"So, Lucian... This is the Inn that I stay in and They serve good food here at a very good value. You said, you don't have a family or a house. So, you can live here." Sylvie spoke with a smile as she she showed the inn to Lucian.
Lucian turned to look at the Inn and read it's name.
"Golden Times Inn..." Lucian spoke with a smile.
"Why are you laughing ?" Sylvie asked.
"Well, where I come from... These type of names are only used for brothels." Lucian replied.
"Oh, Is that so ?" Sylvie replied.
"Yeah, But... More than that, I don't have money to stay here. What's the room renting cost here ?" Lucian asked.
"It's about 5 coppers for 24 hours." Sylvie replied.
"How much do you think this is worth ?" Lucian spoke as he opened his inventory and took out the Slime's Magic Stone.
"Woah... Mr. Lucian, You know Space magic ?" Sylvie asked with a surprised expression.
"Yeah... Why ?" Lucian asked with a serious expression.
"That's very rare... Be safe of the Slave traders, If they found out about this ability, they will turn you into a slave and sell you as a portable bag to the high level adventurers." Sylvie explained.
"Okay... I will now." Lucian spoke as he immediately closed the inventory.
"So, What do you think ?" Lucian asked as he showed the magic stone to Sylvie.
"Hmm... It's a Slime's Magic stone. If you are in this Kingdom's guild, then you will get 10 coppers but if you aren't, then you will only get 8 coppers." Sylvie spoke.
"Are you in the guild ?" Lucian asked.
"Yes, Yes... I am in the guild." Sylvie spoke.
"Well, Can you trade them for me ?" Lucian asked.
"Yeah, Sure. But, Why don't you join the guild ?" Sylvie asked.
"Is there any benefit in that ?" Lucian asked.
"There are many, You can buy raw materials, Artifacts and spell books from the guild at 20% lower prices from what they cost at the market and you can sell them without paying the 2% tax that you have to pay at the market.
You can meet other guild members there and make party with them to level up fast or you can take quests alone in order to make more money." Sylvie explained.
"Fine, I will join it... But, are there any conditions on and after joining the guild ?" Lucian asked as both of them started walking towards the Adventurer's Guild.
"Yeah, You have to help the Guild when in need." Sylvie spoke.
"Just that ?" Lucian asked.
"Yeah... Just that and we are here. This is the Adventurer's guild, Mr. Lucian." Sylvie spoke as she stopped and pointed towards a big house that had 4 big entrance gates.
It was made out of wood and Stone entirely.
"Okay, Let's do this..." Lucian spoke as both of them entered inside the Adventurer's guild.
As soon as Lucian entered inside the guild, He noticed many tables, where adventurers were sitting and talking to each other about their quests and other things.
On the left wall, there was a big board where quests were listed and adventurers were gathered around that board.
At the front of the Guild hall, there were five counters. On these counters, Queries and Questions of new Adventurer's were answered.
"Hi, Jill..." Sylvie spoke as she started talking to one of the receptionist.
"Hello, Sylvie. How can I help you ?" Jill asked with a smile.
"My friend, Lucian wants to sign up for the guild." Sylvie spoke.
"Oh, He can sign up... But, Anyone lower than level ten will be an outer Member." Jill spoke.
"I understand..." Sylvie replied.
"What's an Outer Member ?" Suddenly, Lucian spoke from behind.
"Oh, Mr. Lucian..."
"An Outer Member means, you will not be able to take all the quests but all the other conditions will remain the same.
You can buy anything from guild at 20% off and sell items without tax. I assume Mrs. Sylvie would've told you everything, right ?" Jill asked.
"Yes... She did. I want to sign up." Lucian replied.
"Okay, please place your hand over this crystal ball and supply mana to it." Jill spoke as she gave a crystal ball to Lucian.
Lucian placed his hand over the crystal ball and started supplying mana.
As soon as he supplied mana into the crystal ball, the ball started shining and suddenly a Silver card came out of the crystal ball.
The card didn't contained any information about Lucian, instead it contained just the guild's logo.
"This will be your identity card for the guild and it will return to you in 5 seconds after you drop it anywhere. If the card doesn't come to you, it means you are dead.
Try it..." Jill spoke.
"Should I throw it ?" Lucian asked.
"Yeah, throw it."
Lucian immediately threw the card and waited.
'1... 2... 3... 4... 5.'
As soon as the five seconds were completed, the card immediately flew back to Lucian.
"Haha... This is cool." Lucian spoke with a smile.
"Welcome to the Guild, Mr. Lucian. I hope you have a great time." Jill spoke with a smile.
"One more thing, Can I sell this here ?" Lucian asked as he gave the magic stone to Jill.
"An F-Rank magic stone ? Yeah, We will give you 12 coppers, 10 for the stone and 2 coppers as an welcome bonus." Jill replied with a smile as she took the core from him and gave him 12 copper coins.
