"And those are the reasons I think you are better off partnering with the adventurers guild to create an archers academy." ra had sent for someone to bring Gil in to her office. They had a long conversation about why Gil had wanted to potentially make an archery guild. But now that he was hearing what ra thought his ideas had changed.
"If I were to join with you and let the elven archery masters join then the guild would expand. And since there are few archers in other kingdoms then it would expand archery all together." The potential to meet archers of all sorts from every kingdom was a massive draw for Gil. He knew that many would have to be self taught if they were from kingdoms that did not heavily rely on archer.
"It would also allow you to create archery academies in every branch of the adventurers'' guild. I think it would be a very good way to expand the adventurers'' guild but also to attract more people to each city. In particr, Genesis." Since Genesis would have the first archery academy, the best archers woulde here first.
"I think we can agree on that. I don''t think I am really cut out to be in charge of a full blown guild. But, I know that the military academy back home was a big deal. Yet, they were all about guards and soldiers. They didn''t offer sses that were specific to someone''s system. I want that to be a goal of the adventurers'' guild. Look at Remey, her guild will offer that. If archery is going to be an academy within the adventurers'' guild then there should be others." This requirement silenced ra for a moment. She had adapted well to being in charge of the guild. So well that it seemed she had been doing it for her whole life. That only made sense with her system.
"I can make that a goal of the guild. With the adventurer''s guild being so near the alchemy guild we cane together in a way by helping with their and our recruitment efforts. Since there have been rumors of a mage tower then it could even go further. Add in the tamers…well, we will have a very strong educationalwork for the young. Especially people trying to find their systems." ra began to look bigger. She could see a spiderweb of connections growing in to a better future.
"Do you think that the title holder from the forest elves woulde and speak for your academy?" The thought urred to ra that Gil''s rtionship with the forest elves could really spur this academy in to being.
"If I ask he probably would. But to be honest, I have a lot of friends that wille just to steal my arrow ideas." He couldn''t help butugh. ra on the other hand knew that this was more than perfect. The academy would be able to start easily with support from prominent figures in other kingdoms. Especially another title holder.
A soft knock came from the office door. "Come in!"
The attendant that walked in looked pale. I''m sorry t interrupt. But a lot of the staff are feeling tired and a little ill. We may have to call it a day early." ra was shocked. She had just checked the first floor and seen bright and smiling faces before she started talking to Gil. It had only been an hour or so.
"Wow, you really don''t look good. Forget going home. Sit down here and drink this health potion." There was no way to argue with Gil. He helped the woman to sit and handed her one of the heal potions he had handing on his waist.
"I''m really not sure what is going on. It was all of the sudden. A man came to apply but he was talking very softly. Before he left though he said something about being the king. He just seemed odd." The attendant copsed out of the chair. Gil found that she hadpletely passed out and had shallow breathing.
"Hey, hey! Can you hear us?" The attendant wouldn''t wake up at all.
"How can they be this sick? There can''t be anything that does this. It''s like they are out of mana and energy in general. Who was this person calling themselves a king?" ra stood up and started to rush downstairs. When she reached the first floor she found adventurers, attendants, and even a few people there to ce quests on the floor or slumped in chairs. She raised outside and saw a few people stumbling about. The air felt heavy and she could tell her mana and energy, in general, was draining just by being outside. "Gil, stay inside!"
It was toote though. Gil rushed outside as well and nearly fell from the difference in the air. "Just stay inside. I will get to Remey and see if she can make antidotes or something." ra didn''t hesitate to back in to the adventurers'' guild while Gil clenched his jaw and sprinted in to the nearby alchemy guild.
"I need to make sure everyone is alright. ra could see a few people who had bruises or scrapes from falling. It was on her to help them even though she was feeling the effects of this sickness too.
"Remey!" The doors to the alchemy guild were hard to open. But when Gil damaged to push them open he screamed for Remey. But he was not able to get her. He only saw more people unconscious. Trish was working to pour healing potions in people''s mouths as much as possible. Unfortunately, she was in a simr state to Gil. Both found it hard to even speak. "Where is she?" Gil worried more for his party members than anything. Remey was family.
"She''s in a fury. I don''t know where she went…" Trish slipped and barely caught herself. By the time she looked back at Gil he was already unconscious and she was soon to follow.
