The King of Elden does not die alone!

“I don’t know if you’ve seen it on the bulletin board, but there are strange noises at the port at night…” the fishmonger explained earnestly to the people in front of him.

"Yeah." Altria nodded.

"It's actually a water ghost causing trouble!" The fishmonger was suddenly startled.

"Water ghost?" Kai frowned.

"Yes, yes. Every night, there are water ghosts that break into the warehouse of the fish market. It makes it impossible for merchants to sell their goods."

"Water ghost...be more specific? Are you sure it's not a thief?"

"It's definitely not a thief." The fishmonger kept waving his hands: "A thief is still a human being after all. It's impossible for him to break into the warehouse where the pickled fish materials are stored and eat as much as he wants... I can't explain it to you clearly here, you should go to the port with me to take a look!"

"Forehead..."

If I were to go with him, I really couldn't spare the time now.

Esidis and the others were still waiting in the carriage.

Kai folded his hands and questioned, "Why don't you post the commission on the notice board?"

"Well, because the officials don't allow it!" When the fishmonger talked about this, he seemed to be touched on a sore spot, and said with a conflicted expression.

"The Archon didn't believe me at all. He didn't even go to the scene! He didn't allow me to post a notice on the notice board. If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't be asking you for help..."

He blinked and looked at Kai.

Just as Altria was about to agree, Kai interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, Altria."

A knight of noble birth.

He still believed more in the consul's views.

After all, there are many cases of false information being spread.

When the fishmonger heard that Kai stopped Altria who wanted to accept the commission, he immediately became anxious.

"I have prepared a reward! I will definitely not let you make this trip in vain. I only ask that you can solve our problems, and I will definitely not lack the reward!"

"Brother Kai..." Altria looked back at Kai behind her.

There was a pleading look in those emerald eyes.

Completely subject to Altria's coquettish behavior, whether intentional or unintentional, Kai spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, we will help."

Then, looking at the delighted fishmonger, Kai held out his hand: "But not now, we have just arrived in this city."

He pointed to two carriages not far away and said, "I will have time to help you after I have arranged them."

The fishmonger replied cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay. Whenever you are free, you can come to the entrance of the fish market to find me. I'll be waiting for you there."

After the three people said goodbye to him, the fishmonger waved at their backs and said, "You can come anytime!"

Mia glanced back and saw the fishmonger was still looking at them until they climbed onto the carriage.

Soon after, two carriages arrived at their destination.

"I'm going to the market to sell my goods. You guys wait here for a while." Isdis didn't stay for long. After explaining, he drove the carriage towards the market alone.

“Hey—”

"I haven't been to the city for a long time," the guy, who didn't look serious at all, stood leisurely in front of the hotel and stretched lazily.

"Then I'll be away for a while."

Merlin said, looking at the street with great satisfaction.

"What are you going to do?" Kai replied unhappily.

With the help of the hotel waiter, several people moved the carriage into the garage.

After working up a sweat, no one would have a good attitude when seeing this guy, who can be said to be completely useless, standing aside in a refreshed state.

"Well, let me tell you." Merlin scratched his messy hair.

"I'm not that important, am I?"

"What do you mean?" Kai asked with a frown.

Although what Merlin said was indeed correct in a sense.

Since traveling with Mia and her group, this guy's existence has no other meaning except wasting food...

What about its role in combat?

Whether it is Mia or Wilden, they can replace several Merlins.

What about the ability to teach Altria?

After the battle with the Ansas, everyone could see how profound Mia's influence on Altria was.

Compared to hoping that a heartless guy like Merlin could make Altria an outstanding king.

Kai trusts Mia more, who comforts Altria like a family member...

Going a step further.

Kai was even able to find the qualities he lacked in Mikameya, a girl who looked about the same age as Altria.

Although, what no one except Mia knows is that Kai's real age is actually the same as Mia.

But Mia grew up in the era of information explosion and electronic technology after the second millennium, so she certainly can't compare with Kai.

Now Kai is thinking of Mia, and then he thinks of Merlin...

Ha ha!

He was the oldest among Altria and Kai, and Kai even had the illusion that "Am I the head of the family?"

Um...

Kai pondered in his heart.

With Merlin's irresponsible childishness...

Could it be that.

The current situation is that this guy is angry with them?

No way? No way? No way?

Kai showed a slight expression: "Well, Merlin, think about it on the bright side, you are not that useless..."

"That's for sure!" Merlin raised his head proudly: "I am the great magician Merlin~"

Then, he put his hands on his hips and looked at Kai, a strange smile on his face.

"Hey, I say, do you want to come together?"

"...What are you doing here?"

Kai felt a little uneasy.

This guy didn't seem to be mad at him because his role was replaced.

"Go find a woman!" Merlin waved his hand and pointed to the street in front of him like a general.

When it comes to covering up, Merlin immediately lights up.

"..." A tic-tac-toe appeared on Kai's forehead.

"Hey, let's go together?" Merlin came over with a smile: "You've been holding it in for a long time, right? Don't worry, trust my vision, I can definitely find a girl that suits your taste, okay?!"

"Give me back my feelings, you idiot!"

"What happened again?"

The magician's wails echoed through the sky.

In fact, Merlin, who is a hybrid of a fantasy species and a human, doesn't really understand human emotions.

"Well?"

Not far away, Mia, who was packing her luggage in the guest room, looked over through the window.

I don’t know what these two enemies are doing now.

"Ms. Mia!"

Altria pushed the door open with a thud.

Mia was startled.

"Um... sorry." Altria bowed awkwardly.

Then he explained his purpose: "When are we going to the fish market?"

"Ah..." Mia looked out the window.

Merlin had left.

Then he looked at Altria and said, "You make the decision on the commission you accept."

77. The Strange Cat in the Fish Market

I think I do have some water...

I'll speed up immediately.

-

Altria plans to set off now.

As for staffing, as Isdis had said before, he hoped they would wait here for him to come back with the money.

Therefore, one person must be left in the hotel.

Melina naturally had to stay with Mia.

As for the candidate, Altria hesitated between Wilden and Kai.

Finally, hopefully Mia will let Wilden stay here.

Although Wilden's fighting ability is at the top among the few, his return rate is...

Not suitable for running around.

So, Altria decided to form a team consisting of her, Mia, Kai, and Melina, and go to the fish market to find the merchant who issued the commission.

After putting on their equipment, the four asked the hotel owner about the location of the fish market and set off on foot.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect Brother Kai to agree so readily."

Altria said as she walked along the street with her sword.

"Oh?" Mia looked sideways curiously: "Wasn't Kai like this before?"

"Yeah," Artoria nodded arrogantly, as if to say, "You finally asked the right person." "Brother Kai used to dislike this kind of thing."

"I just can't stand it when you suddenly interfere in something that could have been resolved by others, and then make it very difficult to resolve it!"

Kai said with a disappointed look on his face.

Mia nodded, not quite understanding: "Actually, you're just afraid of trouble, right?"

"Hey, Miss Mia is right. I always don't like troubles that come out of nowhere."

Kai paused, then explained, "But if we take on a commission together like today, I definitely won't object."

"Look, I even turned down the idea of ​​going out for a stroll... um... drinking with Merlin."

Altria pursed her lips.

Kai's words reminded her of the embarrassing things she had done in the past.

Thinking back now, and feeling embarrassed by the previous misunderstanding, Altria chose not to respond.

Keep your head down and keep moving forward.

Bangor, although a city, is just a small town of about 10,000 people.

It only took half an hour to reach the fish market.

Since it is a fish market, it is naturally located on the coast. You can smell the pungent fishy smell from a long distance away.
