Chapter 411: Rumors
Tauro and his party decided to spend a few days in the territorial capital and then set out again on a trip around the area.
In the meantime, they decided to take a stroll around the city to get to know it better, but within the city, various rumors were being spread by the residents.
The most recent rumor was that there was an assassin’s guild, which was so famous and fabled that if you whispered to a child, “If you keep crying like that, you’ll be kidnapped by the assassins’ guild,” they would immediately stop crying, and the first rumor to come out was that this guild had actually existed and was destroyed, but in the capital of Graunewald, it was spoken of with shock that the head office and boss of the guild was Viscount Bomen from the neighboring territory, and that it was the forces of Count Graunewald who annihilated Viscount Bomen and the assassins’ guild.
“Just as you would expect from a soldier of the lord’s army!”
“Oh come on. How much of that is true?”
“I heard that they were part of a force led by some adventurer?”
“I heard that the assassination guild was wiped out by a certain group of men, and that the lord was the one in charge of commanding them.”
“Everyone is being misled by rumors. I have a friend in the royal guard. He was in charge of escorting the prisoners to the royal capital, and it was a child who led the forces that annihilated the guild. Apparently, the child had saved the lives of some brave warriors, and to repay his kindness, the warriors rallied to defeat the guild. It was truly an epic tale of a hero and the warriors who followed him!”
“Really!? …… If it’s true, that’s amazing, but how much can we believe?”
“Yes ……, I suppose. But if he’s such a hero, wouldn’t it be nice if his name was well known?”
“A child hero, huh… I bet he possesses the skills of 『Hero』, 『Holy Knight』 or 『Sage』, truly incredible skills…!”
The others listened with great interest to the man who claimed to be friends with a territorial soldier.
“Apparently, he’s an adventurer who travels from place to place. My friend said he heard the warriors who helped him with the convoy talking about it, so I think it’s true.”
“This guy is awesome!”
While the residents were talking about this rumor, Tauro, the center of the conversation, passed by them, stuffing his face with a skewer of meat.
“I hear the leader is a hero.”
Ankh teased, looking at Tauro, who was eating meat with his mouth dirty.
“(Munch munch)… (gulp). Seeing as the information circulating is close to the truth, it looks like the source of the rumors is real.”
Tauro finished the meat skewers he had bought and eaten and retrieved more skewers from the magic storage.
“I have heard many modest rumors about Tauro-sama in the village of the Dragon People.”
Zion seemed dissatisfied with the residents’ rumors, saying, “ Tauro-sama is much more amazing than that!”
“What kind of stories have you heard in the Dragon People’s village, Zion?!”
Tauro had been wondering why Zion worshipped him, but it seemed that she had heard some exaggerated stories from the dragon people’s village that completely sanctified Tauro.
“Hahaha! Tauro is the savior of the dragon people’s village. That alone is amazing enough for me. I can understand why Zion would say that!”
Ragone was supportive of Zion.
“You both know exactly what kind of person I am, don’t you?”
Tauro made a displeased face, but the rumors continued.
It seems that there was quite a commotion in the royal capital.
And that Viscount Bormen is being interrogated repeatedly day after day, which has left many nobles terrified and trembling.
There may be more nobles who made use of the assassination guild than we thought.
Indeed, there may be nobles whose parents or grandparents generation used it.
If this were to come to light, it would tarnish the family name.
For those who felt guilty, Viscount Bormen’s existence was now unnecessary, and they wanted him executed as soon as possible.
This is why, it seems, assassins are being sent to the cell where he is being held day after day.
“This is not a rumor, but a fact.”
As Tauro walks around the city, he is impressed by the amount of reliable information being shared.
“And it’s probably the dragon People warriors who are fending off the daily assassination attempts.”
Ankh said naturally.
“I think so. And I think Viscount Bomen can’t harm himself because he has the Dragon People by his side.”
“Hahaha! If he were to attempt suicide, he would be treated and resuscitated at that moment! I don’t think he’s going to die that easily.”
Ragune boasted about the superiority of her race.
“That’s true. I also came close to death a few times in the Dragon’s Lair, but I was saved each time… Damn it, I’ll live…!”
Zion gave Ragune a serious look of understanding.
zion ……, I’m sorry …… for sending you to such a place!
Ad
Tauro was filled with guilt towards her.
Because of this, the royal capital seems to be buzzing with talk of the assassination guild and Viscount Bomen every day.
Apparently there are even bets on when he will die.
The biggest topic of conversation was the child hero, but the warriors who accompanied him did not talk in detail, only saying that he had saved their lives, which led to the child hero being praised as a humble person.
Prince Frue of the royal capital was one of those who was interested in the story, but he immediately knew who the child hero was.
As he regularly received letters from his friend, it was not difficult for him to guess who it was.
Tauro was completely unaware of this and was relieved to find that his name had not come up in the gossip of the royal capital
