Unfettered - II

The Executioner's Guild headquarters was not a grim building; on the contrary, it was grand and imposing, quite contrary to its name. 

There were no guards at the door, and in the guild hall, a few people were sitting, either drinking and chatting or discussing matters, giving it a somewhat deserted look.

"Hello, adventurer. How can I assist you?" 

The receptionist's polite greeting made her seem more like a dedicated service worker from a commercial guild than from an adventurer's guild.

"I'd like to take on a commission," Ansel said straightforwardly. "Something simple and direct."

"A commission?" 

The receptionist seemed a bit surprised but didn't ask further. She skillfully took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Ansel. 

"Alright, please sign here... Someone will soon take you for a capability assessment. After a brief test, you can take on commissions from the bulletin board."
