Chapter 585 - Top powers gathering in mercenary guild (1) (1/2)
Inside the mercenary guild,
All the main hall of the mercenary guild was completely filled with the leaders of the top powers of the Zrochester province.
From the royal family, the King Stephen Draton along with commander Reid and his old minister sat opposite the guild master.
As for the side, it was filled with the guild master's old friend towards his end and at the king's end, the chairs on the long table were occupied by the sect leaders of the fire sword sect and the assassin sect along with the family heads of the five great families.
And the remaining chairs were filled with the two or three elders from each of the top powers of the Zrochester province.
”Guild master, how have you been?”
Even though the hall was completely filled, it was completely silent and no one even dared to whisper with one other.
The silence was broken by the King as he asked the guild master.
”Just healing my mercenary guild from the betrayals of the top powers,”
There was no expression on his face as the guild master replied to King Stephen.
”...”
Including the King, the rest of the people in the hall were speechless by the words whereas the guild master's friends were withholding their laughter.
”I will not waste any more time as I have enough things to worry about,”
The sect leader of the Assassin sect, Gerg said in a hurried tone.
He was very thin with wrinkles all over his face and he looked just like a skeleton.
Moreover, his wrinkled face was pale as though he was worried about something.
”What happened to you Sect leader Gerg? You look like you are horrified by something,”
Looking at Gerg's face, the guild master asked him regarding his health condition.
”Nothing. I am very sorry for not sending the reinforcement when you need them. As a compensation, I will give you a rank 5 medicinal herb 'Fatigue bay leaf',”
He shook his head as he apologized to the guild master as he took out a jade box and opened it.
”Fatigue bay leaf?”
”Looks like the assassin sect really wants this thing to be over soon,”
”Maybe, they really have other problems at hand. I wonder what troubled them, the great top sect of the Zrochester province,”
When they saw the item inside the jade box, everyone was shocked and started muttering to one another regarding the assassin sect.
”Sect leader Gerg, are you really sure you want to gift the ingredient for the bravery of the mercenary guild?”
The guild master didn't take the jade bok from Gerg's hands, instead, he changed the earlier words of the assassin sect leader and asked him.
