The Immortal Player

Chapter 241: Adventurer's Guild Higher Ups Meeting Part 1

At this moment, Inside the game, Pedrotogether with Neerak Axutar, Weyron, and Faunia, were sat around a table inside a room in the Adventurer's Guild's office.

And before the atmosphere become tense and awkward, Weyron leaned to his chair and said, "Are we gonna stare at each other all day? Or are we gonna talk?"

Pedro could only sigh in response and said, "Then, shall we start our meeting?"

"Great!" Weyron chuckled.

At this moment, Neerak Axutar could not help but to rub the back of his headseemingly annoyed by the disrespectful manners of Weyron who was required by Pedro himself to join the said meeting for an unknown reason or purpose.

So, Before Weyron was able to utter another word, Neerak Axutar asked, "The Adventurer's Guild is doing well at this moment. There's quite a lot of task needed to be handled by the Adventurer's Guild's Office, so I would like to keep things short as we speak. Please go directly to the point if possible"

Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "I understand Then, without further ado, I would like to inform both of youThe temporary manager and the deputy manager of the Adventurer's Guild, that I plan to head back to the Axutar to handle some matters regarding a dungeon."

Then, at this moment, Pedro glanced at Neerak Axutar before continuing, saying, "At the same time, I would like to take this chance to establish an Adventurer's Guild Branch at the Axutar Village after clearing the said dungeon. Unfortunately I can't bring you with me, Neerak, for the time beingsince you are important and needed here in the main office!"

At this moment, Pedro leaned back to his seat and continued, saying, "You are greatly needed on guiding Weyron and several of his men on properly managing the whole Adventurer's Guild. So, I hope that you understand that you won't be able to return with us to your village."

"I-It's alright for me, Captain Aron! There would be a lot of chances to do so in the future!" Neerak Axutar said in a slightly trembling voice. He was not afraid, but rather embarrassed towards Pedro. So, he could not help but stutter as he responded.

Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "It's great to know that you understand my decisions despite your young age. Now As compensation, I would provide three Aron Burner to the Axutar Village for free! This way, I could ease your worries about the safety of your father and the Axutar Village so that you would be able to work without thinking much about them!"

Neerak Axutar could only shake his head in response to Pedro. Then, after a few seconds, he said, "Worry is something that won't disappear from me as long as I am away from home, Captain Aron! That said, I have trust in my father's ability and, at the same time, the abilities of the Axutar Village's Military. So, there's really no need for you to provide three Aron Burnersfree of charge! I fear that this might create some trouble in the future for both you and the village So, I don't think that it would be a good idea to do so."

Pedro simply smiled in response and said, "You worry too much, young man! The three Aron Burners were nothing but a gift for not being able to handle that monster properly in the past! Besides I am yet to pay for the things that you are doing for the Adventurer's Guild! Just consider it as your payment or salary instead!"

"Still" Neerak Axutar wanted to argue. However, Pedro was headstrong in his decision. So, Neerak Axutar did not dare go against Pedro's decision any further.

After all, he was his boss. His decisions would always take priority over his own thoughts. What was important was that he told Pedro his concerns and thoughts about it.

And, seeing that Pedro was headstrong with his decision despite everything that he said, then he knew that there was something more from it. So, he could only listen and follow Pedro since what he was about to do was not necessarily bad for anyone.

That said, the reason behind Pedro's desire to provide a free Aron Burner to Axutar Village was simple. He knew that his Naval Force won't be able to proceed from the Western Side of the Aquari Continent to the Eastern Side. So, eventually, it would all depend on Pedro and the Advance Force on protecting other strongholds at the Eastern Side of the Continent.

Add up the huge probability of unexpected factors like the threats posed by the presence of Vampires and Demons, Pedro could only resort to the Aron Burner to increase the safety of minor or smaller strongholds.

Besides The Adventurers, although are able to fight and use their numbers to their advantage, are still too weak in comparison to monstrous existence like the Vampires.

Truth be told, Pedro had not made a move in retaliation against the Vampires because Pedro knew that his plansincluding the development of the Adventurer's Guild throughout the continent, would be greatly affected if he does so.

In order to avoid 'stacked up' problems in the future, he could only resort with the Aron Burners in order to fortify small strongholds to help them without the need of him being physically present in those smaller strongholds.

And although he said that the three Aron Burners would be given for free, it was more like a part of his plan to make other small strongholds that would not be able to purchase an Aron Burner to seek his favor and eventually approach them by themselves to offer assistance and support in establishing an Adventurer's Guild Branch in their territory.

Since the price of the Aron Burner was expensive from the start, Pedro knew that there would be some smaller and poorer strongholds that would seek his help sooner or later. Some of them might even demand his help and use his title as someone from the BHO to gain Aron Burners for free.

This is one of the reasons why the cost of an Aron Burner required a lot of Magic Crystals as payment from the start!

Of course, he wanted to gain a lot of Magic Crystals for later use and later development of weapons. However, some of it was purposedly allocated to create smaller versions of Aron Burner that would be given for free to some villages in the continent.

That said, there were more things into it, especially that the Adventurer's Guild would be involved whenever the Aron Burner subject would be brought. So, there's really a ton of ways to gain back the coins spent in crafting the free Aron Burners.

Weyron knew about this fact, that is why he did not argue against Pedro's decisions. In fact, he even supported this move or plan by Pedro since he had so many things or ways in mind to capitalize on this chance and take advantage of the smaller strongholds with the use of the Adventurer's Guild.

On top of that, NPCs typically had low expectations and views on adventurers at this point in time. So, he wanted to use this chance to be able to control and stand on top of every other player on this continent. 

The probability of other players defecting against the Adventurer's Guild in the future was not low. But for now, there's a hundred percent assurance that the majority of them would depend on the assistance that the Adventurer's Guild could provide, considering the extreme difficulty they face just to survive in the game. 

So, such plans were actually more beneficial towards Weyron and his Adventurer's Guild. That is also another reason why he did not go against Pedro's decision that much.

In any case, Pedro had already made up his mind. And Neerak Axutar knew that he could not do anything much about it. So, in the end, Pedro's plans would push through. 

Neerak Axutar could only sigh of surrender and force out a smile, saying, "If that's what you have decided, then I could only give you my thanks, Captain!" 

Pedro simply nodded in response and smiled. Then, he glanced towards Weyron and asked, "I'll leave the Adventurer's Guild to the both of you! The Market Area is being handled by my demi-human slavestogether with the support of Duke Albert. So, there's no need for you guys to worry about it while I am gone."

Pedro paused for a few seconds with a sigh. Then, he said, "There would be a huge increase of Adventurers arriving in the next days. So... I would be leaving a lot of work in your hands... There won't be any problems, right?"

Neerak Axutar and Weyron could only smile in response. Pedro had left them with a huge and difficult taskwhich was to manage the Adventurer's Guild in his stead.

With the members of Advance Force slowly handing over the control of the different areas of the Adventurer's Guild, it was trully a huge work for Neerak Axutar and Weyron to take over and assign important roles to trustable men. 

That said, things had been settled as Pedro wanted once again. It was definitely not the best course of action but... It was not a bad plan after all.

Besides... leaving the decisions to Weyron and Neerak Axutar just like that was the best choice for him. Because Pedro could not afford to babysit every person every time. There are things that he needed to do, which was to increase his strength as soon as possible!
