Let me explain a few things before I get to the guild. first of all, this world I live in is mostly sword and magic, but also 4 years after the 'FALL', Science also took over,when they(the empire) started producing things like airplanes, transparent glass,trains and all those stuff.
Although they manage to manufacture the 'gun',the concept and the way to handle it was too hard so they dropped the plans. Two years later,elainia,the goddess of the empire then revealed the secret she had with the high ranking nobles;THE "SYSTEM".
'So that was why Roseland and his daughter were so strong'. was what I thought when it was announced.the "system" that I mentioned was a chip that is magically infused into the host's body,but the thing is,it has to be done by the goddess herself, so no magic formula stealing,huh.
"Heeeeyyy, Arnold".
i heard a voice from behind me,I turned and looked at the one who called me.she was Emilia Strousberg, daughter of former duke Strousberg.
"good mornin' Emilia, you're brimming with energy as usual in the morning".
I said.
"yes, I'm just excited that we will be going on a joint quest today,so that just made me wake up early".
she said as she looked at me with sparkles in her gem blue eyes.she had platinum blonde hair and anyone could tell from just a glance at a facial features that she was cute,too cute.
I felt my cheeks getting hotter as I look at her cute and innocent smile so I averted my eyes. OHHH,I forget to say things about my appearance,I had dark gray eyes and hair,stood 181.5 cm tall,and as for my face,it may not be that handsome or ugly, it's pretty average.
[author:bruh,you are handsome,stop looking down on yourself].
"what are you standing there for?, come on let's go,the quest starts in in 20 min".
she said as she dragged to the reception hall where we would have a breifing with the guild master.
*5 mins later*
we arrived at the guild,it was a mordern looking stone building with 3 floors,in the first floor, we have the reception hall.the first floor is the waiting area/reception hall,where you can rest and eat,on the second floor is the quest acceptance area where the guild staff will give you an numerous option of quest to participate in,of course,it is based on your rank.
On the third floor is the guild master's office,and some other places.when we reached the reception hall we took a seat and just had a light conversation while waiting. A few minutes later,the guild master and his secretaries walk to the stage at the front and then he addressed us.
"good morning, ladies and gentlemen, as you all know today is the day of one of the most dangerous quest you will ever embark on". the guild master is a middle aged man with a rugged appearance,although his hair is slightly changing from the original black to grey, he was still brimming with energy like a teenager. his first secretary is an elf, beautiful as they said but her personality is ice-cold.the second one is a beastman from the wolf clan,a handsome guy with a carefree, sometimes strict personality.
well, anyway.....
"as you may already know today we will be going to the evil god belizard's ruins.this ruins is the highest rank ruin in history, and we wouldn't allow let low rank adventurers go there,but due to imperial orders, we have to clear the dungeon today".
people start screaming things like "screw the empire", "we don't take orders from the empire and things like that.
"okay settle down everyone,they said they would reward whoever clears the dungeon with a total of 52 million Silverese. and your family would be exempt from paying taxes".
after hearing that, people started mumuring.of course, Emilia too seem excited.
"hey Arnold, did you hear that,52 million with no tax forever. come on we will clear that ruin together".
"yeah, lets"
she said happily and I replied in a way that seems happy but inside....
'this is going to be the most difficult quest for both of us. she is an A-rank magic user while i'm an F-rank combat type, and belizard's ruin is a SSS rank ruin,I would need to protect her and myself'. I was pondering on that when the guild master said..
"with that, the breifing has come to a close. I wish you all good luck and I pray that you all make it back safe".
after saying that,the guild master and his secretaries walked away. I faced Emilia who looked at me with a smile and said.
"come on, let's go. onward to victory". all I could do was laugh as we walked to our next destination.
belizard's ruin.
