Spirit User Manual

The Rain

Adventurers and information guilds have had an inseparable relationship from ancient times.

He'll do it, too. Among the tasks the adventurer has, there are simple quests such as monster hunting and escort, but there are many complex quests that are not easily resolved.

It was the information guild that was needed to solve such a quest.

Preliminary information was of great help in almost every request, as well as missions to find missing persons or pursue criminals.

So, if there are a lot of adventurers, the information guilds would gather everywhere.

Because of this, many of the large and well-known information guilds were located in the capital, the center of the kingdom.

That's why Loen returned to the capital city without worrying about the rocky mountain village.

“Recently, if there is a spirit stone around the capital, there are only items that were listed a day ago. It seems that the disposition has not been done yet because the price is not right.”

“Then do you know who was trying to sell it?”

“It’s a bit expensive from here… … .”

"I do not care."

Loen said to a guild member who was getting motivated.

The remuneration received from the village was substantial, so it didn't matter to some extent if the money broke.

In the first place, it was the money I received in exchange for properly solving the problem with Mastus, so I couldn't waste it in a place like this.

“The name on the ledger is Leeman, but… Apparently, it is one of the pseudonyms that Blecker uses on the black market.”

“Brecker… … ?”

Loen's impressions frowned.

He was a risky figure who mainly acts as a robbery, head of a group of bad-quality thieves, and a bounty seeker with quite a bit of money on his neck.

As if passing by among the numerous quest lists, I knew nothing more than this because it was all I saw.

However, as expected, it was not an easy opponent.

“Where is he?”

“Are you trying to follow it yourself? It would be dangerous for a yellow plaque to come out because it's a pretty strong bounty hunter?”

"That's what I'll do on my own."

“Well, that’s right.”

The guild member smiled and nodded.

Their meeting is nothing but a simple deal.

Whatever the buyers who bought the information, it wasn't easy to know if the price was right.

“Blecker and his g**g are mainly active near the southern gateway. They are working with a base in the back alley of Rodern, a small and medium-sized city nearby. Lately, we got caught up in expanding our business, but they're very cautious, so we don't have any more information.”

“That’s enough.”

I couldn't get to a very specific place, but even this was enough performance beyond my expectations.

Even if it was expensive, it was rewarding to visit the information guild, which was renowned for being resourceful.

"Then, let's live and see you again."

Loen, who got up from the seat without a word, left the room after paying the price.

Then Feria, who was waiting blankly leaning against the wall, approached him.

“Is the story over?”

"okay. The performance is also clear.”

Loen nodded with a relaxed expression.

The money was a bit broken, but the remuneration I received in the village was a fairly large amount, so there was nothing to lose.

Having seen all their business, they moved toward the staircase among the crowded people.

The place where they came up was on the fourth floor, and on the side, the halls on the lower floor and the hall on the first floor were clearly overlooked.

The circumstances of the information guilds hiding in the shabby basement of the building and in the shade have been a long time since it has been a very distant thing.

“I suddenly got a little messy?”

“Well, yeah… … .”

They felt strange at the noise of the flirting people.

It was as if anything had happened, and Loen looked downstairs with her head toward the railing.

Then, I could see everyone in the hall looking at only one person.

“This is the big guy appeared.”

“What are you doing here?”

A female adventurer with long black hair.

Regardless of the information guild's staff and customers, everyone who discovered her was amazed and fluttered.

And it was the same with Loen.

“That person… … .”

“What, who is it?”

“Iona, I’m a black adventurer with only four people on the continent.”

Loen spoke and swallowed gulp.

The feeling of overbearing just by watching from a distance.

Apparently, there was only one woman standing in the middle, but it felt as if there was a shadow of a giant in the back.

'Even if I've ever seen a purple plaque... I can't even measure it at my level right now.'

If you are a purple adventurer made up of outstanding talents and veterans, Loen was also surprised to see them fighting.

However, from the next and fourth stage, the red plaque, even such a purple plaque was known to be a completely different dimension.

Monsters that can cut large monsters and giants alone, and destroy all kinds of named monsters.

The adventurers of the red and blue tiles had a strength far beyond common sense.

However, what was standing in front of him now was beyond even those monsters.

Those who go beyond common sense and even beyond the human category.

'I've heard many stories, but it's the first time I've seen them.'

In a situation where people's eyes were focused, even Loen was looking at her with longing eyes.

The long sword in the waist, the light scars around the eyes, and the cold-looking atmosphere. It was exactly what the rumors heard.

She is a personal adventurer who works without a guild to which she belongs, and it was very rare for a talented adventurer.

Of course, if you had that skill, the guild wasn't really important.

"exactly… The momentum is great.”

Even Peria, who was standing next to him, admitted it.

There was no difference this time, even if I saw it with the gaze of that tricky spirit.

The adventurers of the black suit were already far beyond the human category.

It was natural that other races who regarded humans as funny were treated as being different from humans at all.

“Certainly, if that guy is a contractor, it wouldn't look ridiculous anywhere.”

“Would you like to go and sign a contract? I won't hold onto it.”

“Oh, no. That doesn't sound like that!”

Between Loen and Feria talking.

“This is this way.”

As one of the strongest prosecutors in the kingdom came in, the staff were guiding Iona with sweat.

After hearing the news, the master of the information guild was running out saying that he was going to come out himself, but it took a little time until then.

“… … ?”

But, as she passed the crowd with a blunt expression, she suddenly stopped in her seat.

Then he turned his head and turned his gaze upward.

Iona's gaze, frowning around her eyes, turned to the fourth floor, and made her eye contact with Loen.

'Huh… ?'

Loen, who was stopped, stiffened in place.

At first, I thought it was a mistake.

However, Iona kept staring at him.

No matter how much I thought it wasn't in my head, this was a level I had to notice unless I was really an i***t.

“It suddenly stopped?”

“What are you looking at?”

'Ugh!'

As the eyes of others began to follow her gaze, Loen leaned out and disappeared.

I didn't want to get unnecessary attention in a place like this.

'What the hell is... … ?'

Loen, who was quite surprised, was embarrassed.

There is nothing wrong with doing something, and why is there a reason such a big guy will look at himself suddenly?

When the voices of the gossiping people ceased, he gently raised his head again and looked down.

Iona, who had already noticed her gaze, was walking along with the guild leader's guidance who ran out with tabi feet.

“What, did you two know?”

“… Could it have been?”

For some reason, Loen didn't understand the English language even after he had completely exited the building.

* * *

Loen, who returned to his full-time job with an unforgettable brief happening behind, headed to the city of information.

It wasn't too far from the capital, so it didn't take long to move.

Seriously, after several times of meditation, the carriage arrived.

There was definitely nothing like this to melt time.

In any case, Loen, who entered the city like that, sought out information and gathered information.

It was my first time chasing a criminal like this, but I didn't struggle in the process of chasing.

It's because he didn't have a talent for swordsmanship, but as an adventurer, he was more skilled in this way.

'I said it was around.'

Loen, who entered a deep back alley in the city, looked carefully around.

There was a certain location right around here that I found out by handing some money to the informant.

“Okay, I found it.”

A small c***k in the wall that was covered with abandoned furniture.

Loen found a hidden entrance and stepped inside with delight.

As much as entering the rogue's retreat, Peria caught up right behind him in preparation for a battle.

However, the only thing they faced inside was an empty and messy space.

“What, it looks like there's no one inside?”

“… Are you out there? Well, it's better. Let's do a quick search before anyone comes in.”

Loen began scouring the rooms.

Anyway, his goal was not to wipe out the thief, but to recover the stolen Spirit Stone.

However, the interior of the retreat was already neatly organized.

Beyond hiding important items, it seemed like an abandoned place that only useless items remained.

From the traces, it seemed to have been cleared up at least a few days ago.

Thump thump thump!

There was a sound of a person coming down from the entrance that came in.

It was also not one, but many.

“If you don’t want to die, get on your knees!”

Threung!

Six bandits attacked at once and drew their weapons.

Loen is surrounded by the entrance blocked.

'Did you dig a trap in reverse?'

Loen's movement seems to have already entered their ears, as if he already knew it at the correct timing.

As it was around the hiding place where he was active, he had several people in it.

They are three times the difference of just two.

In general, a fight without odds was right.

Unless there was a spirit on one side.

'What are you going to do? Can I kill you?'

'No, I came to guide you at best, but you don't have to.'

It was obvious that it would be hard to find the place where Blecker, their leader, was hiding.

But now, fortunately, guides appear to take you to where he is.

Loen quietly raised her arms.
