Sword Fantasy

Chapter 6

"Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and start the meeting! Ailian, lock the door of the meeting room!" an old man said slowly.
Everyone present looked at the old man sitting in the first seat with different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking!
"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the issue of hunting monsters around the town of Mayn. Everyone, please share your opinions!" said the first old man.

"Well, let me give you a brief report. It happened a month ago. A team of novice adventurers entered the forest and disappeared. At first, no one paid much attention, thinking it was just a routine mission. A week ago, someone noticed they hadn't reported back to the guild on time. The relevant staff became suspicious and sent four search and rescue teams into the forest, but they still haven't returned to this day. Originally, the fight between adventurers and monsters didn't need to attract so much attention, until a day ago, when one of the search and rescue teams used communication magic to send back a message, which caught our attention!"

The content is as follows: Our search and rescue team has been completely wiped out. A monster with martial arts and wisdom is hunting us. I finally activated the communication magic, but it has been discovered by the enemy. I hope to let high-level adventurers come into the forest to strangle the monster! The voice ends with: "It saw me, don't come over, don't come over!" Then there was a scream and the communication was interrupted! After the narration, everyone present was silent for a long time, obviously they had fallen into deep thought. At this moment, the door of the conference room was knocked, and everyone attending the meeting looked at each other! I wondered what was wrong with the subordinates of the Main City branch. Don't they know that a high-level meeting is being held now! How can they be so ignorant, and didn't give others time to think about it! The old man who just narrated the story nodded to a girl next to him and said: "Go, I think if it's not a major matter, the staff below won't be so inconsiderate! Go and ask what's going on!"

Seeing the old man nod, the girl quickly walked towards the door. As the door opened, she saw the staff member who had just spoken with Ling Yun hurried in. He bowed to everyone present and explained, "President, a novice adventurer just brought back a monster's head. According to him, the monster with the severed head is likely the culprit for the disappearance of the five teams of adventurers!"

After hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. The old man looked around and said seriously, "Everyone, I will take care of the affairs of this branch first, and discuss it with you later!" After that, the old man asked the visitor to stand up and go into the meeting room to recount what had just happened.

The visitor explained Ling Yun's story in detail, and the old man's frown deepened as he listened. He muttered, "The gluttony magic has been reactivated."

After calming himself down, the old man turned to the important people in the conference room and said, "I'm sure everyone has heard what I said. What are your opinions? This matter is no small matter. I hope everyone can make a choice!"

"I didn't expect this! I didn't expect something so interesting to happen at today's meeting. I really want to meet that young man!" The man in the other image said with great interest.

"President of the Salona branch, that young man is an adventurer registered in your branch. I'll leave this matter to you!" said the majestic old man sitting in the first seat.

"Yes, President, I will take care of this matter!" said the president of the Sarona branch.

At this point, there was no need for a further meeting, and everyone released their communication spells! Meanwhile, in the presidents' offices of the various branches and the headquarters, everyone's expressions varied: some excited, some silent! Someone quickly ordered someone to begin investigating Ling Yun's past!
Let's turn our attention back to the Adventurer's Branch of Main City! I waited downstairs for almost an hour before the staff member came back and brought me a message! Specifically, "The bounty for 5 goblins will be paid to me normally after confirmation, but the monster head I brought back needs to be submitted to the president for personal review! After the review, I will be paid 10 gold coins as a reward!" Everyone was shocked when they heard that they would give me 10 gold coins. Could it be that the difficulty of hunting this monster has reached A-level difficulty? Normal bounties are also divided into levels from the lowest difficulty to the highest difficulty: "D-level, C-level, B-level, A-level. This is already the most difficult task below the heroic level. I didn't expect this new kid to have such strength! It's really impressive!"

At this point, our protagonist Ling Yun clearly hadn't realized this yet. "Is this true? Then when can you give me the money?" My stomach started growling as soon as I finished saying this. Everyone was silent at first, then burst into laughter! Looking at everyone's happy faces, I scratched my head a little embarrassedly! I explained, "Sorry, I was hungry right after the battle, and when I came back, I realized I had no money and no food. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

The clerk smiled helplessly. "That's what I was thinking! A powerful person like you would care about the bounty of five goblins. It turns out you've been starving all this time! If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a meal!"

To be honest, I was almost moved to tears when I heard him say this. I grabbed his hand and said, "Brother! You are really a good person! By the way, let's be friends! What's your name?" I asked the other person's name while thanking him excitedly!
The man's face twitched after hearing this! He thought to himself, if I don't treat you to a meal, we can't even be friends! But then my words made him give up his previous idea!
"I'm really sorry. I was so hungry and had no money to eat, so I was embarrassed to ask you this! I'm really sorry for giving you a bad impression!" I said sincerely.
"Forget it. There are always some embarrassing things in life! Besides, now that we have talked about it, oh, by the way, my name is Bob and I am the person in charge of the guild window. Please take care of me in the future!" Bob said generously.
Before I could say anything else, Bob took me to a quiet place to sit down and ordered a roast chicken and a steak. My drink was hawthorn juice. Looking at the food in front of me, I quickly started eating and drinking! It wasn't long before I had devoured everything in front of me! I even burped! Seeing how fast I was eating, Bob quickly reminded me to "be careful not to choke!" If there wasn't enough, there would be more. Honestly, I don't know why this roast chicken smelled so good. Maybe it was because I'd been hungry for so long!
