Carlos Artura leaned his back on the couch and let out a defeated sigh. He was trying to get information regarding how the man killed the Dire Wolf King or even the man's origin. But he got nothing, his answer was brief and short.
The old man then eyed the corpse, "What are you going to do with the Dire Wolf King's body? Are you willing to sell the body to the guild? It would be a good decoration for the guild, the whole body is preserved well," since he could not get his way, the old man gave up.
'20 Gold!' He almost said that aloud when the old man was interested in buying the body. But he imdiately shut his mouth. He did not know the price or the standard, "How much are you willing to pay?"
'Heh, it seems he is more interested in money,' Carlos rubbed his beard as he was calculating the worth of Dire Wolf King's preserved body, "The most expensive on the body is the horn. It's a decent material for smithing. 30 Gold, this is the best price I can offer for you."
'The whole body is worth more than I expected, even more for the bounty,' Tang Shaoyang was glad that he did not imdiately say it, 'Maybe I can sell for more if I sell the body outside,'
'Nah, let the old man take care of it,' There was a possibility that he would get scamd outside since he was not the native. Moreover, he did not have a lot of ti to preserve the body, selling the body before rotting so he could get the highest value.
"Deal!" After he said that, the door opened after three gentle knocks. Sera ca back with a pouch in her hand. She approached Tang Shaoyang and placed the pouch on the table, "4 gold and 50 silver for the bounty, 2 silver and 50 copper for completing the quest."
"Get 30 gold for . I am buying the Dire Wolf King's body," Sera's eyes widened for a mont when he heard 30 gold, it was too much for soone like her. But as soon as she heard what it was for, she nodded and went out of the room to get the money.
"Alright, it's ti for the serious talk, Tang. For what you have done, promoting you to Silver Rank should not be a problem. However, the guild has a policy that prevents from promoting you to Silver Rank," Carlos's expression turned serious, "But I have a solution for this, I will not record your achievent for killing the Dire Wolf King for the ti being, but promote you first to Bronze Rank since the two quests you have completed is a quest for the Bronze Rank. After that, you complete three quests for the Bronze Rank, then I will record your achievent, then you will be promoted to Silver Rank. How is it, do you agree?"
Tang Shaoyang looked at the old man. By doing this, Carlos was doing a favor for him. They just t, why did he suddenly want to help? Doubt aroused in Tang Shaoyang's heart, there was no free al in this world, he believed that.
'This old man wants sothing from ,' he thought but he was still maintaining his calm attitude despite the offer. Getting promoted would benefit a lot, which ant he could take a higher rank quest, and he could get more money from completing the quests to buy what they wanted from this world.
"What do you want from ?" Tang Shaoyang questioned the old man's kindness with the thought the old man wanted sothing from him.
Carlos was stunned for a mont when he heard those. He was, in fact, helping Tang Shaoyang without expecting anything from the man. But then, he recalled the conversation between them earlier. He understood imdiately why Tang asked that.
The old man smiled, "Even though I am curious about you, I will not abuse my position to get information about you. I just felt pity for soone as strong as you doing a nial quest, " the old man sounded genuine with his words, "I am doing this for the guild, winter is coming, our guild will be packed with quests. Especially for the Silver Rank Quest, we will be flooded with such a quest."
Tang Shaoyang looked into the old man's eyes, but he was not soone that was capable of reading lies from body language or expression, "Then I will follow your arrangent," he nodded. He chose to trust the old man since what he offered did not bring harm to him.
"Good, I will also promote your party rank to bronze. What about your party mbers, how strong are they compared to you?" Carlos then found a frown on Tang's forehead, 'Sigh, this dude is overly cautious.'
"I am considering raising their rank as well, but I need to know how strong they are. I can't be an irresponsible Guild Master to raise their rank blindly without knowing how capable your friends are."
"They are certainly far weaker than , but they are okay. At least, my party mbers are stronger than Tigre Party, and a little bit lacking to a retired Gold Rank Adventurer I have t so far," Tang Shaoyang estimated his subordinates' strength based on the adventurer he had crossed so far.
Tigre Party, the Silver Rank Party who tried to threaten him after they registered their party to the guild. The retired Gold Rank Adventurer was certainly Chief Rick. The old man once fought together to subdue the Dire Wolf pack near the Ropina Village.
"The retired Gold Rank Adventurer? Who?" Carlos's interest was piqued. Waskin City was not a big city with less than a hundred and fifty Gold Rank Adventurers. He recognized almost all Gold Rank, including the retired adventurer. He was curious about the retired adventurer Tang talked about.
"Chief Rick, the Ropina Village's Village Chief." Carlos recognized Chief Rick as he made a surprised expression, "That fool? The guy who retired at the peak of his career to manage the village?"
Tang Shaoyang did not know why the Guild Master would call Chief Rick a fool, but he nodded his head as he realized they were talking about the sa person.
"If you are talking about that old fool, then your party is quite strong. I am relieved, but…" Carlos scanned Tang from the top to bottom. The man confidently said his party mbers were much weaker than him then how strong he was?
"What about you? How strong are you?" The old man was getting even more curious.
"If you want to rank , then I don't know as well. So far, I have only encountered the Gold Rank Adventurer," Tang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders.
His Guild Guide, Sera, had told them the rank of the adventurer. Starting from the lowest rank, Wood, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Erald, Sky-Erald, Diamond, and Heaven-Diamond.
At this ti, the door opened rashly, Sera entered the room with a heavy pouch that contained 30 Gold coins.
"So rude! Don't you know how to knock on the door first?" Carlos was quite angry that his conversation was interrupted rudely.
"I am sorry, Sir," Sera bowed her head to apologize, "There's a group coming to the guild, accusing Mr. Tang of Misconduct Allegation that causes many deaths. The group cos to the guild to ask for compensation and also responsibility from Mr. Tang." She was panicked that the first party under her na was involved with a big problem like this.
"Hoho, interesting. So soone accuses the hero," a smile ford on his lips as Carlos glanced toward Tang, "Shall we et them?"
