The second floor of the Adventurers' Guild in Tanzania City seems to be a place with the same generous and simple decoration, but it is much worse than the popularity of the first floor, and the NPCs and players walking on this floor seem to be a little different from those players downstairs, both in terms of dress and temperament are better than those downstairs: "...... You two. ”

Stretching out his hand to block the footsteps of a certain gray-robed magician who had just ascended the staircase, the two swordsman guards guarding here looked at the faces of a man and a woman with condescending eyes: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Uh......"

Blinking his eyes inexplicably, the gray-robed magician who was protecting the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him asked a little puzzled, "Isn't this a place to issue commissions, establish guilds, and make large transactions?" ”

"This is the VIP area."

The sharp gaze patrolled around Duan Qing's face, and the swordsman who asked before pointed behind him with a finger covered in armor: "What you just said is not wrong, but that is something that only adventurers with authority can do." ”

"Do you have permission?"

The clear sound swayed back and forth around the staircase, as clear as the surrounding decoration, and the bland and unwavering suspicion then caught the attention of the rest of the players who passed by the staircase below, casting mockery and excitement from the hall near the staircase. Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Duan Qing secretly glanced at each other with the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him, and then followed the action of the two people pressing their hands on the hilt of the sword, and slightly let go of the way in the direction of the door: "That...... I don't know what you're talking about, but if it's something like a membership card, we don't have it. ”

"Look at you like this, you know if you know." The swordsman let out a heavy snort, "There is no adventurer's badge, and there is no adventurer's emblem...... Just because you two idlers still want to break into this area? Let's go back. ”

"That-"

Quietly stretched out his finger, this time it was Xue Lingphantom Ice who elongated his voice instead of Duan Qing: "But that was the welcoming lady who asked us to come up?" She said that if we want to set up an adventure group, let's come up and something......"

“……”

Following the direction pointed by the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, the two swordsmen guarding the staircase focused their eyes on the body of the lady of etiquette standing at the door as indicated by the woman in the cloak, and then the two faces were followed by Duan Qing and the two of them again after a period of silence: "What you just said...... You're going to start an adventure party? ”

"Isn't forming an adventure party one of the businesses of this place?" Duan Qing shrugged helplessly: "It seems that we have just confirmed with you once......"

"Let's go inside."

Interrupting Duan Qing's words, the swordsman who raised one arm and looked like a high-ranking swordsman then took a step back, and then in the surprised eyes of the two people, he and another guard beside him gave way here: "The application for the adventure group is in the second room, and the door on your left hand is, but I want to remind you ......"

"Don't try to cause trouble." He withdrew those serious eyes into his silent expression, "Otherwise, we will throw you from here with our own hands." ”

Carefully passing through the gap between the two swordsmen, the figures of a man and a woman braved the astonished gaze of countless players around them to enter the staircase on the second floor, and the image that looked completely indistinguishable from that of a novice player was then like two stones that disappeared into the ocean, and disappeared behind the wooden fence made of columns and carvings on the second floor. The players on the second floor who walked between the carvings of this wooden fence also gradually slowed down their pace, with the same sense of surprise, and the eyes that glanced over began to see that the two people were uncomfortable, they stood in place and hesitated for a while, wanting to bite the bullet and walk to the depths of this area, but the next moment they were stopped by a certain questioning voice that suddenly sounded in their ears: "Novice players? ”

"Are you in the wrong place?"

With the ID of the four characters named "Xingluo Fries", a fat player covered in armor fragments took the lead in making his own questioning voice: "I didn't see any guild logos or anything like that...... Which guild is it? ”

"Uh, we want to issue a commission." Duan Qing, who was scratching his nose, replied cautiously, "Is there any problem?" ”

"If you issue a commission, you can also plug in the task in the left hall on the first floor." The fat player's face became even more weird: "Do you have to run to the VIP area above?" You two...... Hey, skinny wolf. ”

He turned back to the other player-looking person sitting in the corner of the platform and shouted, "Can I buy tickets to enter the VIP area now?" How much does it cost? ”

"How do I know about such a thing?" A lazy reply then came back faintly from that direction: "About five hundred gold coins each." ”

"Then we can make a good profit." The fat man who turned around shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "So...... Which guild brought you two in? ”

"No one brought us up." With a sigh in his heart, Duan Qing replied expressionlessly, "Although we do have the intention of setting up a guild adventure group or something......

"Forming an adventure party? Just the two of you? ”

Sweeping the dress and outfit of the gray-robed magician in front of him up and down, he repeatedly confirmed the Xingluo fries for a long time, and let out an involuntary sneer: "Have you ever seen what the ruins around Tanzania City look like?" Have you ever beaten the leader of the Wind Demon Wolf? Even if you get five people, you probably won't be able to pass the trial issued by the association, right? ”

"You don't have to bother with this." Duan Qing, who pressed one hand in front of his abdomen, replied politely: "Anyway, it's shopping, and there's nothing wrong with taking a look, right?" ”

"Ha, do you think this is the place, the vegetable market?" The fat man who muttered quietly squinted his eyes and sighed: "Come if you want, leave if you want?" This is a VIP area where only the most powerful guilds in Tanzania can come up! Two little minions......"

"Ah, Mr. Linyuan Broken Water!"

A sudden exclamation interrupted the fat player's words, and at the same time, a small player who suddenly came out of the corner of the second floor showed a surprised figure: "You...... How did you get here? ”

"You're the ......"

The atmosphere that was about to become scorching suddenly froze in place with this shout, and then gathered together with the appearance of the player dressed like a thief, Duan Qing, who was also looking in that direction, pulled his gray robe, and only after a while did he let out his voice with some surprise: "That...... Walnut Rakshasa yes? Why are you here? ”

"I'm helping Big Brother Corn keep the house, so of course I'm here." The Walnut Rakshasa scratched his cheeks a little embarrassedly, and then looked back at Duan Qing's face with a rather strange gaze: "What, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I mean...... Uh......"

His gaze kept spinning back and forth on the rest of the high-level players who were gradually watching, and Duan Qing's hands that had been gesturing also stopped: "Isn't this a VIP area?" You ......"

"yes, it's the VIP area." Nodding as a matter of course, the thief answered Duan Qing's question in this way, and the eyes that looked around at the rest of the crowd around him then retracted from the strange silence, and fell straight on the fat player who looked bad: "We are the same as them Star Tree Griffin. ”

"They're all VIPs here."

****************************

Like various neutral guilds such as the Mage Council and the Warrior's House, the Adventurer's Guild is also a neutral organization scattered in all corners of the Free Continent, and the Guild headquartered in the capital of the Empire also has branches throughout the continent, using the same division model to manage a large number of adventurers across the continent. Due to the growing power of players, the influence of the Adventurer Guild on the mainland has become more and more obvious in recent days, but the corresponding difficulty of management and the difficulty of solving problems when they arise have also increased exponentially with the increase in the number of adventure groups established by players.

In order to make it easier to deal with these player groups who like to fight all day long, and the hatred relationship is as complex as a spider's web, some simple management methods and status differentiation have also emerged, and the so-called VIP area is naturally one of the ways to solve this problem.

"Although there are not many people left, our Fool Adventure Group is still one of the best adventure groups on the mainland."

Pushing the two fragrant wooden cups in his hand onto the table, a player named Hu Tao Rakshasa enthusiastically invited Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who were pulled into the room, to their seats: "This adventure group seems to have established countless jaw-dropping feats in various places on the mainland, so it is naturally included in the ranks of high-level adventure groups by the Adventurers Association, but how high the prestige of the adventure group is, I, who joined this adventure group later, don't know." ”

"Are you...... When did you join this group? ”

"I joined two months ago."

Scratching his head a little embarrassedly, the walnut rakshasa showed a somewhat shy smile: "Our group of people just voted out their applications with the mentality of trying it out, but I didn't expect to really join in later, I heard that the head of the regiment needed some guys who did rough work, so they recruited us temporarily." ”

“…… Do menial work? ”

Slowly holding the wooden cup in his hand, Duan Qing's gaze became a little strange: "Are you willing to join such conditions?" ”

"Of course, after all, this is the Fool's Adventure Party!"

The outstretched arms gestured to the sides, and a proud smile appeared on the face of the Walnut Rakshasa : "No matter how many rumors circulate, this guild is also the most legendary guild in the free world, not to mention the Battle of Tania and the Battle of the Star of Morne, that battle of light alone is enough to attract people!" ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm new to the game."

Quietly filtering the smile that gradually appeared in the corners of Xue Ling's Phantom Bing's eyes on the side, Duan Qing cleared his throat vigorously: "So I haven't heard of any of the battle of light or anything you said......

"Ah, sorry, I'm a little too arrogant."

Nodding apologetically, the Walnut Rakshasa then fell on the coffee table in front of him: "But also, since I came to this adventure group, I have never experienced any legendary feeling......"

“…… Why? ”

"Because this team has undergone a big change."

Rubbing his fingers, the focus of the thief player's eyes sitting opposite Duan Qing gradually condensed together: "The blue sky and the flames are flowing, the red lotus girl is a thousand fingered cranes, the violent sword is evil, and the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is laughing at the red dust...... Most of these once well-known figures are now gone. ”

"Except for some of the adventure party chapters in Liberty City, only our leader is still here." His tone became much lower, "But we haven't seen her since we joined the party." ”

“…… Who brought you in? Duan Qing, who had been silent for a moment, asked in a low voice, "You can't be accepted without anyone passing, right?" ”

"It's the current Captain Black Corn."

Pointing towards the VIP area outside the house, Hu Tao Rakshasa smiled with Hexi again: "After he harvested us as a member of the Fool, we have been following Brother Corn all over the world, although we haven't encountered any major battles, but we have done a lot of tasks......"

"Are you here here for a mission?"

It seemed that he was not interested in the other party's experience during this time, and Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side raised his own question in a timely manner: "What task are you doing now?" ”

"The details of our arrival here, our captain did not say anything about it." Slightly stunned, the Nutcracker Rakshasa who scratched his cheek replied with an embarrassed expression: "After coming here, we just ran around according to the captain's instructions, except for some adventure honorarium to make ends meet, the rest is similar to the task that Brother Linyuan knows about the broken water." ”

"Is that the mission of the wooden box you were talking about?" Glancing at Duan Qing's Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, he then continued to ask, "What happened to that mission?" ”

"Of course, that's it." Hu Tao Rakshasa's expression changed to an indignant look: "How dare you deceive the people of our Fool Adventure Group, when we are really stupid?" If it weren't for the alchemy master Lin Yuan Broken Water Brothers, he discovered the secret...... That's right! ”

"You're so powerful, do you want to join our Fool Adventure Party?"

As if suddenly thinking of this, the expression of the thief player sitting opposite the tea table became excited, and the action of slapping his thigh then changed into eyes full of anticipation, and fell eagerly on the bitter face of Duan Qing, who was twitching at the corner of his mouth. 8)
