84 Mercenary Headquarters Branch. (1/2)

When Ozul had been attacked, Blaze wanted to make a move. But Raven held him back since Ozul had told her that there is danger, it was not something they should be careless about.

While when Ozul was just walking towards Clara, he had noticed the overwhelming emotions that she directed towards him, but no one knew that he could sense emotions, so he just had to act like he saw nothing.

He had seen the same emotions from other women too, and he just dismissed them as her admiring him. However, he could not guess how much of an annoyance this would cause him in the future.

He had also noticed how the girl was about to run after him, so he increased his pace, making Raven and Blaze wonder what had happened. But they dismissed this as Ozul trying to avoid the trouble of going through the questioning.

After walking for about a minute, they had already left the commotion behind them. The trio also noticed city guards rushing towards that site.

It seemed that security was tight around the city since only a minute had passed, and the guards were already on the location.

This efficiency just displayed the disparity between any other cities and the Capital city of Silverbird Kingdom.

Walking a little further, Ozul saw the big three-story tall building with a sign on the front that announced that this was one of the Headquarters of the Mercenary Guild.

The Mercenary Guild was not limited to the Silverbird Kingdom; they had their main Headquarters somewhere else while branch headquarters were settled across different nations.

This branch's head was only a Rank-8 Mage. But it was rumored that the most powerful person in the Mercenary Guild was not a Rank-9, but a Rank-10 entity!

Hence even when they had set their branch Headquarters across the continent, the leading person that was stationed was never better than the Monarch of that said nation.

This move of the Mercenary Guild had made everyone in the continent know that they would remain neutral.

The trio did not waste any more time and just entered through the front door. They had already seen many Mercenaries roaming around the area.

Silver Rank Mercenaries were a common sight while they could also occasionally see the Gold Rank ones.

Once they entered the Guild building, everyone was busy with their tasks, and no one had the time to care about the new faces. It seemed that people here were even more efficient than in other cities.

This sight made Ozul feel a little better as he observed everyone on the 1st floor.

As usual, there was a big board that had many documents pinned on them while a bartender stood behind the bar. However, this time, the bartender was just serving the drinks while a female worker acted as the guide.

The atmosphere also wasn't as loud as it was in the branch of Sester city. Maybe it was because a Rank-8 Mage looked over everyone? Ozul did not dwell on these questions for long and went straight towards the female staff that had short blonde hair while she also wore glasses.

The trio noticed that she was probably around a Rank-5 Mage too. No matter what your Rank as a Fighter is, if you're not a Mage, you will probably be put in the bottom of the hierarchy.

So people with essential positions are always Mages.

When the trio came before the counter, the woman with the glasses looked up from her documents, and her cold face instantly melted when she looked at Blaze.

”H-how can I help YOU?!”- It seemed that the woman lost her cool and shouted out loud.

Only when everyone on the first floor had their attention towards them did the woman realize her blunder and put her hands on her mouth while looking down embarrassedly.

Most men who looked at the woman's blushing face started glaring daggers at Blaze, who was unperturbed by the events.

'This woman has not even looked at Master, hmph!'

Blaze only had contempt for this woman while everyone else was thinking of how smug this cyan haired man would be feeling right now since he was able to make even the stone-faced Lucy blush!

Ozul's face was indeed covered with the pointed hat which he had created after the earlier incident of assassination.

After a few seconds, everything calmed down while people only talked in whispers about this incident.

”Pst... did you see that? Lucy blushed!”

”Of course, I saw that you idiot! How could I miss it when everyone else did not?!”

”Hmph! We can't be sure that Lucy blushed because of that guy!...”
