BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - C-Rank
"Congratulat...ions, master... Desmond, you can now re-register as mercenaries."
Desmond\'s servants looked surprised when they heard this, they didn\'t show it, but their eyes said something else.
Desmond clears his throat. "Hello, let\'s talk about that inside."
"Haaah, yes, master."
…
In the dining room, or what could be called the living room, Desmond and Katrina sat across from each other while the servants waited outside.
"Before that, let me introduce myself first. I am Desmond, the son of Leona and Bastian."
"Hello master, I am Katrina, the guild master\'s right-hand man.
"Let\'s get to the point, I want to buy the information you got from master Grimm. As compensation, you can join the guild without having to go through the test stage and get rank C immediately. "
Many expressions were appearing on Desmond\'s face, from shock to suspicion and finally back expressionless.
"I see, so let me conclude this; that is not enough."
Desmond\'s tone was cold this time, different from before; he understands that only dust will be left for you if you lose the negotiation.
This is the reality; negotiations are made to get a situation where it is mutually beneficial.
Katrina frowned. "Don\'t be an arrogant boy; this is more than I\'m offering."
She looked down on Desmond, even though she had already seen Desmond\'s strength.
So what? 1stclass Swordsman? That\'s not enough!
Desmond remained ignorant; he also felt pressure from Katrina.
"Hmm ... then we better cancel it."
Analyzing the importance of the information he got, Desmond understood that it seemed like Katrina wanted this information so badly. Otherwise, she should have agreed immediately to cancel the negotiations.
"Hmm .. wait..a moment ..."
And it was just like Desmond\'s guess; he felt the energy coming out of Katrina\'s body, even though Desmond wasn\'t a Master Wizard. Still, if the distance between them was very close, everyone could feel that they were communicating.
…
After waiting for a few minutes, Desmond saw Katrina nod repeatedly before finally looking at him again.
"State your request."
Hearing this, Desmond became excited.
"Any?"
He asked this to make sure once again that he had heard correctly.
"Yes, whatever."
In-person, Desmond made a very shameless request.
"Then… I need 100k gold immediately."
Desmond\'s servant, who overheard Desmond declaring the number of coins, was shocked. Even Katrina, who always put on a professional expression, was also surprised.
"Wh ... how valuable is this information ?!"
She initially asked nervously, 100k guild coin is worth or should I say is the same salary as grandmaster position. Even Desmond state like this, she was still able to control this, and now the expression of Katrina is very annoyed.
"Enough to change the destiny of the northern kingdom."
Desmond answered confidently; he did not even doubt the value of the information he had obtained; in fact, he wanted to say this was enough to make the king die of shock.
Katrina was shocked; she understood that Desmond\'s information was important, but she didn\'t know how important it was. Hearing it straight from Desmond made him very surprised.
"In a moment, I\'ll send this statement to the guild master. Before that ..." She took out the same parchment when Desmond was about to register, but this time the parchments were tied with red ribbons.
"This is a special scroll for people who register to the guild especially. After all, we can\'t immediately accept that person without evidence and magic binding them."
Katrina stretched out the scroll, the size of this scroll was not as big as the previous scroll, which was shorter at the time in the guild, but there was a purple glow on the edges.
"I see. Do I need to shed more blood?"
"No, this time, you just channel your energy into this scroll, and this scroll will automatically record all your information."
Doing as Katrina ordered, he tried to channel energy into the scroll.
[System detects the energy trying to enter the host\'s body]
[Terminated Y / N?]
No.
[Access granted]
After giving permission to the system, Desmond felt that the \'foreign\' energy inside his body was like digging up something.
[Warning !! This energy is trying to dig deeper]
[If this keep going may be information about the host\'s memory may be revealed]
Seeing this notification, Desmond\'s expression turned ugly.
[Terminated]
[Processing….]
[Energy terminated]
…
Meanwhile, as Katrina saw Desmond drain his energy, a sly smile appeared on her expression.
She waited until the information Desmond got appeared on this scroll, but she then felt that Desmond was stopping his energy channeling.
"What\'s wrong, Master Desmond?"
Katrina asked, feigning confusion.
"What is wrong? If you do this one more time, we better cancel these negotiations. "
Hearing this, Katrina\'s patience was exhausted; she wanted to immediately search for the information by holding Desmond\'s head, but she then remembered the Guild Master\'s words.
"Please forgive me, master Desmond, let\'s try again."
This time she took out a different scroll by opening it as before.
Desmond saw that this scroll had a golden glow at the edges; he would no longer foolishly believe Katrina\'s words.

[
System Conclusion: This scroll is safe; no malignant energy is detected like before. It\'s just that the energy in this scroll still wants to dig general information from the host\'s body.
]
After seeing the system\'s information, only then did Desmond flow his energy into the scroll.
As usual, a notification appeared, and he allowed the energy to enter. But this time, he didn\'t want the previous incident to happen; he watched every movement of the energy by closing his eyes.
Only after confirming that the energy didn\'t do the same thing again did he open his eyes and see the previously empty scroll full of information about him.
"Welcome to Guild Master Desmond."
"Thank you."
After Katrina said those words, Desmond\'s body glowed blue again, just like when his family joined the North Kingdom.
