We entered the inn .

Talking with the innkeeper, we began completing the procedures needed in renting a room .
After filling out the register, the innkeeper turned towards us .

[Are you two mercenaries?]
[Yes . Though, we haven't really registered on the mercenary guild yet . ]

I heard that there were many mercenaries that also weren't registered in the guild .
This kind of reasoning shouldn't be unnatural .

[Is the reason that you came in here the Blood Colosseum?]

[That's one of the reasons . ]

Of course, that's just a lie .
I've heard of the Blood Colosseum from Seras earlier .
It's an arena where slaves and mercenaries kill each other .
It reminds me of those colosseums back in ancient Rome .

The warriors fighting here were called “Blood Champions” .

Seras explained it before .

“The recreational aspects of the people nowadays were strong enough already, but that place has also been a place where they could evaluate the strength of mercenaries who want to join the guild . Of course, I heard that culture also made some of the mercenaries withdraw . ”

That's why, it weren't unusual for mercenaries to visit Monroy for the purpose of watching the matches in the Blood Colosseum .

“You would receive a reward if you were to win a match . So, most of the mercenaries who joined were those who were troubled with putting food in their plate . There were also some slaves that became popular Blood Champions which can earn a good amount of money for their owners . That's why, these slaves were most often not sold to mercenaries, but they were kept in the Blood Colosseum because of their popularity . ”

There were two organizations that controlled the Blood Colosseum .

One of Urza's dukes .
And the Mercenary Guild .

Nevertheless, it was really the right choice that I won Seras over to my side .
She knows most of the basic knowledge of this world .
You could even call her a walking human dictionary .
No, it's actually an elf dictionary huh…

[It seems that the mercenary guild have a hand on various things . ]

I look towards the signboard with the figure of letter and Mark on it .
We've already left the inn and were walking along the main street together with Seras .

[The guild exists in every country in this continent . It's an organization that could be relied on by those mercenaries that were travelling across countries . The Mercenary Guild and the Magician Guild seem to have a lot of influence in every country . ]

Mercenary Guild huh…

If I remember it correctly, they also had a hand in that exploration in Mills Ruins .

Anyway, we first went towards the tool shop .
I began gathering the available tools that were easy to carry around .
Thanks to Seras' haggling, the price has been cut down a bit .

After leaving the tool shop, I could feel the small pouch in my pocket .
There is the Azure Dragon Stone inside of it .
I thought of changing it into money but— I stopped .
If that were to be circulated into the market, that topic would surely spread out the area .
Naturally, the person who sold the Azure Dragon Stone would also be talked about .
I don't want to stand out for no reason at all .
I close down the small pouch .
Fortunately, my purse is still quite loaded .

I've obtained some gold from those pair of skeletons in the Disposal Ruins .
There's also the money I've taken from those four-person group who followed Seras .
And also, the money after I've sold those expensive jewelry and ornaments I've obtained in the MIlls Ruins .

The total amount after all the money I've obtained were combined were quite large .
We were quite rich in terms of money .
Thanks to that, we don't have to worry about the travelling expenses we would need .
However, saving money is still necessary .

[As usual, you're quite good at bargaining . ]

When it comes to bargaining, Seras isn't someone easy .
She doesn't really intimidate others .
She still has that gentle demeanor .
However, she won't yield at the times that it matters the most .
Seras wryly smiles .

[It's just that I'm quite stingy . ]
[I think you should rather call it thrifty . You don't have to be that self-deprecating about it . ]

Seras holds back a laugh as she smiles .

[It seems that Milord is quite skilled at grabbing the hearts of his subordinates . ]

Can't you just say that I'm completely conscious about the circumstances of my subordinates?

[By the way, I'd like to find out about that black egg I found at Mills Ruins if possible . ]

There is a public library here in Monroy .
If you were to put it in another way, I guess you could call it the national library .

[Can anyone just go in and out of that place?]
[If it's about those archives that's opened to the public, I'm quite certain that's—]

Seras seems to be trying to recall something .

[If you're an unregistered resident in the royal capital, you would need to be issued a permit before you were approved to go in . That permit only works for a day though . ]

Even the elf dictionary herself doesn't know this black egg .
Is it possible that this black egg would ever appear in any book ever published?

[It might be better if we were to ask that person we're going to about that egg . ]

If it were the Witch of Taboos, she may know something about this .

We decided to have dinner in a nearby tavern .
The taverns also serves as a good place for gathering information .
This is the ideal place to get information about the latest news .
We started going into the wide tavern .
First, I requested some herbal water and food .
I don't really drink alcohol, but I also ask for some .
It's because it blends with the surroundings .
Because I'm in a different world, it wouldn't matter even if I were considered a minor .
I don't really have any good impression of alcohol because of my real parents .
That's why I hate alcohol .
Even if I know that the alcohol itself is innocent .
By the way, it seems that Seras could drink a little .
While eating my meal, I listened to the conversations around me .
I could hear the conversations in the nearby seats .

[Hey, have you heard?]
[Nomnomnom~… Hm? What is it?]
[It's about the Black Dragon Knights . ]
[Is it that story again?]

[No, no . This story is about how they were annihilated . ]
[Oh? Did you obtain any new information?]
[This one's a story that came from a man who works in the Royal Castle, you know?]
[Hohou… Then this one should be trustworthy . ]

He based it all on the source of information huh…

[Seras Ashrain, who were considered as the culprit of their annihilation, seems to have been dead now . ]

Seras suddenly have a difficult expression on her face .

[Mngghh!?]

It seems that some food have clogged in her throat .

[Mnngghh, ngghh…]

I held out a cup of water to her .

[Are you alright?]

Drinking the water, Seras takes a deep breath .

[Thank you… S- Sorry about that . ]

She suddenly hears a story about her death .
She must have been really surprised about that abrupt news .
Without caring about her reaction just now, the men continued talking .

[Did she die after she fought against the Five Dragon Warriors?]
[No, my guess is that Seras Ashrain just lost against them and died . ]
[Eh? Then, who defeated the Five Dragon Warriors?]
[Yep, as I thought . You really haven't heard it yet . I heard that the death of the Five Dragon Warriors were the deed of Ashinto . ]

Ashinto?

[That rumored group of sorcerers I've heard recently huh…]
[Yeah . They seem to be going around the place, claiming that the Five Dragon Warriors fell from their magic . ]

I exchange glances with Seras .
Hiding my voice, I said .

[What do you think?]
[Recently, there have been rumors about some kind of sorcery all around the place . ]
[Is sorcery something you common?]
[No, it's not common at all . ]

Seras briefly explained .

Ceremonial Magic .
Chanting incantations .

These two were more commonly known by the public .
If I dare to add a third type of magic in that list, it would be the “skill” of the Heroes .

[What about Spirit Techniques?]

It seems to belong in a minor category because the number who could efficiently use that magic is small .
Speaking of which, even the people who were talking about it in that tavern in Mills were quite vague with their understanding in this type of ability .
In the first place, you could rarely find Elves which were the people who could use Spirit Techniques .
It is only recently that sorcery has begun to spread .
The one that were spreading out these out were a group of sorcerers called Ashinto .

[I heard that it's a group who worships the God of Curses . ]
[In short, they're trying to spread their sorcery with that huh…]

The criminals who killed the Five Dragon Warriors .
It might be good that they took responsibility of that for me .
Naturally, their lies may be found out sooner or later .
However, they would still be able to somewhat disturb the search of the real culprits .
I don't really know the extent of this world's information network but…
Well, we would be entering the Demon Zone tomorrow .
I guess I'll let them earn some time for me .
By the way, as for where that Ashinto right now—

[We are Ashinto's Guardians!]

The door of the tavern was thrown open .

[We're the Curse Guardians of the fallen child of the God of Curses, Muaji-sama! Now then, vacate your seats at once!]

A group of people wearing purple robes came inside in droves .
It must be the aforementioned group of sorcerers .
It seems that they're in Urza .

[Heee…]

Diving the spoon in the bowl, I scooped out some soup .

[So that's the group of sorcerers who cursed the Five Dragon Warriors to their deaths huh…]
