Chapter 50 Personal Request.
The tense atmosphere in the room dispersed like a fleeting mist when the Guild master bowed his head in front of Silvia. He lowered his gaze, and his demeanor changed in seconds.
"Raise your head, I came here just to accompany my guest, so...".
Silvia’s clear voice cut through the tension, dismissing the need for further formality. The guild master lifted his gaze, turning to the boy beside her.
His brows furrowed as he wondered who this boy was standing so casually beside Lady Silvia’s presence. As someone who lives in Duke territory, he is aware of Silvia’s identity and the position she held.
He also heard a strange rumor about her being unrivaled in swordsmanship. However, the news was soon dismissed, for it had nothing to do with the Adventure Guild, so he never had a chance to meet the person mentioned, and yet she was present in the flesh currently.
"I understand then. I will take up on your offer." The man straightened up and stared at Lady Silvia for a while before focusing on the boy. "I’ve never seen you around here, boy. Who are you?".
"My name is Jin". Jin summons his guild card and shows it to the man, "I am registering as an Adventurer with the Guild in Viscount Midnight territory".
The Guild master’s brows twitched upon hearing the word Viscount Midnight territory. That place was neighboring one of the most dangerous places on the continent, the Dark Forest.
As a former adventurer, he is aware of what kind of place that town is. He also has his fair share of activity exploring the eerily dark forest, which has a high death risk the further he goes inside.
There was a never-ending monster ambush, and the surrounding area seemed to have a will of its own, creating a living maze that couldn’t be cracked no matter how experienced he was. Until this day, he had not heard any news of an explorer who went inside to return in one piece, leaving only fleeting names.
The man exhaled straight, shaking his head to clear away his thoughts. The man’s gaze swept over Jin, observing him from head to toe. An Invisible pressure crept over his skin; it was as sharp as the edge of the blade, sending shivers down his spine. ’This boy is not normal...’
