Chapter 919 - 919. The Escort
"Why is it every time I need to report that they are arguing?" Markus Raven seemed to be the unlucky noble that happened upon the king and queen every single time this issue came up. He had been focused on solidifying the financial affairs after the Pride demon had attacked. The work had been harsh on the treasury but he had completed it for the most part. He had even allocated funds for the field.
"My king, I apologize for interrupting." Markus walked inside the room to find the two staring daggers at each other. "The final batch of seeds arrived and was stored away for the next growing season. The quests for travel have been finalized. The adventurer groups are already being briefed for their three weeks of guard training. The special arrangements you asked of me have also been completed. I believe the Genesis city project will be well ahead of schedule by the time you arrive."
The King seemed to take this as the perfect chance to change the pace of his previous conversation. "Good to hear. You have done well. How have those demons been performing under you? Will they be ready to integrate in to Genesis? Also, the project I had you set up, did you add the requirement that open space should be left for expansions as needed?"
"Of course. The expansions were factored in to the architectural drawings. The demons have taken a great grip on funds. They seem to be even better than the apprentices that I have trained for lesser positions. I believe that I can have them ready to take over the financial wok of Genesis within a month of trade starting there." All of this made the king appear happier.
"Very good. You did very well when it came to the hardship of this previous attack and I look forward to seeing your hard work continue. Please take a few days to rest before we reach the final preparations for departure. If possible I want to be able to leave Genesis directly after the end of the summit to return here."
Markus and the entire castle already knew why the king would rush back home. It had been a sorely discussed topic the last few weeks. "Yes my king, it will be done. I thank you for the praise." He did not immediately leave like he was expected to. "My king. I believe we should expect dragons at the summit. Based on the heroes' previous actions involving the dragon that flew to the castle, it is highly likely they will appear in some form. The armor from the vault is being shined already for you."
The king brought his hand to his chin. He had also considered this possibility. "Your forethought is very good. If dragons grace us with their presence then I should look my best. Thank you. You may leave." Markus Raven took his leave while the king turned to the queen. "As I said. I will rush home no matter what. I might even be blessed with an even faster summit if the dragons come and keep others from arguing." The argument started up again causing the castle staff to avoid the king and queens' chamber for some time.
The adventurers that were taking the quest to guard the king along with the guards had been gathered in the adventurer's guild meeting room. The largest meeting room out of all of them so that all of them could meet at once.
"As you know I am Clara the current guild master. Not only will you be escorting the king and other important officials, but you will be escorting me. As much as that former guild master says he is going he can not with his health. We will all be establishing a new main branch of the adventurers' guild there."
The room was full of murmuring. None knew that the main building would be made to be the one in the new Genesis city. "Shut up! Listen closely. You are all silver tier and represent some of the strongest in the guild. Two party's here are gold tier! You are enough to show that the guild can have a main branch there. The staff is also coming. Like you they are being trained now." Clara was using a very harsh tone to be sure that every single one listened and learned.
"You will all train with the royal guards for two weeks. They will show you how to properly escort a royal. This is not a negotiable term for the job. If you decide to bail now you will leave the guild." The harsh terms did not surprise a single adventurer there. They had already signed a magic contract to keep them on the job.
"You are going to receive half of your pay now. Your equipment and other needs are on you so purchase wisely. You will also receive the proposed Genesis citizen card. It is being designed while the summit happens. It is an honor to receive it before most will. On top of this, you will all also travel with the hero party. I recommend you all make use of the free time when everyone rests. You can learn a lot. Any questions?" Clara didn't see any hands up but for one.
"Guild master, what of any monsters we defeat while guarding?"
"They are yours. Whatever party kills them keeps them. If anyone fights for them and loses sight of the quest, then they are expelled from the guild immediately. I will be there watching." There were shivers that went through the spines of every adventurer. No one had the courage to ask another question. "My secretary will answer further questions. I have work to do." Clara left for the silence of the office. She wanted to get the stressful trip on the way sooner than later.
