Another teammate?

"What? But how would that help get rid of Alan?"

"Well you can take a leave of absence without leaving city guard. Once we are in the party, we can share expenses and you don't have to worry about the money. We will leave this city and go to the closest city and work there as adventurers for some time. Once we have confirmed that Alan has given up his pursuit of you, you can go back to the city guard. This way you are not leaving your hometown permanently, you don't have to worry about the money and most importantly Alan wouldn't know how to find you!"

Leana didn't immediately reject my offer which gave me hope. After considering what I had said for almost half a minute she finally sighed and said, "I accept your offer. Thank you for taking me in"

"You don't have to thank me. After all you are my saviour and this is the least I can do" I hadn't really consulted with Turek and Cleo but I saw that they approved of my offer.

"We are going to the guild now to finish our quest. Do you want to join us? We could register you as an adventurer at the same time" said Cleo

"Umm… sure. Let me get changed to my normal clothes and talk with the captain about the leave.

"Sure. We will wait outside"

Leana came out 5 minutes later in city clothes. I was right about her, she really had a great body. It was fuller than Cleo's and very curvy. It seemed well trained as her muscles were also visible.

She went to ask something to the guard nearby and then went up the wall using the stairs nearby. She came down 10 minute later and said

"It's all taken care of. I talked with the captain and he also thinks this is a good idea. But he said it might be better if I left the guards rather than take a leave. If I take a leave, the Earl might still be able to use his power to cancel my leave. If that happens and I am not there to report back to the duty, I would be punished severely for desertion. So I decided that I will leave the city guard and join back once things are better."

"Alright, if you are all good then let's go to the guild."

We returned to the guild around 6pm. Once inside, we went to the drop off and handed our Winterrot plants. The guild worker marked our quest complete after examining the plants and said "These are good quality Winterroot plants! You didn't harm its roots either. You guys are quite good."

We thanked the guild worker and took the quest form to the registration booth. I didn't see Miss Melaine today so we took the form to another beautiful woman sitting behind the desk. I was right, they did choose people for his job based on their looks.

Turek handed his guild card and the quest form to the woman. She took it with a smile and asked Turek about the quest. Turek told her everything except about Alan and his slaves. Once she checked out the form and had heard the story, she handed the reward to Turek.

"So that's 2 silvers for the quest reward and another 11 for the Winterroot plants. Here is 13 silver and this will be included in your achievements for the guild promotions. Since this was an F ranked quest done by an unranked adventurer, it will be counted highly. Is this your party behind you?"

She looked at me, Cleo and Leana and asked.

"Yes this is my party. Leana is still not registered and we would like to register her as adventurer"

"Oh? The reason I asked is, since this was F ranked quest and all of your party is unranked, I can give some of the credit to them as well. Can you two hand me your guild cards?"

Cleo and me handed out the Ids. She made an entry in her log and returned our cards.

"So you want to register as an adventurer?" She asked Leana

"Yes"
