Adventurers Guild

After Fran went to the designated mage reception area of the Alliance and left her belongings and horse there, she took advantage of the early hour to look for the Enchanter's shop.

When Fran arrived at the original location of the shop after asking around, she was dumbfounded.

Because there are no Enchanter here, only a huge building with a Nameplate at the entrance that reads "[Adventurers Guild]".

The building is decorated in an extremely ornate manner. The walls on the first floor are made of gray stone, the second floor is painted reddish-brown, and the third floor is blue.

Each floor's walls are adorned with exquisite patterns, and they appear to be regularly maintained, with not a single flaw on the surface.

Above the building, there is a figure dressed in a long traveler's robe and wearing a round hat, looking upwards.

"So impressive!"

Fran looked up at the building briefly and uttered the above exclamation.

This was the first time she had encountered such aesthetically pleasing architecture in another world; she had never seen anything like it in the City of Apprentices.

She knew that the Adventurers Guild in this world was different from the one in her previous life's Western fantasy world, but she didn't expect that these buildings would have such an aesthetic style.

Unlike the tavern-style Adventurers Guild halls she had previously imagined, the ' Adventurer ' here belonged to a truly high-end industry.

Mercenary, on the other hand, are the ones who frequently take on missions and are willing to do anything for money. However, they don't have their own Association and only accept missions through intermediaries.

Think about it: if you were a merchant, would you just randomly hire a bunch of Mercenary from a tavern to protect you? You'd be lucky if those Mercenary didn't rob you.

Merchants hire mercenaries only after they have trusted intermediaries who investigate the background of each Mercenary to ensure that the mercenaries will not steal from their employers.

This is already considered one of the more respectable Mercenary, able to earn rewards by escorting goods, and their status is in the upper-middle range among Mercenary.

Adventurer hold a higher status than all Mercenary, simply because Magic Creature are a precious resource in this world.

In this world, not all Magic Creature are valuable. For example, if you encounter a wild wolf outside Fran City, killing it might only yield some wolf fangs, which are considered useful materials.

If the equipment is damaged, it's a pure loss.

Those valuable Magic Creature that were relatively easy to find have long since become extinct; most are difficult to find and are still hidden in the mountains and forests.

Adventurer are a group of people who search for valuable Magic Creature in remote and uninhabited places, using the materials they carry to earn Profession.

The Adventurers Guild is an organization that provides these Adventurer with transportation, shipping their hunting spoils, logistical support, and information on Magic Creature appearances.

Although there are other smaller organizations, if you want to obtain materials for a Magic Creature, you absolutely cannot bypass this one.

The Alliance only allows the existence of the Adventurers Guild in a few provinces; in other provinces, the Alliance organizes its own guilds.

Coincidentally, this is one of the few Adventurers Guild in the Grey Soil Province Gede Town.

It lies on the border between the Grey Soil Province and the Antir Region, covering a large area for Adventurer to engage in activities.

"Let's go in and ask."

Fran thought to herself that although the Adventurers Guild was powerful and being Adventurer was a lucrative profession, Fran didn't need this Profession to make money.

The money she spent crafting just three single -Spell Ring was more than an average Adventurer could save in a lifetime. High income naturally comes with high investment; those Adventurer also have to spend a lot of money to improve themselves and replace their equipment.

She went inside and pushed open the door, which was made of some unknown material. It had a metallic feel, yet it was very light and could be pushed open with one hand.

The first thing Fran's boots stepped on was Marble floor, which was very smooth.

A magnificent brass candlestick hung in the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall.

On the walls of the hall, there were blackboards with information about the Magic Creature written in chalk.

This is just an introduction to these Magic Creature; you'll need to ask the front desk for more specific information.

The receptionist's eyes lit up when she saw Fran approaching in Formal Mage robes. She stepped out from behind the counter and said to Fran:

"Hello, sir mage. Do you need any Magic Creature materials, or do you want to place an order for Magic Creature?"

Although the entry standards for Adventurer are high, they are not so high that Formal Rank is required to become an Adventurer.

Normally, as long as you know a complete sword technique, or have studied as an apprentice in a School for two years and know three spells, you are a qualified Adventurer.

Moreover, there are experienced players who will guide newbies in activities, as long as they have basic combat ability.

Many Mercenary are so bad you wouldn't believe it; some don't even know a single Combat Technique, yet they still dare to become Mercenary.

When was this place built?

The receptionist was stunned for a moment before realizing that Fran was referring to when the Adventurers Guild was established.

She thought for a moment before replying:

"Your Excellency, I'm not entirely sure of the exact time, but it was roughly five years ago that this place was built by the Construct School, and then we moved here from another location."

"We used to be in other parts of Gede Town, and we only moved here after this building was completed," she added.

Fran glanced at the information about the Magic Creature beside her and then said:

"Do you still have records of the land requisition and demolition from back then? I need to find an Enchanter in this area."

Fran's words left the receptionist speechless. If Fran hadn't been wearing Formal Mage's robe, she would have thought the receptionist was there to cause trouble.

However, after struggling to find the right words, she still didn't know how to respond. If she agreed, she didn't know if there was actually a record of it, and it was also difficult to refuse.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Fran reached out and handed her something that dispelled all her thoughts.

It was a Gold Coin, and in her opinion, it was of very high quality, probably something that circulated in major cities.

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment while I go find the information."

She made up her mind that, for the sake of this Gold Coin, she would do anything to find it. If she couldn't find the relevant information, she would return the Gold Coin; if she did find it, she would make a fortune.

She ran off in a hurry, asking someone else to come and serve Fran, before rushing into the room herself.

Fran was looking at the Magic Creature information on the blackboard when one item caught her attention.

[First Order Magic Creature - Earth Dragon, ten teams have failed to defeat it. The target possesses powerful Earth Element magic abilities and can cast powerful skills. Please contact the front desk for details.]

What interested Fran even more was that a notification popped up on her Panel.
