The next day…
"Zul."
"Team Leader? Is there anything?" She walked into the office and was on her way to her desk when she was stopped by her orc boss.
It was a male Dogman. He had an apologetic expression as he said,""The guild leader is calling for you.”
“!”Upon hearing her superior's instructions, Aina froze on the spot. Beside her, Mysia also revealed a sympathetic smile.
"Did I do anything wrong?" Aena thought as she held her glasses down.
"... I'm sorry." Aina knocked on the thick wooden door on the highest floor of the guild headquarters. After hearing a gruff " come in," Aina opened the double doors and walked into the room.
The entire wall was occupied by a huge bookshelf, and the room was quite spacious. Including luxurious carpets, jars, paintings, velvet couches, alabaster magic stone lamps, etc., there were all kinds of extravagant items and furniture everywhere. Even among the many luxurious Heavenly Gods living in O'Leary, there were probably only a few rooms that could compare to this room.
Aina bowed and walked to the center of the room, nervously approaching the owner. Behind a huge desk piled with stacks of documents, the figure sat on a luxurious chair.
"Too slow, Aina? Zul." The man looked up from his desk, his green eyes glaring at Aina.
Even though she was wearing a suit of better quality than the average employee, her belly fat that could make a sound at any time forced her clothes open. He used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his loose chin several times. Some short white hair grew out of his receding hairline and swayed non-stop. Even his pointy ears seemed to have drooped a little.
Although he wasn't short, his sideways development made him look unnecessarily short. His fat legs were also thick and short.
He was very different from the kind of delicate elf that ordinary people could imagine.
He was as fat as a pig (orc). His arms and legs were thick and short, and his jaw was loose. Paired with a set of high-quality clothes, he looked like a wealthy merchant of a generation.
This was Guild Leader Leuman? Madier. He had the final say in the city's management and was the person with the highest authority in the guild.
"How many minutes do you think it has been since I called you? You actually dared to make me wait. Very impressive.”
" I'm very sorry…" Aina did not say much and only apologized after a verbal attack.
As a long-lived race like the elves, Loyman had served in the guild for more than a century and had been a senior official of the organization more than ten years ago. At the age of 150, he had the final say in the city's operations. At the same time, because he had been in this position for many years, he could travel and live in luxury.
Leuman Madier was despised by all the elves in E'Leary.
He had forgotten about his race's pride and restraint, shamelessness, and indulgence in money. He had even become fat and ugly. Many people called him a 'guild pig' and despised him. Even Lavilia had scolded him harshly, saying that he was the shame of his race.
Perhaps it was also because he was hated by others, coupled with the unique tendency of the ruler, even when facing the fairies who had a high sense of companionship within their race, Leuchman would still put on an arrogant and disrespectful attitude. He would only bow down to the gods who had a particularly high status in O'Leary. Besides, Aina was a half-elf.
Aina was not good at dealing with Leuman. There were probably not many employees in the entire guild who were good at dealing with him, or who did not dislike him.
However, although he spent money like water when he was having fun, he was very capable at work. Having served in the guild for more than a century wasn't something to put on a show. Even though his desires often dragged down the people around him, on the whole, Leuman had indeed contributed to the operation of the guild.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gain the support of others, let alone obtain the permission of the guild's True Master to become an officer.
Although he was arrogant, he did have the right to be arrogant. Therefore, although the understanding Aina did not have a good impression of him, she did not hate him either. At most, she pitied him.
"Forget it…Let's get down to business." the guild leader said as he wiped his face with a cloth.
"You seemed to have acted as a consultant for a white-haired new adventurer yesterday, right? Give this to him.”
"Eh?" Seeing that it was a white letter, Aina was greatly surprised.
It was sealed with guild wax and looked like some kind of notice.
"Let me tell you first, this is a mandatory mission.”
“!”In an instant, Aina's eyes widened.
Why would a new adventurer be given a mandatory mission? The mandatory quest was an absolute order issued by the guild. All the spawns and adventurers under O'Leary had to obey this order.
Why would that child accept such a mission? Aina could not understand.
"And it's top secret, so you can't let anyone else know. Please be careful when handing it over. I don't need to tell you, so don't ask.”
Ignoring Aina's astonishment, Leuman sat on the chair arrogantly and said,""Listen up. You must give it to them.”
"Guild Leader! This is, the higher-ups…"
"You don't need to know. Go! I'm very busy." Leuman rejected her immediately, not allowing her to continue asking.
" A top-secret mandatory mission…How could this be? Why…Is this the order of the higher-ups? He was also following orders…'Could it be…
Aina felt her heart swell with speculation. She thought of someone who was even more noble than the higher-ups, the ruler of the top of the guild.
In a place that he did not know of, there were some movements.
Aina had such a feeling along with an ominous inner turmoil.
