« …. "Are you asking for a fight, you moron?! Also, how dare you cut me off like that?! And what's with your tone of voice?! Are you mocking me, Rylander?! …. »
Rylander just rolled his eyes in annoyance, and he didn't want this call to be longer and he would just get straight to the point.
He knew about his master's attitude, and he is not afraid of this man whose commanding tone as if he wanted to rip someone apart based on the tone of his voice right now.
Even if this master of his is a higher rank noble than Rylander's.
For a moment, he sighed to calm himself down as he held his temple to ease an incoming headache and then speak.
"Since you're already on the line then, I'll give you some updates for now. I'm now currently residing at Silveria Empire, and I just got here yesterday."
Rylander stated his report, and he heard the other person gasping at the other side of the line through the communication earring that Rylander is wearing.
« ….. "What in the… Silveria Empire? How the heck did you manage to pass through their Empire without being exposed?!" … »
Rylander sighed because he knew that his master would question him about this because the Silveria Empire isn't just an ordinary powerful empire within the Miris Continent.
"I told you earlier that I'm on a disguise right now and I happen to register as an adventurer in another small kingdom before I got here for my cover."
After he said that, Rylander didn't give his master a chance to speak as he continued; "Not just that, today I went to the Adventurers Guild, and guess what?"
Rylander could imagine his master raising his eyebrow at him and from his communication earring, he could hear a snorted sound coming from his master and said; "What is it?"
'You'll never imagine what transpired within this day and I bet he would be enthusiastic to hear about this.'
He thought as he spoke; "An unexpected encounter with Scarlette Overland at the Adventurers Guild and also, she even chose me as her companion for her job mission. Would you believe that?"
As soon as Rylander said those words, he could tell that his master seemed to halt his breathing at the mention of that woman's name.
« ….. "W-wait a d*mn minute! A-are you talking about THE Scarlette Overland?! That renowned SSS-Rank adventurer?!" …. »
'Told yah. This guy would be ecstatic if I told him about Scarlette Overland. After all, he admired the legendary adventurer and not just him, most of the people back to where I came from, idolized Scarlette Overland, despite her humble origin.'
However, not all of them since there are others who were still a conservative type and wouldn't acknowledge Scarlette Overland because of her humble origin, despite her achievements as an adventurer.
Although no one knew her real strength and abilities up to this day, her skills are still unknown to everyone but the reason why Scarlette Overland's reputation far exceeds within the outside walls of this Empire is because of her vast connections with other people.
Not only that but Scarlette Overland is a native of this land, the Silveria Empire and because this empire isn't just an ordinary empire, unlike the rest of the others, even though her background is unknown to everyone but within the Silveria Empire, Scarlette Overland is widely acknowledged.
Even the nobles and royal family of this land highly acknowledged Scarlette, according to the gossips and information that he had heard from others.
"It's the real deal, Young Master. I never expected to meet her today. Just like how the stories about her describes as a crimson-colored lady with cold demeanor and shrouded with mysteries around her. She is not much of a talker, but you can feel her oppressive aura that she keeps on hiding within her sleeves."
Rylander said as he remembered how he felt intimidated when he approached Scarlette, without knowing who she was at that time, and he managed to maintain her composure while he advanced himself and be the first one to make a conversation with her.
Well, more likely, Rylander is the one who do the talking while Scarlette ignore his presence from that time.
« …. "Well, certainly, she isn't an SSS-Rank adventurer for nothing, although we still don't know how powerful she was since she concealed herself and no one knew her limits." …. »
Rylander nodded in agreement and even though they couldn't see each other and only communicated through the magic communication earring that Rylander wore it, he knew that both of them were in mutual agreement.
Rylander; "I need to prepare tonight since we will be setting out tomorrow morning."
After he said that, Rylander could hear the snorted sound coming from his master and he just rolled his eyes because he knew that his master was sulking right now.
« ….. "You got yourself lucky, Rylander. Tsk! I thought that Scarlette Overland isn't fond of taking someone with her whenever she had a job mission and prefer to do solo missions. Don't you think it's strange for her to suddenly took someone and take note, someone that is completely an outlander of that land such as yourself, Rylander." ….. »
Now, Rylander thought about his situation. It's true that Scarlette Overland is widely known for being a solo adventurer and never once has she invited someone to accompany her and from the stories about her, this is practically her first time getting someone to tag along with her.
Especially in Rylander's case since he is an outlander of this land, and he understands how the other adventurers would feel because of Scarlette's decision.
"I also had my doubts about this matter as well however, I couldn't think of anything strange about this arrangement. If there is something amiss then, I'll come up with an idea on how to avoid it."
« …. "You should be careful then. Although Scarlette Overland's positive reputation is widely spread within the Miris Continent however, she is still a person shrouded with mystery that we don't know about it. Don't let your guard down." …. »
Rylander rolled his eyes because of his master's statement, as if he hadn't thought about it.
"You don't need to warn me about it because I know what I'm doing and don't treat me like a kid! Tsk!"
He said annoyingly through the communication earring that he wears.
