The Meadow of Tulips was located a little far away from Bardin. Passing through the forests Gojo and Grisella were greeted with an open meadow.
The sight of the meadow was marvellous. A large number of tulips of various kinds were growing there. The air was also refreshing.
Gojo and Grisella started looking for the emerald tulips. They were pretty rare in this world.
They started to pick up the emerald tulips, when they heard a rustling in the bushes nearby. As the rustling grew both of them turned their attention to the source of the sound.
Out of the bushes where the rustling was coming came out five wild boars. They started walking towards Gojo and Grisella.
Although not very common in that area occasionally wild boars would come out of the forests to feed at the meadow of tulips. This is why it was advised that adventurers belonging to the lowest ranks to form groups of four or more people when they went to the meadow.
" Let's go Grisella, looks like we will be able to level up. Let's beat the boars. " said Gojo and turned towards Grisella.
Grisella was reluctant at first, but decided to follow him. They walked towards the boars.
The wild boars had also seen them. Usually it was the rule to slowly back off when someone encountered a boar. But Gojo and his friend were approaching them. They quickly got agitated by this and started watching them.
The wild boar leading the other boars charged at Gojo. Gojo quickly used reverse red to kill it. This was nothing for him.
Soon the other boars charged but the two friends slaughtered through them with little effort.
Dusk was arriving so Gojo and Grisella decided to go back to Bardin.
" Listen, we must keep the killing of wild boars secret. We shall not much attention towards us. " Gojo said turning towards Grisella.
Usually it was unheard of an e rank adventurer taking down a boar. Normally d rank adventurers were required to kill them. So their killing of the boars needed to be kept secret.
They returned to the adventurers guild and got their money. Eric Flavel had arranged for their dinner so they went to meet him.
Eric Flavel was sitting beside a fire near the main road and was making some food. There were some other merchants and some adventurers present as well. Mr. Flavel started to introduce some of them to the two friends.
" This is Herbert Marvin, he sells different types of fruits and own big orchards outside Geradin. He might hire you one day. " spoke Mr Flavel.
Among the group was an adventurer named Martin he came and sat beside Gojo.
" Looks like like you people will be leaving on the day after tomorrow. " Martin said " Be careful of bandits on the way. Lately there has been a lot of bandit activity in this area. "
Gojo understood the situation, just before arriving to Bardin they faced a small group of bandits. It was possible of them being attacked after leaving the city.
Two days later.
A group of d rank adventurers made their way to the meadow of tulips. They had been notified of the appearance of five wild boars near the meadow.
As soon as they arrived, they started searching for the boars.
The leader of this group was Wynn. The same Wynn who went to Seldis village.
He was the first one to notice the corpses of the wild boars.
Did some other group take care of the wild boars ? Wynn thought to himself.
Back at the adventurers guild at Bardin Gerald the guild master was sitting in his room when he heard a knock on the door.
" Come in " he said. The lady receptionist of the guild came in.
" What happened ? Why did you come here ?" he asked quite attentively.
" Guild master it seems like someone had already slaughtered the wild boars in the meadow of tulips before Wynn's group made it there. " the lady said.
" Did you manage to find out who slaughtered the boars at the meadow ?" asked Gerald.
" Well we didn't manage to find out who exactly killed the boars since no one came to sell their parts. But the corpses of the boars were similar in nature to that of the goblins we found in Seldis village. " the lady replied.
" Well that sounds interesting. Keep on investigating. " said Gerald pretty excited.
He really excited to meet the people who killed the boars.
