CHRONICLES OF AEONIA 1: THE DEVIL'S WHITE ROSE

Adventure Guild

As everyone enters through the gate Iris asks Elsha to give her the identification card. But after seeing Elsha's face, she immediately realizes that Elsha has no identification card.

"Elsha, why don't you have an identification card?" Iris panics

"I don't have one. By the way is it important?"

Her question makes Iris even more anxious.

"Elsha, it's proof of where you belong. I can't believe that you. Sigh, you don't even know about coins, so it's not surprising. Play along with me, okay?"

Elsha nods.

When the guard asks about their identity cards. Iris gave her. After verification, the guard asks for Elsha's.

"Sir, she lost her adventure card while she was helping me from falling from the cliff"

Elsha sits with a smile which was like it is pasted on her face.

But the guard didn't allow her entry. Even after Iris begged, the guard didn't accept and even arrested Elsha. Even though many events happened, Elsha was confused and didn't know what happening and went with the guards.

"Sigh, be a little scared when arresting you. She was not even anxious when she got arrested" Looking at Elsha, Iris said.

She suddenly ran to the group and asked for help. After hearing it the mercenary group joins Iris and go for the guard station.

"hmm.. I guess we need to help her out" William said.

"Why? Sir" the young man asked.

"This is why you cannot start a business even though you have grown. And also, our trip is over and the official matters are set so you can stop calling me 'sir' now"

"Ok, Dad," the young man said. He is the first son of the Gorden merchant family, Ivan Gorden.

"But Dad, what will we get from favoring her"

"Ivan, what will happen when we befriend someone from the magic tower or a person with high magic aptitude"

"We will get profit if it is someone from the magic tower and if it's the second case, we will get someone we get an ally. But Dad she is a nobody"

"My son, with her talent 10 months, NO, 5 months she will become a B-class adventurer or a senior researcher in the magic tower"

"Sigh, then let's see it"

"Oh, my son is daring this time. How much is the bet?"

"Huh?"

"You need to bet right?"

"Ok, My one-month allowance"

"But, that's my money, right?" William asked with a smile

After seeing his son's face, he laughs and agrees to the bet.

Now, everyone from the mercenary group reaches the guard station and asks for the release of Elsha. But they didn't allow them to even see her.

"Why are they giving us a hard time?" Marcus asked.

"It can't be helped; this is because of the war and the intruder incident that happened 1 month ago," Samuel said.

"Sigh, how will we help Elsha?"

While they were discussing the matter, they noticed that the merchants from the guild approaching the station.

"Why are they here?"

"Who knows?"

The people from the merchant guild ask the guards for the release of Elsha and vouching her for her missing identity card.

Because of the involvement of the merchant guild, they released Elsha.

After spending time in the station prison, Elsha was pale. The person from the guild welcomes Elsha.

"Are you the one who helped me? Thank you so much"

"It's not me, it's the merchant guild"

"Thank you. Can I go now?"

"Sure, Ma'am"

Elsha rushes out. Seeing Elsha coming out of the station everyone gets surprised at how she got out.

But Iris who noticed pale face of Elsha asked her what happened.

"Big sis, it's dark and smelly in the grilled room and I was about to puke" After seeing her face and hearing her reply all the group laughs.

"Then you need to take an identity card. So, let's go to the adventure guild for verification.

Iris takes Elsha and leaves behind the group to help Elsha register her Adventurer card. On the way, they buy something to eat and slowly reach the Adventure Guild.

"This is the adventure guild"

Elsha looks at the classic building, built with wood and stone. It was big the size of a castle. They both entered the guild. Upon seeing Iris, everyone in the guild looks at her.

"Whoa, it's Iris"

Some of them greet her and some of them wave their hand. Elsha noticed she was popular and asked.

"I was a B-rank adventurer after taking an A-rank test and passing it due to circumstances I quit the adventure guild and joined the mercenary guild" Iris said.

Elsha, though she does not understand everything, she understands that Iris is powerful.

"Hello Clara, we want to request one registration," Iris said.

A cat-eared girl comes to the desk. It was Elsha's first time seeing a Feline-human.

"Okay meow"

Elsha notices her slang and surprises.

"Elsha, I will fill the paper, tell me the details while you do the attribute measuring. How many attributes do you have?" Iris asked.

"Three" Elsha replied.

To her surprise, nobody even cared after hearing three like it was a common thing.

"Wow, you can use three. But I thought you had four because of your mana aptitude. I also have 3 attributes, Wind, Fire, and Lightning."

Elsha was shocked to hear it. Her attribute was rare in her village and that was one of the causes which separated her from the villagers.

"Then Elsha, what are your attributes?" Iris asked.

"Ice, Fire, and I can use healing sometimes."

Iris looks at Elsha in shock.

"Elsha, why do you have negating attributes?"

"Huh?"

"Don't you know? Ice melts when touches fire, so they are opposing mana. So, mostly no one has those two. And also healing, it's a buff type of holy magic. Your attributes are messed" Iris said.

"OK now, hold your hand on this measuring gauge nya," Clara said with a smile.

Elsha slowly holds her hand. The crystal in the measuring gauge shines white.

"Wow, it's a light attribute it is because of your healing magic I guess," Iris said.

But suddenly the crystal changes to pitch black and the gauge shows zero.

"What happened?" Elsha panics.
