The Thousand Year Dynasty
08. The Fire Star Group
"Is there some kind of Guild in Albas?" Aksa asked suddenly as they were gathering for dinner.
"What's that?" Cedrik asked, not understanding.
"Sort of a place to conduct service transactions. Such as escorting trips, delivering goods, or hunting wild animals as you do now" explained Nata later.
"Indeed a Guild does it for that Nat? Not for fighters and adventurers looking for a Quest" It sounds Aksa does not accept the expansion of Nata.
"Is it possible that you are referring to the Services Exchange Meeting Hall?" Margaret made sure. Which Nata responded with a hesitant nod.
"It's not cool, but even so let's list Nat. We list to be adventurers. Adventurer" Seen Aksa excited to hear that the organization he means is in this world.
"What's avfen?" This time Cedric asked.
"Forget over his words, Mr. Cedrik. So what is that place run by the kingdom? The nobleman? Or singles?" Ask Nata later.
Cedrik frowned at the strange question from Nata. Then hesitantly began to try to answer. "The place was managed by the kingdom but passed through an organization outside the kingdom. So they are no different from a trading group in general. They are looking for profit. Only what they manage is service. They bridge people who are looking for work with those who need workers." Cedrik closes the explanation that should have been commonly known by many people.
"Why be impressed like Jobs Street rather than a Guild in my opinion" Aksa said.
"But most of the services sought and provided are protection, security, or something that requires physical and combat capabilities" Margaret added.
"Oh so it is. Because it is engaged in the provision of security and protection services or maybe it can be called a hired soldier, it is obliged to follow the orders and requests of the kingdom if their services are needed" Nata tried to ensure the information he can.
"More or less like that. But it's not free either. The kingdom will give a gift after everything is done" Margaret replied.
"Let's list Nat" said Aksa back full of spirit with the thing to become the adventurer earlier.
"You heard the explanation? They need physical service and combat power. What are you doing? What skill do you ask? Pythagoras and Gravitasy? You want to kill a monster by making it die of confusion because of Algebra?" Nata answered while biting the meat from his fork.
"Ck, wait till I find my legend relic" Aksa's eyes are starting to get windy.
"What's? A laptop? You want to beat a beast with your laptop to death?" Reply Nat then with a look of disdain.
"Just wait for you pessimistic and pathetic young man" concluded Aksa with still not accept. And then he put the meat back in his mouth violently.
"They why? What are they arguing about?" Cedrik asked Lily when he saw Aksa and Nata's behavior.
"Already let it go, they are always like that" Lily replied, followed by a nod of agreement from the others.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted. I'm Axel. Knight is a member of the Fire Star. I wonder where you guys are from? Why does something like the meeting hall seem like you just heard it?" Suddenly a fierce-looking man with a brew that covered almost his entire face interrupted.
Hearing Axel's question made Aksa and Nata a little surprised.
"We are not from this land. We are from far across the continent" Nata immediately answered the question of the man wearing the chest and arm protection of the shiny blue.
"From a place called Earth more precisely" added Aksa later.
"I've never heard of that place"
"I've never been either"
"Indeed, the world is a very large place yes" Aksa said with a smile that he could stand.
"Your group has been doing this for a long time?" Tanya Nata then shifted the topic of conversation.
"Being a mercenary union? It may have been three years" replied Cedrik after he finished sipping water from his wooden cup.
"And the members of your group are now permanent members or only for this task?"
"Oh, who is currently our permanent member. Usually for the task of handling ferocious beasts or more dangerous mystic beasts, we will look for additional members" explained Cedrik.
"Does that mystic beast have the rank of an Ingenious master?" This time Aksa who was suddenly interested discussed the topic about the mystic beast that Cedrik had just alluded to.
"According to the standard size of the Elbrasta Royal Service Hall, the level of a savage or mystical animal is diverted from its combat power" obviously Cedrik then began to relax leaning his body on a tree far from where they eat.
"The first level is an ordinary ferocious beast. Just like the hyenas. Then the second level is a ferocious beast with a larger or stronger physique, such as Behemoth" Cedrik explained.
"I've never seen that Behemoth thing" Aksa replied quickly.
"Hope never to see it" Margaret later interrupted.
"The third one was an ordinary mystic beast, just like the Mystic Hyena earlier. Then lastly were the four mystic beasts that possessed even more powerful strength. Like Cerberus" added Cedrik.
"Yesterday's antimycores also included ordinary mystic animals" Loujze sidestepped later.
"Oh, the bush-haired lion" Aksa said, recalling the first time they met the trio.
"And from that level is determined the size of the members and the size of the prize?" Nata guess. Which was answered with a nod by Cedrik.
They continued their conversation until midnight and then rested.
