Having heard the Captain's words, Arthur understood the seriousness.
"But since they can use long range multi-person teleportation scrolls, can't they also use the same to come to the town?" Arthur asked in doubt. "Won't your departure give them a greater chance to act?"
"We did consider that." Guild master Caleb spoke this time. "And we already have a solution for that."
"The Church of Hestia... They'll be providing protection too this time." Captain Fredric revealed.
"They are?!" Arthur was surprised.
While churches of various gods did have the obligation to protect the people of the settlement it was located in, it still depended on several factors such as the size of the settlement.
The power of a church depended on its people and patronage, thus a church in a large city would have a lot more power than a church in a town. The town church would have limited influence and would usually only act when the church itself was threatened.
Churches of course had their own knights and soldiers that had sworn to protect them. These would only act upon the order of the church and would not interfere in normal matters.
For a church of the town to have been spurred into action was unusual.
"The Church of Hestia cannot stay put when there are cultists of Iltan trying to threaten the safety. Of course, they would act as well." Mage Hudd explained. "In addition to that, the Church will be further increasing the protection of the town. We might even get a divine barrier." She added.
"A divine barrier... yes if that is active, they won't be able to teleport here." Arthur muttered.
"So that is what shall be happening. I'll be gone for a week at most and will try to return as soon as I can. My return will probably be with a regiment of soldiers too for added protection." Captain Frederic stated.
"Is there something you need from me?" Arthur finally asked.
"Nothing as of now. Just that you should be aware of all this and be willing to protect the town when needed." Captain Fredric replied.
"Of course." Arthur nodded.
"With that over, I believe some rewards are in order." Captain Fredric changed the topic, giving a look to Alchemist Lugan. "You have successfully completed a difficult mission while risking your life for this town. You shall be rewarded accordingly for that."
Arthur held his breath, as he waited to see just what he would be obtaining.

The one person that Arthur had thought a lot about earlier had just messaged him.
He was also sure that this was indeed THE Rain, as the user name was unique to him and others couldn't copy it. The profile even had a verified tag on it, confirming that it was indeed Rain, the top e-sports player.
"I didn't expect him to actually message me..." Arthur wondered what the man wanted. "He didn't even talk about any offer... neither did he mention his company." It was a bit confusing.
Arthur didn't reply to him right away, of course, knowing that wouldn't be appropriate.
~Sigh~
"I'll think over it first... can't mess this up." Arthur knew there would be risks in talking to him first, and as such, decided to wait and watch. 'Perhaps he might send more messages and clarify.' He thought.
With that done, Arthur logged out of the forums and opened the Dream Pod V3.
~Hiss~
"HAA~ That feels... much better than I thought." Arthur stretched a bit and realized that his body felt different.
