Path Of A King

The First Request Accepted!

Chapter 4

Emily and I headed towards the guild building. The familiar stone streets and grey brick buildings are the only scenery available. We arrived at the adventurers guild building at around the time it was about to close. As we entered the building a group of adventures were exiting the building. I overheard their conversation, it was a group of 6 adventurers 4 female and 2 males by the look of their equipment they are probably green rank or maybe even the rank that followed green rank.

"You think it was a good idea to get that request Syki?"

"Yes of course Lylia! It's just an investigation and It pays six hundred shells!"

"But isn't weird that a whole squadron of soldiers disappeared just like that? The story itself scares me! The job is red rank or higher! it's the hardest rank request we've ever done."

"Lylia . . . I'm red rank, and if anything happens I'll be sure to protect the group. Like I said before it's only an investigation we won't run into any danger, so relax."

The two girls that were talking seem to have accepted a request inquiring into the disappearance of the 10 soldiers in the northwestern part near the DarkWood Forest. The girl named Syki seems to be the leader of the group of six adventures. She is about 180cm in height and wearing a steel-colored metal chest plate with a steel lower layered guard that ends by her knees. Also, her shoulders seem to be protected by a similar layered guard that appeared to be made of steel as well. Under her armor, she appeared to wear skin-tight black clothing similar to a compression shirt. It covered her arms and legs even around her chest ending on her neck. She has black eyes and white hair that is made into a single ponytail held by a red string. A single long two-handed sword with a blue ember near the end of the hilt was sheathed on her hip. The second girl named Lylia is around 172cm in height, she is wearing a single piece of blue battle armor made from Ura Shell. Black leather seems to be sewn on the sides of her hips to protect her lower guard. The shoulder guards also seem to be made of the same black leather. Her hair is black and freely dangled all the way to her shoulders. Two iron short swords were strapped behind her back.

"You guys don't need to worry because I'll protect all of you."

"Erien you are still just a white rank the most you could do is run if we run into danger in this red rank request."

"Shut up Berym! I may be white rank but I'll level up soon to green rank! Then I'll be just like you."

"You two are weak I am second only to Syki at Blue rank."

"The only one that's weak is you, Norma!"

The man called Erien is about 182cm tall and appears to be wearing brown leather armor. Iron studs cover his chest and hip guards to aid in absorbing hits from swords. A short dagger hung next to his right hip sheathed but ready to be used at a moment's need. The boy has light brown short curly hair with a narrow face that looks like it screams "I am stronger than you!"
The second man called Berym is tall at around 205cm. Equipped, with iron armor that covers his whole body leaving no unguarded spot a single battle axe was strapped to his back. A helmet that had two short horns on each side that covered his face at all times was equipped.
The woman named Norma who was a blue-rank adventurer was around 190 cm tall and had a very voluptuous body that caught any man's eye. Her armor was steel armor that had brown studded leather. The chest was protected by brown studded leather with a steel plate on top. Her shoulders had leather guards with steel that layered over them. The hips were protected by the same studded brown leather with layered steel over it, she also had skin-tight clothing that covered her arms and legs. Her back was equipped with a grey cape that dangled all the way to her back knees. Norma had long steel daggers on each of her hips a median size one-handed sword was strapped behind her back, underneath the grey cape. Norma has long red hair, a single braid on each side of her head that ran towards the back of her hair, and she has big Blue eyes with silky white skin.
