Chapter 57.3
“A letter from the young Human, huh…” He cut open the crumpled envelope with his sharp claws and pulled out the letter from inside.
“Hmmm…” The letters were blurry and smudged. He had no idea what it said. That’s what you got for letting an orc carry the letter. “I see.” However, he could guess what Nazar, the human prince, wanted by asking an orc to deliver the letter.
It would be about Sequence’s daughter, Poplatica, and her conspirators. She had left, leaving behind the words “we will resurrect Lord Gediguz” with a breath. She even stole the national treasure that Sequence managed to bring out from the Demon Nation. Many followed her and left. But there was no way to know what they were doing now. However, he had no idea how they were doing since they didn’t receive much information here.
“So, what do you want then? Did you just come to deliver this letter? Has the Orc Hero become a dog for a little human boy?” Sequence said in his usual tone, but he knew there was no mistake in choosing Bash as the messenger. If it weren’t for Bash, they probably wouldn’t have made it this far. He would prefer to ask him over a drink how he had made it from the border to here, passing through the dragon’s eyes, and how he had found the hidden fortress. Despite appearances, Sequence quite enjoyed listening to the sagas of the young ones.
That was the correct decision to have Bash deliver the letter. Just by arriving here, Sequence could tell. However, demons had a habit of using mocking phrases. They couldn’t help but underestimate their opponents, even if they themselves had lost.
Now, if they did well in letting Bash deliver the letter, the question remained, “Why?” Why was it Bash who came? Why would a proud, though humble, warrior Hero undertake such an insignificant task as delivering letters?
“I have no intention of being his dog.”
“I’m sure you don’t. I don’t know how a simple errand boy could come this far. If you came to visit us at night, that means you must have seen it too, right?”
“The dragon. Yes, I saw it.”
