Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 33: Finding the Princess

Leaving the thought of marriage behind, Arina and Grey decide to go to Risol City.

Eir is making preparations to shoot the ancient weapon they found before, while Anabeth Grey will be happy if she is always in a safe place.

Their horses ran across the meadow and Grey was grateful that he could meet Irena who led the others to set a trap in front of his town.

"Grey you're back" he said, "What's the matter?"

"We have a problem."

Inside the guild filled with adventurers plus Mary as a staff, Grey explained what happened to the king who was subject to the Undead King.

The atmosphere turned quiet, even so anyone in the city of Risol did not want to move out of place.

Grey can understand that, given that they love this city very much. From the start Grey would only move people who had lost their homes, he just tried first to offer them help.

Mary showed a doubtful face.

"Everything changes so quickly."

"So, I need a lot of adventurers who want to help me work for free, honestly we don't have a lot of money to pay for your services."

About 30 adventurers decided to help.

"Well, I'd love it if it could be a little useful."

"I think I am too."

"I'm really grateful."

These adventurers would send out news of the move on every border town to go to the Vardes kingdom, all this time even from them never thinking there was a human living out there, he said, it must have been hard to believe but with the seal the guild gave them they would no longer doubt about its authenticity.

"Then what about you?"

"For now I want to find a princess and also foil the Undead King deal as soon as possible."

"Then let us help too."

"I'm counting on you."

All the adventurers seemed to smile in response. Because of Grey's time, Arina and Irena's group have moved with a horse with them.

Their horse footsteps were clearly visible upon entering the wasteland. It's daytime and it's quite hot.

"Are you sure the princess is here Grey?" the question came from Irena.

"Yes, I've talked to him before, he said he'd love to go to the Oasis."

"Oasis?"

"It was a place written in a picture book, the place was said to be true."

"Aah so."

Everyone was relieved that Grey did not move recklessly. Eva and Winy are behind them watching while Angel and Arina are watching if there is someone chasing unexpectedly.

"It's really hot in here, is it okay to keep our horses moving?" ask Eva.

"In front there is a rest let's take shelter there," said Irena.

The place was on a cliff with a long rock at the top while the bottom had a gap to lie down. It's the only area not exposed to the sun.

Grey took out water from his storage ring, along with his potluck food, he also gave grass and water to their horses.

"You really prepared everything, I was thinking about how you'd go on an adventure on your own, now I know," Winy said.

"I think Grey's the kind of person who's ready for an umbrella before it rains."

"Obviously, he can also use holy magic."

"I thank you for the compliment I think. The air is quite hot so let's move when the air is cooler."

Everybody agreed to it.
