Chapter 10 – The Adventurer’s Guild – 3
The meeting itself ended quickly.
There was no particular topic to talk about, just asking a few questions about the guild and everything. Because it was all I was going to manage in the future.
“Our guild’s gain is, in the end, credit.”
“Credit?”
“Yeah. Nobles, or merchants with connections to knights, have their manpower limited. That’s where we come in.”
Power.
Bandit, rogue. Starting from various man-made disasters, those who have magical powers that can even prevent natural disasters if they are lucky.
“Our adventurers’ credit is never low.”
“Hmm. Can I trust you easily?”
It’s about protecting and preserving expensive things.
There could be a black heart, and a knife could be stabbed in the back during the trip.
Czech Republic… Zeke was also watching with a disapproving face.
Isabelle shook her head with a pale face.
“I can’t say that there aren’t any adventurers like that, but adventurers who do such things are eventually caught after a short time.”
If it’s not once or twice, of course you find the cause.
I’m looking for the guild, and I’m looking for the person who commissioned the job.
If you are wanted, you must give up living in the village.
And those guys end up becoming bandits or thieves.
“Everyone knows very well that if a person possessing magical powers has an accident, most of them become the dew of the executioner. So…”
It’s rare. Or rare
Even if there is, it helps the investigation at the guild level.
The guild is not a place to help adventurers. It is a place that arranges adventurers and clients, and it is on the side of the territory. No, it is just a subordinate institution of the territory.
“Huh. The best way is to ask us to do the work for you. It’s something you do with that in mind, so it’s only natural that you get stabbed in the back of the head.”
“Ah, that.”
There are times when support is provided at the territory level.
Large-scale upswing.
Upward escort directly by soldiers and knights, traveling around the southern region mainly in large cities.
At this time, there are quite a few merchants following this group. Mostly small businesses or individual businesses do this.
Or you could ask the lord to dispatch a knight.
It is a kind of support policy.
Isabelle smiled bitterly at her.
“If the timing is not right, it is difficult to participate, and the latter is expensive. It’s hard to handle unless it’s about the target meeting. No, the Grand Council also uses adventurers or its own escort troops, unless it is a moderate ascending trip.”
“I heard that.”
“Of course. It is because the knight moves directly.”
It is natural that the price is high.
Rather, imagine that armored vehicles, not motorcycles, deliver in the nation of delivery.
No one steals, skips, or spills on the way, but the money it costs is no joke.
“So, the adventurers’ guild mainly arranges transactions that other guilds or merchants do periodically with trustworthy adventurers, and in return, the guild also receives benefits.”
It’s like a dispatch company.
I don’t think that’s wrong. But there is no romance, no romance.
“You don’t do monster hunting?”
“It is often done in adventurers or mercenaries where adventurers gather. It’s just not led by the guild. If there is a material you want, you can only mediate it. Sometimes I also explore dungeons.”
“Dungeon? What kind of place is it?”
I remembered the labyrinth and dragon I had done before.
A nostalgic arcade game. I’ve never seen an ending before.
“Well. A dungeon is a naturally formed structure where monsters form groups due to magic or other reasons.”
“Usually, the magic stone is the cause.”
Magic stone.
An item unique to the fantasy world.
It is an item that is sometimes found in mines. In its natural state, it has the effect of gathering magic power, and when processed, it can store magic power depending on its size.
I.E. The battery.
An external auxiliary battery. Or a bomb.
It is a strategic material.
“It must be expensive.”
“Yeah. There are not a few adventurers whose goal is that.”
If you are lucky enough to find a magic stone.
Then it’s like winning the lottery. It’s rare, but it’s not unheard of.
It’s not enough to raise a family with this, but it’s still a sufficient reward.
Of course, the price varies depending on the size.
The act of carrying it into the city itself is a criminal act and is being treated with caution.
Although it is worn like an accessory to nobles.
Now I looked at the bracelet that felt like one body. A strange blue jewel glows.
“…”
Isabelle, who must have noticed that gaze, also looked at her bracelet, and her face turned blue.
I deliberately shook it.
– Jjallang! Jinglang!
“Cough, Cough!”
Haha.”
She’s a fun girl
She coughed and laughed at Isabelle as she whipped up a shot of the still-hot tea.
In fact, there are many things you can do with magic crystals, but honestly, the efficiency is poor except for external batteries. There are things that can’t be helped.
Anyway, let’s go over the little things.
“Did you hear anything else?”
Czech Republic… It wasn’t.
Glancing at Zeke, he nodded her head.
Perhaps noticing the atmosphere, I saw Isabelle swallowing her saliva.
“Franz has a war right in front of him.”
“Yeah. I heard the story.”
“Well, since I told you beforehand, I will take care of it. The reason I came this time is because I am now in charge of it.”
“Yeah.”
Isabelle also nodded her head with a serious expression.
She began the conversation slowly and carefully.
“Let her requests for the Great Mountains gradually decrease.”
“Yeah. I will adjust.”
“Report the request for Muller.”
“Yeah. We are under a covert investigation now.”
“Were there any other suspicious requests?”
“Yeah. As far as I checked, there was no special request.”
Hmm. No problem so far.
But. My brother must have checked it once.
“What about the adventurers who came in from outside?”
“We are checking everything. Recently, the number of adventurers who came in from outside has not changed much.”
“Looking at the documents, it seems that there are quite a few originally.”
“Since the Franz estate is the largest among the estates located near the Great Mountain Range, there is a situation where people inevitably flock to it. Other than here, there is only Borang territory, but since Borang is far from the Daesanmaek, there are many cases in which people flock to this land.”
Hmmm.
One of the things that happen to be proud of being the most developed in the southern region is that people are flocking to it.
Of course, the benefits of gathering people are greater, so we are considering all of them.
“Be an adventurer.”
In addition to Müller, in other territories, it is not uncommon for knights with a little less magical power among their retainers to change their status to adventurers and sneak into other territories.
We are doing it too
“Even though Müller doesn’t seem inclined to do that.”
“Yeah. Indeed, the number of adventurers coming from Müller is dwindling. There are even rumors that even adventurous adventurers escaped because the atmosphere was unusual.”
Is it because of power due to infighting?
If the situation gets worse, the adventurers will be forcibly recruited.
In the first place, not only Müller but also other estates had to be taken care of.
I don’t think you’ll notice yet.
“Isn’t there anything special in the other territories?”
“Yeah. Until now.”
Has anything changed from what was in the document?
I checked a few more things, but nothing seems to be wrong.
“Then, I hope there are no unnecessary accidents. Got it?”
It’s not an all-out war, so not all troops escape. I don’t want to cause any fuss.
Don’t make a useless accident, and do well so that the lower person does not have an accident.
I mean, that’s what it means.
“Yeah. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Well.”
After saying that, she stood up and Isabelle also stood up and bowed her back.
I’m thinking of going soon.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck.
Quiet space.
He slowly approached Isabelle.
She put her hand on Isabelle’s shoulder as she bowed as she bowed.
“Yes.”
Isabelle trembled and trembled.
She slowly stroked her shoulder gently.
I felt the soft touch of a well-trained body.
“You did a good job today.”
“Yes Yes.”
Her voice trembled with tension.
Lowering her head, she slowly moved closer to his ear.
There was a sign that she was holding her breath.
It smelled different from the people in the castle.
“I quite liked it. See you next time.”
“… Yeah?”
Tuk-tuk.
She gave her one last pat on the shoulder and left her office.
Was it an illusion that I heard the sound of falling through the closed door?
* * *
“Something… Her body looked so bad. Shall I send you something good for your body? You are still young.”
“No, that… Big, big. You’ll be fine now. And that age is not young.”
“What?”
… No. Aren’t you young?
Maybe it’s because he’s an adventurer, so he has a good style. Although there are some scar marks.
“I don’t know the exact age, but if you’re in your late 20s or early 30s, you’re old as a woman.”
“Is it?”
“It’s not good for children either.”
When you become an adult, whether you are a man or a woman, you get married almost immediately, so your point of view is different from mine.
At that time, children are born, or at the latest, in their early 20s, so by the time they are in their 30s, most of them are already married with children.
Magical power holders tend to look young even when they are old, so even if Isabelle is in her early 20s, minus her scars, it will work.
Taking that into account, I’m assuming he’s in his late 20s.
“As expected, women are young and easy to deliver.”
Czech Republic… No, I saw Zeke’s face.
It was sincere.
“Yes…”
* * *
“I will start preparing.”
Rumble.
She blinked at the crowd of maids.
“Preparations?”
“Yeah. I have something to prepare for tonight.”
After going to the adventurer’s guild, he was looking at the documents.
There was a lot more to do than I thought.
Compared to reality, it’s alright.
As Neria was drinking her tea, Lena appeared.
“Preparation, what preparation?”
You haven’t lost yet?
“I am ready to have sex.”
Let’s cover up some words.
Look at the red faces of the maids.
