A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Ladies, we are almost at Colin Village."

The driver's words drew our attention to the outside of the car window while we were chatting.

I saw a small village quietly sitting at the foot of the mountain. Outside the village, there were tents of various styles connected together, and the area was even much larger than the village.

It seems that the guild sent quite a lot of people.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the bridge over the small river at the entrance of the village and stopped.

"Well, goodbye everyone! My home is next to the mill at the east end of the village, and you're all welcome to come visit anytime!"

Nora waved goodbye to us and walked into the village.

"Let's go find President Locke first." Sophia said.

......

"Why are there so many adventurers? I thought they were all from the guild..." Beora whispered as she looked at a team of fully-equipped adventurers.

As soon as we walked into the outskirts of the guild headquarters, we saw all kinds of free adventurers. No wonder their tents looked completely different from a distance.

This peculiar combination of the four of us also attracted the attention of many adventurers.

"The news of the dungeon's appearance has already spread among adventurers. It was probably released intentionally by the guild... It's normal to have more people." Sophia explained.

"Besides, if we want to explore such a large dungeon with the guild's own strength, it will probably take a lot more time."

"Oh......"

Beora uttered an "oh" and then continued:

"Then is it okay for me to do some business with them?"

"Hehe, the guild has its own business, and it's better for money-loving Beola not to steal their jobs~"

Kelulu reminded.

"Hmph, then why don't I just cooperate with them? My goods are strong, and I can get anywhere!"

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, I saw a staff member in a guild uniform selling various equipment commonly used in adventures at a makeshift counter.

“There are also scrolls for sale…” the master suddenly said.

My eyes also rested on the bundles of parchment rolls on the stall.

Magic scrolls are very practical disposable consumables that can be used by adventurers who don't know magic in various situations where spellcasting is required.

However, it is said that most of the scrolls on the market are low-level magic. Instead of spending money to buy them, it is better to directly spend money to hire a magician...

Of course, this is based on the premise that you can encounter the rare profession of mage.

After staying in the academy for a long time, I almost feel that there are too many people who know magic in the outside world...

From this point of view, scrolls are more versatile.

In short, at first glance, there were no eye-catching products on the stalls, so the four of us went straight to the center of the base, the big tent belonging to the guild.

"What do you want? Please show me your proof."

The guild members guarding outside the tent stopped them.

"We're going to see President Locke. We've already made an appointment in advance." Sophia said, taking out the adventurer badge.

There is one thing that has always puzzled me: what is the status of a C-rank adventurer in the adventurer world?

In a medium-sized city like Sesar City, there are only two permanent C-level adventurer teams. One is Uncle Svana's "Spark", and the other is a team that was destroyed by the goblins...

As for those scattered C-level adventurers, although the exact number is unknown, there won’t be too many.

At that moment, the guild member who was guarding the account immediately straightened his attitude when he saw the silver badge.

I don’t know if it was because I saw “C-level” or because I saw Sophia’s last name…

"Ms. Sophia, the president is inside, waiting for you four to arrive. Please come in."

......

"Ah, long time no see, Miss Sophia. I remember the invitation was sent out about two months ago. There must be something important that made you all come so late..."

Mr. Locke seems to be a little dissatisfied in his words...

"It is indeed important, President Locke. I was in the North two months ago and was stuck in some well-known affairs, so I was delayed. Please don't blame me."

Sophia is so experienced in talking to these high-ranking figures. In fact, it was because I saw the letter late that I was delayed, but she insisted that we were right...

After hearing what Sophia said, the slight dissatisfaction in President Locke's tone subsided.

After all, the changes that happened in the North some time ago have now spread throughout the entire continent...Sophia's father's reputation has become famous again, and it is estimated that President Locke will not be able to bring up this matter.

"No need for greetings. I welcome all of you who are willing to attend the meeting. After all, you are the ones who are most familiar with the dungeon..."

Eh? After so much time, are we still the ones who are "most familiar" with the dungeon?

"To be honest, the exploration of the underground city is currently at a standstill. I was having a headache over this, and then you guys arrived. This is really great news."

"That shouldn't be the case. There are so many capable people in the guild, would they actually be looking forward to someone like us who has only been in there once?"

"Ms. Sophia, please stop teasing me. You had already reached the bottom of the dungeon and brought back important information. Our current progress..."

President Locke was unwilling to continue talking. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the progress of the exploration...

"Ah? Is it so difficult to reach the bottom floor? Didn't we just jump down from that passage?" Beora asked.

"Unfortunately, Miss Beora, the exploration routes mentioned in the reports, including the one chosen during the retreat, are no longer found or have been destroyed. The reason is unclear. In short, the result is that we can only explore from top to bottom, layer by layer. I'm afraid you can't imagine the resistance you encounter."

At that time, we were only concerned with retreating and didn't pay any attention to what was happening behind us.

"So...what about the vampire professionals that President Locke mentioned inviting last time? Didn't they help?"

When the vampires were mentioned, President Locke's expression turned grim.

"This matter...I didn't think enough at the beginning. I thought that as long as the general manager showed up, I could coordinate the cooperation between several parties..."

President Locke said that the Blood Clan did send someone here two months ago, although it was only one person...

"Let's just assume that the vampires didn't take this seriously. I thought so at the time. As long as it could advance the investigation, it would be fine if someone came to show some appreciation and act as a guide... Who knows..."

President Locke began to talk about what happened when he just started exploring the dungeon two months ago...
