Lyle wasn't without his own desires. Besides valuing Enri's command talent, he wanted to use this aspect of her talent to obtain the ability of the transmission magic known as "Message."
According to what Lyle knew, the "Commander-type" professions possessed a continuous "Message" ability, allowing them to maintain constant communication with members.
This kind of continuous communication should have limitations regarding profession and distance.
Lyle wasn't overly interested in that, but the "Message" magic—a means of long-distance communication—was something he needed to master.
Even within the Great Tomb of Nazarick, only a few people like the Bone King possessed this ability; other Floor Guardians could only use it by activating "Message" magic scrolls.
"Okay."
Enri felt a bit disappointed, but she immediately bowed, clutching the money bag tightly with both hands, unable to hide the happy expression in her eyes.
Lyle watched Enri's light-footed figure and followed with a gentle smile.
The Ghost Hound's temper wasn't very good, but it was only relatively close to Enri, likely because it had been in contact with her since it was small.
Lyle raised his hand and waved it over the coins on the table, putting them into his Inventory, with no intention of giving any to the Emerald Leaf Witch.
She didn't need it.
"How is your mastery of the 'Wild Shape' ability coming along?" Lyle looked toward the Emerald Leaf Witch.
"I haven't learned it yet; I need some time, Master."
The Emerald Leaf Witch lowered her head and spoke in a small voice.
Despite Lyle's gentle appearance toward Enri just now, the Twin Witches were very well aware of how terrifying he could be.
"Master, Sister has been working very hard." The White Mist Witch's head emerged from the Emerald Leaf Witch's chest, her voice sounding pleasant and delicate.
Lyle glanced at the White Mist Witch, knowing she had the ability to change her voice.
"As soon as possible."
"If you can master it, perhaps I can help you increase your strength."
Lyle said indifferently.
The Emerald Leaf Witch and the White Mist Witch were both stunned.
"Let's go, it's time to leave." Lyle stood up and walked out of the inn.
The White Mist Witch retreated back into the Emerald Leaf Witch's body, and the Twin Witches quickly followed.
Outside the inn.
The Ghost Hound pulling the carriage and Enri were already waiting at the entrance.
Lyle sat at the front of the carriage, his gaze calmly scanning the surrounding flow of people. He smiled slightly and raised his hand to pat the Ghost Hound: "Let's go."
"Awoo."
The Ghost Hound shook its head and easily pulled the carriage loaded with supplies toward the city gate.
On the bustling street, many figures quickly disappeared.
The top floor of the Adventurer's Guild.
Inside a room decorated with various weapons.
Guildmaster Ainzach toyed with a cold-storage magic container in his hand and waved his hand thoughtfully: "I understand."
"Yes, Guildmaster." The man standing nearby with a pocket watch on his chest and wearing a monocle turned respectfully.
"By the way, Adebar, you were the one who received him back then, right?" Ainzach suddenly looked up at the middle-aged man who was about to leave.
"Yes, Guildmaster." Adebar stopped and quickly replied.
This meticulous-looking man with a monocle was the same middle-aged man who had appraised the "Bone Chain" Lyle had sold.
"What was your impression of him?" Ainzach turned his head, a trace of a smile appearing on his serious face as he asked curiously.
Adebar was silent for a long moment before shaking his head: "I cannot give an evaluation, Guildmaster. At the very least, he should be a powerful person."
"How could someone who was wanted by the Empire and managed to escape safely be a weakling?" Ainzach sighed upon hearing Adebar's answer and withdrew his gaze:
"gold-rank adventurer 'Free Will' Tang, huh? During these two days he spent in 'E-Rantel', he didn't come to the Adventurer's Guild once."
"The Guildmaster is very interested in him; why not meet him?" Adebar raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said thoughtfully.
"Haha, I just didn't expect him to leave so soon. But then again, 'E-Rantel' is a border city after all; various situations are unclear, and safety is much worse."
"Selling alchemical potions in the central plaza was likely to raise supplies and money."
Ainzach continued to toy with the cold-storage container, talking to himself, then suddenly shook his head:
"It's better not to meet. The Adventurer's Guild is a neutral organization, after all, and does not participate in matters between nations."
Adebar didn't speak this time but remained silent, because both he and the Guildmaster knew very well.
Although the Adventurer's Guild was indeed a neutral organization, it didn't mean the members of the guild would honestly refrain from participating.
A bounty of 50,000 gold coins was a temptation that not just anyone could resist.
Outside the city gates.
Just as Lyle's group had driven out of the gates of "E-Rantel," an armored soldier quickly chased after them.
The sudden movement...
...caused a look of wariness to appear on the Emerald Leaf Witch's face. A surge of magical energy rippled through her body, making her look ready to release a spell at any moment.
Lyle waved his hand to stop the Emerald Leaf Witch's actions, a curious expression appearing on his face as he looked at the soldier who had caught up.
"Are you His Excellency 'Free Will' Tang?" The soldier panted as he ran to the front of the carriage and quickly spoke.
"And you are?" Lyle remained seated on the carriage, just looking at the soldier with curiosity.
"I am a guard under Lord Panasore. I represent the noble lord to deliver a gift to you." The soldier raised his arm to his chest and bowed slightly, then pulled out a wooden box and handed it over.
