Waking up to tender early morning sunlight had never felt so good to me, especially after I remembered my past life memories yesterday, it felt even more unique.
After washing up and getting ready. By the way my attire for today was a plain white shirt and blue pants. I had breakfast and left for the first destination for the day, the guild headquarters.
As I was still a new adventurer and not part of any familia till now, I had informed my guild advisor to let me know if any familia were recruiting or in rare chances any new divine beings descending from Tenkai.
....
The guild headquarters was a massive building, entirely made of a material pure white in color, the entrance almost four meters in height, entering the guild led one to a huge hall, in the left side was a row of counters where one could exchange the magic stones and and drop items, in the middle were also a few more booths behind which sat the guild advisers, whom one could approach if they needed any help or wanted to know any information, and towards the right side were a few benches scattered where adventurers or people could sit down and rest if needed.
Further inside the guild were private rooms which one could you use if they wanted discuss something important with the advisors, or if they had some special drop items and did not want to make it public.
The guild was almost like the government in Orario, they managed a variety of things, from buying magic stones from adventurers, to managing the familia's taxes, to deploying specific quests to specific familia's based on their strengths, to recording the details about the dungeon, to monitoring which adventurer reached which level and so on.
The first thing a adventurer had to do was register in the dungeon before they were allowed to enter the dungeon, it was a separate thing if they were a part of a Familia or not.
Normally, when a person joins a familia, the seniors in the familia take them to the dungeon and explain about the dungeon in detail to the new member, but in case if the familia members were busy, the guild would assign them a personal advisor who can help them with the details of the dungeon, the types of monsters found and which floor they can explore on and what things to be careful of.
A personal advisor was also assigned for people who had just become an adventurer and were still not part of any familia or were searching for one, and whether a person still wanted a personal advisor after joining a familia was a seperate matter.
...
I reached the bustling guild building, which usually by this time would have people entering and leaving the guild in throngs, was stagnant today, people were only entering the guild, not many leaving.
I entered the guild, and immediately felt a tense atmosphere everywhere, and upon looking around, a group of people were crowded in the right side of the hall where the benches were, and through the gaps in the crowd, I could see a few guild employees standing there with a tense look on their faces, speaking to someone opposite to them.
Squeezing through the crowd and upon reaching the front, the first thing I saw was a muscular person wearing a red and yellow elephant mask over his face and next to him, a very beautiful mature woman with long wavy golden honey colored hair and orange eyes and the third person a short chubby elf with white hair and green eyes, wearing a guild uniform, talking to the guild employees.
It was easy for me to recognize the muscular man as Ganesha and the mature woman as Goddess Demeter.
But I was not able to recognize the short chubby elf in the guild uniform.
It was only after listening to the people around me for a while did I get to know that the short chubby elf was Royman Mardeel, the head of the Guild.
I silently left from there and asked some adventurers at the back about what the issue was and why the gods and the head of the guild here.
"Ha, it's those Evilus up to something again, today morning three adventurers were found dead in the Deadulus street, all blood drained from their bodies, a few adventurers found them and informed the guild. The guild found out that out of the three, one was a Level 2 from the Ganesha Familiar and the other two are Level 1's from the Demeter Familia, the guild upon receiving this news immediately sent messengers to inform the two familia and their gods, and both those gods rushed to the guild with a few of their familia members."
"The guild then contacted the Astraea family and started the investigation from their end, but are also waiting for the Astraea Familiar members to arrive before proceeding further." the adventurer with a eye patch over one eye, informed me in a subdued voice.
Just as the adventurer finished speaking, the guild door opened swung open with a large sound, drawing the attention of all present in the hall, within a second all the eyes of the people present inside turned to look at the guild entrance.
Entering from the door was a group of girls led by a red haired girl with bright green eyes that seemed to sparkle even in the bright daylight. Her red hair was tied in a single ponytail making her beautiful face look even more attractive. Anyone in Orario would know the name of the red head, with the alias Scarlett Harnell, the one and only captain of the Astraea Familia, Alize Lovell who was a Level 4 Adventurer at just 16 years old and the one of the most well liked adventurer in the whole of Orario.
On the right side behind her was another beautiful girl with long black hair, dressed in a Kimono with a robe draped over it. She was also a Level 4 adventurer, with the alias Yamato Bellflower, not a native of Orario instead hailing from the Far-East, even a princess there but due to some issues had to leave there and come to Orario, Gojouno Kaguya, the vice captain of the Astraea Familia.
On the left side behind Alise was a blond girl, with sky blue eyes, and a tint of golden to her blond hair, she was a rookie comparable or stronger than the Sword Princess, Ais, with her coming from an elven background as can be seen because of her pointed ears, only her nickname 'Gale Wind' was known to the public along with her surname Leon (spelled as Lion). She was another super rookie who had been climbing levels and growing stronger, she had reached Level 4 despite her young age.
There were five other members of the Astraea Familiar following behind them, Lyra, a Level 4 pallum adventurer, Neze Rankett, a Level 4 Werewolf, Maryuu Reage, a Level 4 human healer, but was carrying a huge hammer, Iska Bra, a Level 4 Amazoness and finally Celty Srowa, a Level 3 defense mage.
The entire hall which was full of chatter and noise was silenced in an instant, with all the people inside now fully focused on the members of the Astraea Family. The two gods and the guild head too had started walking toward the Astraea familia members, who after looking around for a moment spotted them and started moving towards them.
The guild too had it's reasons to first think of contacting the Astraea Familiar for this murder case, one, this was guaranteed to be related to Evilus and the Astraea Familiar were fighting against it for almost years now. The second was that Astraea was also known as the goddess of justice and was very good friends with Demeter, and finally even if the guild did not inform the Astraea Familia, the members of the Ganesha Familia would inform them.
And also, the Demeter familia was not an exploration type familia, instead it is an agricultural and business type familia and hence they did not have any high rankers or first class adventurers.
