Chapter 528: Another Guest?

Walker made his way to Gil who was still standing a slight bit from the table with Onyx on his shoulders. "How are things here?" 

Gil smiled and was proud to report, "The enforcers are confused at some points when it comes to some of the duties of the various staff. But they are adjusting those things as we speak. I have a feeling that by the end of the week there will be a draft of the guild rules and positions for hire." 

This was great news. If the formation of an adventurers' guild could progress faster then there would be a quicker growth in the entire opening process of the forest elf city and kingdom. 

"I believe the king has already proposed this to your queen, but the guide position would be unique to your guild. There would be enforcers that are required to accompany those without proper certification from your guild. That would mean your patrols need a badge of some sort to give those who pass your standards to safely traverse the forest. It would be mana imprinted like the guild plaques we already use but affix on to the traditional plaques to show this."

The Ibis had already decided that this would be necessary even if the queen and king did not agree on it. If the adventurers guild made it a position then it would be so. These guides would train adventurers and issue a certification to traverse the forest without a guide. Once done it would greatly protect the forest. 

"I fully support this position. The trainees could act as the guides as part of their training before they leave the forest. It would familiarize them with those outside the forest and eventually assist their social skills when needed." The enforcer that spoke was already writing these things down so that he could develop an applicable training plan. 

"We would need more outposts for adventurers to stop and show identification. Or more patrols." The other was already looking at a map to decide the best places for such things. 

"How do we control the hunted monsters and gathered herbs? Should we have patrols checking them?" The enforcer that asked this question had their own stack of personal notes and was still writing more.

"We have a dissection area in the basement for adventurers to bring their monsters. The guild staff and party managers are also required to check such items. That does not mean your enforcers can not check them but they will need just cause to search an adventurer. Of course, the rules will push the adventurers to comply with enforcers anyways." Ibis had already thought of this and was glad to share the process that worked for them. 

"Good, then we will easily be able to track the information of nearby monster species and population." This was the goal at the end of the day. 

"The adventurers guild also works alongside the kingdoms' monster researchers. This means the data we gather is sent to them and analyzed. We have discovered many poisons and venoms that alchemists can use or produce antidotes for. This has helped greatly in healing." 

"Oh, so it is similar to a foragers system users. Just every adventurer would participate in it." The other enforcers all understood this and were in support. 

The progress was smooth and Ibus had nothing that was standing out as a problem. Walker was ready to head back inside and move on when he heard Inius calling for him to wait. 

"Walker, from your time here do you believe more duties within the city or without the city will become quests at their guild." This question would also be to the elves but Ibis wanted Walkers' input as well.

Walker was glad to give input here, "From what I see there are many tasks that can be quests for younger adventurers and those learning the laws of the elf city that can be done within the city. In the beginning, there will also be many merchants guarding quests. But later on, there may be a way for the experienced adventurers to assist the enforcers in some way. Especially when it comes to the remnants of the purple slimes. There could be a nice reward for slaying them." 

This was what Ibis had hoped Walker would explain. Having another adventurer's words on the matter showed how the humans would think and how the elves' thinking would also change over time. The enforcers scribbled down notes that could help them with this and how to enforce their laws on top of these values and quests. 

"Thank you for your input. I also need to let you know that Barry will be arriving soon with another important representative." Ibis spoke as if he had just received this information a moment ago. 

"Can you tell me more?" Walker was hesitant to ask this because he was sure another race had not been invited or spoken of coming. Also, Walker believed that Barry was too busy with his current tasks to come here at this moment. 

"Oh, yes. Barry has reached a point in his current task that needs the approval of the elves. It would also benefit him to have the support of other kingdoms as well. Technically I believe everything will fall under the elf kingdom but it should be noted that they are technically separate matters." 

This only made Walker become more confused. He couldn't figure out what the elves would be in control of but also not in control of within their forest. To him, it sounded like Ibis was describing a wild monster or herb. "I see you are still confused, but the answer is walking this way as we speak. I received the system notification from Barry just now that they are being led here for the meeting." Ibis closed his mouth as the doors to the hall opened.
