Chapter 1377 Adventurer Guild Investigation Team (2)
1377 Adventurer Guild Investigation Team (2)
"Do you know a good place with beautiful scenery?" On the way to the Harkon Adventurer Guild, Tang Shaoyang asked Ladirma.
Ladirma halted his steps for a second before continuing. Then he turned toward His Master to make sure that his Master was serious with the question. He soon found out that his Master was serious with the question, not just to break the tension
"I…." Ladirma was really speechless, "I don't know. I will ask people around after the meeting with the investigation team, Master."
Fortunately, His Master did not insist on finding that place right now. Worm1 was quiet as he led Tang Shaoyang to the Adventurer Guild. The Adventurer Guild's building was quite big, a four-floor building. The first floor was a big hall with a quest board and also a counter for the adventurer to accept the quest or even personal request.
But The Adventurer Guild had stopped operating after Tang Shaoyang came into the city with two offers, die or follow Worm1. More than ninety percent of adventurers agreed to be his slaves. They all signed the thirty-year contract, and the hall stopped functioning since they no longer accepted the quest.
In the middle of the hall, a group occupied a long table. Eighteen people sat around the table while the former adventurers in the hall sat on the other tables, fully surrounding the group in the middle. The tension was high as Tang Shaoyang entered the hall. It was as if a fight could break out at any moment.
Ladirma led Tang Shaoyang toward the group at the middle table, and the eighteen adventurers also looked at them.
"What's the meaning of this, Ladirma?" A bulky male with long, curly hair questioned Ladirma. He had a giant built with giant muscles. Tang Shaoyang could not help but think of the people who used steroids to gain such monstrous-looking muscle, "Didn't we tell you to bring The Harkon Guild's Guild Leader?"
He was Black Iron Adventurer, on the same rank as Ladirma. He was known as Iron Fist, someone who was known to fight with his bare hand. The vein around his eyes bulged out as he stared at Ladirma.
"There's no more Guild Leader or Adventurer Guild in Harkon City. If you are looking for the person in charge of the city. That person is me," Tang Shaoyang replied.
The eighteen adventurers were surprised at how honest Tang Shaoyang was with them. They knew there was something wrong with the adventurers in this city, but they were not expecting such a blunt answer.
"I actually have no issue with the adventurer guild, but The Temple. I am currently in a war against them. I have killed all knights, priests, and bishops of the Harmony Temple in this city along with the other five cities. I plan to leave Adventurer Guild alone, but I have no choice but to take action against them since they are interfering with my work."
Out of eighteen adventurers, seventeen of them stood up. They took that as a provocation to the Adventurer Guild. But there was one person who remained on the seat, enjoying the drink presented to him.
"You are in a war against The Temple, and yet you are not scared to touch the Adventurer Guild either. I don't know if you are brave or just a fool?"
The man had long hair, untied, and he wore a black robe. He was a sword user with the sword hanging on his waist, and he was in the position to fight anytime. While his left hand was holding a glass with the drink, his right hand was always on his sword. His name was Hardy, one of the three Black Iron Adventurers in the investigation team.
"I am neither brave nor a fool. There's no need for me to be brave just to face a bunch of adventurers like you guys. I would like to avoid the hassle of fighting you guys because my target was The Temple, but I don't mind fighting The Adventurer Guild if you keep interfering with my business. That's the message for the other adventurer guild branches. Inform them not to meddle in my business."
Tang Shaoyang tried to talk it out with the Adventurer Guild so he did not have to fight them. But he did not realize that his words sounded more like a threat than a negotiation. He was basically telling them not to butt in or he would destroy the Adventurer Guild.
"I see, you are both. A foolish person who possesses the courage to fight both The Temple and also The Adventurer Guilds. Or maybe you are a madman," Hardy let out a chuckle as he finished the drink in his glass, "I came here to investigate the situation because we suddenly lost contact with six branches in one day. But it seems you will help me to finish my work earlier."
"Yes, I killed all the adventurers in Akkon City and Turan City since they refused to cooperate with me. And I took in the adventurers who surrendered from the other four cities. That should explain everything for your investigation, no?" Tang Shaoyang smiled, "Now you have finished your task. Why don't you return and convey my message to the main branch or maybe the two God Ranks in the Adventurer Guild not to meddle with my war with The Temple? I promise you not to touch the Adventurer Guild in the following city if they agree not to interfere with my war."
"You are indeed a madman," Hardy finished his drink and stood up. His right hand rested on the sword's handle, having an amused expression while looking at Tang Shaoyang, "Our task is indeed to investigate what happened in here and the other five cities. But that's not the only task we have. If we find the problem, we have to solve the problem as well. You are the problem, so does that mean I just need to get rid of you to resolve the problem?" Hardy smiled ear to ear like a madman. He looked excited and was looking forward to the fight.
