"Lord… Atlas!" The receptionist behind the counter greeted him with a bright smile. She had short blonde hair and fingers poised over a sleek virtual keyboard embedded in the desk.
"So, you're looking for thirty to forty combatants and around ten workers, correct?" she asked, confirming the details.
"Yes," Atlas replied with a polite nod. "And I'd also like to know what kind of budget I should be preparing for that."
She rested her hands on the desk, her smile softening into something more businesslike.
"We'll do our best to match you with suitable candidates. But since you're a newly awakened Lord with no reputation yet, and this being your first battle, the number of applicants may be a bit limited."
She let the words settle before continuing, "However, increasing the pay rate could help draw more interest. We'll run an initial search and notify you as soon as we have some results."
"Thanks," Atlas said.
