Chapter 190 - Taboo Name
There were a few reasons why Ray wanted to create a guild as soon as possible. Taking over Avrion was only a small part of his plan. In order to fight the Shadow plague that had already taken over half the entire continent, Ray was going to need an army.
A well-established guild was a good way to get strong people over to your side, but not just that, the guilds were also recognized between the 6 kingdoms and empire. What Ray needed to do now more than ever was spread the name of the Red wings and recruit more people.
Although Avrion was well known, that was only true in the Alure kingdom. Outside of the Alure kingdom, Avrion was only a pebble. It was well talked about between the other kingdoms that Avrion was the weakest.
There were many reasons for this but the main reason people suspected was because of the beasts that lived there. There weren"t many high-level beasts so there wasn"t a reason for the people to get stronger.
During the month that Avrion was busy being rebuilt, Ray struggled to find a single advanced tier beast. There were the tunnels but they had been completely emptied making Ray think that the Dark guild had been breading them somehow.
So to increase the name of the Red wings throughout the continent, Ray wanted to make a guild. Later down the line, this would also help him when controlling the people. If the Red wings had a good reputation for killing beasts and completing quests, then when they took over a city most of the people living there wouldn"t rebel.
After the three of them had reached the town the first thing they did was head to the guildhall. When Ray entered the guildhall, it was just like last time. There were many groups of people who were sat down with their weapons on their backs.
When the three of them entered the attention of the others quickly focused on them. They didn"t get many visitors since it was a small town so they immediately knew they didn"t belong here. There was also one other thing that stood out and that was Ray"s hair.
Ray ignored the wandering eyes and immediately started to walk towards the desk.
While he was walking, out of the corner of his eye he also spotted Candy and Tuffy who were sitting with a bunch of other adventures. They were currently giggling and smiling.
"Looks like their happy." Ray thought
"Is that a smile on your face Ray?" Gary said, "I didn"t know you liked kids so much."
"They are kinda cute," Jack said as he looked at one of the adventures pinching Candy"s cheek.
Ray had reached the counter and standing behind the desk was a girl with gla.s.ses and a ponytail named Sophie.
"Welcome, how can I help?" Sophie asked.
"Us three here would like to register as adventures."
"Sure, I just need you three to fill in these forms for me."
Sophie handed three forms over which had magic text inscribed around the edges. The form had basic information such as name and age but other than that there wasn"t much to it. There was no test involved and anyone could become an adventurer if they wanted to.
But many chose not to as they knew how dangerous such a job was. After filling the three forms in, Ray handed them back over to Sophie. Sophie then went and grabbed three clear dog tags which almost looked like they were made of cla.s.s.
She then placed each dog tag on top of the piece of paper and suddenly, the piece of paper started to disappear and the dog tag changed to a red color.
"There"s just one more thing you need to do to activate the tags, that way they will be bonded to you," Sophie said, "We just need a p.r.i.c.k of blood."
Sophie then went to grab a p.r.i.c.k machine but before she had come back with it. Ray and the others had already used Gary"s blade to cut themselves.
She was surprised people so young were able to do such a thing. Even a lot of the a.d.u.l.ts wouldn"t be able to cut themselves and needed to use the p.r.i.c.k machine.
Ray, Gary, and Jack each then dripped their blood onto the dog tag and at the same time, their names started to magically appear on the tag, and right underneath their name it said Rank F.
"Hm red huh, it kind of suits us," Gary said as he placed the tag over his head.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, we would also like to create a guild here if possible."
One of the men who had overhead what Ray said, suddenly spat out his drink. Even Sophie started to go red out of embarra.s.sment for Ray.
"I"m sorry but creating a guild will cost you at least 5 gold coins," Sophie replied.
Ray and the others had only just become adventures and they looked incredibly young. Sophie couldn"t imagine people so young to have such wealth especially in a place like this.
"That"s fine we have the money," Ray said as he took 5 gold coins and placed them on the counter.
Suddenly everyone in the guildhall was looking in their direction. These strangers out of nowhere just placed 5 gold coins out on the table but not only that, Ray placed them like they were nothing to him.
The truth was, this small amount was nothing to Ray. At the moment Avrion didn"t have many funds as most of it was spent rebuilding the city but once it was up and running again soon this amount of money would mean nothing to Ray.
But to the others, it was the equivalent of 5000 Bronze coins or 500 silver coins. It was the same as defeating 500 intermediate beast crystal cores and would take most people a lifetime to earn.
"I"ll get right on it," Slyvia said as she rushed off to get another form.
Slyvia thought that the people in front of her must be of high importance specially to have money like that.
The form for the Guild creation was similar to last time, only this time Ray didn"t receive anything for creating the guild. It was only imputed into their database. The database was able to be viewed at any Guildhall which allowed you to see the Rank of other guilds and where and whether or not they contained their own personal guildhall.
"The last thing I need from you, what would you like to call your Guild?"
"The Red wings."
As soon as Ray said those words the whole room had gone silent and even Sophie"s face had dropped into fear.
"Do you have a death wish calling your guild that name?" A man said.
The atmosphere suddenly went dark and Ray had no clue why.
