Stone made his way back to the Town to sell the bodies of the chicken Beasts.
After asking a few villagers where he could sell them, some of them pointed out to the Merchant Guild, While some told him about some stores specialized in Beasts, But, most of them highly recommended the Adventurer Guild!
He followed the direction they showed him and finally came across a 2 story medieval-styled building.
Your typical Adventurer Branch Building.
It was filled with people and they were either leaving or entering endlessly.
Some were wearing light armors, while others were armored to the teeth, some of them even wore robes, they're probably magicians.
After he entered the building he attracted quite a lot of attention obviously, His attractive looks will for sure attract the attention of some ladies as well as the envy of some brats.
Of course, he didn't want to cause trouble so he looked down slightly and hid his stunning figure with the 'Shadow' Bag that was filled with Gigantus Chicken Beasts.
"Whatcha doing here, Little one! This place ain't meant for Hatchlings like ya!" A tall bald bulky man called out to Stone from his seat.
He looked around 30~40-Sum and he was drinking some booze with a few other men and 2 Ladies.
He was equipped with Slightly Dark Silver armor around his neck was a piece of wolf skin used as a decoration, And he had a Long and Large Great Sword parked right next to his seat, It was pretty stylish, the handle was long and there was a Huge Wolf Fang at its bottom. As for the Guard, it was slightly Curved and Blue in Color, On it were the Characters: [Wolf Fang].
"Hehe, Maybe he's trying to gain some cash to save his sick sister, You don't know!" A young lady wearing a Purple showy robe and a long staff on her back said with a giggle as she analyzed Stone from head to toe, then she licked her lips slowly and seductively.
"So what! Little guy, do ye kno' how many people die each day in this godforsaken place, When they respawn they'll, first of all, lose 1 Hard-Earned Level, and if they're lucky enough they'll experience a little trauma without losing any equipment.
"Lemme tell ya sum!"
"Yup, here he goes again!" His seemingly Party-Members said as some of them smacked their head, while others shacked it, Surprisingly even some other adventurers who were sitting close and far away from them did the same.
"In my early days, a few hundred years ago, I've died for the first and last time, I was killed by a fearsome monster, Much more evil than the most ferocious of them all Beasts, it was my brother! Just for the sake of a single piece of Grade-10 pile of metal! Ye'r not prepared enough to enter this world yet, If ya just want to risk yer life then I recommend ya to get out of her right here right now!"
"Before you enter this wide-open gate to hell, you can turn your back and go sell some milk or help some store on the village!"
"Hoi hoi, Robert! Stop scaring the young man!" A handsome Black haired middle-aged man said jokingly as He mocked Robert.
He was wearing lighter armor than Robert's and he was also equipping a cape, As for his weapon, He was a Dual Swordsman, that's what Stone deduced from the two Long swords he stationed right beside him.
"This guy's just bluffing, he died more than 10 times in the past few hundred years, Don't believe in him! As long as you show some skills you're free to enter, other than that you have nothing to worry about!" He said.
"Thank you! I just want to sell the bodies of some beasts I killed earlier." Stone respectfully replied.
"Hoo! welp, you can ask Young Emilia right there!"
"mhm!"
Stone then headed towards the reception where a Tall Beauty was busy talking with some adventurers.
She was red-haired with Crimson eyes, had an oval-shaped face, and magnificent curves.
She was wearing the same clothes as the Receptionist from the Training center but this time it was a Black Leather Sleeveless Jacket.
After a bit more than 7 minutes of waiting, Stone finally reached his turn.
"Hello, How can I help you?" The Receptionist Emilia said with a faint welcoming smile that had a trace of tiredness.
"I would like to sell some monsters I've hunted earlier!" Stone replied.
"Very Well! Please follow me to the Butcher Room, there you can sell your Beasts."
"Okay!" Stone silently Followed Emilia, as she started throwing some info from time to time.
"If you would like you can register as an adventurer, You just need to pass a test and you will become a Grade-12 one."
"By becoming an adventure you'll enjoy many benefits, one of them is a 10% increase in the price at which we'll buy the monsters from you, As well as, No fees required, adding to the fact that you can accept missions from the Quest Board, and by completing them you will get Contribution Points, Reputation, Fame, Rewards, including even Exp, The more quests you complete and the harder they are the faster you will go up in Guild Ranks, and the easier you will advance in Grades."
"If you're Reputation and Fame is high enough you might get specially selected by Customers, and have a higher chance of getting selected as a Knight by the Kingdom's Army, get Recruited by a Guild, or get selected as an honorary member in special expeditions, Beast invasions, and Dungeon Clearing Quests, Which will, in turn, give you even more rewards, reputation, and much more!"
"Please do consider it!"
"Sound interesting! I will think about it!"
"Thank... You?" Emilia looked at Stone strangely, although Adventurers confront danger every once in a while the rewards for doing that are extremely generous, Normally, youths like Stone got big dreams and quickly sign to become adventurers, and it is a good thing for Emilia because that is the only way she can earn more money, an increase in her salary, or maybe even a promotion!
Although these days strangely there've been tons of people coming to this Village and registering as adventurers to the point this Village might be promoted to a Town, and even though it became very tiring to handle all the work, it's never bad to get more money to pass her free days, have fun, and most importantly feed her poor family.
It didn't take long for Stone and Emilia to reach the Butcherer's Room.
There they found a Pretty average in height burly bearded man he was around 1.65 m tall, he was wearing white clothes and he was clothed from head to toe, he was full of blood as well as he was busy skinning some kind of very Huge Fox-like beast.
Emilia, Turned around and left once she confirmed that Stone reached his destination, As for him, he sat on a chair he found there and waited quietly.
He stood there for a bit over 5 minutes, and it was only then that the man turned to look at him.
"Well well! what do we have here... What do you want from me youngun?" The man said as he put his large knife on top of the skinning table.
"I would like to sell some Beasts!" Stone said slightly feeling embarrassed for repeating the same sentence a few times now, That was kind of cringe!
"Mhm, Very well! Let me take a look."
Stone nodded, then he got up from his seat, ut the bag on the table, and slowly slid the black chickens out of it.
"How unusual, A Small Group of Black Plain Predators!"
"Did you hunt it alone, youngun?"
"Yes!"
"Hmm... 3 of them were Cleanly cut, 1 of them is slightly damaged, while the last one was badly tortured."
"Good Job, youngun! People of this village hate these Beasts more than their nightmares."
"They will certainly treat you as a hero if they came to know that you hunted some."
"Anyways, It's not every day that someone hunts a Pack of these Chickens!"
"Before that, tell me how you killed them. Did you lure them one by one and killed them or waited until they got separated and struck? If you're a Level 2 then I guess it will be easy to do either of the two!"
"No! First of all, I hid inside the Large Grass and waited for the right opportunity to strike, I then quickly sliced the first one's head, then, badly injured the second one, But I got struck by one of them so I retreated. Then, I came back after healing and used the same technique to slice the 3rd one's head, and then I killed 2 and finished the badly injured one."
"Hoho! Good strategy, I guess I can put this on the Beginner's Large Guide, of course, you will get a small part of the payment, around 0.1%. After all, Black Predators are hard to kill, they're sneaky and a bit smart. if you accept that is!"
"Why not?"
"Ok then, from what I see I think you're a level 3 or 4, Right?"
"No, I'm Level 1!"
"Huh?? Level 1? To be able to kill a group of Black Predators as a Level 1, you're pretty good, youngun! Don't get ahead of yourself and do something dangerous, Hahaha!"
"Guess this strategy will be popular once you make a name for yourself, If you have any other thing like this you can come to me!"
"I will consider it!"
"Now let's move to business!"
"You're not an adventurer yet, but, I won't charge you any fee, you can think of it as a friend's helping hand, The general Price of an intact Black Predator is 50 Coins fees excluded, it's around the price of a level 2 Beast."
"due to its intelligence and sneakiness it's hard for Newbies to Hunt it and the Higher Leveled Bunch usually act in groups and aim at easier and more profitable beasts, So it's even harder to come by."
"For the slightly damaged one, I will give you 45 F.C, and lastly, the tortured chicken will be 37!"
"In total it will be... 232 Fantasy Coins!"
"Okay, Thank you, Umm?"
"Haha, My name's Kretoss, Kretoss Domino!"
"Nice meeting you, Mister Kretoss, My name is Stone, Stone Nem!"
