Volume 1 The First Things to Do When Entering the Adventurer's Guild Chapter 3 The Adventurer's Guild
"My dear Modryla~" Darkskin walked through the door with an exaggerated and flattering smile, "The woman who beats time, the rose that never withers, you are still so beautiful today." β
Rod and Lott followed behind him and were uncomfortable by what he said, this kind of fleshy words are unspeakable to ordinary people, and only goblins can not care. However, after entering the hall, they didn't notice what Darkskin said, and the two of them were completely attracted by the interior decoration of the Adventurer's Guild. This was the place mentioned by the adventurers who had visited Beauvoir's Tavern, where the two had never had a chance to come before, where there was no food to give or work for. The two of them passed by the gate many times, but they didn't dare to come in as they watched the adventurers in armor and weapons in their hands. It was early in the morning, and there was no one else in the hall of the guild except for the woman at the front desk who was secretly called Modryla, and the two of them were less nervous because of it.
The hall is very large, there are some benches neatly placed on the left and right, the front desk has many windows, but now only one window in the middle is open, and the crystal screen above the window will continue to scroll some task information, and there are also many magic tables next to it There are also special crystal screens, a huge magic chandelier above the head is like a fountain that constantly sprays flashing star dust to the four small chandeliers, and the unique humanoid sculptures on the small chandeliers are doing various actions, these strange decorations make the two boys walk into the hall without bowing their heads at all.
"It's not fun to say that to a doll like that, Darkskin. Jasmine held her head and looked at the goblin who walked in front of her, she claimed to be a doll, but she looked no different from the real person, fair skin, long hair, pointed ears coming out of the hair, wearing ordinary patterned cloth clothes, very beautiful, she noticed the two boys behind him, "What commission needs to come to me so early" Jasmine pulled out a paper and pen "and brought two imps." β
"Thatβ" Darkskin wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak, and froze for a moment.
"Miss Doll, are you pretending to be an elf?" asked Lott for some reason, suddenly and recklessly.
Glancing at Lot, Modrilla ignored him, "Let me remind you first, if it is a particularly urgent commission, the guild can provide a key recommendation, which is the screen above the window, but there is an additional fee, and if it is a commissioned caretaker, there will also be an additional charge~" Modrilla showed a smile, it seemed that she was also very good at business, and Lote couldn't help but smirk when she saw Jashidela like this, and she didn't react until Rod poked him.
But Darkskin couldn't laugh anymore, "That...", he didn't know what to do.
"What can make you so embarrassed?" Mordreila smiled unabated, "Didn't you expect that the darkskinned uncle, who has always had a lot of money, would also encounter difficulties?" As she spoke, Mordrila snapped her fingers, and the lights in the hall went out at once, and the whole hall was plunged into darkness, but then another light appeared above Darkskin's head, and the two boys and Morella were hidden in the shadows.
"Say it, tell me everything you know~" Modrilla mimicked a thick voice.
"Don't make a fuss, Modelilah" didn't have any smile on her dark face.
Realizing that something was wrong, Modrilla snapped her fingers again, and the lights in the hall came back on, "Really, it's my pride to imitate the Kingdom's inspectors to interrogate prisoners, and you didn't react to this, what the hell is going on?"
"I... I don't know what to say..."Darkskin lowered his head, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the whole person began to tremble again.
Seeing the appearance of the dark skin, Modrila was really a little impatient, "Although I can't be as good at torture as the leader of the Thieves' Guild, that Guyu Bird Rukia, but I can also do ordinary interrogations." She pressed her hands to her dark face, "Do you want to try it?"
Frightened by this, Darkskin cried all of a sudden, "I'm here to confess, even if Rukia recruits everything, she won't do anything." β
"You wouldn't say that if you've met her. Putting her hand down, Modrilla propped up the table and looked at Darkskin, picking up a glass of water, "What the hell do you say, your body can't stand the interrogation." β
"Dolls can drink too?" Lott muttered quietly behind Darkskin.
As if she had heard, she glanced at Lot, then deliberately poured the water into her mouth, and then grunted and stirred like a mouthwash.
"I'm about Geis!" Darkskin finally mustered up the courage to look up and say what he was trying to do
"Poofββ!!!! Jasmine took a sip of water and sprayed it all on Darkskin's raised face, at this time the woman's expression was first surprised, then incredulous, and finally turned into disgust, she looked at the three people in front of her repeatedly, she was blindly touching something with her left hand, and finally touched a towel and handed it to Darkskin.
"Thank you," Darkpi wiped his face
"You don't have to return the towel, it's for your funeral. Modrella's face was now completely less joking than when she first saw her, she looked down and didn't know what she was doing, and then a magical image appeared in her current position, and the door to the side of the hall opened automatically.
"Come in from there, goblin, we're going to the conference room. Modrilla's tone was cold, and now she felt more like a magic doll.
Darkskin didn't dare to hesitate, and he led the two of them into the side door together.
Backstage, Modrilla was still sitting in her seat, looking at the goblins from top to bottom, "Say, what's the content of geis?"
"The content is to accept the special classification of the Adventurer's Guild..."Darkskin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her
"You're really good at taking care of the guild," Modrilla said, gritting her teeth, "are they both signatories?"
"Just him," Darkskin brought Rodra over
Modrilla grabbed Rod's left hand, "Humble one, show me your contract. After Modella finished chanting, a pattern began to appear on Rod's hand, with a capital "G", and two of them.
"Two?!" Modrilla cried out in surprise "Darkskin?!"
"I've only signed one, and the other one has nothing to do with me, it's okay!" Darkskin was so frightened that he knelt down directly, "It's all a misunderstanding, listen to me explain ah Modella!!"
"Someone will listen to your explanation" Rod's hand was let go by Modrya, and now Rod was also frightened, this woman changed her face faster than she could turn a book, and now a magical image was passing through her body, making her seem to have two heads now, very terrifying.
Moselilla was drawing something in the air with her fingers, and soon a small symbol appeared, and she spoke to the symbol, "I'm Modrella, Yass Langley, Holy Lady Yalts Lanley, emergency, very, very urgent, please come to the conference room now and bring your team." With that, Moselilla flicked her finger at the symbol, and the symbol disappeared.
She stood up and kicked away the goblins who were in her way, and the goblins fell to the ground, because of his small size, he looked like a ball, "Get up and follow me" and Modrella gave him a disgusted look.
After listening to Modrella's words, Darkskin immediately got up nimbly again, and beckoned the two boys to follow.
The interior of the Adventurer's Guild has never even been to the Darkskin, he only delegates tasks at the front window, and there is no chance to enter the back. This big trouble made him satisfy some curiosity. The adventurer's guild inside is no different from the York Chamber of Commerce to which Darkskin belongs, the backstage is all offices, there are many rooms and corridors, but further back you can see a garden at the exit of the corridor, and the back seems to be a little different, but they don't go that deep, and the conference room arrives after passing through a horizontal corridor.
Following Modelella, the three of them came to the conference room she said, this is a large room, the table is surrounded by a circle on one side of the room, this seems to be a place to sit and discuss, there is a cabinet on one side with tea and snacks, and on the other side is an open space, there are still many broken magic arrays left in the open space, it should not have been wiped clean before, but because they have been damaged, so there is no way to activate.
Arriving at the conference room, Modella found a chair and sat down, and Darkskin looked at it and pulled out a chair
"Stand," Mothria snapped
Darkskin shuddered and immediately stepped back
"There's no place for you to sit. Modella looked at the goblin in front of her with disgust, "I thought you were quite sincere in the goblins, and I didn't give you any less discounts for your commission, but I didn't expect that you were worse than those goblins." β
"I...."Darkskin wanted to say something, but knowing that it was useless to explain now, tears began to flow again, "Modelilah, you have to help me, I took the initiative to confess." β
"This is beyond my purview, goblin, wait, wait for the Church of the Word to come and see what she has to say. As he spoke, the door to the conference room was pushed open
"Modela?" a tall woman walked in, followed by several people, this woman was fair-skinned, with pointed ears, very similar to Modelila, wearing a pure white robe with a hood, unlike Modelila's plumpness, her chest was flat, but her walking posture was very elegant, it was simply beautiful, Modelilah was far inferior to her in this point.
"Really elves?" Lott called out in a low voice, as if he couldn't calm down properly when he encountered the word elf.
"What's going on?" the woman looked at the three people in the room, there were two human boys and a male goblin here, a really rare combination.
"Could it be an urgent escort mission?" a tall man behind the woman spoke, followed by a total of three men, all of whom looked very distinctive, one very strong with a large axe on his back, one with a thin staff on his back, and one with nothing in his hand but a black robe with a hood.
"Much worse than that, Hopler" Modrilla beckoned them to sit down, "Geis. β
After speaking, the faces of the four adventurers all turned gloomy.
"Yass Langley, you are a member of the church, you should preside over it here. Modrilla gave the voice to the elves.
Yass Langli's expression looked a little sad at this time, which made her look more moving, but now the dark skin looked at her, and her legs couldn't stop trembling, "I think, first of all, let's listen to what happened." "The elf's voice is also very good, very soft, although Modrella is also an elf, but the voice is more like a human.
Hearing the request that he could explain what had happened, Darkskin cried excitedly again, "Holy Maiden, please help me..."
Yass Langli nodded as she listened, and when she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Rod, "Come over here, kid," she beckoned Rod's over.
Rhodes hesitated at first when he saw the beautiful elf let him pass, but then Yass Langley smiled, and the boy felt his head foggy, and involuntarily walked over.
Walking up to the saint, Rhodes's left hand was grasped, "O humble man, please show me your covenant." The elf's hand was cold, and the grip was tight, and Rhodes could feel the touch of Yass Langley's fingers, but this cold feeling was really not good, even the magic puppet was stronger than her.
"Two?" the elf frowned at Rhodes, "Kid, is that goblin telling the truth?"
"It's... It's true," Rhodes spoke, only to find himself stammering, "another... It's okay..."
"Tell the truth, kid..."The elf put his hand on his face "to tell the truth. β
A cold and piercing feeling spread throughout the body, if the coldness of his hands just now was the degree of the cold earth he had felt before he fell unconscious, then now Rhodes' whole body is like being locked in an ice cellar, Rhodes wants to break free but can't, the pain drains all his strength, he can only kneel on the ground weakly, supported by the elf's hand "I..." Countless memories reappeared in his mind despite his objections, his brain could not function, his past kept reappearing, but he could not understand these scenes and could not distinguish those characters, these memories were undoubtedly his own, but he felt that he could not see or touch them clearly through a layer of curtains, so he could only let the tears continue to drip down, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he could only make a whimpering sound and couldn't say a word.
"Don't do this to Rod!" A pair of hands pulled Rhodes back from the endless memories, it was a pair of warm hands, Lott pulled Rhodes back, out of the elf's grasp, "I know everything you have to ask, don't torture him anymore." Leaving the elven hand, Rhodes relaxed, but then his consciousness began to blur, and finally he passed out completely.
"According to the goblin, you didn't sign a contract, kid," the elf turned his attention to Lot, "why are you still here?" The elf's smile caressed Lot's heart like a spell.
"I... It has to be here..."Lott frowned, feeling that his body was out of control, and he suddenly felt the urge to tell everything he knew, "That geis is a contract about Rod's surname, and it won't affect the contract of Darkskin." β
"Last name?" Yass Langli repeated Lot's words, she looked at Rod more closely, and finally her gaze stopped on Rode's sword, she got up and walked over to them, "What is this? Can you show me?" she held out her hand to Lot.
Lott wanted to refuse, but the psychedelic vertigo made him unable to control himself at all, and he leaned over and untied the sword that Rod was hanging from his waist, "Ma'am, please..."
Grabbing the sword, the elf scabbed it closely.
"This coat of arms...."Yass Langli saw the coat of arms on the sword body and pondered for a while, then looked at Rhodes again, she wanted to pull out the sword, but found that the sword could not be drawn.
So Yass Langley held the scabbard in both hands and began to chant loudly, "O Shining Sword, Yass Langley Morningstar is here to humbly implore you to show you the glory of the past." β
When the chanting was over, the sword opened, and a dazzling white light filled the room.
"Mithril?" said the warrior with the axe struggling to open his eyes, "this unsightly light is too exaggerated. β
"Although it is true that Mithril was cast," Yass Langley inserted the sword back into the scabbard, but this light was not due to Mithril, but the relationship between the sword itself. None of the knights' Mithril weapons glowed. Yass Langley handed the sword to Lot, "Give it back to Rod"
Lot quickly took the sword and tied it back to Rod's waist, his hands shaking, and he didn't know why his head was a mess now.
"Took his last name...."The elf tried to pronounce Rod's name, and found that his tongue was indeed met with resistance, "Okay then." The elf nodded, and she approached the two boys with her hands outstretched.
"What are you going to do?" Lott was trembling in panic, but Yass Langley hugged the two boys with a smile on her face.
Unlike the biting cold just now, this hug was as warm as the spring sun, which was normal body temperature, and the two boys felt extremely comfortable in this warmth, and it took a minute for Yass Langley to let go of them.
"Every time I see the interrogation of the church, even I feel scared. The black-robed man looked at Yass Lang Li who returned to his seat and commented.
"I also want to be hugged by Miss Yass Lanley, even if I fall into the biting ice cellar, it doesn't matter" The man holding the staff had a very envious expression, he was holding a staff inlaid with blue gems in his hand, and his face was rubbing against the top of the staff repeatedly, and his behavior looked very strange. However, the people around him seemed to be very used to the way he looked, and did not react to it.
"What's going on?" Rhodes woke up in a trance, he looked at the female elf who had returned to his seat, the pain and warmth just now had come too quickly, and he was completely confused.
"I'm sorry, but the chill you felt just now is a kind of interrogation word, which may be a bit unbearable for your age, but I must know all the information about Geis. The elf said to them apologetically, "But it's also a small punishment for you signing a geis." She turned her head to look at Modrella, "Please get them two something to eat, preferably a hot cup of coffee."
"Okay," Mosela put the two of them in place, then took two cakes from the cabinet on one side, "Do you want to add sugar to the coffee?"
"Ah, I haven't drunk coffee yet, I don't know how much to add..."Lott was a little embarrassed, he had never drunk anything so high-class in his wandering days.
"If you haven't drunk it, I recommend two large spoonfuls. Jasmine winked playfully, and in a few moments the coffee was ready, the coffee was served with cake, and the two boys ate happily.
Yass Langley's expression relaxed when she saw the two boys start eating, she smiled at Modrella, and then turned her head to look at Darkskin, "Come here, Darkskin." β
