Although we lost some time due to several obstacles in the way, our merchant party was able to reach Poppo Village on the same day we left Totoy Inn.
It was already getting dark, but I decided to go to the Poppo village chief’s house immediately.
At the entrance of the chief’s house, I showed him the “black grade identification card” issued by the West Continent Merchant Guild and told him of my business, and a young man who seemed to be a servant of the house immediately took my call.
The village has always been frequented by merchants with the support of the Merchant’s Guild, so they must have known the situation.
We were soon shown into the guest room.
“It’s a big house.”
Loloi said as if she was impressed, but in reality, it is about a quarter of the size of the house that Mitra and I live in.
“Albus’s is not a house, it’s a theater.”
“…… okay.”
Soon after, two men and a woman, who claimed to be the son and his wife, appeared in place of the village chief, who was lying on a sick bed.
“Are you guys the caravan that came who came here on behalf of Marcella?”
“Thank you for coming all the way to the middle of nowhere.”
“I’m Albus. Pleasure to meet you.”
As we exchanged greetings, I remembered that I had met those two before.
They had bought artifacts from me at the wagon peddling plaza in Kilket.
I remember them well because of their distinctive clothing.
“I am Gorgo, head of the Poppo Village Fishermen’s Guild!”
The man said in a loud and silly voice in response to my greeting.
He was not intimidating, just loud.
Gorgo was naked on top, with metal chains wrapped around his arms and a strange pattern tattooed on his shoulder. And he is as muscular and gangly as Burgess.
Incidentally, he was also dressed like this in the kirket, so people around him looked at him strangely.
In the streets of Kilket, it is rare to see a man walking around with no clothes on.
“My name is Barris, deputy head of the guild.”
The woman introduced herself in a quiet but clear voice.
This one, like Gorgo, was almost naked in the upper half of her body.
A long, thin piece of cloth was tied around her shoulders, crossed in front of her neck, and tied behind her back, just barely covering the part of her chest that should not be visible.
However, more than 2/3 of her breasts are fully visible.
Since she was walking around the plaza of Kilket in such an outfit without a care in the world, she was looked at oddly ……, or rather quite erotically, by the people around her.
Neither Baris herself nor her husband, Gorgo, seemed to mind the looks they received. ……
It was quite shocking for the viewer, so it was burned into my memory in various ways.
Well, that’s why.
They probably don’t remember me, but I remember them well.
Burgess’ eyes were peeled back and his mouth was a little loose.
As I recall, he likes ‘young’ and ‘big’.
She may not be that young, but she’s big. ……
I can’t help but to draw my gaze in that direction.
Clarice looked at us with a blank stare.
Loloi, as usual, is indifferent to such things.
By the way.
Gorgo calls himself the head of the “Poppo Village Fishermen’s Guild,” but there are only three officially recognized professional guilds: the White Mages’ Guild, the Black Mages’ Guild, and the Knights’ Guild.
Therefore, the other disorganized occupational guilds are basically unofficial.
However, there are cases in which the names of the adventurers’ guilds in the area have been changed to such names on their own, and the “Fishermen’s Guild” in this village was probably one such guild.
So, Gorgo would be the guild leader of the “Poppo Village Adventurers’ Guild” to be precise.
Naturally, compared to Marcus, the guild leader of the West Continent Merchant Guild, he is a complete underclass.
There is a difference between “a humble, ungraded peddler” and “a platinum-graded merchant with dozens of large stores in a large city, who has royalty and aristocrats as his customers.
The two people seemed to be well aware of this and treated me very respectfully as I went there under instructions from Marcus.
They seemed to understand this and treated me with a lot of respect as I had come there under instructions from Marcus.
I was out of the loop at Ryan’s party. I had never been treated that way myself, so I felt a little strange.
However, when I told them about my visit to purchase materials for 80 Todros, their faces turned decidedly sour.
Then Barris opened her mouth, looking a little uncomfortable.
“As for us, we would like to earn our living by selling the materials of our sea beasts, as we always do. ……”
“I’ve heard that. I believe there are some advanced monsters living on a small island off the coast.”
That was the information I had obtained when I was in Kilkwt.
Perhaps that was the part of the story that Marcus was trying to hide from me.
In conjunction with his previous blatant sabotage, it seems that Marcus wants me to fail this assignment somehow.
I don’t know what good will come out of it for Marcus, but it’s probably a bonus, no matter how you look at it.
“Oh! I knew it! So that’s about it!”
With that, Gorgo began to tell his story.
According to him. There is a small island named “Bamba Island” a few hours offshore from the port of Poppo Village, where a special class equivalent of a monster named “Sea Dragon Lapros” has taken up residence.
The number of Todros has been drastically decreasing due to this sea dragon, and the waves have become so choppy due to its frequent rampages throughout the sea that boats can only sail out once every two or three days.
In addition, the sea dragon Lapros sometimes attacked fishermen’s boats.
“A “special class of monster? From what we’ve heard, there are some high-grade monsters living there. ……”
I was a little puzzled, and now Baris began to speak.
“If it’s an advanced class, we can probably handle it. We have done so several times before, but this time the level of the monster is far beyond that. We tried several times, but in the end, they escaped. So we sent a request directly to the Adventurers’ Guild headquarters in Kilket through Marcella, a guild-affiliated merchant who frequented the village. ……”
Although a reasonable amount of reward should have been set, it seems that no adventurers appeared at all who wanted to take them down.
“I hear there’s a lot of commotion in Kilket!”
Gorgo is not sure, but he is convinced.
“Since when is that?”
“About three months ago. I was told by the merchant Marcella that ‘the set amount might be low,’ so I loaded up the amount several times, but still not a single adventurer showed up to take it down.”
Just in case, I asked Burgess and the others, but they said, “I don’t remember seeing such a request.”
Could it be that this Marcella merchant had skimmed the commission?
“Well…. the number of requests that come into the Adventurers’ Guild every day is enormous. And if they were posted only in the northern guilds, it would be natural that those of us based in the western guilds would not see them.”
Burgess followed up, but I was beginning to have a bad feeling about this.
Despite the mention of “advanced monsters” from the mouths of the merchants I had interviewed, the Adventurers’ Guild had not actually received any requests for them.
And that merchant, Marcella, knew that the monsters in Poppo Village were the equivalent of special-grade monsters.
The report about the special class monster would surely have gone to the guild leader, Marcus.
After all, Marcella was said to be under the influence of Marcus.
On top of that, if he manipulated the information and got me to accept this request by making me, who had gathered the information in Kirkett, believe that ‘the hidden information was to take down a high-level monster’, then ……
I can’t say for sure without talking to him further.
Maybe it was a much tougher case than I thought.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
