The Adventurer's Guild, that's the official name of the guild in Wood's mouth.

The location of this guild is just after the port comes out, at the end of the street in front of it, which is very conspicuous and can be seen as soon as you come out. The only thing that puzzles people is that the huge building has several doors. There are so many entrances that don't even have a sign, and if you don't know anything, you will probably have a headache.

Luckily, with Wood's guidance, Ethan knew he was going to enter through the door on the far left, which was a place for rookies who had just arrived. Membership applications, accommodation arrangements for newlyweds, etc., are all handled there.

Wood, on the other hand, had to go to the halls where the veterans frequented to deal with things, their ships had sunk, many of the crew had died, and they had to report them, and at the same time withdraw the stored property and buy new ships, etc.

Watching Wood and Rodney disappear into the crowd, Ethan always felt that Rodney seemed to be peeking at him, intentionally or unintentionally, and that kind of 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 a piece even if you don't use it, you can exchange it for a lot of things you need, which is the real hard currency in this world.

"Fire Attribute Magic Stone...... Don't know what to do?"

The biggest value of the magic stone in addition to circulation, is to have a magical effect, for example, for adventurers to use, is a water attribute water purification magic stone, as long as there is such a small water purification magic stone, and then put it in a wooden barrel to store clean water, then whether it is seawater or polluted dirty water, it will be purified by the magic stone into the clearest and cleanest water.

"It's a pity that this is not a water attribute water magic stone...... I don't know what this fire attribute magic stone does?"

He put away the magic stone and tightened his backpack at the same time, which contained all his important belongings, the most important of which was a large stack of books that the ancient one had given him.

He didn't dare leave these things in his unconcealed boat, who knew if someone would steal them.

Walking quickly into the newcomer reception hall of the Adventurer's Guild, Ethan found that compared to the hall where people were constantly coming and going, it was much more deserted, and when he looked left and right, he was the only one.

There was only one young man standing at the counter at the front gate, who was waving to himself enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, do you want to join the club?"

"Yes!"

Ethan nodded and made his way to the counter.

"Do I need to pay an entrance fee or anything to do this?"

He had actually forgotten about this problem before, he had never seen anything like coins after living in this world for so long, he was used to bartering days, and he didn't remember for a while that all guilds and the like seemed to have to charge.

"No, it's just that in the future, when you store supplies in the guild, order and repair ships, and make consignment transactions, you will extract some of the materials. ”

Ethan nodded, it turned out that the service was only charged, which was very suitable for him, a poor rookie.

"Actually, even though you don't have to pay anything to join the club, there are fewer and fewer new people joining the club. The young man on the other side didn't know if he hadn't seen anyone for too long, and it was rare to see Ethan talking to himself like this: "In the past six months, you have been the first person to come to the club." ”

"Huh?" Although Ethan could see that this place was a little deserted, he didn't expect that no one had come to join the club for half a year, was it inappropriate for him to join the club?

The clerk on the opposite side immediately saw Ethan's thoughts, and immediately said: "Actually, there are many advantages to joining the guild, we can provide better ships, and at the same time allow you to recruit more experienced sailors - there are still many adventurers in the guild who have lost their ships and are on the verge of bankruptcy, although they are not in a good situation, but they are experienced. At the same time, storing and consigning supplies can also save adventurers a lot of time. ”

"All in all, we'll help adventurers with all their worries, as long as they focus on exploring the sea and gathering supplies. ”

"What's more, as long as the adventurer comes back from the sea every time, even if there is no harvest, we will provide the adventurer with three days of free accommodation and food, so that the adventurer can get the fullest rest, and then devote himself to a new round of adventure with a fuller attitude......

Balabala said a lot, and Ethan felt that this guild was indeed quite conscientious, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with joining it himself.

"So why hasn't there been a new person joining for half a year?"

The clerk sighed helplessly: "Now there are fewer and fewer newcomers who can smoothly get from 'hometown' to Stated Island, and most of them are conservative old stubborn, they are unwilling to give up a little bit to the guild, feeling that the guild is taking advantage of them. ”

Shrugged his shoulders, the expression of contempt on the clerk's face was not concealed at all: "In my opinion, those people just want to make a living, every time they go to sea to find supplies, they exchange those things for living needs, and they can mix for a day, until there is little left before they go to sea again." ”

"That's not bad, I know to save some for going to sea. There are also some who will never go to sea until they can't survive, and because they have no extra supplies in their hands, they can only prepare some clear water when they go to sea...... Nine out of ten of those men never returned. ”

Ethan understood that those who did not want to join the guild were about the same as the people who left before on the island where they lived, and they were not young, and after coming here, they found that life seemed to have become worse, and they suddenly lost their motivation - coming to Stater Island was already a life, so one more day of life was earned...... If you can't live, it's just losing what you should have lost.

"So how do they trade what they find for food or something?"

"Oh, you go out from here and turn right, follow that gravel road, and it won't take long to see a market. It is the largest market on the island, and even adventurers who have joined the guild will go there to trade, and only those who can't trade for a short time will be sent to the guild to store it or ask the guild to sell it on their behalf. ”

"Uh...... I see. ”

"So, I'll need to fill out some basic information for you. ”

Ethan nodded, he had already decided to join the guild, if nothing else, the guild could provide a lot of information to make him more aware of the world.

"Name?"

"Ethan. ”

"Age?"

"Seventeen years old. ”

"Gender?"

“...... Male ......"

"Height?"

"This ...... I haven't measured ......."

The clerk is extremely proficient in his business, measuring and filling in one go.

"The name of the ship?"

"Uh...... This ......" Ethan didn't name his ship, and was stunned for a long time when he heard this question, and finally pinched his forehead and casually said: "Goddess of Dawn." ”

"Oh~ what a good name. ”

After filling in the basic information, the clerk picked up a white magic stone from the side, and he didn't see him make any movements, and a blue light was released from the magic stone that swept Ethan's face up and down.

Then he used the magic stone to scan the paper with Ethan's basic information in his hand again, and then the paper full of basic information slowly disappeared.

Then he raised his hand and slapped the magic stone on the table, only to hear a crisp sound of 'pop', and when he took his hand away, the white magic stone had turned into a long white strip the width of a finger.

All this happened so fast that when Ethan reacted, he could only shout in his heart, "Can the magic stone still be used like this?"

Then I saw the clerk signal Ethan to stretch out his hand, and then slapped the long white strip on his wrist, and there was another snap, and the long white strip was so tightly wrapped around Ethan's wrist that it looked like an ordinary wristband.

"This will be your guild membership certificate from now on. "I briefly introduced the simple usage of this thing.

The white wristband can be removed at will, and it doesn't have to be worn on the wrist because it is quite elastic and can be worn around 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 the file, and if the basic identity certificate is lost, he only needs to go to the hall to reissue one.

"By the way, if you don't like white, we can change it for you, but then you'll need to pay extra. ”

"What do I have to pay for changing colors?"

"Magic stones of the corresponding color. ”

“......”

Ethan remembered that his fire-attribute magic stone was red, but even if this thing was not as effective as the water-attribute water purification magic stone, it wouldn't be too bad, but it could only be used to change the color of the bracelet in the guild?

"Hungry...... It seems that I can't afford this service for the time being. ”

"It doesn't matter, magic stones are not as rare as you think. The clerk was in a very good mood when he won over the first newcomer in half a year, and pulled Esendo to say a lot of things: "In fact, the probability of the existence of magic stones on each floating and sinking island is more than eighty percent, but most people have not found it." ”

"Really?"

"Really, it's not a secret, but the guild's basic information about the Sea of Calm doesn't record it, because it's a kind of screening ......"

"Screening?"

"Well, filter out the more promising adventurers. ”

Ethan suddenly had the feeling that he had discovered a big secret.

"What do you let them do after selecting the more promising adventurers?"

"What to do?" the clerk sensed Ethan's thoughts and shook his head slightly, "Not what you think...... The purpose of selecting potential adventurers is to let them grow up as quickly as possible, and then let them rush through the sea of storms earlier in search of the endless land. ”

He didn't know how many times he had heard the legend that the vast land that could allow millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment was at the end of the sea, and as long as he could find it, he could live happily ever after.

"Isn't this really a foolish legend?"
