Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 357 – Visiting Uncle Kaban

"I'm not too sure," Kenova replied.

Although he heard them say demons, he wasn't exactly sure why they were talking about it.

"Master, when do you think we can go to the Demon World? I want to show you my place," Aezel asked.

"I don't know. It certainly won't be happening in the near future. I still have so much to do," Lawrend replied.

"It's alright, Master. Once you become the king, we can go to the Demon World," Aezel said.

"If it's possible." Lawrend nodded his head.

They flew to the southeast for a dozen minutes before they finally arrived at Sheron Port City.

"Land in the forest, Clova," Lawrend said.

As there were many villages in the surrounding land, it would be very easy for them to be spotted.

"It's so fast…" Nao muttered.

He didn't even realize they were going fast until they reached Sheron Port City.

Clova flew to the Great Njiro Forest, which was northwest of Sheron Port City. A few seconds later, she landed on the ground.

"This is supposed to be the place where I was gonna train," Lawrend said and jumped down from Clova's back.

"Ohhh! Master, tell us more," Elena said with an interested look on his face.

"I wanted to become stronger, but because of Aezel, the Guild Master sent me to the capital," Lawrend explained.

"Fufufufu. We really are destined, Master," Aezel laughed and smiled at him.

Lawrend and Aezel met again when he was about to arrive at the capital. For her, that was like a destiny that was hard to deny.

"Yeah. I didn't expect you to actually be in the capital city. I wouldn't believe it if it didn't happen," Lawrend replied.

"So that's how Master met with Sister Aezel," Elena said and looked at the two of them in amusement.

"Anyways, let's go to the city," Lawrend said.

They all walked out of the forest and headed to the west entrance of the city. This side was deserted compared to the north entrance where Lawrend entered before.

The guards stopped them for a bit and inspected them before letting them in.

Once inside, Lawrend was greeted with the bustling city. Various peddlers and merchants were selling and shouting their goods.

"Let's go to the Merchant Guild," Lawrend said.

They stopped a carriage, and Lawrend rode it with Aleshia, Ella, and Elena.

The others rode on their own carriage and headed to the Merchant Guild.

"Master, do you still remember that guy your father knew about? Maybe he knows where your father is," Aleshia said.

"That's where we are going. He told me that he didn't know when I asked him about it before. We're just gonna visit him first and ask him something," Lawrend replied.

"That's right. He did say that…" Aleshia remembered.

Several minutes later, they arrived outside the Mage Guild.

Then a few seconds later, his other maids arrived on their carriages.

Once they were complete, Lawrend led them inside.

"Uncle Kaban!" Lawrend shouted at the receptionist.

"Oh!"

Uncle Kaban recognized him immediately. After all, Lawrend's red hair is hard not to notice.

"I just passed by to check on you, Uncle Kaban. Did you hear anything about my father?" Lawrend asked.

"Hm? How did you know that he contacted me?" Uncle Kaban asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Wait, he actually did?" Lawrend asked in surprise.

"Wait, you didn't know?" Uncle Kaban asked as he realized he had made a mistake.

"Yes. Tell me what he said," Lawrend replied.

"*Sigh* He told me not to tell anyone, especially you," Uncle Kaban replied.

"What is it?" Lawrend asked solemnly.

"He asked me if I was okay. Of course, I was. The news about the demon invasion reached him pretty fast," Uncle Kaban replied.

"Did he say where he was?" Lawrend asked.

"No. But you can probably track where the letter came from," Uncle Kaban replied.

"I see. That's too much work. If I can do it, I will," Lawrend replied.

"Is there anything you need?" Uncle Kaban asked.

"Yes. Do you know why my father hates the Rubrignis Clan?" Lawrend asked.

"The Rubrignis Clan… Ah! Those red-haired guys in the capital city?" Uncle Kaban asked, not too sure.

"Yes, them," Lawrend nodded his head.

"I'm not too sure, but your father is not very fond of them. It's almost as if they were on a hunt for him," Uncle Kaban replied.

"He didn't say anything else?" Lawrend asked.

"No. He just avoided the topic when I asked him about it before," Uncle Kaban replied.

"I see. Thank you for telling me this," Lawrend said gratefully.

"No worries. Is there anything you need?" Uncle Kaban asked.

"No. I just wanna ask about that," Lawrend replied.

"Okay. Thank you for coming," Uncle Kaban replied.

"Take care," Lawrend said and left.

"This guy… His maids grew in number that fast?" Uncle Kaban said with an amused smile on his face as he shook his head.

"Master, we're going to the Mage Guild now, right?" Aleshia asked.

"Yes. Let's go," Lawrend replied.

They rode another group of carriages and headed to the Mage Guild this time.

A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the Mage Guild. It took them a lot longer as there was a traffic jam on the road. [AN: Damn these traffic jams.]

…

"A-A High Mage!?" the mage stationed at the entrance of the Mage Guild exclaimed in shock when he saw the mage pin on Lawrend's cloak.

"What?" Lawrend asked.

"What are you doing here, esteemed Mage?" the mage asked.

"I want to meet the Guild Master," Lawrend replied.

"The Guild Master? Okay! I'll go call him quick!" the mage shouted and ran inside.

Lawrend and his entourage entered inside and stood at the side as they waited for Reon to come.

A minute later, Reon came walking down the stairs. He looked at Lawrend and smiled widely.

"Lawrend!" Reon shouted.

He was happy to see that Lawrend was alive and well. After all, it was he who recognized his talent.

"Guild Master Reon," Lawrend greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Come. Follow me up to my office," Reon said and urged him.

Instantly, the surrounding mages focused their attention on them.. They never saw the Guild Master so excited.
