Chapter 184 – Chapter 184 ― If You Are on My Side (2)
Episode 184 ― If you are on my side (2)
The receptionist, who had been admiring his appearance for a moment, spoke shyly.
“Another thing you can do now is register as a reserve mercenary.
Prospective mercenaries will be able to officially register in the guild by solving simple requests from our guild or by receiving a recommendation of Platinum or higher. After that, you can proceed with other requests or use other services provided by the guild.”
His expression is a bit blank, but there is nothing wrong with the logic of his words.
It’s something I knew from the game, but since reality and the game may not be 100% the same, Roan asked.
“What kind of service does the guild provide?”
“Yes, you can also receive payment from guilds at other branches, or materials and items stored in guilds from other guilds. You can also use the shop or smithy connected by the guild cheaply. Or not…”
And the girl smiled as she looked into Roan’s eyes.
She’s not as pretty as Grünent or Helen, but she has a cute face. But what she sees in her eyes is lust.
“It’s okay to spend the night with me…”
“Ah, lady. That’s fine. Thanks for the explanation.”
Seeing her gaze, Helen hurriedly stepped forward and shook her hand. Roan laughed as he reaped the ‘Miheun’.
The clerk, who was staring at her Helen with her triangular eyes, looked at her Helen’s face — she is now the face of Aina, but she looks like both Helen and Aina are beautiful — and she looked a little downcast. .
“… Is that so?”
“Yes. First of all, I will only leave the request for now.”
Even if I become a mercenary who can receive official requests, there is no advantage to me.
After all, there is no point in teaming up with humans here. You have to do a request to get a level up or item…
I am emperor
The imperial castle storage is full of valuable items, and the stat to level up is knowledge.
Even if you do not receive a request for a certain period of time, you will receive a penalty when you refuse a nomination request.
“Then, please wait a moment.”
Gradually, the power of ‘Miheun’ is fading away.
Still with a sullen face,
The clerk checked Roan and Helen’s IDs, wrote something down in a ledger, and asked for their signatures.
The moment when Roan was handed a quill and signed.
A message floated before his eyes.
[Message: The function of the facility deployed in Sprouse is unlocked!]
[Message: Visit the facility shown on the map and see what it does!]
[Message: Visitable Facilities — Guild]
A message I saw quite often yesterday and today.
Roan leisurely turned off the message window and asked the guild staff.
“Can we proceed with the request right now?”
“Yes. Sure. Wait a minute.”
The employee checked the ledger’s signature and took out two of his necklaces.
“It is a symbol of being a guild member. It will probably help quite a bit from the outside.”
Roan took his necklace, put it on, and kept it in his arms.
Guild members do not harm each other.
It’s rare to be suddenly attacked while inside the city, but it can happen that you’re aiming for the same monster outside.
It is to prepare for the bloodshed then.
“Then, what kind of quest are you going to proceed with?”
To the employee’s question, Roan answered right away.
“I am trying to find someone.”
“Ah. All right. You say people wait a minute.”
The employee who was looking for a request form at the counter soon found the right piece of paper and handed it to Roan.
As soon as Roan fills out the paperwork, the employee looking at it stops and fixes his gaze somewhere.
“Cat Suin… What?”
Helen also looked at Roan with her eyes wide open. Perhaps Helen thought of the Count at once.
But Roan just nodded his head.
“That’s right.”
“Suin… If it’s a prisoner, most of them are living as slaves in Merde…”
Helen’s expression darkened, but Roan quietly waited for confirmation from her staff.
“The person you are looking for is a cat Suin. He has an estimated age of 19 to 21 years. I’m a woman… My name is Yuri.”
The clerk who was reading the paperwork filled by Roan frowned and turned the paper over.
However, even on the front page, there is no way that empty personal information is written on the back page.
“Is this all?”
“Yes. Unfortunately… This is someone I met as a child.”
“Ah.”
The employee nodded.
Looking at him with pity and warm eyes.
Perhaps the guild lady thought that Roan was trying to find the slave he met as a child because he could not forget it.
“All right. And the commission fee… Omg!”
The employee, who looked at Roan with pity for a moment, held his breath while looking at the compensation amount written under the details of the request if the request was successful.
“This too… That’s right, you wrote it right… Are you?”
“That’s right.”
However, Roan’s expression was calm.
Helen, who glanced over Roan’s shoulder at the paper the employee was reading, quietly swallowed a laugh.
“Deadline, none. The cost of success… , 10 gold…”
Money to buy a house in the capital.
Consternation appeared and disappeared on the staff’s face.
In order to entrust a request to the guild, you have to pay a fee, and the fee is proportional to the cost and duration of success.
This neat-looking guest might end up paying the guild a few gold as a fee until he withdraws the request, but he just smiled lightly and confirmed that the staff member was right.
“Yes.”
“Ah, I see…”
“Isn’t there a male mercenary named Mutt?”
When Roan asked, the employee looked at Roan with a puzzled expression.
“Moot… There are very few mercenaries.”
The employee who lowered his voice whispered to Roan.
It was because other people started appearing in the guild building in the morning.
Anmut’s name is famous, but there are still people who don’t know that he is a beastman.
“Are you referring to Anmut-nim, by any chance?”
“Anmut… ?”
In Roan’s gentle expression, the black eyes that had changed into transformation shone.
“You’re a snow leopard with a gentle impression, right?”
“… Yes. You’re right.”
My name wasn’t Mut.
It was Anyut.
“Are you planning to designate Anmut-nim as a commission? He is a Platinum-level mercenary, but I think you can hire him for a request fee of 10 gold.”
“Oh, no. I want to ask you something else.”
Slowly shaking his head, Roan spoke to the female guild staff.
“Isn’t the magician accompanying him a prisoner?”
“Yes? If you are a wizard… Are you talking about Lia?”
A guild girl who retraces her memory.
Okay. The hero called Urtellia Lia.
“Yes. Lia is not a prisoner.”
And at the answer that followed, Roan narrowed his eyes.
“Lia-sama is a human. I heard that she is no different from Anmut-nim’s older sister, and she’s much older than the person the request owner, Ai Sen-nim, is looking for. It’s already been 7 years since he became an adult and has been active in the guild? You are in your 8th year.”
Roan lowered his gaze.
While Yurteria could have fooled her race with transformation tools and magic, it would have been difficult for her to fool her age.
The age to be active in the guild is from sixteen, the age of this world. It is around the time when the power is blooming due to the awakening of the demon tribe, and it is the age when one is recognized as an adult.
If that’s true, it means that the age of Urtellia, who appeared as a ? In the game, is already over twenty-three.
Of course, it was said that the Count was not quite sure how old he would be at the time of the loss of his younger brother. However, it is not easy to confuse a child who is estimated to be four or five years old at the time and a child who is eight or nine years old.
At that age, 4 to 5 years will make a huge difference.
“Yeah… Are you all right?”
Looking at Roan, who had a strangely sullen expression, the female employee put on a restless expression.
But Roan sighed lightly,
He smiled like it was nothing.
Okay.
If he ever sees Yurteria again,
He can ask her directly.
“It’s okay. Miss.”
Roan’s smile made the guild receptionist look possessed, and Helen puffed out her cheeks.
“And I have one more request.”
“All right.”
The guild lady’s movement became a little quicker.
After she took out another request form from inside her reception desk, she found a pile of letters that hadn’t been there before.
“This… What is it?”
“This is a letter I want to deliver as a request.”
“A letter? If it’s a letter, the Royal Post…”
“I have to ask the guild.”
The powerful voice of ‘appeal’ tickled the lady’s ears. Her expression, which was startled for a moment, was soon relieved.
“Ah, I see…”
The guild’s contact network is not as dense as that of the Post Office, but covers a wider range.
The Post Office is literally run by the royal family.
In the corner of Merde, where the power of the royal family is hard to reach, even the post office does not operate.
On the other hand, the guild’s request was delivered even to Merde’s border area. A guild might be appropriate to deliver the letter to a wider area.
But what people don’t do is
Because, of course, hiring someone is much more expensive than putting a single postage stamp on it.
While Roan writes down the details of the request,
The guild staff began sorting out the letters piled up on the counter.
The name of the sender and the address and name of the recipient are written on the outside of the letter sealed with wax.
It is strange that there is no address of the sender, but there is nothing impossible.
“My God, what is it?”
“They said they ordered delivery.”
Other employees who had gone to work appeared one by one, sending a mountain of letters and looking curiously at Roan’s face.
There was a woman whispering to an employee, then looking at Roan and then disappearing with her face blushing, and someone started sorting and sorting letters together.
The area around the counter started to fill up.
In the meantime, Roan filled out the necessary information in the document.
“It’s done.”
“Yes. It’s about delivering letters and receiving replies. As written, there are a total of 197 letters.”
“You’re right.”
“The deadline is until the end of June, two months later. Well, we must hurry up and proceed.”
One month by carriage from Basel to the farthest north of Merde. Perhaps in order to receive a reply within two months, the guild would have to hurry up with notices and mercenary arrangements.
The guild lady’s eyes widened as she read the request while recalling a rough outline and requirements in her head.
“Compensation… The cost… This… This…”
She can’t follow her words.
Why are you making such a fuss?
The clerk in the seat next to her, who helped sort her letters, glanced at her request form and was shocked with the same expression as her.
“De, Della, this, this… Gil, guild leader…”
“Wait a minute, I’ll talk to the guild leader and come back!”
The guild quickly became an uproar.
And what appeared in front of Roan was,
A guild leader you’ve never seen before while playing the game.
“Thank you for coming!”
Let the guild leader raise a 90-degree bow
The receptionists behind the counter were too far away to stand still.
The mercenaries who entered the guild early in the morning were surprised at the rare sight of everyone bowing their heads, and each one heard a buzz.
However, despite the sudden attention, Roan was calm.
The time he spent as emperor was several months.
Now Roan was able to calmly accept the gaze of others.
“I don’t want to do this here, but is there a place where we can talk quietly?”
To Roan’s quiet question, the guild leader answered again and again with a cringe.
“Yeah, even if you don’t, I tried to bring you up. Please come up.”
