"Are Familia divided into many categories?"
"Of course. After all, this city is full of opportunities."
Seeing that the young man seemed unfamiliar with Orario, Misha knew he had probably just arrived, so she eagerly introduced him.
The so-called "Familia" refers to factions composed of gods and mortals.
Although the gods seal their divine powers when they descend to the mortal world, they can bestow "Falna" upon mortals, allowing them to grow with high efficiency, thus forming "Familia."
The gods come to the mortal world for fun, so they fully decide the activities of their dependents based on their own interests. Therefore, Familia are divided into various types according to the interests of the gods.
For example, merchant, craftsman, and fishing Familia are relatively common types. There are even national-type Familia where gods have established entire kingdoms and play national games.
Among all the Familia, "Exploration Familia" are undoubtedly the most numerous.
Exploration Familia refer to those that make money by taking risks in dungeons, using magic stones or materials dropped by killing monsters in the dungeons.
"Then it's only the exploration Familia. Which is the strongest among the exploration Familia?"
After listening to the explanation, Hoshiharu made a decision without hesitation and continued to ask.
There was no doubt about it.
Although he was very reluctant to part with Hestia, Hoshiharu would never mock his ambitions.
He came to this world only to become stronger. Only by being in a strong Familia could he become stronger as quickly as possible. Moreover, the Noble Art (Absolute Speed) drained his body significantly, so he needed strong and reliable companions.
"The strongest? That would be Freya Familia and Loki Familia..."
Misha looked at Hoshiharu with hesitation, as if there was something behind her words.
"However, strong Familia are generally long saturated with personnel. Even if they need to add members, they have special talent channels. It's hard for outsiders to join."
When she said this, Hoshiharu recalled.
The strongest Familia in Orario were indeed Freya Familia and Loki Familia. These two Familia were at the top of all Orario, and they also played important roles in the original works.
But according to Misha, there was basically no shortage of people for top-level Familia like these. Even less high-ranking Familia only occasionally added members.
It was basically impossible for Hoshiharu to join these top two Familia.
No, if it were Freya Familia... could it be possible?
Misha couldn't help but glance at the young man again, feeling a little sad inside. Would such a handsome man eventually fall into the arms of the Goddess of Beauty?
"If I don't join a Familia, there's no way to get a Falna, right?"
"Yes."
After receiving a definite answer, Hoshiharu thought hard.
Falna could only be bestowed by gods. Although the Falna given by all gods were the same, there was no need to be picky. However, to get a Falna, he had to join the Familia of a particular god.
Hmm... Should he follow Kiriko's suggestion?
It shouldn't be a problem to charm one or two goddesses with his charisma. Hoshiharu wondered if gods had resistance to charm?
However, any goddess's Familia members he could charm might not be very strong.
"The Guild also accepts requests from Familia looking for talent from time to time. Do you want to see them?"
Misha found a stack of information and handed it to Hoshiharu diligently.
Hoshiharu glanced at it.
The words inside weren't in Japanese but rather a complete foreign language.
But he actually understood. The text was talent commissions from various Familia, asking the guild to help find the talent they needed.
In that case, could it be that what he heard in his ears wasn't actually Japanese but automatically translated into Japanese, and what he actually spoke was Alien?
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that when people around him spoke, the sound and their lips didn't match at all.
'Let's try translating it into Mandarin.'
As soon as Hoshiharu got the idea, the surrounding voices suddenly switched smoothly from Japanese to Mandarin. The adventurers spoke in a square dialect, and every word was pronounced with a perfect accent.
Good friend, that's an advantage.
"Don't worry about this now. Let's wait for two days."
Hoshiharu returned the information to Misha. Most of the people here were from commercial Familia members looking for members, perhaps not needing to go through the guild.
"Is there a place where I can exchange money?"
"Yes, over there. You can exchange anything."
Misha pointed to the other side of the hall, where several closed windows were labeled Exchange Office.
"By the way, if I were to choose one of the two top Familia, which one do you think is better?"
Before leaving, Hoshiharu suddenly stopped and asked Misha.
"Eh?"
Misha was slightly surprised, unable to react.
"Of course, Loki Familia. That Familia still has a very good reputation..."
In contrast, Freya Familia was somewhat... difficult to explain.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome... please come see me next time!"
Misha reluctantly waved her hand and watched the young man leave.
A person like that was destined to have no chance with an ordinary guild employee like her, but it would be great if she could attract his attention if he could often come to her window.
However, was that man planning to target the top Familia members?
At the exchange office, Hoshiharu took out some jewelry from his backpack and exchanged it for a total of more than two million valis, and got a small bag of gold coins.
Valis was the currency of this world, with three denominations: gold, silver, and copper. Its purchasing power was temporarily unclear.
After exchanging a sum of money, Hoshiharu left the guild headquarters with a backpack on his back.
After he left, several figures looked at each other, then followed him sneakily, with grim and fierce expressions.
Misha had been peeking at the young man's figure, and she was shocked when she saw this. She immediately got up and walked out of the headquarters, but when she reached the door, a few people were already lost in the crowd.
"Oops, I forgot to tell him not to exchange too much money at once!"
Misha hit her head in frustration.
Who would have thought that young man would take so much wealth at once? Didn't he know that wealth shouldn't be revealed?
How did he manage to get to Orario without being deceived to death along the way?
Most adventurers live lives licking blood off the edge of a knife. Many people have careless and cruel personalities, and it's not uncommon for gangsters to eat gangsters. If you want to live a stable life in Orario, you must at least be vigilant and cautious.
"I hope this experience will help him understand this truth..."
❀❀❀
After leaving the guild headquarters, Hoshiharu walked toward East Street.
"The top Familia have been saturated for a long time and generally won't recruit newcomers from outside. However, if there is a super newcomer famous throughout Orario, I wonder if such Familia will be tempted?"
If he went to the base areas of the top two Familia now, he might be rejected.
However, if people from the dependent clans came to him, that would be a different story.
In particular, as a newcomer, he wanted to make his name famous throughout Orario.
If a newcomer who had never received any Falna could defeat adventurers who had received Falna, or even advanced adventurers, he would surely attract the attention of countless Familia.
"In short, let's make big news first!"
Hoshiharu snapped his fingers and walked steadily toward the arena on East Street under the gaze of passersby around him.
