I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 23: The Little Rookie

"Helena, the first-floor officer is facing the Chairman." Helena came bearing the badge that the Mavis group gave her with a look of wonder.

She had not expected that when she returned to the room and faced the leader of the first floor - who was her own father - would end up like this. Helena had no idea that her father would believe her easily on the badge she thought was fake. To the extent that he brought Helena to the guild leader.

"Someone came and gave this badge to Helena." The middle-aged man who was beside Helena grabbed the three badges from Helena's hands and handed them over on the table. His face was solemn and he stared at the head of the adventurer guild as if confirming that truth.

Helena's father was named Stronoff. He was the leader of the first-floor attendant, while the old man before him was Old Man Sigurd. He was the head of the adventurer guild and was an old friend of the previous king-father of King Cornelius.

Carefully, Old Man Sigurd held the badge one by one with trembling hands. His heart was pounding, his eyes were bulging and his forehead was wrinkling. A strange smile and complicated expression appeared shortly after.

He was clearly surprised.

"How can you?"

"Red Badge?"

"Even Purple?"

Old man Sigurd tried to calm himself. He put the badges on the table and said, "Call the people who carry these badges."

"If lucky, they could have been children or students of the masters of the previous owners of the badge. Another possibility is that they just got it by chance this treasure."

Old Man Sigurd laughed happily. It's like nostalgia in memory of his childhood. Just then he remembered clearly idolizing an adventurer with a red badge on his shirt. A strong and brave man, also a man who once made himself so interested in becoming an adventurer.

Soon Mavis and the others were courteously escorted to Sigurd's Old Man's office. With a face full of anticipation Mavis went inside and took a sitting position on the sofa.

While the Mavis group walked up and took their respective positions, Old Man Sigurd who was sipping warm tea choked instantly. As both of his beads widened his eyes stared at the figure that was behind Mavis. He almost had a heart attack! His lips were wrinkled, he was at a loss for words.

"Sir?" Helena's father who was now standing in the back corner of the old man said slowly. While her son-Helena focused on observing Mavis' group with a wary look.

The female officer was clearly in disbelief and still thought the group before her was a con man. He was waiting for the right time as they unmasked him to prove that! That's how he thought it.

The next minute Old Man Sigurd said, "Sorry..." He immediately regained consciousness and cleaned up the remaining tea water as a result of him choking.

Then with a joyful smile Old Man Sigurd looked back at the man. And he was about to say something, but the figure suddenly looked back at him with a dissatisfied face.

"Hey Old Man, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me in such a weird way?"

That man is Ozzi.

"Sorry..." Old Man Sigurd became more sensitive and laughed out loud, he could not let out his tears.

"What's wrong with this Grandpa" said Ozzi.

"That's because of your ugly face." Akio said elegantly.

"You..." Ozzi growled and was about to spit out a swearing oath to Grandma Akio, but he regained his composure after he looked towards Mavis. He could not make his master that upset again!

Mavis just silently watched Old Man Sigurd. Quite wary, because he didn't know who the old man was. However, what was clear was that he was definitely an influential person within this adventurer guild.

And what exactly was the purpose of the old man calling them?

"Because ..."

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sigurd Yama. I am the head of this royal adventurer guild. The adventurers used to call me Old Man Sigurd."

"Since Old Man Sigurd has taken his time meeting with us, is there anything important to talk about?" mavis said with a serious face.

"Oh calm down, I just want to chat with you guys. That's if you don't mind."

"We refuse to do that" Ozzi said.

"Sir..."

"What's wrong with you, Senior? Why are you in such a hurry to leave after seeing this little brother?" Old Man Sigurd laughed.

That left Ozzi and the others wondering. What happened to this grandpa? Did he take any medicine?

"Sir, are you having a fever? Looks like you need a break, let me drop off." Stronoff who felt strange about the behavior of the chairman immediately walked over and was about to embrace the old man to leave. But he refused it.

"Wait a minute. I'm fine." He put Stronoff's hand away and went back to sipping his already cold tea. "Oh yeah, Stronoff, and you're Helena, you can wait for me outside. There's something important I want to let you know with these guests."

"Good."

Stonoff nodded and greeted before leaving. Not to forget, he dragged Helena along with him.

"Dad, is it harmless to leave the chairman with those people?" Helena still did not want to be taken out.

"What do you need to worry about? Did you forget? Our guild master is also an adventurer with a blue badge." Stronoff whispered it into his daughter's ear.

"But Father, the chairman's condition ...."

"Here you are, you are thinking too much about things that are not really necessary. You better get back to your job." Stronoff flipped his daughter's body and pushed her slowly.

Then she returned to her study again after making sure Helena actually returned to her workplace.

Meanwhile, in the room where the leader of the adventurer guild was, there was a gap between the Mavis group and also Old Man Sigurd.

"Do you really not remember me?" Those eyes were on Ozzi. And it made astonishment appear on the faces of Mavis and the others.

"Do you know each other?" Mavis.

"No sir, I don't know this old geezer" Akio said.

"Me too" said Giraldo and Ozzi.

"I'm a little sad you didn't recognize me. I even introduced myself before."

Mavis guesses and finds out the old man meant for Ozzi. She told him in a soft tone, "He's talking to you."

"With me? My lord, I don't remember ever knowing him. After all, Sigurd's name isn't commonly used?"

"What about you Samantha?" Mavis turned to someone with this ability.

"Master, I know who he is." Samantha smiled and laughed. Then continued, "He's the only survivor after embracing the scariest demon."

"Wait.. is Sigurd your name?" Ozzi suddenly remembered the figure of a child he had met long ago while still an adventurer.

"Yes, I told you my name was Sigurd Yama. If you forget that name, you will remember the nickname you gave me, Little Rookie."

"Oh, you're Little Rookie!" Ozzi changed color from previously upset to happy. He did not expect to meet a bad boy who used to like to tease him.

"Yes, you must not have thought, right? Is this old man alive?" He laughed and coughed.

"And here I didn't expect how could Senior be as young as he used to be, while I slowly snorted?"

"I'm so jealous of you."

Mavis lost her words. How will this continue when someone from the past recognizes one of his demon servants. Especially he was the head of the adventurer guild. It would be an uproar if this news spread someone with age like Ozzi, Samantha, Giraldo, and Akio appeared fresh fit as they are now.

This is so bad!
