3 Chapter 3:Appleby (2/2)
Getting back up, I start running towards Appleby with my eyes open this time and only using Energy Detection and Essence Reading ever so often.
...
Getting near Appleby, I see the town's gate up ahead. Shomei:”Wait, do I need some kind of I.D to get in?”
System:Yes, but the User can bribe the guards with about 5 silver each to get in. The User can make an I.D card since you get in and visit a guild hall, there should be a small adventurer's and merchant's hall in the town.
Shomei:”I guess I'll go with becoming an adventurer cliche”
Reaching the town's gate.
Guard 1&2:”Wait, who goes there”
Shomei:”No one you need to worry about right” saying that, I reach into my pocket and ”grab” 10 sliver coins from my inventory.
Seeing my bribe, both guards take 5 sliver coins before signing me to go in.
Walking inside, I see that this town isn't the great. Most of the buildings are 2 stories and are made of wattle and daub that looks like they haven't been taken cared for or maintained in years.
Shomei:Hey System, can you should be where the adventurer's guild hall is?
System:Walk for 0.8 miles and after which, to your left will be the adventurer's guild hall.
...
Following the System's directions, I reach a large building made out of bricks, stone, glass, wattle and daub. Walking inside, I see mostly men drinking in armor mostly made out of leather with some having metal plating. Everyone who saw me stared at me or nudged their friend to look.
Ignoring them, I walk towards the girl at the counter, Shomei:”I would like to apply to become an adventurer”
On her chair, the staff lady stares at me for a couple of seconds before taking out the pipe she's smoking and pulling out some papers, ink, and quill under the counter. Staff Lady:”Read and fill out the application and then give it back to me”
Shomei:”Ok”
The staff lady look like she was in her fifties, had dirty blonde hair, a lot of makeup, and her uniform was messy and unclean.
Setting the papers, ink, and quill on an empty table, I filled out the adventurer's application. Most of it was easy; name, birthday, race, gender, and class while the most hardest question was probably birth location, but the System said I can leave it blank. Although I technically don't have a class, I put mage considering that I started with infinite mana and Creation Magic.
Filling out the second page of the paperwork, it was question relating to if I had any training before and if so where. At the end of the at the end of the page, it asked me if I wanted to start out as an E-rank adventurer and do quest or take a test to see how strong I am and what rank I should be. Not wanting to do boring quest, I check the box for the test.
...
Finishing the paperwork, walked back to the counter and gave the items back to staff lady, scratching my hand from the itchy quill.
After looking through the paperwork, Staff Lady:”Go down the hallway over there, at the end of it there'll be doors leading out to the back. There you will be tested on the training field by one of the guild's staff members. Good luck kid”
Going through the hallway, some of the adventurers follow behind me. Shomei:”I guess they want to see how I do”
