After we set our foot on the Nolan Empire we go straight to the Guild, we watch as people come and go, of course I don`t use the face of the hero, but my old face, and the little pup transformed himself to a little puppy, I am a beast tamer now after all, or so what it is in my guild card, I`ll never get a favor from the old Emperor!
"Master, there is a guild board there." The Little Pup said and I look to my left direction and see the mission board, there are so many mission although the guild is filled with people there are too few looking or even taking a mission the others are simply drinking or straight up messing around the place. "Uncivilized." The Little Pup said and I can`t helped it but nod, we need jobs that will enter a dungeon.
I look on all the flyer and finally find one, I take it and go to the guild advisor and show it along with my id.
"I would like to take this one." I said and she look at it and smile and shook her head. "Sadly this is a dungeon exploration quest for those who reach rank D and higher, and your a Rank F." She said and I nod.
"I know, but me and my friend here is much more stronger than Rank D, the Old Emperor Nolan recommend us to join in the guild to get more income." I said and show her the back of my card and there is the signature of the Guild Master, the Old Emperor and the New Emperor of the Nolan Empire and she was shock.
"I never believed it`s you! the one that the majesties even personally do!" She said and because of her loud voice the whole place look at our direction, this loud mouth! "Yeah, so can I get it? by what the current Emperor said to me before I go here, this card is the same as a Rank S adventurer." I said and she nod and give a stamp on the paper.
"Alright, but this exploration need a 1,000 man!" She said but I shook my head. "The two of us is enough, more and it will be an over kill, and it`s just an exploration not a raid, I am sure we could come in and go much easier by our number." I said and she think but soon she look at a group who`s sitting on the side probably waiting.
"Nora!" She shouts and a girl look at our direction and the person this advisor called walk to us. "You need something?" She asked and the Advisor nod.
"Your party will do the new dungeon exploration right?" She asked and she nod and look at us and clap her hand. "Great, you and this esteemed new members can make a collaboration on exploring! they will also explore and they are recommended by the Old and New Emperor even the guild master!" She said and the girl named Nora look at us.
"We could go anytime, but are you two not gonna wear an armor? even a breast plate?" She asked I look at her outfit and I can see she`s wearing a full armor, probably a set! her helmet is on the table where she came from. "We don`t need to, we can move freely this way anyway." I said and a sword appear from my hand.
"This is enough for me." I said and I look at the Little Pup who show how his hand turned into Icy Flame Claw. "And he fought using hand to hand, so there is no problem." I said and Nora nod.
"Then come with me, we are still waiting for the porter who bought all the things we will need." She said and I nod and we look at the Advisor who already talking to other, talking about a busy schedule here, she invite us to their table and we look at her members and there is five of them, Nora as the main fighter, an assassin, an archer and two mage! one healer and want supporter, and there is also two members who bought things, their porter.
"I heard your recommended by his majesties and the Guild Master, how can you make those three powerful beings do that?" Nora asked and I take a deep breath. "I know the Old Crown Prince and the Old Emperor personally, about the Guild Master, I think the Old Emperor pull some strings to make that happen." I said and the five of them nod amazingly they don`t complain about the Advisor`s set up, but the other two who just got here? Oh they are different story.
"I wish them recommending you is the right choice! If you`ve become a dead weight we will leave you inside of the dungeon and let the monster there have a feast." He said and I look at him and smirk, but the Little Pup is different, he pounce of the man and his hand turn to a claw already ready to slash his throat.
"Cerberus/Dylan!" I and Nora shouts but Cerberus is glaring at him. "Say that again and before we enter the dungeon I`ll smash that head of yours to become the monster`s food!" The Little Pup said and his claw is few inches away from this man`s neck.
"Stand up Cerberus, we have jobs to do." I said and Cerberus follow and I glare at this peanut gallery and show a little bit of my killing intent and they all turn their head away from us, at least this people have decent amount of instinct! "Anyway, since you two are here, you guys should prepare, me and my companion will wait outside of the guild hall." I said and Nora nod.
"Little pup, calm down this kind of person is not something you kill fast, they are good baits." I said of course I am offended, and anyone who offended me don`t have a long life to enjoy. "Don`t worry, his life already forfeited, I am no saint nor God to be kind enough to ignore, specially someone picking on me." I said and Cerberus nod, this world may soften me but it doesn`t mean that just anyone can offend me, this person is lucky that Evil is not here or else a gory show will appear on that hall.
After a few minutes they appear and this god damn stupid mother fcker is still glaring at us, well a dead man needs to be ignore, I guess he follow the real porter the one who is carrying all their items.
"Where is your item?" Nora asked and we show her our pouch and she smile. "How can a small thing like that enough? although it`s just an exploration it doesn`t mean you can underestimate those monsters, many already perish in that new dungeon." Nora said and I smile.
"This is a spatial pouch, our items is inside of this thing, it`s hard carrying things like that." I said and since the porter look gentle I throw him the other Spatial Ring I have.
"It`s an spatial ring, you could use at for now, to make your movement more precise, with all those items, it will just slow us down." I said and the porter was shock and nod and soon shove all the items inside the spatial ring.
"Thank you for that, let`s go." Nora said and I nod, I saw them get their own horse and look at us. Cerberus sneer and transform into his real form, and like I knew it, those horses are scared to him and Cerberus` don`t want to delay our exploration he hide his beast suppression to at least make them usable.
"My partner is a magic beast, he could transform in his wolf form or his human form like that." I said and hop. "Let`s go." I said and Nora nod, we simply follow the group of course since they know what they are doing.
When the night fell they make a camp, of course they also prepare the meal, and they give us, we prepared many food on out spatial pouch and I get few desserts and the girls love it, but like usual Little Pup is silently eating his food near me, this girls have an appetite, I wonder how they could fit all the foods they gobble? It`s like this, even the other woman around me specially elves! they love sweets!
"We will reach our destination before lunch, you should all take a rest and we need to leave early tomorrow." Nora said after we finish eating, but not like we don`t have a tent, and we volunteered to guard the camp whole night and they all take a rest, I don`t mind though, I can be awake for as long as I need after all I am a lich.
