Rhodes arrived at the destination of his trip, the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.
Different from the Thieves Guild that Rhodes had visited before, the Free Trade Guild has a very large internal area. Except for a few main buildings used to handle various affairs, the rest of the locations are divided into business group residences.
Of course, not all business groups can obtain a residence within the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. Unless they have made a significant contribution to the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, if a business group wants to obtain a residence, in addition to gold coins, it also depends on the rank strength of the members.<

As soon as Rhodes entered the lobby of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, the maid waiting on the side greeted him and asked Rhodes his intentions.
Rhodes said: "I want to go to the City of Screams, and I hope to go with the business group."
After listening, the maid asked: "Dear professional, do you have the identity certification of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce?"
Rhodes understood the meaning of the maid. With the identity authentication of the Chamber of Commerce, he can join the merchant group and become the temporary guard of the merchant group. When encountering a situation that requires fighting, the guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the merchant group.
After arriving at the destination, the merchant group will pay the escort a sum of money, but unless it is the permanent escort of the merchant group, the temporary escort usually does not receive much compensation.
For a person's identity authentication, the Freelance Chamber of Commerce has a special set of rating criteria. As the number of escort missions increases, coupled with the success rate of the escort, the rating will become higher and higher, from F level to S level. Rating
The higher it is, the easier it will be to be accepted by the business group, and the rewards that the business group will pay will also increase.
Rhodes recalled that in his previous life, players all aimed for an S-level evaluation of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, but few could actually reach S-level. To reach S-level, in addition to spending a lot of time escorting the chamber of commerce, you also need to
Certain opportunities, as well as its own strong strength.
Rhodes replied to the maid: "No, I just want to go as a passenger."
Passengers are different from guards. Guards need identity authentication to confirm their own strength and past guard performance. Experienced business leaders often only need to look at the identity authentication to confirm whether the guard is worth hiring. If the guard fails in the mission, he will also
Receive certain penalties from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.
Passengers do not need identity authentication. Passengers only need to pay gold coins, and the business group can take them to their destination. When encountering a battle, passengers do not need to fight at all.
Passengers are just travelers led by business groups to another city. Therefore, the Freelance Chamber of Commerce will not charge any commission for business groups bringing tourists, and it also has no management. It depends entirely on the business groups and tourists themselves to negotiate.<

Rhodes had his own considerations in choosing to become a traveler and follow the caravan to Diya, rather than go on the road alone after obtaining the map.
Just like looking at the map drawn by Eliot earlier, even if he knew the current location of the city, Rhodes could not move directly in one direction. Instead, he found a river as a reference and compared it with the map.
Found this town.
Even with a detailed map, without the guidance of pathfinding, it is easy to get lost in a dense forest with repetitive scenery.
What's more, you may encounter other situations along the way. Whether it's marauders on the road, hidden thieves, or the stations of various creatures, if you want to avoid these, in addition to pathfinding, high-level
Reconnaissance skills are also essential.
Therefore, choosing to go with a business group to the target, although it will take longer, is safer than traveling alone.
As a traveler, Rhodes only needs to wait in the carriage provided by the business group. Rhodes can also use this time on the road to meditate several times. The only drawback is that the gold coins required as a traveler are slightly more expensive. After hearing this, the maid led Rhodes to the side hall. After some inquiries, the maid told Rhodes the situation:
"Dear professionals, not long ago, a large business group went to the City of Screams and transported a large amount of goods to the City of Screams. Since the urgently needed goods have been replenished, not many business groups are willing to go to the City of Screams again.
Currently, there is only one business group in the area that chooses the City of Lament."
After hearing this, Rhodes seemed to have thought of something. If a large business group wants to go to a certain place, in order to ensure that the road is safe, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Under such a huge momentum, the movements of large business groups cannot be concealed at all.
The thieves guild in the city.
Without much hesitation, Rhodes said to the maid: "Take me to the headquarters of this business group."
Carrying passengers will bring various variables to the business group. Moreover, this approach is not necessarily safe for the tourists themselves.
Whether it is business groups extorting tourists on the road, or killing lone travelers in the wilderness to obtain property, or tourists colluding with thieves to kill business groups in the dead of night, it is a common occurrence. The Freelance Chamber of Commerce does not care about this.
, it all depends on the choice of business groups and tourists.
Therefore, both business groups and tourists need to inspect each other before confirming. This is also the reason why tourists need to pay high fees if they want to join a business group.
After listening to Rhodes' request, the maid led the way from the front and took Rhodes to the merchant group's headquarters in the rear.
The maid took Rhodes to the rear station and walked towards the depths. At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. When Rhodes first entered the city, he could still see the surrounding scenery clearly with the sky.
Sometimes I can only see by the candlelight on the roadside.
On the way, Rhodes asked the maid about the business group and got some information.
The name of this business group is Yinzhiyin Business Group. There are six to eight core members of the business group, including managers of the business group, decision-makers, and professionals trained by the business group. The rest are responsible
To transport goods and hire guards, the total number of members is about twenty.
The information provided by the maid seems to be extremely rich, telling Rhodes the situation of the entire Silver Seal Merchant Group, but in fact, these are the most basic information, as long as Rhodes enters the station and observes a little, he can see it
When it comes out, there is no key information in it.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the headquarters of the Silver Seal Merchant Group, Rhodes took out a gold coin from his space ring and called to the maid in front.
"Tell me the really useful information." Looking into the maid's eyes, Rhodes said.
The maid took the gold coin and said with a smile:
"The leader of the Silver Seal Merchant Group is named Youser. He is a senior warrior and his strength is close to high-level. The other core professionals also have senior strength. What is particularly important to note is that there is a mage in the team who is very powerful.
