Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

After finishing his meal, Cardin hurried out of the restaurant and smiled bitterly at the restaurant's sign.

"What's going on?" In the restaurant, he felt that if his identity was exposed, he might be in big trouble. Of course, no one could defeat Cardin.

Even if there was, life-and-death struggles wouldn't happen in that kind of place. But the atmosphere was very dangerous.

"I'd rather feel more at ease in the dungeon." The atmosphere made one feel like they were going to be kicked out harshly.

“The Douglas family’s status is truly remarkable.” It’s amazing how much the residents respect the lord, even the lord’s children.

"Blanche's reputation seems to be surprisingly good?" What is even more surprising is Blanche's reputation. To Cardin, Blanche was very cold and sharp from the first impression.

A noble noble, with a sharp sense of being untouchable. Coupled with the arrogance unique to nobles, Cardin originally thought that people would hate her.

"It seems that the common people love her very much." Even if she is a lord's child, people will not like her if she is not very kind.

"Maybe I haven't seen another side of her." In addition to the threats to Cardin, there were also many words praising Blanche in the restaurant.

It is said that Blanche personally stepped forward to help people in need, and thanks to her, the city's law and order improved, so the residents liked her very much.

"The rest period is over, that guy will pass by here too, right?" To reach the city where the Douglas family castle is located, one must pass through the city where Cardan is currently located.

Thinking of the possibility of running into Blanche, Cardin looked around cautiously. "I can't imagine it." If people knew that the person who had been defeated by Blanche lived here, their eyes might become unfriendly.

Someone might even come to cause trouble. "Avoid causing trouble." As a student of the Hero Academy, you can't just fight with others.

"We have to leave quickly." Cardin thought and began to look for the mercenary guild.

"At least it should be okay to get information about the dungeon before we leave, right?" Because he couldn't see the building of the mercenary guild, Cardin began to walk slowly on the street.

"Found it." Soon, he found the sign with the Mercenary Guild logo, and immediately walked towards the Mercenary Guild. At that time.

"Kadan!" A familiar voice called out to Cardan, so loud that his body trembled.

"No way..." Cardin turned around slowly with an uneasy feeling. There was...

"Here! Here!" Blanche's brother, Klose Douglas, was standing there. He was wearing his college uniform and waved vigorously to Cardin.

"No way, why did I meet the eldest son of the Douglas family here?"

"Hello, senior." Cardin hid his surprise and greeted Klose. Click! Click! As Cardin approached and bowed, Klose happily patted Cardin on the back several times.

"Cough cough!"

"Nice to meet you! What brings you here?"

"I have something to do." Cardin stood up despite the pain, and Klose still patted Cardin's shoulder happily.

"Really? Oh, yes! Say hello! They are my good friends and your seniors." Klose pointed to the back. Behind him stood two students in college uniforms.

"As expected of a graduating class, they don't look like ordinary students." Klose looked the strongest, but the two students standing behind him also looked like excellent fighters.

"Hello, I'm Cardin." Cardin greeted the two strangers, who looked at him in surprise.

"Cardan? Are you the strongest necromancer in the first year?"

"Ah! You just beat Klose's sister...cough cough!" Smack! Before he finished speaking, Klose smiled and patted him on the back, and he couldn't continue.

"This is the Douglas family's territory. This kid might get into trouble." Klose whispered, and the student who was hit on the back nodded awkwardly.

Klose was right, this was the city center ruled by the Douglas family.

Everyone who passed by recognized Klose and stopped to look at him.

"You're so considerate." If people knew that Cardin was the protagonist who defeated Blanche and became the number one in the academy, he might get into quite a troublesome situation.

"Oh, sorry, junior!" The student who was hit on the back waved to Cardin and apologized.

"It's ok."

"I haven't finished introducing these guys yet." Klose pointed at the two students dissatisfiedly.

"This weak-looking guy is Lucas, the mage."

"Nice to meet you."

"The one carrying the bow is Arad, the archer. As you can see, they are all excellent warriors." Then the student who was beaten on the back also introduced himself, and Cardin bowed to both of them and greeted them.

"Please take care of me." "I heard that teachers and professors are talking about you? Your growth rate is terrifying?"

"Everyone in the third grade is very curious. We didn't expect to see you like this. Do you know Klose?"

As the three men greeted each other, Klose seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Cardin's shoulders.

"By the way, what urgent matter brought you here before us? Are you here to see Blanche?" Faced with the sudden question, Cardin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"it's not like that."

"Have you finished all your work?"

"Yes." Because he couldn't reveal Mr. Belid's commission, Cardin just nodded. Fortunately, Klose didn't ask Cardin why he came here.

"Really? What are your plans next?" Klose smiled and put his arm on Cardin's shoulders.

"I don't know. Now that I'm here, if there's a good dungeon, I'd like to check it out."

"Dungeon? Are you planning to gain practical experience?"

"Ah, yes. That..." Cardin suddenly felt that he was in the center of the enemy camp and talking to the enemy leader. Everyone who passed by recognized Klose and cast a look at him, which made him feel burdened.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I want to leave this city as soon as possible..." Cardin said with a smile in order to change the subject.

"Excuse me, where are you going, seniors? Are you going back to the family?"

"Oh, the family is having a party soon. It will be held in half a month. If it's convenient, would you like to go with us?" Klose smiled mischievously and patted Cardin on the shoulder.

"Of course, Blanche will be there too." Klose was very excited for some reason and laughed heartily.

"Ah, thanks for the invitation, but can I refuse?"

"I'm not forcing you, don't think too much about it!" Cardin temporarily imagined himself attending the Douglas family party.

"That's terrible." There is the most uncomfortable place in the world. Does he need to go out of his way to find it?

"Yes, thank you. Ah, can I ask another question?" Cardin tried to change the subject, and Klose smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Is there a dungeon around here where undead creatures live?" The city where the Douglas family lives. If it's around here, Klose should be familiar with it, right?

"Undead creatures? Are you planning to practice anything related to necromancer?"

"Yes. Well, almost." Cardin smiled awkwardly and Klose nodded without hesitation.

"The closest one is 'Hungry Corpse Dungeon'. It's full of zombies, so I wouldn't recommend it. There's nothing to gain there either."

Even among mercenaries, some say that zombie dungeons are places you don't even want to look at. Even if you risk your life to explore them, all you get is the smell of corpses.

"Ah, really?"

"As far as I know, there are no dungeons of undead creatures or other monsters around here."

"Really?" Cardin was surprised, and Klose pointed at the Mercenary Guild.

"Even if you go to the Mercenary Guild, you'll hear the same thing. The Douglas family's territory is famous for its good public security." The Douglas family has invested huge amounts of money to manage the public security of the territory.

Therefore, if a dungeon or monster habitat appears in the territory, both the Knights and mercenaries will come out to attack.

"The zombie dungeon is a tricky place, so it hasn't been conquered yet, but, um, I heard that the family will come forward to conquer it after the summer is over."

The "Hungry Corpse Dungeon" has been conquered by Cardan.

"There's no need to talk about this now. They'll know later." Cardin nodded and thanked Klose again.

“Thanks for the information.”

"I didn't help much. By the way, we should go out for something to eat now. I know a good restaurant." Klose said, pointing to the restaurant where Cardin had just come out.

"If you come to this city, you must go to this restaurant. How about it? If you are hungry, let's eat together? It's my treat, don't feel burdened."

Cardin looked at the restaurant's sign with a hesitant expression, but eventually changed his expression and answered Klose.

"I just came out of that restaurant. It was really delicious."

"Oh, really? Oh, that's a shame. But it's nice to see you here."

"Nice to meet you, too." Rather than being happy, I felt a little scared, but it also felt closer.

"Ah, didn't you say you wanted to find a dungeon with undead creatures?"

"Yes."

"Well, don't stay here, go to Repera."

"Are you talking about the city of Repera?" Hearing a familiar name, Cardin thought for a while and waited for Klose's answer.

"Yes. I heard that because there is a dungeon of undead creatures nearby, a lot of mercenaries have been recruited." It sounds like good news.

"Thank you very much for the information."

"Okay. Repera is a dangerous place, be careful. I'm going to go get something to eat."

"Okay. See you at the academy." Klose patted Cardin on the shoulder and walked towards the restaurant with his friends.

"If I hang around here, I might really run into Blanche." Cardin thought he had to leave the city as soon as possible and began to look for a carriage.

"The city of Repera. Why does this name sound so familiar?"
