Aldric queued for a long time before finally standing in front of the reception desk.
It was still the same receptionist as last time.
She seemed surprised to see that Aldric had actually returned unharmed.
"Did you complete the mission?" she asked in a low voice, looking unsure.
Normally, there was no need for a report if the mission failed, so no one would return to report unless the mission was successful.
This receptionist felt that Aldric might have come to report his failure.
However, just as she was thinking that, he suddenly placed a piece of paper in front of her.
It was even pointed directly at her so she could read it right away.
(I am Ron, I hereby declare that the mission I was given has been completed. The one who brings this letter to the Golden Lion Guild can claim his reward!)
"You really did it, how did you do it?" asked the receptionist spontaneously but then she sealed her lips tightly.
How someone accomplished a mission was their business, the guild had no right to find out unless it was detrimental to the guild.
"Well, you did it, you get your reward," she said again, changing the subject.
She opened her desk drawer, placed the letter into the drawer and took out a cloth bag from inside the drawer.
"Your reward is 6000 Coins, but since you are not a guild member, there is a 20% deduction, so you get 4800 Coins!"
She placed the cloth bag in front of Aldric who rolled his eyes.
Apparently, the 6000 Coins written down did not include any deductions.
"Sir, if you wish, you will be accepted into the guild. By becoming a guild member, the deduction from your reward is only 5%." The receptionist explained about the benefits of being a guild member.
However, Aldric did not want to complicate his life.
He shook his head in response.
"No, I won't join," he said, picking up the cloth bag, transferring it into his Storage Artifact before walking away under the receptionist's barely blinking gaze.
He did not want to be tied down, which was why he did not plan on joining any groups.
After exiting the guild headquarters, he found that the sky was already completely night.
His eyes gazed upwards, amazed by the dazzling sight.
There were so many stars in the sky, it seemed like there was a galaxy right above this world.
There was even a moon so big, it was a hundred times bigger than the moon on earth.
Its light penetrated the darkness of the night so that the area without a light source was also not so dark.
"What is it?"
Something made Aldric dumbfounded.
On that moon, he saw countless dots of light, yellowish in color, like they were candlelight.
They made him think of the view of the earth at night when viewed from a satellite where there were dots of light that were very lively cities.
Were the dots of light on the moon cities?
"Bro, we meet again, did you just do the mission?"
When Aldric was filled with speculation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Looking to the side, he found the slender figure of Eliot with a large sword on his back coming towards him.
His eyes glanced at the moon occasionally, knowing that the new Aldric was playing surprised by the sight on the moon.
In the end, this was not written in the guidebook.
Information about it was only known after the players saw it in person and asked the NPCs.
"Hehehe, bro, are you curious about those points of light on the moon?" asked Eliot with a quiet laugh.
"Are they cities?" asked Aldric.
"Yes, they are cities. The moon also has life and we can go there. It is said that the moon is where the stronger people live. In the past, this world was attacked by dragons. Those who were weak were devoured while those who were strong fled to the moon. They lived peacefully there, and as the years passed, they gave birth to many offspring and built many cities."
"Really? Then how do we go there?" Aldric only became more amazed.
This world had a huge moon with civilization, this was too beyond his imagination.
"We haven't reached that stage yet. This game update hasn't reached cities that have transportation to the moon. As far as I know, the cost of going there is not expensive, but the cost of living there is very high. In this world, we need to have the wealth of a nobleman to be able to live on the moon." Eliot explained.
Until now, after staring at Eliot for a while, Aldric stared at the moon without stopping.
His eyes did not blink at all.
He had played just to see, but now there were more things to be curious about.
"Brother Eliot, thanks for the information, there are still things I want to do, I'll go first," he said after a while, taking a hasty step.
Eliot's expression became strange when he saw him.
'He seems to be stimulated,' he thought with a faint smile.
After that, he entered the Golden Lion Guild.
When he entered, the Receptionist actually greeted him immediately so that he could skip the queue.
Privileges like this were only given to members of the guild.
Meanwhile, Aldric entered a very large clothing store.
It sold many clothes at low prices but with good quality.
He bought some clothes consisting of trousers and t-shirts that were comfortable to fight in.
Since they set up a changing room, he could change his clothes right away.
With the new clothes, he finally looked better.
His tall body plus his muscular physique only made him more dashing.
Thinking it was a bit too conspicuous, he ended up using a coat-like outfit as an outer layer.
If he fought, he could simply take it off.
