Chapter 459: Trick
Once he got serious about the work, Rhodes was surprisingly efficient.
The stack of documents Makarov had dumped on them looked intimidating at first glance, but the actual workload wasn’t too bad.
Most of it was just unfiled task records, some weren’t even logged at all because the Guild Master had lazily waved them off when the jobs were accepted. Only once the missions were completed and brought back were they remembered at all.
Some of the more important papers involved money: food and drink purchases that hadn’t been properly logged, reimbursements, or advanced payments from the guild that hadn’t been written into the accounting ledger yet.
There were also new commissions that had come in that very morning, still unposted and unrecorded.
Fortunately, Rhodes was familiar with all this by now, and handling it was a breeze.
