Alastray is an entertainment-focused city, unlike the previous one. There are few shops that adventurers can enjoy since most of them are entirely dedicated to attractions, ranging from music shows, all of them classical music, and there is none that can be considered illegal, at least not visibly to everyone. After all, they do exist, and it is with that that the story of chapter one begins.
In a strange way, the Star-Eyed Woman's group is destroying all the dirty businesses, and the reason for that is simply because they are using their group's name to scare away anyone who tries to put an end to all the illegal activities, thus tarnishing the group's reputation.
Only to later cause chaos in the city, just to send a message to anyone who dares to pretend to be them.
"Hey, why do you have that smirk on your face?" Freytan asked.
"I'm just happy, that's all."
"If the master is happy, then I am too."
"Oh my God, Amanda, stop acting like that, it's weird."
I placed my hand on Amanda's head.
"She's right, you're already an experienced adventurer, you shouldn't act like this."
"If the master says so, then I'll stop."
With that, we continued walking through the city, relentlessly searching for the location of the guild. I wasn't interested in any of the famous attractions since there's no one important in them.
Until, after walking for a long time, we finally saw in the distance a building that stood out from all the others around it, making them look ugly in comparison.
The adventurers' guild was an imposing stone building, with a solid and sturdy structure. Its walls are tall and impenetrable, conveying a sense of security and protection. The facade is adorned with elaborate architectural details, such as reliefs and carvings, adding a touch of beauty and refinement.
The main entrance of the guild is marked by two large solid wooden doors, with intricate details and sturdy hinges. Above the doors, there is a metal plaque with the guild's emblem, representing its identity and purpose. Tall and narrow windows line the walls, allowing only glimpses of the bustling interior.
The roof of the building is sloped and covered with clay tiles, giving it a classic and traditional appearance. Gargoyles and other decorative figures can be seen along the eaves, adding a touch of mystery and charm to the structure.
Surrounding the guild, there is a spacious and open area, usually enclosed by a low wall. This space may accommodate courtyards, gardens, or even a square, where adventurers gather and interact. Wooden benches are strategically placed to provide resting and gathering spots.
The exterior lighting is provided by torches fixed to the walls.
"Wow, this one beats your old one ten to zero."
"Huh? Have you been to the old master's guild?"
"Everything you've done, I've done before."
"What?"
Without saying a word, I walked towards the guild's door, leaving the two behind.
' What the hell is happening with Freytan? ' While thinking that, the door opened before I even touched it, and the reason for that was the adventurers who were waiting for me.
"Welcome, guild master."
"We have a new commander."
"He's still young, this time the guild will surpass the sky."
These and various other praises and phrases happened just like in the game, with the only difference being that I should have pressed the "E" key in front of the door.
"Silence, you troublemakers!"
Instantly, everyone fell silent.
A woman with black hair and red eyes, wearing the same uniform as the guild attendant from the previous city, basically their uniform, walked towards me carrying a huge stack of papers in her arms.
"Welcome, master. I am the attendant of this guild, and I will take you to your office."I think you should take a look at
"Apparently, the previous master left a lot of unfinished work."
"Exactly, sir. You should start fulfilling your duties immediately."
"Alright, lead me to my office then."
"Follow me, master."
The attendant turned her back, walking towards a door that, when pressed, revealed a long staircase leading to the fifth floor, as the second to fourth floors are reserved for adventurers' rooms.
"Master, wait for us."
The attendant looked back to see Freytan and Amanda entering the guild.
"Girls, just go up the stairs to the fifth floor. So, let's continue, master."
"Both of you heard the lady, so just go up."
"Okay," Amanda said, running towards the door.
While Freytan looked around to see if she recognized anyone's face, fortunately, there was no one, and she walked towards the staircase.
In this way, we climbed up and passed through all the floors until we finally reached the fifth floor, where, unlike the others, there were only two rooms: one being my office and the other being my bedroom.
The attendant, standing in front of the door of my office, skillfully held the stack of papers with one hand, while opening the door of my office with the other.
"This way, sir."
When I entered the room, I saw that it was spacious, with high wooden walls and ceiling. But, unlike my previous office, this one was almost empty, except for the elegant and simple dark wooden desk, which was right in front of a large window covered with yellow curtains.
"It seems like I'll have to fix this."
"If you want, just tell me how your old office was, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Alright, that will be my first order then."
As I spoke about how the old office was, Freytan and Amanda approached. Seeing the situation, both of them stayed silent, looking at the empty and plain room.
"Alright, master, I will make the preparations. So, start your work."
The attendant handed over the stack of papers.
"Don't worry, it's nothing too difficult. This time it's just to approve or reject the entry of new adventurers."
The attendant glanced at Freytan and Amanda.
"Ladies, I need you to accompany me. I need to register both of you."
"But I wanted to stay with the master."
Freytan held Amanda's hand.
"We've already told you to stop acting like this. It's the right thing to do, right, Dantalian?"
' What? She's calling the master by his name? ' the attendant thought.
"It won't take long for you to get registered. Once you're done, come back here."
