Chapter 74
We decided to stop for rest and ended up having dinner with Allen’s party.
Since we weren’t prepared, Maron offered to treat us, and we got a pretty luxurious meal for camping.
“Still, we were really lucky. The Goblin King was unexpected.”
“I guess so…”
Normally, an escort mission on this route would be done by a C-rank party.
B-rank parties are too expensive to use for escorts, unless they’re contracted adventurers.
But no matter how much money an ordinary merchant earns, it won’t be enough to hire an A or S-ranked party.
“But still, we were called because of who our opponent was…”
“Embarrassing…”
Allen’s party was composed of four male swordsmen.
Since a swordsman can handle roles well balanced alone, it’s not unusual for them to reach up to A-rank like this.
“Well, it’s good that we were saved.”
“Definitely.”
Allen and his party laughed.
“If it’s you guys, you might be able to do something there.”
“There? “
“Oh…before this request, we went to the Forest of Illusions.”
“The Forest of Illusions…”
It’s a place only recommended to the top tiered A-ranks and above.
“We got lost.”
“Lost!? Won’t you be unable to come out if you get lost there!?”
“A Kitsune appeared. It helped us.”
“I see…”
The Forest of Illusions is not only a treasure trove of rare materials but also a place where supernatural monsters called ‘phantom beasts’ literally proliferate.
But not all of them were enemies, and some were even revered and worshipped. Phoenixes and Fenrirs were examples, and they’re not enemies as long as you don’t bother them.
This area may have somewhat had something to do with the relationship with vampires.
“When you say Kitsune, aren’t they quite a big deal even in the Forest of Illusions?”
If they were to become hostile, they would be an opponent that could only be dealt with by an S-rank party.
An S-rank opponent on its own. They’re also called Divine Beasts.
“Ah, the one we met was still a child.”
“If the parents thought we were enemies, we wouldn’t be here.”
“Thank goodness it turned into a laughing matter…seriously…”
As expected, A-ranked parties are constantly getting into trouble.
‘Well, the fact that they got the Goblin King in a relatively safe escort mission right after that means they’re going in a bad direction…or is it a good draw considering we came…?’
We enjoyed our meal while chatting about trivial matters for a while.
“Phew…I’m stuffed!”
Milim had been mostly quiet, but that was because she was stuffing her mouth full of food.
