4 [ Chapter - 4: Adventurers' Guild & New Bodyguard ]
" Where Is It!? Where Is It!? Where Is It!?" Watching Lisa run around his Library with an amused smile is Seth, sitting on his chair lazily.
" This is life..." He smirked, causing Lisa to run faster, with chills running down her back.
" Hahaha~" Honey sweet, Seth laughed with an entertained expression.
" Don't eat me!" He heard Lisa yell.
" What if I want to?"
" Prevent!" With a red blush on her cheeks, Lisa exclaimed, as she almost tripped over a book.
" I'm not a mirror."
" Ugh! You're the worst!"
" I know~"
--
After watching Lisa for a few more minutes, Seth got bored.
Lazily, he got up off the chair and walked back to the main part of the Library.
" Yo Set, where's the... 'night books' at?'
" Row-69."
" Thanks, bro!"
" Seth! Where's the Kingdom history section at?!"
" Row-3, top shelf!"
" Appreciated!"
" My man Seth, where's the sword techniques section at?"
" Row-8, top right corner of the shelf."
" Thanks!"
" No problem."
Right, when Seth made it to the center of the Library, people ran or yelled at him, asking him for help after help. And being the 'good' person he is, he helped them, with an air of elegance, as Is he a Prince or Princess talking to their subjects.
" Mr.Seth!" Running Into the Library is that person with the scroll from earlier.
" Yes?" Stopping In his tracks, Seth asked neutrally.
" Here you go, Sir. This should be enough proof, right?" Handing a bag and Guild paper to Seth, the young man said, smiling.
Opening the bag, he wriggled his nose at the smell from the pouch. Resting Inside the pouch, are nine Goblin ears, still possessing fresh blood on them.
Taking the paper next, Seth's eyes flashed seeing the complete magic golden crest at the bottom of the sheet, meaning this Quest was Indeed: Complete. Furthermore, the only people who can stamp these crests are the employees of the Adventurers' Guild and the most trusted people In the Guild by the Guild Master, herself.
The Adventurers' Guild is an organization hat serves as an adventurer-for-hire service for the people and other organizations all over the vast Kingdoms In this new world, Seth has found himself In.
The Adventurers' Guild provides a platform to help newcomers adjust to the adventurer lifestyle, while also supporting veteran adventurers and allowing them to adventure more freely. The Guild collates all the complex word-of-mouth information it receives and redistributes it in the form of quests and adventures assigned to Adventurers.
By speaking to the receptionist, one can:
>Claim Bonus Daily Commission Quests.
>Claim Adventure Rank Rewards.
>Go on Expeditions.
And much more other quests.
A motto of the guild is "Ad Astra Abyssosque," which means "To the Stars and the Abyss."
Little is known about the origins of the Adventurers' Guild. However, based on veteran adventurers, It has been here as long as the Kingdom of Ngozi has been existing.
Within the Guild, there are two departments, both tasked with important roles for the Guild to remain functional.
The adventurers in the guild handle commissions taken to the guild.
The Intelligence Department typically does not undertake commissions. Instead, they provide adventurers with vital information that they can use to complete their commissions. This department is split into two groups: the investigators and the organizers. The investigators are in the field and handle the collection of information, while the organizers take all of the information gathered by the investigators and organize it before providing it to adventurers.
The Guild ranks Quests and Monsters based on difficulty from Rank SSS to presumably Rank E.
" Five Gold a week, is that good?" Already knowing who this is, he smiled.
' Huh?! F-F-Five gold?!"
" Is that not enough? About ten?"
" Ten?! No, no, Sir Five is gold enough for me!" Bowing like last time, he said In shock, hearing the number.
' Is five gold a lot here...?' Tilting his head In confusion, Seth asked no one In particular.
' I'll check later.' With 11,000 gold In his Inventory, Seth blinked his eyes uncaringly.
" Then five gold a week, it is." Shaking hands with the crimson hair young man smiled happily at Seth as If he was one of the Gods In the fresh.
" Just stand at the double doors, and guard It. This should be an easy enough first job, for you."
" Sir-Yes-Sir!"
" Before you go...What's your name? I never got It." Stopping him before he bows again, Seth asked calmly.
" Ah! Sorry, Sir! My name is: Benimaru."
" Pleasure to meet you Benimaru."
" No Sir. The pleasure is all mine."
" Mhm." Nodding, Seth smiled," Then, let's get to business."
" Sir!" Bowing greatly to Seth like a subject to his Lord, Benimaru left to the door and stood by It...menacingly.
" Heh..." Smirking at fond memories of watching Jojo, Seth left to behind the counter, and started reading a random book about grass and trees. A very interesting book to say the least.
Like, did y'know trees are Immortal, without even outside invasions against It. Trees are the longest living organisms on Earth, and never die of old age.
' Damn, no wonder those Hashirama cells In Naruto are so OP...'
Hell, trees are even weather forecasters. Tree rings can predict climate change.
' Fuckin aye, this book is fascinating~'
Looking at the chuckling Seth, people In the Library almost had a heart attack, hearing his honey-like sweet voice, that made them feel better about themselves.
' How can such a beautiful being be a boy!?' Yelling In Injust to the world, the male and some females sighed out with a dreamy look on their faces.
" I love you, Seth!!!" A random mob girl yelled with a blushed face and ragged breathing with pink hearts In her eyes, from across the Library.
" I know." Was his calm response uncaringly.
" Hehehe!"
' My appearance is going to bring me a lot of trouble, Isn't it?' Flipping the page to his book, Seth thought to himself with a so-done expression on his face.
' Knowing Murphy, It is.'
