Chapter 245 – This can happen!

"So, did you guys let my friends know what happened?" I continued to lie on the bed unable to move or use magic, and Suzan remained by my side the whole time. The guild master had disappeared and Norm hadn't shown up once.

My biggest concern now is talking to my friends. I need to let them know that I am fine.

It's already night and I haven't given them any news, I'm sure they are very worried about this.

"The guild master was in charge of this, but I don't know if he visited your mansion." So that's it.

"One question, do you guys know where my mansion is? I don't think I've ever said that before." I remember getting a visit only from Clara, I don't remember getting a visit from anyone who works in the guild.

"About that, well... Whenever an adventurer moves in, the adventurer needs to say where he is living in case of emergencies. In your case, you used the brokerage as a middleman, so we got that information from them."

"That makes sense, and since I was at the inn before, I didn't exactly need to say where I was staying since many adventurers stay there."

"Exactly."

"But leaving that aside, do you have any idea when the guild master will be back? I need to get some news about my friends." After that attack, I can't help but worry about that too.

If it is that man again and did he do it to get to me? He might go after them.

No, that man is not strong enough for that, some adventurers would have been able to kill him. And if he had strong magic like the one he used in the guild, he would have used it on me.

'Or maybe it won't work on me because I'm too strong?' No, he certainly doesn't have magic like that. He is strong, for sure he is strong, but he is not so strong that the guild master and the other adventurers couldn't do anything to stop the attack.

"The guild master said he would be back in a few hours, maybe he is almost here. Maybe he has already visited your mansion."

"I hope he has done that..."

"Why are you so worried? Your mansion is in the noble area of the city, whoever did this to the guild would never dare to attack the noble area."

"Why?"

"What? I'm telling the truth, no one would dare attack the noble area, it would affect the royalty directly."

"They attacked the adventurers' guild, which is one of the strongest organizations there is. They wouldn't mind attacking a mansion in the noble area."

"That's not what I'm saying. The guild is not owned by the state, meaning that the royalty or nobility has no power over it. Whereas the noble area is run by the royalty itself, you see."

"But still it is a powerful organization, isn't it?"

"Yes, because there are guilds in every city in every country in the world."

"So if they attacked such a powerful organization that works all over the world, why wouldn't they attack an area run by just one country?"

"Haaa~~ All right, I give up convincing you of that."

"Hmm..."

"But rest assured, nothing will happen."

"So I hope."

After that, Suzan left to get my dinner and I continued to lie anxiously awaiting the arrival of the guild master.

#######

"Emily, someone is calling outside." I was preparing dinner when I heard Syl calling me someone was calling in front of the gate. I hadn't heard anything, but when I got to the door, I noticed an old man standing in front of the gate.

He was well dressed, but he didn't look like he was wearing any fancy clothes. I had never seen him before, so I was a little wary about letting him in or anything.

As soon as he saw that the door was partially open, the man shouted again.

"Excuse me, my name is Halhildi, I am the master of the adventurers' guild of Grenrok City." What a strange name, is he the master of the guild? Wait, if he is here, something must have happened.

"My name is Emily, may I know the reason for your visit?"

"May I come in? There seem to be a lot of people around, I need to have a quiet talk with you."

"Did something happen with Larissa or Lincy?"

"I think you don't believe I'm the guild master."

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that Larissa asked me not to let anyone in before she got back, so I'm sorry."

"No problem. About Larissa, today around lunchtime she ended up having a little accident." Listening to his words, my heart started beating fast, I was starting to get nervous.

"Accident? What are you talking about?" My throat was getting dry, Syl who was beside me also looked scared and worried about what the supposed guild master said.

As we were talking loudly because of the distance, my mother seemed to have heard and were already starting to get nervous about what had really happened to Larissa.

"Today after she visited the guild, she started a quest and overdid her magic, so she fainted. You know what I mean, right? I guess you know the magic that only she can use."

'Is he talking about the flight magic? Wait, she fainted while flying? Wait... That's pretty serious.'

"IS SHE OKAY?" Since I was nervous, I ended up speaking in an even louder voice.

"Don't worry, she broke some bones and is resting in my house. Since she overloaded her magic, she is not being able to heal herself."

"Then she's not well at all. Take me there, please." Without thinking I ran toward the gate.

"Wait, I want to go with you." Seeing me leave, Syl tried to follow me, but I stopped her from doing so. But after stopping her, I was also stopped by the guild master.

"Not the need, there are already some people taking care of her and she is already awake and she is fine, she just can't move very well."

"Are you sure? If you are lying to me and something more serious has happened to her, I will never forgive you." I stared at him, but he just smiled at me.

"I'm not lying. I have to go now. I will meet with Larissa now and tell her that you are worried and that I have already warned you guys."

"Okay, tell her that when she wants to see me I will come any time, all right?"

"I'll tell her."

"And before you leave, I'd like to ask you about something, haven't you seen a pretty woman with short black hair? She's a maid who works here and she had gone out to look for Larissa."

"I don't remember seeing her, do you have any idea where she might have gone?"

"I think she was going to go to the adventurers guild, but I don't know where she went after that."

"All right, I'll look for her and let her know to come back." Saying that the guild master said goodbye and started walking away.

Not having much to do now, I went back inside with Syl and we went to dinner. Everyone was restless and worried about what had happened to Larissa, and also about Lincy not coming back.

By the time we realized it was dawn and we had no news about Lincy.
