Chapter 79 - 79: Travel To Betrum
The day of the travel, he head straight to the agreed meeting location. When he arrive, he could see other adventurers. Form their demenours, all of them have some experience though whether they can be considered veteran or not remained to be seen.
"Is everyone here?" a man in expensive black clothing asked, his black robe adorned with red lines along with some pattern on the sleeves. Aside from that, underneath the robe is a blue clothing, with white pants.
"There should be two more people," one of his subordinate from the look of it, replied.
"We are here," two more people, a male and a female arrive from the east. From the look of it, they have been running.
"We sorry for the delay, but here is the item you asked for," the male walked towards the subordinate before handing them a crystal.
While the others did not notice it, he could tell it have some powerful mana. Though he wondering what the use of the crystal is, he put it aside as the merchant began to call out to them.

Unfortunately, traveling in a group mean he could not use the system space, aside from maybe getting more notification and learning how many LP and MP he manage to gain.
With him unable to use it, it likely skyrocket, though it is already a lot before as he did not spend any LP during his two weeks before the beginning of the travel.
He do wonder what he should do, aside from keeping an eye out for threats. After all, there is little to do than watching the scenery and reading the books he bought. He sigh, hoping it would not be that boring.
-x-
Unfortunately, he is wrong. So very wrong.
"This is boring," the person next to him, another adventurers, yell out what he also thought. It had been 3 days and things have remain boring. He wanted some excitement though from what he heard, Adventure Guild often send adventurers on routine cleanup on the road, clearing it of monsters.
It is another of the more lucrative missions, the one requesting it is usually the officials of the kingdom to allow caravans to travel smoothly and help the economy.
"There is nothing we can do about," Alros said with a distraught tone. If not for the fact he did not want to expose himself, he would have flown away and pass through the border already.
Unfortunately, subtleties is needed so he have to accept thing as it is.

"Bandit attack!" one of the caravan's guards yelled. While most people would be despairing of such thing, for the adventurers, and mercenaries they all have the same thought.
'Finally,'.
"Half guard the caravan and half will engage!" the leader of the defence, a retired adventurer roared. The others nodded, preparing to engage with the bandits.
It did not take long before the caravan hired hands began to slug it out with the bandits. Unfortunately, Alros is not part of the group battling against the bandits, having been put in reserve due to him being a D-rank and his inexpensive.
The only good thing is that he can watch from a safe distance and learnt of what the adventurers can do. Most of them used orthodox weapons, like swords and shields, spears, bows and arrows, and some used lest orthodox one, from a whip to even a morning star.
As he observed the battle, he sensed two people coming in close. Considering the battle is not over, there is no doubt there are bandits.
He quickly head toward the source, before spotting the two bandits. "Let's get close and grab the merchant. With their boss life on the line, we can get a lot of loot," one of them said as they making their ways into the caravan.
Alros quickly get behind them, before striking one with a spear. The struck bandit looked in disbelief at the spear piercing his chest, his eyes slowly dimmed as it lost its life.
The last one leap away before rushing towards him, a dagger in his hand. With his spear stuck in the bandit's corpse, he would have to resort to his claw before. Now, he have other method to protect himself.
Alros took out a dagger of his own and engaged the other man with it. The two began to go back and forth, as the bandit, while having more experience with the weapon, did not have Alros' strength and speed, while Alros lacked the experience with the weapon, prolonging the engagement.
As the two fight, the battle was heard by the remaining guards, who lend their hands. With people on his side surrounding them, it did not take long before the bandit is subdued.

"So, do you there are any other threats in the area?" one of C-ranks asked, as they rest from the fight. The bandit had been handed to one of the merchant's subordinate, who have dellish glare as he looked like he was about to flay the bandit alive.
"Not sure, but they should be done getting information out of the bandit," they did not say what method as everyone knew there will be no good fate for the bandit now he was in the hand of the terrifying man that is the merchant's subordinate.
Soon, two people entered the campsite, both being the merchant subordinate and the veteran adventurer. The adventurers and mercenaries looked at the two with some anticipation.
"There are no other large bandit groups, but there should be smaller one. Unless they worked together, they will pose no threat to us," the veteran adventurer said before quickly telling them to rest.
Alros hope that the veteran adventure did not just put them at the mercy of Murphy's Law.
-x-
Surprisingly, there is no other attack, the caravan moving smoothly in their journey to the border, which they arrive to in the 6th day of the journey.
"So you will be leaving us now?" the veteran asked several adventurers that also have the same intention as he did. They nodded, seeing no problem with it. After all, they have sign an agreement with the merchant and for having their payment half of what the others get, it is a good enough exchange.
"In that case, good luck and hope you don't die," the veteran said his farewell to the part of the group before heading back to the merchant, already planning on finding other adventurers or mercenaries to make the trip back.
Alros let out a slight sigh of relief. Of all the people in the caravan, the veteran is the one he most wary off. Pushing the thought of the man aside, the demon quickly look at the border town with a smile, already looking forward to what the small nation south of Astor Kingdom has to offer.
