*Looks around*

You look strong enough to carry these items, and I need someone to protect these items, from balie, and thieves.
Of course I will give you rewards for helping me.. Now, now, don’t argue with me, Get on the caravan, we’re running out of times.
*The adventurer yawns and starts wandering why did he follow this old grumpy Quest Manager, he looks at the quest items and start talking*
Why do you need to go to Elim ?
There’s a monthly meeting of Quest Managers around Shiltz, and tomorrow is the day, we need to gather all resources we get, do meetings, receive new quest, and of course train new Quest Manager.
New Quest Manager ?
Yeah, we recruit youngster from around Shiltz and train them to become a Quest Manager.
You said Chief earlier, is he your master ?
Chief.. That bastard, yeah, it’s like a Guild Master, he accepts request from people around shiltz, and give it to us.
People around Shiltz ?
Yeah, Wizard from Mount Poibus, Knight of Elim, even a cook from Zaid’s Tavern or the Waitress at Lime’s Item Shop.
Why ? Can’t they do it by themselves ?
It’s a long story...
But you know, I’ll tell you why...
Once, before all Balie’s monstrosity came at Shiltz, when people live in Peace, they’re collecting Items/ Resources/ Ingredients by themselves, It was not hard..
But, their needs is greater than they could gather, so they created a group of hunters in Zaid. Their task was to collect requested Items.
Soon after the successful of this method reach people’s ear at another town and village, they create their own town and villages Hunters.
It was a success, but there’s a gap in town and village.
Elim’s giving more rewards for an item, than lime could. The hunters at different town and villages start collecting items and send it to Elim, for a big reward.
Richest people always live at Elim, and Villages like Lime will always be short in stock.
People of Zaid are the first to complaints, they start complaining at their Townkeeper, Lanrasir.
Lanrasir cannot handle this problem by himself, so he forwarded this problem to Empress Claire.
Empress Claire found this issue was important, and held a council meeting at Elim.
The councils meeting lasted for 3 days, and they decided to form an organization, which is composed of adventurers who are paid by Shiltz Kingdom and gather all resources needed, store it at Elim, and share the items evenly for all town and villages in Shiltz.
This organization was succeed at first, and Lanrasir become the first Head of Logistics.
And, of course the Organization experienced ups and downs, until today, the organization remained to complete the task given.
...
AH ! We’re arrived at Elim.
*The Quest Manager looks at you*
HEY ! WAKE UP ! I TOLD YOU AN INTERESTING STORY, AND YOU CHOOSE TO SLEEP ? YOU PATHETIC ! I’M NOT GIVING YOU ANY REWARDS !
