Path of light

Chapter 194 195. Adventurers Guild

The students of the Elf Academy finally had a holiday before the cold wave arrived in the Sea of ​​Ice Peaks.

In fact, even when the tide comes, there is no winter in Castletown.

It is difficult to see snow in this city. South of the Eternal Night Forest in the Elf Continent, the climate is almost the same, and there is no spring or autumn here. In February of the next year, when the north wind of the Frozen Sea stops , Castletown will instantly enter summer, a long summer, and July, August, and September are the rainy seasons.

Therefore, the best months of the year are almost always in the first half of the year.

Roy had a simple breakfast, wore thick leather trousers and a canvas jacket, and walked onto Brown Street.

Roy came out of home early, so he didn't take the long carriage and walked along the long street towards the Elf Academy. The streets in the lower city are usually very lively, and many vendors will set up stalls on the street. This stall is on the street. It is expressly prohibited in urban areas.

Arriving at the entrance of the Elf Academy, instructor Nora was already waiting there.

"Today I will take you to the Adventurer's Guild to register your information. You need to become a registered adventurer before you can join our adventure group and go on a plane journey with us."

Instructor Nora wore brown leather armor and a long sword of ordinary quality on his waist. He looked like an ordinary ranger.

Walking on the street, it's hard to tell from her attire that she is actually a martial arts instructor at the Elf Academy.

"Okay, Instructor Nora." Roy agreed.

Instructor Nora took Roy west along the avenue of the Elf Academy.

Passing by the Magic Guild of Castletown City, and walking west for a while, we finally came to a gray three-story building with many battle scenes carved on the outer wall of the building.

The plaque outside the building reads ‘Adventurers’ Guild’. It looks a bit inconspicuous and you have to get closer to see it.

After climbing up the steps, Instructor Nora showed his identity plate to the guard. The guard at the door opened the door and invited Instructor Nora and Roy to enter the first floor lobby of the Adventurer's Guild.

This is different from the Magic Guild. The first floor hall of the Magic Guild is more like a magic mall. Anyone can go to the mall to buy goods.

But obviously only members of the Adventurer's Guild can enter, and if you come here for the first time, you must have a recommendation, otherwise you won't even be able to get in, let alone how to register as a member of the Adventurer's Guild.

Walking into the first-floor hall of the Adventurer's Guild, Roy found that the hall was not as deserted as he imagined.

A huge column in front of the hall is surrounded by a circular front desk. Several female elf waiters are standing inside the front desk. There are no stools or anything around the front desk.

Instructor Nora walked into the lobby on the first floor and walked straight towards the bar.

Roy found that there were rest areas surrounded by sofas on the left and right sides of the hall. Each group of sofas formed an independent space. At this time, there were actually many elves sitting in the rest area chatting.

There are also some potted plants placed between these sofas...

Roy was looking around when he heard someone in front of him saying hello to instructor Nora:

"Nora, I haven't seen you for a long time. Every time I see you, it means that the north wind of the frozen sea will make my bones ache. I have to buy a ticket to the wood elf country to escape this... Two months of north wind, what are your plans for this holiday?”

The old elf looked kind-hearted and had deep wrinkles on his face. He looked at Roy with eyes full of wisdom.

Instructor Nora stopped and complained to the old elf:

"What else can I plan to do? I just want to explore a less lively plane. In the last plane, adventure groups could be seen in almost every area. We are not exploring unknown areas. It is simply a survival competition in the wild."

The old elf did not make any comment on this matter. He just smiled, waved to Instructor Nuo and said:

"Hehe, if you get any good goods, don't forget to notify me. If I'm not here, just keep things for me that you're not in a hurry to sell. But... I only want good goods."

"Of course, haven't we always had a great time working together?"

"Haha, that's true, that's true!"

Instructor Nora watched the old elf leave, then took Roy to the front desk and said directly to the female elf waiter at the front desk:

"Give me a membership registration application form for the Adventurers Guild..."

The female elf waiter of the Adventurer's Guild immediately took out a roll of parchment from under the counter. The parchment was actually rolled into a scroll. She untied the rope on it, unfolded it in front of Instructor Nora, and asked Instructor Nora:

“Who is applying to join the union?”

Nora pointed at Roy and said, "Him."

The female elf waiter from the Adventure Guild looked at Roy, took out a quill pen from under the table, turned to Roy and asked with a smile:

"Name, age, gender, race?"

The waitress asked four questions in succession...

Roy quickly answered truthfully, and then asked about Roy's occupation.

"Apprentice priest," Roy said.

The female elf waiter stopped writing, raised her head and looked at Roy, and said:

"Your profession is rare here. I'm afraid I can't accurately describe your abilities. Can you put some information in the remarks column?"

"That's because there are very few priests willing to join the Adventurer's Guild. There is no need for any information about the priests. We apply to join the Adventurer's Guild, not to wait for other adventure groups to hire, but just to register..."

Instructor Nora interjected from the side.

The female elf waiter gave Instructor Nora a helpless look.

The adventures on this parchment are blank for the time being.

These adventure experiences will need to be filled in one after another in the future.

Every time the adventure group returns, the members of the adventure group will update their resumes...

Of course, these achievements are not just empty talk. Every time you capture a prey, you must bring proof of the prey.

These achievements represent the process of an adventurer from a novice to a senior adventurer. The increase in experience, the transformation of abilities, and the increase in worth will also result from this.

If adventure group leaders want to recruit new members, they will recruit them in the adventure group union.

Here, newcomers or veterans can choose at will, and the Adventurer's Guild can provide a series of detailed information.

Of course, there are also many elves who, like Instructor Nora, take the initiative to recruit new people to join the adventure group.

Generally speaking, it is best for newcomers to register as members of the Adventurers Guild before joining an adventure group, so that new adventurers will have a complete adventure resume.

If Roy completed this adventure first and then registered as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, it would be difficult to record the previous adventure.

This is why instructor Nora took Roy to join the Adventurer's Guild before the adventure group set off.

First join the Adventurer's Guild, and then join her adventure group. This is a formal process.

When applying for membership in the Adventurer's Guild, Roy stood next to the front desk and carefully looked at the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Guild.

There were a row of blackboards hanging on the walls around the hall. Roy found that they were full of words, but the distance was too far and Roy couldn't see clearly what was written on them...

There are many elves standing under the blackboard, looking up information one by one.

A year's membership fee for the Adventurer's Guild actually costs 500 Kolers, and Instructor Nora generously advanced the money for Roy.

But then Instructor Nora said that Roy needed to repay the money, and it would be deducted from Roy's share of the harvest after joining the adventure group for the first time in the wild adventure.

The front desk will make a nameplate for Roy later. Roy needs to wait here for a while.

Instructor Nora had something to deal with, so she left Roy alone in the lobby on the first floor, waiting to receive the nameplate...

Roy didn't wait at the front desk, but wandered around in the lobby.

What he was most curious about were the blackboards hanging on the surrounding walls, so he walked directly to a blackboard and found that the blackboard was filled with information about the acquisition of Warcraft materials. Many of the acquisition prices marked on it were very high.

There is also information about recruiting members. The recruitment of members for these adventure groups is also diverse, and there are all kinds of weird requirements in the notes above...

Roy found some commission information on the blackboard, but there was very little such commission information, and they were all commissions for exploring unknown areas.

I happened to see instructor Nora coming back from upstairs.

Roy asked her curiously: "Instructor, why can't you see commissioned tasks on these blackboards of the Adventure Group Guild?"

"Escorts, garrisoning, rescue and other commissions are what mercenaries belonging to the mercenary union have to do. If you want to do this kind of tasks, you have to join the mercenary union and then choose a mercenary group." Nora The instructor said to Roy.

"Adventure groups like ours are almost all engaged in adventure-related things, such as hunting monsters in the monster forest, or exploring unknown areas in some strange planes." Instructor Nora said very patiently.

Roy looked at the blackboards surrounding the Adventurer's Guild with bright eyes...

It turns out that the lives of adventurers are so colorful.

…

The departure time of Instructor Nora's adventure group is scheduled for Thursday this week, and everyone will still meet at the Castletown Port Pier.

Roy didn't even know if there were any other members of the adventure group besides a few Elf Academy instructors and Miss Scarlett...

Judging from instructor Nola’s tone, there should be some.

There are still two days left to make some preparations for this plane trip.

Roy needs to prepare some outdoor supplies, tents, cooking pots, water bladders, some elf cookies, etc.

Ms. Belinda has been away from home for almost a week, and Roy can only prepare for the trip alone...

While packing up on the balcony, Moira sat on the railing of the balcony, staring at Roy with big watery eyes, watching Roy working alone.

Sabrina is also preparing for the trip, and Moira will be home alone for a while.

"Moira..."

Roy pressed his hands on the suitcase, trying to close the lid.

Moira blinked and looked at Roy:

"Um?"

After Roy closed the lid of the suitcase tightly, he stood up straight and said to Moira:

"I want to ask you something!"

Moira's eyes widened. She was introverted, even a little autistic, and didn't like contact with outsiders...

Roy knows all this.

But what Roy wants to ask Moira this time is to give her the courage to go out of the house alone and try to contact the outside world.

Roy looked at Moira and said to her:

"You also know that I have a sea ship in Castletown Port. While I am away from Castletown, I would like to ask you to take care of the ship for me."

Moira was startled and jumped down from the terrace fence.

She struggled for a while, and finally agreed:

"Okay, I'll go once a week."

Roy smiled and said to Moira:

"There is a friend from the Naga Sea Tribe living on the boat. If you don't want to go, you don't have to force..."

Moira became even more nervous, clasping her hands together tightly, her eyes a little panicked.

But she was the kind of elf girl who would not give up easily after deciding anything. After a while, she said to Roy:

"I could try...but I'm not sure I can do it well."

"You can definitely do it, I know it." Roy encouraged Moira.

He put the suitcase into the magic waist bag and put the clothes drying on the terrace into the basket. He clapped his hands and said to Moira:

"I'll go to the fish market to buy some fish later. It seems like we haven't had grilled fish for a long time..."

…

Thursday morning was a rare day of good weather.

The sea was calm, a row of ships were moored in Castletown Port, and a flock of gulls hovered near the fishing boats at the pier in the shallow water area of ​​the port.

During this period of time, there will always be some sea ships departing from St. Margaret's Port. As long as the sails are filled up, the sea breeze will blow these fishing boats all the way south. The sea ships carry a large number of specialties from the Evernight Forest, Castletown The port is the first port of call for these ships.

As November has just entered, the docks at Castletown Port have become very busy...

A sea ship bound for Ellington Island docked at the deep water dock. At this moment, some elves were already waiting on the dock.

Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlet jumped out of the carriage one after another.

Miss Scarlett looked at the ship and complained to Nora:

"Why are we looking for such a remote plane this time? We actually need to take a boat to an island to pass through that plane..."

…

at the same time,

Roy has packed all his luggage into the magic waist bag, and he is traveling light this time.

Roy left a note and told Ms. Belinda that he had joined an adventure group and would soon complete a plane exploration trip with this adventure group. It would take about six to eight weeks to return to Kass. Erton City.

Afterwards, after locking the door of Roy's house, he checked the windows around the house and made sure that the doors and windows were closed before walking out of the yard.

Roy closed the courtyard door and turned around to see Sabrina, wearing leather armor, just walking out of the courtyard...

"Sabrina, are you leaving so early?"

Sabrina covered her mouth and responded with a smile: "You are also very early..."

Roy saw Sabrina carrying a heavy sword behind her and asked curiously:

"Sabrina, where are you going?"
