Chapter 4: New Adventurer Bern (2). The Competent Rookie
There was something one inevitably learned after spending enough time in the adventurers’ guild.
The world was filled with idiots—so staggeringly stupid that one could hardly believe they existed.
And these fools had an infuriating tendency to spout blatant lies, ones that would immediately be exposed the moment someone checked.
So when Bern first claimed to have completed his commission, Blanca had been about to laugh it off.
He looked competent enough, but in reality, he must have been another clueless rookie.
However, the moment she saw the completion token in his hand, Blanca realized this was no laughing matter.
He stole it.
Paul, the warehouse keeper, was an infamously stubborn man.
No rookie adventurer could threaten or bribe him into handing over a token.
Yet Bern was holding one.
Which meant he had somehow acquired it through illicit means.
No—if he had merely stolen it, that would have been a relief.
