Chapter 25. FruitCrust

It was quite a sight to see a city full of house and lights.

In this lower district, Merchant Strip was kind of a heaven.

Many soldiers were moving here and there patrols, while some of them are drunk and dancing with the girls in inns.

"So, we have to wait here."

On a inn named - FruitCrust, Ren and Zest were sitting sipping juice which this inn was famous for.

Normally inns should have great ale, but this one seems to be an exception. Though still this inn have ale.

Both Ren and Zest were wearing black cloaks which is a kind of norm while travelling in this world. And because of the accelerated growth due to racial genes, both didn't seemed to child to the rest customers as well.

Remembering of his height and looks, he just remembered his age and couldn't help but feel guilt inside his heart.

After all, he fucked a girl same age as him.

'Am I lolicon? Hmm... Never got to try it. No! What are you thinking Ren?!

Calm down. This is another world and no rules of previous world applies here. So, you are right.'

He tried his best to convince himself.

"Excuse me, what do you need?"

At the moment, a middle aged woman probably the wife of the owner came in asking for orders.

"I need a pineapple juice, with extra three cups of sugar and a pinch of black salt."

"And you lady?"

Then she looked at Zest.

"Same."

"Alright. Just wait for a while."

And after that she went off to the kitchen to get the juice out for both of them.

"This was the code, right?"

"Yes. We need to order this juice to get contact with them."

To meet up with the assassins, this is the code needs to followed, according to Zest.

Both of them waited, and after that the lady waiter came with two big wooden jugs full of fuzzy juice.

Ren gulped a bit looking at juice. Even though he has so much strength, it's been a while since he had good fresh juice.

Fruits are very scarce in the lower district, and even with the money they don't buy it since it is a kind of unnecessary.

'When I get a proper source of income, I will definitely drink fresh juice everyday.'

Gulp~

And without waiting, he gulped it down with a good smile. Zest also followed him, after all she also haven't tasted juice at all.

Being a slave, she haven't got the chances to see what beautiful things the world has to offer. All she has seen till now is all the dark.

'But with Ren-sama, I am sure that I will one day will have everything I wish.'

Zest with a bit rosy cheeks in her tanned face, looked Ren sneakly while slowly sipping the juice.

"Woah! It's so good!"

Thump!

With a sound, he slammed the wooden cup back to the table with full satisfaction.

'The juice was really tasty. No wonder this place is so famous. If only the juice was served in glass... Wait! I can sell it! Glass!'

Suddenly, Ren's eyes lit up since he discovered on more way to get more income.

'If there is something abundant in lower district then that would be sand. And with all that sand...'

Ren was excited to find a new way to get money. And thinking of it, it seems he can sell glass at a very high price to nobles like a brand.

'All I need to have is a good excellent magician.'

Despite having good combatants in his Avalon, Ren was yet to find the most important talents to recruit.

He has three pure magicians - Akeno, Albedo and Zest.

But still three of them aren't all around mages.

Albedo despite being a magician is more like a warrior who fights in close combat. Using her reinforcement magic and defense magic, she uses a magic Armor and an axe to slay the enemies. And maybe because of her bloodline, she is also very talented in bed exercises.

'Cough! Don't misunderstand. I still haven't done with her.'

Akeno is very proficient in her inherited magic - Lightning magic. And Zest, she is very blessed in terms of earth magic.

All three of them are good in their way, but what Ren needed was a kind of all rounder, and if not then a fire magic user.

Mainly to make glass.

'Hehehe... After I get a fire mage, then...'

He could dream having gold coins raining on him.

"...Aster... Master!"

"Huh?! Oh! Sorry, Zest. I was a bit absent minded. So, what happened?"

Ren quickly returned to his usual sharp attitude. Since he is in a mission, it must be done properly.

"I found this under the wooden jug."

Zest handed the folded paper to Ren. He opened letter to see a line. And this letter is exactly he expected.

"We serve the dark to live in dark. Welcome here, leader of Avalon."

It was the invitation paper from the Black Assassins. But...

'Is there nothing else? How can I find them?'

Ren looked it and then remember the classic method. And then he tried to read it in front of light.

And then new letter started to appear on the paper.

'To reach the raven, go to the house next to neighbour of FruitCrust. There meet a comrade and he will lead you to us.'

Ren looked at it and then smiled wryly. The assassins are indeed being to sneaky.

He was kind of getting angry, but since he was a customer, he needs to have the patience.

He needs the information about Boros and his gang at any cost.

'As a leader and future king, how can I not have a bit of patience?'

After folding the paper back, he slipped it into his pocket.

"Let's go Zest."

"Yes, Master."

After slamming 30 copper coins on the table, both of them left the inn in search of so called comrade.
