Black sail

Chapter 723 CIII. The Adventurer's Guild is Established in Grand Style

Forgotten Harbor Adventurers' Guild.

Passing through the square and entering through the half-open oak gate, a stench of sweat, leather, alcohol, and a slight gunpowder hits you.

The hall was high and spacious, with several huge iron chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The burning whale oil crackled and emitted a dim yellow light that illuminated the entire space, casting dappled shadows on the stone brick walls.

On the stone platform in the very center stands a giant wooden board, three meters high and about twenty meters wide, which is the core of the guild: the commission list.

The wooden board was covered with papers of various colors, with tasks marked in charcoal and ink. Because this was Forgotten Harbor, the Adventurers' Guild also took on some government business, helping the Cross Alliance post bounty notices on a separate board.

High-risk missions, or major wanted criminals whose lives are at stake, are marked with blood-red lettering.

Last year, the Black Sail gang's reputation spread to the Narrow Sea after the Blue Bay Port incident on the east coast of Bema. They were once marked with blood.

Reputation varies, good or bad; the past is the past, the present is the present.

Lisiter is no longer someone to be underestimated.

Some of the panels have sketches of restricted areas, labeled "Explore the fluorescent forest, collect live Grey Horned Moths, reward negotiable."

Some bounty posters have a red cross painted on them, with the note "Pursue the rogue knight, dead or alive, twenty gold dragons for the dead, thirty gold dragons for the alive".

A large group of adventurers were gathered around the quest post, some standing on tiptoe to examine it, others pointing their daggers at the quest and arguing in hushed tones. A burly man with a thick beard reached out to snatch up a lucrative errand-running deal, but was stopped by a hunter wearing an eye patch and equipped with a mechanical arm. The two locked eyes, the tension palpable.

The hall was filled with rough wooden tables and chairs, most of which were covered with marks of swords and scribbled signatures. On them were roasted meat, hard wheat cakes, and leather bags filled with dark liquid.

The table was filled with adventurers from all over the country who had come here to make a living. A young swordsman in leather armor was sharpening his longsword with a whetstone. The blade gleamed coldly. He would occasionally glance at the bounty board, his eyes full of eager anticipation.

The werewolf warriors who came down from the plateau held huge bowls in both hands, drinking large gulps of ale, the liquor flowing down their lips and soaking the fur on their chests.

A robed Issu mage leaned against a corner, his fingertips shimmering with a faint blue light, as he looked down at a tattered ancient book. Occasionally, he would glance up and sweep his gaze across the crowd with a hint of aloofness and wariness.

Bearded dwarves, green-skinned orcs, and scantily clad female dark elves—all sorts of people.

But as we all know…

The most legendary creatures of the Western Continent reside here.

Adventurers with the looks of gambling addicts or drug addicts sat around a table, discussing introductory quests, drinking and gambling amidst the clatter of dice hitting the ground and the swishing of playing cards.

"I just got a new girlfriend, and I asked her to sell her body to help out my buddies, but she won't. Any good ideas, guys?"

An older man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at the cards in his hand and quickly covered them up again.

“I still have two silver coins on me. How about your little girlfriend? I’ll give her a try first. Once she’s tasted the sweetness of two silver coins, she definitely won’t run away.”

Another guy was drinking.

"Where did you get the money? Didn't we still have a bill from yesterday's restaurant dinner?"

Another guy asked.

"Sigh, I pawned the set of solid wood furniture that I had commissioned a craftsman to make for my home, and got some money from it."

The guy who was drinking replied.

The kind of guy that Ryan described as a conman was finally someone Lister had encountered in eleven years; it was truly amazing.

Several adventurers were leaning over the counter where commission contracts were being signed, exchanging information while drinking, their voices hushed, and glancing around warily every now and then.

Li Si Te! Stepping into the Adventurers' Guild for the first time in eleven years!

General Fen sometimes sends people to buy materials for his rituals, but Li Site has never come in. He is extremely careful because he is a member of the underworld and is afraid of being noticed.

I've become an adventurer too!

Pushing aside the throng of people, I arrived at the counter.

Forgotten Harbor is a major port with too many quests and too many wanted criminals for one guild to handle, and the competition between its various branches is quite fierce.

Therefore, the female characters on the signboard are all incredibly beautiful and have amazing breasts, seemingly understanding the male characters' fantasies. The people of Ys have a racial advantage in this area.

"Is there anything you need?"

The fox-eared signboard girl smiled professionally. She had seen all kinds of people and had the ability to judge character. Of the six people, the tiger-man's clothes were quite expensive, and the rest were all extraordinary.

Gloria was featured in the annual Goddess Handbook. Even with half her face covered, you could still tell she had a fantastic figure.

Meredith is also somewhat famous, and she also wears a half-face mask. Although she is not as big as Galsek, Galsek is a superhuman species and cannot be compared to her. Among human women, she is the ultimate BBW.

The other two women were even more stunning; I've never seen Celine and Basty with such amazing figures.

After Lister's four-leaf clover came into view of everyone at the counter, all the adventurers couldn't take their eyes off Lister, who was at the head of the group. Who was this guy? The tiger-man was obviously his butler, responsible for buying sex toys for Lister, and he was so jealous that his face was twisted.

Celine had been to Heaven's Port and seen all sorts of things. She was no longer bothered by the naked, lustful stares. She even stretched and yawned, playing with these guys who seemed to have never seen a woman before.

Basti felt extremely uncomfortable; she had joined the Holy Spirit Church at a very young age and had never been to such a place before.

When she fought against cult forces and various groups such as the Eternal Sect, her thoughts were always on bringing benefits to the people of the Western Continent.

In Basty's fantasy, adventurers are simple and honest, dedicated to the cause of justice, and like the knights of old, they solve monster problems. How come everyone is a perverted demon king?
"I want to form an adventure team, what do I need?" Lisite realized that he had become the center of attention. His harem members were so good-looking and had such great figures that it was hard not to attract attention.

If a classic lecherous character ends up playing along with me, that's fine too.

These women are ruthless, one after another. They don't even need to lift a finger; if everyone in the house attacked together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat them.

The signboard girl stated her conditions.

Indeed, the conditions were the same as those mentioned by Basti. However, Basti was all show and no substance, all looks and no substance. She knew a lot, but now, facing the gazes of many sexually repressed men, she was extremely embarrassed and crossed her arms.

Do you want to join?

Lister asked Nassano.

"We have to join! This adventure team will be recorded in history."

Nasano came here to make a name for himself in history. Once the great calamity is over, he, this poisonous insect, will be the kind of wise man who guides the savior in the story.

That sounds incredibly awesome.

"Xiaomei, come here, it's your turn to take the stage."

Lisiter asked Meredith to come and operate it.

Guilds have special privileges for adventurers of the Honor rank or above. Some low-key individuals do not want to reveal their identities, and even the guild mascots have professional ethics.

The signboard girl was somewhat surprised to discover that Meredith's card identified her as a hero-level adventurer, or even a somewhat famous Thorn Knight, but she kept quiet after Lister asked her to keep it a secret.

Meredith has undertaken countless high-risk missions and is already an extremely powerful adventurer.

It's just that Lisiter went too far, doing all sorts of amazing things, which made someone as awesome as Meredith seem rather mediocre in front of a bunch of monsters and demons.

"Alright, setting up an adventurer's guild requires a five-silver-coin processing fee. The guild provides special services for adventurer's guilds. Given this lady's level, the adventurer's guild she creates will initially be a Gold-level adventurer's guild, enjoying the guild's warehouse service and heavy item delivery service, but there will be a special management fee of ten silver coins per month. Would you like this service?"

The signboard girl's tone became respectful; it turned out this was the Thorn Knight.

Upon hearing that these people wanted to form an adventure team, with the initial target level being Gold, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Is it initially set as Gold grade?
That means there's at least one hero-level adventurer among them.

The classic scenario of a lecherous man playing along with the master didn't happen; other situations did occur.

"Hey bro, can I come with you? I'd go through fire and water for you, bro."

Outgoing adventurers have already begun to approach Lister.

Once someone started, it became unstoppable.

"I am a Gold-level adventurer. You can see the number of commissions I've completed on my card. I've solved two high-risk missions. I'd like to join you."

"Everyone calls me... the Lord of Destruction. I have the intermediate mage qualification certified by the Tower Alliance, and I'm not some quack who only knows a few tricks."

The next ones all boasted even more.

"The Sword King of the Narrow Sea is none other than myself!"

"Gouba Sword King, I am known as the Invincible Holy Sword! I possess the true teachings of the Dragon Owl!"

"Get out of here with your swordsmanship that's barely enough to cut down a goblin. I spent some time in Heaven's Harbor and survived. I even drank with Raine, the walking treasure map. I'm honest, my skill level is above average, but I'm ruthless when it comes to getting things done."

It turned into a live recruitment event hosted by Bos.com.

Serene listened to these people's self-praise and shook her head helplessly. "The person in front of you is Donghai Deaf-Headed Prisoner."

All I can say is that Li Site really knows a thing or two about role-playing.

Li Si Te felt like he had done a lot of side quests before starting the main quests, and it was kind of fucking awesome.

The legendary adventurers are all sent by themselves to fight and kill in the continental martial arts tournament.

Now he truly is the BLOWJOB LORD, the king of outlaws.

However, since it's a grand adventure, why call it a sneaky adventure? We have to make something of it. Going to Pedan is not only about finding Fafnir and going to Neverwinter Tower, but also about causing some trouble.

As the funeral coffin attendant Merl said, using General Finn's human rights card comes with risks, and the Magic Energy Industry Committee coming to their door will be difficult to deal with.

Having worked with Finn for so many years, Lisite knew that Finn had a partner mentality and didn't treat him like an older brother. However, none of the core members showed him much respect.

The leader should act like the leader and help you settle things. Even the sly and cunning Glasses should be firmly controlled.

"Alright, we're all brothers in the same trade. If there are any true heroes here, I'll form an adventure team here today, gather at Forgotten Harbor, and uphold justice on behalf of Heaven."

Li Si Te immediately resorted to polite words.

Celine slapped her forehead. "It's all over, it's all damn over! This is the Adventurers' Guild, not the mafia! God the hell is doing justice for us! You completely forgot we were supposed to stay out of the way, didn't you!"
