Ch 191: Adventurers’ Guild

Lin Lulu picked up half a Round Plate from the table. The plate seemed to emit a faint light. She examined it carefully; some strange patterns seemed to be engraved on the half plate.

After studying it for a while without finding any clues, she wondered, “What exactly is this? Is this really a clue Ji Chuan left for me?”

Lin Lulu looked around. There was nothing special about the room. She took the item and went out.

“Ailisting? Do you know what this is?”

“Hero, the Elves have guarded this item for generations. It was granted to you by God. We don’t know what it is.”

Oh, this dead Ji Chuan still likes to play riddles! Why didn’t he just tell me directly?

Lin Lulu pouted angrily. She suddenly recalled one of Ji Chuan’s expressions.

When training at the Stronghold, he had her fight Xiao Mei. She thought the task was impossible, but she succeeded.

Although her victory was largely due to Song Ci’s reminder, her timely grasp of Light Arrow tracking was a miracle she created at the time.

The smile on Ji Chuan’s face at that time seemed to be his trust and affirmation of her.

Could this be a test Ji Chuan left for her? Does he hope she will grow again? It seems like his style.

Still so strict…

Lin Lulu sighed and looked at Ailisting again, “Was this thing originally placed here?”

“Hero, this item was reportedly found in the Elf’s Territory. However, most of the Elves have migrated to Olovia, which is currently the safest place. Outside of Olovia, there is no protection from God, and it is full of dangers from various Races.”

Lin Lulu found a clue: this Round Plate is only half. Would finding the other half solve the problem?

The other half is in the Elf’s Territory, right?

No, what if the original only had this half? But are there any other clues right now?

“Ailisting, where is the Elf Territory? Are there any other clues about this item?”

“Hero, the Elves’ former Territory is in the Elf Forest to the southeast. There is no other information.”

Even if the other half isn’t in the Elf Forest, the next clue should be found there.

Lin Lulu pondered. Ji Chuan wouldn’t give completely unrelated hints. Entering the Elf Forest is probably his test for her.

But it’s dangerous outside. How should she get there?

“Ailisting, how far is the Elf Forest to the southeast? How long will it take to get there? How can I be sure I’ve found the right place?”

“Hero, I suggest you post an escort task to the Adventurers’ Guild for the Elf Forest. You know your abilities best. You can choose some Adventurers whose abilities complement yours to explore together. That way, it will be safer, and the Royal City will grant you financial assistance.”

Ji Chuan’s help is just money, right? This is making her judge what type of teammates to find? This is also part of the test…

But what is the Adventurers’ Guild? The situation doesn’t seem that urgent. She still has time to better understand this City. And she just had a good night’s rest; she’s still a little tired.

“Hero, come with me. I’ll take you to your room and get you the funds.”

Lin Lulu followed Ailisting, once again marveling at the splendor of the Royal Palace. She felt like she was in a fairy tale. She tried to remember the way she came to avoid getting lost in the Royal Palace.

“This is it, Lord.”

Lin Lulu entered the room. This room was special. It was furnished like her room in the Stronghold. A piece of old Parchment was stuck on the bookshelf, reading “Add Oil!!!”

Lin Lulu unconsciously smiled. This dead Ji Chuan must have secretly entered her room and imitated her by posting such a note.

She had seen the words Ji Chuan wrote to Yunxi when he couldn’t speak. This note was definitely Ji Chuan’s.

Her originally somewhat fearful and apprehensive heart felt a sense of relief after seeing this Parchment.

This journey shouldn’t be too difficult, right? It can’t be harder than facing Xiao Mei…

She picked up a Backpack, packed the half Round Plate and the funds, and after saying goodbye to Ailisting, she set off towards the Adventurers’ Guild.

Since it’s about posting a bounty task, she should also need to give the Adventurers’ Guild time to recruit.

Although her clothing seemed strange in this world, no passersby gave her curious glances.

Lin Lulu couldn’t help but glance at the non-human passersby. “Wouldn’t that be impolite…”

Lin Lulu carefully walked towards her destination. The Adventurers’ Guild was near the Central Square in the Royal City. It was said that during wartime, the square would become the gathering place for Adventurer teams.

Passing the Market, Lin Lulu unconsciously slowed her pace, just like any young girl easily attracted by colorful goods.

“Beautiful lady, come and see the freshly caught Fruit Leaf Grubs! They’re plump and juicy, good for beauty and skincare! Guaranteed to burst with flavor!”

A Lizardman enthusiastically hawked to Lin Lulu, recommending what he considered his most competitive product.

Lin Lulu quickly walked away, suppressing the urge to vomit.

“Jewelry! Jewelry! We have sizes for Beastmen, Elves, and Humans! Complete styles!”

Lin Lulu was attracted by a nearby stall. What girl wouldn’t be attracted by beautiful jewelry?

She went to the Bearman’s stall and curiously looked at the various pieces of jewelry. Her eyes widened. Many beautiful gems were dazzling. Although she didn’t understand gemstones, such Making Love in her world would be very expensive.

But some jewelry was rather frightening, making her not want to look at it further, such as necklaces made from strange animal specimens.

“Ah!!”

Lin Lulu was surprised to find that those weren’t specimens. They were alive! They were moving! She quickly ran away.

“Ma’am, those are Night-Shining Spider Moths. They look beautiful at night! Just feed them some Dung Flies every day. They’re easy to keep…”

Hanging those terrifying live Insects around one’s neck? What Race is so fierce? Lin Lulu decided to hurry to the Adventurers’ Guild. The goods in this world are a bit scary.

Pushing open the Guild’s Gate, a bell jingled. Lin Lulu curiously looked around.

Adventurers of various Races chatted in twos and threes. Some stood in front of the task board, carefully looking at the commissions on the wall.

They wore various weapons. Some looked very powerful, exuding the aura of a dominator.

A few strong Tiger-people’s muscles seemed about to burst their Armor. They passed Lin Lulu, almost knocking her down.

She carefully paid attention to her surroundings, avoiding any conflict with these Adventurers.

The receptionist was a kind-looking Rabbitfolk. Seeing Lin Lulu approach, she noticed she looked unfamiliar. “Are you here to take a task or post a commission?”

“Post a commission. I want to find someone to go with me to the Elf Forest…”

As soon as Lin Lulu finished speaking, the previously noisy Adventurers’ Guild fell silent. Everyone looked over.

What’s going on? Lin Lulu sensed the change in atmosphere and felt at a loss, waiting for the receptionist’s response.
