I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 400 - Eliante

It's been 10 minutes since Steria left for a guild master

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum … (Fran) t/n eating sounds

- Ummm … Of course, I may not understand something, but How this place turn into a dining room? (Master)

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum … (Fran)

A woman came up to the table where Fran was having so called the tea break. She was a woman of a who look like cold beauty, with an intelligent look. Her blue hair was styled into a tall hairstyle to complete her strong woman image. The first thing I thought about when I saw her was "A secretary from some big company."

She looked at Fran somewhat shocked, and there was not a shadow of a smile on her face. It was the opposite , it seemed that she was very unhappy. She was that the type of person whose smile does not look natural, but rather scary .

Although on surface she looked in her 20- years old, but it was clear from her eyes that she was not human. Her sclera were black and her pupils were green. Exactly the same distinctive features that were in that half-insect alchemist that we met in Balbor, Eugene. Only Eugene had antennae, and this woman did not.

It must be because Eugene belonged to the family of semi-insect bees, and this woman was something else.

Since she was not a purebred person, we could not just by eye determine her real age by her appearance. After all, Eugene, although he looked 40 years old, was actually almost 60. Given this, I would not be surprised if this woman was about forty years old.

No doubt she knew how to fight. She was also an influential person. Since Fran was focused on food and the woman showed no hostility, Fran did not notice her until she got close enough.

- Nn? What are you? (Fran)

“You are the Princess of Black Lightning, right? I'm the guild master ( guild master)

So it was the guild master. The next moment, the woman sat down in a chair, facing Fran. When she reached out to grab the cookies, Fran didn’t stop her.

However, she watched the guild masterclosely until she touched the cookie, because if she chose curry or pancakes as her target without showing her true level of power, Fran would see it as a threat. Considering that she still has little control over her skills, if she had used "Royal Suggestion" here, then she would probably have caused a rustle. I would have had to calm Fran down as strong as I could.

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum. … my name is …

- Well, no need to talk with full mouth .(Guild master

- Nn.

I did not expect such a kind tone from her. Maybe she has such a scary expression by nature? Finally finishing with her food, Fran introduced herself to the woman again.

- My name is Fran, i am C rank adventurer.(Fran)

“I am the head of the Capital Adventurers Guild, Eliane.(Eliane)

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum.(Fran)

- Actually, I was hoping that we would talk in my office …(Eliane)

The guild master inviting us to her office ? And she is easy-going.

But it seems that they simply did not have enough people.

- At this time, the guild staff is busy preparing for the auction, so there are no free hands at all. Steria cannot go anywhere, because she may need to deal with a high-ranking client.(Eliane)

Eliante said this while looking at Fran's meal.

- even though I also have no free time …(Eliane)

Sorry. I am already finishing (Fran)

- Oh, okay. You don't have to rush … (Eliane)

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum … (Fran)

She Is that really kind? Although her Face is still the same scary , but maybe she really has it by nature . Leaning relaxed on her elbows, Eliante ate the cookies, and now she seemed even softer than before.

passed 20 minutes .

- So, let's continue the conversation.

We have moved to Eliante's office. Well, there was a mess. This is not what I expected from Eliante, the "strong woman". Piles of documents were everywhere, clothes were scattered here and there.

It takes incredible power to move around this room. Perhaps this is already the standart for her, and she has lost sensitivity to the state of her office.

- Yeah. I would like to participate in an auction.(Fran)

- as the seller? Buyer? Or maybe both?(Eliane)

- I want to take part in the weapon auction.(Fran)

I see … I don't think you will find better equipment than the one you are wearing now. Although there are no problems with this. (Eliane)

- Also, I would like to buy magic stones.

- And there is no problem with that. It looks like there is something like a separate auction for magic stones. Do you know how an auction works?(Eliane)

- I do not know.(Fran)

Eliante immediately began to tell Fran about this.

First of all , there are many types of auctions, each specializing in a different kind of item. Nothing other than weapons and armor can be exhibited at an arms auction, and all armor and weapons must be displayed on it.

It seems that this is because there are also dangerous items at the auction, such as the cursed or with unknown abilities. Indeed, if an invaluable demonic sword with a dangerous ability gets there, then the entire capital may be thrown into chaos. Both sellers and buyers are closely monitored.

In addition, after going through managers and appraisers, almost all items can be sold at the appropriate auction.

An exception is for items brought in on the day of the auction, for which there is a separate auction. However, the check here is quite strict, and if the item looks even a little suspicious, then it will not be accepted. So, especially high-level magic artifacts and other items that are difficult to evaluate are practically not exhibited there.

- To participate, you must go through many rigorous to find.

- Find?.(Fran)

- Yes. Identity identification, criminal history, and everything like that. Weapons, armor, and magic stones can be especially easily associated with crimes. But it is relatively easy for adventurers to qualify for participation. That is, it should not be difficult for us to issue an identity card for you to participate in all auctions on behalf of the guild.(Eliane)

- So it is possible?(Fran)

- If something happens, then the responsibility will be on Gamudo, who wrote the letter of recommendation.(Eliane)

This means that our inappropriate behavior can bring problems to Gamudo.

“Besides, without even counting all these recommendations from Gamudo, I would like to forge a good relationship with you.(Eliane)

As she said this, Eliante smiled slyly. However, it was more like she was plotting something, but such grin of some tomboy confessing to a prank.

- Haha. But there are not many women among the high-ranking adventurers. Not to mention a talent like yours. Not that there are none at all, but definitely the adventurer's world is inhabited by men. Almost all guild masters are men. When I decided to become the head of the capital's guild, such a loud noise arose from all sorts of folks . But I shut them all up.(Eliane)

That is, she would like to make friends with women who share the same job as her. Indeed, the vast majority of high-level adventure seekers are male. Dzyan, King of Beasts, Arslars, Forund, Colbert. Guild master and former high-level adventurers are all male too: Krimt, Gamudo, Diaz, Fermus.

Among women of high rank, I can only remember Amanda and Eliante. Mea and Kiara, if they were adventurers, would not have pulled up to a high rank. Elsa … In general, I will consider a man.

“Because of this idiot Serudio, the number of female guild master has decreased significantly, and therefore I accept any active adventurer like you with open arms.(Eliane)

Diaz talked about female guild leaders that, under the influence of "seduction" Serudio gave him unfair assistance and were expelled.

- If you have any problems in the capital, always come to me for advice.(Eliane)

- Nn I understand.

Although she was calculating, there was no doubt that she was genuinely worried about Fran. These words cannot be lies.

- I would not want such a promising adventurer to be troubled by any problems. The capital is still full of aristocratic fools. The time will come when the Marquis Ashton and Baron Holmes will pay for their crimes on the block …

What a horror! She also spoke the name of the Marquis of Ashton. Probably, he managed to annoy the guild of adventurers. I used Deception Control, but the words were just as true. So she really wants their heads to separate from their bodies?

- Understand ? If there is even a tiny problem, come. Got it?

Yes, she herself emphasizes this. Maybe she is familiar with the rumors about Fran? Well, I can't say that we haven't had any problems yet. And her tone was quite serious.

If something happens in the capital, then we should not hesitate to rely on her.
