Half-elf Notebook

At the same time, on the other side of the city, in the Adventurer's Guild in the East District.

Rick put his hands on the double door, pushed it open and walked into the guild which looked like a bar and was quite lively.

He is very purposeful, completely different from other hunters and adventurers.

He didn't order a beer, find a place to brag, or listen to any news, nor did he even look at the board on the wall.

Just walk straight to the corner of the front desk.

And as always.

There stood a sturdy warrior in full plate armor, an independent counter, an intellectual lady and her guard.

Helya sat in her office, rubbed her fair forehead, and looked through the information provided by the client.

From time to time, he would scrawl a few paragraphs of commissioned notes on a stack of white paper placed in the middle of the desk.

The branch president’s exclusive official seal is stamped on the stacks of guild financial applications and event reports that need approval.

She frowned slightly and looked troubled by something.

Of course, it may be necessary to do both writing important commissions and approving union affairs at the same time.

For any civil servant, this is a headache.

However, this is not the problem that is troubling Helia now.

Yesterday afternoon the army paid the bounties on John Peake and Gore.

The recipient was named as Ina West.

She knew that Ina had completed the capture of the Blood Gang leader.

This will inevitably attract the attention and retaliation of the Blood Gang.

Ina's life or death will not cause any reputational loss to the guild.

But after all, he was the person Shu Xi instructed to take care of.

Even for the sake of her boss's evaluation, Helia had to do her best to consider Ina's safety.

In fact, she did.

Last night, she sent a bronze-level professional employed by the guild to the clubhouse on the pretext of urgent important work.

But the problem is that this is difficult to maintain.

Not to mention that the professionals in the guild are almost all employed.

In order to protect Ina all day, at least three mid-level bronze-level warriors are needed to take turns, which will directly put pressure on the guild members.

More importantly...she is now almost unable to deploy any more personnel.

A bronze-level adventurer, as long as he is willing to work hard and is not picky about commissions, can earn more than eighty gold coins a year.

It is the income level of the quasi-knight class.

The guild could gain their favor with an average weekly salary of twenty-five silver dollars.

Nothing more than job freedom and security.

There are generally only three types of jobs for employed professionals:

Provide security services for the normal operation of the guild.

Teach adventurers who pay a fee and come to the guild to learn about warfare.

Complete some remaining commissions that have not been accepted for a long time.

In addition, employed professionals only need to obey the reasonable arrangements proposed by the guild and not do anything that endangers the safety of the guild.

The guild has no right to ask professionals to pay more or sacrifice their own interests to safeguard the interests of the guild.

Rather than an employment contract, it is more like a contract between partners.

However, from yesterday to today.

As the agent of the branch union, Helya has received eight leave applications from bronze-level professionals!

As long as the minimum requirements for the guild's safety and operation can be guaranteed.

Bronze-level professionals can apply for rotation breaks on their own.

In order to retain them, the guild must also approve reasonable rotation vacations.

Normally, these highly capable employees would not take the initiative to cause trouble for the guild.

But the bounty offered by the Blood Gang is enough to make people jealous.

Applying for vacation has become a competition where the sooner you act, the sooner you get it.

Come on, a bronze level is worth hundreds of gold coins!

There are not many opportunities to join forces with a few colleagues to take down a high-ranking member of the Blood Gang who is of similar strength to yourself and earn four or five years' salary.

Some have even decided where they will travel with their family next year.

If the incident hadn't happened suddenly, there would be a lot of work to do.

Helya had already reported this to Shuxi and sought a solution.

At this moment, Helia caught a glimpse of the vice president who was making way out of the corner of her eye.

She straightened her back and sat up again, displaying meticulous professionalism.

The vice president did not ask any routine questions, which showed that the visitor had a good reputation in the guild.

Rick walked around the burly warrior.

With a faint smile, he sat down opposite Helia and greeted the lady:

"Good morning, Ms. Helya."

"Mr. Rick, you're back?!"

Helya's tone was noticeably more relaxed.

Unlike Ina, whom he had only met a few times, Rick would often come to the guild to have a few drinks with President Shu Xi, or to exchange information and items.

She took it for granted that she knew him.

"You are here to ask about Miss Ina, right?"

Helia directly guessed the issue that Rick was most concerned about.

"Yes."

Rick's smile widened.

He felt relieved, knowing that he had not found the wrong place.

"Ms. Ina is currently under the temporary protection of the guild. It may be more appropriate for President Shu Xi to explain the details in person."

Helia nodded to the vice president and quickly put the documents under the counter.

He took out a plaque with white letters on a black background that read "Suspended Service".

"Let's move to the upper room."

Rick was speechless and followed behind the other party.
