Let's Manage The Tower

(27) Mineral Chamber of Commerce

In the middle of the city of Seychun were the buildings of the city's leading organizations, including public guilds.

One of them was the Mineral Chamber of Commerce, which boasted a five-finger size among the surrounding buildings.

The Mineral Chamber of Commerce is an alliance of merchants based in the Kingdom of Haytay on the western side of Seychun.

Its beginnings are ancient and are said to have been initiated by the royal family of the Hayte kingdom.

The person has also appeared in the true history of the kingdom, and the royal family itself recognizes its origins.

For this reason, the status of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Hay has become a cornerstone.

The building that hits such a branch of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce is the one that happened earlier.

Although the city of Seychun itself remains neutral, the influence of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce in this context is considerable.

It was Barnabas, who was 25 this year, who led the Seitun branch of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce.

Barnabas was receiving reports from his subordinates in the office.

However, they are older than their subordinates.

"Did you get Nero's skin...?

"Yes, a member of the Alliance just arrived. It looks like the due date has passed and has been treated as an exception."

Exception handling?

Regarding the request made by the adventurer, although Barnabas is different from the field, I remember the matters related to the purchase of the product properly.

It turns out that it was a request to bring in an adventurer, rather than receiving a request in advance.

The original request for Nero's skin was made directly by Barnabas himself.

I thought I had no choice but to get it, so I made the request, but I didn't think it would come out so quickly.

It was the rules of the Public Guild that forced me to set the deadline.

Barnabas didn't care about deadlines from the beginning.

With that in mind, Barnabas asked his men while tilting his neck.

"But who did the harvest? Is that a monster that has to cross the 50th floor of the Tower?

"An adventurer named Kou."

I handed the request form that my subordinates had with the report to Barnabas.

After thoroughly checking the request form for the Alliance name and Kou's name, Barnabas sharpened his eyes.

"Again, the Wolf Fang?"

It was not the first time that Barnabas heard that name.

On the contrary, I've heard that name a lot lately.

I have heard the names of not only the adventurer Kou, but also the "Cory" who is active in the arena, as well as other adventurer parties.

Mineral Chambers often ask their adventurers to pick materials, but sometimes they do so through public guilds when they are short of resources.

Those requests were accompanied by the Guild name of some sort of Wolf Fang, and their names were written as achievers.

In other words, the branch manager of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce has shown so much activity in this short period of time.

Of course, there are several Adventurer Alliances in the City of Seychun that are equally active.

However, since I first heard the name, I've never seen an Alliance so powerful as to show so much activity in so short a time.

Barnabas turned to his men with that in mind.

"Is there any other result that you came straight to the news?

The men nodded with a smile to Barnabas, who asked.

"Yes, this is our current investigation into the Wolf Fang."

With that in mind, I sent another bundle of paper to Barnabas.

Barnabas, who received it, began to read the report without saying anything.

For a while, only the sound of Barnabas turning over the papers was heard in the room.

The document itself is a five-page report, so it didn't take Barnabas long to finish reading it.

Barnabas raised his gaze from the documents and asked his men.

"Is the carriage ready?

"What? Ah, no. I'll be fine at any time then..."

In response to a sudden question, my subordinates were stuck with answering what they didn't know for a moment, but they tried to answer immediately.

But while I was trying to answer, I was surprised to find out what Barnabas was trying to do.

"No way...?

Barnabas nodded and replied.

"Yes, I'm going out directly."

Barnabas answered surprisingly to his men.

The carriage carrying the Barnabas reached the Guild's stronghold just outside the town.

Three people, including Barnabas, decided to visit the Wolf Fang this time.

Some of them were originally trying to negotiate with the Wolf Fang.

At first, the person in charge had a pale face when he heard that Barnabas was going directly to the Wolf Fang.

I mistook myself for going out directly because of the delay in my negotiations.

After seeing it, Barnabas explained that it was a hasty misunderstanding, and the person in charge finally had a reassuring look.

While doing so, Barnabas came to The Fang of the Wolf, but the person in charge listened closely to the situation so far.

The report also has its contents, but it is quite different from listening directly to the person.

The party that arrived at the base of the Wolf of God entered the building immediately after being guided by the person in charge.

Everyone is free to go in and out until there is a counter for anything.

Barnabas' vigilance was rising in response to an unusual situation.

Depending on what you see, it looks like a loose response that allows everyone to enter freely, but I also understand that there is a complete system in place to get further into it.

I didn't think at this point that security was simply not in place.

I was convinced that an Alliance that had shown so much success would not be able to deal with such a one-sided situation.

As soon as the person in charge rang the bell placed at the counter, the eclipse came out of the back room.

Ek looked at the person in charge and sighed, then looked at Barnabas behind him with a strange expression.

"Welcome. I think you came earlier, but your reply remains unchanged.

The person in charge replied with a swing of his head to the echo who said so.

"No, I'm sorry many times a day. I'm not the one doing business this time, we're going to be Barnabas, head of the Seitun branch of the Mineral Chamber of Commerce."

"Nice to meet you. I am Barnabas."

Introduced by the person in charge, Barnabas stepped forward and lowered his head.

With that, Eko also lowers her head.

"Thank you very much. I am in charge of the contact point for the Wolf Fang, my name is Eko."

It was Eko who named herself after her, but soon she felt sorry for her.

"Thank you for your visit, but our representative is not here right now."

"Yes, I've heard that from someone in charge. I came here to talk to you."

Of course, I wanted to talk to the representative as well as to Barnabas.

However, no matter how many times the person in charge visited, they were pushed back with the word "absent".

If the Representative is an adventurer named Kou, he is not at the base of the Alliance.

The opponent is an adventurer, so it's only natural to leave the Alliance's base.

That's why Barnabas decided not to talk to the delegate immediately, but to connect with a woman named Eko, who is in charge of the point of contact.

"Me and...? I can't really talk about it, but is that okay?

"Yes, of course."

"I don't care if that's the case."

Against Barnabas's expectations, Ekko immediately granted permission.

While it should be a pleasure in itself, Barnabas has become more vigilant.

Eko's facial expression, which promptly gave her permission, did not appear to be just a receptionist.

And Barnabas' predictions were soon to prove correct.
