chapter 18
After the lord’s meeting, vicious rumors circulated in Trogen. It was a story about how their lord bowed his head to other lords because of the adventurers’ misbehavior.
“The lord bowed his head because we made a mistake. Let’s do well in the future. But on the other hand, you might think that the lord bowed his head, what kind of shame is this?”
Edward, a tired-looking man who was in charge of the temporary guild leader of the fledgling adventurer’s guild, stopped his pen. He muttered without raising his head.
“I purposely spread rumors to pick out such scum. Rotten places are troublesome if you don’t get rid of them. Trogen is a new ark city, so there are many criminals and scoundrels expelled from other cities. You have to knock them all out.”
Not afraid to speak harsh words, he lowered his pen and raised his bloodshot eyes.
“So what’s the trail’s famous leader Jiaren Luo doing?”
“Oh, sell this kid to me.”
Where the guild leader turned his head, there stood an automaton with a white mask and scattered blond hair. The guild leader let out a long sigh and firmly refused.
“It’s not possible.”
Cheolguk!
A leather bag was put on the table.
“Thirty million Leeds. That’s the amount you can buy a new automaton.”
The guild leader, who was scratching his head with a pen, closed his eyes and shook his head.
“This is not a problem that can be solved with money. I heard that the automaton called Green threatened adventurers. It doesn’t mean that the ego is high. You must also have a lot of experience. I intend to appoint Greene as Trogen’s interim guard.”
“Come on. Are you the captain of the guard? An automaton?”
“temporary! Humans can bribe or intimidate, but automatons cannot. Even in pioneer villages, there are many places where an automaton that can stand in the middle is used as a sheriff.”
Jia Ren smiled and turned his head.
“Green, you say you’re the captain of the guard?”
Green was speechless. I just stood still and waited for a decision.
“If you work hard for three years, this will become a pretty good city. Thanks to you, we also have a bronze door that can be used as a portal gate. We need to make this place habitable as soon as possible.”
Jiaren bent down a little and looked down at the guild hall.
“I like that aspiration. So let’s do this. If there is something to dispose of that child, you will contact me first, and I will send you support in the form of a business trip if requested at any time.
“We will consider the priority of requests depending on the circumstances. If you still like it.”
“great.”
Jiaren, who took the money bag back, stepped aside and beckoned. Green approached the trail’s guild leader. Edward, who was sitting at his desk looking up at Green, said.
“It is well decorated. Who repaired it?”
“Argon’s adventurer, Krank. He’s not a professional meister, but he’s a bit dexterous on this side.”
Jiaren, who turned his head away from the guild leader writing down his name, tapped Green on the shoulder.
“You will shine here more than me. Then do your best, call me whenever you need me.”
“thank you. Jiaren Luo, I will not forget you.”
Jiaren Luo smiled and left the office.
“I am Edward, the temporary adventurer guild leader of the trail. I can get permission from the lord later, and I appoint you as the temporary head of the guard.”
“Where is the senior guard captain? I will have to take over.”
As I listened to and learned during my military days, Edward’s eyes shone as he rested, postured, and asked questions.
The party that had been waiting for Jiaren Luo came outside.
“uh? What about greens?”
“It’s a bit rushed here. So I just applied saliva and came. Need a city tour?”
“no. It’s a new place, so there’s not much to see. stop going home If you have that, you can come anytime, right?”
At the place where they turned their heads, there was a bronze door they had climbed through.
“ruler! withdrawal! Let’s all go home! Trogen Adventurers Guild, we are leaving!”
“Yeah, get off!”
“Never come back!”
Jiaren Luo smiled and waved at the verbal abuse around her, but her party and the automatons all made terrifying expressions and silenced the adventurers in the guild.
mate!
When the palms collided, the adventurers occupying the hall of the adventurer’s guild building stood up. At the same time, the automatons standing on the wall also moved. Each one was uniquely decorated, and adventurers as well as villagers were watching with curious eyes.
Everyone followed Jiaren, who was leading the way.
When I left the building, the hard-skin automatons standing guard around the entrance moved.
“wow! song?! Are you going?!”
“When are you coming again?”
At the voices of the children, Jia Ren grinned and waved.
“okay! But don’t worry! I’ll be back soon!”
Oranda, a large party belonging to the Trail Adventurers Guild, left Trogen like that.
And after a while, someone came to Fluid, who was busy working in uniform at the Argon Merchants Guild, handling office work, responding to customers, and checking inventory.
“Fluid! It’s a guest! looking for you?”
“me?”
While squatting in the warehouse checking the inventory of products, she quickly dusted off her clothes and ran to see people who had never seen her before.
“Are you Fluid?”
“yes?”
“Really. It’s blonde.”
Seeing the tall men whispering, the manager ran over and greeted them.
“What, what are you doing?”
But with his eyes, he dripped fluid and said with his eyes.
What an accident!
I do not know!
“No, I only stopped by briefly on the way. let’s go.”
“yes.”
Everyone just went back.
Fluid and the chief made faces of bewilderment. Surprisingly, similar things happened several times. It was from a security guard who came two days later that she learned of the assignment.
“Are you a fluid?”
“Ah, yes. What else? this blonde is real Stop asking.”
The security guard gave an expression of disapproval, then opened his mouth.
“I have come to protect you with an official request from the Ark City, Trogen.”
“yes?! uh, what’s going on?! Why have you been like this for the past few days? I didn’t do anything!”
The guard said as he imprinted her on the guard automaton that came with him.
“I heard that people who are dissatisfied with the performance of the newly appointed chief of the guards in Trogen might retaliate against you. This is the request of the captain of the guard.”
“Wait, the captain of the guard?”
The guard turned around and smiled as he glanced at Fluid’s blonde hair.
“Trogen Temporary Guard Captain, Blonde Judgment Green, is quite famous right now. That must have been your hair.”
Fluid passed out.
