After losing the necklace, Jake decided to head off to the Guild hall. 'If I rember correctly, Cindy ntioned that travellers go sowhere to get tasks or be hired for a particular task. So there's surely going to be a Guild hall of so sort here. Every town has it.'
At last, after a few minutes, Jake finally got to the Guild hall. It was the biggest building in the town and it stood right in the centre with the words 'Guild Hall' above the building. Upon entering the building, Jake saw long tables with groups of people on it that Jake could only assu where adventures.
Then to the right, was a huge bulletin board that was split up into different sections, above each section was a letter that went from F to S. The further down one went, the fewer quest they were as they got harder.
Jake looked at the bulletin board and noticed that they weren't quest that went beyond C class. In fact, they were only two quest on the C class.
'I guess in a small as this, there's no one strong enough to take up a quest stronger than the C class.' Jake thought as he carried on moving, he noticed there was a separate bulletin board which was small in size. On top was written the word "Guild quests."
Jake was staring strangely at the board as he didn't understand what it ant or what any of what he had been seeing ant. That was when he heard a voice.
"I see, it looks like you are not from around here or sothing." Jake turned around to see who was there and he noticed that it was the female he was bidding against for the necklace.
Seeing her, Jake wanted to leave the place. That was when she stopped Jake. "C'mon are you upset about the necklace?"
"No I'm not." Jake answered not even looking at her as he wanted to head towards the counter but his hand was grabbed.
"I'm sorry for that. It's just that I needed the necklace for sothing and if you badly want the necklace, I can give it back."
"I don't want your charity." Jake said as he wriggled his hand free and then went off to one of the tables and that's when he saw a man sitting on the table calmly drinking.
Jake greeted the man, to which the man responded politely then Jake went ahead to ask questions that he had about the Guild hall since he saw the man was most likely an adventurer.
"Uhmm I gotta ask," Jake said talking to the man in front of him. "What's the aning of Guild quests?"
The man raised an eyebrow and looked up from his drink and looked Jake again for the second ti and then sighed before he took a swig of his bottle and answered Jake's question.
"Hearing you ask this question, I can see you are not from around here. And looking at your dressing, I think you are a student." The man said while sipping his drink.
Jake looked down at his uniform. He didn't have much clothes and the ones he had, were all worn out so he just decided to put on his uniform and head into the down.
"It would make sense why you don't know about it." The man continued again. "You see, this guild hall is owned by the governnt and its part of the town, so it doesn't belong to any specific guild. So quest will be too much for a person handle so they put up guild quests. These quests are based on your guild rank though which is separate from an individual rank."
Jake decided to ask more questions as he was suddenly interested in these sorts of things. "So how does one rank up and get to the next rank?"
The man took a sip from his drink again and responded. "For each quest a person complete, they would get two types of points, Guild points and ranking points. You are only allowed to take quests based on your rank and once you reach enough points, you would be upgraded to the next rank."
"And also, mind you, they are three types of Guildhall. One of them is run by the governnt that it ans it doesn't belong to any of the Big three such as ours. The second type of Guildhall, is run by the Big three. The Big three each had different Guilds that they run. While the third, are private Guildhalls, they don't fall under the governnt or Big three. They are their own people."
"So if I get it right, the governnt type of Guild isn't In the control of the Big three right?" Jake asked.
"Yes. The Big three do not control any of the governnt type Guildhall." The man replied.
"So how does a governnt Guildhall earn money to function?" Jake asked again.
"Governnt Guildhalls, earn their inco from quests and beast crystals trade. When a quest is put up, and a governnt Guildhall accept and complete the quest, the money will be used to maintain the Guild."
"So how can I beco a traveller?" Jake asked with a smile on his face.
"Just head there." The man pointed to a counter behind him and Jake set off but not without saying Thank you to the man for all the information.
Jake head off to the counter there to register as a traveller so he could earn more credits. Unknown to him that a pair of eyes kept following him everywhere which belonged to the female that bought the necklace that Jake wanted earlier.
"What's wrong miss Helen? Why do you keep looking at that kid?" The bodyguard who kept following her asked.
"I don't know Berg." Helen replied. "I just took an interest in him. I feel like there is sothing special or interesting about him."
"So when are you going to be done observing him?" Berg asked again.
"When he leaves." Helen replied as she went to take a seat.
Berg didn't say anything, he just took a seat opposite her and they kept on observing Jake who was now at the counter.
"Hi, good day." Jake greeted the middle aged man who was at the counter.
"Hi, how can I help you?" The man asked.
"I want to register as a traveller." Jake said.
"Alright that will be 150 credits." The man said to which Jake paid the man and his na was registered then he was given a tag and was told to prick himself with the needle provided to him and put the blood on the tag so it could be bonded to him and registered.
Jake did everything and the tag now changed and displayed the letter F on it. Imdiately Jake collected his tag, he was about leaving because he wanted to co back the next day to complete quests but as he was about leaving the counter, the doors to the Guild swung wide open with force and four heft looking n ca in with a an look on their faces.
"Alright, it's ti for you guys to pay protection money." The leader who had a scar across his face said and because of the scar, he was given the na Scar.
Everyone shivered in fear and one of Scar's n brought a little watch and started going around while everyone were transferring the credits from their watch to the watch held in Scar's n hand. Jake who was still thinking about the Guild, tag and how he will earn money didn't even really notice scar and his n as he was on his way out of the building but he was stopped by Scar.
"Hey, Kiddo! Where do you think you are going?" Scar said, his voice booming loudly.
Jake stopped and turned around. "Huh? Are you talking to ?"
Scar laughed out loud. "Who else am I talking to if not you?"
"What do you want with ?" Jake asked now fully turning around.
"What I want with you? You haven't paid protection money. Everyone in this town, are needed to pay protection money and you haven't." Scar said.
"What if I said I'm not gonna pay?"
"Then I will say, you are in a world of pain." Scar said with a grin on his face.
"What are you doing kid? Just pay up and you can go freely." The man who Jake was asking questions from earlier said.
Jake didn't respond as he turned around to leave but his shoulder was grabbed by Scar. "I said you have to pay."
"And I said am not gonna." Jake replied not turning around.
"I warned you kid but you didn't listen. Just know you forced my hand." Scar said stepping back away from Jake.
Jake now turned around to look at Scar who's three n were now standing beside him. "Kim, take care of the kid and make sure he pays." Scar ordered.
Upon hearing his boss' order, Kim walked forward towards Jake and that was when he could see a smile on Jake's smile. 'At last, what I couldn't get in the past year, I finally have the chance of getting it.'
