„It isn`t easy to ask for help to make things easier."
A few days later.....
Aries basically forgot about Hunter/Nightmare situation and smilingly entered the guild.
There Damon was already waiting for him.
He however was a bit more pissed about the situation.
Not only he got crushed and humiliated by some green hooded lumberjack but it was in front of the pair of idiots and then he had to talk to Wethir about this. A lot.
-Hi. How`s the morning – Aries came in strong. – What`s that – and sipped a bit from Damon`s mug.
Damon ripped it back and cleaned the edge – Something I wanted to try. The barman decided to go crazy with the names today. "Dawnfire".
-Isn`t this just beer with…honey? - - It is. Less about beer more about work today-
And Damon proceeded to down the mug .
Someone entered the guild and headed to the secretary desk, and guys headed to the quest board.
-So you were eyeing something yesterday right? –
-Yeah there was this one…. WHICH ONE OF YOU TOOK THE QUEST – Damon shouted to the whole guild
-Don`t look at us. I knew you wanted the wolves yesterday – Arron and his party stood next to them.
-Still. Shame, I wanted that one too. – Finn joined in – good difficulty, not bad rewards. Wolves too-
-I know right? Perfect quest for us. –
-I took it if you don`t mind . – Lisa came from her desk after their rather loud conversation.
-You? For what? Its not like you`re going to complete it on your own. Right? Please tell me you`re not secretly the strongest here or something. –
-No, Although it would be nice to be. No , I need a simple quest for a new guild member test –
All nearby adventurers looked at her, some pulled back from the drinks other turned back from the quest board. Basically half the building turned to her after hearing the "new guild member"
All except the single cloth covered person who entered the building a minute ago.
-So..that`s the person? – Damon pointed slowly at them.
-Goddess I hope it's a woman – Half the female adventurers said quietly.
-AY – the full shout of all men agreed.
-You stay at your normal please for now. After the test do what you want. But for now leave this alone. Damon Aries, its likely you`ll get this quest tomorrow. Not likely all wolves will be wiped out , so you can take care of the rest.
-Cool , thanks Lisa. –
-Get back to work please. I MEAN EVERYONE. Get back to work –
Sighs of disappointment sounded throught the guild as all sadly went to do their job.
Damon scouted the board for some other not beginner but not hard quests, but all the good ones were taken.
So he went to Lisa for work. – Hey.. you got work for me? –
She slammed a block of papers on her desk and a small flyer.
-Yes. Paperwork for the guild. Or looking for a missing cat. Pick what you want –
-ARIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES come, theres boring work to do. – Damon brought his work partner to him
-Yeah – flyer in his face – Oh. Seriously? – he answered annoyed – Okey. I`m off then – and went solo.
Damon decided to stay and do the secretary work.
And there was a bunch of it. Some not suited for a adventurers guild too.
Like this one.
Official guild document regarding investments in weapons production facility in Rakuma.
Okey that one is salvageable , you know adventurers and weapons do go in pairs.
Simple work , check the numbers, correct the mistakes, sign it in the name of the guild stamp it and hand it off to the correct file or to Lisa. Simple.
There were a few death incident reports. These were mostly to pay a certain amount. Or a lawsuit.
~How many did we make already?~bored Damon asked his god.
AROUND 16 REPORTS ,8 INVESTEMENTS, 3 LAWSUITS AND 25 ANGRY ADVENTURERS NOTES. NOT BAD.
~But I`ve been at this the WHOLE DAY ~ an hour and a half actually.
WELL AT LEAST YOU`RE GETTING PAID FOR IT
~that is not enough compensation for this. ~
CALM DOWN YOUNG ONE. THIS IS BETTER THAN LOOKING FOR A STRAY PET OF SOME OLD LADY.
~at least he`s getting some fresh air~
-DAMOOON are you done or just slacking off? – Lisa checked in on him
- No I`m still working hard Ms Lisa!! – and got straight back to work for the rest of the day
