Eero glanced at them, not caring about their dilemma, and looking at Ada, said, "It was an assassination group from the royal family. The royal family's struggle."
...
Eero then turned and glanced at Sid and the others. He said calmly, "How about I give you sothing you desire, and you leave this task to us in return."
"Mr. Eero, if you want us to back up, just say it we can really leave it for you. You are our benefactor," Jill said seriously, as the only higher-aged person among them. He is quite mature and imdiately knew the aning of Eero word's.
Eero shook his head and replied, "I know how people backstab benefactors in a thousand ways. Don't use such word's; it won't work on . Tell what do you want? Also, I want you to sign this contract in return."
Eero raised his hand, and a glittering scroll materialized in his hand.
Sid and the others were surprised, looking at the scroll; their hearts sank. 'It's over,' they all thought, regretting accepting such a task.
The middle-aged man, Jill, nodded, took the scroll calmly, then glanced at his companions spoke calmly. "Don't worry, we would have been dead if Mr. Eero wasn't here. Just sign it and tell him anything you want. It may be an opportunity for us."
Then Jill glanced at the scroll, signed it without reading it, and passed it to Sid. Then he said calmly looking at Eero, "I want 100 Gold Coins."
Everyone beca speechless, looking at Jill's solemn face.
Jill then glanced at Sid and the others calmly raised his brow at their direction. They hurriedly signed the scroll and told their demands one by one.
"I need 10 gold coins," said Sid.
"I need 10 gold coins," Tiara said.
"I need 100 gold coins," Neon said.
Eero glanced at them speechlessly. 'Are they idiots?'
"Brother, it seems they don't know the extent of your powers, that's why they wished for money only. It's their bad luck," Ada spoke, looking at them amusingly.
Eero shook his head, then glanced at them deeply and asked, "Do you really want gold coins, nothing else?"
"Yes," Jill nodded solemnly, other also nodded one by one.
Eero nodded, raised his hand, and four pouches materialized. He threw them at their direction, then said, "Here's 10,000 Gold Coins for each of you, according to the agreent you just signed. If you leak anything you witnessed here or tell anyone about us and each other, you will pay a trillion-fold in return. If you can't, then I will take away your soul."
Eero then added with a smile, "Although a soul has a higher value in my eyes, in order to keep your soul, you can only offer a trillion-fold gold in return."
"Also, go back and tell the guild that you are giving up this task. Instead, we both will complete it," Eero spoke, then disappeared along with Ada, leaving the four adventurers trembling in fear. 'Trillion-fold return.'
Neon opened the pouch thoughtfully, looking at it filled with shining gold coins. His eyes lit up golden glittering, looking at the other pouches in his companions' hands, his eyes flickered.
Then they walked and appeared beside the carriage. Only one chariot remained for their return travel; the other three disappeared.
They fell silent boarded it and traveled back toward E-Rantel.
While Eero was standing in the sky along with Ada, looking at the moving chariot below.
"Brother, I don't understand, why did you do all that? You could just let them leave. Even if soone knew our information, it wouldn't matter," Ada asked, puzzled.
"There is a traitor among them. I did that to trap him and save the other three lives. Also, don't underestimate the information; we aren't transported alone in this world," Eero replied with a smile.
Ada realized, her eyes lighting up praised,
"Amazing, brother, you can think that far away," Then she asked strangely, "We aren't alone, brother. Don't tell you are afraid of that useless skeleton."
Eero glanced at her speechlessly. 'I am afraid of a useless skeleton? This girl is getting outrageous each passing day.' He knocked her head with his knuckle, saying, "Your brother isn't afraid of any skeleton. Do you understand?"
"Brother, it hurts. I understand," Ada rubbed her head, nodding pitifully.
Eero then smiled helplessly, rubbed her head, glanced at the direction of the royal capital, then asked, "Ada, if I tell you that 90% of this kingdom will be destroyed and its residents will be massacred by Ainz in the future, what will you do? Will you save this kingdom?"
"Really? If that's the case, then I will definitely save them and destroy that skeleton instead. I will play the drum using his bones," Ada flinched, then replied, clenching her fist angrily.
Knock!
"It hurts. Why?" Hurriedly grabbing her head, tears misted in her eyes, looking at Eero puzzled. 'Why did brother knock my head again? I will beco stupid.'
"Don't worry, you are already stupid," Eero said, looking at her.
"How do you know my thoughts?, Brother, don't call stupid, I am not stupid," Ada asked astonishingly, then rebuked angrily, bulging her face, turned her head away.
"Because I am your brother, I know what's going on in your little head," Eero spoke with a smile, then looking at the dark starry sky said, "Ada, rember, always in the future, don't reach a conclusion instantly after hearing sothing. Just like now, I told you Ainz will destroy 90% of the kingdom, you directly believed it without verification."
"I know brother will not lie to ; that's why I believe everything you say," Ada hurriedly replied.
Eero nodded, then said, "Even if I tell you sothing and you know I don't lie, you have to think about it from your perspective. You have your mind and soul, your own point of view. Always think and decide on your own; then you will be called wise."
Eero explained, then patted her head, looking at her thoughtful expression. 'Second lesson is completed.'
