25 Adventurers Guild pt 2 (1/2)
Alex less up the stairs to the top floor. She practically dragged up up them, her eyes had a determined look as she basically pulled my arm off. This dainty looking cat girl actually had a lot of strength.
I did not get to see the other floors of the guild as we traveled directly to the top. When we arrived the top floor reminded me of an office building, with rather large cubicles inhabited by Strange goo-like creatures with four tentacles busily writing on their desks. Alex noticed my curiosity and explained.
”They are a special evolution of slimes that our guild discovered. They have no combat ability, and were being used by a group of orc bandits to the north as slave labor. A B ranked party managed to free them and brought them here. They are highly intelligent and quickly found jobs at the guild as intellegence sorters.”
I nodded, as I had already gained the necessary information from the [Monster Encyclopedia]. The more I used the book the more magical it seemed. It apparently updated itself on it's own, its pages always growing. It was by pure chance that I had encountered this book, and felt blessed for having done so.
She eventually led me to a corner office and knocked on the door. We waited for almost 15 minutes before the door opened. A beautiful woman answered the door. I immediately recognized her, even though she had gained a bit of weight. Her blond hair shined in the light, and her blue eyes seemed to have lost their dead like look. She looked at Alex with a confused look before her eyes landed on me.
Her face showed a look of shock that quickly disappeared. ”So you managed to Evolve Yuri. I'm not surprised at the outcome. How could The goblin demigod not curse you after what you did. It is surprising that you managed to obtain a blessing though, and something that is in between.”
I nodded at her ”It had been an interest couple of months to say the least. I will have to trouble you though I am in need of your help with something.” I spoke as I exposed the wound on my abdomen.
Laurel gasped as she looked at the wound. I could sense a surge of mana as she pressed her hand against my wound. I could feel the warm flow of wood energy entering my wound as it slowly started to heal. She looked out of breath after casting the magic, but had a look of satisfaction on her face.
”This is the best healing spell I know. I'm not a priest, though a priest wouldn't be able to heal you anyways even if they were willing... It will spread up the process, it will still take you a couple days to get back into tip top shape.”
She paused as she looked me over. ”Come in and sit, tell me about your adventures.” She glanced at Alex. ”You can come in as well, she will need a partner and you're currently free.”
A look of excitement crossed Alex's face ”You mean it? I've been forced to work behind that desk for the last 2 months Even though I'm of legal age to be an adventurer!”
