Mercenary Guild Misunderstanding

By the standards of the dark elves, she was still a child who began to take her first steps.

Now, an emotion was displayed on her face that frightened the mercenary who approached her to hand over assignments. The dark elf's face was frozen in disbelief and shock.

- Kaylo, what happened to you, someone offended you? - Asked the mercenary in his voice could be heard concern.

Unlike many of the inhabitants here, he did not try to impose a relationship on her time, he and she became friends.

- No, Finho remember the task of eliminating the robbers who are rampant on the roads here? - Keilo asked in an incredulous voice, looking from the ritual stone to Finho.

Thinking Finho, he remembered the task for which no one undertook because it was extremely dangerous, and those who took especially young animals thought that they could handle it, but none of them returned.

- Yes, I remember what's wrong with him? - Finho asked again.

Finho was a simple man without magic and his rank was B, he was fed only by his sword, so he did not look at the tasks of ranks A or S, he knew how to accept his abilities.

- He was just given out by the head of the caravan coming here. - Kaylo spoke without taking her eyes off the ritual stone and running her fingers over it.

She continued to run her fingers over the ritual stone, it was clear that she was writing to someone.

- And what's wrong with that? Maybe one of the young once again decided to feed the monsters. - Answered Finho, still not understanding the reason for her disbelief.

Shaking her head, Kaylo looked up at Finho, whose heart began to beat rapidly at her gaze, trying not to show he was trying to calm himself by reminding himself that they were friends.

- The fact is that he out assignments to a stufon who is still studying at the academy, and this is against the rules, since stufons do not yet possess the entire spectrum of knowledge and they do not have a rank. - Kaylo said puzzled.

She tried to contact the stufona academy to request information about him, but so far no luck.

- And who is the head of the guard of this caravan? - Finho asked in surprise.

He knew many former mercenaries who had gone to escort caravans near this city and would not be surprised if he knew the one who issued the assignments.

- The head of the guard is called Oteu, the former mercenary had an A rank, but left the mercenary guild. - Keilo replied while looking through the information about the head of the caravan guard.

Remembering a person with that name Finho, he remembered such a person, but he did not seem like a person who would thoughtlessly give out a task to an inexperienced stufon.

- And when does the caravan arrive in the city? - Finho asked.

The dark elf thought if the information was true, the caravan was supposed to arrive in the city the day after tomorrow, but with the situation of the attack, this schedule might shift.

- The day after tomorrow, but because of the attack, it may change. - Kaylo replied while looking through the information and thinking about whether to report to the head of the department or not.

The head of the department dealt with the problems associated with both mercenaries and other guilds. He was the link between the head of the city and the guild of mercenaries, many tasks were directly from the nobility or from the baron's squad.

According to the rules, she had to inform him that the head of the guard issued the task himself, which the mercenary guild was supposed to issue.

- I propose to wait until the caravan arrives in the city and ask Oteu about why he gave this task to the stufon. - Finho said thoughtfully, massaging his chin.

The dark elf looked up at the man in front of her, for her he was the one who supported her and helped to cope with various representatives of the races who tried to get close to her.

He was not super strong or popular, he had an ordinary appearance dark blond hair of medium length, a manly face with bright green eyes.

At such moments when she succumbed to panic, he found a way out or an opportunity to solve this or that reason.

- You're right, but I still need to inform the head of the department. -Kaylo said dejectedly.

She, like all members of the mercenary guild, did not like to contact the head of the department, this was due to the fact that no one knew.

How will he react to this or that event and everyone tried to resolve their issues themselves without interfering with it.

- I understand good luck with it. - Finho said in an understanding tone, moving away from the window.

Groaning at the words of her friend about who she needed to go to on the third floor, she did not want to go there alone.

But her friend did not have the opportunity to go up to the third floor, where the head of the department was located.

The second floor was intended for mercenaries of rank A and above, where they could practice their skills without fear of causing damage to the building.

On the third floor was an office in which the head of the mercenary branch in this city sat, and there he held important meetings with both mercenaries and other guilds and representatives of the nobility.

Closing the window and getting up from the chair and adjusting her blouse and skirt, Kaylo slightly straightened her hair and leaving the workplace she had to indicate the reason for leaving the workplace, it was both lunch and guild business and the end of working hours.

After pointing out the reason for leaving the guild business, she went out to a service corridor that was painted green and the color of the floor was white. Keilo never understood such a difference in colors, but she didn't care.

Walking down the corridor, she heard the conversations of her colleagues who worked with the mercenaries, approaching the elevator and pressing the call button, she began to plan how to tell the head of the department everything.

After waiting for the elevator to go down and the door to open, she went in and chose the third floor while the elevator was moving, music played in it thanks to a magical device, this was supposed to allow the one who went up to the to relax.

But for Kaylo, this only distracted from the plan of how she wanted to tell everything. The elevator stopped on the third floor and, slowly opening.

She saw what the corridor looked like with the place of the deputy head of the department next to the walls there were couches on which representatives of both the guilds and representatives from the baron and other nobility sat.

Everyone turned their heads towards the elevator with interest, looking at who else came to the head of the mercenaries, but when they saw the employee, they quickly lost interest.

Kaylo was uncomfortable with the gaze of so many powerful and influential races.

Slowly approaching the deputy head of the department, it was clear that he was busy typing something and not paying attention to her.

The deputy's name was Ingor, he was a man of middle age, his black hair was already graying, but his blue eyes still had a tenacity for which he was appreciated by the leader.

He was a weak magician, but thanks to him, the guild in this city was close-knit like a family and he was able to communicate with representatives of other guilds and the nobility, which made it useful in solving whispering cases.

- Good afternoon, Ingor supervisor on the spot? - Kaylo asked in a low voice.

Hearing the quiet voice of the dark elf, Ingor raised his head and carefully looked who was addressing him.

He recognized this dark elf who worked in the reception and issuance of tasks and he was surprised to see her here but did not show it.

- Yeah, what happened on the first floor? - asked Ingor.

He understood that those responsible for issuing assignments would not come here just like that. So something happened with which they could not cope and came here.

- Yes, in one of the caravans that are heading here, the chief of security issued tasks to one of the stufons. - Confirming said Kaylo.

The deputy frowned, it was not often that caravan guards or masters issued quests that bypassed the mercenary guild.

But the fact that this head of security gave the stufon tasks even more alerted him, Keilo did not tell him what the tasks were, but he foresaw that they would not be easy.

- Come on in, tell Chief Kaylo everything. - Ingor said, looking around the seated representatives of both the nobility and other guilds.
