"halt! we are going to do an inspection"
one of the guards stopping us before we entered the city, the guard then escort us to the receptionist, Beside the gate.
"What is your business in this city?"
we are asked by the receptionist.
"I have a business in the guild"
Jade then answered
"Can you show me your Guild identity card?"
"yes, here!"
Jade showing her identity card to the receptionist, the moment the receptionist see her card he was surprised.
"Wha... S rank Adventure!!"
in Jade card there's information that she's an S rank Adventure, I can understand why he was surprised, it's not every day that you can see S rank adventure. the chance to meet one of the S rank adventures is like 1/1.000.000.
"you may pass, but for the other one are you have your guild identity card?"
he permits Jade to in, but the guard then asked me for my guild identity card.
"I don't have, it's my first time coming to the city"
there's no point if I'm lying in here.
"Okay then, you can pay the entry tax fee. it rules from this city."
"how much is it?"
"it's 2 silver coin"
the currency in this age is using a coin, copper, silver, gold, and platinum.
the copper was the lowest currency, 10 copper coin mean 1 silver, 10 silver coin is 1 gold, 10 gold is 1 Platinum, Platinum was the highest currency, it really simple. the daily expenses on this day from what I heard from Jade said it only cost 1 silver coin per day. you can get 3 meals and lodge for one day if you have 1 silver coin.
I open my pouch, I tried to grab my money and giving to the receptionist. I have 3 pouches inside of my bag, it was the money that elder give to me. inside the pouch, there was about 50 Platinum, 100 gold coin and 200 silver coins, with all of this money I can maybe live for about 5 years more, without searching for a job. to be honest, this is too much for me, the elder said that this money is just like a pocket change to the village, they don't mind even if I want more than they give, they will give it to me. seriously... I don't even know how much money the village have, at this point I think they maybe have their treasure room or maybe the village is rich as one nation since they said this much money is like a pocket change. Even though they are just the village, but the village is so fucking rich, I really can't understand them.
I only bought out my silver coin pouch from my bag. I don't want to attract any unnecessary attention if I bought out my two other pouches.
"here, two silver coin"
"thank you, we will register it, please sign in here and write your name then after that you may pass. and because it's your first time coming here please don't do anything that will make trouble for us okay!"
I just nod at them, write my name, and follow Jade from behind.
the city name is Conrad, this city is so big, there's a two-layer wall in this city, the first was the one who I just passed and from what Jade said, all of the building in the second wall is the administration building, religion building, and Guild headquarters. The guild was our first destination so we take the main road to make it faster to the second wall, along the way I see a food stall, shopping district, some monster carriage the wagon, mount shop, weapon shop, and even there's a slave market.
this was my first time seeing a slave market because my common sense is still like 5000 years ago I can't come to agree about the term of a slave,
'that is... to think I will see it... I think 5000 years ago should be there's still a slave market but it's hidden in the dark world, and right now they're openly selling the slave, what a poor taste... there's nothing I can do'
that was what I think.
but in here the weapon shop was the one who more dominant.
this is an adventure city, after all. it's not rare to see weapon shops everywhere on every corner in this city and everywhere I see there is always an adventure in here is just like the title of this city, the adventure city.
there's no dominant race in this here, all the races are welcome in here. the city is neutral, no law prohibited another race to come here. if there's a law in here that prohibited one race I'm sure the adventure in this city will be reduced. in some country maybe there is a law that prohibited some races but here you can't find that discrimination, if there's some discrimination the guild will try to persuade them. the guild accepts every race and everyone they prioritize the person's ability and experience, they don't care about the race. as long as they can contribute to society and do the job properly the guild will always back them up. It was an organization based on the result.
"hey Jade, what kind the type of person is the guild master? you said he is from our village so you know about him right?"
"of course I know. what kind huh?, well if I can say, he is a cheerful person, he was a really kind person, he cared about anything in the village. to me, he is like a brother, even though when I little, I tend to bother him at anything but he never angry at me or scolding me, I never see him angry, oh and he is really smart maybe he is the type of same as you, Len!"
"hmmm is that so? well that's was a relief, I'm afraid that the person we will meet is fanatic, but from what you said it looks like he is a normal man I'm glad"
I'm afraid if someone that I meet turns out to be fanatic and starts to bow to me, just because I'm their master.
"oh I forget to mention it, his wife is the same like him, she is from our village too, the two of them was a great combi Adventure before they married and before he became guild master"
"ahh, so the two of them was the one you mention about someone who is from our village, have a harmony life on the outside"
"yes it's two of them"
"then can I rely on you, Jade? please explain it to them, I don't want to make a scene after all"
"Leave it to me!"
I'm giving the matters of the villager of our village in this city to jade.
We go through to the second wall, we have no trouble passing the second wall. There's no inspection or anything and even there's no one who guards the gate in front of the gate. like Jade said in the second wall there's only an administration building, a religious building, some of them are a hotel, but the hotel in here looks like a 5-star hotel because the hotel looks very classy. not long after we passed the gate we finally arrive at the guild headquarters.
'Woah, this building is big'
that was what I thought
"then Len Len, I will go in first, we will separate, for now, you can wait in here for 5/10 minutes, after that you can come in to register.
jade adding her explanation.
"oh and by the way, the fee of the register is only 5 copper, is just for the administration"
"thank you for the information Jade and please tell them properly okay, I don't want to see someone bowing in front of me again and calling me master, is exhausting after all!"
"hyahahaha, okay!"
Jade then come into the guild, I was waiting in front of the guild, I don't want to come in with Jade, she already have become an S rank, I'm sure there will be commotion if I come in with Jade.
it's already 30 minutes, Jade maybe already make an appointment with the guild master, I deliberately waiting for more than 10 minutes because I want to take a stroll in the second layer of this city.
"well it's already 30 minutes, Jade must be already meet with the guild master, I will go in then"
