Most heroes went to Zeltbull to check out the weapons during their first month after summoning. But, Naofumi visited about several months later due to various reasons.

International Relations
They are just merchants and don't have any favorites or any diplomatic relation with any nation. They sell anything for a profit and doesn't have any friends or bad blood with any nation.

The only time they took sides was under the surface in favor of Melromarc against Tact-led Faubley. They lend their hands happily, for Tact killed their Vassal weapon hero. Not only hurting their pride but also to favor the original heroes. The dark guild also sold Faubley's military uniform to Itsuki to infiltrate Faubley's army. This action gained their confidence from both the coalition army and Melromarc.
