Chapter 404 Hyroon Family Arrive To Hogolsworth
"No! It's not! There is a certain magic inscription that can only be read in real quest plates. Its use is to verify if a quest plate is real or not. These guys are really adventurers." The older man stood up. He was most likely in his late fifties. A shorter man that was slightly on the heavier side.
"My apologies, Lord Lyrian, and adventurers. Thank you for saving us from those horrible adversaries from the Black Petal Sect." As the older man said this, he bowed, and so did all the other people within the room. Hyren looked back at his people, before reluctantly bowing as well.
"Of course. We are here on a mission to safely transport you to Hogolsworth, so we can't have you dying on us, can we? So... you knew who I was from the start?"
"Well yes." The older man raised his head and stood up. "However, the Black Petal Sect is known for creating humanoids. A duplicate or clone is also very within their arsenal of skills, so I needed a real quest plate before I could fully trust you."
"I see... then, I take it everyone knows why we are all here then? There is no need for explanation, right?"

"Well..." A middle-aged man said from the back, "I would like to know... what that horrible, evil spiritual energy from before was. Was that from the Black Petal Sect!?"
"What!? No way!" Another person from inside of the room said, this time a woman who seemed to not want to believe what the first man said. "If it was... just how did you defeat it? We were all knocked unconscious for a while, so we don't know what happened afterward."
Lyrian scratched his head, pausing for a while as everyone in the room looked at him with anticipation. Osikae looked at him with a slightly different gaze from everyone else. 'What is he going to say...?' Lyrian finally spoke, "Well, first of all, no, that wasn't the Black Petal Sect. We don't know what it was either, but it didn't do anything more than reveal its aura, it seems."
"I see... so the only ones from the Black Petal Sect are the two of the Five Finger huh..." Hyren exclaimed to himself. "Everyone, shall we head out now? We have to be back by tomorrow." Lyrian stated as everyone stood up, "We can talk about everything else during the journey to Hogolsworth."
"Right." "That's fine with me." "Thank you, Lord Lyrian!" "We are actually saved..." Many began to rejoice, but Hyren still seemed to hold an angry expression on his face, 'Our entire village was killed, yet they only talk about how they are safe? Tsk! I should kill them myself!' He thought to himself.
Suddenly, his father placed his hand on his shoulder, "Hyren, I understand how you feel, but that is even more of a reason to stop and plan your next move carefully. We must get revenge on that sect... so don't be foolish." Hyren's father spoke with a serious gaze toward the end of his statement.
"You're right, father. I will get revenge no matter what. I swear it!" And with that, the ten higher-ranking members of Jambaal, and also members of the Hyroon family, all joined Lyrian and the adventurers in returning to Hogolsworth.
They all accompanied Igor and Hawkeye on their travel and arrived at Hogolsworth at the same time that it took the adventurers to get there. As they got there, however, almost no one roamed the streets for some reason.
The Hyroon family and the others immediately knew what to do, and after thanking Lyrian and the others, left them to do their own things.
Lyrian returned to the Adventurer's Guild with the adventurers and turned in their quest, getting the gold in return.
The lady behind the counter fairly split the total prize of the quest up into 6 pouches of gold and handed it to each adventurer. However, everyone turned to Lyrian when they received their gold.
"You deserve it all, Lord Lyrian. You saved our lives today. Without you, neither this mission nor our lives would have been saved." Cylline said as she handed her portion to Lyrian.
"Hm! It is true." Solvir agreed, handing his portion over with a proud smile on his face.
"No disagreements here!" Zyon placed his pouch of gold out toward Lyrian.
"Lord Lyrian, if I were to take this gold, the bad Karma of the enlightened one would surely fall on top of me like an anvil. Please, accept this." Osikae handed his portion over.
"I wanted to enjoy the Red Light District today... but I can't do it with your money, Lord Lyrian." Rothis handed his portion over as well with a hint of reluctance.
Lyrian was slightly taken aback by this but didn't hesitate too much when taking the money. "I'll gladly accept it. Till next time!" With this, they all went their separate ways.
"Hey guys... we never did fight any bandits did we?" Rothis hysterically commented. "Pahaha! All that big talk about the treacherous roads between Jambaal and Hogolsworth, and in the end, we didn't even get a glimpse of it." Zyon laughed wholeheartedly.
"Hey... I'm not complaining. But, even if we did face bandits, with Lord Lyrian by our side, they wouldn't have done squat." Solvir added with an amusing tone.
"What a truly amazing boy... sometimes, it doesn't even seem like he's fully human. Right?" Cylline thought out loud, as though in a trance.
The others laughed at her proposal, but Osikae stared at her seriously as he mused, 'No way... there is no way that the Bloodline of that boy is human. I refuse to believe it.'
