Chapter 364 - Doragon's Impactful Discovery And Registration Complete!
-----
Doragon's Golden eyes shined brightly, as his Item Inspection Skill was activated!
Veronica and Ervas had already used their Appraisal to check on his entire status and had seen the special Unique Skill they had.
[Item Inspection: Level 10/10]
The Power to be able to inspect any item, from their authenticity, their quality, the materials used to make them, their power, magic capacity, abilities, and more.
…
Both of them had already guessed he would want to check their authenticity by using his most trusted Skill, and so he did.
And just as they thought, Doragon was left surprised…
"(This… it is… authentic! They did not even steal it from someone and modified it, I would have been able to tell if they did! This VIP Card was truly custom made by Willian for Ervas and Veronica!)" thought Doragon, as cold sweat began to drip from his neck, he realized that he was being way too suspicious of Ervas and Veronica, and even a bit unpolite, to the point that he might have… disrespected them.
The Dragon-kin man slowly moved his face away from the VIP Cards, as he gave them a gentle smile.
"It's… authentic… I am sorry for having doubted your identities, Lord Ervas and Lady Veronica!" apologized Doragon, kneeling in the ground!
Ervas and Veronica were taken aback by how much he changed his nature, authority and ranks seemed like everything in Seashore, and it seems that even when Doragon was a Guild Master and an Aristocrat himself, those aristocrats that had VIP Merchant Guild Cards had such authority that even him would be left as some kind of commoner in front of them!
"It's fine, please stand up, Doragon, there is no need to kneel…" said Ervas.
"Yeah! Please stand up! You're the Guild Master, you shouldn't do such a thing!" said Veronica rather flustered.
"A-Ah…! R-Right!" said Doragon, jumping into his chair.
"A-Ahem… W-Well, anyways, now… You wanted to register in the guild?" asked Doragon.
"Yeah, that's why we came here…" said Ervas.
"Indeed, we want to register! I think we got the talent to tame monsters!" said Veronica.
"And… where are the monsters that you have tamed? It is necessary to do a test and all… because it is you two that want to register, I think we can skip it, as long as you show me that your monster obeys you…" said Doragon.
"Monster? They're here, this little rabbit, don't you see it?" asked Veronica, showing a calm horned rabbit to Doragon.
"Eh? I thought that was your pet or something… but… indeed, a Horned Rabbit is… a Rank 1 Monster… so I suppose it does… fit…" said Doragon, glancing at the calm horned rabbit with a bit of awe, the whole time he had thought it was some kind of plushie because it barely moved, it was incredibly calm at Veronica's arms.
"This is my pet- I mean tamed monster," said Ervas, showing his Black Bat, a Rank 1 Monster, to Doragon.
As an experienced monster tamer, seeing people bringing Rank 1 Monsters to register in the guild seemed… rather lackluster.
But because Ervas and Veronica had all of that false authority, he did not want to question them or ask them to come back when their monsters ranked up once or twice.
"I-I see… What are… their names?" asked Doragon.
"Oh… names?" wondered Ervas.
"Name? Hmm… Haru!" said Veronica, naming her Horned Rabbit as Haru.
"I guess I will call mine Vampy," said Ervas while nodding, the bat glared at him cutely.
"(Does he notice that the bat is drinking his blood, or is he fine with that?) I see, Haru and… Vampy… Can you show me that they obey you? Anything would do… like telling the bat to fly and the rabbit to… jump?" asked Doragon.
"Alright, Haru, jump!" said Veronica, putting Haru in the ground as the rabbit suddenly gave a flip!
"(E-Eh?! It really did obey her completely! Is it even physically possible for a rabbit to do a flip like that?!)" thought Doragon.
"Vampy, fly in circles over Doragon's head," said Ervas, as Vampy quickly obeyed him, flapping his wings, and jumping into the air, flying around Doragon's head in circles without any mistake, flawlessly.
"Amazing… w-well did. I can see that both of your tamed monsters are indeed tamed… Very well then, let me fill in the documents and register both of you, there is also a Member Card for the Tamer Guild, and registering costs a little fee as well," said Doragon.
"A fee?" wondered Veronica.
"Now that I think about it, Willian most likely discounted the fee from what he paid us back then… But I guess joining Guilds does indeed cost money… How much?" asked Ervas.
"One Silver Piece," said Doragon.
"Oh that's nothing, keep the charge," said Veronica, throwing a Gold Piece to Doragon.
"E-Eh? Really?" he asked.
"Yeah, anyway, let's wrap this up, shall we?" asked Veronica, as Doragon nodded gently and began to fill in the documents while registering the Tamers.
"Now, we have to register your monsters," said Doragon.
"Oh? Do Monsters also need to be registered like people?" asked Veronica.
"…Yes, this is a Tamer Guild, Lady Veronica, Tamed Monsters must be registered and be given Collars that show that they are tamed monsters, so they can walk at your side in the streets without causing panic," said Doragon.
"Oh, that's rather obvious now that you say so…" said Veronica while rubbing her chin.
"I see, well, you can register them as well," said Ervas.
"Very well… Haru and… Vampy. Horned Rabbit, Rank 1… What's its gender?" asked Doragon to Veronica.
"Haru is a girl of course," said Veronica.
"Female… Very well. Vampy is… male, right?" asked Doragon.
"Last time I checked he was male," said Ervas.
"Alright… And… done," said Doragon, stamping the documents after letting the two tamers sign them.
"Now, the collars… There should be some fitting for a smaller monster inside of my desk… Here, two," said Doragon, giving the special items to Ervas and Veronica.
Ervas and Veronica quickly put the collars into Haru and Vampy, as they seemed mildly annoyed by them.
"Haru-chan, you have to get used to it alright?" asked Veronica.
Haru seemed mildly annoyed but after Veronica spoke to her, she calmed down and began to gently lick her hand.
"Now Vampy, calm down," said Ervas, petting Vampy as the bat quickly relaxed, drinking his blood relaxed him more, of course.
"Anyways, here are your member cards… And well, welcome to the Tamer Guild. It is a pleasure to have new members, which we usually do not have as many…" said Doragon.
"Why? Are Tamers that rare?" asked Veronica.
"Indeed, they are… In fact, we barely get one or two new members per month," sighed Doragon.
"I see… Well, it is still admirable that you made a Tamer Guild even if it was rare for people to be a tamer," said Ervas.
"Indeed, you see, Professional Tamers are often hired to bring back monsters alive, which can be used to extract materials from them more easily, this is why they are profitable," said Doragon.
"Oh, so that's the reason… Do you want us to bring you monsters?" asked Veronica.
"I suppose we could do some business, I will make sure to offer you more payment than in other areas. Of course, I am sure that Willian would not be able to buy monsters alive, he buys their materials at most," said Doragon.
"Sounds like a plan," said Ervas.
"Anyways, we are rather curious about your story, would it be possible to go visit your manor someday?" asked Veronica with a gentle smile, as Doragon was left a bit surprised.
"E-Eh? Y-You want to?" asked Doragon.
"Of course, we would like to make more negotiations with you in a better and more private area," said Ervas.
"That would be… Why, yes, of course, you can!" said Doragon happily.
"Nice to know that you're welcoming of us, even if we are Dhampir and stuff," said Veronica.
"Oh no, Lady Veronica, I am glad to receive such people in my house, we demi-humans must stay together, there are many aristocrats that would look us down," said Doragon.
"I see… So that's how it is in Seashore…" said Ervas.
"I… fear so. I am glad that you two are Dhampirs despite your positions, it seems that Willian is very fond of you even if you are not humans," said Doragon.
"Yes that old man likes what we sell him," said Veronica.
"O-Old man?" asked Doragon.
"Veronica doesn't talk about Willian so disrespectfully," said Ervas.
"Oh, my bad! (I am supposed to be a fine lady…)" said Veronica.
"W-Well if you talk about him like that, I will assume your relationships are quite good! (If she calls Willian 'old man' so openly, these two must be very good acquaintances of him! But what do they even sell to that greedy old pig to be so close to demi-humans? The last time I checked on him he was not that fond of people that was not human, elven, or dwarf…)" laughed Doragon while remembering Willian's past nature, it was as if he had completely shifted his way to be just for Ervas and Veronica!
"I do wonder… What did you… sold to Willian for him to be so close with you two, dear Ervas and Veronica?" asked Doragon politely.
"…It's a secret," said Ervas.
"Yeeaaahh… It would be better to not disclose this information for the moment… Not like it is anything shady! It is just something in between us and Willian," said Veronica.
"I-I see… S-Sorry for trying to intrude in your business" apologized Doragon.
"Anyways, we are off, see you soon," said Veronica.
"Thanks for your patience," said Ervas, as the two split souls walked away from Doragon's office, the man rested on his chair, considering what changes could these two new "aristocrats" bring to Seashore.
Certainly, things were not going to be the same as before.
