[5] Arrival at the Guild!

Soon, under Riveria's guidance, the two arrived at the guild.

Leaving the Loki Familia's residence, the 'Twilight Manor,' they soon entered the northwest street of Orario, also known as the 'Adventurer's Street'.

Orario itself was built near the dungeon.

Most of the people living here were adventurers from the familia. Where there are people, there is a market, and this northwest street was such a place.

After entering this street, a rich blend of noise and hustle greeted them.

On both sides of the street were various vendors selling weapons, equipment, food, fruits, and even information exchange—private transactions for hiring and trading.

Although the guild was the official organization responsible for accepting and issuing missions, it also charged fees for both posting and accepting tasks. While most people could afford it, for weaker adventurers, personal tasks like these tended to be more budget-friendly than guild missions.

"Hey, hey. Isn't that the Nine Hell from the Loki Familia?"

"Really, I've never seen the person behind her. Could it be a newcomer to the Loki Familia?"

"Possibly. After all, Sword Princess and the others have already reached level 5. It's time to develop new talents!"

"I envy them. With the Loki Familia's help, anyone can become strong!"

"Cut it out. With your abilities, no matter how many resources you have, you'll still be the same!"

...

With Riveria's arrival, the original lively atmosphere of the street instantly diminished by three points.

All the vendors and passing adventurers on both sides of the street, without exception, had their eyes fixed on August and Riveria, observing intensely.

In Orario, beings of Riveria's caliber were undoubtedly the center of attention.

As for August, basking in Riveria's radiance, he also enjoyed the admiring, jealous, hateful, and awe-filled looks.

Soon, August and Riveria passed through the northwest street.

August also let out a sigh of relief, finally releasing the tension in his chest.

Regardless, August, originally a homebody in the modern world, felt uneasy being scrutinized by so many people. For a homebody, it was an uncomfortable experience.

"How does it feel?"

Suddenly, Riveria spoke to August.

"What feeling?"

"The feeling of being observed by everyone!"

"Well, it feels a bit uncomfortable, but overall, it's not bad!"

"To be under the spotlight, you need strength. You don't have it yet. Although you have potential, until that potential turns into strength, you need to understand yourself!"

"I understand!"

August nodded. He knew that Riveria was giving him guidance.

From the attitudes of Loki and others just now, it was clear that August would undoubtedly be a key talent cultivated by the familia.

However, the more talented one was, the more likely they were to become arrogant.

In Orario, geniuses and monsters were never in short supply, but those occupying the top were rare.

Because there were too many geniuses who died in the dungeon.

After all, he was brought back to the familia by her, and he possessed such a magical skill. Therefore, she did not want August to die prematurely.

August naturally understood these principles. After all, he had read countless novels.

Those who could ride the waves from start to finish, apart from the protagonist, there was absolutely no second one.

Although August crossed over, he was clear about his positioning. He did have a cheat system, but if he really acted recklessly, he would undoubtedly die.

Having the Loki Familia as a backer, he still needed to restrain himself.

Moreover, August was confident. As long as he was given some time to grow, he would definitely stand at the top in the future.

Before that, he needed to behave himself.

After leaving the northwest street, in just a few minutes, a huge and magnificent white building appeared in front of them.

The guild, the Adventurer Management Guild, was the administrative organization connecting Orario and the dungeon.

Everything here was closely related to adventurers, the dungeon, and even Orario. Simply put, this was the central place of Orario.

Looking at the guild building in front of him, August couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Here was bustling with people, as all adventurers would come to this place.

Whether it was exchanging magic stones, posting or accepting missions, or seeking information, all of it was done here.

Especially for the exchange of magic stones, the guild was the only place in Orario where adventurers could exchange them for Valis.

Like the drop items from monsters, most adventurers would bring them back to sell, or they would sell them. Although most people posted and accepted tasks here, some people also privately and even in the black market.

Only magic stones, the core of the guild's establishment, all adventurers could only exchange them for Valis here.

Following behind Riveria, they passed through the crowd and entered the guild hall. The first thing that caught their eyes was a huge mission board.

Various tasks were hung on it, ranging from large-scale tasks carried out by familias to small tasks like collecting information and finding people.

There were also some special tasks related to the dungeon, such as the refresh time of the 'floor master,' and which floors were having a 'monster feast'.

August was curious about this, but Riveria didn't even glance at it.

Arriving at the reception desk for handling commissions, almost every window here had beautiful ladies, and there were hardly any males.

"Hello, is there anything you would like to handle?"

The receptionist was an elf lady with short tea-colored hair and green eyes.

Looking at her pointy ears, August's eyes began to shine slightly.

An elf. This was an elf girl from another world, the elf girl that countless otakus dreamt of.

As a qualified otaku, what August wanted most was elf girls and monster girls.

"Long time no see, Eina!"

"Hmm? Lady Riveria? What brings you here?"

"I'm here to accompany my new familia member to register information!"

"Ah? Lady Riveria, are you personally accompanying him?"

Eina Tulle was shocked and then looked at August's eyes with a slight change. Being treated with such importance, he must be a rising star from the Loki Familia.

"Hello, my name is Augustus Divus Pracentum, you can call me August. Nice to meet you!"

"Hello, I'm Eina Tulle!"

Eina Tulle subconsciously greeted, but also noticed the fiery gaze in August's eyes.
