Chapter 442: Inquiring for information, the 'Adventurer's Association' in the fishing village?
The fishing village is small.

The area of ​​the entire town is about the same as that of Buena Village.

The reefs on the seashore were artificially chiseled into squares and piled up as the foundation, raising the ground a lot and presenting a slope.

There are water channels on both sides of the street, and this terrain structure makes it easy for them to discharge domestic sewage directly from the village into the sea. At the east end of the village is an observation deck covered with thick moss, and below the deck are the crashing black waves.

However, unlike Buena Village, a sparsely populated agricultural village, the fishing village has a densely packed building area and narrow streets; even at night, you can see bags of fishing nets in front of the roadside doors.

There were no fish in it, as expected.

But the number of 'villagers' completely exceeded Alan's imagination.

pat, pat.

Alan and his companions walked along the main road towards the center of the town. Many makeshift tents were visible inside and outside the low courtyard walls of the villagers on both sides of the street. Those living inside seemed to be taken in by the host, and most of those living outside were not unwilling to be taken in.

But the yard is already full.

As they passed by, there was even a man with untidy beard and tattered clothes who came out of the tent, took off his pants and urinated next to the sink.

He didn't take these night visitors seriously at all, and similarly, he didn't treat Alan and his companions as outsiders.

So Alan didn't even wait for the other person to finish peeing, and walked over to Loki with her eyes wide open and a look of panic on her face.

——He asked and stood beside him, pulled up his pants, and blended in instantly.

"When did you get here, brother?" Alan didn't even turn around to look at the man.

The other party glanced at the sword in Allen's lower body, his face slightly embarrassed.

".You escaped the day before yesterday. Did you just arrive?"

Alan nodded, "Yes, the war affected us, and we had to come here with our family."

The man shook his head and sighed, "We are in the same boat. I thought the fight would end in one or two months like before, but now it has lasted for half a year. Malchiyuan is really something. Why would he just surrender? Why fight to the death? Those masters in power in the Dikut Kingdom and the Broz Empire seem to have lost their minds. Why do they keep fighting?"
Fortunately, I ran out early when I saw the situation was not good. Fortunately, this war will not reach the seaside, and it is the safest place at the moment.

However, recently all the fish and shrimp in the shallow sea area have been eaten up, and some fishermen have gone to the edge of the deep sea area to fish, risking being caught by the sea people."

“It’s better to have it than not to have it.”

"That's right. I heard that those villagers who didn't take it seriously before are having a miserable time now."

Alan: “Really?”

The man said with a lingering fear: "Who said it wasn't true? According to the news from the Adventurer's Association, the war could not control some brave and powerful adventurers. Some of them were hired as mercenaries. After all, killing people is much more direct than killing monsters."

Allen narrowed his eyes. "Well, now there is a suitable reason to do things that the adventurers usually don't dare to do. After all, after the war, no one can tell which ones are soldiers and which ones are adventurers who have sneaked in."

The man was stunned by these words.

The latter continued, "But what about the Adventurer's Association?"

The man answered subconsciously, "Isn't it the Adventurer's Guild that moved from Riley Town?" He glanced back and said, "Yes, it's the tallest two-story building in the middle of the village. It used to be the residence of the Knights, but the Adventurer's Guild took it over. The Knights in the Conflict Zone are not taken seriously like the villages in the southern countries."

"Then why don't you flee to the south?"

"Don't you know? Xilong has set up a defense line at the border to prevent refugees from entering the country in the name of preventing spies. Who wants to go? If I really become the so-called citizens of those countries, I will have to pay all kinds of taxes every day. It's okay to grow crops, but I have to pay a few percent to the Knights' Mansion for hunting and fishing. Is this reasonable?
If you ask me, the Conflict Zone is pretty good. It's free! If you make money, it's yours! Haha."

Alan glanced at the dagger on the man's waist and nodded.

He pulled up his trouser waist, patted the man on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the Adventurer's Association.

"Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild and see if there are people there at night?"

"How could there be nothing?" The man looked at his shoulder and twitched his mouth. Then he pulled up his trousers and watched Alan and the others go away.

His eyes swept over the well-proportioned, sleek figure of Melna, then swept over Allen and Melna's "child" beside him, and glanced at the tall and strong Clem with an eye patch and a tough face, and finally landed on Allen, who was obviously the backbone of the group and was walking in the front.

The opponent had a very long sword at his waist. Even though it was wrapped in cloth, the hideous hilt, which looked like it was made from the hand bones of some monster, looked very distinctive.

".Tsk, tough guy."

There is no place for idlers in a disputed area.

Villagers?

Compared to the armies of small countries, they can indeed be called 'villagers'.

But to be honest, everyone is just a bandit.

The conflict zone is chaotic and not many people actually obey the law.

The disputed area is very good, everyone can make a living there based on their own abilities.

Those who cannot keep their wealth do not deserve to survive in this land.

Not to mention a man like Allen who owns a beautiful woman.

-

“Sir Allen, you have great tactics. It’s natural for you to flatter him. If it were me, I would probably just put a knife to his neck to intimidate him. But the Conflict Zone doesn’t look very stable. It’s very different from the Kingdom of King Dragon, where everyone is more disciplined.” After returning to land and seeing ordinary passers-by, Clem finally regained some of his self-esteem as a senior swordsman and intermediate divine strike master.

He stayed with Allen for too long and always forgot the fact that he was also an elite vice-captain of the A-level adventurer team in the past.

With a click, the footsteps stopped.

Alan stood at the door of the so-called 'Adventurer's Association'.

This is a two-story attic built in imitation of aristocratic buildings, but both the building materials and the strange shape indicate that this is not Asura.

The candlelight in the room was dim, squeezing out from the gap in the window sill.

There were no tents outside, and it looked as if the refugees had also been warned by the Adventurer's Association.

Allen turned to look at Climb who was standing beside him and speaking diagonally. “The information obtained through intimidation may not be true, and the more you ask, the more it shows that you and I are not from the Land of Conflict. In this case, the information is more likely to be half true and half false.

I don’t want to spend any more time verifying the authenticity of the news.”

Climb nodded.

Allen continued, "I don't know much about the Adventurer's Association. I'll rely on you to negotiate in a while."

Behind him, Luo Qixi spread out her palms and raised them at the right time.

"Alan, I can do that too. I'm an A-rank adventurer and I'm very familiar with the Adventurer's Association."

"You look too non-aggressive, Lokishi. Climb is more suitable."

"Me?,,, offensive?" Lokixi looked up at Alan.

The latter looked down at the ahoge hair on her head that had just been blown up by the hot wind.

Lokishi:
“I understand what this word means.”

Allen silently said: "It's been 15 minutes. My magic power has recovered 1%. Is there any magic stone in the Adventurer's Guild? I remember that the Adventurer's Guild seems to be able to buy, exchange and consign spoils of war."

I have no money, and my magic power needs magic stones of the same quality as Elina Lijie to replenish.
He looked up at the half-open door of the Adventurer's Guild.

How much control does the Human God have over my whereabouts? I have now used the power of destiny to get rid of my identity as an apostle of the Human God. It is certain that He cannot see my future to make corresponding plans, but He will definitely choose an apostle of the Human God.
After a moment of contemplation, Alan tilted his head slightly towards Climb beside him.

"Have you ever heard of a man-god?"

Clem was stunned. “What?”

Allen replied, "It's okay. If you see a blurry creature similar to the faceless creature in your dream later, you must tell me immediately, Clem."

Clem blinked. Although he had no idea what Allen was talking about, the prestige that Allen had built up in his heart during this period had already reached its peak. Clem felt very safe with Allen. At the same time, he also felt that
They are already 'friends'.

Even if it is a one-sided view, anyway, Mr. Allen is a very trustworthy person.

So he just nodded silently and repeated Alan's words to show that he understood.

Alan nodded: "The current position, the current situation of the war in the disputed area, the direction of escape of the refugees, and the terrain distribution of the battlefield." He signaled with his eyes that the other party should go ahead and be the leader of them.

Climb felt a little embarrassed, but he was reliable when his brain was not spinning. After pulling himself together, he put on a serious face and reached out to press on the door.

creak.

The door opened easily.

What came into view was a temporary service hall that looked like a living room, with all the furniture removed.

There is a wall clock on the left wall, which shows the current time.

——23:12.

Below the wall clock is a bulletin board that takes up an entire wall. On the left side of the wall are densely packed papers of varying ages nailed to the wall, some of which have turned yellow and have curled edges.

On the right side stood two counters converted from dining tables. Two chestnut-haired young women were sitting behind them, dozing off with their chins in their hands. Their work clothes were neat and tidy, with low necklines, and their faces did not show any of the tiredness that the refugees outside had. Just by entering the door, it was as if the scene had changed.

As the largest organization in the Six-Sided World, the Adventurer's Guild's power allows its employees to maintain respectability in the conflict zone.
This association was established by Laplace in the past. However, after Laplace split, the Adventurer's Association became very healthy because it had too many interests and was huge in size. Its main profit source was to act as a broker and collect commissions from various commissions.

Part of the control had already been secretly taken over by the Miris sect, and the rest of the profits were distributed to the nobles and royal families of the country where the Adventurer's Association was located.

Asura's Adventurer's Association declined because the border was too safe and the adventurer culture was not popular, so Asura's royal family did not get a share of it. Similarly, Alan had almost no contact with a proper Adventurer's Association.

The Adventurer's Association of the Demon Continent is controlled by the Demon Kings of various territories.

Laplace also opened up the corresponding basic magic circle technology to the Adventurer's Association to ensure that the Adventurer's Association can operate normally without his control.
This is probably the current situation that I inferred from my previous conversations with Climb and Roxy, as well as the original work.

Climb looked around and found that there were only a few adventurers in armor leaning against the wall with their eyes closed in the office hall. Only three people opened their eyes and looked over. Their gazes only moved from Melna to the hilts of the swords on Climb and Allen's waists, and finally closed their eyes again.

Climb walked towards the counter, followed by Allen, Roxy, and Melna.

The sound of footsteps woke up the beautiful association staff who were dozing off. They looked up at Clem and then turned their gazes behind him. However, they did not look at Melna like the other adventurers in the office hall. Instead, their eyes brightened when they saw Alan.

Then the next moment, they all looked at Alan's messy white hair, and a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.
