Chapter 6: [6] True Intentions!
Eina, as a guild staff member, was not used to being scrutinized with such gazes.
For a moment, she felt a bit uneasy and a hint of anxiety appeared on her face.
"August, tone it down a bit!"
Riveria also noticed August's gaze and immediately spoke up.
This instantly woke up August, who was immersed in his own world. Seeing Eina's obvious awkward expression, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
In every otaku's heart, there is definitely an ambition for a crystal palace, and August is no exception.
But expressing such thoughts to an elf girl on the first meeting—if not for Riveria, August would have already been kicked out of the guild.
Although the guild is not a familia, it is still part of Ouranos.
"I'm really sorry. It's just that Miss Eina is exceptionally beautiful!"
"N-No problem."
Being praised by the opposite sex for the first time, Eina also felt a bit delighted. After all, any woman cares about her appearance.
Riveria, on the other hand, looked at August thoughtfully.
As a high elf and a level 6 mage, she naturally noticed some clues.
The new person she discovered probably has a liking for women.
In Orario, this is not uncommon. Some people are fond of women, some of wealth, and some of power. It's all normal.
However, whether one can control their desires is a question. If August can't control himself, it will undoubtedly lead to a lot of trouble in the future, even involving the familia.
"Eina, register this guy's information!"
"Yes, Lady Riveria!"
Eina entered work mode, took out a form from a drawer, and handed it to August.
August glanced at it, there wasn't much to fill out.
Name, gender, age, affiliated familia, level, when joined the familia, and some basic information. This was just a simple statistic and management for adventurers.
As for authenticity, there wasn't much, especially for the level. Many familia members concealed their levels, and the practice of acting weak while strong was not uncommon. Leaving a bit of a trump card is always good.
"Alright, Miss Eina!"
"Okay!"
"Alright, registration is complete. Congratulations, Mr. August, you are officially an adventurer!"
Upon completing August's form, Eina stamped it with the guild's seal and then put it away.
"Oh, Mr. August, do you need an adventurer consultant?"
"Adventurer consultant?"
"Yes!"
"Any requirements?"
"It's just that in the future, when you exchange magic stones, they will charge you a 5% fee!"
For the average adventurer, this fee is not high because their income itself is not much. 5% isn't a significant amount for them.
However, an adventurer consultant can provide a lot of help to adventurers.
Regarding dungeon strategies, tier information, and even helping adventurers connect with others for teaming up.
For guild staff, the salary issued by the guild is not high. The real big share comes from the income of these adventurer consultants.
Even Eina, although just a staff member, owns her house in Orario.
In this expensive Orario, buying a house individually is extremely difficult.
"Well, it's just 5%. Consider it an apology to Miss Eina!"
"How can this be? I..."
"Alright, Miss Eina, please take care of me in the future!"
"Ah, okay!"
Riveria watched all this with a slight sigh. She feared that her junior might have set his sights on this little pervert.
Riveria and Eina's mother were old acquaintances, so seeing Eina in this situation gave her a feeling of having her friend's cabbage stolen.
"Well, let's go to the dungeon now!"
"Sure!"
Hearing Riveria's words, August responded immediately.
As for chasing girls, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now, the most important thing is to get stronger, only by becoming stronger can he have everything.
"Then let's leave!"
"Yes, Lady Riveria!"
For Riveria, Eina showed great respect by bowing slightly.
Because Riveria is her mother's friend, a member of the elf royal family, and a top adventurer in Orario.
Regardless of her identity, she needs to show utmost respect to Riveria.
After leaving the guild hall, Riveria's pace slightly slowed.
"If you really want to pursue that girl, don't hurt her feelings!"
"Hmm?"
Confused, August looked at Riveria.
"Her mother and I are old acquaintances. If you're just looking to play around, then don't disturb her!"
The meaning was already clear— if you're just looking to play around, then drop your intentions.
"Beautiful women are treasures. I intend to include all treasures in my vault. While I'm not a faithful man, once something becomes my treasure, it naturally belongs to me forever!"
"..."
Riveria didn't say anything, but her gaze was fixed on August, her attitude unclear.
Elves are extremely loyal when it comes to love. Once they choose a partner, they remain dedicated for a lifetime. Even if the partner dies, elves won't seek another and will age in solitude.
For example, Eina's mother coupled with a human, giving birth to the half-elf Eina.
If a hot-tempered elf heard August's words, he might have already shot August full of arrows.
It's like a sea king telling a chaste woman that his dream is the vast sea of stars.
"If it were a few years ago, you might already be crippled now!"
After saying this, Riveria ignored August and continued walking forward.
August understood Riveria's meaning, but he didn't argue or explain anything.
After going through a transmigration and possessing a system, if he couldn't act freely, that would be a failure.
He used to be a cog in society, but now, given this opportunity, he naturally wanted to live freely.
Strength! Beautiful women! Power! and more Power!
These were things he could only observe from a distance in the past, unable to touch.
Now, he had the qualifications to obtain everything, so why not claim it all?
This was the most accurate portrayal of August's current mindset. He wanted to gain everything, and in the future, he would naturally act accordingly.
