Entering the guild building this time through the front entrance Raziel and I went straight to the reception desk but before Raziel or I could declare our intentions the receptionist asked us to accompany her directly to one of the second floor rooms. Although this room has a layout identical to the one I was in yesterday, it still has a different and lighter feel than the room conquered at the guild's side entrance .
When I distracted myself analyzing the furniture in the room, Raziel didn't mind being silent for long. He should spend more time with Sten and learn the advantages of being silent rather than be with Erick and become a gossip.
"Hey do you think they were waiting for us? Are we in trouble?" Hey Ulric don't ignore me, idiot!"
"Calm down Raziel , why not be worried if someone wanted to fuck us they would do it before we enter the buildings not inside it and it is obvious that the extermination mission members are taken to a less public place to receive their reward I doubt that the guild wants rumors about the Chartreux family to begin to spread from within its headquarters."
When Raziel would likely insult me again the door to the room opened. The same supervisor from yesterday walked into the room, looks like the guild is really keeping things a secret if it 's the same employee from yesterday is in charge of delivering the rewards and probably warning us not to spread a single rumor about what happened. The guild must be keeping most of its employees in the dark about their attacking the Chartreux family .
"Good Morning. I've already brought your rewards."
He pulled out two medium bags they didn't seem to contain much swag and he pulled out a magic tool in the shape of a small crystal ball.
"The guild decided to give you an extra monetary reward as the village that had created the order was disbanded and your group did a very good job during this mission the guild is very proud to have new adventurers with their moral qualities. And for the reward of merit you just need to take out your identification cards."
The procedure was smooth and quick, the supervisor just had to put the magic tool over the card and he changed some of his data. In mine I didn't see much difference I had just increased my rank so there are still many points to go up again since Raziel had the change that we expected his rank I raised it and now he's whistle to enter the dungeons that are spread around the city.
"Thank you for your patience and unfortunately I have to give you a warning don't discuss the events of your last mission in public or tell other adventurers what happened the guild would like to keep track of information for the next few days, you will be informed when your mission can become public ."
"OK."
It didn't take us long to be escorted out of the building. I feel this is a way of warning not to approach the building for the next few days so there is no chance of us doing shit inside guild territory. The guild doesn't really want to be publicly paid off with what's going to happen to the Chartreux family this must be the way the master of that branch avoids appearing to be interfering in the politics of the noble families .
I discreetly open the bag containing my poor monetary reward just to be surprised because I didn't see the golden color of the gold coins but clotheslines colors like blue, red and green. Looks like I was fooled by the bristle of these crystals they are at least level two crystals a handful of elemental and mana crystals. Looks like I got some of the materials needed to forge some pieces of maturation before the final test of the first year at the institute.
I looked at Raziel only to see him admiring a black crystal.
"Hey keep it and never smart to show off riches in a public place like a street."
"My bad. I was just overwhelmed by the guild's generosity and thought we wouldn't even get a reward just for earning high quality tier two crystals ."
As we made our way back to the institute I noticed that Raziel is acting paranoid, he is looking around to see if we are being followed and when a person appears in front of us he is already preparing to defend himself, even when he was a kid. I would find it funny if I didn't think we could be really attacked, but unlike my colleague my surveillance is more discreet.
I check to see if any shadow element users are following us or anyone that has a gray or stronger core. But lucky for us there's no one following us if we're really screwed because he'd be able to hide from my sight and that's scary. I may not even have found anyone who could do this anymore after entering the dungeon I realized that there are different forms of energy that are invisible to me.
When we got back to the institute we split up I went to spend the rest of my day training and so my life normalized for a few days. Over the next few days I attended my classes, trained and spent my time in the library I didn't even think about stepping outside the institute over the weekend my fellows had already visited the dungeon as I had done before leaving on the extermination mission .
Raziel didn't have much trouble getting through the dungeon floors as with his shadow element he is able to remain hidden from monsters he spent a little more time than I did to clear the floors and according to what he told me the monster elite went easier than he expected. Using poison and a magic lantern- type tool he can disorient the monster and kill it the only problem he lost money when he had to sacrifice the lantern in order to attack the monster for its cost and finish it.
On the other hand Torris and Hilda took longer to pass through the floors, both had to take breaks to recover during their journey and this made them spend more time to pass through the floors, but when arriving at the elite monster Torris didn't have much difficulty in mastering it since the elite monster couldn't pierce its solid defense so Torris kill the monster by throwing it against the cave wall even though it has a rounded shape and it's still irregular .
Hilda simply cut the monster in half with a single swing of her spear, when she quoted this I can see Erick controlling himself not to reach her as he and Sten will also manage to kill the elite monster but they got hurt doing that Erick almost he lost his arm to the elite monster, but using the common flashlight trick they will both get his magic gem in the end.
But I suspect the only reason they could achieve this was because of the new sword and shield set I was able to realize that both were not only made of common tier two materials their conductivity was well above average, they both must have spent one. generous amount in the manufacture of your new weapons.
Luckily for me this was not the only good news of the week and I was also very happy when I received a considerable amount of gold each team member received one hundred and forty gold coins. It only took Rafaela five days to sell the bandits' equipment and the horses we got from them. I was even tempted to keep one of the horses, but now I don't have a very good financial situation to keep a horse in a stable and not use it as I don't plan to leave town for the next few months.
So keep a horse in my current reality and nothing more than a waste of money. I managed to talk to Ingredi on the siesta fair and after asking how her progress was making her progress towards the gray core, but unfortunately she was still far from advancing she told me she would be lucky to advance before the test and Hilda is in the same situation. that she.
This made me have to leave my plan to get the source of the life element for next year, thinking it over and a smarter decision to leave it for later. Anyone will be able to find the source before me if it was to happen it would have happened in the last few years decades. But lucky for me Ingredi was very interested in going to dig under the Yates family's village the source of the life element not only is very valuable as it can take many forms the curious side of Ingredi was fascinated to discover and study the source of the life element which it's buried so deep in the ground.
She would have sided with me in leaving Torris out of that plan as we doubt he supports our plan as the consequences will be hurting his family's income. And with that my week comes to an end next week I plan to join our group and explore at least up to the tenth floor of the dungeon.
I'm looking forward to finding out how far we can go as a group.
