Ian climbed the stairs and stepped onto the third floor of the guild for the first time.
Compared to the noisy first and second floors, a quiet and chilly atmosphere flowed through the third.
Having received a summons from Rebecca through a guild messenger who visited the inn early in the morning, Ian arrived at the guild with the items Rebecca had requested.
He had been told he would be called eventually, but...
Ian hadn't expected to be called during this peak period when even Rebecca herself would be incredibly busy. He had assumed it would be for a more personal matter.
The reason wasn't written down, but there could only be one reason to be called to the guild at a time like this.
Guided by a staff member, he arrived in front of a room on the third floor. Upon knocking, the door opened with a prompt to enter, and Ian stepped into the conference room.
Several people inside the room turned their gazes toward him.
A few familiar faces, and a few he didn't recognize.
