《Soul Summoner in Isekai (LitRPG & System)》5. There is no adventurer’s guild in another world
Advertisement
Gruul Town!
The ground is covered with large stone bricks, and the surrounding buildings are full of European medieval style.
Anno asked passersby all the way and came to the market.
A chain of stalls sells different things.
There are fruit stalls, daily necessities stalls, and hawkers pushing carts to sell things.
Unlike imagined overcrowding, most of the stalls here have few customers.
Two or three customers are walking on the street, and the boring stall owners are chatting to pass the time.
Anno walked around and found a businessman who was dozing off on the cart.
After waking the other party up, Anno took out the animal tooth from his trouser pocket.
The merchant wore glasses, looked at the animal teeth for a while, and said to Anno: "Oh, this is the tooth of the gray wolf! If you think 1 silver coin is suitable, you can sell it to me. Of course, the same goes for you selling to other merchants. But I don't think anyone will charge more than 1 silver coin!"
"1 silver coin!" Anno was stunned.
Just such a tooth is actually worth 1 silver coin!
The businessman explained: "Grey wolf teeth need to be used when making evil spirit charms!"
Anno didn't know what the talisman was, but he still sold the tooth.
Putting a silver coin in his pocket, Anno asked about the location of the blacksmith shop and walked over.
There is no doubt that he wants to buy weapons and then go out to hunt monsters to earn money.
Not only to accumulate monster souls but also to collect money to heal his left hand.
Moreover, to become a professional, learning skills also costs money, and the minimum is a few silver coins!
If you don't have money, even in another world, you can't do anything.
Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Anno sighed and walked in.
Behind the bar of the store, a sturdy figure was observed with a dagger.
Hearing the sound of Anno coming in, the strong figure put down his dagger and walked out of the shadows.
As expected by Anno, the owner of the blacksmith shop is a very large and strong man.
John, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, is almost forty years old this year.
His arms are full of bulging muscles, and his face is full of transverse flesh.
From a distance, it looks like a bear, very oppressive.
The messy beard at the chin, coupled with the image of the bald head and small eyes, can scare the naked child to tears.

"What are you going to buy?"
Old John sounded like a bell, which startled Anno.
"I... I'll take a look first!" Anno swallowed and said cautiously.
Old John heard the words and ignored Anno.
Anno walked to the exhibition wall next to him and found that some farm tools were hanging on it.
Of course, there are also weapons such as daggers and short knives, but they are all short weapons.
The only long weapon is a long sword hanging on top!
The sword is one meter two long, and the hilt is about twenty centimeters.
The sword body made of fine steel flashes with cold light!
Anno's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the long sword and asked, "How much is this?"
Old John glanced at Anno.
Because the windbreaker was lost in the battle, and the short sleeves of the upper body were torn a lot to cover the left hand, Anno looked very embarrassed now.
"Steel long sword, 15 silver coins, no counter-offer!"
When Anno heard the price, the light in his eyes dissipated.
15 silver coins!
It was too expensive!
Somewhat embarrassed, he gave the owner of the weapon shop a smile, and Anno asked, "What are the weapons that sell for less than 1 silver coin in your shop?"
Hearing the words, Old John pointed to the hammers on the ground, and said, "The minimum price for iron weapons is a few silver coins. These hammers made of hundred-year-old wood cost 50 copper coins each!"
Anno grinned at the big club that was more than one meter long on the ground.
The prices here are too expensive.
Besides, what can this big wooden club do?
"Although it's not very useful to encounter some powerful monsters, it's still possible to play a slime!" Old John said when he saw Anno's question.
"Slime? How can there be a slime?" When Anno heard the news of slime, he immediately came to his senses.
The goblins in the forest are too strong, and there are many more.
Even with a steel long sword, Anno felt that it was very dangerous.
Now that I heard that there is a slime, of course, it is to bully the slime.
Seeing Anno's excited look, old John poured a basin of cold water on him.
"There are many slimes on the grassland outside the town. But slimes are not easy to deal with, and they will be seriously injured if they are not careful!"
Then Old John told Anno about slime information.

Slimes are very common monsters on the grasslands.
This kind of thing can be killed by just smashing it with a wooden stick.
Get 1 copper coin for each slime skin!
But don't think slimes are easy to deal with, or they won't flood the grasslands outside the town.
Slimes can spray corrosive acid!
If you accidentally get sprayed, you will be in trouble.
It's okay to stick to the hands and feet, apply for a little herbal medicine, and rest for ten days to half a month.
If sprayed on the face, it is likely to cause disfigurement!
And slimes are gregarious creatures, angering one will attract a group.
Ordinary people don't have armor, so they don't dare to mess with these things, and they will choose to go around when they encounter them.
The Slime's attack range is less than three meters, so farmers will not get hurt as long as they are careful and avoid them far away.
There is a certain danger, but there is only 1 copper coin to kill.
In addition, slimes usually only eat dirt and grass on the grassland, and rarely attack people.
So no one cares about this group of monsters living in the grassland.
Unless it's the harvest season, the town mayor will find a way to entrust some low-level mercenary groups to deal with these crop-destroying slimes.
After listening to Old John's words, Anno fell into contemplation but finally decided to go to the grassland to find slimes to level up.
After all, this is already the weakest monster, and it only takes a stick to kill it!
However, Anno heard the 'mercenary group' from Old John's mouth, which made him very interested.
"Excuse me, does the mercenary group refer to the adventurers of the Adventure Guild?"
Yesterday, the old priest also mentioned that professionals can join the mercenary group, which Anno forgot to ask at that time.
When it comes to other worlds, the most distinctive is of course the adventurer.
Adventurers with all kinds of dreams, kill monsters along the way, earn gold coins, fight monsters to upgrade, and finally fight the devil!
Now Anno is struggling to fight goblins, and he will definitely not fight the Demon Lord.
But there are many tasks in the Adventurer's Guild, ranging from high difficulty to low difficulty!
Before going out to fight monsters, go and see if there are any quests he can pick up.
But to Anno's disappointment, Old John's answer was that there was no Adventurer's Guild in this world, and there was no adventurer as a profession.
The only thing that can be related is the mercenary group.
The mercenary group accepts commissions and then gets paid.
From the point of view of behavior, the meaning of a mercenary group is similar to that of an adventurer.
But in reality, the two are far from each other.
First of all, the mercenary group is a group organization. You must first become a professional and pass the assessment of the mercenary group before joining the mercenary group and accepting tasks with the group.
Secondly, the mercenary group is highly rewarded for taking on tasks - after all, there are so many people to support.
It's no big deal, ordinary people don't issue commissions.
This is also the reason why no mercenary group will stay in the small town of Gruul.
Here, basically, no one will issue a commission, and the mercenary group will starve to death sooner or later!
Relatively speaking, adventurers are relatively idle occupations.
They are alone.
From slaughtering dragons and slaughtering demons, to cleaning up rats in the sewers, they all do it!
They don't know when to die in a mission.
But it didn't affect anyone else.
Except for friends, no one would care about the life and death of an adventurer.
Of course, adventurers can also form an adventurer team!
The significance of an adventurer team is similar to that of a mercenary team.
But the problem is, because of the existence of the mercenary group, there is no adventurer guild in this world, and there is no adventurer or adventurer team to deal with the slimes in the grasslands outside the town and the goblins in the forest!
Unless these goblins multiply to a size that can attack villages and towns, come out to plunder food and women, threatening the security of Gruul town.
At this time, the mayor will send someone to bring the entrustment and go to Valcam to pay the mercenary group to solve it.
All in all!
Anno wanted to become an adventurer, and the idea of taking quests to make money was in vain.
But on second thought, since there is no adventurer guild in this different world, then he can open the first adventurer guild.
Although there is no money, strength is not enough.
But with the [Sacrificial Spirit] in the body, all these will be there.
Once the Adventure Guild opens, Anno can lie down and make money!
"It's decided, I'm going to open an adventurer's guild in another world!"

The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
