Path of Light.

Chapter 194. 195. Adventurer's Guild

The students of the Elf Academy are finally on vacation before the cold wave of the Ice Peak Sea arrives.

In fact, there is no winter in Castletown, even when the tide comes.

It is very difficult to see snow in this city. In the south of the Eternal Night Forest in the Elven Continent, the climate is almost the same, and there is no spring or autumn here. In February of the next year, when the north wind of the frozen sea stops Now, Castletown will enter summer in an instant, the long summer, and the rainy season in July, August and September.

Therefore, the best months of the year are almost all in the first half of the year.

Roy had a simple breakfast, and walked to Brown Street in thick leather trousers and a canvas jacket.

When he came out of the house early, Roy didn't take the long carriage, and walked along the long street towards the Elf Academy. The streets in the lower city are usually very lively, and many vendors will set up small stalls on the street. This stall is on the street. Urban areas are expressly prohibited.

Arriving at the gate of the Spirit Academy, Instructor Nora was already waiting there.

"Today I'm going to take you to the Adventurer's Union to register your information. You need to be a recorded adventurer before you can join our adventure group and take a plane journey with us."

Instructor Nora was wearing brown leather armor and a long sword of ordinary texture on his waist. He looked like an ordinary ranger.

Walking on the street, it was hard to tell from her attire that she was actually a martial arts instructor of the Elven Academy.

"Okay, Instructor Nora." Roy agreed.

Instructor Nora took Roy west along the avenue of the Elf Academy.

Passing by the Magical Union in Castletown, and walking west for a while, we came to a gray three-story building with many battle scenes engraved on the outer wall of the building.

The plaque on the outside of the building reads 'Adventurer's Guild' and looks a bit unremarkable, you have to get closer to see it.

Taking the steps up the stairs, Instructor Nora showed the identity plate to the guard, and the guard at the door opened the door, inviting Instructor Nora and Roy to enter the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Union.

This is not the same as the magic union. The lobby on the first floor of the magic union is more like a magic shopping mall. Anyone can go to the shopping mall to buy goods.

However, only members of the Adventurer's Union can enter, and the first time you come here, you must have a recommender, otherwise you will not even be able to enter the door of the Union, let alone how to register as a member of the Adventurer's Union.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Guild, Roy found that the lobby was not as deserted as he had imagined.

There is a circular reception desk around a huge column in the front of the hall. Several female elf waiters are standing inside the reception desk. There are no stools or anything around the reception desk.

Instructor Nora walked into the lobby on the first floor and walked straight towards the bar.

Roy found that there were rest areas surrounded by sofas on the left and right sides of the hall, and each set of sofas formed an independent space. At this time, there were actually many elves sitting in the rest area chatting.

There are also some potted plants between these sofas...

Roy is looking around, and he will hear someone in front of him saying hello to Instructor Nora:
"Nora, it's been a long time. Every time I see you, it means that the north wind of the frozen sea will make my joints ache. I have to buy a ticket to the kingdom of the wood elves to avoid this." Two months of north wind, what are your plans for this vacation?"

The old elf looked benevolent, with deep wrinkles on his face, and looked at Roy with wise eyes.

Instructor Nora stopped and complained to the old elf:

"What else can I plan? I just want to go to a less lively plane to explore. Last time, adventure groups can be seen in almost every area of ​​the plane. Where we are exploring in unknown areas, it is simply a survival competition in the wild."

The old elf didn't make any comments on this matter, just smiled, waved to Instructor Nuo and said:
"Hey, if you get any good goods, don't forget to let me know. If I'm not here, I'll keep the things you don't rush to sell, but... I only want good goods."

"Of course, haven't we had a great time working together?"

"Haha, that's true, that's true!"

Instructor Nora watched the old elf leave, and then brought Roy to the front desk, and said directly to the female elf waiter at the front desk:
"Give me an application form for membership of the Adventurer's Guild..."

The female elf waitress of the Adventurer's Guild immediately took out a roll of parchment from under the counter, and the parchment was actually rolled into a scroll. She untied the rope on it, unfolded it in front of Instructor Nora, and asked to Instructor Nora:

"Who is applying to join the union?"

Nora pointed to Roy and said, "He."

The female elf waitress of the Adventure Union looked at Roy, took out a quill from under the table, turned to Roy and asked with a smile:

"Name age gender race?"

The waitress asked four consecutive questions...

Roy quickly answered truthfully, and then asked about Roy's occupation.

"Apprentice priest," Roy said.

The elf waitress stopped her pen, looked up at Roy, and said:

"Your profession is rare here, I'm afraid I can't describe your ability accurately, can you write some information in the remarks column?"

"That's because very few priests are willing to join the Adventurer's Guild. We don't need any information about the priests. We apply to join the Adventurer's Guild, not to wait for other adventure groups to hire, just to register..."

Instructor Nora interjected from the side.

The elf waitress looked helplessly at Instructor Nora.

The adventures on this parchment are temporarily blank.

These adventure experiences will need to be filled out one after another in the future.

Every time the adventure group returns, the members of the adventure group will update their resumes...

Of course, these records are not just empty words. Every time you capture a prey, you must bring the proof of the prey.

These records represent the process of an adventurer, from a novice to a senior adventurer, the growth of experience, the transformation of ability, and the increase in social status.

If the leaders of the adventure group want to recruit new members, they will recruit them in the adventure group union.

Here, newcomers or veterans can choose at will, and the Adventurer's Union can provide a series of detailed information.

Of course, there are also many elves who, like Instructor Nora, will take the initiative to recruit newcomers to join the adventure group.

Generally speaking, before newcomers join the adventure group, it is best to register as a member of the Adventurer's Union, so that new adventurers will have a complete exploration history.

If Roy completes this adventure trip first, and then registers as a member of the Adventurer's Union, it will be difficult to record the previous adventure experience.

That's why Instructor Nora took Roy to join the Adventurer's Guild before the adventure group set off.

First join the Adventurer's Guild, and then join her adventure group, this is a formal process.

When registering as a member of the Adventurer's Union, Roy stood by the front desk and carefully looked at the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Union.

There was a row of blackboards hanging on the walls around the hall. Roy found that it was full of words, but the distance was too far, and Roy couldn't see what was written on it at all...

There are many elves standing under the blackboard, looking up information one by one.

The one-year membership fee of the Adventurer's Guild actually cost five basil, and Instructor Nora generously paid the money in advance for Roy.

But then Instructor Nora said that this money needs to be repaid by Roy, and it will be deducted from Roy's harvest share after participating in the adventure group's field expedition for the first time.

A nameplate belonging to Roy will be made later at the front desk, and Roy needs to wait here for a while.

Instructor Nora had something to deal with, so he left Roy alone in the lobby on the first floor, waiting to receive the nameplate...

Roy didn't wait at the front desk, but wandered around in the lobby.

What he was most curious about were the blackboards hanging on the surrounding walls, so he went directly to a blackboard and found that the blackboard was actually filled with information about purchasing Warcraft materials, and many of the purchase prices marked on it were very high.

There are also some information about recruiting members. These adventure groups recruit members of all kinds, and there are all kinds of weird requirements in the remarks above...

Roy found some commission information on the blackboard, but this kind of commission information was very little, and they were all commissions to explore unknown areas.

Just in time to see Instructor Nora coming back from upstairs.

Roy asked her curiously: "Instructor, why can't I see commissioned tasks on these blackboards of the Adventure Group Union?"

"Escort, garrison, rescue and other commissions are what mercenaries belonging to the mercenary union have to do. If you want to do this kind of task, you have to join the mercenary union and then choose a mercenary regiment." Nora The instructor said to Roy.

"Adventure groups like ours are almost all engaged in adventure-related things, such as hunting monsters in the monster forest, or exploring unknown areas in some strange planes." Instructor Nora said very patiently.

Roy looked at the blackboards on the walls around the Adventurer's Guild with bright eyes...

It turns out that the lives of adventurers are so colorful.

……

The departure time of Instructor Nora's adventure group is set to be on Thursday of this week, and everyone still meets at the pier in Castletown port.

Roy didn't even know if there were any other members of the adventure group besides the instructors of the Elf Academy and Miss Scarlet...

Judging from Instructor Nora's tone, there should be some.

There are still two days left to make some pre-trip preparations for this plane trip,
Roy needs to prepare some outdoor daily necessities, tents, cooking pots, water bladders, and some elf biscuits, etc.

Ms. Belinda has been away from home for almost a week, and Roy can only prepare for this trip alone...

While tidying up and saluting on the balcony, Moira sat on the railing of the balcony, staring at Roy with big watery eyes, watching Roy busy alone.

Sabrina is also preparing for a trip, and Moira will be home alone for a while.

"Moira..."

Roy pressed the suitcase with both hands, trying to fasten the lid.

Moira blinked and looked at Roy:
"Ok?"

After Roy closed the lid of the suitcase tightly, he stood up straight and said to Moira:
"I want to ask you one thing!"

Moira's eyes widened. She was introverted, even a little autistic, and didn't like to contact outsiders...

Roy knows all this.

But what Roy wants to ask Moira this time is to let her have the courage to go out of the house alone and try to contact the outside world.

Roy looked at Moira and said to her:

"You also know that I have a ship at Castleton Harbor. I would like to ask you to take care of the ship while I am away from Castleton."

Startled, Moira jumped off the patio fence.

She struggled for a while, and finally agreed:

"Well, I'll go once a week."

Roy smiled and said to Moira:
"There is a friend of the Naga Sea Clan living on the boat, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force..."

Moira became even more nervous, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes flustered.

But she is the kind of elf girl who will not give up easily after deciding on anything. It took a while before she said to Roy:

"I could try...but I'm not sure I'll do well."

"You can do it, I know." Roy encouraged Moira.

He put the suitcase into the magic pocket, and put the clothes to dry on the terrace into the basket, clapped his hands, and said to Moira:
"I'll go to the fish market to buy some fish later, it seems like we haven't eaten grilled fish for a long time..."

……

Good weather on a Thursday morning.

The sea is calm, and there is a row of seagoing ships moored in the port of Castleton, and a flock of gulls hovering near the fishing boats at the pier in the shallow water area of ​​the port.

During the recent period, there will always be some sea boats departing from the port of St. Margaery. As long as the sails are full, the sea breeze will blow these fishing boats all the way south. Hong Kong is the first port of call for these ships.

Just entering November, the docks in Castletown Harbor have become very busy...

A ship bound for Ellington Island was docked at the pier in the deep water area. At this moment, some elves were already waiting on the pier.

Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett jumped out of the carriage one after the other.

Miss Scarlett looked at the ship and complained to Nora:

"Why are you looking for such a remote plane this time, and we actually have to take a boat to an island to pass through the plane over there..."

……

at the same time,

Roy had already packed all his luggage into the magic pocket. He traveled lightly this time.

Roy left a note, telling Ms. Belinda that he had joined an adventure group, and that he was about to complete a plane adventure with this adventure group, and it would take about six to eight weeks to return to Cass Melton City.

Afterwards, after locking the door of Roy's house, he checked the windows around the house to make sure that the doors and windows were closed, and then he walked out of the yard.

Roy closed the courtyard door, turned around and saw Sabrina in leather armor, just walking out of the courtyard...

"Sabrina, are you going out so early?"

Sabrina covered her mouth and responded with a smile: "Aren't you also very early..."

Roy saw the epee behind Sabrina's back, so he asked curiously:

"Sabrina, where are you going?"
