9 Guild Consultation!

Chapter 9

Adventurers' Street,

Just like the name says, this is an area for adventurers.

It covers a series of industries with adventurers as the primary target, such as pharmacies, grocery stores, equipment shops, treatment homes, taverns, etc.

Countless adventurers gather here every day for supplies.

As for the guild headquarters next to the Street, Pantheon stood there solemnly, built with white pillars.

The surface of the building was imprinted with intricate symbols, and many adventurers were coming in and out of the entrance.

The time is almost noon, so many adventurers who have finished their morning expedition entered the guild with smiles, discussing with companions what to have for lunch later.

After stopping for a moment to appreciate the view of the building, Sirius retracted his gaze and entered the spacious hall of the guild headquarters with Artemis, Rethusa, and Lante.

The first thing that catches his attention is a vast space with counters for adventurers to talk with their advisors and an exchange area. There is also a huge commission board not far away.

There are also small meeting boxes where adventurers can talk one-on-one with their advisors without anyone else hearing them. Aside from that, there is a library area.

However, there were not many adventurers in the reception area. Many of them were lining in front of the exchange area to trade their magic stones for Valis, the official currency of Orario.

The exchange area is the primary source of income for many adventurers.

Here, they can trade all their gains from entering the dungeon into Valis for consumption.

Not only the guild headquarters, but there is also another exchange area set up in the tower of babel, located directly above the dungeon.

Most of the adventures present here didn't want to squeeze in the line bearing the heat in the exchange area there, so they came to the guild.

But many others seem to have similar ideas, so this creates the scene where the front desk is empty.

After all, the front desk is a reception area for people to ask questions and accept a commission. They're not responsible for trade.

After the four entered the guildhall, they did not gather together. But acted separately because their goals were different from each other.

Artemis was going to meet the main god and founder of the guild, Ouranos. Sirius heard Rethusa saying that this happens every time they visit the guild.

It is said that this is an exchange of information between the two deities, but who knows what happens inside.

This time, the task of submitting the commission completion by Artemis Familia fell to Rethusa.

The reliable captain of the Familia went to find a professional to help with her procedures.

And Sirius came to the reception area to inquire about some Familia recruitment. And, Lante also followed him from behind curiously.

The development of a Familia does not necessarily depend on the god/goddess in charge.

For things like recruitment, many deities will communicate directly with the internal staff of the guild and ask them to help post some notice.

For example, "XXX Familia is recently established, and welcome new members!" or "XXX Familia lacks YYY supporters and logisticians and is now recruiting interested people!" etc.

Generally speaking, the former notice belongs to a novice Familia that is just starting or a relatively weak one if already established.

The latter kind of notice is a form of conscription of a powerful familia.

One can guess the strength of a Familia from just the notice.

Because of a powerful familia, there is no need to increase the number of fighters. So, they will focus on other aspects, such as logistics.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" A half-elf clerk politely asked him. She was the same race as the little tail behind him but had different hair colors.

The guild clerk had a slim body, pointy ears, shoulder-length brown hair, and emerald-colored eyes. She was also wearing round-rimmed glasses.

It is worth mentioning that almost all guild staff at the counter are young ladies. In addition to humans, there are also many demi-humans such as elves and animal ears.

The reason behind this is intriguing.

It can be said that the guild knows how to grasp an adventurer's wallet very well.

Although it was the first time he saw the clerk in front of him, Sirius somehow felt she was a bit familiar.

There was only one half-elf employee in the guild that he could think of.

However, out of politeness, Sirius didn't show it on his face but nodded in response to the other party's inquiry.

"Well, Miss clerk, I'm here to inquire about some familia."

"Familia matters, huh?" When the half-elf lady heard his reply, she couldn't help but stare at the girl behind Sirius.

Her eyes seemed to ask, "Are you serious?"

To be honest, the current outfits of the two are very deceptive.

Lante, who was wearing a light adventurer's suit with a weapon on her body, and Sirius, who was carrying a big backpack with no weapon on his body, looked like her supporter.

In the beginning, she thought that these two were of the same familia, the kind of people who were here to inquire about some commission.

Not it looks like her guess is not correct...

Noticing her subtle meaning, Sirius glanced at Lante behind him and understood her misunderstanding.

Therefore, he shook his head and politely explained to her, "My relationship with this girl is not what you think. For various reasons, I have yet to join a familia. Therefore, I'm here for some consultation."

The main reason Sirius is here is to use the guild's network to join a suitable familia. It's just like using his family contacts to join the right company in his previous life.

Because if you go straight to the door of a familia, he can be thrown out if he's unlucky.

After all, the early stage is the most challenging period for development, and many things have to be considered.

And this is reality. It is better to have a plan for the future than not.

After hearing what he said, Lante nodded regretfully.

"Yes, our Familia has a rule that doesn't allow men to join. Otherwise, Sirius will definitely be the head of our familia."

At first glance, there seems to be no problem with this statement. But after getting along with Lante for so many days, Sirius always felt that this girl implied something.

She seems to be hinting at something...

"I understand! So, it's a special situation, huh? Then please wait a moment. I remember many Familia has issued recruitment notices to the guild. I will help you take a look after them."

The half-elf lady showed her understanding and began rummaging through a pile of papers after asking them to wait.

After a few minutes of waiting, the half-elf lady turned around with dozes of documents in her hand.

"Well, let me see, what you think of 'Dian Cecht Familia'?"

[Dian Cecht Familia] is a Familia famous in Orario for its healing. They operate a pharmacy in a white building that includes an area where they sell potions and related items, rooms to treat patients, and business rooms to negotiate deals.

However, after hearing this, Sirius shook his head, "Well, I am more included to exploration type Familia."

"Ok, I understand..."

After hearing this, Miss half-elf pulled out several pieces of documents and set them aside.

Exploration type Familia is the one with the primary purpose of attacking the dungeon. Simply put, they are fighting Familia.

The ones she put aside were some Familia that did not meet his standard.

"Then how about 'Soma Familia'? It is an exploration and business type Familia, and somehow they seem to be very keen on attacking dungeons for some reason. Maybe it fits your idea?"

"..."

Sirius didn't know whether the half-elf lady in front of him wanted to push him deep into the abyss. Others may not know, but as a transmigrator, how could he not know the sinister side of this familia.

He didn't want to waste his with this sort of trash familia.

He looked at the clerk's innocent and clear eyes and fell silent.

Speaking of which, judging by the age of Lante, he should be in the period two years before the main storyline begins. During this time, the guild seemed unaware of the atrocities happening in 'Soma Familia'...

They are keen on raiding dungeons?

Not at all; All they want is money to buy the divine wine from their main god. They are a bunch of drug/alcohol addicts doing all sorts of evils for money. Entering this Familia means jumping into a fire pit!

"Ahem, not this one! I don't have any interest in wine-making Familia."
