Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 69: The Captain and the Medical Fund

Faced with such an odd girl, the faces of the adventurers had darkened. If they hadn't seen that EeDeChi's metal badge was of rare orichalcum level, while they were merely mithril level, they would have lost their tempers long ago.

EeDeChi was examining others with an intensity that was exactly like a middle-aged woman meticulously selecting ingredients at a market. Before she could annoy even more people, Barrett quickly grabbed her and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Aren't we at a High-tier adventurer meeting? Why isn't there a single adamantite-level adventurer here? It's all mithril-level and orichalcum-level ones," EeDeChi replied, looking dejected. It seemed she really hadn't found the right "ingredients."

"Adamantite-level adventurers are like chosen ones; it's not easy to meet them. They wouldn't bother with such meetings," Barrett explained. "In the entire Re-Estize Kingdom, there are only three adamantite-level adventurer teams! Besides, the Adventurer's Guild has no authority to enforce attendance; even some mithril-level and orichalcum-level ones haven't shown up."

EeDeChi shook her head repeatedly. "These adventurers are so disorganized, undisciplined, and laid-back. What a mess! You say there are three adamantite-level adventurer teams. What are their names? And which one is the strongest?"

"The three adamantite-level teams are named 'Red Drop,' 'Blue Roses,' and 'Darkness,'" Barrett pondered for a moment before answering. "The strongest among them should be 'Darkness.'

"As far as I know, the 'Darkness' team consists of only two people, a man and a woman, while the other teams have several members. The fewer members a team has, the stronger each member's combat ability is.

"And 'Darkness' is a newly risen adventurer team in recent years. They've gone from being unknown to getting an Adamantite badge just as quickly as you rose to Orichalcum," Barrett noted.

Barrett had secretly inquired about EeDeChi's background and knew that she had suddenly appeared in the adventurers' field of view and quickly leveled up to Orichalcum, rising faster than a goat with its butt on fire.

EeDeChi nodded thoughtfully. "Interesting. A two-person adamantite-level team like 'Darkness' must have a strong sense of justice. Maybe we can recruit them to fight against Ainz Ooal Gown. I should find a chance to talk to them."

"Stop obsessing over that big demon lord. Isn't living a good life enough?" Barrett said as he pulled out a chair and they both sat down in a corner of the tavern.

"You wouldn't understand. This is my mission." EeDeChi gazed out of the tavern window, the glow from the magical candelabrum casting a faint golden hue on her face.

They chatted idly for a while, while the adventurers in the 'Golden Harbor' tavern continued their noisy revelry. Along one side of the tavern, there was a wooden stage that usually featured a band playing elegant music.

However, at the moment, all the instruments, including the cello and timpani, had been removed, leaving only the empty wooden platform. It seemed the guildmaster was about to make an appearance.

Soon, a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a few freckles on his face, ran up to the stage. From his golden-embroidered black robe, it was clear he was a mage apprentice.

Standing on the stage, the boy used a magically amplified voice to shout at the adventurers below, "Quiet! Quiet! The Adventurer's guildmaster is about to appear!"

But the adventurers continued their conversations, drinking, and boasting, completely ignoring him. The noise in the tavern did not diminish.

The boy, feeling quite frustrated, pulled out his wand and cast a sonic boom spell. A white sphere of light exploded at the tip of his wand with a thunderous crash, nearly shaking the crystal chandelier off the ceiling.
