Harkon and the group of adventurers stumbled through the portal into the Sleeping Serpent Inn.Everyone who was in the Sleeping Serpent Inn immediately stopped their activities and looked towards the group of adventurers.
Although none of the adventurers were injured they were clearly exhausted and worn out having faced a tough battle.The faces of the surrounding people were stern and serious.They had seen the magic portal and they were suspicious and wary regarding magic.This was the case for all normal people.
They had also heard rumours that adventurers were guarding a trading caravan against possible monsters.These normal folk wanted nothing to do with monsters or magic so they simply ignored the adventurers and got back to their activities.
By the entrance of the Sleeping Serpent Inn however there was a low class B scout of one of the royal guard squadrons.He was a royal scout under Kerry the Slicers company and he was one of the many scouts placed about Ring City waiting for the return of the adventurers and to report them back to Kerry the Slicer.
The royal scout immediately headed over to the position of the group of adventurers who were getting back on their feet.The scout immediately tried to get an answer of what happened to them.
"Well what happened?.Did you encounter any necromancers and undead out there?.I need to report this to the captain."the scout was desperate to get all the details.
Harkon didn't answer any of the questions the scout asked him nor did the rest of the group.Harkon simply took out a potion to restore his mana and energy.He drank half of it then gave the rest to Ruth who also had most of her mana depleted.She accepted it gratefully and drank it's energising contents.
"Take me to your captain I will tell him everything that happened personally on the condition that I can join the atrack on the necromancers."Harkon spoke authoritively as he was in a bad mood.
He was in a bad mood due to the fact that Kerry the Slicer had knowingly sent them on a mission that would highly likely result in their deaths.Some of Harkons close friends died whilst protecting that blasted trading caravan.If Harkon hadn't been careful it could have easily included him.
The scout wanted to retort but seeing Harkons unwilling expression decided against it although the scout could very easily beat Harkon up.He gestured for Harkon to follow him.
"We're coming too.We also want revenge on the people who killed our long term friends."Ruth,Reginold and the other surviving adventurers also wanted to come along and have their revenge.
"Fine come along then."said the scout reluctantly as they followed him as a group to Kerry the Slicers location.
Kerry the Slicer was waiting in his office after he had talked to two other royal guard captains for help on this matter.The first captain he talked to was a black skinned foreigner who had expressed interest in joining the royal guard years ago after his many years of travel and he had met the requirements to be a captain on the spot.
His name was Terro Orgoo and he was in the low class A.He had agreed to join in the raid on the necromancers once the evidence of their existence was considered concrete.
The second captain he talked to was a nineteen year old who had managed to reach the royal captain stage and the low-mid class A in no time at all due to a rare extreme condition he possessed.His name Derris Novero and he was a young noble of Ring City.If it wasn't for his lack of talent in wielding mana he would've have reached an even higher class and probably would've been considered a prodigy.He had agreed to join the attack on the necromancers once evidence of their existence was concrete.
All that was left was the evidence and Kerry the Slicer looked up solemnly as the door to his temporary office opened up.As he had expected one of his scouts came in but he had also come with company.They were some of the adventurers that Kerry had hired.
"So tell me what happened."ordered Kerry the Slicer as Harkon began reciting his tale which made Kerry the Slicer raise his eyebrows at some parts including the bit about the spell casting skeleton.Kerry immediately asked the others about this in order to validate Harkons claims.
"Could the necromancers be experimenting on creating new undead.Either way I have to stop them before they create a powerful abomination."thought Kerry as Harkon finished his firsthand account of the attack.
"Thank you for this valuable intel we'll make sure to deal with this possible cult."said Kerry as he stood up to go and make preparations.
"Wait captain we want to join in the attack."Harkon and the other adventurers made their case known and Kerry agreed.
