014 Quick Pull Out_1

Lin Ge had thought that paying the fee would be enough to register, but there was also a trial mission, which involved exploring a spider's cave outside the city and retrieving a spider's poison fang as evidence.

If they couldn't complete it, the team he formed with Lanya would only be considered a temporary one, which would expire in five days, preventing them from continuing to receive information and missions from the Guild.

His interest in adventuring in this world wasn't great, mainly because he didn't want to put himself in danger.

However, seeing Lanya's hopeful expression, he couldn't bring himself to say much more.

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Lanya asked:

"Lin Ge, what kind of person do you want to become?"

"A top-notch cocktail master, which I already am, given a bit more time to gain experience, I'm confident I will rise to the next level."

Lin Ge was very confident in his natural gift for bartending, his interest had evolved into a complete fascination, which even led him to leave his home and live alone—all for the freedom to be a cocktail master.

"Not that, I mean which combat career do you want to choose in this world here."

"I don't want to fight."

Lanya wrinkled her delicate nose in consternation, "But if you had to choose one?"

Lin Ge laughed, "I still don't know what careers are available here."

Lanya then explained, "The more common ones include mages, warriors, thieves, knights, these are just four very broad categories, and each category has different branches, like mages have Black Magic, White Magic, Blood Magic, Necromancy, and various Elemental Magic, while warriors have Berserkers, Beast Warriors, Gladiators, Axemen, and so on.

These career names are just titles, mainly used to distinguish fighting styles and for ease of reference by people, just like ordinary career names like cook, hunter, tailor.

They don't have strict boundaries; for instance, a muscular warrior might also use magic, or a mage might pick up a greatsword, of course, most people don't have such talents, and even if they do, they tend to focus on what they're better at to achieve greater success."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ge answered, "Then I'd probably choose to be a mage."

Lanya agreed, "I also think you're suited to be a mage, the Mage's Guild is in the east city district, I'll take you there for a test, maybe you have a high talent.

I once heard someone say that a hero from another world caused the Crystal Ball used in the Mage's Guild test to explode because of his high talent."

Right then, Lin Ge's pockets produced the sound of a frog's croak, and he gave a wry smile, "Let's forget about it for today, it keeps croaking, it probably isn't suited for that kind of place."

Lanya imagined the scenario in the refined and elegant Mage's Guild being disrupted by frog croaks, thinking it wouldn't be appropriate, and they might even be kicked out.

"That's true, then let's go tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Yes, see you tomorrow."

Lanya left in high spirits, her steps light and joyful. With the Gold Coin given by Lin Ge, she was ready to feast at the magic restaurant she had long wanted to visit.

Lin Ge followed the way back at a leisurely pace, admiring the vibe of the exotic world's streets as he walked.

Passing by an alleyway, the sound of clashing armor echoed from the narrow lane, and a golden-red figure suddenly burst out from the alley.

He stared in surprise at the figure.

"Eh, Prince Lieyang?"

At this moment, Prince Lieyang had lost his previous pride and composure, his shiny golden armor stained with blood, panting heavily with fangs bared, looking utterly bedraggled.

Prince Lieyang saw Lin Ge too.

"Barman, save me!"

He rushed forward as if seeing a savior, grabbing onto Lin Ge's arm.

"Save you? What happened?"

"There's no time to explain, just take me to the Emerald Tavern."

Lin Ge glanced toward the alley; nothing seemed to emerge from its gloomy depths. Prince Lieyang had already started running toward the bar, with Lin Ge quickly following.

"Someone is trying to kill you?"

Prince Lieyang kept running as he answered, "That's right, it's crowded on this street, so it's hard for them to make a move, but once I get to a less crowded area, they will certainly strike again. All my bodyguards have been killed."

Lin Ge suddenly felt that catching up had been a mistake; if the hidden assassins discovered he was together with the Lizardman prince, he might get embroiled in the affair.

But it was too late for regrets.

They reached the door of the Emerald Bar, Lin Ge pulled out a key, and forcefully shoved it into the keyhole, a bit too strongly because of the running.

A faint cry suddenly came to his ears:

"Ah, that hurts~ Kid, can't you be gentler?"

Lin Ge paused, then turned to Prince Lieyang, "Are you in the mood to joke while being chased?"

Prince Lieyang shook his massive lizard head, pointing incredulously at the wooden door of the bar: "It wasn't me, it was the door."

"The door?" Lin Ge was taken aback, then laughed, "You're saying the door can talk? Stop kidding, that's impossible."

At that moment, the same shrill voice came from the door again.

"If you're going to open it, do it quickly, can you stop sticking it in there?"

Lin Ge's hand trembled, and with a click, the wooden door in front of him swung open on cue.

The door was really talking!

"Is it really you, the door that can speak?"

"Can you pull it out quickly? 'Haven't seen much,' country bumpkin."

Lin Ge, feeling awkward, withdrew the key, and he and Prince Lieyang entered the bar, then closed the door behind them.

At that point, the door spoke again: "As you can see, I'm not an ordinary door, but a wise magic door that can lead to different worlds."

Lin Ge gradually calmed down, a door to other worlds that could talk, so what?

Normal, everything was perfectly normal.

"Excuse me, Magic Door, how should I address you?"

"Name? I don't have a name. Have you ever seen a door that needs a name? But if you insist on calling me something, just refer to me as Menling. And don't call me 'sir,' I don't possess human gender."

"Alright, Menling."

After entering the bar, Prince Lieyang finally relaxed.

"This tavern is indeed extraordinary; those guys will never be able to follow us here."

Menling spoke out, "The ones trying to kill you are just outside."

Prince Lieyang grew anxious, "They can't come in, can they?"

"Don't worry, it's outside of business hours. Even the gods of this world couldn't hope to enter. They are wondering where you've gone by now."

Prince Lieyang completely eased his mind.

Lin Ge said, "Stay here for the night, then leave once they are gone."

After saying this, he opened the door and returned to his own world. It was the latter part of the night; the city was cloaked in darkness, illuminated only by the glow of street lamps on the empty streets.

Sounds of rattling armor came from behind, and he turned to see that Prince Lieyang had followed him out.

"Why did you follow me out?"

Prince Lieyang shrank his neck and said, "Alone in the shop, it felt eerily sinister, an ominous feeling. Let me hide in your world for a while."
