-Silas POV-
It had been six months after the slime thing. It had been a over all peaceful trip. In the distance was a kingdom call Tarrion. These people build the kingdom on top of a labyrinth. Look like this will be our base for some time. We arrive at the gate just as the sun each midday.
A few hours later we were still waiting in the line. We change out of our fighting gear as we wait in this line. There were man that were staring at Karl. She didn't care I don't know if it cause she's naive or see them as bugs. It was our turn as we ride up. A knight in sliver with this kingdom's family crest on it was standing at the gate. He look at us with a questionable look. He's professional enough to not not stare at Karl breast.
"Can I see your papers" (Knight)
I give the the man my Adventurer's ID. He look it over to see if it was a fake or not. He handed it back to me then look at Karl.
"And the papers for the miss" (Knight)
"She's a Tame Beast so she count like a pet or a slave right?" (Silas)
"Sir, slavery is these lands is illegal to all except royals from another land brings one and I can't see how she is a bellua" (Knight)
"Transformation or the symbol which will serve as proof" (Silas)
"Just the symbol you don't have to scare the local" (Knight)
Karl lift up her sweater a little past her bra then her pants went little way little to show off the top of her pantie to show off the symbol. The other knights and those around us had bloodly noses. The knight in front of us was red face but stay calm better then the ohers. He put the paper over the crest to made a magic imprint on to the paper. Karl was being a good girl at this time then she fix her clothes.
"Good everything are in order. Here keep this with you til you get to the Guild. There you need to get a tag for your 'pet'." (Silas)
"Thank you mister." (Knight)
That was luckly if I lie most likely a misunderstanding would happen and we willn't have a place to stay. We rode past the gate and walk down the road. There were a lot of outdoor shops near the gate then start turning into proper buildings. If anyone look at our clothess they will be plain but an expert in crift will see the old materials that were use to make this.
We made it to the Adventurer's Guild. It was a four floor buildings. It was modle the same way the one at home was. The one in the center is the poster person of the guild that person job is to welcome noobies and set up metting for the guild master. Since I'm not a noobie or guild master I went to the one that look the most bored. This receptionist was a girl around my age and Tianxia human like myself. Her name was Lulu she was bewilder to see me.
"Hello there kid my name is Lulu you look new are you sure have the right desk" (Lulu)
"By the looks we are of the same age. I maybe new to this town but I'm a Stone rank Adventurer. I pick your desk for the fun of it. I need to register to this guild then I need a tags for three Tame Beasts" (Silas)
"Ha~ha, Here the paperwork for the tags and I need your ID to register you. Plus I'm 19 so no with the age" (Lulu)
"You must be hassle by Lolicons. Here the ID and I take the paperwork." (Silas)
"I haven't met any yet. Miss do you need anything for me to help you with?" (Lulu)
"She doesn't. she the Tame Beast you need proof" (Silas)
"It's okay I had seen some stranger things here." (Lulu)
I hand her the paperwork back. Lulu was working behind the desk with the ID then took the paperwork.
"Let see Karl, Species..Moon Vampire...Seventh Rank pretty stong one. Two mix element. What's a Peregrinus? Then there the Mad & Cure Horses" (Lulu)
"Is everything in order?" (Silas)
"Oh, yes it is here the tag. You just need a drop of their blood to activate it" (Lulu)
Karl bite her thumb then grab her tag I handed to her. She put the tag on her collar. Her info was crave into the tag and my family's crest was on the back.
"Sir, are you going to take a request or enter the labyrinth" (Lulu)
"Not right now. We need to find a inn and stop at an auction house" (Silas)
"You want top coin for your rare items. Just remember to sell your materials to the guild. We need the funding to keep going." (Lulu)
"I was going too" (Silas)
After this Lulu give the location of a inn and the top rank auction house in the kingdom. So we left the Guild for the auction house. It was in the center of the kingdom. The building was a massive theater with fancy designs everywhere. We were lead to into a private room waiting for the agent.
A man walkin he was in a suit of the echota human like Karl just with orange hair and a curly mustache. He sit down on the coach infront of us. He a business man through and through.
"So Mr. and Mrs. Adventurer how can I help you" (The Gentleman)
"We like to put somethings on auction. Karl please" (Silas)
Karl took out a bag with hundred rings. All these rings are call storing rings they have 100 slots. This clear out only less then 1% of my vault. 10 of the rings was full with Museum Quality Art. 5 rings were copys that I made of my manga collection. 25 rings were full of ancient lost technology. 40 rings were fulled with the weaker items in my armory. The last 20 had only knick knacks found here and there.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
As the man examine the items inside each ring his face went paler and paler. As he finsh his look was that of a dead person.
"Mister are you really going to give these things out." (The Gentleman)
"Yes I am. We are willing to go with 30% of the profit made with each item. We also like you to keep us a secret. Do we have a deal" (Silas)
"I agree, you aren't that greedy for being adventurer. All clients information is seal to keep back auctions from happing. I will like you to full these paperwork out. Here this is the auction house's card just show this at the front desk after the auction to received a payment. If you like to sell off more items just show the card and ask for my name. It Griff" (Griff)
"Mine is Silas and she is Karl. We will be in your care in the future" (Silas)
I give him back the paperwork then shock his hand. The auction will be in two months so we have time to kill. We left the auction house now time to find a inn. We found a nice inn that had a group hot bath. It also have a cafe that serve meals. This inn was made for traveling adventurer. The room we got was a double bed. The room itself was plain. It cost 19 Iron coins a night.
The owner is a marry couple the woman is a chef and the man is the handyman. I can't say what they look like cause I haven't seen them. They hired those down on their luck living in the slums. This is good nature of them but some of the hires can get them in trouble with the law.
The man that was cleaning the hallway had a sin mark for greed. Sin Mark are titles give by the gods to their rotten childern. A sin are just Wicked Acts people do with in their life. To gain a mark you be need to do this acts in abundance. The act of dislike become a [The Mark of Resentment] that is place on the left eyelid that is a rune for Envy. The act of neglect become a [The Mark of Acedia] that is place on the right eyelid that is a rune for Sloth. The act of deception become a [The Mark of Treacherous] that is place on the tongue that is a rune for Chicanery. The act of ego become a [The Mark of Hubris] that is place on the heart that is a rune for Pride. The act of gorge become a [The Mark of Ravenous] that is place on the stomach that is a rune for Gluttony. The act of sex become a [The Mark of Lechery] that is place on the genitals that is a rune for Lust. The act of violence become a [The Mark of Furious] that is place on the right hand that is a rune for Wrath. And the act of hoard become a [The Mark of the Avarice] that is place on the left hand that is a rune for Cupidity.
As I talk to him he open up after I told him I was the Villain. I found out he have a connection to the dark market. It was a workshop on the border of the slums. The guy there then send my back to the same auction house with a card. I show the card to the guy in front. I want back to the same private room waiting for the agent. That turn out to be Griff.
"Silas what are you doing here." (Griff)
"Apparently you run a dark auction here as well. This is awkward here a bag of more Illegal or dangerous stuff I was going to put on auction." (Silas)
"Thanks the same deal as the other one." (Griff)
"That will make things go easier" (Silas)
"Agree" (Griff)
So I fulled out the paperwork to finsh stuff here. I return to the room where Karl was waiting for me. She been a good girl all day. I just wanted her to stay silent so no misunderstanding from happen.
"You may speak now Karl" (Silas)
"Finally I can talk. This morning you told me to stay quiet. It was hard with all those pest scaring at me. So are we going to enter the labyrinth in the morning" (Karl)
"Not right away I like to do some request first to raise my rank." (Silas)
"Un" (Karl)
"I'm worn out let get a bath, something to eat, then bed" (Silas)
"I agree Silas-sama" (Karl)
So we did that everything was peaceful. Karl didn't use her bed and sleep with me. I doze off little after Karl did.
-A knight POV-
Today was like everyother day as the gate guard. There was one group that stood out a young boy and a woman. The woman turn out to be a Tame Beast. So like all other I had to see the seal. It was a shock when she pull up her sweater alittle past her bra then her pants went little way little to show off the top of her pantie.
Yea it was a Beast they don't have any shame. It was my first time dealing with a human looking one that was also sexy. I keep my cool unlike the other guards. When I saw the seal, it was a family crest of royalty. So I imprint so I can report to my superiors later.
So that is where I'm here now. My superior was looking for the crest so we know where they came from.
"Found it the Eberspacher family. Their kingdom fell at the time when Demon Lord rule earth. Family crest stay in the blood long after the kingdom of their ancestors' kingdom fell. This guy have all the rights as an royal. He could even marry a princess if he want" (Boss)
"The guy name was Silas so the full name is Silas Eberspacher" (Knight)
"Silas Eberspacher is from a fallen kingdom he may not known about. Best not to say anything. We will keep a eye on him and tell the king when needed. Boris your new job is to keep tabs on him." (Boss)
This is how I went from guard to spy.
-Lulu POV-
I was taken a nap cause no one come to my desk. Why would they when there pretty Onee-chans at other desk. Even the women adventurer choose the handsome men's desk over mine. Even on busy days they choose the others. Then a boy walk to my desk and there was a woman behind him.
This guy confuse me for being ten. I confuse him to being a lost clueless kid so we are even. Then he was worry about a term 'Lolicons' was hassle. If I remember that is a term use for older guy liking little girls. I then was bewilder that the woman behind him was a Tame Beast. I seen many thinking but this was my first human form spawn.
When I look at the paperwork she was a seventh rank that why. My knowledge hadn't on what a Peregrinus is. I give the woman the tag and she put it on while looking happy. I wonder if she can talk at all cause she haven't say one word. I told them were the top auction house and the favorite inn for adventurers.
When they were gone I turn in the paperwork to the top receptionist. She was scaning it for any errors. The boys name was Silas he became an adventurer in Kuravilla, Oraltill. It was his grandfather who train and sign him up. He became a Copper adventurer after defeading a Demon Lord's ex'Follower. If he see only me a few more times I become his peronally receptionist. That mean a pay raise and if he gain ranks I can be sent to the second floor. Not just me all receptionist do this well next time.
-Griff POV-
I was heading to a metting with an adventurer. Adventurers come here to make the large amount of coins. They were all greedy, fame seekers. This was the top auction house that sell to nobles and royals. So our standards were higher then any common auction house. So a lot of time fail to make the requirements.
When I enter the room there was a kid and woman. The kid did all the talking the woman throw a bag on the table. The bag was full of storing rings. I had a ring that allow to see what inside without letting it out. The other ring was a high grade Appraiser's ring. All of them was fulled with things lost during the Demon Lord's took over.
Artwork of the ages, technology from myth, gear that make a nations best craftsman to shame, and other play items that I don't understand. The weirdest were books full with drawing call Manga. He just want 30% of the profit and not to be known. It's against my idea and the norm of what an adventurer.
I what to keep contact with this fellow. So I give him a VIP card it will be a great business venture with this kid even if he never show up aging. This auction have to be grand so I had the other agent to get a simple and get the word out to the other nearby kingdoms. I will be super busy for the next two weeks. Silas return later to put stuff on the dark auction it sad to see a kid mix up with the darkside of the world but business is business.
