53.2. Escort
Sorry wait, Salvos?
I blinked.
Daniel? What are you doing here.
The black haired Human man stared at for a mont. He rubbed at his eyes before looking over once again.
You are Salvos.
Hello. Thats .
His eyes widened in shock as he just stood there. I cocked my head, confused.
Ive been waiting for you for I thought you died out there! Didnt you say you just wanted to test out your Skills a little bit?
I did. It went great!
I smiled, giving him a reassuring nod. He paused, opening his mouth. Then he sighed and grabbed my arm.
Well, its a good thing youre here. Theres a job I signed us both up for an escort mission. They wanted Gold Ranks, and well be heading in the sa direction, so might as well earn so gold while we can. The only reason they even waited for us is because were kinda well known in the area since yknow? And there's been rumors of another Greater Demon in the area after you yknow?
No, I do not know.
He sighed, shaking his head.
Co on, you dont need to sleep, right? Lets go now before they just
Hold it right there.
Daniel blinked, turning to the voice. He imdiately paled, backing up.
Woah, wait whats going on?
My companion let go of and raised both his hands; Helen did not lower the bow however, keeping it trained on his chest.
Who are you and what are you doing with Salvos?
Im just taking her to et with wait, you know her?
Yes. And you? What is your relationship with her?
Shes my
Were companions!
I piped up, grinning. Helen blinked and Daniels face turned red.
Oh, uh sorry, I had no idea that you were her
The Human mans face burned furiously as he waved his hands over his face.
She ans friends. Were friends!
Ah
Helen slowly lowered her bow, putting the arrow back in her quiver. Daniel sighed in relief as two more figures approached from behind the [Archer].
Is there trouble, Helen?
No, it was just a misunderstanding.
I see youve made a few new friends while you were gone, Salvos.
Daniel turned to , raising a brow. I nodded.
Yep! Daniel, this is Helen, Jaakko, and Zack. Helen, Jaako, and Zack, this is Daniel.
Daniel?
Zack blinked.
Youre one of the others who saved Silvergrove, arent you? I didnt expect you to be Level 50. Although, you look kind of familiar
I glanced at Daniel. Level 50? Hes not
[Warrior - Lvl. 51]
Huh.
It took a mont to catch on, but he was disguising his levels to be higher than it actually was. Why is he doing that though? The Human man noticed my confusion and quickly leaned in to whisper.
I have to look stronger than I actually am because of our job. Since its just the two of us and all.
He turned back to the three Gold Ranks.
Sorry Zack, right? I dont believe weve t before. Its nice to et you.
Its a pleasure to make the acquaintance of you too. Tell , are you her bodyguard or her steward?
Uh
He thinks Im a noble or sothing.
I quickly whispered to Daniel. He sighed.
Well, you certainly do co off as sheltered as one.
Hey!
Dont feign offense, I know you dont know what that ans.
But I can tell its ant to be an insult.
I crossed my arms and glared at him. He ignored it, instead going over to greet the other two. They shook hands and Helen profusely apologized.
Sorry again, for what happened earlier. Salvos seems kind of so I thought you were
Its fine, I know what you an.
They both shared a light chuckle. Then the smile vanished from Daniels face, being replaced by a nervous trickle running down his face as he spoke to Jaakko.
Uh, hi, Mr Jaakko.
Please, just Jaakko is fine.
He seed rather intimidated by the Cyclops man and that made no sense, considering that he was higher leveled than Jaakko. But Humans acted weirdly all the ti, especially Daniel. So I didnt question it.
Where are you staying, Daniel? We couldnt get a room in this inn because its fully booked apparently so noble booked out all the available rooms for themselves.
Oh, Im staying at a cheap inn on the other side of the city. I wont actually be staying the night, but I think you might be able to get a room here since the person who
So this is the Gold Ranked team you promised , Daniel?
A loud voice interrupted him as a rather young looking Human woman walked over to us accompanied by armored guards. Her high heels clacked against the marble floor with each step as her long, dark frilly dress trailed behind her. She had her long pink hair tied into what resembled a horsetail, reaching down to her waist.
Helen, Zack, Jaako, and I blinked as she placed her hands on her hips and nodded.
Well, it seems like I didnt waste my ti waiting for you to deliver, after all. Co on, we leave now.
The three Gold Ranks actually, two since Jaakko cocked his shead imdiately erupted into a flurry of protests, demanding an explanation from the woman. Daniel rubbed at his temples as I turned to him.
Whos that?
Thats Saffron rryster, third daughter and fifth child of Nixas rryster Dukedom. And shes who well be escorting further up north to Warrington.
Huh, so thats a noble.
