Chapter 202: Broadening Horizons
“There’s no need for a pirate role, but why do you think I could serve as combat personnel?”
Leon made the remark half in jest, but still asked out of curiosity.
“Gus told me,” Willy replied. “He said you’ve already joined the Adventurer’s Guild, that you’re a real adventurer. Aren’t adventurers all powerful fighters?”
“Uh… and how did Gus find out about that?” Leon pressed.
“Of course he heard it from someone else. Don’t underestimate Gus’s intel network. He runs the only saloon in Pelican Town. Pretty much anything unusual that happens here, he knows about. The customers in his saloon are the best source of information.”
“I hear you two talking about me. So… was it something good, or bad?”
Just then, Gus arrived with a tray of food, setting the plates down before fixing them with a mock-stern face. His lips, however, curled upward in a faint smile.
“We were talking about your information network,” Willy said frankly. After all, it was true, not slander.
Gus grinned, pleased. “Exactly. So Leon, if there’s ever something you want to know, come to me. I’ve probably heard a thing or two about most matters in Pelican Town.”
