— crawl

“…Is this really necessary?”

Beacrox was the one who asked that question.
There was a terrible frown on his face as he crawled on the floor.

They were in a completely dark tunnel.

It was a tiny tunnel that an average adult male could barely crawl through, so Beacrox’s meticulously combed hair was being covered in dust.

“I thought we were heading toward the marble buildings because you said we were going toward Resting City.”

It was rare to see Beacrox sighing and grumbling like this.

He looked at the dust on his body and continued to frown. His white gloves were already extremely dirty.

Resting City, a free city located in the central region of the Eastern continent.

That was where the first branch of the Mercenaries Guild was built in the past, and it was where the building that was now being used as the central headquarters was located as well.

The original Mercenaries Guild base was an old three-story wooden building in the outskirts of Resting City.

This building used to be the central headquarters in the past, however, the Mercenaries Guild purchased land inside Resting City about two hundred years ago and built a new central headquarters that was quite spectacular and tall.

The new central headquarters was a building built with marble that was famous for its beautiful and extravagant exterior.

Choi Han, who was crawling in front of Beacrox, made a comment.

“You’re being so annoying.”

“…What did you say?”

Beacrox started to frown even more.

However, neither Choi Han nor Beacrox could say anything else.

“…Both of you should shut up.”

It was because they heard the ancient Dragon’s low voice.

"Goldie is mad."

Eruhaben was crawling as well and behind him Adileo who didn't have much struggle to crawl in the small tunnel.

Eruhaben was in a bad mood.and couldn't smack the young man behind him.

“Huff, huff, huff, huhuff-”

Mercenary King Bud Illis who was crawling at the front of the group was starting to cold sweat.

He started to speak.

“I, I’m sorry. The HQ will be alerted if an unauthorized person uses magic in this tunnel.”

There were magic circles throughout the tunnel.
These advanced magic circles did not match the shabby tunnel.

This was a secret passage that only the

Mercenaries Guild’s top leaders knew about. They made sure that no unauthorized person could use magic in the tunnel and the area at the end of the tunnel.

“Enough, just keep moving.”

Cale’s voice made Bud flinch before he started to quickly crawl once again. He said just one more thing to them.

“Ahem, I should have said something in advance, but I didn’t remember it until we got here. Ha. Ha, haha-”

It was the truth.

Thinking about bringing Cale here quickly but stealthily made the Mercenary King forget about the unique nature of this tunnel.

He heard Ron’s voice at that moment. It was a decently warm tone.
