บท 185: Luminous Gryphon

"The Guild has offered to… pay for the cost of this blood now. Once the investigation is over and you receive your reward, they would take an extra fee on top of what you pay for the blood." The owner smiled awkwardly since the price they wanted to take from Alice was quite substantial.

"They wanted to take an extra 15 gold, meaning you'll have to pay 50 gold in total for the vial." 

". . ." Alice was speechless. The Guild wanted to take 15 gold from her even though they were the ones holding the gold and stopping her from buying things. 

Furrowing her brows, Alice massaged her eyes before nodding.

"Fine alright. Let them take the gold since I'm in need of this vial." 

Hearing this, the owner apologized once more as he made his way to the back and prepared a vial containing Warden of Frost Blood. 

After preparing a vial of blood, he handed her a Law of Agreement which she read carefully and agreed to.
