Chapter 393 Transportation

Lyrian thanked the man, and Rastran replied politely, "Of course, young man. I guess I'll be off to deal with those angry adventurers now, the ones that had previously taken this quest." He chuckled as he left.

"Damn... how long has it been since I've taken blows from him. It doesn't hurt any less!" Rothis exclaimed in anger.

"Pahaha! This reminds me of our training times when you used to get beat up by him often!" Solvir let out a hearty laugh.

Zyon couldn't help but chuckle as well, "That was a show!"

Soon after this, Lyrian walked out of the room. As he did, however, he saw Rastran not far from the outside of their meeting room.

He seemed to be talking to a group of adventurers like he said he was doing in the middle of the lobby.

'I guess he wasn't lying when he said he was going to deal with them.' Lyrian thought to himself. He only now noticed the stature of Rastran.

He was a large man with a developed body, over 6'5 feet, and donned a tight pair of dress pants and a shirt over his torso.

The adventurers he was talking to seemed to be making quite a ruckus. As Lyrian and the others made their way toward the stairs heading down, he locked his gaze with one of the adventurers that the Vice Branchmaster was speaking to for only just a moment.

At that moment, he was hit with a burst of bloodlust from the eyes of the other adventurer which seethed with anger.

Just for the heck of it, Lyrian decided to unleash a bit of spiritual energy toward the man as well. After all, why would anyone be so angry at him for simply taking a quest?

It wasn't worth wanting to kill somebody over, that was for sure.

When Lyrian showed the man his aura, however, Rastran quickly stepped in the way just in time.

Before Lyrian's aura could reach Rastran's back, he instantly pulled it back into him.

'Yikes... that wouldn't have been great. Especially since that guy is even stronger than me.' Lyrian said in his head, as he and the others descended downstairs.

Finally, now, Lyrian was looking to meet new, stronger individuals.

"I guess we better start heading to Jambaal right now if we are to transport the Hyroon family here by tomorrow. After all, it's an eight-hour trek, that might take even longer since we will most likely be fighting beasts along the way."

Zyon said in a casual tone. Everyone agreed, and Lyrian decided that running there would be the fastest option out of everything.

When they exited the adventurer's guild, he turned around and faced them all before saying, "We have to run. Otherwise, we will be stuck protecting a carriage driver on the way there."

Rothis quickly answered this before anyone else could speak, "Oh yeah! About that, Lyrian. Last we had to take the carriage, but thankfully, this time Zyon and Osikae are back."

Lyrian looked at him with slight confusion, as Rothis turned his head to face Zyon and Osikae.

At that moment the two of them took in two long inhales before letting out two loud noises.

Zyon exclaimed a fearsome high-pitched screech and Osikae a powerful roar.

Both of these noises were amplified to match their intended sound by mana.

Lyrian was left a bit confused by this. After a few seconds, however, that confusion left him. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

Out of the sky, a gray bird swooped down and landed in front of Lyrian and the others with a forceful landing.

Thankfully, there weren't many people on the streets here since it was so early.

Not long after, a giant beast that resembled a tiger jumped from one building top to another, not damaging any roof at all despite its large size.

It landed in front of them as well, a tiger with an iron bead imbued into its forehead.

"What are these? Your Spirit Pets?" Lyrian questioned, quickly Scanning the two beasts.

The others nodded in agreement. "That's precisely right! This is Hawkeye over here, and the tiger is Igor."

The bird was a [Grayhawk]. A creature that grew to the size of a car and specialized in... nothing.

Its speciality was mostly its size and travel ability. In terms of Overall Power, it was at a [4].

'In general terms, it's just as strong as the direwolfs I used to fight back in Illstria. However, its larger size and travel ability most likely makes it a good Spirit Pet.'

He changed his attention to the [Iron Tiger] which looked to be a relative species of the [Rubus Tiger] that he fought back in Anaviotis.

However, this one seemed to be weaker. 'Maybe the value of the stone they hold dictates their power?' Lyrian mused on seeing this.

It had an OP of [5] which was better than the birds, but it didn't seem to do much other than that.

Being slightly weaker than the Rubus tiger, it wasn't impressive to Lyrian.

However, for some reason, some of the adventurers were still waiting for Lyrian's impressed reaction.

They were anticipating at the very least, Lyrian to nod his head and say "Huh... not bad. These are pretty good!"

However, Lyrian did not say even that. This was because he was far from impressed with these creatures.

'I can understand how it would be hard to get stronger creatures outside of a prestigious institute, but still... this is quite bad.'

"They are pretty good, right? Well, their specialty isn't power anyways, but still!" Rothis exclaimed, slightly eager to hear Lyrian's reaction.

"Quite frankly, they are weak. They would die to almost any threat we may come across." He said coldly.

"Ah... hehe," Rothis replied.

"We won't be using them to fight for that very reason," Cylline said, riding on the saddle placed on the back of Hawkeye.

"They are travel creatures. Hawkeye here can mount many people with its large size and travel for long distances without needing and break."

As she said this, Rothis and Osikae climbed on top of Igor.

"And Igor over here is the so-called travel species of the Elemental Tiger bloodline. Out of all of them, these tigers specialize in traveling long distances, and their step is so careful that they leave no traces of their presence behind."
