So, during the time I was shouting every day, "Explode! Reality! Shatter! Spirit! Banish this world, liberate the darkness that has appeared, and guide the final king's power through the void to the end of the world, the Evil King's True Eye! — "Banishiment this world!" while trying to control my Mystic Eye.
Lilith and Katya would occasionally go out together, with Julius also there. However, the two of them would return almost every day drenched in sweat, while Julius would appear nonchalant, though it was clear he was sweating a bit.
It's understandable that Katya is sweating because she's participating in an adventure quest, but wasn't Lilith planning to get to know the guild and gather information?
Why do I sweat while gathering intelligence? And every single day?
Could it be that the information gathering she mentioned is something like getting a hole-in-one in golf?
No, no, no...
Lilith does seem carefree, but she probably wouldn't do something like that.
but……
It seems that Lilith has reached adulthood, so it's normal for her to have those kinds of needs.
"Lilith? Any news about Nighold?"
Anyway, with that in mind, I asked Lilith, who was wiping her body with a dry towel.
"Nighogd? Surprisingly, he's a good person."
Indeed, his reputation within the guild is quite influential. Almost every adventurer you ask will describe how reassuring and reliable Nighold is. At least, that's the information Lilith has gathered so far.
"Hmm...is that so?"
But often, even with people who seem almost perfect, I always feel like something's off, though I can't quite put my finger on it.
It seems I really need to make time to visit Nighold, this highly regarded A-rank adventurer.
But I don’t plan to visit him right now, since there’s something else I need to do: fulfill my promise to Yuna.
I didn't originally plan to have much interaction with this problem child who didn't leave a good impression on me after we participated in the battle against the desert dragon. However, after I fainted last time, I was fortunate enough to be saved by her and Da Ge Mu.
Therefore, even if he doesn't agree to Yuna's promise, he should at least pay her a visit to express his gratitude.
After greeting Lilith, I put on my robe and went out. Although it was the height of summer in "Robobia", I still habitually wore a robe, which was a symbol of a magician.
"By the way... we came from over there last time."
Once on the street, it was still bustling with traffic and people. As the capital of "Robobia", "La Noscia" did not seem particularly desolate.
Because the perspective of the Mystic Eyes was particularly distorted last time, and it was also under a hazy moonlight, I couldn't recall the inn where Yuna was staying the first time, but it shouldn't be too far from that alley.
So I decided to head to that street area and see if I could run into Yuna and the others.
Of course, I didn't plan to go into the alley; if I ran into some strange problem guy again, it would really be a double whammy.
I walked down the street, lost in thought.
After more than a month in La Noscia, this was the first time I'd ever strolled around the streets with this feeling.
The towering spires, city walls, and unique architectural style make it a beautiful sight to behold.
There were many stalls on both sides of the street. It seemed to be in a working-class area, so there were no independent shops, but just shelves that looked like dragon carts, with all kinds of goods and snacks on them.
The division between the commoners' and nobles' districts was not like that in Kylorans, where a large square was built and an alleyway separated the two areas, with the architectural styles completely different.
I didn't include the route in the noble district because I'm certain that Yuna's inn is in the commoner district.
The guild is located straight ahead on this street, between the commoners' and nobles' districts, which is a common construction method in all cities.
"Uh... we should turn left here, right?"
Following the route I remembered, I wandered the wide streets, without a specific direction, but I did have some kind of goal.
Hey! You little brat over there! Make way! Make way right now!
At that moment, a gantry truck will speed past me, carrying two men with fierce faces who will shout at me in a rough voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
I wisely moved to the side of the road, because being hit by a dragon carriage at that speed wouldn't just result in a simple scratch; it could easily send me to another world.
"What's going on...?"
In urban areas, vehicles like the dragon boat are generally subject to speed limits, and this dragon boat rushing about is undoubtedly speeding.
But I don’t intend to meddle, even in a poorly safe neighborhood, and I don’t want to cause trouble.
"Never mind... let's find Yuna first."
Just as I was about to continue walking forward with this thought in mind, the curtain covering the back of the dragon carriage was suddenly lifted open by the wind.
"That...that is..."
I could clearly see that about a dozen ragged children were huddled together in the carriage, with something like shackles around their necks. Among them were human children and a few orc children, which could be identified by their furry ears.
"Human traffickers!"
I never expected that besides "Kylorans", even "Robertia" would have such a despicable profession, and that it would be so rampant.
That said, I remember there were guards at the city gates, and all vehicles entering or leaving the city were inspected. If that's the case, why were human traffickers still able to enter the city, and in this way?
"Should we turn a blind eye?"
It seems that some countries do not pay much attention to the practice of selling children into slavery. They openly crack down on such transactions, but secretly they are completely indifferent.
Even in "Kelolans," they would make a big show of it in the city center, let alone in a small country like "Robobia."
"No...we absolutely cannot stand idly by."
Although I am not some saint who saves the world, I absolutely cannot tolerate watching these children become slaves and then be sold to those nobles with perverse tastes.
If I hadn't witnessed this kidnapping, all would have been fine, but since I've run into it, as someone on the side of justice, I have to step in to save them.
With that in mind, I secretly followed behind the dragon carriage.
