Chapter 204: About to be Wanted
Thurber was seating in front of the house and waiting for Rein to arrive, he was waiting with a really sad face, since Rein was the one that should be training him, however for the past seven days Rein had not been around.
However not too long he saw Rein coming from afar, he ran and screamed with joy and jump on Rein, but Jihi got interrupted before he could land into Reinard’s arm, she landed there first, however Rein still caught him and placed him on the floor.
"Huh? Who is this pink-hair brat?" Thurber said.
’Who is calling Who brat’ Reinard thought.
Jihi put out her tongue to Thurber.
"Let’s go Thurber, our second session is going to be today"
"But Master, you did not tell me about how you beat the goblins, did you go bam bam and bang bang bang like that time"
"...it wasn’t much bam bam and bang bang bang after that time" Rein said to him as they walked.
"Awwh man, you are lying, why did you now send me back home with that weird guy"
"Weird guy?"
"Yes! The guy that looks like you but has scary black eyes, he wouldn’t stop talking about the things you all have done together, it was tiring to just hear stories, I’m not a fan of stories."
’...hmm I guess someone has been bluffing one moment he was out’ Huemac voice rang in Rein’s head but Godeye just kept his silence. Rein smiled and finally dropped Jihi when they reach the front of Thurber’s house.
"Is your dad at home?"
"Of course no, he went to the city with mom and Khelfa to sell the farm products"
"Oh, I see..."
"And not only did the goblins stop coming but monsters have all evacuated this area, all the neighbors were really thankful to father thinking he was the one that did it, but father promised to introduce to them the person later."
"Ah... I would rather not... since I don’t like being in the light"
"...uh,? Aren’t you in the light now?" Thurber said.
"It’s an phrase for saying I don’t like attention"
"Oh, I see... I didn’t have the opportunity to go to a school like other kids, who go to schools and become scholars, mage, fighters or swordsmen."
"Do you want to go to school?" Rein asked him.
"But if I go to school I won’t be able to learn from you anymore"
"You can, on holidays and when you are done with school I can always teach you"
"Really...?" Thurber’s eye lit up.
"Yes"
Jihi dragged Rein’s clothe, "me too...school"
"Haha, Jihi too wants to go to school?", ’this is rather hard, how am I sure she won’t annihilate the whole school the moment anyone angers her’
"That’s true, we can go together and I will be her older brother in school" Thurber said.
Rein stared at Thurber.
"What? Can’t I be her older brother?"
’She’s literally as old as your ancestor, how can you be her older brother, it’s not like I can tell him, she’s 422’
{In a sense, she’s twelve}
"She’s twelve, you are eleven Thurber"
"Eh? And she’s so short? And so-"
"Don’t..." Rein interrupted him, ’control your tongue and save your life kid’
"Well, I will discuss this with your father, for now let’s train" Reinard said to him.
"Yes Master" He replied happily.
************************
"Pashar, the guild master request a feedback of the dungeon you visited with your party members. It’s been two weeks, you did not feel and you were even all the run. You know the guild master will not be taking it easy with you. Gold tag adventurers were sent there and they found nothing, the whole thing had crumbled and the only party that registered here to clear that dungeon was your party, now your party did not fill and a dungeon of gold is crumbled what other choices did you give the guild"
"Patience, I swear I did not even near that dungeon. We had an accident along the way, the Tenki tribe was murdered, a man attacked us." Pashar replied with trembling voice.
"That does not explain a reason as to why the dungeon was already cleared."
"It must have been the new guy, Reinard. He must have been the one, he was part of the party but he betrayed us, he must have ditched us to take the dungeon alone.
Patience, a disciplinary officer of the guild scoffs, so did her underlings. "Pashar, you and I know this dungeon can not be cleared without a sacrifice, we ranked it C because despite having no dangers one person jas to sacrifice their life. And moreover Reinard wasn’t registered as a part of your party. Yet you claim you went with him. Why is that?"
Pashar went silent.
"Answer me Pashar!!" Patience shouted at him, slamming his head on the ground. Pashar was already in a mess the moment Pashar had started her interrogation. As a rule of the guild every loot had to be submitted and the guild would decide what the adventurers receive, afterall the guild has a responsibility of paying every adventurers monthly, so it was more like the adventurers were working for the guild, getting paid and even receiving spoils, to want to run away with the loot will mean greed from the guild’s point of view.
Patience stepped back, "strap him to the chair"
Pashar was immediately carried, sat on the chair and his hands, legs and chest were strapped to the chair.
"Now let’s start this again Pashar, where is the gold?" She takes a burning rod and stuck it into his nose.
"Aaaaaargggggghhhhhhh....!!!!" Pashar let out a loud scream.
"You can cry for all I care, what will make me stop is your answers, even if you are near death I will have them heal you and we shall start all over again"
She continues to torture Pashar.
After a while Patience storms into the guild Master’s office, "we need to find this person named Reinard. One thing I’m sure about is the gold isn’t with Pashar"
"Hmm, if you say so scary old hag. You can organize a search party and do that right? You don’t have to come to me..."
"No"
"What?" The guildmaster asked with a more interested expression.
"Place a bounty on him?"
"Pfft, absurd why will I?"
"If all that Pashar said is true, we must find this guy" she said with a serious torn.
"You make me laugh Patience, what did Pashar say?"
"He’s a graduate of Mancraa..."
The guildmaster immediately sat up, "Huh?"
"And he is faster than Telimon"
"That’s... that’s... it’s not making sense, Telimon is a half ixalan, half human which is why his speed is understandable, for there to be anyone stronger..."
"That’s not just it, the black armored knights, remember the incident at the border, two months ago"
"The one that we were attacked by those black knights when we were supposed to transport a secret good, the one that caused a huge damage how could I forget?" The guildmaster said.
"Yes, that day, not anyone of us could land a hit on one of those guys, especially the guy using a spear."
"Yes I remember Patience just go straight to the point"
"Pashar’s report says, they were attacked by a huge guy with a spear, his spear seems to be a legendary-class treasure but this guy Rein easily defeated him with bare hands"
"That makes absolutely no sense" the guildmaster said, "you can’t defeat someone with a legendary class treasure with bare hands?"
"Which is why you need to put a bounty on him, if he truly is the one that took the gold, we might be dealing with someone in real sense we can’t actually deal with" Patience said.
"How much?" The guild master asked, while grabbing his pen and a paper.
"Enough to attract even the platinum tag adventurers"
"Wait are you thinking of luring Telimon and Randar into this?"
"Why not, they are the best, and luckily they were not there that night, so we can’t say for sure if they would have been powerless against those Knights too"
"Okay, but I really hope, this guy is worth the value you are giving him"
"Actually I hope he’s not, it will make things alot more easier for me" Patience took the paper from the guildmaster’s table and walked out.
He watched her as she stepped out, ’I wonder how an old hag like that manage to still be sexy from behind... blehh, she’s too vicious don’t even think about it... eii but to think a guy that would agitate her this much would appear, tsk, he’s so dead’
