Chapter 106: Dalaran Adventurer's Guild
There are also organizations similar to the Adventurers' Guild in this world, but there is no force that can encompass the entire continent and develop into a large organization. The inconvenience of long-distance communication is the biggest obstacle to this.
Generally small, there are institutions such as town halls and taverns established by local nobles, and some tasks are issued to adventurers to solve various problems in the territory, and large ones are subordinate institutions managed by the royal families of various countries, which are generally used to issue wanted notices or bounties to serve the country, the royal family and the nobles.
Donald intends to establish such an organization, in the name of Lord Dalaran, instead of only issuing missions in the Lord's Palace, this organization is also open to other realms of the kingdom, can attract talents from all walks of life, and he also has enough advantages to attract a large number of adventurers and professionals.
The reason why he had the idea of opening the Alchemy Fire Mystery Shop was to use the large number of magical items on the exchange list in the Book of Truth as bait to attract a large number of adventurers to Dalaran.
You must know that a piece of magic equipment is a very rare existence for ordinary non-professional professionals, and it can be used as a treasure as an heirloom for civilian adventurers with uneven strength! Not to mention consumables such as alchemy potions and spell props, it is something that can save lives at critical moments in battle, and that adventurer doesn't want to prepare more. After all, no matter how much money you have, your own life is not worth it.
Although the magic equipment that Donald was about to take out was all low-level, highest-level treasures, and only high-level magic items, in an era when alchemists were very scarce, these were rare and rare equipment produced by the Book of Truth. Every primary magic item that is auctioned off can be exchanged for at least a thousand gold soles.
Moreover, the advent of adventurers also led to the commercial development of the territory, and in just half a month, five more shops on the commercial street of Twilight Town were sold and seven or eight were leased.
It can be seen that the adventurer's guild plan must be established and implemented, and Donald immediately summoned the main officials of the realm to hold a meeting in the lord's mansion.
When Donald revealed his plan, all his subordinates were impressed.
Their lord always has such a whimsy, no wonder he can become a powerful mage, and he can also develop the territory to the current situation.
Seeing that no one objected, Donald first instructed William, the most meritorious political officer:
"William, I'm going to set up the Dalaran Adventurers' Guild in Twilight Town and Wind Chime Village first, the seat headquarters in the town, and our first office in Wind Chime Village!
"Yes, my lord!"
William respectfully received the order, he is now becoming more and more proficient in these territory affairs, and he is even better than the general territory administrative officer, "Jesse, you are in charge of the finances of the territory, and the funds needed to build the adventurer's guild will be spent from you, be sure to control the balance of the territory, if there is a shortage of funds, just talk to me, I will find a way to solve it!"
Sir Jesse had already resigned from the management office of the Noble Council of Boulder City, but he had been waiting for a new director to be sent from the royal capital, so it was not until a month ago that the handover was completed and he officially joined the Donald Domain. In order to seize this rare opportunity for promotion, Jesse worked very well, with Jesse joining, William no longer had to be in charge of finance, and he was so busy every day that he didn't even have a chance to take a breath.
With the infrastructure of the Adventurer's Guild arranged, Donald looked around at everyone and said:
"At present, it is mainly focused on the construction in the territory, and the outside of the territory relies on the original taverns in various places to issue tasks, luring adventurers to come to our Dalaran to pick it up. Is there anything else you'd like to add to this plan?"
Uther stood up and said:
"Master, I think it is necessary to set up a mercenary group of our own, as an armed force of the guild, and can also be used to train soldiers so that they can become excellent warriors who have truly experienced battle. ”
This is because the paladin rarely speaks, but every time he speaks, he catches the point. This time it was exactly what Donald hadn't taken into account, so he nodded in appreciation:
"Uther thinks long-term, but you are also responsible for the security of the Blue Gold Magic Mine, and this matter will be left to Kael'thas and Clinton. ”
Kael'thas and the two took the order. Donald added:
"Barn, Tik, the members of your garrison and the hunting team should also select some elites to participate in the tasks of the mercenary group in batches, accumulate combat experience, and prepare for becoming a regular army in the territory in the future!"
Gen Murray, who has officially integrated into the Donald's ranks, also spoke:
"Lord Lord, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain security in all aspects by relying on the armed forces in the territory alone, it is better to requisition some manpower among the adventurers to be responsible for some peripheral affairs, while our own people are responsible for core management, so that we are not afraid of lack of manpower, and we are not afraid that they will have different intentions!"
After the general direction was determined, Donald handed over the specific plan to his subordinates, and he himself devoted himself to mage cultivation and alchemy research, striving to accumulate enough knowledge as soon as possible to improve his own strength.
Soon, a few days later, the headquarters of the Dalaran Adventurers' Guild was completed, located in the southeast corner of Twilighttown. Relying on the original building, William ordered four vacant residences to be transformed into a large courtyard, which was more ornate and majestic, and the space inside was enough to accommodate hundreds of people to enter at the same time to handle affairs. The courtyard outside can also accommodate several hundred people standing.
In the short term, a headquarters of this size should be sufficient, and if the guild grows in the future, it will not be too late to expand.
As for Wind Chime Village, since it was only an office, William ordered someone to simply renovate a residence between the inn and the tavern, and send a few people to manage it when the time came.
On the day of the establishment of the Dalaran Adventurers' Guild, not many adventurers chose to register with the guild, and most of the adventurers who stayed in Dalaran chose a wait-and-see attitude.
The adventurers who were watching outside the Adventurers' Guild were talking.
"What is that lord doing? Don't you know that we adventurers have always been used to being alone and free, so how could we join some organization?"
"This is not an organization, I heard that this adventurer's guild is specially opened for adventurers, you can let us pick up quests, and you can also post quests in it! It's no different from picking up quests in the tavern before, except that there are a lot more quests and it's more convenient!"
A man who looked honest and sturdy said with some indignation:
"I heard that this is also responsible for professional level appraisal, which can prove my strength, I already have the strength of the peak of black iron, but Mark and their guys just don't admit it, every time they team up to go out to do a task and come back, the one assigned to me is still according to the original standard, this time I want to get the level certification, let them take a look!"
Another adventurer dressed as an assassin also nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the lord himself is a powerful bronze mage, and his teacher is the first mage of North County, the silver powerhouse Messer, and there is also the participation of the Boulder City Mage Club behind him, so the certification here should be very accurate!"
Many adventurers think this way, but few of the older adventurers actually sign up.
Only a young adventurer, who was only ten years old, who had just reached adulthood, couldn't hold his breath and had the courage to walk into the newly built guild gate under the gaze of everyone.
As soon as the young adventurer entered the door, he was shocked by the quest wall in front of the front hall, and his face changed.
The guild reception staff under the task wall thought that the young man was stunned by the above task list, and he didn't know which one to take. So I couldn't help but feel proud. Being able to pass the assessment among dozens of people and get the opportunity to work in the lord's guild, he can envy the other boys in the village.
Unexpectedly, after a long while, the young adventurer's face turned red and he said:
"I don't know a word, could you please tell me what this wall does?"
The receptionist almost didn't choke on his saliva when he heard this, and he didn't understand a single task. I'm wasting my feelings here.
However, the staff of the Adventurers' Guild are all trained and selected according to the strict requirements of Donald the lord, and the people who use them are also local residents with clean family affairs. Faced with this situation, the receptionist still smiled and introduced the young adventurer.
"This is the task wall of our Dalaran Adventurer's Guild, and all the big and small tasks will be announced on it, if the adventurer thinks it is appropriate, he can move on!"
"The quest is divided into nine levels according to the rules divided by the lord, and each level has a different difficulty and reward. Levels 1 to 3 are Black Iron level quests, which are simple and most suitable for novices to do, while Levels 4 to 6 are bronze level quests that generally require experienced Bronze Adventurers or multiple Black Iron Adventurers to complete. Levels 7 or 8 are silver quests, and the difficulty of the tasks is very high, and generally only large mercenary groups or silver powerhouses can complete them. The Ninth Gold Quest is currently the highest quest level. ”
Then the receptionist introduced the details of several missions on the task wall to the first adventurer, from low to high.
“...... , the last level 9 quest, which is currently the only level 9 gold quest in our guild, is the dragon hunting quest issued by our lord, looking for traces of the dragon in the Izumo Mountain Range. If anyone is able to penetrate deep into the Green Cloak Forest and the depths of the Izumo Mountains and spot the traces of the dragon, they can claim a reward from the Lord, which is a bottle of Moonlight Elven Wine that can change qualifications to gain mage talents, and a reward of 10,000 gold soles. ”
According to the world's professional strength level, Donald also divided the mission level into nine levels. Of course, at present, only the first four levels and the last nine levels have tasks released, and many of them are still tasks released by themselves.
Take the ninth-level dragon quest as an example, of course, it is used by Donald as a cover to attract the attention of adventurers. The existence of dragons in the Izumo Mountains has always been a legend, and even if he does find traces of the dragons, it is impossible for him to do anything against them with his current strength.
Adult dragons are generally at least at the silver level, and with their racial advantages, it is not a problem to deal with three or five human silver powerhouses. Some of the adult dragons with noble bloodlines even had gold-level strength and powerful innate abilities, which were not at all something he could provoke at the moment.
Unless it was a solitary juvenile dragon, Donald wouldn't mind catching a dragon himself.
