Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 395 - 388: Dark Elf

Suddenly, Alex and Lilith, who were in the middle of a discussion, saw their conversation getting interrupted.

''My excuse, dear customers it's against a policy to interrupt a customer during lunch, but the situation is urgent. You got a call from Blue Ivy adventurer guild master; it's extremely urgent, so they say, Mr. Sam." The waitress gave a light bow after she was done talking. 

Alex and Lilith exchange glances. Despite not knowing what the guild master wanted with him, Alex decided to first the other party; the situation must be pretty urgent for them to come to disturb him here; Sakuya must have judged the situation to be urgent for her to tell the guild staff where they are.

''Sigh! I will head over now.'' Alex said and stood up after helping Lilith up.

The two left with Lilith going to the Inn while Alex made his way to the guild as he had promised. However, the guild seemed to have an unusual atmosphere compared to normal. To be exact, a large number of people were entering and leaving the guild. This was even though most adventurers would be out on their requests during this time.

The moment Alex set foot in the guild, he was met with a scene.

''How much Aurora grass powder has we collected!?'' 

''I bought as much as I could from all the miscellaneous shops, alchemists, and pharmacists in the city.'' 

''Wait. In case anything happens here, we have to leave some behind. We should send them 70%.'' 

''But Lina, the city over there-" 

''It will be okay. Counting the number of residents there, 70% of the stocks from Blue Ivy should be sufficient for all the people in Xeeno.''

''We'll keep collecting Aurora grass, for now; send me a few adventurer parties later..''

''I understand. Put out an urgent request as soon as possible for all the available adventurers.''

Guild staff and adventurers were all in haste as if they were possessed by something.

''I wonder what is going?" 

Alex thought as he walked toward one of the counters.

?It's probably a pandemic judging from the amount of magic grass being collected.?Silveria's voice echoed inside Alex's head.

'I see, maybe it's a magic fever.' 

Alex had heard about it; however, he didn't know the details. Well, he was going to learn what happened after he met with the guild master.

Looking at the current chaotic situation inside the guild, Alex couldn't help but think when he had seen a situation like this, it went back to what happened in Celesta, the monster wave, and the demon's infiltration.

''Welcome, Mr. Sam, over here.'' 

One of the receptionists, even though busy, called Alex the moment she saw him.

Several adventurers and guild staff turned to look at Alex when they heard that but soon returned to their work as if they had no time for it.

''Please come over here. I'll take you to the guild master's office immediately. I'm Leonora, by the way.'' 

Lenora introduced herself and pulled Alex behind the counter.

''At least can I know what going on?" Alex inquired; however, Leonora shook her head.

''Please ask the guild master about that. However, something out of the ordinary has definitely happened.''

Replying to Alex's question, she went up a set of stairs behind the counter. At the top was a door. 

Knock! Knock!

Alex watched Leonora knock on the door.

''Guild master, it's Leonora. I've brought Mr. Sam.''

 ''Yes, I've been expecting you. Please come in.''

Alex reacted with a twitch when he heard the voice from inside. 

Not because the voice was clear as a bell, but because it belonged to women, half of the guild masters he encountered were women except in Eria and Celesta; this raises a question, why the ratio of women in charge when it comes to guild matter is high? Only the Mercenary guild has a man as the guild head.

Shaking his head, Alex discards these thoughts. 

''Pardon me.''

Leonora opened the door and prompted Alex to enter.

Alex was met with a brown-skinned woman when he entered. However, she wasn't a human woman as both her ears were much more pointed compared to ordinary humans.

''Dark Elf.''

Alex's words echoed through the small, silent office of the guild master, where the noise from the first floor couldn't be heard. It was his first encounter with a Dark Elf. 

''Fufu~, apologies for calling you over so suddenly. I wanted to borrow your strength for something.''

Seeing her gracious smile, Alex was breathless for a moment.

Pointed ears and brown skin. Her silver hair flowed down her back. She was wearing something like an evening dress that you would wear to a party. Because she seemed to be working on some documents on the desk, she was lower than Alex. The deep valley created by her large breasts accentuated itself greatly. Her smooth brown skin and seemingly soft twin hills would draw the gazes of men like insects to honey. Because she was a Dark Elf, he couldn't tell her exact age; comparing her appearance to a human's; she looked like a woman in her mid-twenties. 

''Enjoying what you see?" The Dark Elf asked in a teasing tone, and who is Alex? 

''Greatly,'' Alex replied as he took the seat across from the woman. 

The Dark Elf was momentarily surprised; most men, in this case, would shy away because they embarrassed being caught red-handed, or the bravest one would only lightly cough to divert the subject elsewhere. However, Alex did none of that; on the contrary, he admitted to having enjoyed the view; this left the woman surprised; no, she wasn't the only one; Leonora was surprised by how bold Alex was. One should know that Alex was in the presence of the guild master whose status isn't any less than a city; sometimes it went past that, so no wonder Leonora got surprised seeing Alex's both answers. 

'He acts like he had seen more people of high standing than her.' Leonora couldn't help but conclude this.. If only she knew the truth.
