Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Adventurer's Guild, this is the official name of the guild in Wood's mouth.

The guild's office is right after the port exits, and at the end of the street on the front, it is very conspicuous and can be seen as soon as it comes out. The only puzzling thing is that the huge building has several doors. There are so many entrances that don't even have a logo. If it is a rookie who doesn't know anything, it may be a headache.

Fortunately, with Wood's instructions, Ethan knew that he had to enter through the door on the far left, which was a place for rookies who had just come here. Applying for membership, arranging accommodation for newcomers, etc. are all handled there.

Wood and the others are going to the hall where the veterans most often go to deal with some things. Their ship sank and many crew members died. All these have to be reported, and at the same time, they will extract the deposited property to buy a new ship and so on.

Watching Wood and Rodney disappear into the crowd, Ethan always felt that Rodney was peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and that look was definitely not kind.

"Is it because of the magic stone?"

Magic stone is the most magical existence in this ocean, and it is also the most difficult material to get. As long as you find a piece, even if you don't need it, you can exchange for a lot of things you need. It is the real hard currency in this world.

"The magic stone of the fire attribute... I don't know what it can do?"

The greatest value of the magic stone, apart from circulation, is that it has magical effects. For example, the best use for adventurers is a water purification magic stone. As long as there is such a small water purification magic stone, put it in In a wooden barrel that stores clean water, whether it is seawater or polluted dirty water, it will be purified by the magic stone into the clearest and cleanest water.

"It's a pity that this water purification magic stone is not a water attribute... I don't know what this fire attribute magic stone does?"

After putting away the magic stone, he tightened his backpack, which contained all his important items, the most important being the large stack of books that Gu Yi gave him.

He didn't dare to leave these things on his undisguised boat, who knew if it would be stolen.

Quickly entered the newcomer reception hall of the Adventurer's Guild, Ethan found that compared to the hall where people kept coming in and out, it was much quieter. After looking around, he was actually alone.

There was only a young man standing at the counter at the front door. At this time, he was waving to himself enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Adventurers Guild. Do you want to apply for membership?"

"Ah! Yes!"

Ethan nodded and came to the front of the counter.

"Excuse me, do I need to pay an entrance fee or something to do this?"

He actually forgot about this problem before. He has lived in this world for so long and he has never seen anything like coins. He is used to the days of bartering. Charges.

"No, it's just that you will extract some of the materials when you store materials in the guild, order and maintain ships, and conduct entrusted transactions in the future."

Ethan nodded, it turned out that he was charged for using the service, which was very suitable for his poor rookie.

"Actually, even if you don't need to pay anything to join the club, there are fewer and fewer new people joining the club now." The young man on the opposite side didn't know if he hadn't seen anyone for too long. It was rare to see Ethan like this. He kept talking to himself: "You are the first person to apply for membership in the past six months."

"Ah?" Although Ethan could see that the place was a little deserted, he didn't expect that no one had come to join the club for half a year.

The clerk on the opposite side immediately saw Ethan's thoughts, and immediately said to retain: "Actually, there are many benefits to joining the guild, we can provide better ships, and at the same time allow you to recruit more experienced sailors - lost in the guild. There are still a lot of ships and adventurers on the verge of bankruptcy. Although they are not in good condition, they are experienced. At the same time, storing and consigning supplies can also save adventurers a lot of time.”

"All in all, we will help adventurers solve all their worries, as long as they focus on exploring the sea to collect supplies."

"What's more, as long as the adventurer returns from the sea, even if there is no harvest, we will provide the adventurer with free accommodation and food for three days, so that the adventurer can get the most complete rest, and then devote a fuller attitude to the new one. In the midst of an adventure..."

Balabala said a lot, and Ethan felt that this guild was indeed very conscientious, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with joining it by himself.

"Then why haven't new people joined for half a year?"

The clerk sighed helplessly: "Now there are fewer and fewer newcomers who can successfully reach State Island from 'hometown', and most of them are conservative old stubborn stubborn, who are unwilling to give up a little thing. To the guild, I feel that the guild is taking advantage of them."

Shrugging his shoulders, the clerk's expression of contempt on his face did not hide at all: "In my opinion, those people just want to mess around, and every time they go out to sea to find supplies, they use those things in exchange for what they need for life. Don't go out to sea again until there's very little left."

"This is not bad, I know that I will save some for going to sea. There are others who will not go to sea until they can't survive, and because they have no extra supplies, they can only prepare some clean water when they go to sea... Ten of those people. Nine of them never came back."

Ethan understands that those who are unwilling to join the guild are 80% similar to those who left before living on the island. They are not young. After coming here, they find that life seems to have gotten worse, and they have no motivation all of a sudden - come to Sri Lanka Tate Island has already taken a life, so living an extra day is a gain... If you can't live, it's just losing what you should have lost long ago.

"So how do they trade what they find for food or something?"

"Oh, you go out from here, turn right, and walk along that gravel road, and it won't take long to see a market. It's the largest market on the island; in fact, even adventurers who join the guild go there. For transactions, only those that cannot be sold in a short period of time will be sent to the guild to store or ask the guild to sell on their behalf.”

"Uh...that's what it is."

"Then, I need to fill in some basic information for you next."

Ethan nodded. He had decided to join the guild. If nothing else, the guild could provide a lot of information to help him understand the world better.

"Name?"

"Ethan."

"age?"

"Seventeen."

"gender?"

"……male……"

"height?"

"This...I haven't measured..."

The clerk is extremely skilled in business, measuring and filling in one go.

"Ship name?"

"Uh...this..." Ethan didn't name his own ship. He was stunned when he heard this question for a long time, and finally pinched his forehead and said casually: "Goddess of Dawn."

"Oh~ what a nice name."

After filling in the basic information, the clerk picked up a white magic stone from the side, and he did not see any movement. A blue light was released from the magic stone and swept Ethan's face down.

Then, he used the magic stone to swipe the paper with Ethan's basic information on his hand again, and then the paper with the basic information written on it slowly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and slapped the magic stone on the table, only to hear a crisp 'pop'. When he took his hand away, the white magic stone had turned into a long white strip with the width of a finger.

All this happened so fast, when Ethan reacted, he could only shout in his heart, "Can the magic stone be used like this?"

Then I saw the clerk motioning Ethan to stretch out his hand, and then patted the white strip on his wrist with another snap, and the white strip was so tightly wrapped around Ethan's wrist , it looks like a normal wristband.

"This will be your guild membership certificate in the future." By briefly introducing the simple usage of this thing.

The white wristband can be taken off at will, and it does not have to be worn on the wrist, because it is quite flexible and can also be worn on the neck, arm or leg.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the impact of losing it, because the guild has Ethan's information on file. If the basic identity certificate is lost, he only needs to go to the lobby to apply for a new one.

"By the way, if you don't like white, we can also change the color for you, but you will need to pay extra for that."

"What do I need to pay for a color change?"

"The magic stone of the corresponding color."

"..."

Ethan remembered that his fire-type magic stone was red, but even if it wasn't as effective as the water-type water purification magic stone, it wouldn't be too bad. Change the color of the strap?

"Hungry... It seems that I can't use this service for the time being."

"It doesn't matter, in fact, the magic stone is not as rare as you think." The clerk was in a very good mood after winning the first newcomer in half a year, and pulled Ethan to say a lot of things: "In fact, every floating and sinking island is The probability of existence of the magic stone is more than 80%, but most people have not found it."

"real?"

"Really, it's not really a secret, but the basic information given by the guild to introduce the Sea of ​​Tranquility will not record this, because this is a kind of screening..."

"filter?"

"Well, screen out more potential adventurers."

Ethan suddenly felt like he had discovered a big secret.

"What do you want them to do after selecting more potential adventurers?"

"What to do?" The clerk noticed Ethan's thoughts and shook his head gently: "It's not what you think... The purpose of selecting potential adventurers is to let them grow up as soon as possible, and then let them rush out earlier. Cross the sea of ​​storms and seek the endless land."

This is how many times he has heard this legend: the boundless, vast land that can allow millions of people to live and work in peace, just at the end of the sea, as long as you can find it, you can live happily.

"Is this really not a legend of fooling people?"
