Trading With Another World

Gold Rating (2)

Alex went down the stairs to the first floor and saw a group of four people sitting in the corner of the room.

Jean, Big Three, Christopher, and Mina were gathering around one table while waiting for the food they ordered.

Alex walked up to the four and sat in one of the empty seats.

"It's good to see you're sober Leon. Is your body okay?"

"of course. Right now my stomach is full of the recovery potion liquid you gave me."

The four laughed at Alex's joke. When they first found Alex's body, they were very worried about the charred condition of his body with severe burns.

The four of them felt powerless for handing over the huge responsibility to Alex earlier. Seeing the state of Alex who is currently performing energetic in front of them, of course the four feel happy.

After waiting for the five to finish the meal, Aya approached them with a charming smile. "Mr Zeff called you on the second floor."

"Alright, thank you Aya."

Then they left the table and walked together towards Zeff's room on the second floor.

***

Inside Zeff's den, Alex receives his badge which is upgraded to gold.

"With this, you've officially become a gold-ranked adventurer." Zeff patted Alex on the shoulder proudly.

"Woaaah, you're really good Leon. Congratulations!"

"Good Leon, with this we are on the same level. You deserve to be my rival now."

"What's with your confidence, Christopher? Aren't you ashamed of your age difference?"

"Whatchu mean? With our level of strength, age is not a problem.

"Stop arguing! I want to tell you an important piece of information."

Zeff stopped their conversation and looked at the five with a serious look.

"As I told you before, two mithril-level adventurers will come to this city to prevent something the Blood Star Church is planning."

"Have they come?"

"They're coming tonight. But before that, we will carry out a massive attack against all the members of the Blood Star Church who are hiding in this city."

"How big is the prize?"

Zeff smiled wryly at Mina's question. "Actually this is my own initiative, not a mission given by the center. But don't worry. Jean, didn't you say earlier that there were some merchants as well as rich people helping the Blood Star Church?"

"True Mr. Zeff."

"Well, with this raid you are free to take their money. Of course their property will be handed over to the city government later."

"Woaaah you're really Zeff's wise!"

"Yes that's right. You can give us a mission at no cost."

Zeff was embarrassed to hear the sarcasm of the Big Three.

Then Jean took out a leather scroll containing a list of the true identities of the members of the Blood Star Church as well as the people who helped them.

Jean opened the scroll with the full attention of the others. In addition to the names shown, in addition to these names are also listed their residence and hiding place in the city of Xyras.

"Anya's coup d'etat previously stationed in the southern district has been replaced by the blue priest Leon killed during the overnight raid. So that in this city there are only the blue priest Marter in the Eastern district, as well as the blue priest Siren in the Northern district."

"What about the West and South? Isn't there still a low-level member there?"

"You don't mind those two districts. I've gathered forty silver-level adventurers to deploy there. With the highest level of enemies being gray disciples, they should be fine."

"That's great. Then how do we deal with the enemy in the Eastern and Northern districts?"

"You will be divided into two groups. Leon and Jean will attack the Siren's blue priest, while the Big Three, Christopher, and Mina will attack the blue priestess Marter.

The five watched the scroll and nodded approving of Zeff's words. The blue priest Marter led ten gray disciples in the Eastern district while the blue priest Siren led five gray disciples in the Northern district.

Other than a few wealthy people as well as merchants on the side of the Blood Star Church who did not possess any combat power, five gold-level adventurers were enough to deal with them.

"To avoid spreading information about overnight raids to their ears, you need to move as quickly as possible. Are you willing?"

"Of course Mr. Zeff!"

On the previous mission, in addition to the five gold coins and a number of adventurer points given as overnight raid rewards, they also obtained two bottles of recovery potions to heal their injuries. Alex was even forced to drink five bottles of recovery potion when he fell asleep.

Thanks to that the five have now recovered to their maximum condition!

They immediately returned to the room provided to prepare themselves before departure.

After instructing the forty silver adventurers that were gathered and dividing them into two groups that were assigned to attack the Blood Star Church's hideout in the Western district as well as the remains of the low-level members in the Southern district, Zeff walked towards the secret room that was underground of the Guild building.

He gathered all four guild receptionists in the room. Including Aya and Elisha.

The room had no gaps for sunlight to pass through at all. Even so, the light stones placed in every corner of the room made the secret room have enough lighting for them.

"Isn't it still daytime? Why did Mr Zeff call us all here?"

"We've closed down the Guild for now, so you don't have to worry about it."

Then Zeff's face turned serious. "There's something I'd like to make sure of the four of you."

The four of them nodded nervously at the atmosphere Zeff put out. Based on their experience while working here, Zeff's current mood was bad and they would be scolded by him.

"Are any of you members of the Blood Star Church?"

"W-What do you mean by Mr Zeff?"

Seeing the look on their confused faces, Zeff felt a little relieved. After all, he was still not sure of the conclusion he had thought of before. But he still wants to confirm it further. "Then, try to say the cursed Blood Star Church!"

The four of them looked at each other in confusion. Looking at Zeff who continued to stare silently at them, the four of them nodded at each other then simultaneously shouted, "The cursed Blood Star Church!"

Zeff nodded confidently after they said so. Suddenly he thought of something. Based on the information he had received from the central headquarters, the group of the Blood Star Church that was currently appearing in the vicinity of the Great Forest was subordinate to the blood cardinal Jack the Slayer.

He wanted to confirm it again for the last time before he trusted the four of them. "I want you to shout once again out loud. Shout this sentence, blood cardinal Jack, I swear I will kill you and chop your body into pieces!"

Wossh.....

A heavy pressure emerged from one of the receptionists. Three others fell on the floor with shortness of breath and coughing up blood.

As a former golden adventurer, Zeff was able to withstand that pressure by flowing mana throughout his body. Despite this, he had enough difficulty to move both of his legs forward.

He turned his head and looked at the receptionist who was still standing in the middle of the room in annoyance, "It turns out that my guess was correct. The traitor is you Elisha!"
