DUNGEON CREATOR
Sora POV
Ch,21
“You’re talking to me?”
Sora asked when she saw a young man in his 30's walked up to her.
“You’re Elris right?”
“Yeah…. Why?”
Sora hesitatingly answered the man who’s come out of the bar.
“Ah, Sorry. Excuse my rudeness, I’m Ronald the guild master.”
Ronald introduced himself to Sora. Not sure of what the main said, Sora decided to ask the receptionist.
“Is he really the guild master?”
“Yes madam, he’s the guild master.”
Ronald faking his voice to sound surprised and ask Sora.
“You don’t believe me madam?”
“Sorry, it’s just that….”
“That breaks my heart.”
Ronald joke to Sora with a disheartened voice.
“Isn’t the guild master usually an old man?”
Feeling guilt Sora gave him her reason.
“Hahaha, where do you heard those sto−”
Remembered how stubborn the other guild master in the annual meeting, Ronald gave his opinion to Sora.
“Yeah, you’re right lady they’re just a bunch of intolerable old man.”
Confused because of the sudden change Sora asked the guild master of his intention.
“Do you need something from me?”
“Yeah right, the Baron asked me to invite you to his mansion.”
“The Baron?”
“Yeah, you remember about the big buffy man that harassing you this morning?”
“Yeah, I remember, what’s it got to do with the Baron?”
“The man you kicked is a B-rank adventurer, and when he heard the story he asked him to call you to his mansion.”
“But since the man is wasted over there, I decide to ask you instead.”
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Ronald says so while pointing towards the man sleeping on the table inside the bar.
“Did I break any law? I did that in order to defend myself you know.”
“Hahaha, relax lady, he won’t arrest you, and if he did I’m the one who’s going to kick his ass.”
“I don’t know where the Baron mansion is, and I’m not familiar with this town.”
Sora makes some excuse to refuse the invitation.
“You just need to show up here in the morning after breakfast, I’ll guide you there.”
After some excuse here and there Sora finally give up arguing with the guild master and willing to go to the Baron mansion the next morning, after a little chat the guild master leave to the room behind the counter and Sora proceed with her original goal.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes madam?”
“Can I have my adventurer card?”
“Sure madam, its Elris right?”
“Yeah…. You shouldn’t eavesdrop on people you know.”
“Well, both of you are talking in front of me, there’s no helping it.”
The female receptionist indifferently answered Sora and gave Sora her adventurer card. Since its night time there’s not much people in the guild, there’s only 4 people in the bar, and there one other guild staff who’s posting a request or taking it off due to the time limit.
The card she received from the receptionist is a made of silver as big as an ATM card with her name and rank on it, curious about request that been posted on the board she decide to look at them.
“Evening madam.”
“Good evening.”
Sora gives her greeting back to the staff who greets her when she approaches A-rank board.
“The request for F-rank is over there madam.”
The man pointed towards the left to the board with huge F letter on it.
“It’s okay, I’m just looking around.”
After she give her reply the staff continued to post the request on the board when Sora see something interesting being posted on the board, the requester in one of many request poster posted on the board is stated as Baron Ashford. Curious about the content of the request she asked the staff.
“What’s this War Volunteer request?”
“Hmm… ah that, that would be posted when the lord of a city requested the adventurer guild to deal with huge army of monsters.”
“Hoo… so is there huge army of monsters near here?”
Feigning ignorance she asked the staff for more details to know how far the Baron has prepared to deal with the army she sent.
“Didn’t you hear madam?”
“They say that there’s an army of undead heading here.”
“I heard about that this morning, but why the Baron needed to call the adventurer as well?”
“Isn’t the soldiers enough to deal with them? I saw there are a lot of them in the eastern gate this morning.”
“I don’t know, maybe the Baron is just being cautious.”
“Is that so….. So is this request only posted for A-rank?”
“No, they’ve been posted all the way down to the D-rank.”
After exchange a little chat a bit more Sora finished her sightseeing on the request board. And head back to her inn.
When the morning came Sora ordered breakfast in the restaurant of the inn and head back to the guild to meet with the guild master. Surprised because of the amount of the people in the guild when she open the door, smile crept on her face when she think ‘I could use this as an excuse I just need to tell Ronald that the guild is too crowded so I can’t meet him on the second floor.’ When suddenly all of the adventurers is staring at her, and a moment later they start to shout.
“Do you need a guide madam, I could show you around the city.”
“No madam, hire me, I know a very good place.”
“No ma’am, me, hire me, I’ve been living here for all my life I know every nook and cranny.”
Bit by bit the shout start to attract the surrounding and someone shout from the very back of the room.
“WHAT THE HECK IS THIS RUCKUS EARLY IN THE MORNING.”
It was the guild master, he get to the main hall from his room in the second building after hearing ruckus from below. Hearing the guild master voice, all the adventurer shut their mouth and looked back to make sure that it was the guild master. A moment later Ronald noticed that Sora is the cause of the ruckus and walk to her.
“You came.”
“Yeah…..”
“I thought you’re not going to show up after making all those excuses.”
“…”
“And what did you do this time to make ruckus early in the morning?”
“I have no idea.”
“Anyway let’s go.”
“Huh…? You’re not going to make preparation?”
“What for?”
“He’s just a Baron not King.”
Both of them leave the guild and head to the north towards the Baron mansion. As they walking down the road Sora noticed something.
“There are a lot of soldiers running around.”
“Yeah, they’re making for preparation for today, we predicted that the undead will arrived at noon or night at the latest.”
“Have you already confirmed how strong they are?”
“They’re around one thousand strong, but there’s more to worry about their appearance than their number.”
“You mean?”
“The scout said that they’re using a brand new polished weapon and armor, that’s strange because usually the undead is come from a corpse of something, and they used whatever they found, so it’s very strange to have undead fully equipped with new equipment.”
“Hmm….”
“That must be related to why they don’t have miasma.”
“Miasma?”
“Yeah, undead can’t move with that, but they’re marching just fine.”
Confused because Sora didn’t know about what miasma is, she decide to keep it to herself since this time she’s been accompanied by the guild master, she feel it would look suspicious if she asked what miasma is. After asking more information about preparation the Baron prepared with the guild master they finally arrived at the mansion.
