In the way to the city, is saw that there were people working in the fields to grow food, some of them were already harvesting, others were starting, but all of the people were doing the same, working in the fields. I could see kids of ten years and so working too.
“Education is only for nobles? or is that they need to pay and their families can't afford it?”
In Emory education was free and for everyone, well Emory is a heaven in earth in this world. The conditions are better, and the people that live there live ten years more than in the other kingdoms, Emory always have problems of migration but since is strictly regulated, it never was a problem.
After my inner monologue I get close to the city gates, there I see two man with armor were standing like statues, I went to talk to them so I can enter the city.
“Hello, can I enter in the city?”
“If you have an identification you can enter without paying the fee, if you don't have then is 2 silver coins for the entry and one to exit, if you don't have money, we can buy you something”
“Here you have two silver coins”
“Alright, come with me, now we need to check you”
The guard lead me to a room, there I saw a crystal ball.
“Put magic power in the crystal we need to know if you are a criminal or if you have records of breaking the law”
I was not nervous, I have some criminal records, if being exiled count and I think it count, but not in this country, so when I heard his words I did as he told me. The crystal ball shine in green, normally when something shine green in this type situation can only be good.
“...you can enter”
“Thanks”
When I enter the city I saw that there was a lot of people, a big part of them are human, but there were other species, not much actually, for 20 humans in this city there are 1 of the other species. It took me like twenty minutes to find an elf when I entered the city.
Since I entered the city my plan was to see if there are some search facility for magic so I can find a job there, if there is not then I will find a job in another part, then train my martial arts and find someone who can teach me how to fight, then when my training is done I will explore the world.
There is a rule were all people need to know if you are new in a city in a medieval world, find an inn, tavern or talk with a merchant to find information, there will always be someone who knows something.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I find and inn and pay for five nights, then I go to ask the receptionist, he is a young man in his twenties, with brown hair, blue eyes and a big nose, without the nose he could be handsome, he is the owner and have a beautiful wife.
“tsk, lucky”
“Yes?”
“I-i want to know if you can give me information about this city, I am new here”
“Sure”
He told me that the city is called Visan, there are four layers in this city, the first layer is the residential area where most of the residents live, in this part there will be some stalls here and there that they will sell food to the people who are going out of the city to work in the fields and other things.
The second layer is where the commerce area, this area the merchants, inns, taverns, blacksmiths, tailors, gem crafters and other jobs do their business, in this place the tailors, blacksmith and the other craft type guil-.
“There are guilds!?”
“Y-yes, the ones I told are to practice craft professions, but there are other guilds”
“There are more guilds!?”
“T-too close”
Since I become so agitated when he mentioned that there are guilds, my hopes for an adventurers guild go up and I got so close to him that our noses almost touch.
“S-sorry, again, I am new but I always heard of the craft type guilds when I grow up, there are more?”
“You are of a little village, huh?, well yes there are various types of guilds, there is a mercenary guild, hunters guild, there is an explorers guild, a guild for all the craftsman professions and a crafters guild and the most difficult guild to join is the adventures guild”
“There is so many guilds and why is the adventures guild the most difficult?”
“Well not exactly the most difficult for some people but yes, that is because there are the major and secondary guilds, the secondary guilds are guilds like the tailors guild or the blacksmith guild, in these guilds they teach their profession, it cost a little but if you can pay it you will have an stable work, is the same with the hunters, mercenary and explorers guild”
“Then what are the major guilds? and why the adventures guild is one of the most difficult guilds to join”
“I'm going to that part, there are few major guilds and they are majors because they are a bunch of elitists, only the best of the best are there, in them there are the adventures guild, magic guild, crafters guild and merchants guild, if you want to join the crafters guild you need to be a master in your crafter profession like a blacksmith and create a new invention that is useful to the world, the last one in joining was an alchemist and he created a potion that recover magic power faster than normal, the merchants guild only accept people that have trades with at least 3 kingdoms of the continent, Magic guild only accept people who have a great amount of magic power, usually nobles and species like elves, demons and the like are the ones that are there since they are the only ones with high magical power, the last is the adventures guild, to enter this guild you need to be an elite member of the mercenary, hunters and explorers guild and do something big, the last one in joining the adventures guild found a new type of plant when he was exploring the unexplored parts of the continent”
“Wow that really is something, thanks!”
“Your Welcome”
“Well I have things to do, see you!”
With all that new information now I have a goal, I will be a member of the adventures guild!, but first I will need to train my magic, it will become in handy since having magic is a plus that no one have to waste.
“To the magic guild!”
Is what I said, but I went back with the inn owner to ask where is the magic guild since I forgot to ask.
