"Grand Judge personally came forward and said that there is no problem in establishing Adventurer's Guild in Nafu City, but the process must be followed."
Claire pursed his lips and frowned. With the help of the Guen Family and Shane, Grand Judge was indeed not stuck with the approval documents. However, if the normal process was followed, it would take at least half a year or almost a year. It is not impossible to wait, but it is not necessary.
"The church came forward?" Claire asked.
Shane shook his head, but before he spoke, Claire said to himself, "Probably not. The church shouldn't be so stupid. They won't take the initiative to provoke me in a short time."
"Is that the problem with this Grand Judge?" Claire suddenly looked at Shane and asked, "What's the reputation of this Grand Judge? Is there any scandal of accepting money from others?"
Shane dragged his chin and thought for a while before replying, "It's good. There is no gossip about this. Everyone's evaluation of him is fair and selfless. He has no other shortcomings except his close relationship with the church."
"It shouldn't be because he wants to blackmail me and make profits for himself." However, Claire hopes that this is the reason. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and those that cannot be solved with money are the most troublesome.
"It's not like we can't wait for one or two years." Shane patted Claire on the shoulder and comforted.
Claire lowered his head, shook his head, and asked, "Is there any way you can let me see him?"
"Who?"
"Grand Judge."
Shane looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Let alone me, my father is not familiar with him, we are just acquaintances. Coupled with his identity, it is very difficult for ordinary people to see him."
Claire still doesn't want to give up. The skills he has learned in the past two years are enough to make Nafu City run faster for ten years. If it were not for uncontrollable factors, Claire doesn't want to delay it anymore.
"Then you know where his mansion is..."
Claire Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of pushing the door outside.
Shane then noticed that they were still talking in the store. Customers should have come in to buy goods now, so he walked into the house and said, "Let's go in and talk. There are many people outside."
Claire nodded, and just as he was about to follow him, a word came from the other side of the door.
"Viscount Claire is here? My master asked me to come over and deliver the letter."
Shane stopped and looked at Claire. Claire also had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know many people in the capital, and those he knew wouldn't send letters to him in this way.
After Claire took the envelope from the other party, before he had time to ask the other party, the servant who gave it away turned around and left Tulip Shop.
"Viscount Claire Yourselves!" Claire read out the words above gently, then tore off the paint on it, shook it and took out the envelope inside.
The above is a simple sentence:
"We specially invite Viscount Claire, the lord of Griffin Barony, to come to my humble home at eight o'clock in the evening on December 17th."
"Signed by: Count Joseph"
Claire was still confused after reading it. He waved the envelope in front of Shane's eyes, "Who is this Count Joseph? I don't seem to have any impression."
Shane's eyes were fixed on the signature of the signer, and he replied without looking back, "There is only one Count Joseph in the capital, and that is the current Grand Judge..."
Claire's eyes immediately narrowed, and he looked at the letter in his hand again, and read it carefully.
"Humble house... this letter is quite polite... it seems like there is a reason why you did that, right? Just to meet and talk with me?"
Shane said worriedly, "Are you going?"
Claire folded the envelope back in his hand and replied, "Why not go? If he doesn't invite me, I will take the initiative to find him."
"By the way, where is the mansion of Grand Judge?"
"It's near Lady Sophia's mansion, you just need to..."
In Grand Judge's mansion, Claire was led to the living room by the maid.
"Sir, please wait a moment, my master will be here soon."
Claire nodded, casually sat on the sofa, and began to look at the surrounding environment. He had been to the home of Sophia and the home of Hubert. The decoration styles of the three They are all different. The one in Sophia's home has a low-key and luxurious decoration style, the one in Hubert's home has a more rough and bold style, and the one in Grand Judge's home is a bit too simple.
Even the pastries presented in front of Claire were mediocre. After Claire tasted one, he no longer had the desire to eat it. It was not as if they were used to entertain guests, but as if they were used to drive away guests.
Claire didn't sit for long when the door to the living room was pushed open.
Claire looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a round waist and a fat belly and a gray beard walked in. There were gold chain glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, which showed his temperament and suppressed the negative impression brought by his fat body. On the contrary, the fat body gave people a very reliable feeling.
After seeing Claire, Joseph showed a friendly smile and walked up quickly.
"Long wait."
Claire also stood up politely, trying to maintain a certain level of dignity before breaking out.
"I just arrived not long ago, Joseph Grand Judge arrived very quickly."
"Hahahaha." Joseph smiled generously, then waved his hand towards the sofa, "Don't stand and talk, let's sit down and talk."
After the other party sat down, Claire also sat back on the sofa. Joseph glanced at the moved pastries on the table and said rather embarrassedly, "Oh, I don't often have guests here, so I'm not very well prepared in this regard. I asked someone to buy some new pastries."
Claire stretched out his hand to stop the other party, "I just tasted it at my leisure, no need to bother."
At the same time, there was an awkward feeling in his heart. It wasn't that the Joseph in front of him gave him a bad impression, but that it was too good. From the moment they met, Claire couldn't feel anything annoying about the other person.
If the other party is really as good as you think, why would you hinder your guild plan? But if I really feel wrong, then this Grand Judge is really a hidden character.
"Grand Judge why did you come to me?" Claire asked straight to the point.
"Viscount Claire wants to open Adventurer's Guild in Nafu City, right?"
"That's the idea."
Joseph looked into Claire's eyes with a smile and asked, "Guen Family, Lady Sophia, and Count Norton submitted the application for you. Do you just have an idea?"
"Maybe it's because of my popularity."
Joseph The corners of his mouth turned up when he heard this, but he controlled it very well and did not laugh.
"Back to the topic just now, you want to open Adventurer's Guild at Nafu City, but I checked the basic information of Nafu City, and it seems that it does not meet the conditions for opening Adventurer's Guild."
Claire thought to himself: Are you planning to start with me and then ask me to give up on building a guild?
However, Claire still responded calmly, "Nafu City is only a hundred miles away from the branch mountain range of the Monster Mountain Range. There are sufficient resources for both World of Warcraft and other magic materials. As long as Adventurer's Guild opens E, then countless adventurers will come. Opening Adventurer's Guild in Nafu City will be beneficial to both of us. I don't see any disadvantages. Why doesn't Grand Judge agree?"
