Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 390 Ember Grows

There was nothing else other than this that he wanted to discuss, so he dismissed everyone and left the room.

Afterward, Hyst's sister, Crynne Von Haven, said, "Do all of his need to participate in these meetings every single time? It's too early... and we don't even say anything."

Ounz quickly replied, "I know you are young, Crynne, but even you need to learn the responsibilities of the Von Haven household."

Crynne didn't say anything, most likely because she was confused about what her father was saying.

"Listen... all of us must be informed about this, even if we aren't to say a single word. There are no arguments here... it is our duty as the mayorhouse of this city to listen and adapt to its news and concerns."

As Ounz said this, Lyrian had made his way out of the Von Haven estate.

Just as he left, however, Sebastian said some parting words to him.

"Lord Lyrian!" He said in a slightly louder voice to catch Lyrian's attention since the boy had already walked a meter away from the entrance.

Lyrian turned around, and Sebastian spoke at that moment, "About Young Master Kepler... I apologize for his absence. Although you probably already know why he has gone, I would like to address it so that there are no misconceptions."

At this moment Lyrian paused to let Sebastian continue.

"He is busy once again in the redlight districts. When he was very distressed, he sometimes even spent full weeks there. We have tried to discipline him, but it seems more and more that he is a lost cause. For this, I humbly apologize."

Lyrian spoke without a second wasted, "Don't worry, it isn't a big enough deal for you to apologize for it. It's not like you control whether he comes or not, so it isn't your apology to make." He said, turning around and leaving.

As he made his way back to the city center he took a breath of relaxation and thought of what to do next.

It felt like this whole time he had been moving like an unstoppable machine.

'I don't have intentions to stop though...' He mused, returning near Rock's Tavern when he spotted the Adventurer's Guild and decided to head in there.

'I guess it's time to do another mission.' He said inwardly, appearing inside the guild seemingly from thin air.

The useful ability of his cloak made him smile, but others frown in confusion.

When he looked at the board of quests that day, he saw that everyone had changed drastically from the day before.

This was already weird. At the least, he knew that quests stayed on for several days before being removed.

Some quests even stayed for months and years until they were completed.

However, it seemed they completely redid the quests simply overnight.

On top of this, there was a far larger group of adventurers surrounding this board.

'Hm...' Lyrian found it to be odd but didn't let it bother him too much.

He approached the board and took a look at all of the quests.

"Oddly powerful goblins had attacked our village! Help us fight back against them."

A quest description read, making Lyrian slightly suspicious as he squinted his eyes and read the several other quests posted on the board.

"Wild animals are being rambunctious! They are trampling over our houses! We need help to control these beasts."

"The Tree Lizard populations are becoming more and more rowdy and dangerous. They are much stronger than before as well for some reason. Help us fight back against them!"

All of the quests generally seemed to follow the same concepts.

'It must be the Black Petal Sect's doing. There's no way all of these can occur like this around the same time and it all be a coincidence. Seems they are trying to cause the animals around the kingdom to go mad and rampage around the outskirt villages...'

He thought to himself, as a person suddenly bumped into him.

"Lord Lyrian! It's nice to see you again. Did you sleep well?" Rothis exclaimed from behind Lyrian.

Lyrian looked back to see the smiling face of Rothis, along with Cylline, Solvir, and two other faces next to them.

"Hey..." Lyrian said, looking at the new faces in the group.

Rothis noticed him looking at his friends and quickly stepped in, "Oh... these are our other two teammates in our group, by the way. I think I told you about them before..."

One of them stepped forward first, a man in his mid-twenties who had blonde hair and a bow attached to his back.

As he reached his hand out, the man who introduced himself as "Zyon Hatna" reminded Lyrian slightly of Alten.

Not only did he wield a bow and have blonde hair, but he even had a pair of glasses atop his nose.

With a smile, Zyon exclaimed, "Nice to meet you, lord Lyrian." As they shook hands.

The other man was less talkative and had a more serious expression on his face.

He stepped forward next, wearing a Japanese-style kimono. On his waist was sheathed a long katana.

"Osikae Dashi." He said simply, and nothing more as he reached his hand out.

Lyrian also shook his hand, and as he did, he felt a more powerful aura from the man.

'Interesting... Scan.' He said in his head. 'I suppose he's the leader then.'

'Woah... someone who's quite strong.' He mused, slightly surprised.

It was true that he hadn't Scanned anybody else really in the city yet, but from what he sensed, Osikae was the strongest person he had made contact with as of yet.

"Are you looking at the new mission board?" Rothis questioned, as the group turned their attention to the quests.

At that moment, Cylline spoke, "It's odd... all of these occurrences similar to the Orcs are happening right now. It's almost like whatever organization that is doing this is becoming more awake."
