Kyla hesitated for a mont, before reaching into her backpack and pulling out a small leather pouch.
"This should be proof enough," she said, tossing the pouch onto the desk.
The receptionist opened the pouch and peered inside, her eyes widening in surprise as she saw the glinting gold coins and rare monster material contained within.
"Well, I'll be," she muttered under her breath with a grin. "Looks like you're the real deal after all."
With that, the receptionist handed Kyla and her team a stack of paperwork to fill out, along with a list of available missions. Kyla quickly scanned the list, looking for any that would fit the group's skills and abilities.
But Velian had one question.
"Why would we need to do quests? Isn't it a waste of ti?" He couldn't help but ask, but Amos quickly answered his question.
"Unlike, other kingdoms, Union take their guild seriously, so without a proper adventurer card, we won't be able to take you inside," He said how rules are so strict in the Union, unlike the kingdoms.
"Hmm~ looks like they have right bonds with the real guild then, looks like Union is hiding sothing," Hearing Velian's words, Daphnia nodded but others didn't know whether it is okay to get involved in these dangerous political matters.
At the end of the day, all of them were adventurers so, they didn't want to deal with annoying matters.
As Kyla and her team got ready to leave the guild and make their way through the streets of the capital city, they suddenly heard a commotion behind them. They turned around to see a group of adventurers approaching them, their faces etched with worry and fear.
"Hey, you guys!" one of the adventurers called out. "You're new around here, aren't you? Listen, you need to get out of this city as soon as possible. It's not safe here anymore."
Kyla frowned, her eyes scanning the group of adventurers. "What's going on?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.
The adventurer who had spoken stepped forward, his face grim.
"There's been a series of night attacks in the city, and people are disappearing left and right. The bodies that have been found have been completely drained of blood and reduced to nothing but dried-up skeletons. It's like sothing out of a nightmare."
Kyla felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to the adventurer's words. She always had a phobia toward ghost stories, but now she felt like hugging the person close to her, but she quickly regained her composure as she saw Velian's face.
She knew that this was a dangerous situation and that they needed to be careful if they were to survive.
"Thank you for the warning," Kyla said, her voice steady despite the fear that was creeping into her heart. "But we can't leave. We're here on a mission, and we won't rest until it's complete."
The other adventurers exchanged worried glances, but Kyla could see the admiration and respect in their eyes.
"You guys are brave, I never saw those murderers, but I already want to leave this city, I'm going to the Kelleros Kingdom, I heard good things about their country even though we are technically enemies for now,"
He gave the warning and left with his team. They had gloomy faces because their lives had been too hard because of all the things that happened.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Mother! Doesn't this feel familiar?" Belgian had a guess, who might be the killer, but he didn't want to jump to a conclusion without any hard evidence.
"Yes, this sounds like a demonic being's work," As soon as she said those words, Kyla felt her heart race because of the fear and excitent she felt.
"Demonic being!"
Ellena and her brothers shouted at the sa ti, but Velian quickly asked them to be silent.
"I will explain on our way, for now, let's find a place to stay,"
After taking the form and getting advice from the adventurers, Velian and the group went to search for a lodge where they can stay for the night since the quest they took related to the forest.
For normal people like Kyla, Amos and the other two siblings entering the forest at night ant death, so Velian decided to wait until dawn to complete the mission.
"I will share a room with her, you guys can take individual rooms," Velian said, as they entered the closest lodge that looked like a haunted house.
They didn't have many options when it ca to accommodation, as everything in the outer part of the capital looked like they were abandoned.
"Sa room!" As soon as Kyla heard Velian's words, she twitched a little.
Others didn't know why she reacted like that because mother and son staying in the sa room wasn't anything strange, but she knew sothing more than that.
"Why? Is it bad? Don't tell -" He looked at Kyla, who was sweating with his eyes narrowed. But Veliam decided to tease her and act like he didn't know anything.
"You want to stay with in my room?"
Kyla almost coughed as soon as she heard his words. And Daphnia easily understood that she was the person who saw their lovely session.
"Oh my! Do you want to stay with your teacher? I don't mind, we can take three beds," Daphnia thought about confronting her on this matter, so she decided to take her int their room without even letting her refuse.
Amos didn't understand what was going on, he thought Kyla just wanted to bond with her teacher so he didn't look suspicious at all.
In the end, she couldn't even object as Velian and Daphnia forcefully borough her to their room and quickly locked the door.
"Kyla!"
Daphnia looked at her student and she saw how much Kyla was trembling.
"You saw us right? Don't lie to , tell the truth,"
Hearing Daphnia's words, she knew everything is out of the bag so she decided to be truthful.
"I saw, I was on my way to help you, I didn't an to soy on you guys," She didn't want to touch that subject. So she avoided and tried to protect her trust, but Daphnia asked an unexpected question.
"How was it?"
