Chapter 367 - I SAW YOU!

-----

"T-There are two… two people with… VIP Cards from the Merchant Guild!

" said the dwarf boy, named Potin.

"…VIP Members, here?!

" asked Vairvec in disbelief.

Vairvec glanced at Potin with disbelief, he could not understand what he had just said.

"How could it be possible for VIP Members to be in here, to begin with? Why would any of those aristocrats want to register as an Adventurer? Oi, Potin, are you sure they're real VIP Merchant Guild Members?

" asked Vairvec.

"W-Well… We could call them here, sir, so you can see if they are authentic…

" said Potin.

"Hmph… Alright, bring them here,

" said Vairvec, he was ready to give a good lesson to anyone trying to pretend to be a VIP Member, as anyone with such rings were people considered to be of very high authority.

Potin descended the stairs as he glanced at Ervas and Veronica's party with a worried and forced smile.

"P-Please… sir Vairvec has… called you to their office,

" said Potin rather gently.

"Oh, sure thing! Let's go Ervas,

" said Veronica, as Ervas nodded.

"Let's go,

" said Ervas, accompanied by Percy, Pekorina, Acathea, and Amelia, the party of cute girls and an adorable boy walked upstairs, reaching Vairvec's office, where they met with the stoic-looking Night Elf.

Ervas and Veronica's crimson eyes made him find them immediately odd, he was sure that there were no aristocrats in this city that were… Dhampirs, as he thought they were.

"Dhampirs, huh? I am Vairvec Sinvru, I am the Guild Master of the Adventurers Guild, and yes, I am a Night Elf, no need to stare at me. What might be your names?

" said Vairvec.

"I am Veronica, and this is my little brother, Ervas,

" said Veronica.

"Hm, it is nice to meet you, sir,

" said Ervas.

"I am Pekorina, peko!

" said Pekorina.

"My name is Amelia!

" said Amelia.

"I'm Acathea, nice to meet you, sir,

" said Acathea.

"A-And I am Percy Miller, my lord's assistant,

" said Percy.

"(Lords? They really have a personal servant?) Hmph… I see... Potin told me that you are VIP Members of the Merchant Guild, is this true? Can I see your VIP Cards to confirm?

" asked Vairvec, without noticing that Ervas and Veronica were the same overwhelming presences he felt just a few moments ago, they were particularly good at suppressing their own power.

Ervas and Veronica began to talk through telepathy, as they noticed that Vairvec did not believe them either.

"Another guy that doesn't believe us…

" sighed Ervas.

"Yeah, well it's whatever let's just show him that we are authentic,

" said Veronica.

"Sure thing…

" said Ervas.

Both of them extended their arms towards Vairvec, showing them their VIP Cards.

Vairvec did not have Item Inspection like Doragon but was indeed very good at discerning items by just his sight.

And he spent several minutes looking at the cards.

Ervas and Veronica even let him touch it, see every detail of it.

Vairvec looked for any sign of them being false but found nothing.

They were completely authentic.

The Night Elf was left in disbelief, he almost did not believe what was happening right now.

These Dhampirs that came out of nowhere, from a family named Igni which he had never heard about suddenly showed up and called themselves Aristocrats, asking for rights to register quickly and be given better treatment than normal folk.

This really made him angry, and he would have most likely tried to smack Ervas and Veronica if they were actually lying.

But it was an authentic card, and he was in the wrong.

Now, he had just disrespected people with high authority.

Although his strength was like that of an S-Rank Adventurer which he was hiding behind the façade of a retired A-Rank Adventurer, Vairvec still had to obey high authority aristocrats that moved the world and decided the fate of thousands of people.

Perhaps he was strong and held great riches due to his history and the countless treasures he had accumulated through his long life of dungeon exploring, but he still had to hold some respect to the aristocrats of the country he lived in.

Even more, because he had requested them to not bother him with the business anymore, and because they had indeed stopped bothering him, he felt rather at fault to insult such people back by not believe some new members of their society.

Vairvec was strong and had a lot of experience, so he did not felt all too fearful or concerned like Doragon did, but he felt rather bitter, and sighed.

"I… I apologize for not having been capable of discerning your authenticity, please excuse my… rudeness,

" he sighed.

"No worries,

" said Veronica.

"Yeah, we are new in here and we got the VIP Membership Card from Willian by doing some business, so it's normal for you to not believe it,

" said Ervas.

"Eh? Really? What kind of… business did you do for him to just give you away from a VIP Card like that so easily?

" asked Vairvec.

"Well, we gave him a sack of ores,

" said Veronica.

"We gathered them for… years,

" said Ervas.

"…I see. (A SACK OF ORES?! What?! I don't understand any of this at all! How is it possible to sell a sack of ores for so much money to the point that Willian gifted them such a precious item out of the blue?! Not even I has been given one, and I have worked with his family guild ever since he was a toddler!)

" said Vairvec, while mentally ranting about how these random guys could get something he had never gotten on his long life.

"I see that you're a bit irritated, is there something in your mind you want to tell us?

" asked Ervas.

"Yeah, are you okay? Maybe he has a fever?

" asked Veronica.

"No there's no way. (I mean look at his stats, also he has high-level status effect resistance and a lot of HP, so I don't think he would ever get sick)

" said Ervas, while telepathically speaking to Veronica.

"(Oh you're right, this guy is pretty beefy despite being so slim… Oh, is he an S-Rank Adventurer? Pretty cool…)

" answered Veronica through telepathy.

"(Indeed, he seems decently strong.)

" said Ervas telepathically.

"I-I… No, I am fine, excuse my face, I have… not slept for a while. Anyways, you want to register in the Adventurer Guild? I see no issue with that but… Why? You have a lot of money and see in good terms with Willian, and you're already part of his guild, what's there n my guild that you would even find worthwhile?

" asked Vairvec rather honestly, disregarding if he sounded bold and disrespectful, as he noticed that the two in front of him didn't care about politeness.

"Lord Vairvec I believe it is very rude to ask my Lords that directly… There may be things that they would want to keep a secret,

" said Percy.

"No, Percy, it's fine,

" said Veronica.

"Yeah, in fact, we just registered in the Tamer Guild, this is Vampy,

" said Ervas.

"And this is Haru,

" said Veronica.

"Eh?! T-Those are monsters?! They were so quiet I thought they were some kind of doll or clothes…

" said Vairvec.

"Yeah they're Rank 1 Monsters,

" said Veronica.

"We registered in the tamer guild because we wanted to be tamers and carry our monster's pets around. And we want to be adventurers because we want to help them train while completing quests,

" said Ervas very coherently.

"Yeah, we want to have some fun, meeting new people, and get around in here. You seem pretty friendly too, Vairvec-san,

" said Veronica.

"Friendly? Me? Ahem, yes of course… I… well if that's your intention I don't see why I shouldn't help you register… Do you want to register the girls with you too?

" asked Vairvec.

"Yeah!

" said Pekorina.

"These two girls still don't have citizenship registrations, can they get registered too with your authority?

" asked Ervas.

"(Rather straightforward, huh? Asking me to bend the rules because you have an authority… But, I don't really care about the rules in the first place…) Erm. Sure… As long as you pay enough,

" said Vairvec.

"No problem, here, this should be enough!

" said Veronica, dropping a large golden nugget over the desk!

Clank!

"WHAT?!

"

Vairvec was startled!

Out of nowhere, Veronica had created a large golden nugget through Golem Creation in front of his face!

Indeed… he saw her create it! Not like other people who had simply thought she took it out of an Inventory Spell…

No, Vairvec was as strong as an S-Rank Adventurer, his powers, stats, and skills were all high level, especially his perception and vision, and even more his magic perception!

For that very little moment that Veronica took producing this nugget, he saw her pour a ridiculous amount of Mana into the palm of her hands, and then suddenly transmute her own mana into pure an actual gold!

It was as if she had the power to bind the molecules of reality and produce a completely different material just with Mana, something that was always believed to be impossible for mere mortals, something that was only thought possible for Gods!

Yet… in front of him, Vairvec saw it!

And basing it in the mana used and in the amazing showcase of creation ability… Vairvec was shocked, almost falling off the chair!

"Impossible… just… You… millions… millions of Mana! How?! HOW?!

" asked Vairvec, freaking out!

Ervas and Veronica glanced at Vairvec, as Percy tried to calm him down.

"Please sir calm down! We can explain it!

" said Percy.

"Yeah, I have spatial magic, I brought it from there,

" said Veronica.

"Spatial… Magic?! You are not… tricking anyone! I SAW IT! I saw her… creating something out of nowhere!

" said Vairvec, his intrigue, concern, and fear over Ervas and Veronica growing bigger!
