The Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer's Guild in Dinktown are both on the same street, with the difference being that the Mercenary Guild is on the east side of Main Street, while the Adventurer's Guild is on the west side.

If you trace the history of the two associations, you will find that a long time ago, they were actually one and the same. It's just that due to the refinement of the mission, it is divided into the Mercenary Association and the Adventurer Association, in fact, there is no difference in essence. Similar rules and regulations, similar organizational framework.

The only difference is the degree of subdivision of the mission, the mercenary group is more responsible for the escort work of merchants and families, such as escorting goods, ensuring the safety of people and property, etc., the danger of the mission is not much, and it is relatively safe. The Adventurers' Guild, as the name suggests, is made up of people who love adventure, seek excitement and high returns. They often take on dangerous tasks and enjoy the challenges that come with them, and most importantly, the attractive rewards.

It is precisely because of the refinement of the missions that the mercenary team and the adventurer team are slightly different in nature. In terms of personnel structure, most of those who have families, wives and children are mercenaries, and they pay more attention to the safety of their lives. And those who are young and lonely are mostly adventurers.

When Lin Tao came to this street, he forgot the signboard of the Mercenary Association in a daze, looked back at the signboard of the Adventurer Association, and decided to walk behind him after hesitating for a long time.

The reason why he came here was all to make one last effort, if there was no group willing to accommodate him, Lin Tao would have to go deep into the Black Forest alone, and this was also the result that Lin Tao did not want to see.

After a few days of hearing and witnessing, Lin Tao has a deep fear of the Black Forest. It's hard to get a haunt from the treacherous environment, the complex terrain and the ferocious monsters.

There is no need to laugh at it, this is the mentality that a normal person should have in this environment, if it were you, what would you do? Do you step into the Black Forest alone without hesitation?

All the buildings on this street are a little dilapidated, even the Adventurers' Guild, and some of the dilapidated gates are ajar, but they don't stop many adventurers from pushing the door in.

When Lin Tao entered the door, he was still inevitably startled by the emotions in front of him, only to see that a simple and narrow room could accommodate at least twenty people, almost to the point of crowding. Looking at the hot scene in front of him, Lin Tao couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Someone kept shouting, "Hey, I said brother, you won't just use these C-level and D-level tasks to perfunctory us, you must know that although our team has been established for a short time and the number of people is not large, we are all genuine tough guys, strong, and never soft to deal with those high-level tasks, I don't believe you look at our credit history." ”

"The latest news, someone has offered a reward of 3,000 gold coins to get a fifth-level fire-based demonic beast core. Mission duration, within 7 days, mission level: B. An emotionless voice shouted to the crowd.

"I !!"

"Damn, it's ours, we've been working on this B-Class mission for two whole days, and we can't let that slip away this time. ”

Just when Lin Tao was dumbfounded, a loud voice roared out, and instantly covered the voice below tightly, "Get out of the way, Lao Tzu, this task is what we received first." ”

Lin Tao looked back, and saw that the stupid big man who had an argument with him in the tavern was proudly holding the document in his hand and looking at everyone triumphantly. "Haha, get out of the way, boss, I've picked it up. Dirk trotted in front of Zico with a paper sign like a treasure.

Zico smiled and shook his head, he really had a headache for this big man, but this task was frankly good, not too difficult, and the pay was quite good. The most important thing is that they can hunt more Demon Beast cores along the way, although the value is not high, but the income is also very considerable.

A group of people couldn't help but feel annoyed and sorry when they saw this task being taken away, and they looked at Dirk's eyes and wanted to eat him, but looking at the companions around him, they still wisely chose to give up.

Lin Tao didn't have the heart to care about other people's affairs, he stretched out his hand and squeezed away the crowd, stood in front of the old man who issued the task, handed over the form that had already been filled out, and said loudly: "Hello! I want to join the ranks of adventurers, here is my application for membership, please review." ”

The old man pushed his reading glasses down, revealed his eyes and carefully looked at Lin Tao in front of him, and said angrily for a while: "Young man, look at your fine skin and tender meat, you must not have suffered any hardships, adventurers are not as easy as you think, you may lose your life at any time, you better think about it." ”

Lin Tao smiled and said in a firm tone: "I have thought about it very clearly, otherwise I would not have come to Dink Town and the entrance to the Black Forest." ”

The old man shook his head with some regret, and said impatiently: "Maybe you have already thought about it, but do you think that the Adventurers' Association is something you can enter if you want to? When you come here, you must not only have strong enough strength and the capital to protect yourself, but most importantly, you must have a cold and firm heart, and be able not to panic, be impatient, or be afraid in any environment. Can you do it?"

Lin Tao pushed the form in his hand forward again, until it was completely stuffed into the old man's hand, "I have the strength of an intermediate fighter, although the strength is not too good, but at least I have the capital to protect myself, and I will not drag myself down." ”

Seeing Lin Tao's repeated strong requests, the old man of the Adventurer Association couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Okay, okay." Since you're going to do this, I'm not going to stop you, I just hope you don't get scared of the fierce monsters in the Black Forest. After taking Lin Tao's application form and glancing at it slightly, he said in a cold tone: "The entrance fee is five gold coins, and the badge production cost is three gold coins, a total of eight gold coins." ”

After Lin Tao handed over the eight gold coins, the old man took out the huge red seal in the drawer and covered it heavily with a "snap". Then he replied to Lin Tao with an expressionless face, "Welcome, from today onwards, you are a member of the Adventurer Association, this is the norm for members of the Adventurer Association, please be sure to abide by it, once you touch some high-voltage lines, then no one can save you." ”

Looking at the old man's unkind expression, Lin Tao was also slightly annoyed, but was forcibly suppressed. I flipped through the code of conduct for members of the Adventurer's Guild, which was to the effect that some professional ethics in the work, such as "Remember your identity at all times and in all places, we are adventurers and not raiders, and if any member commits adultery and discredits the association, it will be severely punished." ”

Looking at these boring terms, Lin Tao had an urge to doze off. Covering the rules and asking, "Can I apply to join a certain team of adventurers?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said in an eerie tone, "I said, young man, these things are not our business. The association is only responsible for the publication and review of tasks, as well as the management of basic information of members, and is not responsible for the rest. You should have gone to the leaders of those teams, not me. ”

Lin Tao smacked his tongue helplessly, eager to pull a book over, this old man's attitude was too bad.

It seems that today's trip is destined to be fruitless, and tomorrow I will still have to step into the Black Forest alone. Before, Lin Tao didn't think about issuing tasks in the Mercenary Association and finding a team to protect himself, but then imagined the current situation, it is better to keep a low profile, the power of the Holy See is everywhere, but there is a difference between strong and weak. It's better to avoid trouble as much as possible.

Just when Lin Tao was about to go out, the adventurer badge in his hand was suddenly snatched away from his hand, and he immediately looked back in shock, only to find that it was the stupid big man, and suddenly his face was a little annoyed, "Give me back the badge, am I very familiar with you?"

Looking at Lin Tao's unhappy face, Dirk felt a burst of relief in his heart, and finally avenged the tavern's revenge, and he didn't forget to ridicule in his mouth, "Lin Tao! Sure enough, I guessed it, you are really a rookie who has just entered the industry. No wonder he was still happy after being deceived, what a pathetic boy. Well, standing in front of you is a great adventurer, Mr. Dirk, have you heard of the Thunderwolf Adventurer Squad? Well, that's my team. Boy, let me tell you, the Black Forest is not a good place, that ghost place I don't even know how to lose my life if I accidentally lose it, I think it's better for a little white face like you to stay on a woman's soft breasts, such a bloody environment is not suitable for you at all. Ahh

His face was pale, and he really didn't understand how he could provoke such a madman, and said coldly: "Are you trying to provoke me? If so, then I want to tell you that you succeeded." ”

Looking at Lin Tao's cold eyes, Dirk snorted, crossed his thick waist, and said viciously: "I don't know whether to live or die, what I said is the truth, this world is originally a world of the jungle, and it is not even bullshit without strength." Uh......" Just as Dirk wanted to continue to speak, a strong arm instantly reached in front of him, pinching his throat, making him unable to make a sound, and the rest of the words had to be stuck in his throat.
