9 Chapter 9 - The Guild

The sun pierced through the windows of the window in the inn and it woke us up.

"That's bright. Rize are you up?"

"Yep. I'm up. Should we go to the armorer's and the weapon shop?"

"Yeah. Let's go now. Then we'll register if there are any guilds here."

We walked to the armorer's shop and entered inside.

"Is it done?"

"Welcome Zieglind and Rize! Its done. Go to the backroom to check it out."

We three went to the backroom and found the two sets of armor placed on the table.

"Is this it?"

"Yes this is the armor you asked for. This one's for missy and this one's for you."

When I put on the armor I got an armor set bonus. +50 strength and +20 speed.

The armor is black and it isn't too heavy nor too light. This had pointy scales on the shoulders and the knees. It doesn't restrict me too much on movement. I almost can't feel that I have the armor on. My name was engraved in the right shoulder. I think this can nullify goblin attacks but I don't know about any monsters yet since all I've been killing were goblins.

"Nice work old man."

"Hehe, thanks."

Rize was in the corner taking in the beauty of her armor. It was a red... No a rose pink armor. Made for women for all the girly designs it had. Her name was engraved on her left shoulder.

"Rize do you like it?"

"This is beautiful! Thanks Zieg!"

"What bonus stats you have?"

"It says I got +50 speed and +20 strength."

So its basically mine but the stats are swapped.

"That's great. Thanks old man for all of this. What's your name by the way? I might come to you again for some armor."

"People call me Ruf."

"Thanks Ruf."

Me and Rize left the armor shop and went to the weapon shop.

"Sup old man. How's the bow and greatsword doing?"

"Its done. Take a look at this ye?"

The greatsword had my engravings on it and it was massive. It was a curved greatsword. And it also gave me bonus stats. +200 Strength.

"Damn. This is insane. Thanks for this."

"That's not all ye. This is for missy."

He handed over to Rize a bow. It had been enhanced with a scope. Her name was engraved on the front of the bow.

"Try pulling it Rize."

Rize pulled it with her strength and it seems she has no worries about pulling an 80 pound bow.

"Is it difficult to pull?"

"No not really. Its a bit heavier than my previous bow. This one I can manage."

It seems there's no problems.

"I'll be coming back tomorrow for the remaining weapons. By the way what's your name and how did you know our names?"

"I'm Ruz. Ruf's brother. He comes asking for me for some materials and told me about ye two."

"So that's why. Thanks for the help."

We went out the store and I looked for some guild if there are any here.

And for some while we finally found one. Its on the middle of the town. We went in and people were looking at us. Maybe its because of our armor and weapons.

"Hello Sir and Madam, are you taking a quest?"

"No. We're here to register."

"Please fill up this form and the cost for making an account is one gold."

Me and Rize filled up the forms. Its just our names and such. And I handed the one gold to the guild.

"Here's your badge."

The badge was a bronze plate. I'm guessing there are tiers too for the rankings.

"Can we get any quests right now? How about..."

I looked around some quests and this one got me interested. 50 Gold for killling a giant serpent.

"I'll take this quest."

"I'm sorry sir but that's for gold plated adventurers only."

"Are there restrictions?"

"Well no... But its recommended for you to stick with bronze plated quests first."

I need to level up and gain influence fast. So I'll take quest two tiers from my rankings every time.

"Sorry but me and Rize will take that quest."

"Well... Okay... You'll need the serpent's head for proof of death."

"Where's this located?"

"Southwest of Itz. Its in the Serpent's Swamp."

"We'll be going now."

We got a lot of angry stares from the adventurers inside. Maybe its because they think we're underestimating this guild.

We went to the Serpent's Swamp.

"Zieg... Is this really necessary? You know we should've taken an easier quest you know?" She was trembling and holding my armor.

"Have you seen this Serpent before?"

"Yes. This serpent invaded before on our forest."

"Can you tell me anything about it?"

"It exhales poison and since the serpent is in the swamp maybe its swamp is poisoned too."

"Thanks for the information Rize." I patted her head. "Don't worry. This'll be an easy quest."

Actually its not. I need her to calm down since she'll be my main damage attacker. I don't have any antidotes for this serpent.

After walking for a while we finally found the serpent.

It was a towering snake about 5 meters tall. Has thick scales and this serpent has teeths so long and sharp. His intimidating appearance scared the hell out of me.

"Holy shi-"
