Here we are! I thought as the Black Dragon landed in the Land of the Seas, Intoner's Five territory. We landed on an empty beach, but I saw a coastal town with a harbor in the distance.

"Enjoy your little party human." The black dragon walked along the beach.

"Won't you stay?"

"No, I don't like parties, too much noise for my taste, I prefer silence. I also believe the humans in the city just ahead would not be happy with my appearance."

"Don't worry Edric, it is just a grumpy old dragon, too old to party since its youth is long gone." Eupherbia mocked, landing on my shoulder.

"I want you to know that I'm not that old, I'm only twenty thousand years old!" The Black Dragon replied.

"Wow, he is old!" We both shouted surprised as the dragon grunted and walked away.

"Young people these days... They don't respect their elders."

Eupherbia and I headed towards the city, changing my armor set on the way. I equipped Yurt's set since no one saw me wearing this one before.

It was a merchant city, with ships constantly arriving and departing, bringing and taking goods as the streets bustled with merchants and sailors working on their vessels.

People looked at me curiously, probably due to the armor, and the fairy accompanying me. Speaking of the fairy...

"What do you think of the city, Eupherbia?"

"It stinks of fish." She grimaced, holding her nose.

"HA! You'll get used to it; there are worse smells after all."

"Serious? Like what?"

"Dead bodies."

"Where the hell did you come from, Edric?"

"Hm... Boletaria was not in a good situation."

"I hope I never see a place like this."

"I pray you never see one. But enough about bad places, why don't we explore a little before completing my quest?"

"Then what are we doing here? Come on!" She flew around me before darting through the streets.

Sighing, I ran after Eupherbia, thinking about a certain paper given to me before this mission.

-FLASHBACK-

"Listen here, Edric! You have no idea how important this quest is to the guild!" Reha said to me.

"I understand."

"Accomplishing a quest requested by an Intoner is one of the highest honors one can earn in Midgard!"

"I understand."

"Therefore I beg you! Act normally, please! No cutting off heads or covering yourself in the blood of your enemies!"

"I understand."

"Pay attention to what I am saying! This is a financing and satisfaction contract. If we can get Lady Five to sign this contract, not only will it be understood that she is satisfied with our work, but she will also finance us directly!" Reha handed me the contract.

"I beg you again, please behave yourself, do your best, and make sure Lady Five signs this contract." She said with teary eyes.

"Fine." I replied uncomfortably, I don't agree with that, but I'll do it for the good of the guild.
