In the past, guild employees only handled local business. Occasionally there would be large-scale regional commissions from other places, and very rarely there would be emergencies such as monster siege. The principle for setting up guild bases at that time was that one place would only
There is a stronghold for centralized processing of intelligence data and management of adventurers.
But after the forum was established, the two major guilds have used the convenience of the forum to form a set of effective information exchange methods. And the content of the exchange is not only "intelligence", but also mission evaluation, undertaking situations, adventurers
The grading, acceptance of commissions and final results, etc., are all recorded and evaluated by dedicated people on the forum.
In other words, the original need to set up only one guild base in an area to facilitate the centralized processing of information no longer exists. It only needs to have clerks who are familiar with the forum and rely on the support of the forum to set up a guild reception
It becomes the place where entrustment is accepted and tasks are assigned.
The advantage of spreading the site widely is, of course, that it can expand the scope of services. The convenience brought by the forum can actually be brought to both the publishing client and the adventurer.
Just like the Holy City, a few years ago, there was only one Adventurer's Guild Hall in the city area of Tower I. The building was quite majestic and luxurious, and it was no less impressive than the mansions of nobles. In Estali, everyone who wanted to
The person who issues the commission and accepts the task must go to the guild hall in City I in person, no matter where he lives.
Today, the hall is still luxurious, but the number of people is much smaller. More people go to the tavern near their respective activities, with the mountain-shaped sign of the Adventurer's Guild, or the Sword and Shield sign of the Mercenary Guild, to issue commissions or undertake tasks.
.
For users, the layout of the two major guilds is much more convenient. But for the guilds, it is not without its shortcomings. The most serious one is the lack of strength to suppress the situation.
In the past, a stronghold was a branch, and the strength and reputation of the branch president were enough in most cases to arbitrate various disputes or suppress various violence. But now a small reception office may only have one or two employees, or even just a few
Literate young people. If everything goes well, there will be no problem; if a dispute occurs, most of them can only stare blankly and be unable to deal with it.
The place Lin visited was a tavern under the name of the Adventurer's Guild. It was located on the outskirts of District VI of the Holy City of Estari. The only employees inside were a young female clerk from the guild, and
A fat chef who runs a tavern. The latter doesn't have any hidden fighting ability. He can chop a dragon with a kitchen knife. He is just an ordinary person.
In the past, the client had to submit the reward content when the guild released the task. Can it be money? It could be other valuable things.
The remuneration value will be evaluated by the guild. If it is too high or too low, revision suggestions will be given. However, considering the client's situation, such as being too stingy, or too poor, the guild will also accept it or increase it.
Note, or provide subsidies. Once it is determined, as long as it is not a national-level war budget, the entrusted remuneration must first be handed over to the guild for safekeeping.
When the person who undertakes the task completes the work, the guild will evaluate the work results, and then the reward will be handed over by the guild to the adventurer who undertook the task. If the results do not meet expectations or meet the originally set conditions and requirements, the guild will also deduct part of it, or even
It's full remuneration.
Originally, some small guest houses of the two major guilds also kept this money, but they were robbed several times due to lack of strength. Although backup forces were deployed every time to recover the space, the lack of strength of individual guest houses still did not change.
fact. So what is being implemented now is a compromise approach? The two parties that publish and undertake the task actually meet and complete the transaction as agreed.
But when people meet directly, friction is easy to occur. When Fen had disputes with others before, how many times did the other party get interested, and then was beaten to death; how many times did the other party open his mouth, and then was beaten to half to death; how many times did the other party open his mouth?
Is the other party just messing around and passing it off as a good thing? It was a waste of money and was beaten half to death.
If someone were to comment, it would be that the lich has been quite restrained, at least it has not caused any deaths. But who will listen to these words? The girl guarding the counter has come to someone in private to complain several times. There is nothing to do, as long as
While the reward was still hanging, someone took the time to handle it personally. After all, this matter was also his own business, and Fen was happy to have one less trouble.
Like this time, the group of warriors from out of town were clearly planning to cause trouble. They threw their broadswords onto the table and nailed them, which had already frightened the girl clerk of the guild. The adventurers who usually operate in the holy city, because of their numbers,
Not many, everyone knows the basics and would not do such a thing in the Adventurer's Guild, but those from outside are different.
The adventurer group will change its base area due to several reasons: some have committed crimes there and cannot survive there; some have no money to make there and cannot survive; others have easy money to make elsewhere and deliberately run there.
The bounty that Fen hung up was not small; although it required capturing the monster alive, the difficulty of catching the monster moth was not very high. As long as you were prepared and didn't run into a place where the monster moths gathered, it would be fine.
It's dangerous. But when you meet the adventurers who accept the commission, nine out of ten will have bad intentions, and at least half of them will take action.
Therefore, the saying "a big reward will lead to a brave man" does not work in the lost land. Because if you offer a big reward, you will only be regarded as a fat sheep...
Although he was helpless, he couldn't expect the trembling girl hiding behind him to reason with the bear-like strong man opposite. Lin had no choice but to step forward and said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to pay. I just follow the instructions.
For the commission I issued, these magic moths are of the type I already have, so I can’t get the highest reward amount.”
"What's the highest and the lowest? I understand mathematics. Anyway, I calculated these things and they are worth M gil (1000 gold). I don't care if you have them or not. When I accepted the commission, there was no such mess.
condition."
You dare to explain mathematics in front of me! This person is no longer able to complain. However, the situation the other party mentioned is indeed a flaw in this commission. Because the content of the commission will change, do you want to retroactively do so?
There is no clear regulation on this point. Besides, even if the old terms are accepted, how can we prove that when the other party took over the task, the entrusted terms were the old terms?
However, it may be that someone's frown and troubled expression irritated the other person. The bear-like warrior easily picked up the broad sword nailed to the table, and when he was about to advance further, a chuckle disturbed everyone.
intention.
The untimely laughter gave a pause to the momentum that had just been raised, and then the anger of this group of soldiers increased. They all looked at the source of the laughter, and some even raised their weapons, preparing to intimidate and teach each other. But this
As soon as they turned their heads, everyone froze.
It was a handsome aristocratic boy who looked to be in his teens. He was sitting, so it was impossible to tell whether he was tall or not. But looking at his body shape, he could tell that he was a thin figure. His clothes were quite tasteful, elegant but not gorgeous, which was different.
For some small nobles who don't have enough accumulation, they feel like they can't wait to wear all their wealth on their bodies.
But his sitting posture is not elegant at all, and can even be called rude. But these two images that should be mutually exclusive are perfectly integrated into one person. He bends one leg and steps on the chair, and the other
Straighten one leg, lean your upper body back slightly, and watch everything happening in the tavern with a smile full of confidence.
For a moment, someone thought that he had seen an artistic photo taken by an Italian-style fashionable male model. Moreover, it was the kind of 'failure' where the person was more eye-catching than the clothes. The youthful and frivolous arrogance was just right, along with the
As a male, it is difficult for me to feel disgusted.
He has very rare black hair that reaches his shoulders and is slightly curly. He has fair and rosy skin, bright red lips, and a pair of soul-stirring eyes. Regardless of men or women, everyone will feel moved by such a wonderful person.
Praise.
...that's how it should be.
But when the few soldiers making trouble saw this one, they showed expressions of horror and fear, and even started to tremble.
After being silent for a while, the young man's hair slowly turned from black to red. He smiled sweetly and said, "Why do you have to put on such an ugly expression? Just smile. Come on, smile."
"
A group of grown men tried hard to put on an ugly smile, which made the young man frown, and said, "Your smile is really ugly. Do you know how to make a painful expression? I can teach you this, and I guarantee it will be lifelike."
After saying that, he put down his legs that were bent on the chair and stood up simply.
With just such a move, the originally menacing warriors rolled and crawled out of the Adventurer's Guild's reception area.
The young man did not catch up, he just turned his attention to the other person involved. Someone who was worrying about the pile of dead insects left behind, when he noticed the young man's sight, he cupped his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency.
Help, it saves me some trouble."
"Oh, why do you think I'm helping you?" The voice was equally sweet, but the words contained a hint of contempt.
Regarding this attitude, Lin said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Help does not necessarily have a clear purpose before it can be called help. I have benefited from your behavior, so I owe you a favor. It doesn't matter whether you want to ask for this favor or not."
No matter what you want, I will always remember it."
"Uh-huh." The young man responded, staring at someone for a long time.
Just standing in the classroom, Lin, who had long been accustomed to the sight, looked at the green moth that was no longer restrained on the table. He watched it flap its wings a few times, but it still couldn't fly. He sighed, used the puncture technique, and pointed a finger.
Penetrating into his field of vision, the last trace of life fire in the Green Demon Moth's body ended its life. At the same time, he used the Corpse Purification Technique to turn all the moth corpses into ashes.
This is a system of necromancy magic learned from Zifen. Its purpose is to prevent other necromancers from using the corpses left behind by them. It means that if they are all turned into ashes, where are the corpses that can be brought back to death? Of course, this magic will only be used against Dead things work.
"Oh, I thought you would be merciful and cure the insect and release it," the young man said.
"Not killing is compassion, killing is compassion. Pretending to cure a demonic insect and then letting it return to nature, who are you showing off to with such pretentiousness?"
The bunch of hair on his forehead turned from red to brown. The young man smiled and said, "Yeah, who are you showing it to?" After that, he picked up the sword without a scabbard that was leaning on the side and left. Only leaving Someone looked puzzled.
