Adventurer guild is the official name of the guild that Wood spoke of.
The guild's office is right after the port comes out, at the end of the street in the front, it is very conspicuous, and you can see it as soon as you come out. The only thing confusing is that the huge building has several doors. With so many entrances, there is not even a sign. If it is a rookie who doesn't know anything, it will be a headache.
Fortunately, with Wood's guidance, Ethan knew that he was going to enter through the door on the far left. It was a place for the rookies who had just arrived here. Applications for membership, accommodation for newcomers, etc. are all handled there.
Wood and the others are going to the hall where the veterans go to deal with some things. Their ship sank and many crew members died. All of these have to be reported. At the same time, they will take out the deposited property and buy a new Boat and so on.
Watching Wood and Rodney gradually disappear into the crowd, Ethan always felt that Rodney seemed to be peeking at himself, and that vision was definitely not kind.
"Is it because of the magic stone?"
The magic stone is the most magical existence in this ocean, and it is also the most difficult material to obtain. As long as you find one, even if you don't use it, You can also get a lot of things you need, which is the real hard currency of this World.
"The magic stone of Fire Attribute...I don't know what it can do?"
The greatest value of the magic stone is that it has magical effects besides circulation.
For example, for adventurers, The best one is a water purification magic stone from Water Attribute. As long as there is such a small water purification magic stone and put in a wooden bucket that stores clean water, then no matter if it is seawater or polluted dirty water, it will be The magic stone is purified into the clearest and clean water.
"Unfortunately, this water purification magic stone is not a Water Attribute... I don't know what this Fire Attribute magic stone does?"
Tighten the magic stone at the same time. The tight-fitting backpack contains all of his important items, and the most important ones are a large stack of books that Gu Yi gave him.
He didn't dare to leave these things in his uncovered boat, who knows if they will be stolen easily.
Quickly entering the newcomer reception hall of the adventurer guild, Ethan found that compared to the hall where people are constantly entering and leaving, it is much deserted here. Looking around, there is only one person.
Only a youngster stood at the counter at the front gate, and he was beckoning to himself enthusiastically: "Welcome to the adventurer guild, do you want to register?"
"Ah! Yes!"
Ethan nodded, came to the front of the counter.
"Do you need to pay the membership fee and so on to do this?"
He actually forgot this question before, and he has not seen any coins after living in this World for so long He had become accustomed to the days of bartering for things like this, and he didn't think of it for a while, but all guilds and the like seemed to be charged.
"What's not needed is that you will collect some of the materials when you store materials, order and repair ships in the guild, and conduct entrusted transactions."
Ethan nodded, it turned out to be The service is only charged, which is very suitable for him, a poor rookie.
"Actually, even if you can join the club without paying any item, the number of new people joining the club is decreasing." The youngster on the opposite side does not know if it's been too long since he saw people. When he saw Ethan, he kept talking about each minding their own business: "You are the first person to register for membership in the last six months."
"Huh?" Although Ethan can see its a little deserted here but he didn't expect that no one has come to join the conference for half a year. Is it wrong to join the conference by yourself?
The clerk on the other side immediately saw Ethan's thoughts and immediately asked to stay: "In fact, joining the guild has many benefits. We can provide better ships and let you recruit more experienced ships. Sailors-there are still a lot of adventurers in the guild who have lost their ships and are on the verge of bankruptcy. Although they are not in a good situation, they are experienced. At the same time, storing and consignment of supplies can also save a lot of time for the adventurers."
"In short, we will help the advertisers to solve all their worries, as long as they focus on exploring the Sea Territory and collecting materials."
"Even more how, as long as the advertiser comes back from the sea every time, we will do it even if there is no harvest. Provide adventurer with three days of free accommodation and food, so that the adventurer can get the most rest, and then plunge into a new round of adventure with a fuller posture..."
The Clerk said a lot, Ethan felt that this guild was indeed very conscientious, and there seemed nothing wrong with joining by himself.
"Then why no newcomers joined in half a year?"
The clerk reluctantly sighed: "Now there are fewer and fewer newcomers from the hometown to reach State Island. Most of them are conservative old and stubborn. They don't want to give up a little thing to the guild, thinking that the guild is taking advantage of them."
Shrugged, the clerk's expression of contempt is not at all Uncovered: "In my opinion, those people just want to go to the sea. Every time they go to the sea to find supplies, they use those things in exchange for what they need for life. They can mix day by day, and they will go to sea again until there are few left."
"This is not bad, I know that some are reserved for going to sea. Others will never go to sea if they can't survive, and because there are no extra supplies in hand, they can only prepare some clean water when going out to sea... Nine out of ten of those people have never returned."
Ethan understands that 80% of those who are unwilling to join the guild are about the same as those who left before living on the island. They are not young, come After arriving here, they found that life seemed to be getting worse, and that they suddenly lost motivation. They had already lost their life when they came to State Island.
"Then how do they exchange what they find for food or the like?"
"Oh, you go out from here and turn right and follow the gravel road Go, it won't take long to see a market. It's the largest market on the island; in fact, even the adventurer who joins the guild will go there to trade, and only those who can't be traded for a short time will be sent to the guild for storage. Or ask the guild to sell it on your behalf."
"Um...it turned out to be like this."
"Then, I need to fill in some basic information for you next."
Ethan nodded, he has already decided to join the guild, not to mention anything else, the guild can provide a lot of information here to help him understand this World better.
"Name?"
"Ethan."
"Age?"
"17 years old."
"Gender?"
"...Male..."
"Height?"
"This...I have not measured..."
The clerk is extremely skilled in business, measuring and filling in in one go.
"Ship's name?"
"Uh...this..." Ethan didn't name his ship. He was stunned for a long time when he heard this question, and finally grabbed his forehead and started casually. A: "Dawn Goddess."
"Oh~What a good name."
After filling in the basic information, the clerk picked up a white magic stone from the side. Seeing what he was doing, a blue light emitted from the magic stone sweeping Ethan's face down.
Then he used the magic stone to scan the paper with the basic information of Ethan in his hand again, and then the paper filled with the basic information was so slowly disappeared.
Then he raised his hand and slapped the magic stone on the table, only to hear a crisp sound. When the hand was removed, the white magic stone had become a finger Wide white strip.
All this happened so quickly. When Ethan reacted, he could only shout in his heart, "The magic stone can still be used like this?"
Then he saw the clerk beckoning Ethan to stretch out his hand and patted the white strip on his wrist again. It was a bang. The white strip was wrapped around Ethan's wrist so tightly, it looked like an ordinary wristband...
"This will be your guild member certification from now on." By briefly introducing the simple usage of this thing.
The white wristband can be taken off at will, and it must not be worn on the wrist because it is quite flexible and can also be worn on the neck, arms, or legs.
At the same time, there is no need to worry about the impact of loss, because the guild has Ethan's information on file, and the basic identity certificate is lost. He only needs to go to the lobby to reissue one.
"By the way, if you don't like white, we can also help you change the color, but in that case, you need to charge extra."
"What do I need to pay for changing the color Something?"
"The magic stone of the corresponding color."
"..."
Ethan remembered that his Fire Attribute magic stone was red, But even if this thing is not as effective as the Water Attribute water purification magic stone, it will not be much worse. As a result, it can only be used to change the color of the hand strap in the guild?
"Hungry...it seems that I can't use this service for the time being."
"It doesn't matter, the magic stone is actually not as rare as you think." The first newcomer, the clerk was in a very good mood. He pulled Ethan and said a lot: "In fact, the probability of magic stones on each floating island is more than 80%, but most people have not found that's all."
"Really?"
"Really, it's actually not a secret, but the guild's basic information about the calm sea does not record this, because This is a kind of screening..."
"Screening?"
"Well, screening out more potential advertisers."
Ethan suddenly has a kind of himself The feeling of discovering a big secret.
"What do you want them to do after selecting more potential advertisers?"
"What?" The clerk noticed Ethan's thoughts and gently shook his head: "It's not you As you think... the potential advertisers are selected so that they can grow up as soon as possible, and then let them rush through the sea of storms earlier to find the endless land."
This is already him. I don't know how many times I have heard this legend: The vast land that is endless and can let millions of people live and work in peace and contentment is at the end of the sea. As long as you can find it, you can live a happy life.
"Is this really a legend of fooling people?"
