Ethons and Corina stare at this short older looking dwarf woman whose hair was at the stage of gray yet not by many as there is still color to be seen and there is a low amount of wrinkles to be seen on the face as this woman was still looking good.

She was looking at the two of them with such an immediate stare that made the both of them feel some chills on the back of their spine.

They just looked at each other till it was the dwarf woman to break off this weird silent staring contest with each other.

“Are ya going to just stand there like a dumb pig or are you two going to say something to answer my question, I ask the both of ya.”

“Oh…. right yes we are the new adventure who came to take on your quest in helping with the cleaning you need.”

Ethons took charge as the one to speak instead of Corina as she ended in a state of complete shyness at the highest level.

“Great, then let us get started wasting daytime standing around like lost children.”

    All three of them turn to stare at a fully armored short person walking themselves into the building that just got done cleaning by Ethons and Corina carrying a helmet by the side to show their face and the big ax attached to the back.This was another dwarf woman who had long orange hair tied up into a ponytail that goes straight down the back.There was a small scar on the right side of her face telling that it came from a quest that this dwarf girl took from whatever gave her that. "Oh, Duka my daughter you are done with adventuring already.”“Ya, the least quest wasn’t too hard to handle which wasn’t much fun.”Duka walks her way over to her mother and the two unknown strangers that were sitting at a table.“So what reason did you have to come over here then instead of going home.”“When I arrived back at the guild, I was informed by one of the employees about two recruits taking the cleaning job you made.”“Well I am glad that someone finally took it, I was close to giving these

    "Well here we are, this is the Inn that I stay in."Duka says to Ethons and Corina as the three of them stood before a big building with the sign of its name called 《The Beautiful Cauldron Inn》They left Eiru alone with her new clean future tavern to do a once-around Check on the place to make sure everything is in order."I get the feeling this place is quite popular among adventurers.""Ya don't get many inns that welcome adventurers because of the career they live in.""Why that Duka.""What you think adventuring has its ups and downs starting with the long absence of a quest that takes a lot of time. Not only that there is always the chance of an adventure coming back alive or none at all and that other Inns don't want to let one stay at their place because of that."After explaining that the dwarf girl makes her way inside, opening the door where all of them enter.It looked even more impressive like it was a classic Palance for high-class patrons."I am back and bought two new c

    Ethons didn't think that a question like that was going to be asked of him as he just showed a motionless expression on his face to the human older gentleman."Oh, my apologies for jumping straight into that. Maybe it's more that you have a liking toward the girl.""No! We are not a thing or I don't have a thing for her. I just wanted to do something nice for Corina and pay for the next month to help out."Harvey understands now from Ethons Explanation and felt that he needed to apologize to him."I see well my mistake then for asking a personal question like that to you. I hope that I have not overstepped.""No you didn't Harvey, so may I pay for that mouth then.”“Of course, I will make sure to write it after the payment is made, but I take it you don’t want the girl to know, or do you want her to know.” Ethons takes a minute to think about it and give an answer to the man.“No I don't, Corina doesn't need to worry about paying me back to bother her.”“Very well, I will just mark

    Ethons yells this being that he could not be able to look at everything while in the hallways.The girl forgot about that in her rage mode but hearing this male elf make the comment pointing it out did not help at all.Her embarrassment went up which means that anger increased as well and he got the feeling it wasn’t going to do him any good.She quickly makes a move using the other leg striking into an uppercut that a second later that Ethons head would have been removed from the body given how fast and strong the kick went up. He did at the time come to feel at least one or two of her toes that lightly touch under the chain.After that, Ethons had to bring himself away from this person. The best thing to do is run away at this point.Then again running would be even a chance to do against someone who looks completely pissed off.Besides, there wasn’t enough time to get away as she began to throw punches at high-level speed making it look like many fists were coming at him.Ethons

    "Corina… look I wanted to…. Apologies about what….""Ethons, please…. I really would like it if you don't talk about it this morning.”“I know I just thought to still say sorry and to at least make it clear, I had no intention of seeing you in that state.”“It's fine, I can tell you're not that type of person to do such things as a pervert would do.” Ethons and Corina walk the streets of Lindow among others that do the same to get where they need to be on this new day. Both at the time were feeling embarrassed about the incident this morning in the Corina room. “Besides that what was up with Harvey when we were leaving the Inn, he said something like ‘don’t forget about your repayment to the damages’ was what the man said.”“Oh, that's right, well that's because there was a misunderstanding that happened in the morning in the bathroom.” Ethons explain that the first incident with the girl till reaching the front of the guild door before any of the two had the chance to open th

    Fern gave out a quick answer and her two companions looked to be a little surprised by the respondents. Philip scratched one side of his cheek for a bit then opened his mouth to speak.“So any particular reason that you are saying no Fern.”“Does there have to be a reason behind me saying no?”“Actually yes if you're rejecting them from joining our group then there has to be a reason for it that your friends could understand.”“She could join us, but the elf, he can not get a bad feeling about him.”Philip and Olen both look at Ethons now, the certain attention on this table wondering about this bad feeling their friend had against the elf as these feelings she has at times come to be true especially when it is a bad one.“Yeah sorry, but if Fern said she got a bad feeling about you then, I got to listen 'cause this girl here saved my life by such a thing.”“I have to agree as well her gut feelings always had come in our need when on quests. Yet she did say that the girl could join us

    Ethons turned his head to the side to see it was the female Were-rabbit Della who was not working at the front desk at the moment."Oh Della, nice to see you, did you just come in for work?""Yeah, I just walked inside the place and couldn't help noticing you and Fern were talking. An interesting sight to see since she is someone that doesn't interact with other members besides the only ones she is in a group with.” "Ah yeah well our conversation was just about a misunderstanding back at the adventure Inn."Della's rabbit-like ears peek up, seeming to have the skillful sense that something good and interesting must have happened as a smile appeared on her face, meaning someone who likes to hear about it. "Oh please do tell me what that misunderstanding could have been," Della asked Ethons without wasting time grabbing a chair and sitting near him with both her hands holding that same face. “There is no reason to talk about it again as I don’t want to.” “Come on Ethons can’t leave

    Guillermo brings up the main reason for the quest he created back at the guild and for Ethons and Corina being in the cabin.“Yeah is the reason you requested this, meaning there is a plant you want us to gather for you to be far from here or danger,” Ethons asked the questions.“None at all, to be honest, I’m quite good just dealing with a lot of orders coming for my potions that can help with types of issues and would need a hand with making them to speed up the process while the other goes to collect the materials for the plant that, I’m out of right now at the moment.”“Wait, I thought we were just going to collect plants,” Corina said, a little confused about this new information. Guillermo laughed a little as he rubbed the back of his head looking to be embarrassed.“Yes at first that was the idea, but it looks to be, I have overstepped by thinking, I could handle so much yet it's the opposite and I need a hand on that. I was hoping that 2 starting adventures would be willing t

    Bernard plays off to being hurt by mayor Greg's words, but he and even the assistant Catalina buy it not for a one-second look at him as if he was a foolish jester trying to play off a bad joke told at the time.“Alright, fine guess acting is also something I can not do well at either, but anyway Greg let's not talk about it here just let it go and trust me.”“Bernard now isn’t the right or even a good time to start playing games here with me. A serious matter we are talking about and I don’t like to be kept in the dark on what you're trying to hide from me.” Gerg says as he gets a mean look on his face telling that he is serious. “It seems there is no point in continuing your bad acting, sir. I think to be best we are discussing this full truth and no games or lies are understood.” Catalina voices her as well.This shows that Bernard was out to match as there were two against one at the time which he had no interest in fighting against. “ Fine, then what do you want to know, Greg.”

    As the demi-human Neol was about to snake his way away from the three after all that happened. He sees hanging around them could be not good for him given what this person does for a living.“You best keep what you say to yourself to understand.” The dwarf Duka said to him as she could tell of his movements away from them.“But of course, it is the least thing for me to start trouble for too.” Neol plays it off showing her a smile.*scoff* Duka didn’t believe it, but won’t push any further being that there is something far more important to deal with someone like him.“Alright, then you all take care,” Neol says as his steps go faster and it is soon seen him getting completely away from them.Now just Ethons, Corina, and Duka who each won’t or can’t say a word to each other. After seconds the dwarf was the one to start moving forward and at the same time spoke to the other two. “Let go we got a place to be that will do for us to have this talk at.”****************《Eiru tavern》The d

    Ch 63: Hiding the truth

    Corina close to death opened her eyes to see the mouth of the dragon open wide pausing right there before closing onto the girl's body. She took deep breaths in her state of great relief to be alive, taking the chance at stepping back a few steps to get away from the mouth, being that the creature could still close it at any moment.Then the dragon resumed moving again pulling back the head as it began to look upward to the sky where at that moment a roar shook the earth and attacked the ear of those in the area.They come to witness something strange happening to the dragon as its whole body went up in flames and they can feel the heat blazing at them that any closer anyone could get burned by the touch. When the flames blew away and whatever was left to be Ethons the elf lay on the ground in the very same spot as the dragon. He took not long in awakening, opening his eyes slowly and getting up at the same time.“Look like we did it to bring it back under control.”Ethons says to

    Ethons says judging from his tone he wasn’t in a happy mood about finally hearing the dragon's voice again more so to see with his two eyes again as well when the creature comes down leading on the same rock he is on.Powerful wind and dust blew against the elf who had to endure it for about seconds till it came to be over.“You shouldn't even be here Ethons we are not supposed to be meeting like this as I never wanted it to happen.” “Well that hurts to hear that from you and here I am only wanting to talk with you again after all these 10 Mordos. There is much to discuss that needs to be answered.”“You must understand this shouldn’t have ever happened, our souls must have never come to be one together.” Ethons didn’t like to hear this from the dragon. It hurts that he feels regret about saving his life by doing that ritual to do so. “Look what is done, we can't do anything about it, sorry that you feel that way about it, but let's just move on from it.”“You don’t get it, the b

    Ch 61: Realm of the two souls

    It was impressive for the guild master to feel such pain at this level again after such a long time. In a sense, Bernard was starting to enjoy the sensation of making him alive again in the mindset of a battle. "I must thank you for bringing back such a feeling to me, I have been out of the game of fighting with such a dangerous opponent again. I honestly can’t remember the last one, I face how sad that is to be.” Bernard uses the right hand placing it over the wound where the light shines from the palm of that hand showing the wound beginning to heal within short seconds. The same can be said for the dragon given that a creature such as this has the high value of healing of its own. This makes Dragons difficult to slay, more so to wound one greatly as that can not be done without a legendary weapon or a very powerful spell that matters. “There that has been taken care of now guess we can resume back into the fight don’t you agree.” A roar was given as the answer for him to hear

    Ch 60: High resistance to Magic

    Bernard began to cast a spell to use against the dragon in front of him, one that he plans not to pick to do the most harmful damage on this creature as it surely will not hold back either.First, he plans to cast a spell that will hold the enemy in place to buy time for him and then enhance himself can’t just fight on this way for long going to need buffs on this fight.“Ethereal Ice Chain” Ice shot out of Bernard had soon formed into chains that grabbed and warped around the large body of the dragon.Sadly doing this will not take effect for long against a dragon being a creature that has a high-level resistance to magic and this will come to a short end. “Ogres' Courage.” That is what the guild master cast as the feeling of courage like an Ogre feeling brave like never before starting to care not of who is being faced at this moment.Now at the time, the ice chains break by the forces of the dragon proving how strong these creatures are among those that can resist magic.The guild

I mean whatever it over there should be the very thing to stand away from.""Who the hell are ya again."Duka said while getting back onto her two feet turning around to face Neol."You gotta be joking, you ask that now after leaving that dungeon and running for this long.""Just tell me ya name don't need to hear you bitching at me.""It's Neol if you really must know.""Neol you say you feel like, I have heard of that name before and that there was a rumor about something someone like yourself has done."When Duka said that it began to worry the demi-human Neol as he didn't like"Are you two alright not hurt are you.""Relax Corina, no need to worry if no one has come to be harmed just lose our footing."Neol let out a sigh of relief witnessing the dwarf girl's attention mo

    Ch 58: Dragonquaker

    The guild master put out a hand to the side open as something quickly appeared, a weapon to be that of a lance which got grabbed right away into that same hand. “Alright old friend, it seems you are going to be used again. Dragonquaker has been a time since you had a great fight and kill at that.” Those adventurers there were amazed at the Lace the guild master had summoned to his side. There have been stories that he had collated powerful legendary weapons from the past at the time the guild master was once an adventurer like them.None at the guild ever had the chance to witness one of those legendary ever since Bernard became guild master. There was never a reason to use his legendary weapons again once taking up the job. Today one of those gets to live that feeling of action again after being put away for a long time. “As I said before all of you stay out of this any of you who get in the way will feel my wrath.” His words were serious, being that this is a chance for Bernard

    The masked stranger wasn't gone and kept a distance that allowed this person to have a good view of the fight that was playing out this far having to consider allowing them to battle it. This would be a lot of data to take in need for the creation plan to be a clone of the thing if made into complete perfection. Watching from the very beginning the group that appears from nowhere engaged in a fight with the elf in his interesting transformation. What makes the fight more amazing is to keep one's eyes removed from it as the elf goes into another transformation, one that becomes that of a dragon something that can’t easily be done unless they are one from the beginning. “I must take in everything, nothing is to be missed at all.” The masked stranger said alone with no other living being to hear standing there silent to see what is to come out in the next act of the fight. This sudden change of dragone being in front of the adventure group's eyes wasn’t something they thou
