The Empyrean's Reign
Ch.11 - Adventurer Guild

"Niel! I'm back-Hm? Why is your face so pale?"

"... I just met a freak."

Enzo could only be silent when he heard Niel's words. The man with green netra decided not to discuss it further and tried to shift the focus of Niel who indeed he knew as a person who is not too good with new people.

"Erm, look at Niel! I've got my wand. Her name is Dawn, she's cool, isn't she? It turned out that Old Lavi had made the handle of his wand so he just made a gem out of the material I collected yesterday." Enzo boasted the stick he had on his handle to Niel with a wide smile.

The wand that Enzo exhibited did indeed Niel admitted to look very beautiful and have a strong magical impression. The wand is white with a gold-colored pattern that strongly defines Enzo as someone with a Light affinity. The jewel of the stick is made like the sun because it is circled by a pointy silver decoration like solar rays.

However, of course, Niel will not praise Enzo.

"Holding that stick makes you look like B*rbie-"

"Let's go to the Adventurers Guild now! The general said that the identity card was a must-have in Zendia."

Enzo immediately cut off Niel's words and pulled his hand so that Niel wouldn't babble any further.

"Stop pulling my hand..."

"Hm... I followed the road according to this map. Why doesn't this building look around, huh?"

"Maybe the map given is fake."

Enzo shook his head at the opinion Niel had just expressed, "There is no way General Aldios has given us a fake map. What if we just asked the guy?"

Enzo visits a large, long-moustached man wearing a white shirt with a pale green apron. The man with a bored face was sitting behind a booth full of red apples.

Niel and Enzo then walked towards the man. "Hello, uncle... Can you tell us where the Adventurers Guild is?" Enzo asked with a friendly smile.

The wide smile of the man who initially thought the two young men would buy his goods without a long time faded away instantly, "Ask someone else! I'm here to sell apples, not road signs!"

Niel's emotions grew even more searing as the man made a rough flutter of his hands as if Niel and Enzo were a pair of tramps.

"Do I have to burn this guy for information?" Niel whispered to Enzo disrespectfully after receiving the unpleasant behavior from the big man earlier.

Enzo shook his head quickly at Niel's terrible suggestion. Enzo let out a long sigh to vent his anger and finally tried to offer the man an apple seller,

"Sorry.. But we really have to go to the Adventurers Guild at the moment. How about this, I'll pay 25 Ammon if you're willing to tell me the way."

Enzo could have asked someone else. However, only men are the only ones who are not busy in the area where they are. Enzo also didn't want to waste any longer.

The older man's eyes shone when he saw Enzo easily taking money out of his pocket. He was finally willing to tell Enzo Dan Niel that if they wanted to go to the Adventurers Guild, they would have to walk a little straight from where they were now, then afterwards enter the only alley in the area. After entering the alley, they will be faced with a giant building made of wood.

Enzo did not forget to thank the elder and gave 25 Amons according to his promise. He and Niel then walked in the direction that the big man had told them.

"I hope the old man's sale doesn't sell. Are we animals until we get kicked out like that?"

Enzo smiled wryly at Niel's outpouring of heart and just continued walking without saying anything.

The bad feelings of these two young men finally turned into a sense of awe and excitement when they had been faced with the building of an extremely amazing Adventurer Guild.

The building had so many levels that their necks hurt because they wanted to see the highest level of the building. The building is made of dark-colored wood with a roof that seems to be enveloped by dark green moss. There are two eagle statues that stand upright in each corner of the roof of the building so that adds to the impression of adventure.

"Enzo.. Your neck will break if you stare at this building. " Niel warned Enzo. Enzo who heard Niel's words immediately came to his senses and lowered his neck.

Cracks!

"Agh! Shit!"

***

Niel opened the entrance of the Adventurers Guild building with little difficulty until the sound of the door creaking sounded. When it finally opened, the two of them were immediately stunned when they saw the architecture of the building they were walking in now.

"Woe... Too high!" Enzo chirps flabbergasted while massaging his still sore neck. Niel was also amazed although not as famous as Enzo. The eyes that normally looked bored now seemed to glow in curiosity.

The two of them walked to the reception desk after admiring the building and saw a blonde woman who looked like she was 20 years old.

"Good day, gentlemen. My name is Zelda. Welcome to the Adventurers Guild of Malchus City branch. Please mention your needs to me." The woman named Zelda said with a professional smile.

"Ah, yes. We want to sign up to be adventurers while making identity cards." Enzo nodded his head.

"The cost of each of its registrations is 50 Amon."

"It's..." Enzo handed the woman 100 Amons. Zelda then asked them to wait for a while and walked into a room that seemed to only be allowed to enter by employees.

After waiting for about two minutes, Zelda returned and was seen holding two pieces of paper. He walked over and handed the two pieces of paper to Enzo and Niel.

"You can fill your name, race, and city origin in this paper." Zelda instructed Enzo and Niel while handing the two glass pens that had been dipped into black ink. The two men received the paper and pen before starting to write.

"I'm done." Niel gave his paper to Zelda after she finished writing Malchus' name as her hometown.

"Me too!" Enzo also handed over the paper to Zelda with vigor.

Zelda received the two papers with both hands while bowing slightly. He then walked into a box with a thin hole that only paper could enter. Zelda then put the two papers she received into the hole. The box suddenly shone brightly and two cards that had been protected with plastic material appeared out of the hole.

Zelda took the two cards she had covered and handed them to Enzo and Niel. "Because you are now an adventurer, the identity card given is an identity card that is reserved for adventurers. If you want to sign up for an association, you can use this card to sign up."

"The color of your adventurous cards will change if you have a ranking increase."

Rank is divided into seven levels, Rank F, Rank E, Rank D, Rank C, Rank B, Rank A, and the most powerful is Rank S. The higher the rank of an adventurer, the more difficult the mission will be.

The mission mostly came from someone who had a situation he was unable to resolve so he made a mission and handed it over to the Guild. Of course, the mission must be assessed first whether it is appropriate to enter the mission board or not.

Mission recipients will then consider the person giving the mission as a "Client" and carry out the mission as well as possible. Of course, if successful in carrying out the mission, the recipient of the mission will receive the wages promised by this "Client.

Missions are divided into two, namely Passive Missions and Active Missions. Passive missions have no penalty if they fail to be implemented so that when someone fails to carry out the mission, the mission will be thrown to other adventurers without punishment. Passive missions tend to consist mostly of Rank C missions up to Rank F.

The opposite with Active Mission. Active missions have penalties if they fail to be implemented. Active Missions were only given by Guild Elders and influential people. Missions that have dangerous levels are also placed on a special board. The higher the rank of the Mission, the heavier the penalty will be received from the guild if it fails to carry out the mission. Active Missions tend to consist of Rank B missions up to Rank S

To raise the rank, the Guild would give a special mission to complete. If the adventurer succeeds, then he will experience an increase in rank.

Enzo and Niel nodded in understanding then thanked Zelda. Zelda smiled and said, "Since now that you have become an adventurer, why not try taking the first mission?"

Enzo shook his head at Zelda's offer, "We can't go on a mission because we have to get out of town. We will try the first mission when we have free time. Thank you, Miss Zelda."

"Alright, Sir. Thank you for enrolling in the Adventurers Guild. Have a nice day."
