Transmigrated as a Ghost

780 Chapter 780

"To begin with these events are not wholly unrelated but they are separate." Boreas said before explaining what had happened.

To start, Valerius Leistung, the Grand Master of the Northern Quadrant of the adventurers guild had come inquiring about Marcus and Mrazivý.

They had both agreed to be promoted to mithril rank adventures after their marriage and news had spread that they would soon be joined.

This had caused Valerius to come personally to confirm their intentions and that they still wished for the unique skill orbs he had promised them.

"He also hinted that there was an important mission he wanted to petition to the two of you. Though it did not seem extremely urgent as he said he was willing to wait a while. However, while that was harmless enough, what happened next was anything but."

Boreas' took on a grave expression and explained what else occurred during the Valerius' visit.

"I do not know if the two of you remember his subordinate Petrus Stone?" Boreas asked Marcus and Mrazivý.

"Yeah, I remember him. He did not say much, but he did have quite the presence and he tried to intimate Mrazivý into telling him about the Sword Savant." Marcus said, recalling the man who had sat in on their inquiry after the battle with the Doomsday Worm.

"I asked my master about him later and he just told me that they fought a long time ago and that he was surprised Petrus was still alive. Apparently, they both were grievously injured in the battle and my master even said that he only just barely pulled through by using an elixir he had luckily gotten from a dungeon. Though he did not seem to have any animosity like Petrus does. Did something happen between the two of them? Mrazivý asked, a look of concern on her face.

"Yes, well this time, when Petrus accompanied Valerius, he took time off to track down Asher and the two of them fought."

It had apparently happened two weeks ago. Asher the Sword Savant on his quest to constantly hone his sword skills and gain greater power was training in the Verkoudhied Mountains and acting as a sparring partner for Retharin.

Petrus, after finding him immediately attacked and the two of them had made quite the mess of the Verkoudhied Mountains and caused terrible damage to some of the settlements in the area by causing a number of avalanches.

"In the end Asher killed Petrus. But Valerius did not take kindly to his right-hand man getting killed and asked that we help to have Asher be brought in. He even went so far as to use his authority to issue an emergency quest through the guild, and there was little I could do to stop him without physically forcing his hand and souring relations with the guild." Boreas said with a grimace.

Immediately after he said this, Quillon, who had been quite so far, said with a tone filled with fury, "So, did you help apprehend my master and hand him over to this Valerius?"

As he said this, small animals within the area feared for their lives as they felt his murderous intent.

These animals, which included mice and birds, began fleeing the area and created a noticeable stir all around them.

"Of course, we did not hand him over! He aided Borealia in our time of need and fought against the Dread Devour with us. Now calm yourself and allow Boreas to finish explaining." Gwyneira said sharply in response to Quillon letting off such hostility.

This helped him calm down a bit, and he nodded towards Boreas and urged him to continue.

"As Gwyneira said, we did not hand him over, and did all we could to slow down the search for him that did not seem as if we were interfering. Last I heard he left the continent and crossed over to the continent west of here. And he told Retharin that if you wanted to find him to follow him there. The guild is still looking for him, but I doubt they will find him easily. If you want, I can send you over to the continent right now and you can begin searching for him?"

For a moment Quillon almost jumped at Boreas' offer but sat back down and shook his head.

"No, master will be fine on his own. I have had to find him plenty of times before and can do it again later. He said he was planning on leaving Borealia sooner or later anyway. And If I went now, I would not be here for my friends' wedding." Quillon said as he looked over at Marcus and Mrazivý.

Naturally Mrazivý was almost as concerned about the Sword Savant as Quillon since he was her master as well.

? Nevertheless, she knew he was still stronger than she was now and that he could take care of himself.

"I am sure that we can ascertain his location and exactly what happened later. For now, we have other things to worry about." Mrazivý said resolutely.

"Good to see that all of you can keep your cool. Allow me to also warn you that Valerius is likely to ask the both of you if you know where or how to find Asher next time you see him." Boreas said to Marcus and Mrazivý.

"I do not know how to get into contact with him or locate him anyway. So, it will be for naught." Marcus said with a shrug.

Mrazivý likewise did not have any way to directly locate her master now that he had left Borealia, and it was likely that Quillon was the only one that could readily find him.

Now that Boreas had said what he wanted to, he bid them all goodbye for now and took Gwyneira back to the castle through a portal so that she could rest.

"Sounds like we have something else to think about now. And Quillon, when you find your master make sure to tell him that I am willing to hide him in Tralenstein if he needs help." Lyra said as she rubbed Quillon's back.

After that their group that had just gotten back from the special dungeon headed to the castle proper and went their separate ways.

Lyra needed to go back to her home for a brief period before coming back for the wedding and Quillon was going with her.

Lilia and Alaric had their graduation ceremony to attend at the royal academy in a few weeks.

James along with Fallon needed to get back to their position leading the Sky Knights.

Finally, Marcus and Mrazivý had to finish up their preparation for their wedding that was happening in less than two months.

"I will be staying at the castle for a while until we have finished with the preparations we need to make, but I will make sure to make time for your graduation." Marcus said to Lilia who was about to board a carriage with Alaric.

"I'm going to hold you to that. If you are not back at least two days before I will come to the castle and drag you out." Lilia said with a playful smile.

She then gave Marcus her characteristic hug using her herculean strength that was enough to cause him damage, before heading on her way.
