After that, we returned to the Adventurer’s Guild without incident.
“P-please wait a moment!”
The receptionist, who received the report from Gain, hurriedly ran to the back. She returned after a while and then we were led to what appeared to be a reception room. There were several men and women waiting there.
One of them, an elderly man, opened his mouth when he saw us enter.
“I’ve heard the report. It looks like it was quite grave.”
“Yes, Guild Leader.”
Apparently, he is the head of this adventurer’s guild.
“Guild Leader…… This city is ruled by the Adventurer’s Guild…. then, he’s the one in charge huh.”
“Mmm. Equal to the lord.”
Anje and Fana exchanged words in a whisper.
“I see…… He’s petite, but he has a great presence…… As expected, he’s on a different level compared to Dorje.”
“Of course it’s different. The guild leader here is a former S-rank adventurer.”
Compared to Dorje, who was the guild leader in Volante, he is quite small, and his physique is not much different from Fana. However, his ability is in an order of magnitude higher. Of all the humans I’ve encountered since my reincarnation, he is probably by far the strongest. Then there’s the young man next to him. Even though he looked like a young man, he is probably a half-elf, so his actual age is much older. He also seems to be quite capable.
As I was thinking about this, the young man looked at me and Fana and his eyebrows furrowed. His expression seems to be asking, “Why bring a baby here?” ……Since he already thought that way, I acted like a baby and spoke “Auu-ah-”.
“That’s the one you caught then. Mordea, please.”
“Leave it to me.”
Apparently, the half-elf young man was named Mordea. Emily secretly told me from the side, “He is the deputy guild leader.”
As he approaches the man we have captured, Mordea casts his magic on him. The man who had been tensing his body for a while now as he was wondering what will happen to him suddenly became dull, as if he had lost his soul.
I see, it’s confession magic.
Mordea spoke,
“Alright, once I ask, you answer the question. What is your name and age?”
“My…… name is …… Dill…… Thirty-one years old….…”
With blank eyes, the man answered as he was asked.
“Dill, thirty-one years old huh. So, what is your occupation?”
“Former …… Adventurer ……”
“Hmm, a former adventurer. By the way, what is your rank?”
“B-Rank ……”
If the content of his confession is true, it seems that this man was originally an adventurer.
“Why did you stop being an adventurer?”
“I…. got into a fight with the client…… I almost killed him…… then…… I was expelled..…”
It’s not a mild reason. However, adventurers are all people with blood in their hands, and in my previous life, I feel that even if an adventurer almost killed his client, he would have been allowed to go free with a fine or a demotion.
As he listened, Mordea kept an eye on a staff member nearby. Presumably asking him to check the data of the previous adventurers, the staff member hurriedly leaves the room.
“Well, then…… What are you doing now?”
When Mordea questioned him to get to the heart of the matter, the man readily confessed.
“I’m now a member of…… Anti-Adventurer Guild Organization…… called Rebellion……”
An Anti-Adventurers Guild called Rebellion huh.
“Tsk…… After all, it’s them….…”
“What are they trying to do again……?”
I had no idea what they were talking about, but judging by the reactions of the others present, it seemed that they had guessed who’s behind the incident beforehand.
“What is that anti-adventurer guild organization?”
“As the name suggests, it is a dark organization that has rebelled against our Adventurer’s Guild.”
It was Gain who answered Anje’s question.
“It was formed by former adventurers who have a grudge against the guild, they not only interfere with the guild’s activities, but have also victimized a number of active adventurers in the past.”
It seems to be quite a radical organization. They took advantage of this exam and tried to wipe out the examinees all at once and they may even have a very strong grudge against the examiner.
“Do they have a grudge against the guild?”
“This city is called a sanctuary for adventurers, but until just a few years ago, it was just a rough place, with criminals roaming around as they like and killing was a common occurrence.”
Fana tilted her head, and the guild leader explained it to her directly.
“But after I became the guild leader, I thoroughly eliminated those people, and even after that, I mercilessly expelled those who were deemed unfit to be adventurers…… Thanks to that, things have gotten much better. But…the number of people who have that in their roots has also increased.”
It seems that such people have formed a clique called the anti-adventurer guild organization, “Rebellion”.
