Transmigrated as a Ghost

Marcus and Mrazivý spent the better part of the day going through and planning out what they needed to for their engagement party.

Though while they were deciding on the last few minor details, Mrazivý’s personal attendant came back and told them that the king had called for them.

“Looks like it is time.” Marcus said as he put down the documents that were in his hand.

He and Mrazivý both knew what was going on. It was time for them to go and be questioned by the adventurers guild.

The guild naturally wanted to know all it could about a level ninety-three monster suddenly appearing, and as Marcus was the first one to discover it, his insights were at the top of their list.

At the same time Mrazivý was the one who contacted them as a not only a member of Borealia’s royal family, but also a high-ranking adventurer who was acting as the go between for the kingdom and the guild.

However, both of them had also been warned of the guild’s secondary goal of bringing either or both of them deeper into their fold._.

When they arrived before the king, they both went to kneel and bow their heads as was customary, but he simply waved his hand and told them to remain standing.

“No need for formalities when there is no one else around.” The king said.

After that he beckoned them to sit across form them and made sure that their stories were straight before they attended the meeting with the guild.

Once that preliminary meeting was finished, they were soon brought to where the guild’s officials were waiting for the both of them.

When they arrived, they saw that there were five people sitting at the table waiting for them.

Of them Marcus only recognized one which was the guild master of the guild’s headquarters in Borealia’s royal capital.

Mrazivý on the other handed recognized one more of them and knew quite well the woman sitting immediately to the left of the guild master who was his second in command and the vice-guild master.

Yet neither of these two important figures were sitting in the middle, which was occupied by a large and gruff looking man with light reddish-brown hair that was slightly graying.

The guy was absolutely titanic in size being over seven feet tall and he gave off a very intimidating aura.

To his right were two other people unfamiliar to either Mrazivý or Marcus, one of whom was a young-looking girl with blonde hair that Marcus could tell was a halfling, while the other was another battle-hardened man at an advanced age with a fully bald head.

‘Marcus, the woman sitting next to the guild master is the vice-guild master. Her name is Astrid and I know she is an experienced mithril rank adventurer over level sixty-five. The other three I assume are the leaders of the force that gathered to help subjugate the Doomsday Worm, though I have not met them myself since the guild master and vice guild master were always my go between.’ Mrazivý said to Marcus with telepathy to tell him what she knew.

Yet before he could respond a sudden interruption from a third party was heard inside their minds.

‘Oh, there is no need for you to have any private conversations like that. We will gladly explain who everyone here is for the two of you.’

Eyes wide both Marcus and Mrazivý stopped and looked towards the source of the intruder and stared warily at the halfling girl.

Of all of them she seemed to be the least dangerous looking based on her appearance, but appearances were deceiving and there was no doubt she was just as strong as those around her.

‘Telepathy Jack!’ Marcus thought with surprise.

It was a rare skill that allowed someone to infiltrate on telepathic conversations that they were not a part of.

Though it was not something most people would ever have or really care to want since its uses were limited, but when it did come into play it was highly effective.

‘At least she warned us here. There was no need to do that. She could have just kept listening and we would have been none the wiser.’

Naturally if the halfling woman was giving them a warning that any secret conversations were not going to get by and that he and Mrazivý would not be able to communicate to each other without it being heard.

The two of them after recovering from their shock moved to sit down and waited for the guild’s inquires to begin.

“Now as I know everyone here before, allow me to introduce everyone that has gathered here today for this inquiry into the appearance of another doomsday monster.” The guild master of Borealia’s royal capital said.

“First the one leading this inquiry, Grand Master of the Northern Quadrant of the Adventurers Guild, Valerius Leistung.” The guild master said introducing the massive man in the middle of their group.

“Immediately on his right are his direct subordinates, Xivira Dreamwhistle, and Petrus Stone.” The guild master said as he motioned first to the halfling woman and then the strong old man at the end.

“Finally, beside me is my vice guild master Astrid.”

When the guild master had finished introducing everyone from the adventurers guild, he in turn introduced Marcus and Mrazivý to his associates and boss.

Of course, everyone from the adventurers guild side already knew who Marcus and Mrazivý were, so this was merely a formality.

“Now that we have all been introduced, I have a number of questions for you Marcus Ferrous and you Mrazivý Borealia.” Valerius Leistung said with a low almost growl like voice.

He gave off such an intimidating air that the slight arc in Marcus’ back went straight up when he was addressed.

‘This man most be the level ninety that was supposes to lead the guild’s reinforcements.’ Marcus thought as he looked towards Valerius and waited for whatever questions he would be asking.
