Adventurer guild — It's an organization formed 800 years ago and has been active since then. It's a place where people from different occupation come and go, doing a quest that's requested by the citizen or the guild and claim reward money.
12 people form Adventurer Guild and get called with the title Guild leader. And as generation go, these titles will get passed down to an adventurer who will inherit them and then passed to the next.
The races of these Guild Leader varied from each other, and so are their lifespan. Many Guild Leaders has died and passed down the helm to next generation, but there's also Guild Leader who hasn't died in these span of 800 years and still handled the organization with care while reminiscing his or her time when they're still with their past comrades.
There's 2 Guild Leader that haven't died yet ever since 800 years ago, namely Mellivess the Elder Lich and Farah Sveriah Laurel the Holy Dragon Lord. Both of them has unknowingly turned into the true leader of adventurer guild and has long gained respect from all of the other Guild Leaders because they're the main reason that Adventurer Guild still stands and exist on this land even after 800 years.
The other Guild Leaders besides the two of them are a former adventurer who's entrusted by the previous Guild Leader, while some are the descendant of the Guild Leader who formed Adventurer Guild together with Mellivess and Farah. Although they're the descendant of their friends, Mellivess and Farah never give them any preferential as they need to reach the necessary requirement to become a Guild Leader.
People have long forgotten the real reason for adventurer guilds existence, except for the twelve guild leader.
Many people in the past know about it, even so, because of the gag order issued to those people, the exact reason of adventurer guild got forgotten and it soon turns into a place where people can make a request on as long as they have money.
No matter what the nations is, no matter how much they hate demi-human, undead, or human. All of them accept adventurer guild with open arms, especially when they heard a nation got destroyed by beast because they have accidentally destroy the ecosystem of the forest, which make every nation accept adventurer guild.
"It's been two years since I'm here, somehow it feels like it's just yesterday…"
A black clothed woman mutters while she looks at the Adventurer Guild in front of her. The building didn't change much as it's still similar to the building she visits two years ago, it's just much more smaller compared to before as she has grown taller in these past two years, even so, Villia didn't mind it for long and entered the adventurer guild.
Sounds of cheering entered Villia ears as soon as she entered the guild. Although it's only morning now, she can see that there's a group of adventurers who has already start drinking without any concern at the Adventurer Bar.
Hearing their conversation, it seems that they have accidentally completed the quest of Vanquishing a Gigant Slime and celebrate it right away as they have vanquished Gigant Slime without any injuries and casualties which even make Villia exclaim in surprise and look at them with interest.
Gigant slime, it's a slime that can separate its body into many small parts which can last for 24 hours and even one drop of those slimes can easily pierce a human and melt them from the inside. The only way to kill Gigant slime is by destroying 8 slime core inside their body, which is pretty hard to do as those slime core are invisible to eyes before they got destroyed.
Although Villia has killed Gigant slime before, she has done so after fighting it for 1 day straight, but, from these adventurers conversation, it seems that they have killed the slime in four hours which pique Villia interest.
'Combat History.'
Combat History : Slain the MS-023 Gigant Slime, Slain the Orc raiders, ….
'MS-023 Gigant Slime?'
Villia look curiously at the weird name MS-023 Gigant Slime, she wants to check that slime information and compare it with real Gigant Slime, even so, she can't do it as the slime isn't here, which is why she regrettably put the matter on the back of her mind before she continues to mind her own business.
Villia starts to walk again but not to the direction of the receptionist where people accept their quest, but go to the bar and sit on the counter. She taps the counter for a few times before the bar master approaches her with a smile and ask.
"What do you want to drink miss?"
"Water please."
"Miss… this is a bar, we serve alcohol, not water…I hope you can understand."
"I'll leave then…thank you."
Villia turns to leave soon after she says that word, and the bar master voices unknowingly arrive on her minds and give her instruction.
[Go to the female toilet, the third stall from the door and put your adventurer card on the statue mouth.]
Villia didn't get surprised and stop on her track nor changes her direction she goes to, as she has already walked in the direction of the toilet even without the bar master telling her about it.
The things she talks about earlier with the bar master is a code used on the day of fire, and it's also a code that will let her go to the secret part of the Adventurer Guild which is located underground.
The Adventurer Guild that exists on the Underground also mostly known as Void Guild. It is a place where people can accept the Top-secret quest, and it's also a place that can only be entered by those who are deemed qualified by the Adventurer Guild. All of the quest accepted at Void Guild is of no concern to adventurer guild, and all of the credit would be given to the Quest taker.
That's also why the guard Doraish praises Villia high to the heaven while only mentioning that she's an A-rank adventurer. It's because, for him, all of the action Villia took is of her own accord and not because of a job from adventurer guild.
Even so, big reward always comes with a big risk, and fame is also one of the things that usually cause someone to face their downfall. All of the people who joined Void Guild know about it, but they joined it regardless of risk.
For Villia who used a false identity, these problems can't even shackle her, not mentioning give her problem. So what if many people become mad because of her action? So what if people put wanted orders and pay any prices for her head? Like she will get scared because of bunches of people who are afraid of her!
Villia walks to the female toilet and enter the third stall as requested.
The toilet interior is average like any other toilet, even so, one point that differs the toilet with other toilet is its cleanliness, which is so clean that people will doubt that this is a toilet!
One of the reasons for the toilet cleanliness is the illusion that always active in this place. It's also the reason why Villia contacted the bar master, as only the bar master are able to remove the illusion. Although Villia can easily go through the illusion with her status Viewer, keeping her card hidden is always better than showing them off.
Villia put the adventurer guild card on a statue of Sofrop a kind of monster frog that's believed for cleanliness, and soon after, the floor under her move down and take her into straight to the underground, and a new toilet appears after the toilet Villia uses gone.
The toilet goes down, left, up, left and finally stops after 5 minutes, arriving in a closed room with only a door as its way out. The door is locked, and the ceiling got covered which ensure someone inside the room can't get out, but that's only for a beginner who arrive at this place for the first time as Villia took her Adventurer Guild card again and soon, the door opened and revealed a dark elf maid.
The dark elf maid shows no expression like a professional and professionally bow at Villia with the most perfect bow a maid can give to her master while Villia can't help but sigh as she looks at this scene.
"Welcome back Master Enmi."
Villia nod at the maid after the maid lift her heads and decide to play along with her as it has been two years since then.
This dark elf maid is the last test, given to adventurer that want to enter the Void Guild Variesz City branch, and any disrespect to that maid will result in their memory got erased by Adventurer Guild as they didn't need a senior member that can't take neutral stances toward races.
Although Void Guild located underground, the degree of luxury can be seen to be much higher than that of the guild that found on the surface. The marble floors, carved walls with all sorts of painting on it, majestic wooden table, soft and fluffy couch, expensive vases with all kind of flowers blooming on it, and of course the perfect lighting to make the guest able to enjoy the atmosphere of the room.
The dark elf maid led Villia to a couch and pours two cups of tea on the table. One cup in front of Villia while the other is placed opposite of Villia before the maid bow respectfully at her again and stand beside the couch opposite of Villia without any changes of expression.
Villia taps her table for a while, and after she feels that playtime is over, she turns to look at the maid who stands professionally at her places and said with an annoyed voice.
"Having funs yet, Guild Leader Fiore? I don't want to waste my time here if possible…"
"Let me enjoy myself a bit more En-mi!"
The expression of the maid who stands respectfully before start to turn into a pout. As Villia has destroyed her fun times of acting as a maid, even so, she didn't complain much as she sits on the opposite couch and looks at Villia with a smile on her face.
"As I have said before, Welcome back ... Enmi~ "
