Chapter 50

The second type of Guildhall would be owned by way of a Guild itself. This building would typically have the mark of the Guild held proudly on pinnacle of the building. The building used to be owned with the aid of the guild itself and quests could only be performed by the guild members.

Some massive cities would a have a few guilds while some smaller cities would be completely run by using a single Guild. It was high quality for a Guild to have their personal Guildhall, as they would keep all the income from completing a quest, generally acquire taxes and have a good trade on beast crystals. The only trouble used to be there was a large start-up value concerned and you wished a massive reputation for people to ask you to whole quests.

After Tuffy completed explain the three of them went to the Guildhall counter to tell them of the quest they completed.

"We're here for the reward on the Mud Crab quest!" Tuffy said excitedly.

As quickly as Tuffy stated these phrases many of the people inner the Guildhall had grew to become their head. Many of them had tried to take on the Mud crab however failed, so they were wondering just who on earth was able to defeat it?

The female behind the desk working for the Guildhall could not trust it either.

"I can't just give you the reward, do you have any proof?"

Tuffy regarded in the direction of Ray. Ray knew this would be a problem. Right now, the only element Ray had on him to prove he had defeated the Crab was the Advanced crystal. Although Ray was in a position to show them the Crystal through taking it out from the system, the crystal wasn't able to leave his hand in any other case it would disappear returned to the system.

The Guild would truely choose to examine the crystal earlier than handing out any type of reward.

"Don't fear about it, I do not need the money," Ray stated to Tuffy.

The Guild contributors in the room began to laugh.

"I knew any person couldn't defeat that beast, dam little brat used to be simply making up fairy tales, as usual."

"Did the youngster simply assume they would just consider him if they stated they beat the thing, and solo at that!"

Tuffy and Candy could overhear the humans talking badly about them and Ray. Tuffy was once honestly recognised amongst the adventures in city for exaggerating stories and concept this was once simply him being him, however Tuffy wasn't mendacity this time but he used to be too embarrassed to say something back.

That's when suddenly.

"He's no longer lying!" Candy shouted, "Me and my brother noticed it with our personal eyes, go out into the swamp and check if you want!"

"Oh, like that time when he saw a phoenix on the north aspect of the lake, or when he located a treasure at the aspect of the swamp but a creature had taken it or let's all speak about that time he noticed a dragon."

Tuffy was shaking more and extra as he heard the man's words, certain he exaggerated from time to time but this wasn't one of those times. Tuffy let his anger take manipulate of him and had enough, he took out his Dagger and lashed out at the man.

But it was once useless, the man grabbed Tuffy by means of the wrist and held Tuffy around the neck in a headlock, placing Tuffy's very own dagger across his neck.

Suddenly, the man then felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Let go of him!" Ray said.

Special thanks to DarkShadow_DS, Fenrir2040, and Meme_Lord_5233 who is the cutting-edge pinnacle supporter!

Also we hit the a thousand Stone Goal, Let's hit this weeks aim of 1200 Stones!

There were 5 guys altogether sat at the desk closest to the counter. Each of them wore a purple tag out proudly displaying that they have been all D classification adventures. There Guild was nicely recognised in town as the Hounds and typically harassed human beings however in no way took it too far.

This was once one of the motives why no one had long gone towards their wild behaviour however for the first time ever in this small town, a single man used to be going up towards them.

The Hounds have been shocked, as Ray was one 2d standing proper by means of Candy's aspect and the next 2nd his hand was on one of the members recognised as Iron claw.

Iron claw used to be the leader of a small sub Unit of the Hounds and had been positioned in this unique town.

"What do you assume you are doing?" Iron claw said. "Who gave you permission to touch me?"

"Just let the boy go," Ray said with a sterner voice this time, nonetheless keeping on to Iron claw's shoulder.

Iron Claw tried to go his shoulder to shrug the man off but he could not pass an inch.

"Do I have to remind you he attacked me first?"

"He's just a kid, he's already learnt his lesson so just let him go."

The other members of the Hound were careworn as to why Iron claw hadn't hit the man already, like he normally would have. Little did they recognize that Iron claw was once unable to cross his shoulder.

Suddenly, one of the members of the Hound obtained too impatient.

"If you won't do anything then I will." The man said as he jumped off from the table in the direction of Ray.

"No don't!" Iron claw shouted however it was too late.

Ray then lifted one of his fingers and then used the talent "Iceball." A ball of ice shot out from the palm of Ray's hand and hit the man useless in the stomach inflicting him to fall to the ground.

Everyone round them who used to be looking at unexpectedly commenced to gossip.

"He's a mage!"

"I thinking he was a fighter; I've in no way viewed a mage before."

"No wonder he was once so confident."

The Guildhall employee in the back of the counter used to be beginning to panic, afraid the state of affairs would get a lot worse. She was once over and over urgent a button that was placed under the counter, which was once used to call the Guild Guard.

"I might not ask you again," Ray said.

Iron claw could see something ordinary in Ray's eyes. It was once a seem to be he had seen many times earlier than when he went out hunting, the appear of a beast that had captured its prey. Iron claw was afraid if he let go of the boy, he would lose the only benefit he had.

Ray was once now unwell and worn-out of waiting, he commenced to set off the ice attribute in his gauntlet that used to be maintaining the man. In an instant, it nearly iced over Iron claws whole arm that was once conserving onto the boy.

Ray then gripped the Iron claw's hand that held the boy and smashed it into a thousand shards of Ice.

Although Iron claw felt no ache due to the ice and adrenaline, the shock of losing his hand was devastating.

"Kill him!" Iron claw shouted at the pinnacle of his voice.

Each member of The Hound drew out their swords and weapons and went for the attack.

"I hear mages aren't desirable at shut vary combat!" A man shouted as he swung his sword.

Ray ducked the attack with ease and punched the man in the stomach sending him flying through the air and into the Guildhall walls.

"I'm now not a mage."

Ray then went from one individual to subsequent dealing with each of them in a single blow, causing destruction to the desk and walls of the guild. The onlookers stayed a excellent distance away but they stood there in amazement seeing Ray show his overpowering skills.

"What guild is he from?" A man or woman observing by said.

"I don't know, I've in no way seen him right here before."

When Ray had finished dealing with all the participants of the Hound, he went up to every one of them and placed his hand on their body.

"You will never be able to battle again."

Ray then used the talent mana drain on every member but used to be dissatisfied through the result. Each of the participants had only given him one mana point each. Most probable due to the fact they had in no way been trained to use Ki earlier than not like the knights at the academy.

Just then the two massive doorways to the Guildhall opened. A young-looking man in his twenties entered wearing bright Silver and gold armour. The man's identify was once Ark and he was once the shield of the guildhall.

Guildhalls would normally appoint a shield form a superior guild to assist out with disturbances like these. And Ark used to be a member of Flying Angel a top Ranked Guild.

As quickly as Ark opened the door, he ought to see straight away that the contributors of the Hound had been defeated and standing over them was once Ray.

Ark drew his sword and pointed it as Ray as he walked forward.

"Are you the one causing a disturbance here?"

But earlier than Ark should even get close to Ray, Candy had stepped in between them.

"Ark, do not worry it's a misunderstanding, he was once simply assisting me and Tuffy out."

Ark Noticed Candy straight away as he frequently appeared after them in this town. In fact, he was the one that recommended them two to a guild that used to be associated to Flying Angel.

Ark then withdrew his sword.

"Fine, you can explain the important points to me later."

Ray then seemed at the large clock that was placed above the entrance of the Guildhall. It was almost time for him to meet the merchant and he couldn't be late.

"I have to go," Ray stated as he grew to become to the two kids.

The lady who was behind the counter right away got here going for walks out.

"Wait! you have to pay for all of the damage you caused, if you don't, I'll record you!"

Ray was once in a rush and wished to go away immediately, in his haste he used his ability limitless void and pulled out all of the 22 intermediate crystals he had obtained and positioned them on the ground earlier than leaving. He didn't recognize if it was once ample to cover the damages however notion it would at least be shut enough.

Ark was once then curious about the crystals Ray had left behind; he had considered comparable crystals before. He picked one up from the pile and started out to observe it.

"What! These are all crystals from a Green Clops, how did he obtain so many?"

The others had heard Ark's words and couldn't believe their ears. They all knew how effective a Green clops was. Many of them had to group up as a five-man crew to take one out. So a long way solely Ark was capable to solo the Green Clops. Ray had virtually left more than sufficient for the repairs of the Guildhall.

Suddenly, any other man got here jogging into the hall out of breath but with a massive smile on his face.

"Have you heard the news!" The man shouted. "The Mud Crab in the swamp, it is been defeated!"

Suddenly, everyone's coronary heart had skipped a beat. They started out to remember the phrases that Tuffy had stated and no longer only that but the reality that they had simply witnessed his amazing conflict ability and now another man had proven the defeat of the Mud Crab. They no longer idea Tuffy's phrases have been a lie.

"Who was once that man?" Ark requested candy who used to be standing by his side.

"I don't know, all he said was once his title was once Nes."

"Nes huh, I'll be mindful that name."

Ray was once currently strolling as quickly as he could to the meetup point. He no longer may want to count number on Noir as she used to be presently evolving however that didn't count number too much. Even besides Noir's help, Ray's walking velocity was once quicker than most.

While navigating his way via the forest, Ray couldn't assist but get a idea out of his mind. When Iron claw was once talking about Tuffy's lies, one of them was once about Tuffy seeing a dragon. Of course, Ray idea that it couldn't be true.

Even when Ray was once nevertheless alive as a dragon, he wasn't able to locate any other one for a a hundred years however that did not imply there wasn't one. Ray thought it was a shame that he had to depart in such a rush, if he had greater time, he would have been able to use the Dragons truth to see if Tuffy was once mendacity or not.

At least Ray now knew have been Tuffy was and when he could depart the metropolis freely, he would be in a position to come again and ask Tuffy about the dragon in the future.

Meanwhile returned at the academy, Slyvia could not stop wondering about the message she had seen the different day. "Dragon's roar." The solely component that she may want to suppose of used to be perhaps the potential used to be someway linked to that of the Dragon Knights.

Not lots was once acknowledged about the Dragon Knights, solely the Elders were old ample to have seen them in person. After giving it lots thought Slyvia even though it would be pleasant to ask Von about them.

"Ha, I see that message has interested you as well," Von stated with a massive smile. "To be honest, even between the elders not a whole lot is known about the Dragon knights. They saved a lot of things to themselves."

"Is there whatever more you can inform me about the dragon knights?" Slyvia asked with her domestic dog canine eyes.

Von thinking tough for a moment earlier than replying.

"Ah, we sincerely have a book at Avrion."

Sylvia's face sank.

"But I have already been via the library and examine all the books about the Dragon knights."

"But that used to be earlier than you were an Elder, now you also have get entry to to the Elders non-public library," Von said. "There's a collection inside, of all the writings every member had ever done. A room just about the Dragon knights you might even say. Although many of the phrases written down seem to be in some sought of code."

"What are we ready for!" Slyvia stated excitedly. "Let's go."

"I'm afraid there are too many eyes on us at the moment. It's excellent if we wait for matters to calm down."

Slyvia used to be dissatisfied but she understood. Von used to be usually doing matters in his satisfactory pastime for her. Slyvia additionally had her very own matters in the Elders room to deal with. Every meeting so some distance there seemed to be one individual in precise that had it out for her and that was the master knight Delbert.

Slyvia notion again to simply before her brothers had left the academy, they had instructed her to be careful. The solely way the Dark guild was once capable to plan an attack, that big, was once if a high-ranking member was once worried and Slyvia had her guesses that it had some thing to do with Delbert but proper now she had no proof.

Von may want to see Slyvia had a problematic seem to be on her face, she had a lot on her shoulders after all and she was solely 17 years of Age.

"Slyvia, do not assume we are doing nothing about what is going on at Avrion, we shall make our cross soon, simply wait till the time is right."

Ray had managed to safely meet up with Billy on time and just like before, Ray travelled in the again of the carriage to Avrion city. He had got in simply as handy as he obtained out but of course, this wasn't something Ray ought to do all the time, as it relied on Von's relied on guys being on shift.

Ray thanked Billy once more for all his help however before Ray used to be in a position to leave, Billy had acquired a message to pass by on to Ray from one of his men.

Billy went up to Ray to whisper into his ear.

"This nighttime come back to merchant hall, Bay 22 right here. There will be a assembly organised by using Von."

Ray was once quite amazed to hear these words; he was thinking if something had happened in a short time whilst he was once away. When Ray had arrived again at his dorm, it grew to become out he wasn't the only one invited to this meeting, all his roommates had too.

Once nighttime had arrived, A knock was once heard at the dorm's door. To everyone's surprise, it used to be Wilfred who was there.

"Everyone take hold of a cloak, we ought to do our quality to now not be considered tonight." He said. "A secret assembly is about to take place and you need to now not talk a phrase of this to anyone."

All of them did as they have been advised and followed Wilfred to the merchant's bay. The other students did not comprehend their vacation spot however Ray had already been knowledgeable beforehand.

The guards that would have usually been stationed outdoor and interior the service provider building, could not be seen and everyone Ran straight through to Bay 22.

Once they had reached the bay, they have been all taken to a room in the lower back which had a massive spherical desk in the centre. It looked like it was capable to healthy about 30 visitors on it.

When the students entered the room, they have been amazed to see Slyvia and Von already there sat down but they weren't the solely ones. Sir K, Bernardo, Jack, Badger and Sloth have been additionally there however there was once one more that amazed them even more.

It used to be a female who was once sat down by Sir K's side. Ray had a familiar feeling when searching at her however couldn't pretty put his finger on it, until.

"Mother!" Martha shouted.

When Ray's eyes met with the female sat down next to Sir K, he knew he had viewed her before. Her identify was once Ann Woodhock. The first time he had met her was once when he and Gary were being escorted out of their village. Ann was once an adventurer who had requested for the knights assist down the foggy path at that time.

Martha calling out to her mother managed to jolt Ray's memories. The issue used to be she wasn't a knight of Avrion, so Wilfred or the others need to have used some sought of a technique to sneak her in, Ray thought.

Although Martha desired to trap up with her mother, the ecosystem in the room wasn't proper and she knew something was once up.

Wilfred waited for all of us to be seated earlier than he commenced to speak.

"I'll begin by using telling you all this assembly is being mentioned in absolute secrecy and not a phrase of this can get out to anyone."

Everyone at the spherical desk nodded earlier than Wilfred continued.

"This assembly had to be made due to the fact as you can also comprehend there are some people at the Academy that cannot be trusted. The grasp knights right here alongside with Von, discussed who we should have confidence in the academy and that led us to all of you."

Wilfred then took a deep breath.

"My scouts have informed me that the Shadow plague is on its way to Avrion academy. We at the Academy are protected however I worry for the surrounding towns and villages."

The college students started out to suppose of their families that lived close by while an photo of Candy and Tuffy regarded in Ray's head.

"Our military has been spread skinny as we have despatched support to the Alure kingdom to battle the Shadow plague on the the front line and we have additionally determined to send any other military to engage with the shadow plague before they reach the villages and cities however these armies are small in size,? I'm afraid they will only be sent out to delay the shadow plague and no longer defeat it."

"Why cannot we send a stronger Army to defeat them?" Garry said.

"Do you remember the mysterious man who attacked Ray?" Wilfred replied. "That man was once any individual who is acknowledged as a real infected. They have the ability to cowl their bodies in shadows, making it nearly not possible to hurt them. Our Army so a ways hasn't been able to defeat a single true infected."

Everyone's eyes opened up large as they heard Wilfred say these words. They had all heard memories of how robust a authentic contaminated used to be however idea they were really exaggerated. For the first time, they were being told that no one had ever even defeated one before.

"This information, of course, has been kept from the public as to not cause panic, the human beings have to believe we can win the battle against the Shadow plague." Wilfred then sat down in his seat as Ann stood up.

"My name is Ann and I am an Adventurer that has been employed by way of Wilfred to look at the assassin that tried to take the students existence recognised as Ray. We had been capable to track the murderer to a certain location. To a cave placed on a mountain simply in the back of the academy."

Monk then stood up in his seat like a bullet.

"Isn't that the cave that leads to the divine being! Is it safe!"

"I have long past to check on the divine being and it is flawlessly excellent for now," Wilfred replied. "The divine being's power is that of light which is the opposite of the shadow. Infected will locate it challenging to get shut to the divine being."

"I think you are underestimating the Shadow plague," Gary interrupted. "Jasmine used to be proper subsequent to the divine being and was once still being controlled."

Then for the first time in the whole meeting, Slyvia stood up.

"That's why I counseled we invite all of you. Not solely are you sincere however you are some of the strongest knights that the academy has ever seen." The centre of the round desk all at once began to shine and a 3D hologram regarded of the city.

"There are currently two approaches to get to the Divine being, the Red door and the cave in the mountain. The format is two groups will enter the mines under from these two entrances. This way the Infected has no way to escape. The plan is either to catch the infected or discover a way to kill it. This way we can analyze how to deal with a authentic infected and send the facts to the Army."

Sir K then stood up to speak.

"The first team shall be led with the aid of me and the black sashes, we shall be entering thru the cave where the Shadow contaminated was once remaining seen. This potential the crew will consist of Myself, Ray, Gary, Monk and Kyle. When leaving the city, we must not be seen, this is the herbal Job of the black sashes."
