Chapter 1597 1597. Mysterious Guild Member
“What happened to you? I can’t contact you all this time!” Grace said to Jack after letting go of her hug.
Jack ended up having to narrate his story for the second time. The others ignored the two. Paytowin left to rest. John and Tip continued working with the control platform while discussing the guild’s development. Now that Jeanny was not around, John had to spare half of his time at the guild to help Tip manage.
“Somebody from our guild tipped the League of Champions and the Assassins Guild?” Grace asked when Jack explained about Ragorth and Hashi arriving and saving them.
“Oh, right! That reminds me. Tip…! Do you know anything about our guild member that goes by the name Quiet?” Jack asked.
“Who?” Tip asked back.
“Quiet. Pull up the member’s name list. She is in there,” Jack said.
“If I have to pull up the name list, then she is just a regular unremarkable member. I know nothing about her,” Tip replied.
“If she was unremarkable, how did she manage to persuade two renowned factions to come to my help and even know where we were being held? Not to mention she also had two Divine Might Potion which she willingly handed out for free. I at first thought she had been tasked by Jeanny. But after hearing what happened to Jeanny, I know she is not. Did you send her?”
Jack asked John.
“I’ve never been in contact nor heard that name before,” John replied.
“Can this platform check the history of our members?” Jack asked.
“A moment, please,” Tip stopped what he was doing and changed the interface to the one that showed guild members. He scrolled to the name, Quiet.
“She is not an old member. She joined this guild around two months ago,” Tip informed.
‘Around the time Grace and I left for the Council of Charites,’ Jack thought.
Tip continued, “She is a diligent member. She completed all her weekly tasks without fail. She was one of our members who didn’t join the Palgrost war, but in exchange, she completed the additional tasks given to her. She also went on several guild-appointed team quests since she joined. The quests were just normal difficulty, nothing special to be mentioned about.”
John was taking out a pile of bound papers from his inventory. He was currently flipping the pages.
“I requested all the leaders of the teams who do guild-appointed quests to compile a report whenever the quests are completed,” John informed. “Those reports are all given to Jeanny, to which I have a copy. These reports are not only about the quests but also about the members who participated. How good and how cooperative they are. What their attitudes are. This allows us to have a better understanding of our members. Whether they are worthy members to keep and develop. Tell me all the quests this Quiet was involved in.”
Tip told John the information he asked for. John flipped the pages several times to study the data while Jack and Grace waited.
After a while, John said, “Mm… Well, I can tell you that there is nothing special about this Quiet. None of the leaders mentioned anything much about her other than that she is obedient and a decent healer. Her expertise is just so-so, nothing worth mentioning. She is also very quiet and keeps to herself. Hm… Now, I get why she chose her alias.”
“Where is she now? I would like to talk to her,” Jack said.
“Let me see… Huh? It says here she is in an unknown place,” Tip said after using the guild platform.
“Unknown?”
“Probably like when you were trapped in the Order of Magi or Council of Charites,” John deduced.
“Do you have her on your friend list? Can you try calling her?” Jack asked.
“If she is in an undetected place, she probably can’t be contacted,” John said.
“No harm in trying,” Jack returned.
“We can try calling her in the guild chat, but this platform can send private messages to all guild members. Let me try that,” Tip answered.
“Huh… She answered,” Tip said after some time. “I told her you want to talk to her but she replied that she is unavailable for now. She also apologized that she won’t be able to complete this week’s tasks but promised to perform double the next week.”
“I assume this meant she is not joining our offensive campaign again, is she?” Jack asked.
Tip checked the data on the platform. “You are correct. She isn’t among the ones registered for the guild quest to help Themisphere in this coming campaign.”
“What a mysterious member,” Grace remarked.
“I think there is more to her than meets the eye,” Jack said.
“Whatever it is, we don’t have the time for her,” John said. “We have enough to deal with the coming campaign. Tip, make a note the next time you assign her a quest, you place her on the same team as our core members. If possible, have someone with good judgment.”
“Ask me when that comes up, I would very much like to go on a quest with her and see what kind of a person she is,” Grace said.
“I just want to talk to her,” Jack said. “Let me know when she is back.”
“Okay, boss and madam boss,” Tip responded.
The four chatted for a bit more before they retired for the night. When Jack was about to leave, Tip said to him, “Check the warehouse section for guild leaders. Jeanny copied something recently and put it there for you. She probably left it there because she had a hunch she might not meet you for some time.”
Jack thanked Tip for the info and headed to the guild warehouse. He was going there anyway to place some of the loot from Janus. These were loots that he had no use for. They consisted of a bunch of materials, several super rare equipment, and one unique equipment.
After donating these items to the warehouse, Jack checked the guild leader’s section. He immediately identified the item Tip meant. It was a technique book containing a skill for the Beastmaster class. He was the only one among the three guild leaders with the Beastmaster class.
The skill inside the book was called Demonize Pet.
