Two months later…
Great. We've been in this house for two months, and there hasn't been anyone to visit since Gilthunder & Hauser left. Seriously. You would think that if they wanted to work with us they would at least keep us updated. Seriously. These two months have been nearly one of the most most boring times I have ever spent. The prison was more exciting than this! God. All this time has been grind this grind that. So much grinding. Get better at this, get better at that… Basically all that stuff. So. God be damned. Boring. Hauser is such an idiot. I've made like fifty new swords, ten sets of armour, two hundred arrows… You get the idea. My baking has improved considerably. I can do really fancy cakes! Well anyway, Gilthunder finally decided to come back. That took like forever. I guess they didn't really expect anything to happen though. I mean it's already been ten years. Why would anything be happening now? I guess that's the question going on but hey. I don't they can foresee that precisely into the future. I guess King Baltra can but even still. While I was getting pissed off in my head, someone was knocking at the door. Oh great. Ha someone finally come to update us. I peeked through the peephole of the door. It's Gilthunder. That means the contract is coming into play here. I opened the door.
"Greetings Gilthunder." I said as I welcomed him into the house.
"Hello Lillian. Where's King?" He asked.
"Being a lazybutt and floating in the corner."
"Lillian!"
"That is what you were doing though." Seriously.
Shut up. We have more pressing matters at hand.
"So I have come here today to give you a basis on the situation. We do not know the location of most the sins but we have Ban,the fox's sin of greed, locked up in Baste prison. The location of the others are unknown."
"Is that it?" King asked.
"We simply wanted to give you a basis on the situation." Gilthunder replied. "When something new comes up, we will let you know. Should I encounter the sins and they ask about you, I will say that you are dead. Also we will let you choose your target. That is it. I must be going now. Important things to do and such."
"Of course. We wouldn't want to hold up a diamond ranked holy knight such as yourself any longer than needed." I said.
"Thank you for understanding. I must take my leave now." He excused himself and let himself out the door.
"You are going to hope that should anything occur, that Ban gets broken out of prison and then you are going to choose him as your target right?" I asked.
"Yep."
"Wow. The hate must go in deep."
Did you know that I know where some of the sins are?
No you don't.
I actually do.
You legitimately know and you didn't tell Gilthunder.
Ye-es. But I can tell you if you want.
Sure. Where do you think they are.
Merlin is in Camelot, Meliodas is running a bar called the Boar's Hat, Diane is in the forest of white dreams, and Escanor is also running a bar who knows where. Gowther is constantly travelling. Right. It's fine if you don't believe me. Just sayin.
I don't believe you because how would you know.
That's a valid question. Anyway, do you want a cake?
Two weeks later…
"Hey King, can we get Oslow to go spy on Meliodas?" I asked. I think today, Gilthunder is coming by so this will appropriate things.
"Yeah. Why didn't I think of that before!" He whistled. I will never get used to that. The sound is so piercing, it hurts my ears. He put his body into it every time. Seriously. A hole in open and a head peeked out.
[What's up! Give me pork.]
"Hey Oslow." I whipped out lunalight and made a pile of pork. Oslow's tail started wagging so fast that you could barely see it.
[Thank you!] He jumped into the pile of pork and went through the whole thing in like five seconds. Wow. He's really obsessed with pork.
"Hey Oslow, can you do me a favour please?"
[Sure what? You gave me a ton of pork, so that was your payment for this favour.]
"Can you spy on the owner of this bar called the Boar's hat?"
[Sure.]
"One thing, If you get scared or they might kill you, come back right away."
[Okay. I'm off. Be back soon.]
"Bye Oslow."
You don't have to be so nice to him you know.
Whatever. This way he will let me ask him to do more favours in the future.
You don't have to be though. Is someone here? It's Gilthunder.
"Hello Gilthunder. What can I do for you today?" I greeted.
"Today, I bring new interesting information. Fort Solgales was destroyed and Baste Dungeon and the Weird Fangs were annihilated. Ban has joined up with Meliodas and Diane."
You are taking Ban then?
Yes.
He floated over and gazed out the window. "Really… I don't understand why they would make a move now… If only he had stayed quiet… Then he wouldn't have to become my target." He said acting wistful. Acting.
"Don't you dare betray my trust, King." He said.
"...Trust? Sorry but can you keep stuff like that between your own race? I have my own way of doing things." He yawned. "That's more convenient for you isn't it?" Gilthunder considered this.
"...Yes." The door creaked open.
"Who is it?" Gilthunder called out. A furry head poked through the door.
"Welcome back! How was it? Did you find him?"
[I did find them but then one of the guys had a really scary aura… Then another person's aura sprang at me like a snake! Lillian said to come back if I got scared or if they tried to kill me.]
"Oh I see. That's why you came back." He said. Well at least he's okay. I approached Oslow and started scratching his head when he dropped something into my hand.
"Huh? You had something in your mouth?" I looked at the items and passed them to King.
"This is no time to be occupied with a worthless dog." said Gilthunder.
"Hey Gilthunder," said King," can you pass this message on to your worthless dogs? 'If they get in my way I will finish them along with him...' Got it?"
"I understand. Should a member from another faction interfere, aplogizes. I must take my leave now. Goodbye King. Goodbye Lillian."
"Bye Gilthunder." I called cheerfully after him. So King, you going to drop the sinister act now?
Gah fine. How did you know it was an act?
Because you were acting crazy and unusual. If you actually meant the trust comment you made, than you wouldn't be in love with Diane. Well anyway, they'll be heading to the Necropolis since Gilthunder told them that you were dead in the forest of white dreams. You can set the trap for him there.
Good logic.
I'll put all our belongings back in the forge. Who knows when we'll be back?
True. I'm going to start planning. We leave tomorrow.
Edit 23/3/19: Looks at this and proceeds to wish to die. Completely aware that it's trash... cleaned up format. Basically.
