Starting with the defeated female knight

Other minor demons and monsters can be put aside for now, but these two must be met and discussed.

Meanwhile, Aurora is preparing to have surgery in Dawn City, and it's said that the upside-down library is also a bit eerie.

So for now, Green plans to put the library aside and go check out the Adventurers' Guild first.

but......

What does it mean that the Adventurers' Guild leader ran away long ago?

What do you mean you don't even know what's in the Adventurers' Guild?

【What do you mean you're not entirely sure if there's anything left in the Adventurers' Guild?】

Yes, even the demons and monsters of the capital city don't know what's inside the Adventurers' Guild.

They didn't even know if there was anything left in the Adventurers' Guild.

"Well... you'll know once you take a look."

So Green went.

So Green saw it.

Underneath a building that was almost half-destroyed, dilapidated, and even the signboard was nearly rusted and rotten.

A group of people in tattered gear were crammed inside, constantly exchanging messages, shouting, hurling insults, and even fighting.

The whole environment was chaotic, like a vegetable market, and there were even people setting up stalls inside, selling small items.

As for the bulletin board in the middle, although it was covered with a bunch of tasks, they were mostly trivial tasks like finding lost items or checking what had happened, with pitifully low rewards.

The most popular one was even the factory recruitment information posted in the corner, where a group of so-called adventurers stood, their eyes seemingly quite interested.

"Things were fine before the Age of Gods, but after the empire was established, due to various circumstances, the demand for adventurers has decreased..."

"Plus, there are all sorts of other messy factors like the concept of bloodline and the wealth gap..."

"By now, if it weren't for the fact that the mages in the association still have a lot of experimental needs, such as issuing material bounties, this place would basically be a vegetable market..."

"Even the adventurers' guilds outside the capital are better than the ones here."

"After all, those places don't have many demons or monsters, and the number of local nobles is generally not large. If it's a larger town, the residents can still have some money and can issue bounties if anything happens..."

"But in the capital..."

Adventurer's Guild.

To put it nicely, it's called the Adventurers' Guild.

But in reality, after the end of the Age of Gods and more than two hundred years of continuous decline.

This place has become a gathering place for the Sanhe Gods in another world.

While it is true that missions can still be posted, and while there are indeed some capable individuals among them, it can be said to be a rare path for non-bloodline professionals.

But ultimately, it's different from the three cornerstones.

Although the Adventurers' Guild didn't become particularly twisted, it was practically dead.

It's about the same as the difference between a rotting corpse and bones.

As for what's hidden within, perhaps it was in the past.

But in these two hundred years, especially in the first hundred years, the capital city lacked everything, but it never lacked tough jobs.

Perhaps something was hidden here, perhaps something once existed here.

But even if they were hiding, even if it was dangerous, they might not have survived to this day, and their lifespan might not even have reached two hundred years.

Even the previous president of the Adventurers' Guild couldn't keep up and ran away decades ago.

And after losing management, the situation naturally deteriorated even further.

This is why Green could always find out about adventurers, but never actually contacted them.

Because although this place still exists, it is almost completely destroyed.

【this......】

【never mind】

To be honest, before coming here, Green had some expectations for this place that was ranked number one on the must-eat list in this other world.

But after actually seeing it, let alone adventurers...

Even though he had already stood at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild and activated his senses, he did not detect the slightest abnormality.

The Adventurers' Guild is probably dead.

Whatever was hidden, that's all in the past.

Now, it's just an empty shell, retaining the name of an adventurers' guild.

Nevertheless, since he was already there, Green went inside to take a look.

Although they are almost completely dead, as mentioned before, there are indeed some capable people in this place.

If we can recruit some people to teach the children, then it won't be a complete waste of time... Hmm?

The tentacles stopped in place.

The dark green eyes flowed silently.

An ordinary wooden door sits quietly on the wall.

It was just an ordinary wooden door, the same color as the wall, and it looked tattered and worn, seemingly without any problems.

But for some reason, the tentacle suddenly raised its head and locked onto the door.

Moreover, the people around, whether adventurers or demons and monsters, seemed not to have seen, or rather, subconsciously ignored, the existence of that door.

moment.

The tentacles crawled over.

The moment I stepped through the door, a strange feeling washed over me.

It was as if, in an instant, cognition was brought to a halt in some unknown way.

Use your tentacles to wrap around the door handle and twist it.

Pushing open the door, the outside world presented an ordinary scene of the capital city.

There is nothing abnormal.

However, the tentacles did not go out.

And after a moment, he slowly turned his head back.

A clean and tidy room, a silent building.

And over there, there's a headless corpse covered in gray-white scales, washing its hair while holding its own head.

So, you've actually been living here all along?

"if not?"

The head, which was being washed, gurgled with water. After spitting it out, the head was put back on the neck.

The wound closed up instantly.

Those golden vertical pupils opened slightly, then he sighed.

"They destroyed the history of the place I used to live in."

"If I don't hide here, where else can I go?"

P.S.: I'm stuck on writer's block. I'll write another 6000 words, then go grab a bite to eat and see if I can still manage.

Book 1: Chapter 120: Omsura

The ancient dragon that Henry fought against earlier lives in the Adventurers' Guild in the capital.

Or rather, they live in a well-preserved adventurers' guild in another branch of history.

This sounds like a very abstract thing.

It is actually quite abstract.

But the tentacles were not surprised at all, they just sighed slightly.

I see...

This is history.

Tentacles had actually anticipated that this ancient dragon would live in the capital.

Although he didn't personally participate in that chaotic battle between gods and men, he was the one who initiated it, and he had to micromanage many things, otherwise things might have gone wrong.

So even though they didn't actually participate in the battle, Tentacles was actually keeping a close eye on all sides.

For example, chatting with Blue Butterfly while fighting, or casually taking away the elves from Dolores's side, or showing the crystal to those blood-red thoughts.

For example, they might run over to Henry's place to watch the excitement.

He was even wearing sunglasses and holding a bag of potato chips, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that, although the ancient dragon did indeed flee after the battle,

But based on certain traces, although others probably can't see them, the tentacles can feel them.

Although the other party fled outwards, after fleeing to a certain extent, they turned around, went in a big circle, and returned to the capital.

This time, however, she did not attempt to fight. Instead, shortly after infiltrating the capital, her presence suddenly vanished.

Although the exact location wasn't very clear, Green could roughly guess that the other party must have used some special method to hide in the capital.

They may have even been living in the capital before the war started. When they went out before, it wasn't to join in the fun, but simply because they heard a noise and went out to see what was happening.

Moreover, unlike Dolores, who is driven by a strong purpose.

Even during the great battle between gods and humans, this ancient dragon gave him a very strange feeling.

Although the fight with Henry was evenly matched, it was a battle between two purely numerical monsters, one a humanoid ancient god and the other a humanoid ancient dragon. Every attack they launched was almost as powerful as the combined attacks of the other actors.

But putting in effort and hitting hard doesn't mean you're doing it right.

In the simplest terms, this occurred before the arrival of Henry's parents, the old king and the old queen who was brought up by the blue butterfly.

Although both are numerically superior, the Ancient Dragon is clearly superior to Henry.

If the other party's goal is also to send Wendeta in or to seek revenge against humanity, they are perfectly capable of diverting some of their energy to carry out two separate operations while fighting against Henry.

But let alone her skills, she and Henry didn't seem to be paying much attention to their game.

The reason they were able to have such a high level of collision is simply because both sides are top-tier numerical monsters. When they meet, neither of them will hold back, nor can they hold back.

Otherwise, Green has no doubt that if this dragon were in the same situation as the green worm next door, she would probably touch it even more than the green worm.

Or to put it more directly.

She was just there for fun.

He just saw that the fun wasn't big enough, so he added fuel to the fire.

And after realizing something was wrong, he was the first to run away.

As for now.

Although he had long expected that this dragon might be lurking somewhere in the capital, Green really didn't expect to see her here.

However, upon seeing it, compared to the dragon itself...

What Green was more concerned about was the place she was in.

What is this place? A historical 'cocoon'?

"I'm more used to calling it branches, but the description 'cocoon'... seems quite fitting?"
