Chapter 21: Glory Class Adventurer
"So tired..."
After get off work, Leticia lay on the sofa at home and shook her sore right hand.
Working at the front desk of the Adventurer's Guild is very hard.
"Hey, Leah, you're back early today."
The door opened and a middle-aged man in a suit and a leather hat walked in with a handbag. When he saw his daughter lying on the sofa and complaining, a smile appeared on his face.
"Dad, you didn't work overtime today?"
When Leticia saw her father coming home at this time, a hint of surprise appeared on her delicate face.
Letilia's father, Drayton, is the president of the Roselowe Adventurer's Guild. His daily workload is as heavy as a mountain. He has almost no holidays and has to work overtime until very late every day. His mother has complained about him more than once.
Although both father and daughter work in the same place, they rarely get off work at the same time.
"I went to Starlight Commercial Bank today for something. I encountered a big incident and my head is a little dizzy, so I have to come back and rest for a while."
"Big deal?" Leticia couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.
What would it be like if something big happened at Starlight Trading Company that required even the president of the Adventurer's Guild to remain calm?
"The Starlight Company was robbed?"
This was the only possibility Letilia could think of.
"Of course not." Drayton denied his daughter's words, put down his handbag, sat on the sofa opposite Letilia, took off his hat and threw it aside, calmed down, and said, "Someone went to Starlight Commercial Bank to consign a divine relic this afternoon."
"puff!"
Letilia spat out the water she had just drunk. Although she managed to control the direction at the last moment, a lot of tea still splashed onto Drayton's clothes.
"Sorry, Dad."
"It's okay. My expression was similar to yours when I first heard the news."
"God...relic? Is it true? How could such a legendary item suddenly appear in our Starlight Trading Company? Even the Starlight Trading Company headquarters has never seen a divine relic. It is the highest level item left by the gods! I heard that any one of them has enough power to rival the gods! Could it be that Starlight Trading Company made a mistake?"
Letilia said as a suspicious look appeared on her pretty face.
"Actually, I thought so at first." Drayton stroked his beard and said, "Then Mr. Foley came out in person to confirm the accuracy of the news and also revealed the effect of this divine relic."
"That stingy old man?" Letilia frowned, then opened her brows and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, if that stingy old man proved it, then the news should be correct. He won't joke about the reputation of Starlight Trading Company."
"Yes, I think so too, so I went home to calm down. I guess I won't have the energy to work at night."
"Well, Dad, what effect does that divine relic have?" Letilia asked curiously.
"Hmm... I remember there seems to be an 'absolute defense' effect that can make all attacks ineffective."
"Wow! That's really...amazing!" Letilia exclaimed in amazement.
"It's truly a divine relic. I really want to see it with my own eyes." Letilia said with longing in her eyes.
"You don't have a chance these two days. Xingguang Trading Company will be closed these days. All the combat power will be used to protect the relics of the gods. However, there will be an open auction at the next auction."
"Daddy..." Leticia said in a disgusting voice.
Letilia had a flattering smile on her face and stared at her father without saying a word.
The sight of Drayton's hair standing on end.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll approve your leave and we'll go and see it together." Drayton said helplessly.
"It's good to have a dad as a boss." Letilia nodded with a smile.
"It's just this once, it won't happen again."
"Yes Yes."
"But I'm still very curious, Dad. Who on earth commissioned Starlight Trading Company to auction this divine relic? This level of props would be extremely treasured by anyone, but they actually auctioned it. Are they stupid, or are they really so short of money that they have to auction the divine relic?" Letilia was very puzzled. "There is another possibility, Leah."
"uh-huh?"
"It's possible that the owner of this divine relic is already powerful enough to no longer need this item." Drayton didn't realize that he had just said something that was very close to the truth.
"Dad, this joke is not funny." Letilia rolled her eyes at Drayton.
Even Drayton himself felt that what he had just said was a bit too naive.
"The president of the Adventurer's Guild is so unreliable."
Drayton smiled helplessly, feeling educated by his daughter.
But he didn't hate it. His wife passed away early and his daughter became his only hope.
In fact, with Dreth's status in the Adventurer's Guild, he could have found an easier job with a higher salary for his daughter. However, for the sake of his daughter's future, he let her start from the bottom of the guild and slowly get familiar with everything about the Adventurer's Guild.
Letilia did not disappoint him. Although the receptionist job was very hard, she persisted in it and even enjoyed it.
However, her lifelong event has always been a headache for Drayton. In the Kingdom of Kendenia, girls reach marriageable age at the age of sixteen. However, Letilia, who is twenty-two years old this year, has never had a relationship and has never even heard of her having a crush on any boy. This undoubtedly gives Drayton a headache. People of his age have already had grandchildren, but he has no news at all. How can he not be anxious?
"Leah, Vice President Mosh's son wants to date you..."
"Dad!"
Before Drayton could finish his words, he was interrupted by Letilia.
She said dissatisfiedly: "We have already agreed that I will make the decision on marriage myself."
"We did agree, but you at least..."
"Let's make a date!"
Facing his daughter's twisted face that could barely be called a 'smile', Drayton had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Seeing that her father had stopped talking, Leticia finally revealed a satisfied smile.
"By the way, Dad, I met a stupid boy today. He actually accepted the most difficult task..."
******
Heaton Paradise is the most high-end hotel in Roselowe. The accommodation, food and entertainment there are definitely those that only the upper class can enjoy.
"welcome!"
At the entrance of the hotel, four beautiful maids took the initiative to open the door and extended a respectful greeting.
Their every move exuded an air of noble etiquette, and they did not show any contempt for Luo Qiu because of the gray steel epaulettes on his left shoulder.
A pink-haired girl in a red and white maid outfit walked up to Luo Qiu and asked softly in a friendly tone, "Excuse me, are you looking for a room or a meal?"
"stay."
"Okay, please follow me to the front desk to register your information." Upon hearing that Luo Qiu was going to stay, the smile on the girl's pretty face became even brighter. She bowed lightly and motioned Luo Qiu to follow her.
What a thoughtful service.
Luo Qiu was a little flattered. After all, he had never experienced such high-quality service on Earth, let alone meeting the legendary maid. This was the first time that Luo Qiu saw a real maid with his own eyes.
Will I be rejected if I just approached her casually? A strange thought came to my mind.
Suppressing his restless heart, Luo Qiu followed the girl to the front desk.
"Huh?" Luo Qiu suddenly let out a light exclamation, his eyes attracted by a figure walking up the stairs.
The scarlet cape fluttering like a burning flame and the special shoulder strap made of high-grade magic alloy, this magical item exuding a unique aura is the most noble symbol of an adventurer - the Cloak of Glory!
