Chapter 759
“Thank you for joining us today, Ben,” Spoke Speni, the herring-like head of the mages’ guild once he arrived and told the front desk what he was there for, being led to the guild master himself.
As promised, back when he’d completed all of the available books at the magic towers’ library, he’d come to give a talk. An event that wasn’t the best use of his time that he’d nonetheless agreed to, if only for a change of pace as much as anything else. It was just one day but it was also a unique opportunity and even if he wasn’t going to get anything significant for it, it was also a good way to spread Myriad’s name and fame just a bit more.
Of course, along with that, it never hurt to have one of the people in charge of one of the world’s major guilds viewing him positively.
Especially when I just got the head of the adventurers’ guild fired and the old head of the craftsmans’ guild is in the middle of being tortured… Huh, that means I don’t currently know who’s running either of those two guilds. Oh well, not important.
He pushed those thoughts to the side to instead focus on Speni, giving the man a smile.
“It’s my pleasure to be here, can I ask how many I’ll be talking to today?”
“About a hundred, I reached out to some the guild considers our more promising and passionate mages and while some were unreachable while many others too busy hunting down the demons, either by themselves or with different armies, I’d say we got a decent turnout.”
“Interesting, interesting. Then just out of curiosity, how promising does the guild rank me?”
The other man laughed at that. “Well, while you haven’t involved yourself with us too deeply I can at least tell you that from what we know we’ve been forced to give you a rather high evaluation. The holder of what? Two awakened magics and likely at a high level as well? Not to mention how things turned out at the library and Killi’s evaluation of you, which holds plenty of weight in these walls, you can consider yourself near the top when it comes to our registered second-tier mages.”
