Chapter 230: Adventurer Guild

Chapter 230: Adventurer Guild

Ethan was listening to the report.

He somehow understood this settings of the world.

It should be something like a reincarnation world created by the supreme existence, where only the trial taker had power and the others did not have or maybe they had and his Kingdom did not possess the power.

Ethan was the active king of this kingdom whose father died suddenly and he now had to tackle the inverse situation.

[Candidates can only attack other candidates, and cannot interfere in the operation of this world directly, only they can manipulate the situation.

If only someone challenges you, you can attack them.]

Here came the catch of the situation. Otherwise, everything was too easy.

They could not interfere in the clash of the kingdom with their power.

The master of this realm wanted someone capable of leading people or what?

Powerful people were eccentric, Ethan heard that. Not everyone was like Ethan, honest, sincere, handsome, respectful to elders and loving to youngers, capable, careful, cough cough cough, that was enough for today.

The minister finished his report. So the demons they were talking about were demonic beasts living inside the Forest of Anatolia.

No one knew how large the forest was, but all the human kingdoms were built on the side of the forest, like a protecting shield.

So the demons would attack once every 10 years. Last time, the king was there to protect them, he was a capable fighter and leader.

But this time the soldiers felt lost as no leaders were guiding them.

Ethan stood up and said, "Okay, let’s go to the border. Take out the most capable fighting force."

The minister, Nilim, was stunned.

What he just heard? The king wanted to go there? The king was so scared when he ascended to the throne and did not even want to hold any meetings.

They were desperate now, that was why they kind of forced him to join the meeting.

What suddenly got into him?

Ethan looked at their confused look and said, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

This time he asked with a slight coldness. Nilim came back to his senses and bowed,

"As you wish, your majesty."

Then he left with great urgency.

Ethan looked toward the other ministers and said, "You guys also go back to your work."

Now he needed to think about the objective of this 2nd stage.

Was it to see who can create a capable nation and dominate other nations and that would have to be done by brain only?

Only a candidate could attack another candidate?

Okay, let’s see, there should be some reason behind it.

Ethan got up and started walking outside. The outside world was very beautiful. It gave him a fresh vibe.

When he walked out, a burly-looking man in his thirties came in front of him and bowed, "Your majesty, do you have any orders for us?"

This was his general. He only had the knowledge about his subjects, but no knowledge about the world.

This knowledge was passed down to them.

Ethan asked, "Are the soldiers ready, Jonathon?"

"They are gathering, your majesty. But I think we should try to contact the adventurers from the Noran guild."

Adventurer? Noran guild? They sounded like those fantasy Japanese anime.

"Jonathon, give me a brief detail about this Noran guild and the adventurers," Ethan looked at him.

Jonathon felt he was being tested somehow. Today the king was releasing that intense royal aura, which even surpassed the previous king.

What was this feeling actually?

He straightened his back and said, "Sir, the Noran guild is an independent guild, which is not constrained by any kingdom. They are a force of their own.

This is because of the guild master, Leon Goretzka.

We do not know anything about his origin, but he is powerful enough to destroy a kingdom on his own.

As for the adventurers, they are those people who awakened their power.

They can become a part of the guild."

So this world possessed a power system.

Interesting.

"Then why did we not hire the adventurers till now?"

Jonathon replied in a low voice, "They asked an astronomical amount of money and you..."

He did not finish his sentence.

So this body refused to contact them because they were demanding a high amount of money.

"Okay, go contact them, then contact as much as we need. No need to hold back."

He was now interested in this guild master.

He could not attack anyone in this world, but if he somehow made the guild master challenge him, then he would beat him up, he was under his power range, and would force him to serve him.

If the guild master was a gag character, like some overpowered random NPC, then he would think something else.

So he needed to meet the guild master and he would also have to gather information about the other candidates.

Jonathon was shaking with extreme excitement, the king finally approved to contact the adventurers, and as much as needed.

"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you so much. I will immediately contact them."

Ethan did not waste time and looked at a soldier, "Take me to the library."

The soldier almost fell on his knees. What was this commanding aura? He felt he could do nothing but obey the order.

"Yes."

He replied and started walking toward the library.

Ethan followed him behind.

Soon they arrived at a huge building.

It was the national library.

Ethan looked at the guard and said, "Ask everyone to leave the library for 1 hour."

He was standing there with his hands on his back.

"Yes sir."

The guard went inside and after 5 minutes, people started coming out from the library like ants.

They saw Ethan was standing there and they bowed to him.

Ethan nodded at them and walked inside.

He scanned the entire library to see if there was anyone left behind.

"Now the library was fully cleared and no one was inside other than him."

With a thought, the thousands of books started to float in the air and Ethan was getting all the knowledge contained within them.

He wanted to know everything there had to know about this kingdom.

Soon 1 hour passed.

Ethan had learned everything about it.

He walked outside of the library after putting all the books back in their place.

As soon as he came out, he saw minister Nilim and general Jonathon standing there.

They bowed and greeted as soon as they saw him.

Ethan nodded, "How is the preparation, how much longer do I have to wait?"

"Your majesty, the preparation is completed. We have also contacted the guild too, they will join us in the Lumina city. We are ready anytime."

"Okay, let’s go. No need to waste any more time."

The carriages were ready.

Ethan entered his royal carriage and asked his 10000 shadow soldiers to leave and gather information for him.

Soon the carriage left the capital and moved toward the Lumina city.

4 hours later they reached the city.

Ethan took a total of 10000 royal soldiers with him, so it was a grand scene to behold when 10000 royal army marched in the city surrounding a carriage.

Inside the city,

20 tough-looking young men and women were standing in the city side by side.

"I heard the king is very young and inexperienced. He was against the idea of contacting the guild for help but now that the situation turns worst, they had to grovel in front of the guild."

One young man was talking with a mocking tone.

"Sam shut up. He is a king after all. Do not talk nonsense about him."

A young woman scolded the man.

Sam snorted, "So what if he is a king? He is just a mortal king of a mortal kingdom, we adventurers are the real rulers of the land. Now that those mortals are facing catastrophe, they had to kneel in front of us."

The girl did not argue anymore.

After some time, Ethan’s carriage stopped in front of them. All the soldiers also stopped.

Jonathon came forward and opened the door of the carriage.

"Your majesty, we have arrived at the Lumina city and the adventurers are waiting."

Then Ethan came out slowly. He was wearing a dark royal outfit with the royal family insignia on it, which was a Black Panther.

He calmly looked at the adventurers. They were a bunch of weaklings, not even a tier 1.

He could see disdain in their eyes, as if Ethan was just a nobody.

No one greeted him when he came out, they were as if waiting for him to go to them and greet them instead.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Ethan Hunt, the king of this kingdom. Thank you for responding to our call."

Sam gave a mocking smile, but a young man among them who looked very calm and composed stepped forward and greeted him back.

"I am Geralt, the leader of this mission. We are looking forward to working with you, Mr. Hunt."
