Chapter 67 - Guildhall



"I still can\'t believe that I was able to get drunk," Nero proclaimed as he got ready to leave for the guildhall.

After yesterday\'s incident, Sophia forced Nero to sleep because if he had done something he shouldn\'t do while he was drunk, it would have caused a big problem. And it was already late noon by the time Nero woke up the next day.

"Seriously, I can\'t believe you called me your mother!" Sophia was upset because Nero called her his mother, while Emilia was happy that Nero called her his sister.

"Come on~ Cheer up already."

"I don\'t look that old! You should have called me your big sister or something," Sophia shrugged.

"..." Nero raised his brows and thought, \'So That\'s what she was upset about?\'

"Something must be wrong, or I would never get drunk." Nero\'s power automatically purifies whatever he eats or drinks, so it should be impossible for Nero to get drunk, or so he thought.

"Something made me vulnerable to alcohol for some reason, and I don\'t know what or why it happened."

"You\'re still sad over Laira\'s death. Nothing else."

Sophia had to take care of Emilia and Elise after she heard about Laira\'s death from Elise.

"Yes, that is one thing. But I am talking about something else here. My mental power shouldn\'t and doesn\'t affect my spiritual powers— they work automatically on their own. So me getting drunk is not possible."

"But you were drunk! Enough of this topic, and just… be you, okay? You are Zeus, and the Zeus I know doesn\'t dwell too much on the past," Sophia said with a smile on her face.

Nero sighed and nodded, then glanced around the hallway of the inn, "Where is that pervert? I haven\'t seen her since this morning."

"Emilia is with Elise; she found a ring from the street, and she is claiming that it appeared randomly in front of her," Sophia replied nonchalantly.

"Did you check and confirm it wasn\'t a cursed item?"

Sophia nodded and showed her palm to Nero— although she wasn\'t wearing a ring, "I even wore it for some hours to see if it had any after-effects or not. But I guess it was just a normal ring."

"So, where are they? I want to go to the guildhall and confirm something," Nero let out a weary sigh.

"Are you worried about \'that\'? Nothing happened when you touched the crystal before, so it is probably gone now."

"You don\'t understand, Sophi. I am not particularly worried about \'that\'. I am worried about what comes with \'that\'. And I can\'t win against it because it is a system."

Sophia squinted her eyes in annoyance and uttered, "Again, you are worrying too much."

"Are you sure you are okay now? You can sleep for some more days if you want," Sophia said with a concerned look on her face.

Nero walked past Sophia to the main door of the inn while saying, "I don\'t want to sleep anymore. The dreams I get are too boring."

Nero and Sophia met Emilia and Elise outside the inn. Emilia immediately jumped on Nero as soon as she saw him, and Elise glanced at Nero with a flushed face.

"Are you feeling well now?" Elise asked.

"Never been better," Nero knew Elise was the one who had the most impact upon Laira\'s death, so he was being considerate.

Elise didn\'t have much time to mourn for Laira\'s death as she still had to go to the capital.

She promised herself that she would fulfill Laira\'s legacy and buy a house in her name.

Nero and the others reached the guildhall, and the first thing that caught Nero\'s attention was the enormous crystal right in the middle of the guildhall.

It was a transparent crystal but had a little blue shine to it.

Nero ignored the crystal and glanced around to take a good look at the guildhall.

The guildhall itself was very vast and magnificent. It was about the size of the entire Astracliff town.

There were hundreds of rooms made for separate guilds, and in the middle, there was a massive door that had \'Guild Meetings\' written on it.

In the corners, there were stairs that led upstairs. The guildhall had 20 stories, and the crystal was about the same height.

Guilds from all over the continent— whether it be a small or a big guild, all the guilds were registered here with all the data of the guild members.

There were dozens of counters around the crystal and thousands of adventures strolling in the guildhall. Nero walked to one of the counters and asked, "How can I get a universal guild card?"

There was a man and a woman on the counter. They both looked at Nero, and then the woman asked, "Is this your first time here?"

"Yes, and no. Now answer my question. How can I get a universal guild card?"

"You submit your old one here and get a universal guild card. However, you need to add additional data so we can give you the universal guild card," the man asserted.

Nero signaled Emilia and Sophia to get their universal guild card, while Nero kept staring intensely at the crystal.

The woman asked Emilia to place her hand on the crystal. Emilia touched the crystal, and it shined light blue color.

The change in the color and the amount of the color changed in the crystal determined the rank of an adventurer.

In Emilia\'s case, the crystal was shining blue till the top tip of the crystal.

Everyone\'s gaze turned to the crystal as they awed in surprise.

\'Seriously?\' Even Nero was shocked— though Emilia herself had no idea what was happening.

Emilia glanced back and forth at Nero and Sophia with a concerned look on her face.

"You are an S rank adventurer," the woman stated.

\'She got that strong since back then? It looks like my essence is doing its work.\' Nero praised himself.

Later, Sophia placed her hand on the crystal, and everyone had the same reaction as before.

"You are also an S rank."

\'Sophi\'s jealousy is scary,\'\' Nero smirked inwardly and decided to make Sophia more jealous once they got back to the inn.

The man and the woman at the counter then looked at Nero and said, "Your turn."

"Let their cards arrive first." Nero groaned, knowing he would need to touch the crystal anyway.

"It will take about ten minutes since the device is still extracting the data from the crystal."

The device planted around the crystal had a screen with glyph letters carved on it— and it changed for every individual. It worked as a decipherer that analyzed the mana that flowed in the crystal. And only one person at a time was allowed to touch the crystal to avoid possible mixups.

Nero sighed and reluctantly walked to the crystal to touch it. He formed a thin layer in front of his palm and touched the crystal with his fingernail. Nero was able to alter his mana channel and made it similar to a human.

The crystal shined green— even brighter than when it shined during Emilia and Sophia\'s turn.

"You are an S plus rank."

\'S plus? Really? Couldn\'t they come up with a better name? Though I guess it\'s still better than S Max or S ultra or S pro.\'

Nero remembered some awful memories of his past life.

As Nero sighed and waited for his universal guild card, a loud and crisp voice sounded in his mind.
