Chapter 119 – Valdel heads to battle

After hearing about the undead army from the messenger, Valdel stood up and was about to leave. Galius reacted quickly and stood before Valdel blocking his path.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Of course I’m going to the adventurers guild to gain more information about the situation,” Valdel answered a tiny bit annoyed that he was stopped.

“Have you forgotten that you are a knight apprentice, that you are a student of this knight academy? In this time of crisis, you need to go back to your dorm and wait for further instructions.” Galius was emitting a dangerous vibe as he said this. The usually kind old man was looking extremely dangerous at this moment.

Valdel wasn’t one to back off, so he too started to unleash his vast amounts of mana. The atmosphere of the room grew tenser and tenser.

“Old man, how about you let him go.” Rachel stood beside Valdel, and spoke to Galius.

“The ball of meat is right, Sir Galius. I think it’s better to let Valdel do his thing.” Natasha chimed in as she stood on the right side of Valdel. Rachel started to argue with Natasha about her ball of meat comment.

Seeing the two holy maidens defend Valdel, made Galius sigh as he finally eased up. Seeing that the old man was no longer emitting that overbearing aura Valdel eased up as well.

“Fine, since the two holy maidens asked of it, I will allow it just this once.” Once he was done saying that Galius made way and Valdel left alongside Rachel and Natasha. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m

While sprinting towards the adventurers guild Valdel was rather surprised to see Rachel and Natasha keep up with him.

“Why are you two following me?”

“I won’t leave your side until you become my hero,” Rachel answered full of unfounded confidence.

“I simply desire to witness you becoming a true hero as you claim.” Natasha gave off a seductive smile as she answered.

Hearing their answers Valdel didn’t bother to talk anymore as he continued running.

Once the group reached the adventurers guild, Valdel quickly headed to the Guild master’s room. Some of the staff members tried to stop him, but when they saw that it was one of Ren’s companions was the one heading towards the Guild master’s office they no longer bothered to stop him.

Who in the upper echelons of the town of Grenton didn’t know of Ren, the blade of death. That was a guy who came into town and in one day took over the whole of Grenton’s underworld organizations. It was rumored that he even has all the fallen nobles in Grenton as his subordinates.

Not only that there were even more rumors claiming that from all of Ren’s subordinates there were two people that were so overwhelmingly strong that they could fight evenly with the five generals of the King.

Unhindered Valdel accompanied by Rachel and Natasha was able to reach the Guild master’s room quite easily. Upon entering the voice of a grumpy person was heard.

“What the hell do you guys want?! Don’t you see I’m-” Nezzard stopped talking as he finally noticed who entered his room.

“Oh, it’s you… And who might these two… HOLY MAIDENS!” Nezzard quickly stood in front of the two holy maidens and took a knee. As his head was bowed Nezzard spoke, “Nezzard Netter, Guild Master of Grenton’s adventurers’ guild. How may I serve the holiest ones.”

Even though Nezzard acted really respectful because this was how people should act in front of Holy Maidens of the Temples, deep inside he was extremely irritated.

‘The hell not only does Ren give me nothing but trouble, even his friends do the same thing! Why bring holy maidens into the adventurers guild!’ As Nezzard was scolding Valdeld in his mind, Natasha step forward and spoke.

“The sleeping lion of Reschbeauch, I’ve heard tales of you.”

“It is my honor, my lady.”

“Who knew that the once-celebrated commander became an adventurer, and even became a guild master… How intriguing…”

“Life has its ups and downs, and no matter how strong you are, a human could never change fate,” Nezzard answered with a smile on his face as he stood up. Valdel was shocked, as this was not the guild master he knew. Was he somehow replaced by an imposter? That wasn’t possible since the mana fluctuating from within him could not be changed or copied.

‘Sleeping lion of Reschbeauch…’ Though Valdel was extremely curious about this title of Nezzard, he decided not to pry since he had more pressing matters to attend to.

“Nezzard, is it true, that an undead army is heading towards the town?” Hearing Valdel’s question made Nezzard sigh. ‘So it really is about that.’

“Yes, we speculate that the army is led by the elder lich your friend Ren fought a few weeks ago.”

The two holy maidens who were listening to Valdel and Nezzard’s conversation, though it was surprising to hear about an elder lich heading towards the city, the two holy maidens were even more surprised to once again hear the name of Ren. Not only was this Ren someone that Valdel respected, he was also a person that was able to fight an elder lich and actually survive. The more they hear about Ren the more interested the two became.

“How many days before the undead army reaches the city?” Nezzard was about to answer the question but someone interrupted him.

“Based on what Lara said they can reach the city within a week. So Lara decided to stay behind and delay their march.” The person entered was Hilda wearing her full plated armor.

“What do you mean?” Hearing the name of his friend being mentioned Valdel looked even more serious now. Hilda then started to explain what happened and what Lara was planning to do. After listening to Hilda, Valdel turned around and was about to leave.

“If you’re going, allow me to come with you. Since I’m done with the things I need to do here, I need to return. Lara is a party member after all.” Hilda asked, in which Valdel only look at her and didn’t respond. Hilda interpreted that as a yes and followed Valdel. As the group was about to leave, Nezzard spoke to the two holy maidens.

“My ladies, are you heading out to the battlefield as well?”

“Of course, I do need to watch my hero candidate in action.” Rachel said with a tone saying this was a matter of fact.

“Oh my, so he’s your hero? Well, whatever, Sir Nezzard this lump of meat is right we do need to see the hero in action.” Natasha spoke with a seductive gaze, Rachel who heard Natasha calling her a lump of meat started to argue with the girl.

“I see… Still, I need to report this to your respective temples.”

“Do what you must.” Afters Natasha said that she and Rachel hurriedly walk away trying to catch up with Valdel and Hilda.

Watching the fading backs of Valdel and his group made Nezzard sigh deeply. ‘Really, that group always giving me trouble. Aside from all the work I need to do in preparing for the incoming attack, I now also need to report to the temples. This is getting even more troublesome… I should quickly find a replacement Guild Master and retire already.’

Nezzard returned to his seat and slumped.

After leaving the adventurers guild, Valdel spotted a familiar figure running towards him.

“Master! Why did you leave me behind.” Kuro spoke with a bit of anxiety in her face.

“Sorry, Kuro I was in a hurry. For now, I want you to head back to the principal’s office and ask Galius what to do next.”

“But master I want to go with you,” Kuro spoke full of resolve as she clenched her fist and her tail pointed upward.

“No you can’t, as you are now you are still too weak to follow where I’m going.” Hearing what Valdel said Kuro’s tail drooped as she had her head down. Valdel seeing this patted the wolf girl’s head.

“You just need to stay here and protect the town, please wait for me to return.” Kuro lifted her head and looked at Valdel who was smiling gently at her. She then nodded her head and answered.

“As you wish my master.”
