Chapter 341: Enslavement “What do you mean, you failed!?” Hagen, leader of the C-plus Gray Vultures, had been drinking comfortably in a tavern when one of the hired thugs delivered the report. His face immediately turned red with fury. “There were only two of them – a woman and a child – so we attacked […]
Chapter 340: A Three-Penny Performance The morning after Tauro infiltrated the mayor’s residence, Black-Gold Wings visited the Adventurers’ Guild as usual to accept another Flaming Crab subjugation request. While Armine was processing the request, Caxart’s strongest team entered the hall. Gray Vultures was a veteran C-plus team. “They’re here, Leader,” Ankh whispered. Tauro recognized the
Chapter 339: Infiltrating the Mayor’s Residence The day after gathering information at the Salt Lake Pavilion, Black-Gold Wings began searching for evidence of Baronet Colon’s embezzlement.

Chapter 338: The Mastermind’s True Identity Tauro, Ragune, and Ankh sat at the counter of the Salt Lake Pavilion, eating while they listened to the salt producers around them. “The mayor still isn’t doing anything!” “He has no intention of doing anything!” “What about the adventurers?” “I heard one team has been fighting those damned

Chapter 336: Those Two Are Crazy… Tauro and his companions reported the discarded food they had found – and their conclusion that it was causing the Flaming Crab outbreak – to the Adventurers’ Guild. “What!?” Armine exclaimed.

Chapter 335: A Problem Full of Mysteries Black-Gold Wings continued the Flaming Crab subjugation in Caxart for several days. During that entire period, no reinforcements arrived from any neighboring Adventurers’ Guild branch.

Chapter 334: The Salt Lake Monster Black-Gold Wings was currently the only team available at the Caxart branch that could subjugate Flaming Crabs, the monsters multiplying throughout the salt lake.

Chapter 333: Starting from the City of Salt Tauro and his team, Black-Gold Wings, were visiting Caxart, a city in the northwest roughly a week’s journey from the Royal Capital.

Chapter 332: And Thus into Legend… Tauro used [Spatial Transfer] to send every dragonfolk who had gathered in the Royal Capital back to the Dragonfolk Village.
