After arriving at a street corner, we decided to stay there. Although it was a distance from the port, we tried our best to find a hotel where we could see the sea from the window, just to meet Katya's request.
From here, you can also see cargo ships departing from the port every day, sailing into the distance with the wind at their backs. Sailing against the wind doesn't make things difficult, since there's someone on the crew who can use wind magic, so changing the wind direction is a piece of cake.
After paying the rental fee for the dragon carriage, we arrived at the Adventurers' Guild. After all, we needed to gather information, so this place was still inaccessible.
Although no one knows who invented the Adventurers' Guild, it is very convenient to use, and almost every town has one, with all sorts of people in it.
Unlike "Robertia", "Port Luca" is a human settlement. Although you can encounter all sorts of strangely dressed people along the way, there are no guys with pig brains or horse hooves.
Even creatures like Lilith with fluffy ears or long, thin tails are nowhere to be seen; this is a port city truly inhabited by humans.
The Adventurers' Guild's architecture and style remained unchanged, situated between the commoners' and nobles' quarters, and featuring double doors that emitted a wailing sound when pushed open from the outside.
Bang!
At that moment, a loud bang came from the gate. We were the ones standing at the gate, and everyone in the guild turned their attention to us.
"Hey... Lilith, Mingming..."
"What are you looking at!"
Lilith remained as carefree and confident as ever, showing no signs of dejection or arrogance despite losing an arm, nor did she appear discouraged by the unnatural stares.
"ah……"
I sighed. Even though we've come to the Adventurers' Guild, please don't forget that we're wanted by the authorities.
While cross-border crimes are generally not directly punishable unless they are particularly serious, the Adventurers' Guild is different. In order to collect the bounty, some adventurers will act as bounty hunters and escort criminals to that country.
However, unless a huge arrest warrant is issued, generally no one would choose to pay attention to it. After all, it is a transnational matter, and who would have the time to do something so thankless?
Fortunately, it seemed that some people in the restaurant were loudly discussing some kind of commissioned information. Only a few people were attracted by the noise and, under Lilith's reprimand, they all lowered their heads and went about their business, not daring to look over.
"Um... hello, are there any places nearby that make mechanical prostheses?"
I walked straight to the front desk, where a woman who looked to be in her early twenties was wearing a long red dress, a guild emblem on her chest, her hair neatly combed, and a smile always on her face.
It's worth mentioning that she actually has breasts that are comparable to Sylvie's! This made my gaze unconsciously drawn to her while I was asking her questions.
You have to understand that along the way, only the front desk staff of "Melocas" can compare to Sylvie. However... that person is a demi-human, and even has three large breasts. Although it is shocking, she is not human!
"Wait a moment, little brother."
The receptionist seemed to be compiling some kind of data, so she didn't have time to help us find a place that makes prosthetics.
I stood obediently in front of the counter and waited. Uh... to be honest, these breasts really look like they were created by magic. Even if you knead them with your hands every day, you probably couldn't achieve this.
However, the receptionist didn't notice my intense gaze. After all, I was just a boy who looked about ten years old in front of her, and her upward gaze didn't seem unusual.
While organizing the materials, her large breasts would sway in the direction of the older sister, making it impossible for me to look away.
"My Lord! Oh! This must be the guidance of the gods!"
Of course... although it's a prayer to a deity, it's not a "human god" or anything like that.
"Hmm... is this a request to make prosthetic limbs?"
About ten minutes later, the receptionist finally looked at Lilith. After all, in front of us, Lilith seemed more like a guardian, so she didn't look at me and Katya.
"It's not about issuing a commission, it's just about inquiring about places that can make prosthetics."
Since the question was directed to Lilith, I naturally wouldn't strike up a conversation out of nowhere, so I switched the question to Lilith instead of the receptionist.
Lilith, who had been in the guild for several years, seemed to realize that posting a quest through the guild actually cost more magic crystals, since the guild wanted to profit from the difference, thus inflating the price considerably.
"Is that so? Just turn left after you exit the alley. There's a shop there that specializes in crafting equipment. The owner is a dwarf, so you can rest assured."
Unlike stall owners who peddle their wares, she still enthusiastically gave us directions even though we weren't there to accept or post commissions. She also explained in detail that the shop was run by dwarves, so we could rest assured.
"Hmm...dwarves? They seem quite trustworthy!"
I know very well how exquisite the dwarves' craftsmanship is, and from Sylvie's adventure stories, the dwarves are a very simple and kind race. Even if they can't pay the corresponding price, they will still do their best to create handicrafts that satisfy you. Compared to those humans who only extort money from children for their fares, they are indeed a very trustworthy race.
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to the receptionist, we turned and left the guild. However, I didn't notice that a middle-aged man with a full beard was sitting drunk in the corner of the restaurant. If I had shifted my gaze even slightly, I would have recognized him instantly, because he was the one I had been longing for...
Ahem, that's all for now. By now, you've probably guessed who this so-called middle-aged man is. Please allow me to keep you in suspense for now, and I'll tell you all about it later.
