Chapter 205: Are You The BranchMaster?
He had apparently taken \'them\' out on their own dates or something like that
But there was only one other woman in his party! So what did he mean by \'them\'? Was he seeing things, or was that slime actually a female as well?!?
She just couldn\'t seem to wrap her head around the existence named \'Morningstar\'.
Who even calls themselves by such a weird name to begin with?!?
"..."
The archaic-looking old man seemed to be in deep thought about something as a few more hours passed by.
...
"Still not here yet?" The ancient voice asked.
"No"
"... I see"
The silence was deafening.
However, a few seconds passed as something began to change in Elara\'s nervous expression.
"Wait! He is here!"
She practically jumped up in joy when she felt the presence of MorningStar approach the staircase that led up to the higher floors of the Adventurers Association!
Pop!
One of the buttons that was holding together the area between her breasts exploded outward as she became a little too excited!
Her tight-fitted suit could barely contain the unprofessional body that lay beneath to begin with, and her unexpected excitement wasn\'t helping in the least.
The old man ignored such an occurrence as his \'knowing\' tone soon followed: "Well... I knew he would come."
He rubbed his long, grayish beard as he sent out his divine sense and saw the figures of a tall man and an icy woman begin walking up the stairs.
"Yeah" She \'agreed\'.
However, such obvious lies couldn\'t escape the old man\'s ears, as he began to speak again.
"I really did know he would come"
"I know..."
\'This disciple of mine really needs a good whipping later! How dare she not believe my words!\'
She didn\'t believe a single thing that this boaster of a Branch Master saida Branch Master to whom she was subservient to
*****
"Hey, Azmond?"
"Yes?"
"How are we able to get up these stairs now, Azmond?" Crystalline asked with a quizzical voice as they quickly passed through the second floor before making their way to the third floor.
"Did the BranchMaster allow us entry or something?" She questioned.
Azmond\'s apathetic voice followed such a question by Crystalline as they made their way up to the fourth floor.
"Yes I think so, for that was my guess as well. And if that is the case, then it looks like this BranchMaster is at the very top of the hierarchy for the Adventurer\'s Association in the City of RiverBloom."
A few seconds pass by as the three of them and Emu ultimately make their way to the very top of the Adventurer\'s Association buildingthe 7th Floor!
The Adventurers Association building didn\'t look so big from the outside, but for some reason unbeknownst to them, the interior of the Adventurer\'s Association past the second floor, seemed to expand outward tenfold what was shown on the outside of the building.
And that wasn\'t all, as the main building looked like a far larger house of sorts from the exterior, yet it was more like an extremely large pagoda on the inside.
It didn\'t make any sense
Nonetheless, Azmond simply summed up this oddity as just another one of the magical bulls*it things in the world of cultivation. There appeared to be no lack of such magical bulls*it these days
"This must be the set of doors that lead to the BranchMasters office."
The indifferent voice of Azmond echoed out as he, Crystalline, Boundless, and Emu were in the presence of a large set of grandiose-looking doors, over ten feet in height!
The doors were a dark gold color and were adorned with a vast quantity of colorful jewels that only further accentuated the gold.
|This BranchMaster guy must be quite the extravagant person if he is willing to decorate the entrance to his office with such pretty metals!|
Boundless started to touch all the jewels on the golden door, as she seemed to be amazed by just about anything that she saw!
|Look at this! And this! Have you seen this one yet?!?|
She and her jiggly body jumped all over the place as she pointed out every pretty jewel to Azmond. Clearly indicating that she wanted something just like it!
And it didn\'t look like she was the only one to have such a positive reaction to such a shiny, resplendent door, as even a little benign black and gold slime bobbed up and down around the door.
"Mhmu! Mhmu!!"
It wanted to eat all the jewels on the door! There was no way that such a delicious-looking door didn\'t taste like heaven!!
Azmond looked at them do whatever they wanted with a tired look on his face.
OOOM!
However, their amazement didn\'t last long as the golden door suddenly began to open up, resulting in both Boundless and Emu falling flat on their faces!
|What was that for?! I was still looking at the jewels!| She voiced her annoyances with a scrunched-up nose.
And she wasn\'t the only one
"Mhmu!? Mhmu!!?"
Emu squeaked as it started to attack the mean door that dared to run away from Emu!
However, their grievances were soon interrupted by the ancient and archaic voice of an unknown old man who sat on a rocking chair in the middle of a cryptic-styled room.
"Welcome."
"?!"
The sudden release of such a voice surprised Azmond a little bit, as he looked toward the dimly lit room and saw an antiquated old man with long gray hair and an equally long gray beard.
It didn\'t require a genius to figure out who this old man was.
"Are you the BranchMaster?" Asked Azmond.
And it didn\'t take long for a response to come back, as the ancient eyes of the old man seemed to peer into the very soul of Azmond.
