Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

'Damn… so that place also serves as a meat center? The birds are forced to reproduce just to be eaten as well as being given as gifts to young nobles?'

'Yes, the only reason I wasn't forced into any of these things was that they didn't find a male partner for me.' Hearing Sylvie's reply, Zack wondered whether Jonathan knew about it.

Since it was his home and ruling city, there was a chance that he had an idea about the actions that were happening but turned a blind eye to them.

'You got any friends there?' Depending on Silvie's reply, Zack would carefully choose what to do next.

'You think such a beautiful swan-like me will have friends in that place? Heck, I was the biggest enemy of the female birds while being the epitome of perfection for the male ones.'

Zack sighed while hearing Sylvie's birds. Even birds had a similar lifestyle to humans. After hearing things in more detail, Zack got to know that Silvie was nicknamed as the lewd bird.

Not because of her actions but because of her looks.

He soon decided that he did not want to go deeper into the topic. After all, it was already weird to imagine birds reproducing.

'So where are we going master?'

'We are going to…' Zack showed her the location of the place on the map as Silvie sighed.

She couldn't fly at Daedalus or Icarus's speed so it would take the duo at least two hours to reach their destination.

So while flying over the Eizenburgh kingdom, Zack enjoyed the view beneath him.

Currently, he had no idea how he was going to find Pearl Henson without knowing jack about her location or the people who kidnapped her.

Zack had originally wanted to complete the ascension trial before leaving for the Henson family. However, his entire status getting reset had put a halt to the plan.

Now with two weeks remaining for the completion of the quest, he would have to speed things up again.

[ Emma, meet me back at the guild in a few hours. We will leave for the Henson family residence then. ]

After sending the message to Emma, Zack glanced down at Silvie's white wings. A creature like her was only purchased by nobles for show-off and not for traveling.

There were many other faster options available that could be bought at a cheaper price. A swan on the other hand was only graceful and not fast.

After an hour of flying at the same constant speed, Zack finally saw Havenjill in the distance.

'Sylvie, drop me five hundred meters away from the city. Your appearance is too eye-catching.'

As soon as Zack finished his sentence, the swan bent down and flew towards the ground. She then came to a halt before they could crash with the ground.

Zack hopped off Sylvie's back as he told the swan to stay in a nearby area while he went inside the city.

'Call me if anything happens.' Zack then started walking towards the city with a calm expression on his face.

He faced no problems in entering the city since he was a noble and Havenjill was a very small city anyways.

After asking for some directions, Zack successfully managed to reach the bar where Lisa had called him.

'Yup, I was right.' Drunk Ale bar was a stripper bar from the complete looks of it. And no sooner had he taken a step inside the place, he was hugged by two half-naked women.

"Wanna have some fun, dear sir? We will even give you a ninety-nine percent discount." One of them winked at Zack as he rolled his eyes.

"Nah, I don't meddle around with women who would likely poison me at the first chance they get and then run away with my money." Zack then pushed the two of them away before making his way to Lisa.

The blond girl was calmly sitting on one of the couches in the bar as men roamed around her. Almost all of them were NPCs but there were a few players mixed in the bunch too.

However, all of them immediately dispersed from the place when they saw a noble eyeing Lisa.

"What a bright and unique place to meet at," Zack commented with a smile as he sat beside Lisa.

She grinned at him before looking at one of the roaming waiters and ordering alcohol.

"I wanted to see whether you would succumb to the women here or not." While picking up her glass of beer, Lisa waved to the two girls who had surrounded Zack earlier.

"Then, I passed with full marks."

"By the way, I didn't kill any of them or anything. I may have placed a nuking formation on their guild that they have no way of removing but I still didn't kill them."

Hearing Lisa's words, Zack released a sigh. Despite his young age, he still had a few years of experience in a path called life.

"You know, I can always invite them to my guild to work as low-level grunts?"

"Really?"

"Yup but we will do that three weeks later. I have got some stuff to sort out by then." Zack then stood up before winking at Lisa. "Don't join the girls here you know. You will soon be bathing in money."

Lisa didn't know how to react to such a statement so she just nodded and finished her drink.

Zack on the other hand had already left the bar. After reaching Silvie, he released a sigh.

'I wonder if she believed me.' He then climbed on top of the swan as the two of them set back towards the capital.

Zack decided that it was time he passed the two remaining phases and be done with the ascension trial.

After that, he and Emma would finally pay a visit to the Henson family.

Zack had a theory about what happened to pearl but he decided to put it in the maybe section.

'Looks like meeting the Henson family will clear up a lot of my doubts.'
