Chapter 32 - My guild advisor is an werewolf!?
Although Noah wanted to find a place to do morning exercises to adapt to his physical strength after receiving the Falna, most of the area of the Twilight Manor was occupied by the eight towers, leaving the atrium pitifully small.
At this time, most of the Familia members were still sleeping, and Noah didn't want to disturb anyone.
Noah looked around and subconsciously turned to the north, where he saw the towering white city walls. As a defensive structure built against monsters from the Dungeon, the city wall was essentially a huge circular fortress with various facilities inside.
Its height was second only to the central Babel, and the passage on top was so spacious that several carriages could pass side-by-side. In addition, it was very close to the Twilight Manor. Noah could hardly think of a better place for morning exercise.
However, the city wall was designed for defense. Although it was no longer primarily used against monsters, it posed a potential threat to the city itself, not to mention that Evilus was lurking in Orario now. Even Noah could figure out that if the city walls were filled with explosives, or even just occupied by archers with magic swords, they could pose a threat to the entire city from a high position.
The Ganesha Familia, known as the "police of the City," and the Astraea Familia, known as the "Familia of Justice," were stationed at the foot of the city wall year-round and patrolled the wall once in the morning and once in the evening to ensure it wasn't occupied.
It seems I'll need to find an opportunity.
Time passed quickly. Along with the still somewhat dazzling sunlight, the sound of a large bell ringing from the east side spread throughout the city. The Twilight Manor quickly became busy.
Although Noah's cooking skills were recognized, no one wanted him to take on that as a Familia responsibility, including himself. After all, once a hobby becomes a job, you quickly lose interest.
After finishing breakfast, Noah followed Riveria out of the Twilight Manor and headed towards Northwest Main Street.
Northwest Main Street is often referred to as Daedalus Street, where the largest number of adventurers and adventurer-related businesses gather. This included the Guild Headquarters, as well as numerous weapon shops, item shops, inns, pharmacies, and treatment centers that catered to adventurers.
Various mysterious shops were also hidden in the back alleys.
Noah's task today was to get a basic understanding of Daedalus Street. In addition to registering at the Guild, he also had to visit some of the Familias that had cooperative relationships with the Loki Familia to show his face.
Nine o'clock in the morning was the peak time for adventurers entering the Dungeon, so the avenue was crowded. But whether they were demi-humans carrying claymores, elven archers holding bows, or supporters carrying huge backpacks, they all cast complex glances at the high elf and Noah, mixed with awe, envy, and curiosity.
Under the gazes of many, Noah and Riveria passed through the courtyard with its exquisite reliefs and monuments and entered the Guild, built with white columns.
The first thing that caught the eye was the conspicuous reception area. Not far away was a huge quest board and a magic stone exchange counter.
However, contrary to Noah's expectations, although it was early, the exchange counter was already crowded with adventurers, blocking the way.
After hearing arguments like "Get out of the way!" and "We have to go to the Dungeon later," Noah understood.
The thinking was probably, "Only idiots would go exchange magic stones in the afternoon when it's crowded. Smart people go the next morning! This way, you can use the money directly to buy things and avoid wasting it at the pub or entertainment district."
The result was that there seemed to be too many "smart" people.
There was a similar situation where quite a number of adventurers didn't exchange their magic stones at the Exchange Post on the third floor of Babel after leaving the Dungeon but came specifically to the Guild Headquarters to exchange them.
Walking to the front desk, Noah noticed that although the clerks were of different races, they were basically all beautiful women.
Wearing Guild uniforms, they appeared intelligent and beautiful, blooming like bright flowers among the rough adventurers.
Riveria raised her hand and greeted a red-haired werewolf who was staring blankly with her hand on her cheek. "Good morning, Rose."
The werewolf clerk raised her head lazily and glanced at Riveria, much like a domestic cat basking in the winter sun. "Welcome, Lady Riveria Ljos Alf, Vice-Captain of the Loki Familia. What may I do for you today?"
Noah first felt the werewolf's gaze linger on him for a moment, and then he noticed that the corners of Riveria's eyes seemed to be twitching.
"Rose, when will you stop greeting me like this?"
"It all depends on the Guild manual. When they aren't threatening us with salary cuts, we have to address the major Familias this way."
"Haven't you always said you wanted a relationship? No one would dare approach you if you're so lifeless."
These two have a good relationship if they can argue like this.
Just as Noah was thinking this, the red-haired werewolf raised her hands and stretched. "I may not be as good as you, the high elf royal who makes goddesses jealous, but I do have my own strengths."
The tight uniforms accentuated the female clerks figures. When she stretched, her shirt bulged prominently at the chest, the buttons looking like they might burst at any time.
Yes, it was indeed an advantage. Compared to Riveria, who exuded an intelligent, brave, and almost sacred aura, even the red-haired werewolf clerk, who was already considered beautiful, looked second at best. However, only in terms of breast size, Rose was superior to Riveria.
Noah's unwavering gaze seemed to have attracted the werewolf's attention. "Hey, brat over there, do you like watching that much?"
Noah tilted his head, a hint of confusion in his blue eyes. "If you mind others seeing, why do you do it in public?"
The werewolf clerk narrowed her eyes, her gaze becoming somewhat hostile. "Your tone is just like that girl of yours. So annoying."
Riveria sighed and bowed her head to the clerk. "Ais has caused you trouble. I have already punished her. I apologize."
"...Huh. So, this mature-looking young man is also your rookie?"
"Yes, please register him."
Although the Guild employee seemed a little difficult to approach, she was surprisingly efficient. Perhaps her indifference was necessary for the job of an Advisor.
After all, the job required contact with many people, and sometimes unnecessary enthusiasm only caused trouble.
Noah took the form and wrote down his information with a quill.
