After the black glass ball filled,
the color stopped increasing and disappeared,
and the ball returned to its original state.
Suzi stood silently for a moment, her smile fading into a frown.
She approached the glass ball and began pumping her magical energy into it,
causing a blue color to engulf the ball, revealing the C-rank.
Suzi sighed and looked at Karsa, saying,
"Could you wait here a few moments, sir? I'll be back in a few moments."
Karsa remained silent and stayed in a room waiting for Suzi,
who went upstairs and entered a room marked
"Office of the Branch Guild Director."
Suzi entered a room filled with weapons, books,
and scattered papers.
At the front was a simple wooden desk with a mountain of papers piled high on top,
obscuring the view behind it.
A very thin man with a face, short black hair, and tired black eyes stood on top of it.
He was very thin, wearing a green leather shirt and simple black leather pants. A small, warm smile played on his face as he said in a gentle voice,
"It seems our guest has surprised you, Suzi .."
Suzi smiled and sighed, saying, "Yes, indeed... Huh?! How did you know that, you...!"
In one swift motion, a man appears behind Suzi and strikes her on the neck,
knocking her unconscious.
A man catches Suzi before she falls to the ground and says,
"Well... this is my mission to find out...
what's the point of being one of the Guardians of the Four Guild if I can't even detect one of the most powerful creatures in my own backyard?"
Name: Johnny Morris
Race: Human
Branch Master of the Hunters Guild in Ramona City
One of the Four Guardians of the Hunters Guild
Level: Unknown
After its formation, the Hunters Guild faced several problems,
including attempts by its most powerful members to seize control of the guild.
Therefore, the guild found a solution:
placing its four strongest and most trusted members in a position directly under the Guild Master to protect the guild from corruption.
This position was filled by the Four Guardians, who are distributed across the continent in four directions:
North, South, West, and East. The man about to meet Karsa is Johnny Morris, the Guardian of the South.
In a white room, Johnny slowly opens the door, smiling gently.
Karsa remains silent. He just watched Johnny slowly approach Karsa.
Johnny extended his hand to Karsa, saying with a sly smile, "Johnny Morris, Guardian of the South for the Hunters Guild, salutes General of the Sun, Karsa..."
Karsa shook Johnny's hand, saying calmly, his eyes sharp, "And to you...
I'm not trying to interfere in your guild's affairs, but for your employee to faint...
isn't that a bit much?"
Johnny laughed, his smile even more sly, "Hehe, don't worry, I put her on a bed to rest... Suzi is a smart girl, I would never hurt her."
Karsa fell silent and released Johnny's hand.
Johnny noticed the Molossus device and said, stepping towards it,
"This device... I don't think it's ever experienced the W rank in its life..."
Karsa was surprised and asked, "What's the W rank?"
Johnny paused, then looked at Karsa and said, "Never mind, just another rank... I think the High Court Master Mong got the same result as you... Anyway,
Great General of the Sun, it seems you need an ID, right?
Can I ask what you intend to use it for?"
Karsa paused, then sighed. "I can't go around showing the General's code to every guard...
I need your card...
it will make things much easier."
Johnny stepped closer to Karsa with a smile.
"And what do we gain by getting involved with one of the Great Eight?"
Karsa remained silent, then sighed. "What do you want?"
Johnny clapped his hands, still smiling. "As expected of a General of the Sun, very clever...
hehe. Yes, I have a very, very small request.
I promise to give you a Hunter's Card with a fake rank to avoid detection,
but on one very, very small condition."
Karsa looked at Johnny with some annoyance.
Johnny replied, feigning displeasure, "Oh, don't be like that, my great,
powerful, magnificent General of the Sun...
All I want from you is to get rid of a problem that's been lurking around my territory and is very annoying."
Karsa sighed deeply. "What is it?"
he asked irritably. Johnny smiled and said, while He moved closer to Karsa.
"Do you know Rokhovaz, the king of the Red Dragon Tribe?
Actually, about a month ago, his third son, Zalza, started wandering around for some reason,
harassing the female hunters who hunt monsters beside him.
This has caused a lot of damage to the guild and the city...
I just want you to catch him, give him a good scolding,
and then bring him to us so we can hand him over to his family. That's all."
Karsa remained silent, then said with a suspicious look, "Why don't you do it yourself?
I'm sure you could easily defeat and capture Rokhovaz's son with your strength."
Johnny was silent for a moment before saying very calmly, "It seems I can't escape the eyes of the Great Sun General...
Yes, you're right... I could easily catch that naughty kid and give him a good beating,
but he's still the son of the Red Dragon Tribe king,
and Rokhovaz will never be quiet if we do that.
He might even declare war, and the Supreme Court would get involved, and blah blah blah,
and we don't want to escalate things too much, frankly...
But things will be different with you, General.
If you were to capture Rokhovaz's son,
Rokhovaz would never dare to bother you ,
and perhaps to save his reputation,
he would thank you for disciplining his son..."
Karsa smiled, then said, "You remind me of someone...
I think the High Court would suit you better, Guardian."
Johnny remained silent until Karsa said confidently,
"Give me that boy's location, and I'll bring him to you before the end of the afternoon...
Prepare an identification card in the meantime."
Johnny smiled and bowed his head, saying gratefully,
"Thank you, Great Sun General...
The Hunters' Guild will never forget your kindness...
But I'd like to ask you a question, if you don't mind."
Karsa remained silent, still looking at Johnny coldly,
until Johnny said, "May I know your next destination?"
karsa said with a cold tone
"The Duchy of Zatopia... I have some heads to smash,"
Johnny said coldly.
"It seems a great storm is coming to the Green Forest Kingdom.
May I know why you forced the sun to rise early several days ago?
Was your enemy really that strong?"
Karsa smiled and said calmly, "No... it's just...
I think I saw something that made me nostalgic for my past..."
Johnny fell silent, then lowered his head, saying, "Thank you for your time.
Your card will be ready soon. Thank you again."
Karsa left the room, heading towards his next destination:
to punish Rokhovaz's son, the third son of the Red Dragon King.
