On the morning of the third day of Williams' expulsion from Oberiske, Howard, who had been his deputy and close friend during the guild activities, arrived at the office of President Richard Alphonse after three days of deliberation and consultation with like-minded people.

He had come to Richard for the sole purpose of submitting a request to leave, and he was not alone, but a full list.

After carefully reading the list, recalling the voices, smiles, and related deeds of each of them against the name, Richard slowly spoke.

"The reason is that you are unhappy with my decision to expel Williams?"

"Yes. Howard nodded solemnly with a serious expression, "However, I must say that this is our own problem, and not the president's problem. We also heard your speech three days ago, President. As the leader of a meeting, as a person with great prestige among the players and taking the lead in handling several major matters, the decision you made was reasonable. It can only be said that even so, we still can't accept it. ”

"For justice?"

"Yes!" said Howard, "it is true that Williams was consumed by his personal hatred in that moment of that night, but what is wrong with that! People are not saints, and even saints will hate when they see their loved ones being killed in front of their eyes! Evil will eventually be destroyed, and the wicked will be punished, isn't this justice! Therefore, we still feel that Williams did nothing wrong, and his expulsion is unreasonable!"

"I see. There is no room for reconciliation in the conflict of wills. Now that you have decided, I can only say that I respect your will, and that you are free to come and go here. ”

Saying that, Williams exercised the authority of the guild leader, unfolded the list of guild members, and checked off the companions one by one against the list submitted by Howard. Then, he hesitated, but landed on the green circle of "OK".

We regret to inform you that you have been dismissed from the guild "Oberiske".

Watching the system prompt unfold and close before his eyes, Howard bowed deeply to Williams behind his desk.

"Thank you for taking care of President Richard so far! And, I'm sorry. ”

The words were closed, and Howard left without any more nostalgia. His heavy heart was gradually relieved during the journey from the top floor back to the front hall of the hall, and turned into planning and enthusiasm for the future.

About eleven or twelve of all those who decided to follow Howard were waiting in the antechamber of the guild hall, and they immediately greeted Howard as they saw him coming down the stairs.

The system's notification was immediate, and they already knew that they had exited "Oberiske", and at the same time they felt confused about the road ahead.

"Howard, what do we do next?"

"Guys, we should continue to carry on Williams' will to continue to promote justice among the players in this city. ”

Hearing Howard's words, everyone nodded.

"But the question is, how?"

"I have some clue about this, so let's get a look at the garrison fortress first. ”

When the words were closed, Howard was the first to take a step, and the others followed.

In the bar-style guild hall lobby were not only Howard and the others who were leaving, but also other guild members.

Three or four men and women gathered at a table and looked at the front hall, which suddenly became empty, and couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in their hearts, and they all raised their heads and cast their eyes upward.

In the office on the top floor, Richard stood somewhat depressed in front of the window looking down on the departing Howard and his party, and then muttered in his mouth.

"Justice is good. But justice does not equal order. ”

"Knock knock. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. With that, Richard turned to the door.

The lock was lifted in response, and the knocker entered, unexpectedly Bordeaux Lonsminster.

After entering the house and closing the door, Bordeaux looked up at Richard and smiled bitterly.

"Along the way, it's a lot cleaner. ”

"yes. Richard nodded with the same wry smile as he mentally calculated an account.

Soon after Hughes Adolphus left two months ago, he planned to set up a guild that would teach combat techniques and knowledge similar to that of a school, so four or five people left one after another.

A month earlier, Lomaria had taken a headless leave to go to the "institute", which could be regarded as a de facto separation, and five or six more admirers followed her.

These two times have already lost the number of people in the two squads. This time, because of Williams's affairs, more than a dozen people quit in one breath led by Howard, and now the remaining personnel of "Oberiske" are only nearly twenty nods, where can it be called one of the "four major guilds".

Moreover, the departure of Hughes, Lomaria, and Williams, the three veterans who founded the guild, had a far stronger impact on morale than simple attrition. Richard could feel the intense frustration from the remaining members this morning.

Thinking so, Richard suddenly realized something.

"Speaking of which, Bordeaux, you said before that sooner or later you would leave when the workshop was stable. Why don't you just take advantage of this opportunity......"

"Nope. Bordeaux interrupted Richard, "I've changed my mind about this. Although I am known as one of the five merchants of Early Leaf City, my 'Lonsminster Workshop' is actually just a relatively large storefront, not a business guild. So, I thought, even if I stay, why not?"

"You're going to stay!" exclaimed Richard in surprise.

"yes. Bordeaux curled the corners of his mouth, "Several of them are gone, don't you think it's a good time for me to take the opportunity to become vice president?"

"Aha. Richard let out a hearty laugh, walked up to Bordeaux in a few steps, and reached out to pat the other party's shoulder, "So, are you the prospective vice president interested in accompanying me on a trip?"

"The four guilds? ”

"It's not fast. If it weren't for the fact that Rex hadn't returned from an expedition, they would have called me three days ago to explain the situation?"

"It's like a clerk meeting his boss. I always thought you were the one who had the initiative. ”

"That's a good point. So, we can't show weakness. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"The best way to do that is to hold an expedition. And if you want to gnaw the hardest bones, go to a team dungeon that no one has yet to test the waters, the new 'Dragon's Roar Cave' in the northern mountains of Rosfilia. ”

"Just open up the wasteland in the current state!" Bordeaux was shocked, "let's not talk about the personnel." The current mage group, archer group, melee group, and support group are all in a state of leaderlessness!"

"So what?" said Richard, smiling nonchalantly, "the other day, when nothing happened, when I was chatting with my brother, he mentioned a few words about the Chinese Zhou Yi. What I said back then happened to be said now. ”

"What?"

"The dragons have no leader, and the world is lucky. ”
