The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1230 The Start of Trouble II

Garrof prepared hot tea for Lory and Zhao Li Xin as well as beer for him and Lloyd for some reason Garrof knew that Lory and Zhao Li Xin were 'Tea' type people, well he was right, instant teabags didn't meet Zhao Li Xin's standards so he only drank one sip out of respect Garrof's hospitality then put down his cup of tea without any intention of taking another sip, fortunately, his expression remained placid as usual so no one knew his disgust towards the cheap tea, only Lory could tell.

"I heard you have business with a guild around here?" Lory opened the conversation.

Lloyd wanted to sip the beer straight from the bottle but he felt that it would be rude in front of Lory so he changed to pouring it into a glass while answering, "Yes, I needed materials to make a camouflage cloak, but unfortunately something happened and the hunter group that was supposed to collect the materials suddenly disappeared and the guild somehow unable to locate them," he sighed disappointedly.

Lory tilted her head, "Camouflage cloak? I've never heard of that before,"

"This isn't a new invention, during the Dark Ages War the N.I.M.S. invented a lot of new equipment to help warriors and hunters fight beasts but you probably don't know about it because you're already far from L'markieth" Garrof lowered his apologetic gaze, he didn't know what happened to Lory but he can be a guest. Nothing good happens to a girl wandering in a world filled with demon beasts in endless darkness. Lory understood that it happened when she had received Lazarus's curse and became half crazy because of it.

"So... N.I.M.S. is the one that made the discovery..." muttered Lory. Despite everything that happened, she was happy to know that her people remained strong after she was gone.

"Not only that, but they also found a new type of potion to increase not only adrenaline but also prolong mana for a few minutes or an hour depending on the quality of the potion but the after-effect is that you need a good rest for two days" added Lloyd.

Lory's eyes widened, "Oh, how come it's not on the potion list that I could order in the Beast Slayer guild?"

Garrof snorted, "Small guilds that don't even have a mana meter to check people's mana strength won't have enough money to order this potion because of the difficulty of producing this potion causing the price of this potion to be quite expensive as a result only big-famous guilds can obtain it"

"Aww, that's unfortunate..." Lory feels sorry for Maddy and Jack but also feels worried about the future continuity of the Beast's Slayer guild.

"What... happened... to your order?" Zhao Li Xin said a little haltingly using Harlandish language.

Garrof widened his eyes in surprise "Mr Zhao your Harlandish is really good!" he gave a thumbs up.

However, Zhao Li Xin's response remained flat, he didn't look proud or annoyed by Garrof's compliment. Zhao Li Xin only nodded faintly indicating he acknowledged Garrof's praise, later on, Zhao Li Xin turned his head back at Lloyd again, waiting for his answer.

Lloyd suddenly became nervous under Zhao Li Xin's sharp gaze, he cleared his throat to calm his racing heart and then said, "Um..the material I need is a King Zalpein's hide which isn't too hard to get if I'm not busy I will hunt it down myself, that's why I'm surprised the experience group they send failed to deliver my simple order."

"Zalpein, it's not that difficult, I just killed a few of them but I didn't meet King Zalpein though," said Lory while sipping her tea casually then looked at Lloyd again "Which guild did you place your request?

"Black Crow Guild" Lloyd answered frankly.

Lory's brows shot up, "Black Crow?" Lory exchanged glances with Zhao Li Xin.

"What's wrong, princess?" Garrof could feel Lory's strange reaction. His body unconsciously leaned forward waiting curiously for Lory's answer.

Lory put down her cup of tea, her forehead creased as she pondered for a moment before her expression turned serious, "On the way we met a group of injured Hunters at the Hunter Safe Station masked as a Diner named...um, George's, but they were hunting Cantrapera...but not real Cantrapera but the same freak like Zhyger and Maren we encountered before"

The room fell dead silent, Garrof and Lloyd held their breaths, after a while they managed to calm themselves down and Garrof asked, "Do you know their name or their group name, we might be able to ask them—"

"Impossible!" Lory shook her head, "They were all dead, they were blown up along with the entire Diner and so was the scene of their fight with the Cantrapera, everything was wiped away" Lory grit her teeth in frustration "It's my fault for not ask about their name, I thought I could question them later after we checked the Cantrapera...I guessed I made a terrible mistake"

Lloyd rubbed his chin and contemplated "It's not your fault princess besides Hunter didn't give their name easily to a stranger, however...could it be that they are the same group that was supposed to take my request after all it's not strange for hunters to take on several jobs at once?"

Garrof shrugs "Maybe, how about we check it out, princess, do you want to come?"

"Do you want to come to Li Xin?" Lory turned to Zhao Li Xin.

"Yes," answered Zhao Li Xin with a slight nod.

Lory nodded at Garrof and Lloyd, "Let's get a jacket first!"

"Are we going to use my car or yours?" Garrof asked as he got up from the chair.

"Yours!" Lory shouted while hastily climbing up to the second floor.

"We'll wait in the car!" Lloyd increased his tone but still in a respectful manner and then he got out with Garrof.

However, no one noticed that Zhao Li Xin was staring at the Lory figure going to the second floor with a deep gaze, after a while he lowered his head. Zhao Li Xin rubbing his index finger with his thumb, appears to be lost in his thought.

After grabbing her and Zhao Li Xin's jacket Lory continued to run downstairs and handed a black suede leather jacket to Zhao Li Xin then the two of them immediately left in Garrof's jeep.

Since Blue Mirage City was a small city, they reached their destination quickly. When they arrived in front of the guild building, Lory saw a large wooden signboard with a picture of a black crow in front of the entrance of the two-story log building.

People came and went excitedly, some came carrying strange objects that were thought to be weapons or something, and some came with minor injuries on their bodies and faces but still laughed and joked with each other, but it wasn't a strange sight because of this. is part of a hunter's daily life.

"There are a lot of hunters," muttered Lory while looking towards the guild building.

"Not many guilds focus on making weapons. "I heard they also give discounts to regular members, so many hunters join," explained Lloyd.

"Don't judge from the outside, princess, The Black Crows guild has quite a big influence among Guilds because they provide weapons to other Guilds, at a set price of course," added Garrof.

"I can tell," Lory agreed.

Garrof parked his car not far from the Guild building after that they got out of the jeep at the same time. The presence of Lory and Zhao Li Xin attracted the attention of many people.

Lory no longer wore too much makeup because she thought no one would recognize her in a place like this, but because of that, her beautiful face was more exposed than before on the other Zhao Li Xin as usual also received a lot of attention but he remains indifferent as always as it was natural for him.

Those people whistled as Lory walked past them and gawked at Lory's figure with lewd eyes but they immediately averted their gazes when they received death glares from Zhao Li Xin and the others.

Lory herself didn't care, she was used to this. Even when she was thirteen years old when she first registered as a hunter in the guild Lory already received disgusting comments from several old hunters despite her tender age at that time, but every time something like that happened those people would receive Fargo and Fred's wrath.

fargo and Fred would make sure that there would be no more Hunters in that place who would dare think inappropriate things about Lory again and later on Lucas, Jay, and Clift join forces as Lory's impregnable fortress.

When they entered the guild building, the place was full of people. In some parts, there were rows of people delivering their kills while in other parts many people were signing their assignments, and in another corner of the building, the guild employees were showing off some weapons to the eager hunters.

"Wait here, I'll call my friend," said Garrof to Lory and the others before going to the registration table and then talking to one of the Lass guilds.

Zhao Li Xin found an empty chair leaning against the wall after making sure no one was sitting on it. Zhao Li Xin moved it behind Lory and then told Lory to sit down. After Lory sat down, Zhao Li Xin played with his cell phone to relieve his boredom while Lloyd guarded against any trouble from other hunters, after all not all hunters are good and honest people, especially in recent years,

After waiting for a while, Lory was startled by the loud voice, lory could only see the young man's back and his curled dark blonde hair but from his movement, Lory could tell the young man was agitated then he slammed the registration desk and berated the young lady, "What do you mean you can't contact him, isn't this your responsibility as the employer? No, don't tell me to calm down!"

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of all the hunters in the room and one by one they all turned their curious eyes to the young man's direction the same way with Zhao Li Xin, Lory, and Lloyd, they were also curious about what happened.

The Guild lass tried to explain but the young man seemed dissatisfied and he seemed to be struggling to force an explanation from the woman until finally, the woman picked up the phone with an anxious face after speaking a few words she hung up the phone and not long after a middle-aged man came and told the woman to step back after that he spoke to the young woman but Garrof who was standing close from the young man suddenly approached them and exchanged words with the man from the Guiild while glancing at Lory.

After exchanging words the man from the Guild turned his eyes at Lory and Zhao Li Xin and then said something to Garrof later on Garrof nodded.
