Chapter 23

The next morning.

Shien had already woken up at daybreak.

It was not because Shien was good at waking up early, but because Shien had developed the habit of waking up early in the morning during his ten days of survival in the forest.

In the wild, it was very difficult to sleep comfortably. During those ten days, Sean would be awakened by the slightest movement or light, which made him wake up early in the morning.

Fortunately, Shien had a very comfortable sleep last night.

"Sleeping on a bed is the most comfortable."

Shien was satisfied.

So, Shien got up early to wash up and tidy himself up. He then prepared to go to the Adventurers Guild.

There were no toothbrushes or toothpaste in this world. People seemed to use a toothbrush and some unknown powder to brush their teeth. Shien, who was not used to this, had to spend a lot of effort to wash up in the morning.

Then, Shien put on the clean clothes he bought yesterday and the bag with the Holy Sword. He was ready to go on an adventure.

Looking at himself in the clothes of another world and the long bag, Shien could not help but sigh.

"Now, no one will suspect that I'm from another world."

There was no trace of the characteristics of a person from a different world on Sean. It was as if he was born and bred in this world, and had the style of this world.

"Well, it's not bad."

Shien smiled, then walked out of the hotel room and went to the Adventurers Guild.

… …

Morning at Lamegion was just as lively as yesterday. Even though it was only daybreak, the streets were already bustling with activity. The shops and stalls were filled with shouts and cries, attracting many passersby.

Fully armed adventurers were mixed in with the crowd. Groups after groups of adventurers came from the direction of the Adventurers Guild. They seemed to be getting ready to leave the city for work.

Shien looked at the scene as he headed to the Adventurers Guild with other adventurers who had the same destination.

Not long after, the square where the Adventurers Guild was located appeared in front of Shien.

Shien and many other adventurers walked into the Adventurers Guild and entered the guild hall that he had visited the day before.

Perhaps because it was still early, many adventurer parties were still gathering and choosing the quests they wanted to accept today. As a result, the Guild Hall was much livelier than the day before.

Shien walked through the crowd and went to the counter where the guild staff from the day before was working.

At this time, the staff was also working and seemed to be explaining something to a few adventurers.

However, when he saw Shien coming over, he quickly waved at Shien.

Shien immediately went to the staff.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

For the time being, Sean apologized to the other party politely.

"No, you're just in time." The staff smiled politely and said, "The adventurer group that arranged for you to join has just finished gathering. If you don't have any questions, you can go and report now."

"Got it," Shien nodded and asked, "Where is that person?"

"On the second floor, please take that staircase." The guild staff pointed to the stairs in one direction, and said to Sean, "After you go up, there will be a guild staff who will show you the way. You can just tell him to take you to see Miss Vivian."

"Vivian?" Shien was a little surprised.

It was obviously a girl's name, wasn't it?

Could it be that the adventurer group that he was going to join was led by a girl?

It wouldn't be some cliche story of meeting a beautiful adventurer, right?

Shien muttered in his heart.

Because of this, Shien didn't notice that the adventurers around him were pointing at him and whispering among themselves.

"That's him, right?"

"That's right, that's him."

"I didn't expect there would be a male adventurer who could join Miss Vivian's adventurer group."

"It's just temporary. In the end, he will be like the others, staying for a month before leaving the group, right?"

"It should be said that if he behaves himself, he can still stay for a full month. If he doesn't …"

"Hmph, you're right."

Similar conversations occurred among the adventurers around them.

Sean did not notice any of this. After asking a few questions to the guild staff, he followed the direction that the other party pointed, climbed the stairs, and went to the second floor.

The second floor of the Adventurers Guild wasn't a hall like the first floor. Instead, it was filled with rooms.

The rooms were prepared for the adventurers.

Of course, these rooms weren't for the adventurers to rest, but for official business.

For example, some commissions had to be explained to the adventurers face to face. If some clients didn't want their commissions to be posted on the bulletin board in the hall on the first floor and be seen by everyone, they had to explain and assign tasks to the adventurers individually. Moreover, there were also commissions for trading items and transporting resources. All of these required a place for the handover, and the Adventurer's Guild had prepared these rooms on the second floor.

It was said that there were people with high status who would issue secret commissions that couldn't be done in public, so they would use these rooms.

Therefore, there were many rooms on the second floor of the Adventurers Guild for adventurers and clients to use. Sometimes, the adventurers would borrow these rooms for a party meeting to discuss important matters. When the guild was in charge of some affairs related to adventurers, these rooms would also be borrowed.

The adventurer party that Shien wanted to join had borrowed a room on the second floor and gathered there, waiting for Shien to report to them.

Shien went up to the second floor and told the guild staff that he was looking for the person he was looking for. Then, he was brought to a room.

It was worth mentioning that when the guild staff in charge of leading the way heard that he was looking for a person named Vivian, he was a little surprised, and even muttered, "So it's him." This made Sean rather puzzled.

Unfortunately, the staff didn't explain further, so Shien followed him to a room.

"Miss Vivian, the newbie mentioned above is here."

The guild member in charge of leading the way said as he knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

At the next second, an unexpected gentle voice came from behind the door.

The staff opened the door and allowed Shien to see what was inside.

It was a room that looked like a private room.

The room wasn't spacious, but it wasn't narrow either. If Kieran wanted to use it temporarily, it would be considered a good place.

However, Sean, who stood in front of the door, was stunned.

This was because the person who appeared in the room surprised him again.
