Chapter 5： Endless land

Adventurer's Guild, this is the official name of the guild that Wood said.

The guild's office is right after the harbor exits, the end of the street in front of it is very conspicuous, and you can see it as soon as you come out. The only thing that makes people wonder is that the huge building has several doors. With so many entrances, there is not even a logo. If it is a rookie who doesn't know anything, it will be a headache.

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

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

Watching Wood and Rodney gradually disappear in the crowds, Ethan always felt that Rodney seemed to be peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and that vision 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 obtain. As long as you find a piece of material, even if you don’t use it, you can get a lot of things you need. It is the real hard currency of this world.

"The magic stone of fire attribute...I don't know what can be done?

In addition to circulation, the greatest value of magic stones is that they have magical effects. For example, the most useful for adventurers is a water purification magic stone. As long as there is such a small water purification magic stone, put it In the wooden bucket that stores clean water, whether it is sea water or contaminated dirty water, it will be purified by the magic stone into the clearest and cleanest water.

"Unfortunately, this water purification magic stone is not a water attribute... I don't know what the fire attribute magic stone does?"

Put away the magic stone, and at the same time tightened the backpack on his body, which contained all his important items, the most important thing was the large stack of books that Gu Yi gave him.

He didn't dare to leave these things in his uncovered boat, who knows if they will be stolen away.

Quickly walked into the newcomer reception hall of the Adventurer's Guild. Ethan found that compared to the hall where people were constantly entering and leaving, it was much deserted here. Looking around, he was the only one.

There was only a young man standing at the counter at the front gate, and he was beckoning to himself enthusiastically at this time: "Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, do you want to register?"

"Ah! Yes!"

Ethan nodded and went to the front of the counter.

"Do you need to pay the membership fee for this?"

He had forgotten this question before. After living in this world for so long, he hadn’t seen anything like coins. He has become accustomed to the days of bartering things. He didn’t think of it for a while, but all guilds and the like seemed to be required. Charges.

"What's not needed is that you will extract a portion of the materials when you store materials in the guild, order and repair ships, and conduct entrusted transactions in the future."

Ethan nodded. It turned out that the fee is only for using the service, which is very suitable for him, a poor rookie.

"Actually, even if you don’t need to pay anything to join the club, there are fewer new people joining the club now." The young man on the opposite side didn’t know if it’s been a long time since I saw anyone. It’s rare to see Ethan. Self-consciously said non-stop: "You are the first person to register for membership in the past six months."

"Huh?" Although Ethan could see that it was a little deserted, he didn't expect that no one had joined the conference for half a year. Isn't it wrong to join the conference by himself?

The clerk on the opposite side immediately saw Ethan’s thoughts, and immediately opened his mouth to stay: "In fact, joining the guild has many benefits. We can provide better ships and at the same time let you recruit more experienced sailors—the guild loses ships. There are still a lot of adventurers who are on the verge of bankruptcy. Although they are not in a good situation, they are experienced. At the same time, storing and consignment of supplies can also save adventurers a lot of time."

"In short, we will help adventurers solve all their worries, as long as they focus on exploring the sea and collecting materials."

"What's more, as long as the adventurer comes back from the sea every time, even if there is no harvest, we will provide the adventurer with three days of free accommodation and food, so that the adventurer can get the fullest rest, and then take a fuller attitude to invest in the new one. In the round of adventure..."

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

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

The clerk sighed helplessly: "Now there are fewer and fewer newcomers from the'hometown' to Statt Island. Most of them are conservative old and stubborn. They don't want to give up anything. To the guild, I think the guild is taking advantage of them."

Shrugging his shoulders, the clerk's expression of contempt was not concealed at all: "From my point of view, those people just want to mess around. Every time they go to sea to find supplies, they use those things in exchange for what they need for life, and they can mix day by day. I didn't go to sea again until there was not much left."

"It's not bad, I know that some are reserved for going to sea. There are others who will never go to sea if they can't survive, and because there are no extra materials in their hands, they can only prepare some clean water when they go out to sea...those people are ten miles away. Nine of them never came back."

Ethan understands that 80% of those who are not willing to join the guild are about the same as those who left before living on the island. They are not young. After they came here, they found that life seemed to get worse, and suddenly they lost their motivation—coming to Star. Tokushima has already taken a life, so if you live an extra day, you will make a profit... If you can't live, it's just losing something that you should have lost long ago.

"Then how do they exchange what they find for food or the like?"

"Oh, you go out from here, turn right, walk along the 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 will go there. When trading, only those who cannot be sold off for a short period of time will be sent to the guild for storage or ask the guild to sell them on their behalf."

"Um... so it was."

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

Ethan nodded, he has already decided to join the guild, not to mention anything else, the guild can provide a lot of information here to help him understand the world better.

"Name?"

"Ethan."

"Age?"

"Seventeen."

"Gender?"

"...male..."

"Height?"

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

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

"The name of the ship?"

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

"Oh~ what a good name."

After filling in the basic information, the clerk picked up a white magic stone from the side, and did not see what he was doing. A blue light emitted from the magic stone and scanned Ethan's face down.

Then he used the magic stone to scan the paper with the basic information of Ethan in his hand again, and then the paper filled with the basic information disappeared so slowly.

Then he raised his hand and slapped the magic stone firmly on the table, only to hear a crisp bang. When he took his hand away, the white magic stone had turned into a finger-wide white strip.

All this happened so quickly, Ethan could only shout in his heart when he reacted, "Can magic stones still be used like this?"

Then I saw the clerk beckoning Ethan to stretch out his hand, and then patted the white strip on his wrist. There was another snap. The white strip was wrapped tightly around Ethan’s wrist. Above, it looks like an ordinary wristband.

"This will be your guild member certification from now on." 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, arms or legs.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the impact of the loss, because the guild has the information of Ethan on file, and the basic identity certificate is lost. He only needs to go to the lobby to reissue one.

"By the way, if you don't like white, we can also help you change the color, but in that case, you need to charge extra. UU Reading "

"What do I need to pay to change the color?"

"The magic stone of the corresponding color."

"..."

Ethan remembered that his fire magic stone is red, but even if this thing is not as effective as the water purification magic stone, it will not be much worse. As a result, it can only be used here in the guild. Change the color of the hand 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." After being the first newcomer in half a year, the clerk was in a very good mood. He pulled Isendo and said a lot: "Actually every floating island The probability of the existence of magic stones is more than 80%, but most people have not found them."

"Really?"

"Really, it's actually not a secret, but the basic information about the calm sea given by the guild does not record this, because it is a sort of screening..."

"Screening?"

"Well, screen out more potential adventurers."

Ethan suddenly felt like he had discovered a big secret.

"What do you let them do after selecting more potential adventurers?"

"What?" The clerk noticed Ethan's thoughts and shook his head slightly: "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 through earlier. The sea of ​​storms, looking for the endless land."

This is how many times he did not know how many times he heard this legend: The vast land, which is endless and can let millions of people live and work in peace, is at the end of the sea. As long as you can find it, you can live a happy life.

"Is this really not a legend of fools?"
