"Who exactly are the two" asked one of the servants wearing a black and white traditional service uniform.
"The grandfather looked very powerful, if only he was a few years younger." said another waiter while imagining Steve's face.
"In the meantime the little boy could already use magic in his youth." The waiter intended to report this incident to his employer. Those nobles would be attracted by such a rare talent. And maybe the waiter will get some gold coins, in return.
Not only him, but everyone was thinking the same thing.
"Hey, do you know the two people? From his clothes, I'm sure he comes from a middle-class family, right?" ask one of the waiters to the waiter who works at the store. The question caught the attention of everyone, who just sharpened his sense of hearing to gather as much information as possible.
"Yes, they are ..."
And, the employee immediately told me about his experience when he met the moon wolf monster. Which makes the listeners amazed and hold their breath.
They did not know that there was a figure who did not listen to the story.
In Bernard's study, 3 cups of tea were prepared on a table of dark brown wood. At first glance, Antares saw that there were many shelves filled with books decorating the space. Not to forget a vase containing green plants that cool the eyes is placed in the corner of the room.
"I'm so happy because of your visit, Steve's grandfather. Otherwise, maybe I should pay unnecessary tribute to those thugs. Ah, that makes me wonder, why are they using your name?"
"Honestly, I don't know either. We just arrived a few days ago with your group. All we know, this is related to the Black Wolf's dark organization. More than that, I don't know anything." The grandfather said while squinting his eyes at the child sitting next to him.
Bernard saw the gentle movement and immediately came to a realization. He nodded a few times while raising his cup.
"I think that's the problem. Maybe they realize you're a great fighter, Grandpa. That's why they use this kind of method."
"Ah, I don't understand." (Steve)
"The problem is, did the thugs also come to the other stalls or was it mine? If they come to another kiosk, inevitably you have to deal with law enforcement officials. Of course I can help you take care of this, but once you're free, maybe Antares' son will never be found again." The middle-aged man looked at the sweet child who had remained silent since then. His attitude was quite unusual for a child his age, but Bernard had no intention of looking any further.
"I mean, they want to kidnap me but are afraid of you, grandfather."
"Ah, then what should we do?" There was no significant change in Steve's face, so it is not known whether he pretended not to understand or was indeed stupid. Honestly, the sight made Bernard smile a little.
"Let them.
try it." Antares said without much expression.
"Hm, let them kidnap you? All right, I'll entrust those shameless people to you." Steve nodded slowly, which made Bernard a little confused.
"Is that okay? The Black Wolf Horde had a fighter who was at least on par with the Adamantium-class adventurers on its side. Maybe the Antares boy will never have a chance to escape!"
"Adamantium, I'm not sure how strong they are. However, I'm sure visa trusts this kid's abilities. Ah, speaking of adventure, do you know about the Red Vortex?"
"You mean the adventure group that just got raised to the adamantium class? Yeah, I guess they're still on a mission for now." Bernard slightly squinted his eyes.
"No need to drag it, just tell them, Antares Oliviare is being chased by wolves, that's enough" Antares said with a tired face.
Yeah, I can imagine it clearly.// Bernard thought to himself.
"All right, I'll pass it on to them. Do you have a certain relationship with them?"
"Yes, but not really. We only met once. They looked like energy-filled youths back then. Not afraid to challenge danger, but also not reckless. I have to admit, they're a great party." Steve chuckled while recounting his experience with the young men.
Bernard listened carefully to the grandfather's story, as the children told the story. Steve didn't tell me the part where everyone is called in the dream world. Steve has no special relationship with Ren, however, so he is afraid to tell it. To ordinary humans, Ren was an existence whose existence was too frightening to imagine. Steve could sleep in his bed tonight and never wake up again.
It was also what Antares often thought, but his master suddenly came and tied him up. It was almost like a routine that both of them had followed.
Hm, lately he has rarely visited me. Is there a problem going on out there? indeed he was extremely powerful, but, not the strongest entity. Ren, I hope you're okay... // Antares prays to the only god he trusts.
"Ah right too, Antares intends to open a small shop in the western district. Do we still have to register with trade associations?" asked Steve who suddenly remembered something.
"It's true, no matter where you are, you have to enroll in the association. The registration process is not complicated, later I can shorten the time. If I may know, what business would you like to open, son Antares?"
Hm, there are actually too many businesses that I want to open. But for a while, maybe I should open some kind of bar? no, that's all.
"I just want to open the restaurant, for a small step."
"Oh, I can't wait to taste your food in the future. Do you already know the building and location for the shop?" he said with a big smile.
"Yes, I was thinking of opening it on the W line
Endigo is not far from the traditional market."
"Hm, why is that place? wouldn't it be better if you opened it in the area around Green Peacock? There are many visitors from out of town every day."
"No, there are already too many inns serving food or bars, so the competition there will be too tight. Meanwhile, the Endigo area is not too much competition, after all I intend to sell cheap fast food to residents. So, there's the best option."
"Once it seems, well I can take care of it. I think all these procedures will be completed in 2-3 days, or even sooner. Wait for the good news from me." Bernard smiled widely once more.
Antares and Steve spent a little longer then until the two said goodbye. Antares takes the right path which is slightly twisted. Wandering around in the eastern district looking for a container, only after that the two returned to the Green Peacock inn.
Meanwhile, one of the maids came out of the gustav shop with a letter heading to the guild in the central area.
On the other hand, Antares could sense the presence of several scouts around him very clearly. It made him squint a little, but he still let it go for now.
