After a while, Duan Qing and Mengzhu understood what the female worker's last words meant.
Walking along Huawu Street, the two of them easily found a conspicuous building. Although from the perspective of people in the 22nd century, this building is not a grand building - it is about several stories high. Except for the lower two floors which are a box-like square structure, the upper building is built into two Tower-shaped columns, one on the left and one on the right, stand above the box like chimneys. There are two pointed conical spiers on top of the two round towers, one taller and one shorter. There is also a thin pointed pillar standing on the top of the spire. Due to the large distance between them, the two of them couldn't tell what material the two extra-long pointed pillars were made of.
Except for the gray spire and dark pointed columns, the entire exterior wall of the building is painted silver-white. Perhaps due to age, some parts are still yellowing. But a little yellow makes this building look more ancient, like a white stone tablet that has weathered the wind and rain, quietly looking at the mountains and mountains of Fenghua Town.
But in Duan Qing's eyes, this place is more like a supermarket in reality.
Perhaps because it was a busy time, the number of people coming and going at the entrance of this building was comparable to the situation in the town hall just now. Moreover, looking at those people coming in and out, most of them were wearing cloaks or robes. The bright weapons, armors and spears and staffs occasionally exposed from the corners of their clothes showed their status as strong men. This also surprised Duan Qing and Mengzhu, secretly thinking that the Adventurers Association is the Adventurers Association. Even in a place like Fenghua Town, there are many talents and great strength.
The existence of such a powerful organization should be a blessing to players who are adventurers.
But just a few minutes later, the ruthless reality broke the illusion of the two of them - they walked to the door of the building, and then saw clearly the door sign hanging beside the door: "Mage Association."
There is also a line of small words next to it: "Fenghua Town Branch."
"It turns out it's not the Adventurers Association..." After a while, Mengzhu whispered: "In such a lively place, I thought..."
"Speaking of these people..." Duan Qing watched a man carrying a big hammer walk out of it, and then walked past the two of them: "It doesn't look like a mage..."
"Maybe they are the servants of the mage? In general fantasy settings, wouldn't there be such people among the followers of the great mage?" Mengzhu put his finger on his chin: "Or are they the guards and bodyguards here?"
"Have you ever seen servants and bodyguards coming in and out at will?" Duan Qing said: "If this business is so easy, please give me a family bucket..."
All kinds of speculations were meaningless. After hesitating for a while, the two people finally decided to stop a passerby and wanted to ask the whole story.
The first man, who looked like a warrior, gave them a look of disdain and walked away.
The second man looked like a swordsman, but he lowered his head and walked in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, so when Duan Qing asked, he didn't notice at all and didn't even look back.
"Of course this is the Mage Association." The third person who was pulled should also be an aboriginal of the Free Continent, because he did not have an ID on his head. He was wearing a cloth robe and holding something like two books in his arms. He seemed to be a member of the legal profession. Pulling on his cuffs, the man pulled his clothes out of the little girl's hands. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the other party's rudeness, the other party just frowned, and then answered Mengzhu's question warmly.
Finally met a normal person...
The two of them let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other. Then, Duan Qing put on a kind smile: "Hahaha, that... we thought it was the Adventurers Association... I don't know..."
The man's eyes became even stranger: "Do you think this is the Adventurers Association? Ha..."
He clapped his hands: "I will tell this joke to Daniel later."
"Um..." Sensing that he might have stabbed someone, Duan Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Excuse me...where is the Adventurers Association?"
"There." After laughing, the man seemed to be in a good mood, so he pointed forward: "Well, that's the place."
Due to the special layout of Fenghua Town, streets on the mountainside usually only have buildings on the side facing the mountain. However, the other side of Huawu Street is very spacious, and there is even a garden opposite the town hall, so they can still On the other side of this street, I found one or two small low-rise houses. The direction the man was pointing at this time was behind Duan Qing and the other side of the street. In the middle of a small row of low bungalows, a two-story building stood quietly there. Vaguely, through the row of trees on the street, you can see a vertical sign with small words hanging on the top of the two-story building.
On the tilted sign, a few words could be vaguely seen: Adventurers Association.
Looking blankly at the small building over there, Duan Qing and Mengzhu were like two fish that had just landed, with their mouths slightly open and their eyes wide open as they stared at the other side of the street until a bleak mountain wind blew past them. By the ear, when the two people woke up and wanted to confirm again, they found that the man in gray cloth robe had gone away, and Shi Shiran walked into the gate of the Master Council.
"It's really... not easy to find..." Duan Qing, who couldn't say a word for a long time, finally remembered the last words of the female worker and complained silently. .
"But the gap is too big." The little girl muttered softly.
Although somewhat reluctant, the two people finally walked to the two-story building. Looking at this facade that was obviously much worse than the Mages Council, the ponytails outside the purple hood lowered their heads in dejection.
"We adventurers..." She looked back at the twin-tower building, and then said, "Is it so miserable..."
"It shouldn't be so miserable." Duan Qing also didn't know what to say: "Maybe it's just that the people in Fenghua Town have been miserable."
Or this is the best possibility he can think of, he added in his mind.
There was no arch bridge, no gate, no guard, and no doorbell in front of the building. Duan Qing wanted to knock on the door, but the door was pushed open as soon as he touched it - the door was not closed at all.
"Ah! You two... must be adventurers!"
As expected, the first scene that caught their eyes was indeed a desolate scene. The interior of the small building is very small, with rows of exposed wooden boards on the surrounding walls. It doesn't even look like it has been decorated. Opposite the door is a long counter like a reception. On the wooden counter are stacks of promotional documents, some scattered messily on one side, and some already scattered on the ground. There is a round table in the middle of the room. There are several small benches, and in the middle of the other side, there is a black board like a notice board. In addition to some pasted papers, there are some incomprehensible writings and drawings on it. There is a small door behind the counter. The wooden door panel is as old as the wooden door Duan Qing just knocked on. There is also a wooden staircase in the innermost corner, which seems to lead to the second floor.
Everything in the entire room appeared in front of the two of them at a glance. Of course, there are all kinds of poster-like things that have been posted on the whole floor.
At this time, a slovenly uncle suddenly jumped out from behind the counter and shouted enthusiastically to Duan Qing and Mengzhu.
"Uh, hello, we are adventurers from Greenstone Village..."
"He is indeed an adventurer! I haven't seen an adventurer in this place for a long time. Welcome, come and sit down, sit down..."
The uncle turned over from behind the counter, then called Duan Qing and Mengzhu to sit on the small bench in the middle.
This is an old man wearing a gray shirt, with two suspenders hanging upright on his shoulders above the black trousers. The reason why this uncle looks sloppy is not only because his shirt buttons are not fully buttoned, but also because of the messy bird's nest on his unshaven face.
"You are from Greenstone Village, right? Ah, that is such a remote place..."
"Yes, but there have been a lot of adventurers lately..."
"I feel this too. By the way, I heard that a big thing happened over there recently..."
"Oh, that..."
This person was very talkative, and the conversation went on naturally like a familiar person. The sloppy uncle first asked Duan Qing to learn about the situation in Green Stone Village, and then enthusiastically introduced the current situation of the Fenghua Town Adventurer Association. Finally, he very earnestly invited two people to join the Adventurer Association and become members of the adventure group. .
"Want to form an adventure group? As long as you form an adventure group, you will have the legitimate rights to help those in need and receive countless adventure commissions. This is what adventurers dream of! Also, Our Adventurers Association has institutions in various regions of the Free Continent. As long as you join the Adventurers Association, you are a member of our big family. In the future, when you travel to every corner of the world, you can receive selfless assistance from our Adventurers Association. .....”
"Well, speaking of this, when we came in..." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's gushing: "Why didn't I see the Adventurer's Association branch on the sign..."
"Those are just details, don't bother with them!" The uncle waved his hand very coolly: "And I can tell you now!"
He stood up, grinned at the two of them, and gave a thumbs up at the same time: "This is the Adventurers Association, the branch of Fenghua Town. And I..."
"I am the leader of this branch, Richard." In the man's exaggerated smile, both rows of white teeth seemed to be shining white: "Richard Bright."
"Very happy to meet all of you."
******************
Although it was different from their previous understanding, Duan Qing and Mengzhu still did not take advantage of this seemingly good opportunity to form an adventure group.
there are many reasons. The first is because the two of them still want to wait and see the situation. After all, this strange situation, coupled with the huge contrast before, makes Duan Qing and Mengzhu have to act carefully for fear of falling into some trap; the second is because the two previous Since there is a way to get Guzman's bracelet, they have no reason not to use the existing favorable resources to gain some benefits for their future, and maybe trigger some hidden factors or something... ..As for the third thing, they are not yet qualified to form an adventure group.
The test of strength can be waived, and the test that needs to be completed to form an adventure group can also be waived. However, the number of people is a rigid rule of the Adventurers Association. Even with Richard's authority, this aspect cannot be waived.
So after swearing that they would come back to discuss setting up an adventure group again, the two finally left the place and planned to go to the town hall to find someone.
Rama, whom Gustan mentioned before, is said to be a high-level executive in Fenghua Town. They don't know exactly how high he is. I didn't have the chance to inquire before, but now I can inquire carefully, maybe I will gain something.
The two of them planned to go now, but after Duan Qing walked out of the two-story building, he made a new proposal.
"Let's go take a look inside the Mage Association." He stood on the side of Huawu Street, looking at the strange building with twin spires opposite, and suddenly said to Mengzhu.
"What are you doing there?" Mengzhu asked doubtfully.
"On your way. And..." Duan Qing thought for a while and then said: "Let's go see what a magician is like. Aren't you interested?"
"Not interested. I don't want to be a mage...wait a minute." Mengzhu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "No, do you want to be a mage?"
"Well, if you have the chance, it's not impossible to do it..."
"Don't be stupid, uncle! The mage in this game is not fun at all. I heard that he can't even lock the target, and he can't even hit a single spell..." The little girl immediately began to object loudly: "And Haven't you already added a lot of points to your strength? Now tell me you want to be a mage..."
"Playing games, why don't you just play..."
"Hey, you're going to ruin yourself if you play like this!"
The heated debate began, and then gradually stopped - after Duan Qing repeatedly promised that he was just going to experience the appearance of the legal profession in this game, and would never have the idea of joining the mage team, the little girl glumly agreed to this "drop-in" " trip. However, in Duan Qing's heart, the girl with a pouty golden ponytail next to her was indeed a bit tender.
As long as it passes, what will happen is beyond your control.
I have played countless melee professions in many virtual games in the past, and they are all kinds of melee professions. From swordsmen to axemen, from thieves to fighters, as well as knights and shield warriors, in order to satisfy their desire to collect, they have used all kinds of strange one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons. There was a time when he was given the title of Weapons Master by the outside world. Although he was only known for a while and was overshadowed by more titles, it at least proved that his attainments in melee weapons were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As for long-range professions and legal professions, although I have dabbled in them before, it was only to understand their characteristics so that I could be prepared and targeted in subsequent battles. Now I am far away from that kind of life, so...
I just don’t want to play games, so what can I do?
"We agreed that we were just going to take a look. Wait a minute, let me calculate the time... we will leave in half an hour! There are still other things to do!"
"Okay, okay... By the way, don't worry so much, okay? Didn't you see that there were many people dressed as melee fighters among the people who went in and out of there just now? Maybe everyone in this world can become the God of Cookery... ...Uh, no, it's a mage..."
"It's not certain whether they are members of the Council of Mages! Also, even if they can be, it doesn't mean you can be..."
With a little quarrel, the two people, blown by the mountain wind, continued to talk and walked slowly past.
