Chapter 114: The Façade of the Large Building

The façade of the large building had heavy iron double doors, which appeared solid and sturdy. One door was engraved with the empire’s crest, while the other had the symbol of the guild. The doors were open, and an endless stream of adventurers, young and old, were passing through them. This was the capital’s adventurers’ guild.

Anessa, who had been led there by Touya and Maureen, was awestruck by its scale. It’s not as grand as I always imagined it to be, though, she thought.

It was undoubtedly enormous, as was the teeming mass of adventurers. However, this much was no different from the guilds in other large cities.

I mean, shouldn’t there be something special? Why does it feel like I’m at the guild in Orphen or Istafar? Anessa groused.

Evidently, she had unconsciously voiced some of her thoughts aloud, as Touya grinned and offered an explanation. “There are more guild buildings all over the city. They’re all just about as big as this one. This is the fourth branch.”

Owing to the vastness of the capital, there were various different facilities required for managing and issuing requests, and each branch had its own chain of command. The one Touya and Maureen had chosen was simply one among them. Each branch lacked a guild master, or any other administrative structure that was common to other guilds. Instead, yet another agency unified the management of the guild branches in the city. Furthermore, the guild managed a marketplace where adventurers could sell materials from dungeons and fiends, a training area, and a great many other such facilities.

I see, so that’s what’s going on, Anessa realized. This gargantuan building is only the tip of the iceberg. And if all the others are just as teeming... She sighed in admiration. “Incredible... That’s the central guild for you.”

“With that said, you rarely ever have to go to the other buildings for anything,” Maureen chimed in, stuffing her cheeks with a sugar-coated pastry she’d bought from a stall.

The three of them hastily made their way into the vast lobby, getting out from under the heavy clouds looming in the sky that seemed poised to rain at any moment.

Although it was packed inside, it wasn’t so bad that Anessa couldn’t navigate through the crowd. The other guild branches served to spread out all of the city’s adventurers, though she was shocked that there were still so many people milling around even considering that.

Anessa noticed the distinct flair of imperial design all around, and despite the crowd, things seemed tidier than Orphen’s guild. Now that I’m at the center of it all, even Orphen—the largest city of the north—seems like a backwater, Anessa thought with a wry smile.

“I’ll go put a word in,” Touya said as he went off to the back. Anessa was left with Maureen, so they sat down in some chairs.

“Come to think of it, where’s your house? You two live in the capital, right?”

“Yes, it’s quite close to here. We’ve been out for a while, so I need to do a bit of tidying.
