OVERLORD- CH-72. A promise to daughters

"Have you ever seen a stronger slime?"

"Ah, I've seen stronger ones than that before."

"Is it stronger than the steel-level monster? Can you defeat such a monster?" Monica asked seriously, and Aya answered the question with a smile.

"Anyway, thanks to Levi's help, we defeated the monster, but that succubus..." The guild leader said. "The hostage method was really despicable."

"Demons are a rare breed of monsters that will take hostages." Said Monica.

"In that situation, I prioritised saving the hostage and agreed to let her go."

"Your choice is very correct. On behalf of the Duchess, I would like to thank you." After hearing Aya's words, Lena stood up and bowed slightly to the young man.

"Thank you for saving the people of Maple Moon Territory. Otherwise, I don't know how many casualties that monster would have caused."

There is no need to be polite at this time. Aya did not refuse the other party's thanks, but accepted it frankly.

Although, after all, it was she who caused this matter.

"The succubus was not defeated in the end. She called the monster a pet, so it should be her follower." The chief priest spoke at this time.

"With such strength, he must be a very important follower."

"That may not be the case. She didn't show any sign of distress or anger at that time." Monica thought for a moment, "Could it be that she summoned it?"

"Don't be ridiculous, how is this possible? Do you mean that thing can appear in multiples? That's a steel-grade monster." The president of the Magician's Guild denied it vehemently.

You should know that the strength of the monsters summoned by third-level summoning magic is equivalent to the platinum level. This is knowledge in books. There is no one in the Dragon Kingdom who can use this level of summoning magic.

"It can be considered a hidden danger. Also, she said at that time that there were other demons interested in this place besides her. I don't know what that meant."

"Anyway, we have to be careful recently. I will reject the recruitment orders from the royal capital for adventurers of Mithril rank and above. I hope you can understand." The guild master bowed his head deeply to Aya and the other two and apologized.

"No problem, I understand." Monica nodded first, and Aya also nodded in agreement.

"As for the hotel, now that the owner has passed away, the Duchess' Palace should buy it and renovate it, because we can't just leave it in ruins." Lena said, addressing the mayor.

"After the Chamber of Commerce has made an appraisal, the purchase price will be given to the relatives of the innkeeper, and the compensation will be deducted from next year's fiscal allocation. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem." The mayor quickly agreed.

Normally, such matters should be directly handled by the city government, but he was now worried that the Duchess would use this matter as an excuse to remove him from his official position, so he dared not say a word.

"That's basically what happened with the succubus. There were very few casualties, which is a blessing in disguise. It's all thanks to Mr. Levi." The guild leader expressed his gratitude again.

"Next, let's talk about the Black Snake Thieves Gang." Lena said as she looked around.

"The Black Snake Bandits can be regarded as a cancer in the three border territories of the Dragon Kingdom, and they have become more rampant in recent years." Lena's voice sounded very serious.

"Now, because of Mr. Levi, their two most important fighting forces, 'Phantom Ghost' Michael and 'Crazy Thief' Hans, have been annihilated. I think this is the best time to eliminate them."

"That's why you called us together. But without these two Orichalcum-class thieves, the Black Snake Thieves will be nothing more than a mob. There's no need to send out two Mithril-class teams." Moros glanced at Aya.

"There's no need to send out two Mithril-class teams and one Orichalcum-class team."

"Under normal circumstances, this may not be necessary. However, we found traces of demonic corruption on the body of the Black Snake's combat advisor, the mad thief Hans."

"What!"

"I fought with him a bit. I don't know how strong he was before, but after being corrupted by the devil, he's probably about the same strength as that slime." Aya said very calmly.

This is nonsense. God knows what level that person is, but he is definitely below level 60.

"In this case, the situation is a bit dangerous." The guild leader seemed to be frightened by what Aya said, and his face did not look very good.

"We need to take a long-term view."

The discussion on the Black Snake Mercenaries lasted for an hour, and Aya began to feel sleepy halfway through. In the end, they came up with a strategy of first using Mithril-level adventurers to conduct reconnaissance and then launching a general attack half a month later. Aya had no objection to this strategy.

Then, the guild leader promised to upgrade Moon Shadow to Orichalcum level after this incident was over, which meant that this would be their promotion task, and Monica agreed.

As for the bounty for last night's incident, Aya had already discussed it with Lena. It included both union rewards and government rewards, and the amount was quite satisfactory.

"Finally, I can go back." After saying goodbye to the guild leader, Aya walked out of the Adventurer's Guild. The carriage was parked on the other side of the street waiting for him.

"Levi, Jasmine wants to return your clothes to you tomorrow morning. Is that okay?" Monica stepped forward and spoke.

"No problem."

"Thank you for saving us before."

"We are all colleagues, you're welcome." Aya waved her hand.

"Unfortunately, we really don't have any way to repay you, but we still have to say thank you." After insisting on expressing sincere gratitude, Monica said goodbye.

"Mr. Levi, the Duchess wants to meet with you tomorrow, is that okay? To talk about what you mentioned before." Lena came over as soon as Monica left.

"Okay, no problem." He agreed casually and agreed on a time in the afternoon.

'I'll meet Jasmine in the morning and go see Operan in the afternoon. That's it.'

After saying goodbye to Lena, Aya got on the carriage.

However, after getting on the carriage, Aya's face suddenly turned pale.

She then realized a serious problem.

"I think I even agreed to go to the village with Pleia and Lilith tomorrow..."

Aya opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. The sun had risen by then. If nothing unexpected happened, Pleia and the others should have woken up.

Generally speaking, Aya is still sleeping soundly at this time, and it will take about half an hour to an hour for her to be pulled out of bed by her daughter.

She got up very early today because she felt guilty.

She quietly got up, opened the door, and observed the situation outside through the crack.

Pleia was sitting at the dining table, seemingly organizing something.

With a long breath, Aya pushed open the door of the room.

"Mother, why did you wake up so early today?" The girl exclaimed when she saw Aya walking out of the room.

It turns out that in her daughter's eyes, it is such an unusual thing for her to get up early. Aya felt a little ashamed of this fact.
