877 Splitting up with Jewel and Gladius

The day after we eradicated the entire clan that aimed for Gladius, we finally reached a city in Arturo. Though I have to say that we eradicated an entire clan because that clan got me involved for some reason. I mean they took me as a hostage!

Well, even if I didn’t get myself involved with the fight, with Jewel alone, they can defeat them all. Though Jewel is so kind to her saviors that she let them fight while Jewel herself never used her full power.

On the way there, the party Gladius showed an interest to join my clan. But this time, I clearly refused them.

“I refuse. You have been a party together. And even after breaking up, you got back together again. And you have quite a reputation as well. If I let you in, you will be our weakest members. I’m sure that you don’t have the pride to let that happen. So I will refuse right away.”

That’s what I said when we’re talking about their interest in joining. Though in the end, they said that they prefer freedom. So they wanted to go on their own as being a party has much more freedom than being in a clan.

Though I know that I was right. They have too much pride in them that they won’t allow to be the weakest members of my clan.

But if I said that we know how to improve their strength, they will happily join us even if they have to throw away their pride. But I didn’t say that.

It’s still afternoon when we reached the city. And as soon as we entered the city, we entered the guild to give the cards of the hunters we killed. Just to get the slightest wealth that they have.

Though I don’t need them, it’s still a good idea to tell the guild about what that clan was doing. And how bad they were.

.....

“Really? If it’s that clan, then yes. We received a lot of bad rumors regarding them. And to think that they were targeting Gladius, I’m so mad about them. It’s great that they were traveling with a member of Wolf’s Crown, Jewel,” the receptionist said.

Seems like that clan is famous in this city. After all, that clan’s base is in this city.

There are few clans who would travel to another city, or even another country, just to do some mission. My clan is one of them. But most clan would only stay in one city and do some missions only around that city.

Sometime, they are also considered as the protector of the city. Though that’s only sometime. After all, they are all still hunters. So they prefer to move for their own benefits rather than to protect some strangers.

But for clans with huge reputation, they will move to protect the people because that’s what the people were expecting from them. Like that time during the tournament in Consenza, I saw some hunters helping us in the fight. When I heard from Claudia, she said that they were from a famous clan in the capital of Consenza.

Which means that that clan should be safe from the influence of the cult. Because there’s no way that they would fight the cult if they are involved with the cult.

Anyway, I’m angry right now. Because the receptionist said that we’re safe because Jewel is with us even though I’m her clan leader.

Should I gain some fame as a clan leader?

Well, the others will still be more active than me. So I think what I’m doing is already good enough. I’ll just be happy that Jewel and the others gained some reputation.

After sharing the money we got from the clans, I want to know what Jewel will do from now on.

“Jewel, what will you do now?” I asked.

“What do you mean, Master?” Jewel asked back.

“I mean, you reunited with your saviors and friends. If you want, you can stay with them for a while. If so, then I will leave this city right away,” I said.

There are people who know me here. Members of Gladius party. So I want to not gain too much attention here. Or someone will think that they are with me and will target them. They are too weak after all.

Though I think it will be me who will be targeted.

I asked Jewel if she wants to stay because they’re her friends. She can teach them about how to use magic more efficiently and make them stronger if she stays with them. Then even though they won’t join us, we can still get strong friends.

“Hmm... I’ll stay. Since we have been separated for a long time, I have a lot to talk with them. Like many things that I have been through and I want to know what they have been through as well. I think I will stay here for a while,” Jewel said.

Not only she understood my intention, she also said that she will stay here for a while. Meaning that she will investigate this city. My disciple has grown so smart.

“Then I will leave right away,” I said.

“Leaving now? But the next city is a few days away. And you haven’t even gathered enough supply for the journey,” Jessica said.

“Don’t you know his strength already? If he wants to, he could finish the journey in a few hours from Tatrama to Arturo. It’s just that he doesn’t have a reason to be in a hurry. So he took his time moving,” Jewel explained.

“Oh, right. I guess he can do it then.”

After that, I split up with Jewel and the other girls. Leaving the city only with Victoria and Breezy. Though after leaving for a while, I summoned Ray and ride him.

“It’s fun traveling with more people. But it’s fun to be alone as well since we can go wherever we want!” Breezy said.

“Agreed. Though they are not strangers to us. And Jewel had a lot of fun talking with them. So it’s great that we can coincidentally met up,” I said.

Moving together is fine if we’re not in a hurry. And moving alone is great because we can take our time and go wherever we want before we stop at our destination.

For now, before going to the peak of the mountain, I want to go to Bernard’s place first. But before that, we can travel to another city and enjoy our time there.

To get to Bernard’s city, I can easily get there using a portal. I already have a Blobby staying there. In a room in Bernard’s mansion. Especially for me.

But if I’m riding Ray, I can get there long before the sun set. So I can take my time and look around everywhere.

For now, I will look around at the place that the circus didn’t go before during the tour. There should be a small city and a few villages to visit. I guess I check the villages first before staying at the city. It’s not like I have to meet Bernard today.

The first few villages, I saw some explosive devices in people’s houses. So as a good person, I tried to break into their houses and kill the owners. But the better person, Victoria, stopped me and told me to contact Fabio so he can send agents to the village.

And so, that’s what we did. The next time we saw unused explosive devices in someone’s houses, that’s what we will do. Contacting the king of the land.

Though if they’re inside someone’s mouth, I will just kill them. That’s the simplest thing to do.

“But so far, we haven’t find anything close to what we’re looking for. Elemental Spirits. Breezy, you sensed any of them nearby?” I asked Breezy once in a while.

“Nope. And I’m started to get bored. Let’s stop by a city and take some requests there!” Breezy suggested.

I guess it’s time to stop looking around in villages and find a city. So we entered a city. And it’s already afternoon, so we grabbed some easy requests from the guild that can be done before the gate to the city is closed.

Surprisingly, the clan in this city was very helpful to foreign hunters and rookie hunters. I think this place is the best for anyone to start their hunting career as the clan that is based here would help everyone in need.

Most of the members of the clans are old. I don’t think I saw anyone younger than forty. Maybe they were famous hunters who have already retired. But since they don’t know what to do in after retirement, they gathered together and built a clan that is helping everyone in the city. Especially young hunters.

One old man even suggested that he will help us looking for herbs. I tried to refuse, but he insisted because I’m a D-rank hunter. So I let him join us.

Thanks to Breezy, we gathered the herbs quickly. So we returned early as well.

The old man I’m with is a good person. He talked a lot about his experience. But from the sound of it, it seems like I have more experience than him.

Well, making relationship with someone new is not something bad at all. Just tiring.
