The Wind carried a putrid smell, the earth was gray as far as the eyes could see and the ‘green guardian’ clan that was led by Kennett has been staying the whole night at the middle point between 57F and 58F and was taking an early breakfast. Despite two attacks at night it had been repelled without much trouble by the night shift guard.
Lalit then took a bowl of soup and put a bread inside to soften it. He sat beside Kennett afterward. People of the ‘green guardian’ had been looking at Lalit with hostile eyes. Because even though Lalit had been making friends with them, he always acts too relaxed.
“Yo Kennett.”
“Good morning Lalit. That’s some story you told us yesterday.”
“About the kingdom?”
“Yes, one thing that you should know, is that we ‘green guardian’ clan are also serving the capital kingdom. Although we’re all balanced we are a little bit lacking in scout division.”
“So what’s the point?”
“Well. I was just looking at the adventurer’s guild and turn out we found you who’s just been promoted to C rank. The only thing I want to ask is, why have you always kept yourself at D rank for a long time? Didn’t you have ambition to climb up earlier?”
Kennett was looking for party members through the guild recruitment post. Kennett can tell that Lalit’s experience was far more than the others but for him just to be recently promoted to C rank was a big mystery.
Higher rank in guild means more fame, more rewards and they give a sense of superiority. Even major clans might recruit them. As for why Lalit was doing what he did, it was a big mystery. From Lalit’s performance a few days before, he has left a deep impression and probably is going to be lured in to be a member of ‘green guardian’.
“Chemie, they seemed to be talking about something important.”
“Jigumo, be quiet.”
Jigumo also immediately fell silent. She wanted to hear what they were talking while Chemie and Dorogosu looked at that scene with a grin.
“Kennett seemed to try to invite him but he looks like a carefree person.”
“Yeah, but I am sure that Kennett won’t give up easily.”
They keep on talking but they can see the outcome from Kennett’s facial expression. After they finished breakfast, Kennett moved from Lalit’s side and went to a big tent to discuss with the other members about their future plan.
“Lalit… the hell, he dares refuse the invitation!”
“Jimugo, stop, even Kennett didn’t say anything.”
Dorogosu said that with a calm face.
“Chemie, you know that it is a hard thing to be invited personally. How could Lalit refused it.”
Jimugo was contemplating and making a scene when suddenly Lalit appeared. Under Jimugo’s neck, Lalit’s Damascus dagger was already there. Only a little push and there will be a lot of blood spewing from Jimugo neck.
