I just smiled and give her 1 gold coin and left the shop with the books. The next stop is the adventurer guild. I quickly left the book shop and proceed to Adventurer Guild.As expected, the establishment and guild itself are a bit the same as what the anime portrayed. They have a section for the cafeteria, a lounge area to relax, a waiting area for applicants, and a wide board where different missions are posted.I better sit and observe for now. After sitting in the secluded part I get myself a newspaper I noticed on the table.I pretend to read while eavesdropping on the nearby group of people talking.“Didn’t you hear the news? The empire is scheming with demons!”“Shhh! Lower your voice, someone from the empire might hear you, although we are safe inside the guild there is no assurance if we are outside.”“I heard the empire pretending to invade the Fyn Kingdom but their real goal is to conquer the Narva Kingdom.”“Every nation wants to conquer the Narva Kingdom so it’s not that

I do not know what came over me but to offer something to help them overthrow the current emperor is a big gamble. I may risk our life mostly Elena, if ever that girl named Celeste is secretly working in the empire and just pretending against them in front of me. Though it’s a gamble, I made sure to make a counter plan if she was indeed working secretly with the empire. Before I left, we prepared two copies of the rune page using the hidden text and burned the original and we both keep one copy. *Sigh What’s done is done. But there are things to be glad at. I learned a piece of very helpful information about the empire. The mayor openly opposed the emperor and how to make a weapon and armor endowed with rune magic. I get excited knowing that the steel I manufactured which is a thousand times stronger than iron can be improved again with rune magic. But since it is just a lesser type, it is safe to say the dwarves have different types of rune magic from weakest to strongest. I a

“Since everyone is here, this is a good thing to share the information you gathered.” Crown princeHis elegance returned and the atmosphere of seriousness shrouded us.“I learned two things. First about the person who openly opposed the emperor on his quest on invading the Fyn Kingdom and the Narva kingdom.”“That person is the current mayor in Auburn City. He let his subject citizen freely talk about it. I think he is planning to start the rebellion against the empire. I didn’t meet the mayor in person so I can’t say for sure if we can offer him a proposition to help us but I met her daughter which led to the second and most important information I learned.”I surveyed everyone’s reaction and continue. Some of them gulped and although the crown prince pretending not to care and yet his yes show anticipation.“I learned how to make weapon and shield endowed with rune magic.”That short sentence dropped like a powerful bomb that made them all stand up including the crown prince.I can’

Five days passed quickly and Jin accompanied by Bea, Robert and Selene arrived just outside Auburn City. Celeste dropped her bag along with her knees to the ground when she saw the damaged and destroyed gate and walls of her hometown. Bea helps Selene to get back on her feet and gives her some words of encouragement. I cannot blame Selene, she was born and raised here. Anyone will get mad if their hometown was destroyed and the friends they made were killed. The travel should only last for two days but since they are on a mission to secretly enter the auburn city again, they need to use another route to avoid spies and suspicions. It will take them five days before they arrive in the city due to the detour. Jin felt angered in his heart when the glorious gate protecting the citizen was relentlessly destroyed. Jin blames himself internally and a very small amount of mana is distorted on his hand which Bea and Robert noticed. Did I just make the wrong decision? We should have preven

Inside the mayor’s residence, a person in the library is currently reading a thick book covered in dust and a spider web.Auburn City was once a free state but when the first great war broke out, it becomes under the rule of the Ruel Empire when Celeste’s ancestor asks for the help of the empire back then. As payment, they will give authority to the emperor over the city but the traditions and laws that were practiced for hundreds of years will not be changed and no laws should be removed or added. And only the bloodline of Silverstein will inherit the mayor position. According to the book, the auburn city is as old as the ancient city of dwarves and elves. But the continuous renovation removes the proof that this city was built during ancient times.I learned a lot of information after interrogating the enemy I spotted earlier. He told me about the empire’s plans on the city and the beast which is the werewolf.The empire wants to unearth the secret left behind in this city. The kni
