’t know why Graves betrayed them, but they didn’t order your assassination. They have no reason to. No one’s sure why Graves attacked you in the first place.”

“He said back then that nobles were interested in me, and that I’d gotten too close to the royal family. What did he mean by that?” The part about the royal family likely had something to do with Elena. But what of the nobles? Was one of my blood relatives still looking for me?

“I have no idea. Sera might know, though.
