Chapter 350: Three Visitors Black-Gold Wings was approaching the end of its work in Caxart. The Flaming Crab subjugation had originally been posted as an open quest because the branch lacked enough qualified adventurers. Tauro’s team had since trained local E-rank-band teams until they could safely participate, and the requested D-rank reinforcements from other branches

Chapter 344: The Witness Appears The dispute continued in the reception hall of the Caxart Adventurers’ Guild. Hagen and Gray Vultures had accused Black-Gold Wings of murdering their baggage carrier.

Chapter 343: Villains Following in Our Footsteps Hagen, leader of the adventuring team Gray Vultures, was a C-plus bandit adventurer. Tracking and detecting enemies were his specialties, and he was confident that those abilities could rival even those of a B-rank adventurer.

Chapter 342: The Baggage Carrier The blue-haired, blue-eyed baggage carrier gave the name Zion. Tears streamed down Zion’s face as the child thanked Tauro again and again. Gray Vultures had used slave magic to force Zion to carry their equipment for two years. Once calm enough to speak, Zion slowly explained the past. “My mother
