Finally, after a little under two months on the road... or rather, sand for the most part, we had arrived at our goal.
The Labyrinth City of Rapan was a thriving city, with the massive bones of a long-dead Behemoth standing tall surrounding the settlement that was built on an oasis like a cage.
It was pretty damn cool, and much different than any other city I had seen before.
The world really was a wide place, huh?
With many labyrinths and dungeons littered in and around the city, the place was full of adventurers from all over the world who had come to clear said labyrinths and dungeons with the promise of fame and fortune, and merchants to sell anything that was retrieved.
It was neat, that was for sure. And from the sparkle in Rudy's eyes as it came into view, I could tell he was interested in the place... but we weren't here to sightsee.
With our goal being to meet up with Paul and his group, even if we arrived much earlier than expected, he should still be in and around the area, so our first step was...
"Let's head to the Adventure Guild," I said as we began walking through the city. "I'm guessing it's the biggest building here, but do you know where it could be?"
Rudy, who knew the Fighting God language that this land used, had been the one handling our trading and communicating with the locals, which included gathering information, so we had been leaving things like these up to him.
"It should be near the centre of the city, at least from what I've heard," Rudy said, wiping off some sweat from his forehead. "Ahh... I wish Aisha made me a damn cap."
"Well, if you're jealous, then... that's a shame," I shrugged. "At least it's cooler up north, so I won't be using it anymore."
"Huh? Why?" he asked.
"Because I don't want our father to make fun of me and make me beat him up for it," I said.
After all, while it was a cute wool cap, it didn't really fit in with my current style, and it definitely didn't fit in with the local fashion.
"...Your family is the weirdest," Sara sighed.
"And you're in it," I said, smirking. "Anyway, let's go."
It didn't take long to find the guild, as there were many adventurers filtering through the massive front doors of the large building, and it had a giant painted icon of a sword plastered over the front doors.
Overall, a pretty impressive building.
It wasn't as big or grandiose as the Millishion branch, but it was still larger than any other guild building I had seen on the Demon Continent.
Well, this was a city meant for adventuring, so that made sense.
"I'll stand here at the entrance," I said as we walked in. "I don't remember all of their faces, but I should be able to spot one of Paul's people if they come through. Meanwhile, you two go ask if anyone has seen our dear father around."
While most of the adventurers here spoke the Human tongue, there were still a few that we would need Rudy's expertise in the Fighting God language to understand.
Plus, those two were much better at talking with people, and especially adventurers.
"Got it," Rudy said, taking Sara's hand. "Just don't get in any fights, brother!"
"Don't worry," I said. "I'd finish it before it could be considered a fight."
"...That's not what I meant," he mumbled as they went off, leaving me to lightly chuckle to myself.
