Chapter 1148: Taking Care of Fake Clanmates
Thirteen dragons. The guild must have mistaken their numbers. Or that they never noticed that there were thirteen of them.
Well, there might be more. But who knows? I’m not interested.
Let’s see... what else can I get from these dragons? They are weaker than the dragons we have in the Monsters Kingdom even though they are smaller than these dragons. I guess there’s nothing I can take. Should I just bring back the bodies to the city?
I’m thinking of leaving them here in case there are more dragons than expected. To make them afraid to come since when they all came here and surrounded me, they came from the opposite direction of the closest city. So there shouldn’t be any more dragons near the city.
Well, even if they attack a city, we should at least have several master level mages in the city. But for the village, it will be difficult.
Well, if the village is attacked again by another dragon, then there will be another quest for me in the future. I’m pretty sure it will be fine. There are some agents acting as hunters after all. They should know if anything happened.
Alright, let’s go back to the city.
Should I go with Ray again or just open a portal? I think it will still be hard for everyone to learn about portals so I’ll just go back normally.
So I fly with Ray carrying thirteen fangs of the dragons I defeated. If the guild wants me to bring the body, I’ll do it. But I want to get other missions as well.
I see the city in front of me. And at this time, even though only less than an hour has passed, there are more people than before. Most likely people who completed their quests just now.
I think it will be noisier. But what do I care?
I don’t even care about going to through the gate anymore. I just fly with Ray and landed directly in front of the guild where some people was about to enter. Sorry I blocked them. They’re too slow.
"Hey! Don’t park here! And we’re coming in first!"
Yup. That’s how average hunter would react.
"Sorry. But I’m busy. Later," I said as I entered the guild. Leaving Ray in front of the guild before he runs on his own flying somewhere.
I told him to not block the way via telepathy. So he’s leaving on his own. I don’t need to unsummon him. But when I need him again, I can summon him back to me.
The people who were angry at me watched Ray flies away before they looked at me again.
"Hey! Don’t ignore me! Do you know who you’re messing with?!" he asked.
Please don’t say it. Please don’t say it.
"We’re from the famous clan Wolf’s Crown!"
And I swing my fist right into his face. Blowing him away and even destroyed the wall of the building. He didn’t die. But he’s close to dying.
"...How dare you do that to our boss!"
And I ignored him. Walking toward the receptionist and also the guild leader who is watching me in fear from behind the counter.
"So, how long do you know that there are people here acting as members of my clan? I’m the leader of Wolf’s Crown. But how come there are people here acting like they are members of my clan?" I asked.
"W-We don’t know that! They sent someone else to get quests from us while they never showed their hunter cards!" the receptionist girl said.
"Then it should be fine if I kill them all, right?"
"That’s—"
Before the guild master can reply, I already moved and knocked out the rest of the people pretending to be from my clan. This time, I won’t ask the soldier’s help anymore. I’ll just take care of this myself.
Even the person I blown away before is already brought back to the guild. It took no time for me to do it myself.
"Shall I?" I asked as I brandished my sword.
"Please don’t! We will make sure that they are severely punished!"
"What punishment will be better than execution? Just so you know, even Princess Celestine herself is in my clan. And these people acted as if they’re in the same clan as the Princess of this Empire. Is this okay?"
Celestine’s existence has now been known to everyone in Consenza. So I’m using her name. People should know that she’s a Princess and she’s also a member of my clan.
"That’s... we will take care of the execution. Someone, go get soldiers here!" the guild master said.
Whether he’s involved in letting people act as members of my clan or not, it’s easy to find out. We’re just too busy thinking about the cult that we ignored everything else.
But now that we’re using me as a bait, there should be one other thing that we can use as a bait. My clan.
If I let people roam around saying they are from my clan, the people in that city would be put in danger because the cult will think that they are parts of me. So I should get rid of them as much as possible.
Sunglasses and the others also said that we will use my clan as the cult’s target. It has been their target for a while since Angela and the others never really hid their identity during the war.
But now that I no longer hide my identity, the cult will be more likely to attack Cassau because of us. That’s what we expected.
So if there’s anyone who pretended to be a member of my clan in another city, it’s no different than them wanting the cult to attack the city. So I have to kill them.
"Alright. I’ll trust you in that. For now, here are the subjugation proofs of the dragons. Right. Dragons. Plural. There were thirteen of them," I said.
I dropped the loots on the counter. Thirteen fangs of thirteen dragons I defeated.
Everyone was shocked. I guess even if the quest was hidden, everyone knew about the dragon. But no one knows that there were thirteen dragons.
"You should send someone to investigate. There might be more of them. So I left their corpses on the desert on purpose so that no dragons dare to approach closer," I said.
"...T-thank you for completing the quest. Anything else we can do for you?" the guild master said because the receptionist was too shocked to speak.
"Show me all the difficult missions without any rank limitation. And prepare for my S-rank hunter card," I said.
"Yes. Here are the quests. And for your hunter rank, it will be done in a few days," he said.
In a few days I might not be here anymore. But I can use portal to come here anyway.
"Once I’m done with all the missions I can take, I’ll leave this city and go somewhere else. Is there a way to get S-rank sooner?" I asked.
"Well... no. But this is already the fastest method," he said.
I guess that’s fine. A few days of taking care of difficult missions won’t be difficult.
Let’s check the quests. Will there be something interesting?
...No. Most of them are just about subjugation against powerful monsters. But why is there no one trying to tame them?
Many people should be dreaming of having a dragon as their tamed monster. But there’s no one aiming for them.
I guess people who want them are just too weak. And those who are too strong think that those dragons are useless.
In the end, there shouldn’t be any extremely strong monster for the quests. Only those who are too strong for hunters, but too weak for powerful people to defeat.
Still, clearing difficult quests is still a way for me to gain more reputation. I’ll do them all by the end of today.
"I’ll take this one, then this one, then this one, and this one. This one takes so much time so no. I guess I’ll take all the subjugation quest forms. Is this all?" I asked.
The guild master was shocked seeing how I could easily decide to take difficult quests like these. But he recovers his composure soon after.
"I understand. I wish you for a safe trip. Everyone, we will be a bit busy after this! But once we’re done, we can take it easy for a while! Prepare for it!"
The guild master said that to the other guild staffs. I guess these quests are what make them so busy that even the guild master is sleeping in his office.
Well, this should be easy. Should I summon my monsters to help? I don’t think I need.
I still need people to witness that it’s me who cleared the quests and defeated the monsters. Even if I’m too fast, I shouldn’t let someone else help me.
Now, let’s go and kill some more monsters.
