Path of Light.

Chapter 213 214. City Tour
The second floor of the Adventurer's Guild has this kind of special seating for meeting guests, and you can apply for a separate room for even more intimate topics, but you need to pay an additional fee.

The open area is also very quiet. Almost all the people sitting here are the leaders of various adventure groups.

They are waiting here for new members who are willing to join the adventure group. Of course, if the other party is willing to join the adventure group, the leader of the adventure group needs to briefly introduce the strength and advantages of the adventure group, and the other party should also tell their specialties.

Almost every adventure group that comes to Padstow has to find a guide locally, which not only saves a lot of time, but also avoids a lot of trouble.

As soon as Instructor Nora sat down, the Adventurer's Guild arranged for a young guide to come over. This elf guide looked clean and experienced.

He first looked at Instructor Nora, and then looked at Roy and Sabrina.

Instructor Nora unfolded the parchment map and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself."

"My name is Dominique, and I'm a guide in Padstow. I'm familiar with the mountain forests in the east and south of Padstow, and I know the distribution of monsters in the Widikonsto area." The young guide said to Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora searched for a long time along the east and south of Padstow City before finally finding a place marked with Widdiconstus ten degrees east of the south. However, since it was a named area, In other words, many adventure groups have already set foot there. According to Instructor Nora's plan, the adventure groups do not intend to hunt Warcraft in known areas.

"Here?" Instructor Nora pointed to Widikonsto in the corner and asked.

"I've been through this area, too." The young elf guide said confidently.

Nora crossed her fingers, leaned her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on her hands, and asked Dominique:
"Do you have any ideas for going deeper?"

The young guide hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If you go further south, you will encounter a natural barrier. Many adventure groups have planned to jump here, but there is a group of griffins' nests on the top of the cliff. As long as there are elves appearing on the rock wall, they will suffer from this group of griffins. Their attack methods are very cruel, almost all of them use their sharp claws to grab the elves into the air, peck them seriously, and then fall towards the rocks, and almost no elves caught by the griffins can survive."

Obviously tactfully rejected Nora's proposal, the two shook hands, and then the young guide Dominique left.

Not long after the young guide left, a second guide sat in front of Instructor Nora.

This made Roy discover that the efficiency of the Adventurer's Union is really high. Obviously, after joining the Adventurer's Union, it will be much more convenient to do various things related to adventure...

The elf who came this time is a mixed race, and he actually has a beard on his temples. He sat down in front of Instructor Nora and introduced himself:

"My name is Ron, and I'm the guide of Padstow. I'm familiar with the situation in the eastern mountains of Padstow, and I know the distribution of monsters there. Of course, hunting monsters sometimes depends on luck. When luck is good, you can block them." Can’t help it, if you’re unlucky, you might not meet one in the forest for half a year.”

The guide didn't say that he was more familiar with a certain exclusive area, but Nora saw that the leather armor he was wearing was undamaged, and he didn't see any scars on his arms, face, and neck, so he said:
"Can you tell me how many times you have encountered monsters during your years as a guide?"

Guide Ron said: "...five times? Maybe six times, I can't remember clearly. After I became a guide, I led the adventure group to hunt a total of five monsters, all of which are the best-colored glazed beasts."

This kind of thing cannot be lied to, and it is recorded in the personal files of the Adventurer's Guild.

As long as Instructor Nora needs it, these records can be found at any time.

"..."

Instructor Nora was a little speechless. He looked like Mr. Mighty, but he was actually a novice.

If the adventure group of Instructor Nora wants to venture east of Padstow, this Ron guide can be hired, but Instructor Nora wants to be a guide who dares to enter unknown areas, which requires experienced hands.

Apparently Ron wasn't up to the task.

Instructor Nora said euphemistically:

"We may encounter many unknown dangers on this adventure. I hope that the guide who leads us forward can have a certain judgment on unknown dangers."

Ron shrugged and stood up.

The third guide did not come as fast as the first two guides. In fact, Instructor Nora sat in front of the small table and waited for a while.

When his third guide came over, he introduced himself:
"My name is Margery, and I'm the guide of Padstow. I'm familiar with the southern part of the Partington plane. In fact, I once led two adventure groups to climb over the Griffon Barrier in the southern part. Unfortunately, both times ended in failure. , and both adventure groups suffered heavy casualties."

There was a very clear scratch mark on the chest of Guide Margery, and the scar was so red and purple.

"The wounds are not only these, but mainly on the back and shoulders." Magery said, but obviously he didn't want to show it.

"If we plan to cross the Griffin Barrier, do you still want to try again? Or do you still have the power to protect yourself now?"

Instructor Nora asked Magery Guide.

"Of course, I just wanted to see the scenery on the other side of the barrier, so I took the risk twice." Guide Margery showed a faint smile on his face.

Then the guide Margery asked Instructor Nora back: "Does your adventure group want to challenge the Griffin Barrier? Or does your adventure group have such strength?"

"At present, our adventure group has a total of eight members, four of whom are instructors from the Castleton Elf Academy, another magician from the Magic Union, and the other three are outstanding students from the Elf Academy, so although our number is not large, But all kinds of combat professionals are fully equipped."

Instructor Nora said that she obviously felt that Margery could be the guide for this adventure.

Roy didn't expect that Instructor Nora really wanted to explore...

Guide Margery seemed to trust the gold content of the academy instructors, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Instructor Nora and said:
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Instructor Nora shook hands with Guide Margery, and then said:
"Since we are going to climb the Griffin Barrier, I'm afraid we need to make some preparations in advance. Besides the necessary ropes for climbing, what else do you think we can bring with us?"

"It's best to bring some tough hand-throwing nets. Griffins are very afraid of the hand-throwing nets woven by iron chains." Majli said without thinking.

Instructor Nora nodded and said:

"I will actively prepare for these two days. Two days later, we will gather at the gate of the Adventurer's Union to start our adventure. If everything goes well, this adventure will take about fifty days."

Guide Margery quickly said, "No problem!"

……

The next day, Instructor Nora took Miss Scarlett to the Adventurer's Guild to check the information about the Griffin Fortress.

Eleanor and Instructor Virgil also went to the Thieves Union to buy some useful information, and Instructor Gru stayed in the hotel.

Roy and Sabrina decided to walk around Padstow. This time, Miss Christine was also wearing a tight leather armor that showed off her figure. She stood at the door of the hotel, staring at Roy and Sabrina. The two of them wanted to go out for a walk in their eyes.

Roy didn't want to get into this super trouble. When Nora said yesterday that the adventure group wanted to climb the Griffin Barrier, she asked Miss Christine. Is she sure she is willing to take the risk with everyone?

Although Miss Christine's complexion was not very good, she still decided to go on an adventure together.

Sabrina took the initiative to meet her and said to Miss Christine:

"We are going to go shopping in the street, do you want to go together?"

"Okay, it's my first time coming to Padstow too, and I'm thinking of going out for a walk, but I'm a little too afraid to go alone..."

Miss Christine changed her usual arrogance and spoke kindly to Sabrina.

This time, the two people's shopping turned into a threesome, and Roy could only sigh in his heart.

……

The city of Padstow is really a paradise for adventurers. The streets are full of magic shops for adventurers. The dazzling array of goods inside look very delicate, all kinds of magic weapons and protective gear, as well as some outdoor daily necessities. , can pack almost every adventurer to the teeth.

There are also shops that sell elf biscuits of various flavors. It is said that only five packs are enough for a month's food needs.

There are also teapots that never need to be filled with water, portable field tents, warning bells for field camping, dragon dung that expels all wild creatures, and so on.

There is no way to know whether it is true or not, and it is impossible to determine whether the effect is good or not...

But the store is full of goods, and there are many adventurers coming in and out, which is very lively.

It's not the first time for Miss Christine to go out on an adventure, but she has a deep understanding of some products, which makes Roy feel like she has experienced it before.

Walking with the two elf female companions, Roy looked very leisurely and followed behind the two without saying a word.

Most of the time, it was Miss Christine who was chatting with Sabrina, and the atmosphere of shopping seemed very relaxed. Sometimes Roy would go to the fruit stand to buy three glasses of juice, which made Christine The lady has a very good shopping experience, and he is not like many licking dogs, who are always talking around the side 'buzzing'.

Probably because she became acquainted with Sabrina, Miss Christine asked quietly: "Do you usually go shopping like this?"

"When I was in Castletown, I didn't know him that well. He usually likes to go fishing by the sea. I usually try to avoid him..."

Sabrina whispered.

Thinking of Roy always staring lewdly at her thighs and lifting up her skirt for various reasons, her cheeks were stained pink.

Seeing some unnamed green ointments at the door of a magic pharmacy, and seeing the shop assistant at the door grinding a kind of pungent green grass, Miss Christine stopped in her tracks and picked up a bottle. The green grass paste lifted the cover and put it under the nose to smell it, and then suggested to Sabrina:

"This herbal ointment is not bad. It is very effective in repelling mosquitoes, but the smell is a bit unpleasant."
