Chapter 155 - 153: The Guild Master
Alex and Gracier followed the Elf receptionist toward a room where a teleportation circle was drawn on the ground.
Once they were inside the teleportation circle, Alex saw his surroundings quickly warp. This was not their first experiencing something like this hence they were not surprised.
'Way more convenient than lifts or escalators.' Alex chuckled inwardly.
Within a moment, they were already on a floor that gave off an awe-inspiring feel and looked resplendent.
A current of refreshing air wafted through Alex's senses as if he was standing near a waterfall, he felt rejuvenated. He never thought that he could experience such a clean and refreshing air inside a building. Gracier was also surprised as he was.
From the current scenery, it was as if they had appeared elsewhere not in the guild anymore.
There was even a grand balcony with an open garden that gave a good view of the imperial palace far away.
Huge bushes framed a neat field of grass. A lone ornamental piece stood in the front right, intricately designed, and was a rare sight. The rows of flowers were pride and joy within the garden, as they were very well cared for. He gazed across the wind-ruffed surface to the lily pads in bloom, their white or magenta petals catching the breeze. He inhaled slowly. Peace. There was even an apple tree.
''Beautiful,'' Gracier said no hiding how she felt after seeing such scenery.
''Indeed. I wonder how they did even build all this in a single floor?'' Alex was awed by the architecture and ambiance of the floor.
Even the seven-star hotels in his previous life couldn't match up to the grandeur and refreshing atmosphere on the floor.
It seemed like the entire floor was a dreamland, and one wouldn't even get tired of spending days on this floor.
The Elf receptionist chuckled before responding, ''Designed by the Guild master.''
Somehow she seemed proud of this. This Guild master whoever it might be, he/she was important to this Elf.
'Wait don't tell that the guild master is her? There's no way right?' Alex thought about a certain possibility, however, he dared not believe it.
While leading the way, the Elf receptionist turned towards Alex and Gracier, she said in a respectful tone, "Sorry for my late introduction. My name is Ella, I am the head Receptionist and the Guild master right hand.''
Alex was surprised hearing that she was the guild master right hand, Gracier had an incredible expression on her face,
''Why are you on the first floor then?" She asked.
Laughing Ella said, ''Well, from time to time I stay there. Today, I went there for inspection.''
''More like you were waiting for us,'' Alex said not believing in Ella's words. By now Alex had figured out the identity of this Guild master.
Ella's body stiffened, bursting into laughter she said, ''Busted. Indeed, I was waiting for you two. I was instructed to do so.''
''By the guild master isn't it?"
''Indeed.'' Ella nodded at Alex's question.
Gracier was lost in thoughts, she was also thinking about a certain possibility, somehow she had the feeling that this guild master was related or heard about them.
Alex nodded hearing Ella's answer but he didn't say anything else. They walked through the garden, they were greeted by the birds chirping, and after passing through some flowerbeds, a simple yet exquisite courtyard appeared in their sights.
In the center of the courtyard was an elegant pavilion, and in front of the pavilion stood an extremely beautiful woman, an Elf.
Her tall frame and slender body were like a Victoria secret model. Her blue eyes, like the sea, were calm and shine like the most beautiful gem. Long, wavy blonde hair, so smooth and silky, almost as if it was tailored from gold fabric. She had pastel white skin which made her beautiful pink lips stand out.
This woman's beauty made the surroundings shine brightly, for a moment Alex was smitten, however, it didn't last long as he had seen numerous beauties, even a Goddess class beauty, a pity that the latter was a black belly. As if she knew what her master was thinking, Silveria pouted. Alex stared at the woman in front of him, indeed it was her, even though she had changed.
Gracier was dumbfoundedly staring at the beauty in front of her.
''Beautiful.'' she couldn't help but mutter however she inwardly she added, 'Silveria is more beautiful, though.'
The Elf beauty lips curved upward seeing their reactions,
''Welcome, I'm Liliana Elseria L. Crawford, the Guild Master.''
''I'm Alexander Kael Touch, the little beauty on my right is my little sister, Gracier Alexandra Touch.'' Alex also introduced himself and his sister.
Gracier smiled being called little beauty, she wanted to speak however Alex was not done yet, his next words made her eyes widen.
''Well, you already know that isn't it, Leena?"
''Ehhhh?" Gracier exclaimed, even though she was thinking that the guild master may be related to them, she hadn't thought it would be an acquaintance.
''Fufufu! As expected of you boy. How did you know?" Elseria, formerly known as Leena asked, Ella was also surprised.
''It's simple, even though you have changed, there was still a little bit of the previous Leena in you, your face may change but I was able to see it. Also, when you introduced yourself your said Liliana Elseria L. Crawford, the L is for Leena. The way you looked at us when we first came was like you are seeing someone close you just parted with.'' Alex explained.
Ella was dumbfounded while she was thinking, 'To think he would analyze everything so quickly, no wonder Big sister said to never underestimate him.'
''Fufufu! I see. How is it? I bet you did not expect something like this.'' Elseria asked after inviting them to enter the pavilion.
The two followed Elseria, Ella excused herself now that her mission was done.
Alex and Gracier sat across Elseria.
''Indeed, I was not expecting something like this. I thought you would be at the best head Receptionist or the guild master right hand.'' Alex responded to her previous question.
Elseria's face twitched when she heard his words, she sighed and when she was about to speak, someone appeared, someone, she was not particularly happy to see because the latter was troublesome to deal with.
Naturally, this troublesome individual was Silveria, she appeared and immediately sat beside Elseria, slapping Elseria on the shoulder she said.
''Not bad little Leena, nah! I should I call you little Else now? Forget it. As expected of this Big sister little sister. You didn't let me down. Even if your status is not exceptional as mine it's still not bad.''
Alex rolled his eyes at Silveria's shameless words while Gracier was laughing as she had expected something like this knowing Silveria's personality.
''Little Else I'm hungry, do something about it,'' Silveria said while crossing her legs.
Alex facepalmed while thinking 'You still end up calling her Little Else.'
Gracier on the other hand was laughing hard.
Elseria was troubled, whenever Silveria was present she acted like she was her boss, she could only sigh.
If others were to the current scene, they would think that they were dreaming, one should know that her status as the Guild master of the Headquarter of the Adventurer Guild was not beneath the Emperor of the Drexia empire, in fact, it can be said it was above him, because she is the big boss of all adventurer guilds in Mystia's world, be it's on the Razen (Bestia) or Elfira, there is Adventurer Guild there. Considered her status nobody likes to mess up with her, everyone tries to curry her favor, and yet she- shaking her head Elseria flicked her fingers.
Immediately, the teleportation circle inside the pavilion glowed and two gorgeous and graceful beauties came out of it. Their beauty was not less than the receptionist on the first floor. There was one difference, though, their bearing was elegantly poised.
Alex was shocked not because of their beauty, in his opinion, Gracier was beautiful than them, was shocked him was their level, both were Rank 7, Alex saw it when he appraised them.
The most shocking fact was that those two were dressed in maid clothes. Rank 7 playing the maids, he had never expected something like this.
Gracier was shocked by the two maids' appearance, Silveria on the other hand was unbothered she was chatting with Elseria as if they were bosom friends.
The maids were shocked at the sight of smiling Elseria, their mistress was known for not smiling, she was cold toward everyone and yet currently she was smiling, if only they knew the truth. What shocked the maids the most, was the silver-haired girl's beauty, even their mistress lost her shine near her, her beauty overshadowed Elseria's beauty, without a doubt this silver-haired girl was the most beautiful girl they have ever seen.
Quickly composed themselves, the two bowed gracefully, ''Welcome honorable guests. What would you like to take?"
''A simple tea will do,'' Alex said.
''Same thing.'' Gracier also asked the same thing as her brother.
''I want Ice cream.'' Silveria stopped talking with Elseria and turned her head in the maids' direction and said.
Elseria didn't say anything as the two maids already knew what she usually takes.
The maids bowed and left using the teleportation circle.
Elseria suddenly asked, ''Alex can you tell me what happened?"
Even though she had heard what happened from Conrad, she still wants to hear Alex's version.
Alex heaved a sigh before recounting what happened.
