I Decided to Investigate
The next day.
I went to the guild in order to ask about Ordarion.
“I’m sorry, but do you mind if I ask you something?”
I said to the receptionist as I walked up to the counter.
These kinds of questions would look more suspicious if I tried to disguise them.
So I would pretend I didn’t know about the Rainmaking Device and just ask her upfront.
“Yes. What is it?”
“Is this Ordarion place safe? It’s one of the places I’m considering for my next destination.”
“What…Mister Yuji! You are leaving Boguinea!?”
She looked very surprised at this.
I was surprised she had remembered my name.
“Yeah. …There aren’t any lesser fire dragons left to kill.”
That was half of the reason.
Recently, there hadn’t been any sightings of lesser fire dragons in the area. It was an effect of the Fire Dragon’s appearance.
Not only that, but ordinary monsters had become scarce.
This was a good thing for the residents here, as it meant less damage…but for us Adventurers, that meant we would lose employment.
Peace was nice and all…but not doing anything for so long made you feel slothful…
As I was a corporate slave in my past life, I felt uncomfortable without anything to do.
“Indeed, Boguinea does not have much work for Adventurers now… But why Ordarion of all places?”
“Well, I had heard a rumor a while ago about it being a nice place to live. They said that it was safe.”
This was actually true.
I had heard this rumor about Ordarion while I was eating in town.
But I didn’t know if that meant it was a good place to live.
“Uhh…Well, I do believe it’s safe. Of course, it is a fairly odd place, so I don’t know if it will suit you…”
“An odd place?”
I hadn’t heard anything about that.
But from the way she talked about it, it seemed to be well known in this world.
What kind of place was it?
“It’s hard to explain… They are incredibly secretive and hate it when other towns of countries try to interfere with them. We rarely hear anything about their residents or Adventurers…”
“Secretive…”
“Yes. It seems that people with dark backgrounds like to gather there. As the residents don’t pry into your past as part of their culture, it is easy to settle down in.”
“Wait, so how is it safe?”
A secretive place with people with dark pasts?
That did not sound like a safe place to me.
“That’s why Ordarion is so special. The people are strongly united there. Any criminals are either driven out or killed. …That’s why it has the lowest crime rate of any town in this kingdom. I suppose you can say that they don’t pry…but they do monitor each other…”
I see…
It sounded kind of suffocating.
Still, I suppose it was a safe place as long as you didn’t commit any crimes.
“Thank you. I think that I’ll give it a visit.”
I said. The receptionist looked terribly disappointed.
“Mister Yuji. I would have been very happy if you stayed in this town… I have never seen an Adventurer hunt down so many lesser fire dragons…”
“Sorry. …I don’t have much experience as an Adventurer now, so I want to visit as many towns as possible.”
“…I understand. Well, if you ever feel like settling down, we’ll be waiting for you!”
“Yeah. I look forward to it.”
I said as I left the guild.
For now, I would check this Ordarion town out.
From what I heard, it did not seem like a dangerous place… So it couldn’t hurt to take a look.
◇
The next day.
I said goodbye to Gaiger and the guild manager before leaving the town of Boguinea on the back of the Proud Wolf.
The slimes were on my shoulder.
‘All right, take us to Ordarion.’
‘Leave it to me!’
The Proud Wolf was currently wearing the new armor made with the Fire Dragon gemstones.
As he would now run at an incredible speed, it did feel a little dangerous… Still, the Proud Wolf never ran into any trees, so I decided that it must be safe enough.
If it seemed dangerous, I could just switch to the weaker one.
‘All right. Let’s go then!’
‘Understood!’
So saying, the Proud Wolf’s legs kicked the dirt.
And then…at a ferocious speed, the scenery around me began to rush towards our backs.
It was a speed that was incomparable to what it had been.
I was sure that it was over 100 kilometers an hour.
Yes, the new armor had an incredible effect…
