Visiting the Adventurers Guild

    How happy he was when he passed the short training exam, even getting praise from Veroa. It gave himself a high spirit to continue to improve the mastery of kendo sword techniques. Supposedly, after this week he officially became the personal guard of Veroa, but Veroa gave a full month for him to deepen his mastery of the kendo sword technique, so that he would feel more self-defeating while on duty later.

    His busyness is slightly reduced, just sitting on a chair and taking care of a pile of documents that are considered very boring according to him. Occasionally he also set aside time to accompany Vina to play in the park or the streets around the square.

    One afternoon, as she was walking with Vina who was clasping her hands tightly, she, there is a merchant not far from him is currently talking to the other trader who is not far from the merchant.

    “Do you know? On the way here, there was a chimera monster who was starving. Evidently the chimera attacked our entourage ferociously. Mercenaries, those who are victims, I can do nothing but use it to save myself, so that their sacrifices are not in vain” said the merchant.

    The other merchant who heard of his bad luck met a shuddering chimera in horror. Then, he asked “What is that chimera still there or not huh? If the monster stays on the way home later, I will run out later”

    Veroa only heard it, not intending to interfere in their conversation. But, he felt excited, as he thought there would be a turn to display his abilities as the Tungsten Duke. Before that, he planned to make sure of it first to the adventurer guild party, more precisely Guild Master Alfrederic. Whether the adventurers were able to overcome this problem or not. If he is able, it means he must provide a mission related to this problem to lure adventurers who have qualified strength to be able to overcome it. As much as possible, he hoped for no casualties from the adventurer guild.

    He was still accompanying Vina, until the orange hue was caught by the eyes of everyone in the West. The sun was about to set soon, and both of them had returned to the palace. After changing clothes, he immediately left again not deciding to rest, heading to the adventurer guild.

    Right up to him, the sun had already completely sunk, leaving only his royal rays slowly fading away. He then went inside.

    “Excuse me..” sees the receptionist woman is too busy with her work so unaware of her arrival, she feels a little hesitant to bother him. But, after she said something quite quietly like that, the receptionist woman allowed a glance and then, she was shocked, feeling uneasy with her attitude that was unaware of the arrival of the customer.

    “Aduh, sorry-sorry. I was so focused on my work that I didn't notice your arrival. Ahem... Welcome to the adventurer guild, City Lord. Can I help you?” not to be surprised, everyone who has lived in this city for a long time will know Veroa as the Duke of Tungsten who has led this city for the better in a short time, making such a big change in a positive direction.

    “Iya Miss, sorry to surprise you too. If you are busy, I can find other workers to help my needs kemari” look at the receptionist woman who both look at her, she returned her smile.

    “Hihi... So, what can I help you with, Mister?” the receptionist woman immediately switched the topic back after being reminded of her quite heaped duties.

    “Quite tell Alfrederic will visit me in”

    There was no need to wait for a long time until the sound of shouting was loud enough to attract the attention of the adventurers and the guild officers, but only a glance after knowing who was making a sound. They had certainly known how the likes of Guild Master Alferderic made a stir. So, they're pretty used to it.

    “Ooh... City Lord!!!” he ran through the wooden stairs, not caring about the sound of wood that was quite weathered that could collapse at any time.

    “Alfrederic, can you..” Veroa paused for a moment before he recalled, he had reminded this one man several times not to behave like that as a guild master, but his attitude had been ingrained. “Ah, have”

    “Master City, I'm sure you visited here, having heard the news about the appearance of the chimera monster.” Guild Master Alfrederic paused for a moment to look at Veroa's response which he replied with a nod. Then, he continued his remark, “For the time being, the guild party is trying to handle it. Some adventurers who had sneak magic skills had been stalking the monster. But, this afternoon we had some pretty worrying news, Tuan”

    Guild Master Alfrederic had earlier immediately invited Veroa to a more secretive place to discuss it, so that no one would interfere while the two were having a serious conversation.

    “In fact, I came here to ascertain, whether the adventurer guild is able to handle this matter or not. Thus, I can provide a mission for adventurers for later they will get the right reward. But, if this mission is dangerous to the risk of death, I think I'll handle it myself. So, what made this Guild Master feel worried?” Veroa was still relaxed after Guild Master mentioned there was alarming news, even her hands were now holding her chin with her legs folded, looking at the Guild Master who looked surprised by her words just now.

    Seeing the unexpected reaction, Guild Master Alfrederic was astonished. But, she immediately informed him of the news before she flatly rejected Veroa's remarks which she said would deal with the matter by herself. He himself was aware, it was hard to find a ruler capable of being compared to this young Veroa. So, it would be a pity if he risked his life for the safety of the city.

    “Hee... You don't know how great I am. But, surprisingly enough, the chimera, which usually does not descend the mountain and only flies in search of prey around, is now on a plain that happens to be near this city. Moreover, this chimera monster exudes an aura of darkness, you say?” Veroa thought, must be a strong reason that made the chimera monster look wild and endanger the settlement. He tried to relate the possibility of what happened, how this monster could be polluted by the dark energy. “Does the Abandoned World have anything to do with this incident?” thought.
