Chapter 545: Dangerous winds ahead

Erik entered the administration center at the gate hub, the heart of Testrovsc's Rest's bureaucratic machinery. The hum of activity was incessant, with administrators moving to and fro, engaging in animated discussions, and hunching over desks piled with papers.

The high ceiling and broad windows allowed golden beams of sunlight to filter in, casting the vast room in a warm glow.

At one of the counters stood a stout woman with spectacles perched on her nose. Erik went to the counter, and the woman started, "Ah, Mr. Kay," she greeted, scrolling through a tablet. "Good morning; I just completed the quest I took at the guild hall," the young man said.

"Let's see... and Erendu Killing quest."

"Yes, and I killed five Erendus," Erik replied.

"These beasts' worth is around 7000 Eurems each. Do you want to sell them to us or do otherwise?"

"Otherwise," he replied.

Erik patiently awaited as she scribbled some calculations, "That's 20,000 Eurems for the quest completion."
