-If you're strong enough, there's no one to refuse to bow to you. I'll answer any questions you have about the guild and the others on the way. For now, gather your belongings and come with me to Greathive Aratel.
They began to discuss among themselves whether they would really join the guild or not. Despite all seeming reluctant, the fact that they had lost the duel didn't change. Besides, working under such a strong personality made more sense than wandering aimlessly. After some discussion, they gathered their belongings and, along with Argus, passed through the gateway to Lord's Grove and then crossed a large bridge to reach Greathive Aratel.
-What do we do now?
-Do you know where they are?
-I have no idea. It might be good to try asking one of the guards here. I'm sure they know something about them.
When they asked one of the guards they saw about the location of Three Disasters, he said they had just returned from Fort Merit and were currently lodging there. Upon reaching the inn, they were confronted by three individuals with incredible armor and weapons. These were Three Disasters.
-You must be Three Disasters.
Among them, Nighto, who was the son of the current world's most powerful spear master and one of the three war spears found through-
out Lumen, answered very politely.
-Yes, that's us. Why do you ask?
-I have a letter for you.
-May I ask from whom?
-Blake, Rapier Master Blake.
Upon hearing the name Blake, all three of their eyes widened. They took the letter from Argus and began to read it. After about two minutes, they responded.
-We owe a lot to Blake. The only reason we're still alive is because he rescued us from the Authority's captivity. The tortures we've been through there were beyond insane. We could never consider dishono-
ring the person we owe our lives to, by refusing such a request. We accept to join the guild. We will come with you to Erisia.
It had been much easier than Argus had expected. Of course, he wouldn't complain about it. With Three Disasters and the Four Horsemen agreeing, they took a large ship from Greathive Aratel Port and set sail.
Among them, Saint Judeau had a good knowledge of maps, so he was the one steering the ship. This way, everyone could be comfortable on this long journey.
Although everyone was silent at the beginning of the journey, as time passed, they began to ask each other about things they were curious about and bonded.
Even though they weren't very intimate with each other, they had a very nice journey. When they arrived at Etrean Luminant, Argus asked Judeau to leave him in Mintrisia and take the other people on the ship to Erisia.
-Judeau, I want you to leave me in Mintrisia before going to Erisia. After you leave me here, you can return to Erisia. I've marked the location of the Guild House on one of the maps I gave you.
-I understand, Argus. But I have a question. Why aren't you coming with us to Erisia?
-We still need one more person to join the guild. Lix, the user of Gran Sudaruska, the Scourge of the Ministry. When you arrive at the Guild House, our leader will explain everything.
-Oh, Lix, huh? To be honest, this guild thing is starting to excite me. A guild made up of very strong individuals, gathering everyone around a single purpose. Hahaha! Who could have guessed that we would return to Erisia for something like this after all these years?
The Sword of the North, Cornelius also joined the conversation.
-I had heard that Gran Sudaruska uses some kind of cursed frostdraw technique. I didn't understand it when I was young, but according to a story I heard, the soul of someone who fought against the Ministry is said to be trapped inside that axe. Who knows, maybe when we meet Lix, he'll tell us himself. I'm excited to meet him.
-It's nice to see you so enthusiastic. It's time for me to go now. I look forward to meeting at the Guild House.
After Argus left the ship, he began to search for Lix in Minityrsa. He had been to Minityrsa before, but there were a few places he had never been to.
One of these places was the Starfield Tundra. Since it wasn't too far away, he decided to start by looking there.
When he arrived at the Starfield Tundra, he encountered a strange monster about three meters tall, holding a sword that looked quite rare.
