Both Luke and Elva begin walking around the city once again looking for the inn to stay the night and a tavern to eat up as he says "Tomorrow, we will go by the guild to check in for any missions for us, until then we eat well and sleep well" Elva agrees as after just a few more minutes, they find a tavern and as they enter, a table is thrown straight towards them
Luke quickly cuts down the table and sees two men fighting at the inn ruining the beautiful set it had created, with tables and seats now on the ground along with many men fainted around with a scared waiter behind the front desk.
The men were both drunk and were having an argument before it turned into a gruesome fist fight with both bleeding heavily, drops of their blood falling onto the floor but they were still standing as one of them shouted "WHY DRAKE WHY, WHY CAN'T YOU HELP ME?!!" "AND DO WHAT EXACTLY, SHE DID WHAT SHE DID AND I CAN'T HELP YOU ANYMORE, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE" "BUT YOU ARE BETRAYING ME, BETRAYING MY TRUST, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ABOUT IT HUH?!!!" "I DON'T KNOW OKAY, JUST ACCEPT WHAT HAPPENED RUGO, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY" hearing this the man charges another punch towards the man when Luke interrupts them grabbing his fist as he says "Can we stop here gentlemen, we adventures are quite hungry you see"
Rugo, seeing the man, says "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" "I am afraid I can't do that" hearing this, the man's eyes go red as he charges his other fist at Luke seeing which he sighs and quickly teleports behind him charging a kick to his face dropping him to the floor. The other man looks in awe as Luke asks if he also wants to continue.
The man denies the words and slowly picks up Rugo and walks out the tavern apologizing for the mess while Luke stands there and goes to pick up a table and two chairs as he says "Waiter, can you bring us your finest meal?" "Yes" quickly he runs into the kitchen and just a few minutes later, food arrives at the table as both Elva and Luke begin to eat while all the other men stood back up and slowly everything begins returning to normal
"Why do you think those men were fighting?" said Elva as they headed towards an Inn the tavern owner pointed to "Who knows, but from their talks it looked like one of them betrayed the other in some sort of way, and that led into a fight" "I wonder what that could be?" "Welp, if there will be trouble, we can find out tomorrow, right now it's better if we go off to sleep" Elva agrees as they book two rooms in the inn and the day comes to an end
The next day, both Luke and Elva arrive at the guild to get some requests around the city to solve when they meet the man again, Rugo there trying to complain to the girl at the reception with a loud voice "WHY CAN'T YOU…. I REQUEST YOU PLEASE ACCEPT THIS" "I am sorry sir, but please try to understand, we can't help you" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN…" tears begin appearing on the eyes of this man as he slowly falls to his knees "Isn't the adventurer's guild supposed to help everyone?"
The girl had no answer, she could only apologize while all the adventurers looked at the man with pity, Luke was the only one to ask "What's the matter here, what is this request that even the guild can't accept?" while approaching the front desk "You are…Oh! I know, A Rank, Luke Clearstone, right?" "Yeah, as expected, all the guild members are well versed with the faces, anyhow, mind telling me his mission?"
"But…well" "What is it?" "She is scared" interrupted Rugo as he stands back up and says "Sorry to have wasted all of your times, I should have known, no one will help me" and then begins walking away while Luke asks the lady "Miss, just tell me the mission, as an Adventurer, I can't let anyone feel this way" hearing this, the lady sighs and then begins to narrate the story Rugo told in the letters he sent to the guild
Few days ago, Rugo's wife went missing after she left to get some groceries… When he learnt of this, he reached out to his good friend Drake that was stationed at the royal guards who told him not to worry and that he will begin his search on it right away, the next day, Rugo went to ask if he had found out anything. Drake then told him that his wife has been involved in some suspicious activities and hence the guards had to capture her. Rugo burst into rage knowing her wife well, he knew she wouldn't do anything illegal and told Drake to let her meet his wife but Drake refused saying that it was not allowed, and when he asked what she actually did, Drake didn't bother answering.
"Rugo request is to find out what actually happened but, the knights have forbidden us to take any missions for this case hence we can't help him" "Is that so, well then, thank you for the info miss, I appreciate it, well then…I'll be checking out the missions available, if you don't mind" "Of course" replies the miss as Luke and Elva begin to walk towards the board of missions kept close to the entrance.
"We are not gonna help that man?" "There is nothing much we can do about his situation directly of course" "What do you mean?" "Well, let's see…oh, this is perfect" Luke picks up a mission from the board about a monster on the streets and asks "This is all what I needed to "help" that man"
Confused as Elva was hearing this, she followed Luke out the guild
As the adventure continues…
