The Immortal Player

The Adventurer's Guild was located at the northwestern side, right outside the Kingdom's wall. By foot, it would take around two to three minutes to arrive at the northern gate of the kingdom. While it would take around ten to twenty minutes to arrive at the western gate of the kingdom.

This was made so because Pedro had his residence located in the northern part of the Kingdom. Thus, the Adventurer's Guild was placed at the nearest gate—which was the northern gate, in consideration for Pedro.

It was a well-thought idea by Duke Ersi and Duke Albert. That said, it did not matter much to Pedro. After all, Pedro could even cross a mountain in several minutes, what much more walking around the Kingdom.

Going back to the Adventurer's Guild, since it was the first time that such an organization would be established, Pedro did not have an idea regarding the setup or arrangement of the land area that was usually arranged for an Adventurer's Guild.

So, Pedro could only imitate how Adventurer's Guild was established in other games. Of course, Pedro did not make things complicated and only arranged a simple land allocation that can still be easily modified in the future by Weyron.

The Adventurer's Guild Area was divided into two major parts, the Basic Needs Area—which was located near the wall of the kingdom, and the Management Area—which was located at the outermost side facing the northwestern side of the Tarala Kingdom.

The Management Area has three sub-areas namely the office area—furthest to the left, the registration area—middle, and the training area—furthest to the right. And out of these three sub-areas, the training area was the only place where no structure was built. It was mainly for duels and training that would be held later on.

Well… It was designed that way because as the land occupied by the Adventurer's Guild expands, the location of the training area was the most probable place to be affected. So, it was purposely left empty for now.

As for the office area, it was just an office for the management group of the Adventurer's Guild. At the same time, it is where the lodgings of the clerks/workers of the Adventurer's Guild were located. And the man in charge of this area was no other than Neerak Axutar. Although he was still young and a tad bit naïve, he was one of the people whom Pedro trusted regarding the management of people. And that is why Pedro chose him over everyone else.

Lastly, the registration area is where adventurers would get registered as an adventurer. It is also where the quests are being displayed. At the same time, it is where new adventurers would be given tests before they can join the Adventurer's Guild.

The Registration Area was personally handled by Pedro, in the meantime, together with his demi-human slaves. Well… It would be the busiest area of the Adventurer's Guild when the players come. So, it was only natural that Pedro had a lot of extra hands in that area.

Proceeding to the Basic Needs Area, it has three sub-areas namely, the resting area—which was located at the far left and near the walls of the Kingdom, the market—which was at the centermost, while the storage area was located at the right side of the market.

It was called a storage area but it acts more like a bank. It is where goods of the Adventurer's Guild would be kept, while also keeping some of the goods of some traders in the market for safety purposes. And since it would be similar to a bank, Aks was the one tasked to protect that area, supposedly together with Ragas.

That said, since they lack manpower at this moment, the management of the Storage Area was still placed under Neerak Axutar since the recording of the inventory still lies under the management group. As for the market, it was supposed to be managed by Pedro.

However, since actual structures were to be built, Pedro simply left the stalls under Aldo, Lony, and Roval's hands. Pedro simply gave them instructions on how to manage each stall. Together with Yuson and Clara as their guard, it was a small but decent-looking market.

Under the Market Group, there were currently three stalls that everyone could visit. The first one was the weapon and skill shop that was handled by Aldo since Pedro could only entrust the weapons and skills that he personally made to Aldo.

And because of the importance of the weapons and skills, Pedro anticipated that there was a high possibility that ill-intentioned people would attack the Weapon and Skill Sho besides the storage area. So, Pedro specifically asked Clara for help in temporarily guarding that area.

The second stall was managed by Lony, which was a food stall. Together with some of the human slaves that were knowledgeable in cooking, they handle the food stall that sells roasted meat of monsters or some stewed meat of monsters. Well… The players won't give that much thought about it. As long as it won't taste bad, they would purchase it just to satisfy their hunger.

And lastly, the third stall would be managed by Roval, which was the special stall. It was supposed to be a miniature version of the Auction Den, where players could sell or bid items. However, due to lack of manpower, Pedro had simply converted it to a lottery area instead. Thus, leaving Roval in managing it.

The mechanism of the lottery was simple. Players would only need to select seven numbers from 1 to 50, no repeating numbers, and pay a fixed participating price of 10 bronze coins. Then, a huge wheel would be rotated at midnight to determine the winning combination for that day.

If a player was able to perfectly match the winning seven-digit combination for that day, he/she would win 1 Gold Coin. Well… Pedro set the money prize to 1 Gold Coin so that many players would get attracted to participate in the lottery. That said, being able to perfectly match the winning combination was difficult. So, Pedro did not expect anyone to win the Grand Prize anytime soon. Besides… It's just one gold coin. Pedro has hundreds of them.

That said, to remove the doubts of the players in participating in the lottery, Pedro even set a prize of 20 Silver Coins to the players who would be able to perfectly match six out of the seven-digit winning combination.

There was a prize of 5 Silver Coins for those who would be able to perfectly match five out of the seven-digit winning combination. And lastly, there was a prize of 1 Silver Coin—equivalent to 100 Bronze Coins, for those who would be able to perfectly match four out of the seven-digit winning combination.

Well… Pedro did not need to do some schemes or whatnot in the lottery. After all, it was all for fun than it is for profit. A piece of entertainment for the players as you could say. Besides, it was only a temporary alternative for an Auction Area.

Considering the bond that Lony and Roval were able to re-establish with Yuson, the NPC was tasked to maintain order at the special stall and the food stall. Well… Even Pedro did not think that someone would create trouble in these two seemingly minor stalls.

As for the last sub-area under the Basic Needs Area, the resting area was composed of several temporary tents, where players could 'safely' leave their characters as they logged out of the game. It would be one of the most difficult areas to monitor, so, Pedro decided to assign Loren and Sabrina to manage that area.

That said, the Resting Area—together with the Adventurer's Guild as a whole, does not guarantee the safety of each player to a hundred percent while in their land. They can only offer protection to the best of their abilities and, at the same time, ensure that the evildoers would be properly punished.

After all, it was the same case for inns inside Kingdoms and Villages. If the guards of the inn were not able to detect the assassins and someone was killed on their premises, they won't be able to do anything to help them in return.

So, it was only natural that the Players' lives would be in danger most of the time at the start of the game. Whether it be against monsters, NPCs, or even their fellow players, they won't be safe anywhere in Bearth unless they are in their own territory.

Well… It was not that the players would not be safe in Sabrina's presence. There were even only a limited number of Kingdom Soldiers that would be able to fight against her, head-on. In fact, even the Royal Knights would have difficulty in fighting her.

Add up the fact that Pedro was heavily investing in Sabrina's Character as if it was his second account… Thus, Sabrina was more than enough to monitor the resting area.

Besides… Even if some ill-intentioned people would try to cause trouble within the premises of the Adventurer's Guild, a goddess was always by the side of Pedro and was even amongst the gods and goddess who has the strongest detection skills. So… Pedro did not really have that much problem at all.

If anyone dares to mess with them… Ragas, Clara, Aks, Yuson, Sabrina, Pedro, and Faunia would take care of them as if they were bugs. Something that they can dispose of with ease!
