Chapter 477: Wyvern Quest! (pt. II)

FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP

Page after page, after page... Grey and Yuna read through the documents Countess Tifania gave them and the two read them at extreme speeds as always, eyes shifting left and right as they flipped through them.

Most of them were vague reports and testimonies, the citizens of Ortega and the travelers doing the best they could to give the most reliable detail they could. There weren't many witnesses but it was a good start.

Some adventurers who just managed to luckily come back were also able to give some rough details about where the Wyverns are making nests. So far, after all the testimonies they have collected, they were able to narrow the areas of suspicion.

"Northwest... That's quite vague, isn't it?" ［Grey］

"I truly apologize, Your Highness. The forest surrounding Ortega is far too big to scour, and we were only able to pinpoint the general direction." ［Tifania］

"No, it's more than enough. It's better than nothing." ［Grey］

"I see... That's a relief..." ［Tifania］

Ortega is a big city, rich in resources and filled with various landscapes where one could gather all sorts of things. In the east and southeast there were plains, in the northeast was a winding river leading to a lake, and other else was a massive forest.

It has only been 2 days since the Wyverns started attacking, and judging from the ink marks on the map atop the office table, Countess Tifania has been gathering all the reports she could and narrowing down the place where Wyverns are nesting.

And though the problem only started 2 days ago, it seems that someone had spotted one much earlier, about 4 days ago. The Wyverns have arrived to hunt in the nearby forest, but somehow, one ended up wandering too close to the city.

There was one, and then there were 2, and then many more. More and more Wyverns gathered around the city with every passing hour, attempting to break down the barrier and feast on the humans under its protection.

"Countess, we heard that you already sent scouts to the forest. Do you still not have a word from them?" ［Yuna］

"I have, but it was no use. The forest is too big and the Wyverns are too alert... We had a few scouts spot some Wyverns, but they were all chased with their lives on the line, some losing their limbs, and some..." ［Tifania］

The Countess couldn't finish her words, clearly trembling in anger and dismay as she clenched her fists. She had already sent the best scouts of the city, and yet, there are a handful of them who haven't returned.

Worst of all, they were only able to figure out where the nest's general location was because of the sacrifice of their scouts. They crossed out the directions where the scouts didn't return and sure enough, they were able to narrow it down.

"Haah... Please calm yourself down, Countess. There's nothing wrong with getting angry, but we can't have our emotions get the better of us." ［Grey］

"O-Of course. I apologize for my thoughtless actions." ［Tifania］

"Maybe, you're just too stressedー Ah! Maybe this will help." ［Yuna］

Said Yuna as she suddenly took a couple of things from her storage ring. There was a teacup, a teaspoon, a thermos bottle, and some instant tea powder they sell in the shopping mall. It was a small box with about a dozen packs.

It was Chamomile tea which is greatly known for its soothing and relaxing effects. Yuna would have loved to serve her a more appropriate refreshment, but they aren't exactly in a situation where they could afford to waste time.
