Adventurers Guild, this is the official name of the guild that Wood mentioned.

The guild's service location is right after the port, and the end of the street in front is very conspicuous and can be seen as soon as it comes out. The only thing that makes people wonder is that the huge building has several doors. There are so many entrances but there is not even a sign. If it is a rookie who doesn't know anything, it will probably be a headache.

Fortunately, with Wood's guidance, Ethan knew that he wanted to enter through the door on the far left, which was a place to entertain the novices who had just arrived here. The application for membership, arrangement of accommodation for newcomers, etc. were all handled there.

Wood and the others were going to the lobby where veterans went most often to deal with some things. Their ships sank and many crew members died. They had to report all of them, and at the same time they were withdrawn from the stored property and repurchase new ships, etc.

Watching Wood and Rodney gradually disappear in the increasingly dense crowd, Ethan always felt that Rodney seemed to be peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and that kind of vision was definitely not kind.

"Is it because of the magic stone?"

Magic Stone is the most magical existence in this ocean and the most difficult material to obtain. As long as you find a piece of it, you can get a lot of things you need, and it is the real hard currency in this world.

"The magic stone with fire attribute... I don't know what it can do specifically?"

The greatest value of magic stones is not only circulating, but also has magical effects. For example, the best used for adventurers is a water-based water purification magic stone. As long as there is such a small water purification magic stone and placed in a wooden barrel that stores clear water, no matter whether it is sea water or polluted dirty water, it will be purified by the magic stone into the clearest and cleanest water.

"It's a pity that this is not a water-attributed water-purifying magic stone... I wonder what the fire-attributed magic stone has?"

He put away the magic stone and tightened his backpack tightly, which contained all his important items. The most important one was a pile of books given to him by Gu Yi.

He didn't dare to leave these things in his uncovered boat, and who knew if they would be stolen by someone.

As he quickly entered the newcomer reception hall of the Adventurers Guild, Ethan found that compared to the hall where people kept coming in and out, it was much deserted. After looking around, he was the only one.

There was only a young man standing at the counter at the front door. He was waving to himself enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Adventurers Guild. Are you going to join the gang?"

"Ah! Yes!"

Ethan nodded and came to the front of the counter.

"Does it require a membership fee or something to pay for this?"

He had forgotten this question before. He had lived in this world for so long and hadn't seen anything like coins. He had become accustomed to the days of bartering. He didn't remember that any guild or something seemed to have to charge.

"It's not necessary, but in the future, you will withdraw some of the supplies when you store materials in the guild, customize and repair ships and conduct entrusted transactions."

Ethan nodded, and it turned out that the charge was charged only when using the service, which was very suitable for him, a poor and innocent rookie.

"In fact, even if you don't need to pay any items to join the club, there are fewer and fewer newcomers now." The young man opposite didn't know if he hadn't seen anyone for too long. It was rare to see Ethan and talked nonstop: "You are the first person to come to join the club in the past six months."

"Ah?" Although Ethan could see that it was a little deserted here, he didn't expect that no one had been to join the club for half a year. Is it inappropriate for him to join the club?

The clerk opposite saw Ethan's idea at once and immediately spoke up: "In fact, there are many benefits to joining the guild. We can provide better ships and recruit more experienced sailors. There are still many adventurers in the guild who have lost ships and are on the verge of bankruptcy. Although they are not in a good situation, they are experienced. At the same time, storing and consigning supplies can also save adventurers a lot of time."

"Anyway, we will help adventurers solve all their worries, just focus on exploring the sea to collect supplies."

"What's more, every time the adventurer comes back from the sea, even if there is no gain, we will provide adventurers with three days of free accommodation and food, so that the adventurers can get the most rest, and then devote themselves to the new round of adventure with a fuller attitude..."

Barabala said a lot, and Ethan felt that the guild was indeed quite conscientious, and it seemed that nothing was wrong with joining him.

"So why no newcomers joined in half a year?"

The clerk sighed helplessly: "Now there are fewer and fewer newcomers who can successfully reach Stat Island from 'hometown', most of them are conservative and stubborn. They are unwilling to give up a little of the things to the guild, thinking that the guild is taking advantage of them."

He shrugged his shoulders, and the contempt expression on the clerk's face was not hidden at all: "In my opinion, those people just want to live a life. Every time they go to sea to find supplies, they rely on those things to exchange for their needs for their lives. They can spend a day until there is not much left before going to sea again."

"This is pretty good. I know to keep some for going to sea. There are still some who will never go to sea until they can't survive. Because there is no extra supplies in my hand, I can only prepare some clear water when going to sea... Nine out of ten people did not come back."

Ethan understood that those who were unwilling to join the guild were about the same as those who had left before living on the island. They were not young. After coming here, they found that their lives seemed to be worse and they had no motivation all of a sudden. When they came to Stat Island, they had already saved their lives, so living for one more day would be a profit... If they couldn't survive, it was just a loss of something that they should have lost long ago.

"So how did they trade what they found for food or something?"

"Oh, you go out from here and turn right and walk along the gravel road. You won't be able to see a market. It's the largest market on this island; in fact, even adventurers who join the guild will go there to trade. Only those who cannot trade for a short period of time will be sent to the guild for storage or ask the guild to sell it on their behalf."

"Uh...so that's how it is."

"So, next I need to fill in some basic information for you."

Ethan nodded. He had decided to join the guild. Not to mention anything else, the guild could provide a lot of information to make him understand the world better.

"Name?"

"Ethan."

"age?"

"Seventeen."

"gender?"

"……male……"

"height?"

"This... has not been measured..."

The clerk is extremely skilled in his business, and he can complete the measurement and filling in one go.

"The name of the ship?"

"Uh...this..." Ethan didn't name his ship. He was stunned for a long time when he heard this question. Finally, he pinched his forehead and said something casually: "Goddess of Dawn."

"Oh~ What a good name."

After filling in the basic information, the clerk picked up a white magic stone from the side, but didn't see him doing anything. A blue light emitted from the magic stone to scan Ethan's face.

Then he used the magic stone to scan the paper that filled out Ethan's basic information on his hand, and then the paper that was full of basic information slowly disappeared.

Then I raised my hand and slapped the magic stone hard on the table. I heard a crisp sound of "splash". When I took my hand away, the white magic stone had turned into a white strip that was wide as a finger.

All this happened too quickly. When Ethan reacted, he could only shout in his heart, "Can the magic stone still work like this?"

Then he saw the clerk signaling Ethan to stretch out his hand, then slapped the white strip on his wrist, and with another snap, the white strip was tightly wrapped around Ethan's wrist, looking like an ordinary wristband.

"This will be the proof of your guild member in the future." He briefly introduced the simple usage of this thing.

The white wristband can be removed at will, and it is not necessary to be worn on the wrist because it has a very strong elasticity and can also be worn on the neck, arms or legs.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the impact of the loss, because the guild has the information about Ethan's preparation and the basic identity certificate is lost, so he only needs to go to the lobby to re-issue one.

"By the way, if you don't like white, we can also change the color for you, but that will require additional compensation."

“What does it cost to change the color?”

"The magic stone of the corresponding color."

“…”

Ethan remembered that his fire-attribute magic stone was red, but even if this thing is not as effective as the water-attribute magic stone, it will not be much worse. As a result, it can only be used to change the color of the hand in the guild?

"Hungry... It seems that I can't afford this service for the time being."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, the magic stone is not as rare as you think." After winning over the first newcomer in half a year, the clerk was in a very good mood and pulled Ethan to say a lot more: "In fact, the probability of magic stones on each floating island is more than 80%, but most people have not found it."

"real?"

"Really, this is not a secret, but this is not recorded in the basic information given by the guild to introduce the Sea of ​​Calmness, because this is a kind of screening..."

"filter?"

"Well, filter out adventurers with more potential."

Ethan suddenly felt like he had discovered a big secret himself.

“What do you let them do after picking more potential adventurers?”

"What to do?" The clerk noticed Ethan's thoughts and shook his head gently: "It's not what you think... the choice of potential adventurers is to let them grow up as soon as possible, and then let them rush through the storm sea earlier and look for the endless land."

This is the legend that he has heard countless times: the vast land that can allow millions of people to live and work in peace is at the end of the sea. As long as he can find it, he can live happily.
