I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 212

“Are you in-law of Maria’s 8th cousin?”

“To be exact, he is the second son in the 8th cousin of the in-laws.”

“Oh, I see. I’ve heard a lot about it, Mr. Philip.”

“It was nothing. He must be the man Maria pointed out.”

“Mr. Marley was very helpful. Otherwise, we would never have met.”

Damian looked up at the man approaching the table in the corner. It was a kind of language that was not understandable at the time, but the man and Damian continued their conversation skillfully as if they were old friends.

The beard that covered his chin was white in places, and the yellowish-colored single-layered robe was a kind of cloth robe that could be easily obtained in Arno Kingdom.

And the dark wrinkles that clearly show the winds and waves of the years, together with the thick under eye area, were enough to give an impression of benevolence somewhere.

Ronaun Philip.

He was one of the chief guild members belonging to the Arno Kingdom branch of the adventurer’s guild.

“Shall we change seats?”

“Good idea.”

As Damian put the wad into his arms and stood up, a man called Philip, Ronaun, shrugged his shoulders and followed him.

Among the people crowded in the lobby of the restaurant on the first floor, not a single person was conscious of them.

It was partly because Ronaun and Damian looked as natural as water, but it was also because Damian was also wearing a gray robe instead of < Wolf Totemic Set >.

Moreover, the appearance of Damian wearing a half-mask in a restaurant lobby filled with adventurers from all kinds of other worlds was nothing special except for the ominous atmosphere with an alignment of -9999999999.

It was said that giving a glance was all it took.

Of course, the restaurant on the first floor of this inn had a lot of eye-catching items, such as flashy full plate mail, spirits with wizard spirits floating on their shoulders wearing luxurious jewelry, and assassins exuding a sense of intimidation.

“Come in.”

“Thank you then.”

What a profit!

So, when Damian passed through the hallway of the inn and opened the door to the room located at the end, Ronaun, who had followed him, bowed silently and began to insert his hand into the sleeve of his robe.

“What is that?”

“Nothing. It’s just for security.”

Woo woo woo!

The small orb that rose from his palm and emitted blue light into the room was a device that covered a curtain like a barrier for a certain period of time, detecting eavesdropping or some kind of magical device and preventing the story inside from leaking out.

“I will formally greet you. I am the chief guild member of the Ronaun Philip Arno kingdom branch.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Damian.”

As the beads floated in the air and fell onto the floor carpet without light, Ronaun asked Damien to shake hands. By holding his hand, Damian was able to guess the level of skill Ronalun possessed.

Aside from his large hands, like the lid of a pot, his entire mouth was covered with calluses and scars, making him feel as if he were holding a stone.

Moreover, to Damian, who had heard that he used even high-level magic, just like his name reminded him of a wizard, it was clear enough that he didn’t have to tell him how much Ronaun’s potential was.

Although they seemed to be working in a rutted fashion and were synonymous with trouble reminiscent of the Dottegi Market, no one could deny the fact that the adventurer’s guild was building the widest information network and manpower in the entire continent.

“You insulted me for coming all the way. Please understand that we had no choice but to maintain security due to the current situation. Menodya is quite far from the nature of Arno Kingdom, but as usual, the eyes and ears of the kingdom tend to be more prevalent under their own domain.”

“Are things that bad?”

“Well, it’s not very bad, but it’s not good either. It’s true that this level of crisis is something I’ve always been through, so it’s true that it’s normal, but just because I always go through this kind of thing doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. Isn’t it something that can’t be done just by inertia?”

“Isn’t it because of me that the Arno kingdom branch is enduring unnecessary trouble… It’s not me who is swearing at you, it’s Mr. Colin and Mr. Ronaun. I apologize.”

“Hehe, you are as eloquent as I have heard. You should already know that this branch has benefited considerably from what you have done.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

When Damian invited him to sit down with his palm outstretched, Ronaun sat down on the single-seat sofa and put his hands together. True to his words, Ronaun’s expression didn’t look that bad.

Even though they are not necessarily in the middle of the enemy country, they tried to make a contact with security.

And saying that they insulted each other, instead of saying a formal greeting.

It was none other than a minor (?) collision at Cape Crescent Moon, and it was something that they had been struggling with quite a bit even until now when the twisted portal was attacked.

It was because of Count Seyton, who was known as one of the most powerful people in Arno Kingdom.

“Garou Seyton is back. I was carrying out some kind of mission by order of King Darius van Maurechion… I ended up returning from a mission related to this twisted portal. Of course, it wasn’t long before he received a report that his eldest son ate La Vie en Rose and several knights in the process. Rumors are circulating that the Hollywood Sayton has become a disabled person because of that.”

“A person with the same temperament as the rumors would be enough.”

“Rather, if there are less rumors. Garou Seyton is truly a man without blood or tears. A human who doesn’t discriminate too much from a hound that also raises its own children.”

“Hmm… I don’t know if I should say that I had good guts or really lost my coward to blow up the knights in my family even though I had a father like that.”

“Because the Knights also only regard them as chess pieces. What Garou Seyton values is not his family, his family, or his troops, but only himself. Because you have confidence, your family can exist, and without confidence, your family is just a shell.”

“You have great confidence.”

“He actually has that kind of skill. Because he is a man who built a family in the powerful kingdom of Arno with his own two hands.”

When Ronaun rubbed his chin and said, Damian nodded in affirmation. He was, indeed, as unappealing as he had been told.

A man whose skills he possesses are counted among the top five in the kingdom, and because of that, he even has the nickname of a ghost’s sword.

Moreover, unlike the Knights of La Vie En Rose, whom they had encountered once before, the Knights of Bloody Rose, led by the family head, were famous for their high level.

It was not for nothing that a trainee knight of the lowest rank became the knight commander of La Vie en Rose.

No matter how much Antonio de Marcella suffered a terrible loss to Damian, it was because Damian was a specialist, not because his level was third-rate.

Of course, it went without saying that the aftermath began to affect the Arno Kingdom branch of the adventurer’s guild.

“It seems Garou Seyton moved the kingdom’s government office. The guild’s leaders and the branch manager were summoned as references, saying that illegal money distribution was discovered. The word is a reference, but in fact, the treatment is no different from the accused. It sounds like you’ve made up your mind. The organization that actually led the money laundering was a ghost organization that even a guild had never heard of. This is tantamount to bluffing.”

“Are you saying you’re going to bury the Arno kingdom branch?”

“Not so. No matter how Garou Seyton is, you can’t carelessly mess with this branch and guild. Because we are spread across all continents and our prestige is by no means small. Even as Arno Kingdom, there are not only one or two benefits from this guild.”

“It’s like putting up a fight. The goose that lays the golden eggs… No, you can’t split the belly of a phoenix.”

“I saw it right away.”

When Damian said that, Ronaun smiled lightly. As Damian said, this was just a nuisance.

Of course, I don’t know if it will just end in a happening or it will be a precursor to a full-scale all-out war.

If Garou Seyton was a person with a spinning mind, he would calculate the benefit of his country from coexistence with the adventurer’s guild rather than his own personal feelings, and if so, he wouldn’t easily cross the line.

In fact, it was impossible unless it was the Khan Empire.

Right now, even in the adventurer’s guild, there are not one or two members of the special guild that can be compared to Garou Seyton.

Considering that the mercenaries belonging to the guild like Damian are as distant as the Milky Way in the night sky.

I don’t know, but an all-out war with the adventurer’s guild was no different from touching a forbidden yoke to the point of risking the kingdom’s fate.

“Reports have come in that the warped portals do not appear to have been completely destroyed. It didn’t create a wave of monsters by encroaching on the entire area like before, but it seems that nearby creatures are affected and turned into monsters. Numerous scholars from the Empire and the Principality of Parma are trying to get rid of the remnants of the portal, but…” “

Maybe they won’t be able to. It’s not something that will disappear just because you want to get rid of it. Before territorializing the entire area like this time, we will have no choice but to continuously manage it. The kingdom of Arno also has several twisted portals in its territory, so you won’t be able to put pressure on the branch.”

“Is that true? I know that there hasn’t been much research on the portal remnants yet.”

“I wonder if someone who has dealt with them in person knows better?”

“Hmm… If it’s true to what you said, I don’t think we need to worry too much about this time.”

When Damian shrugged his shoulders and said, Ronaun slowly nodded and raised his eyebrows.

It was just a hypothesis, but it wasn’t completely unreliable.

The twisted portal of Crescent Moon Cape, where territorialization has progressed the most.

And the one who solved the territorialization of the monster wave and the twisted dimension.

The otherworldly adventurer sitting in front of Ronaun could be said to be one of those who had experienced the twisted portal in the most depth, and he could also be said to have brought significant benefits to the Arno kingdom branch.

The chief guild member, Ronaun, was the reason why he dared to find Damian.

Although the atmosphere in the kingdom was frightening due to the Seyton family’s tricks, it was a procession to express gratitude rather than to tell Damian to be careful in the first place.

Even more so, if things flowed just as Damian said, there was no doubt that Arno Kingdom’s pressure would practically cease.

It was because the Seyton family was not the only powerhouse in the Arno kingdom, and because of that action, dissatisfaction from other families would inevitably follow if the management of the portal was to be resolved without the help of the guild.

“I think it was good to meet you in person. It was a very satisfying time.”

“I am glad if my personal views have been helpful.”

“It was very helpful. I think it will be a good indicator for setting the future direction as a branch.”

Ronaun nodded and Damian put his hands together.

If short, it was a brief conversation.

Of course, Ronaun also couldn’t spend a long time as a senior guild member, so it can be said that he devoted a lot of time to this level of daring.

And Damian was able to confirm that a leather pouch the size of a fist came out of Ronaun’s sleeve at the same time as he put his hand back into his sleeve.

“Why don’t we stop talking about trivial things and move on to the main topic?”

“great.”

Fuck!

Soon, Ronaun and Damian smiled at the corners of their mouths at the same time.
