Chapter 439: Adventurers
[[Jack, Egor, and Lina will participate in the investigation. Silver will remain on standby in the Empire in case of emergency and Noname will be on the lookout in Sokal in case something happens in the east.]]
Understood. But when it comes to investigating Grimoires bases, I dont think these three will be enough. Two of them are not suited for investigation after all.
[[Im not gonna deny that.]]
[[I dont think that I can even get myself to the Kingdom in the first place.]]
[[Of course, I will be requesting some personnel from the Guild to help with the investigation. Its impossible if I have to do it alone after all.]]
Jack astoundedly said in a small voice.
Those two are the biggest muscle brains of the SS-rank adventurers after all. Its not that they are stupid or anything. Its just that they find careful investigation to be troublesome so they would just destroy anything that smells suspicious to them.
It should be quite difficult to follow up for these two alone.
[[I have already begun recruiting personnel for the subjugation team. There will be 5 S-rank adventurers, 10 AAA-ranks, and several support staff. I will assign them under the three of you to take care of the investigation.]]
[[Even if you assign that many to us, it would be meaningless if they turn out useless you know?]]
[[Dont worry. When it comes to investigation, they would be more reliable than you guys. You can just remain on standby until the Demons show up.]]
[[Cmon, you dont have to say it like that, it makes us look like we are only useful in a fight doesnt it? Right? Elder Egor.]]
[[Right Right.]]
[[Then prove me wrong on the field. Even with my survey, the number of suspicious places I discovered is still quite a lot. Scouting them out first is important. If we dont do it properly, they might get away after all.]]
[[if we let them escape, they will surely go into hiding. Failure is not an option. Sending in this many SS-rank adventurers is unprecedented for the Adventurer Guild. That alone should give you an idea of how important this mission is. Thats why I want you all to keep that in mind as you make your move.]]
Everyone nodded to Clydes words.
A profession called Adventurer has existed for a long time.
However, it has been only for 500 years that adventurers are organized like this.
An organization that combats the monster threat from a neutral position. An organization that can unite the countries against a common threat and serves as a gathering place for individuals with abnormal power.
The Guild was established with that purpose in mind.
And it actually worked.
Because the Guild is there to mobilize and organize individual adventurers, the continent is not plunged into chaos. After all, without the Guild, the Empire would have launched an immediate invasion of the Kingdom.
But how did this organization successfully establish itself in the first place?
The answer is none other than mankinds fight against the Demons.
Because people fear the Demons, the Guild was established to combat them and prepare for their return.
Thats the kind of organization the Adventurer Guild is.
[[Very well[For the people]. I expect you all to do your best.]]
The meeting was concluded with Clydes closing words.
The details should be hash out by Jack and Clyde later.
This time there is a clear division of roles.
These guys wont be able to act properly unless someone spelled it out for them after all.
Thinking so, I left the basement and went up to the Imperial Capital branch above.
Thank you for your work, Silver-san.
Its not tiring this time. The problem children are all grown up now after all.
Emma, the receptionist who usually takes care of me, smiles bitterly at my reply.
A normal receptionist cant treat SS-rank adventurers like problem children after all huh. Well, it cant be helped I guess.
By the way, I am thinking of clearing all the accumulated quests. If there are quests that you want me to take care of then let me know.
Eh!? You will take care of them!?
There has been so much going on in this country that I didnt get the chance to accept any quest. Give me the high-ranked ones, I will take care of them.
Thank you very much! The high-ranked quests have been accumulating lately since no one takes care of them!
Emma excitedly started preparing the quests for me.
It must have been hard on her.
Well, that is on me though.
Guild staff usually keep the high-ranked quests for me since I always give my priority to them and the other adventurers wouldnt touch it because they think that Silver will take care of them anyway.
Because of that, the cycle where high-ranked quests keep accumulating until I take care of them was made.
Well, since there are gradually more and more excellent adventurers here, this cycle will be broken soon.
Oh!? Thats Silver isnt it!
An adventurer saw me and called out.
Apparently, the guild was hosting a welcome party for new adventurers today.
The old men are offering alcohol to the newcomers who look like they are still boys and girls.
Someone would have called the city guards already if this is hosted outside the adventurer guild.
The newbie adventurers seem to be confused by all the merry-making.
Is it fine to not stop them?
They wouldnt stop even if we try.
Emma sighs.
It seems that they are already getting carried away by alcohol.
As long as they have a reason to get noisy, anything goes for these guys after all.
Silver!! We have newbies joining us today! You say something too!
Thats right Thats right! Say something! Theres a lot of newbies today you know!
WaHaHaHa!!
Good grief.
Dealing with drunk people really is troublesome huh.
I obediently head over.
These newbies should be around 15 years old huh, no maybe even younger than that.
2 boys and 1 girl.
They are looking at me nervously.
Ah, Umm! Are you Silver-san, the SS-rank adventurer!?
Thats right.
I, I, I came to the Imperial Capital because of you, Silver-san!
Me too!
Two of them extend their hands out to me.
I shook each of their hands and looked at the last boy.
This boy seems to have a strong will.
Suddenly, the boy pointed his finger at me.
He then declared in a slightly quivering voice.
S, Silver! I will surpass you someday! I will become an adventurer that can carry this Imperial Capital branch!
In response to the boys reckless remark, the other two newbies hurriedly tried to apologize in his place.
However, the adults around them all cheerfully laugh.
Good, Good! Say it more!
Im looking forward to seeing you surpass Silver!
D, dont laugh at me! Im serious!
Perhaps the boy felt like he was made fun of, he yelled at them.
However, thats probably useless.
After all, none of them were making fun of him.
No matter how serious you are, it is still unrealistic for a low-ranked adventurer to say that.
You think that I cant do it!?
If I tell you to give up, will you? If you only have that much resolve then dont do it in the first place.
S, shut up! Theres no way Im giving up!
Then start by getting stronger. Overtake your seniors one by one and challenge me again.
I put my hand on the boys head and pat it.
I then headed toward Emma and received the quests from her.
Watch over him for me. Make sure that he doesnt push himself too much.
Please leave him to me! Its my job as a receptionist to manage adventurers after all!
Im counting on you. I will finish these quests soon. I will be free until the result of the Kingdom investigation comes out anyway.
Saying so, I left the branch office.
