Adventure Guild

"Name, origin and motive of your visit" Allen was taken away by one guard to a near room of Mondstadt's wall and made a little interrogation, the normal when an unknown and suspicious person entered the city. Expecting it, Allen took out a green identification.

The guard took the identification and passed over some type of scanner "Niwa Allen, adventure from Inazuma, rank 26. No criminal record." The soldier stated the information given before returning to Allen. "Why did you decide to come to Mondstadt?"

"I am traveling around for now due to Inazuma's closure and I wanted to stay sometime over at Mondstadt" Allen explained.

"I was forced to escape" Before the soldier was about to ask a question, Allen interrupted showing his Cryo Vision. The news of Inazuma closing its frontiers and hunting Vision's users was already known all over Teyvat so they will take it as quite normal to try to escape from it for someone with a Vision. In the end, it wasn't even a false statement, but hiding a lot of the truth.

"I understand" The guard nodded, showing a pitiful gaze toward Allen "You can pass. Welcome to Mondstadt."

"Thanks" Allen thanked as he left the office, easily entering the city even with a sword over his hips, perks of surpassing the rank 25, being able to be armed at any city.

...

Entering the city, a new world opened. Children playing, people smiling while walking, shopping and doing their everyday life.

It wasn't the first time Allen entered Mondstadt, having spent some time there, but it was the first time of being able to see this side of the city. In the end, it did not matter where he went, as Columbina, one of the Eleven Harbingers, all the faces were on her, people stopping what they were doing for her mere presence.

"Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild." As Allen reached the adventure guild, the receptionist, Katheryne, greeted him with a smile. She was a woman with black hair with bangs, gray-blue eyes and fair skin.

"I came to make a transfer to Mondstadt," Allen said. As now, his region of affiliation was Inazuma. Changing it, he will gain more information about the new place while informing the guild of his presence.

"If everything is fine. Please, firm here, lord Allen" Katherine took out a paper, it has his information and combat style, plus the demand of a transfer, with the reason of escaping the Vision Hunt of Inazuma.

How did Katheryne know Allen's name? When had they acquired his information? Since when Allen had been an adventure? It has quite a curious reason behind it.

Adventures had been roaming over Teyvat for thousands of years, but the organization known as Adventure Guild only had some hundreds of years. It was founded for the dream to explore the land and discover its secrets, for the eagerness to explore, promoting cooperation, giving help, and incentives to people's discoveries.

Of course, to make that, it was necessary a source of money, that's why the commissions were born. The Adventure Guild decided to become a type of intermediary between people and adventures, people putting and paying missions and requests for adventures to complete, the Adventure Guild making sure of the legacy of both, showing a great coordinated system with few flaws in it. Keeping track of the adventures possible bad actions, showing a list of punishments and rewards.

This way, they gained money to keep their activities plus gaining the support of the people and regions, letting it expand at every region and their influence reaching the point of identification as an adventure, being useful in any city. Truly two hits with one rock.

Adventures were obligated to do some commission every some period of time, unless a reasonably excuse was given. That period of time based on the Adventure's rank, the higher, the higher being the period.

Adventures had a rank, based on their track record. Starting with 1 and increasing by doing exploration and commissions, more and higher difficulty missions are necessary for higher ranks, with some tests to pass over the next rank, like at 25, 35... It increased more with new discoveries rather than commissions, showing their first objective.

The Adventure Guild's work was overall collating all the complex word-of-mouth information it received and redistributing it in the form of quests and adventures assigned to adventurers.

That, of course, was in the open. The truth behind was that it was secretly controlled by Snezhnaya.

Apart from Arlecchino's spies that worked in the shadows to recollect hidden information, the Adventure Guild was Snezhnaya's first source of information, working in the open to obtain a clear image of what happened around Teyvat.

All of it was to learn about what was happening around them, letting them advance others while learning about possible strong people.

If it was done too openly, people would have discovered that the Adventure Guild was a Fatui's work. That's why once it was formed, it was left almost to automatic manage, with people of every region completely unrelated to the Fatui as the heads.

The only thing always in common between them, the only thing fully controlled by the Fatui, was the one in front of Allen, Katheryne.

What seemed to be a normal woman, was in truth a bionic puppet. A robot made by Sandrome herself and capable of autopilot and mostly act as a normal person. It was precisely the Katherynes who recollected the information and gave it to Sandrome, directly coming to Snezhnaya.

With that, it was quite easy to fake an id for Allen by using Katheryne and as Inazuma was closed, it was impossible to truly verify it otherwise, becoming quite a good excuse.

Being an adventure would help Allen become closer to the people in a way impossible as Columbina, gaining their trust. And already having a middle-lower rank, will let him skip the first tedious part of learning with its limitations while avoiding the awareness that came with higher ranks.

"Thanks, for all" Allen finished firming the paper.

"With this, your trespass has been done, Allen" Katheryne communicated "There's someplace you want to start? Recollection, bodyguarding, monster hunting..."

"Give me easy, quick and menial requests inside the city. I want to meet people."

"As you wish" Katheryne took out some requests, Allen taking them "Farewell, Adventurer, and thank you for supporting the Adventurers' Guild."

"Now" Allen smiled reading the requests "Let's start!"
