Chapter 131: News from the Magic Continent

“I think it’s better to be more discreet, Serk.”

The next day, I sat seiza on the floor, attentively listening to my brother’s frank advice.

“Just because Berga Kingdom has become a vassal state doesn’t mean there aren’t nobles who want to strengthen their influence. If rumors spread about Serk being a womanizer, it wouldn’t be surprising if some noble decided to bring their daughter to you as a concubine, right?”

“Yes…”

“Now, even though, for the time being, it’s manageable given Serk’s status, you should be careful since there might be an increase in approaches in the future.”

“Approaches?”

“Serk, with the achievements you’ve made in this country—or rather, on this continent—there’s hardly anyone who can match your accomplishments and strength. I think there will be many who try to gain from your power.”

“Ah…”

Sighing at my own situation, when I thought about such matters, there was a knock on the door. I stood up, checked the matter, and saw that a chamberlain had come to deliver a letter addressed to me.

Upon receiving the letter, I found out that the sender was the adventurer guild on the Grusio continent, specifically from the guild master of the Walklear guild.

Since transfer magic couldn’t cross the sea, sending a letter across the continent required a considerable cost and effort. Even then, the fact that they went through with it meant the information conveyed was important.

“What’s this…”

I broke the seal and read the contents. I couldn’t help but doubt what was written, but I knew that the guild master wasn’t someone who would make poor jokes.

“What’s wrong?”

Sensing an unusual atmosphere, my brother asked as I handed him the letter. The letter, in summary, contained the following:

“Berg-kun, your exploits have become widely known even on the Grusio continent. I said you were worthy of mithril, but it seems I underestimated you. The reason for writing this letter is related to rare drops.

Based on the information you provided, we decided to re-investigate a medium-sized or larger dungeon. However, a golden-class adventurer who went to investigate the deepest part of the magic continent has gone missing.

Furthermore, unusual incidents are occurring around the deepest part, such as the appearance of shadow stalkers that shouldn’t be there. We suspect that those targeting the rare drops you informed us about might be involved.

Though it’s distressing to request this from someone in your position, could you lend us your strength as an adventurer?”

“Serk, don’t tell me…”

“Yeah, I thought Aria burned him to death, but I assumed he wouldn’t die so easily.”

The golden-class adventurer who disappeared in the deepest part—the golden class is a level of strength that can be counted on one hand even on the Grusio continent. There shouldn’t be anyone at that level who would make a mistake in their withdrawal, and even if trouble occurred, they should be able to handle it.

If we consider the possibilities…

“Loud…”

It meant he encountered an unfortunate event that he couldn’t handle.
