Chapter 29 The Adventurer's Guild

As he stepped inside, Lyrian found himself surrounded by a bustling atmosphere. The air was thick with anticipation and the sound of animated conversations filled the hall.Adventurers of various races, clad in a colorful array of armor and garments, mingled and exchanged tales of their exploits.

Lyrian had seen a few people with animal body parts before, such as tails and ears, but here existed beings that were lizard-like humanoids, dwarfs, and tall ones with pale skin and pointy ears.

Warriors, mages, rangers, and rogues alike shared their experiences, forming a vibrant tapestry of knowledge and skill. The guild hall was a vast space, divided into different sections.

On one side, a robust notice board adorned with parchments and posters caught Lyrian's attention. It displayed a myriad of quests and contracts, ranging from simple fetch quests to perilous monster hunts and treacherous dungeon delves.

Each parchment was meticulously detailed, outlining the rewards and dangers associated with the task.

Nearby, a bustling tavern area provided a hub for adventurers to unwind and socialize. Laughter and merriment filled the air as tales of triumph and narrow escapes were shared over tankards of frothy ale.

Further inside, a training area was filled with warriors engaged in friendly sparring matches. The clash of swords, the crackle of magic spells, and the twang of arrows echoed in the chamber.

Seasoned mentors offered guidance to novices, honing their skills and preparing them for the perils that awaited beyond the kingdom's walls.

Lyrian noticed that at the back was a horizontal line of desks where guild clerks diligently recorded the details of completed quests, ensuring proper payment and recognition for the adventurers' achievements.

The clerks also provided valuable information, guiding members toward reputable suppliers of equipment, magical artifacts, and potions.

Following his parents, he went to one of the desks that didn't have a line of people behind it.

Their clerk was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties, wearing a buttoned white shirt and black skirt as her work clothes.

She introduced herself with a bright smile. "Welcome to the adventurer's guild! How may I be of assistance to you?" She politely asked across the counter.

"Thank you very much for greeting us! We would like to let our little man here take an element affinity test today if that's alright." Grasus replied with a kind smile, gesturing towards Lyrian.

"Why of course! Let me get that scheduled and you are on your way--" The clerk was suddenly cut off by a yell from the desk over.

"What do you mean you can't let me skip in line!? Don't you know who I am!?" A young girl screamed at the male clerk at her booth, her tone that of a spoiled child.

She looked to be the same age as Lyrian, wearing a luxurious purple dress with an ore-encrusted wand attached to her waistband.

She was accompanied by a gentleman in his 40s who wore a butler's outfit, his expression looking worried.

"Ma'am, please understand. I know your family background but I would get fired if I allowed you to take the affinity test ahead of everyone else who has already made an appointment." The clerk spoke, his face blue from nervousness with beads of sweat pouring down his head.

'Ma'am?' Lyrian thought to himself in slight confusion, his attention now carried over to the incident happening a few feet away from him.

This little girl certainly did not look old enough to be addressed as "Ma'am."

Coincidentally, the butler behind the girl had the same expression of anxiety on his face.

Surveying around, many other adventurers and people nearby looked like they were purposefully not directing their gaze toward the girl.

"Who cares if you get fired!? I am a royal! You should be happy that you get to serve my family before dying your pitiful life!" The girl humphed in a pampered tone.

The clerk paused, finding it hard to get out words as he didn't know what to do or say.

"My apologies sir, please, take a look at my token." The girl's butler stepped up, showing the man a metal plate of sorts.

"Just let her take the test, I promise you under the authority of the Silandra household, your job will not be taken from you." He said as the little girl stepped to the side, closing her eyes and crossing her hands with a stern and confident stance.

As he heard what the butler was saying, Lyrian realized that he recognized that name. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

'Silandra?... Oh yea. That mage girl told me about that household as her final words before dying.' Lyrian remembered.

After this realization, he used Scan on the girl without a second thought.

As Lyrian took a look at her stats, he didn't realize that he was staring right at her face, until she suddenly opened her eyes, realizing a strange aura around her.

Upon first opening her eyes, she immediately noticed a random weirdo staring directly at her with a face of interest, to say the least.

"Who do you think you're staring at like that!? You creep! Don't you know who I a--" She nearly finished her statement when Lyrian realized that his family was moving to the waiting room, so he nonchalantly ignored her and followed them instead.

It was interesting to meet someone that went by the name of Silandra since he heard those as dying words.

But it wasn't enough for him to care really. He especially didn't like giving arrogant people the satisfaction of thinking they were above him, so he didn't mind ignoring the girl.

From his point of view, she was was annoying little spoiled twerp who was causing problems for no reason.

"You--! How dare you ignore me!" She yelled as onlookers gaped their mouths in shock at the boy who just ignored the girl.

From the loud noise that was already resounding from the room, Lyrian's parents didn't notice that the girl was yelling at Lyrian since he didn't talk back either.

So, following the directions of the clerk, they entered a room to the side of the desks.

'I need to learn how to hide my aura as soon as possible if I don't want to get caught using Scan...'
