Having stopped at the harbor town Sylvestre, Fang was now about to depart.

「Then, Lilac-san. Thank you for everything.」

The one in front of him was the top of marine guild《Mistress》Lilac. In turn, she shook her head with a wide smile.

「No no, sorry that we could do nothing but replenish your supplies, Fang-san. We can’t put you on a ship since you are going to the inland area——to the City of God’s Tree, Irminsul. And we have troubles with carriages as well.」

「Ahaha, well, can’t be helped. It’s not even been a month since the attack by the black tortoise.」

Due to the attack from the black tortoise, the horse carriages that connected the port town and the city of god’s tree weren’t running. Naturally, some of the carriages were damaged, but the road also was wrecked.

The boulders shot by the black tortoise were scattered over a vast area, turning it into a dangerous environment for horses to run.

Thus, the fastest and the most reliable method of travel was on foot, both Fang and Lilac agreed on that point.

「That time, boulders from the black tortoise flew all the way outside of the city as well. I’m really glad that we brought all the people that were in the immediate city’s surroundings into shelters as well. Thanks to Axel-san’s party we had zero casualties……Because of that, we can speed up the restoration……Though I say that, it’s still will be an inconvenience for you, Fang-san.」

「Though I’m not that fast, but I’m quite good at running non-stop. Unlike Axel-san I don’t have abilities that would allow me to skim over the bad terrain, so I will have to cover all of it step by step.」

「Which reminds me, Axel-san should already be there, I wonder what he is up to. With the blessing from bestowed by gods『God Tree Aleden』located in its center, it should be quite a comfortable city to spend your time, but……」

In the City of God Tree, there is an arbor so colossal that it looks like it’s consuming nutrients on a global scale, the popular name for it is the world tree.

That is where『City of the World Tree』, the other name for the City of God Tree is coming from.

「There is a fair amount of monsters in the surroundings, but for living inside a city it’s quite a pleasant place in my opinion…… The hero preventing people from coming inside seems to be the only problem here.」

「Well, I’m planning to make my way there while gathering information about that part as well. Though there is so much stuff going on lately that the flow of information is somewhat slowed…… Well, the closer I get, the more information I should get. It’s true for information on the cities…… And for monsters and majin as well.」

「Sounds rough. Fang-san.」

「Such is my job. And for the cases like this, it’s easier to act on-site instead of waiting at the capital.」

After all, some cities are still only recovering from the war. If you wait at the capital, information often times would become inaccurate.

Which is especially true when it comes to prompt reports.

And eventually, to confirm the truth one would have to gather evidence. In that case, going out and investigating it myself will be faster.

「Well, what can I say. Lately, there are majins and the like, so be careful, Fang-san.」

「I appreciate your concern. Then, until next time.」

「Yeah. see you again. I’ll be happy to properly welcome you when you can stay at leisure, I also would be glad to hear your stories about Axel-san.」

Like that Fang parted with Lilac and alone followed the road from the port city to the city of god tree.

「……Well, let’s move. Rumors are rumors, it’s hard to call them accurate information. There is also no telling what the situation would look like when I get there……I just hope nothing will happen to Axel-san’s and others.」
