Arriving at the city they immediately went to the Guild to search for information about the Twelve Mask.
When they entered the Guild they were stared at with uncomfortable gazes from the people who were Guilds, well even for Valen it was commonplace because he had experienced it while living in Calvary City.
“There can I help you with?” ask receptionist.
“I want to find information.” replied Demian.
“Sorry but here does not sell Information. We only give the mission to Hunter.” he replied.
“I want to find information about Twelve Mask.” Demian insisted on seeking information from him.
The receptionist looked a little surprised to hear it and then slowly brought her mouth closer to Demian's ears.
“You better look for information about it in the store across it.” he said pointing to the revival across the Guild.
“Why not here?” ask Demian.
“Sadly you are not a Hunter so we cannot give you any Information about it in the slightest.” he replied.
“Have followed what he said.” Valen said.
They then walked out of the Guild and went to the building shown by the previous Receptionist.
The cring!!
As they entered they saw the antique and ancient items of the racks that were in the building.
“Tumben there are customers during the day like this.” said the grandmother who came from behind while carrying a book.
“What's right here we can get Information?” ask Valen.
“True but you guys have to pay for it.” he replied.
“It should be enough right?” demian said stomping 3 silver coins of the shirt.
“No! You have to pay 20 silver coins for 1 Information.” he replied.
“20 silver!! Isn't that too expensive?!” valen was shocked when he heard it.
“Quietly, if I have that.” replied Demian took out 17 silver coins.
“Ah I mispronounced it. Should be 40 Silver coins.” said the grandmother.
“Nih!” said Demian took out another 20 silver Coins.
“Did I just say 40 silver? I mean 80 silver coins.” said the granny again.
“Do we have that much?” whispered Valen.
“Nih!” said Demian took out another 40 silver Coins.
“It looks like you really need the information, so what information do you want?” ask the grandmother.
“Twelve Mask.”
The grandmother was silent for a moment when she heard it and instantly the look on her face turned quite serious.
“What do you want from them? They are not people you can disturb just like that.” said the grandmother.
“I want to hit them.” replied Demian.
“Actually we met with 2 people who claimed to be Twelve Mask and it turns out that the incident about the previous Troll was also due to their actions.” cut Valen.
“Where did you guys meet them?” ask the grandmother.
“Out of town but they were too weak and we managed to kill him.” Valen replied.
“You killed him! You guys don't double?” said the grandmother.
“Certainly no.” replied Valen.
“Alright then.”
“Twelve Mask is actually an organization created by a genius who once lived in this city, Merlin.”
“He is very talented can even understand all the lessons he read in just one read.”
“To the point that he once tried to make a healing potion and of course with success he made it make his name famous but unfortunately he was very eager to continue the experiment and decided to make a potion which can make the body immune from diseases.”
“Unfortunately it failed and made an old man die with a melted body. After that incident people in many cities who blasphemed and worsened his name.”
“Merlin is trying to improve his good name with another new herb that can strengthen one's body, of course no one wants to try after hearing bad rumors about him.”
“Until finally came a little boy to Merlin and said that he wanted to try his new potion.”
“It turns out that the herb is powerful and managed to make the child become strong and big instantly but unfortunately the next day the child died because his body was getting bigger every time until it ended exploding.”
“Because of that people are convinced that Merlin is not a genius anymore and they decided to expel him from the city.”
“But after decades passed suddenly heard again the familiar name that has long disappeared it.”
“At that time there were 12 people wearing masks with different carvings standing on the roof of the Guild shouting that Merlin's vengeance would arrive.”
“That incident cost many lives in the city including Hunter Rank E.”
“Citizens are confused why the monsters that should be in the desert can be in their city, even though the distance between the desert and the city of Asteria is very far.”
“They also remembered about saying 12 masked people above the Guild a week ago that the Reprisal of Merlin would arrive.”
“That day every early 3 months the city is always attacked by various monsters that should not be around.”
“So actually about the origin of the monster everyone also knows that it was caused by the Twelve Mask but because no one dared to fight them so many decided to be quiet and resigned to what happened.” replied the grandmother.
“And now after hearing this are you sure this is against them?” ask the grandmother.
“Of course! Men can not withdraw his words.” said Demian.
“Then where can we find their headquarters grandma?” ask Valen.
“I do not know for sure but there are people who tell me that they live in an abandoned castle located far west of the city of Asteria.” replied the grandmother.
“Castle? Why is there a castle in this area?” ask Valen.
“Entah, I don't know either because I've never walked out of town my whole life.” he replied.
“No need to pleasantry Valen! Let's kick them!” demian.
“Iya-iya be patient!” said Valen.
“Then I go first grandma, thanks for the information.” said Valen.
“Hei wait! Take the rest, the original price is only 3 silver coins.” said the grandmother pushed all silver coins issued by Demian before after taking 3 silver coins.
“Thanks nek.” says Valen smile.
“Come again.” answer.
After Demian finished taking all his coins they ran out of the city and went west to beat up the masked bastards and Merlin.
About 1 hour running they finally found the castle mentioned by the previous grandmother.
It is true that the castle looks abandoned because of the many grass that spread on the walls and also a lot of moss on the roofs.
But even so the floor looks a little clean from rumlut maybe because of the people who pass through it.
“This is my feeling or indeed I smell the pungent smell of drugs around this.” Demian said.
“I kissed her too. Like it comes from inside.” Valen said pointing to a door.
“Come we check.”
“Sorry but dad is experimenting there.” said someone behind them.
“It looks like we have visitor” said the person next to him.
“Again masked person.” Demian said.
“Again? Meaning you've met one of us?” said it.
“Of course even now they are waiting for you up there.” replied Demian.
“What do you mean you killed him? Hmph looks like you're delirious.”
“Really! We're not as weak as you think so don't want to try to lie to us.”
Whoshis!
Valen and Demian having appeared in front of them and strangled each of them strongly.
“So you mean one like this that is not weak?” valen and Demian said at the same time.
“Le-let me go!!” he said wriggling trying to release Valen's grip.
Cracks!!

“B-boar!” said the person who strangled Demian in a soft voice.
“I don't want to waste a long time here.” said Valen threw the body of the man.
“Ya already.”
Crackling
Demian also broke the neck of the person he strangled and threw it on the body of the person killed by Valen.
“Now let's go in.”
Brak!!
Demian punched the door because it could not be opened, it seemed like the person inside did not want to be disturbed to the point that the door was locked.
“Who are you?!” said someone in the room wrinkled his forehead when he saw Valen and Demian enter there.
