Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 276 - 276- Sky Seekers Guild (Part 3)

"Of course, we have small booklets we hand over to newcomers to learn more about the Sky Seekers Guild and its operations." The receptionist said as she handed Talon one of the booklets she pulled out from a drawer next to her and continued. "Do read it carefully and then feel free to come back here if you find what we offer attractive enough for you."

Talon stared at the booklet for a moment before he nodded his head. "I understand." He said.

"You can sit down there and read it. It's not that long." Emino added with a smile. "I'm gonna talk to someone meanwhile if you don't mind."

"Yeah, that's fine," Talon said as he turned around, walked to one of the empty seats and sat down to read. 'This thing feels like a travel agency booklet, haha.' He thought to himself.

Opening the booklet, he started reading silently. Some time passed before Talon finally reached the end of the booklet. At that point, his expression was a mix of confusion and seriousness.

'Well, this is somewhat close to what I expected.' He thought ho himself.

The booklet naturally told him mostly the same things Emino had said. The Sky Seekers Guild was an organization that worked mainly on protecting the human strongholds in the world from all the monsters that tried to attack them.

They also have a secondary role of scouting and mapping the entire world for travelers. Apparently, they have a distant goal of making traveling through the desert possible without the need for protection.

Naturally, that sounded like such a ridiculous idea considering how massive this world was and how much distance they had to cover simply to travel from one place to another. But, what could a massive organization like the Sky Seekers Guild be without a noble, higher-than-life goal?

If anyone else had seen this, they would think that this organization had humanity as its highest priority. But, what they hid was that, it didn't matter what kind of thing they had to do, as long as it was beneficial to their goals, even if that included massacring an entire race of peaceful people.

The other important detail he noticed was that there was a weird ranking system in Sky Seekers Guild. As newcomers, they had to go through a hard test to get qualified to become Sky Seekers. Then, they get a Novice badge as their first position.

If they succeed in missions, they garner points which in turn promotes them higher and higher. Squad Captains was the highest position one could get.

'So Emino is indeed an important individual... Interesting.' Talon mused as he rubbed his chin.

'What I find weird is, there is no mention of the rest of the blue tower and how it functions.' He thought to himself as he looked above him.

As far as the booklet read, the blue tower was just the headquarters for the guild and nothing else. But, that made no sense since the blue tower also worked as a protective barrier for the city with the blue blood.

Since this particular detail was important, he expected the guild to boast about it or at least mention it briefly considering its one of the main layers of defense this city has.

'Something is off...' He squinted his eyes as he looked around him. 'If they didn't mention such an important detail, then are they hiding something? The entire 'Blue Rain' thing is already quite weird. How does it keep pumping blue blood this entire time? And more importantly, who is killing this many worms just to provide the necessary blood?'

The more he thought about it, the more confused he got. There was certainly a missing detail he didn't go through.

'I need to investigate further.' He thought to himself as he finally looked up again. He saw Emino approaching him after a while.

"Are you done?" The man asked.

"Yeah, I read it all."

"So, what do you think? You like it?" Emino's eyes shone with anticipation of what Talon had decided.

"... Well, this sounds really interesting, I'm not going to lie."

"It is, isn't it? Not only that, but it pays well too. Most Sky Seekers are rich folks now, enjoying life while working. You can definitely change your life and your brother's life working here." Emino added.

'He really wants me to join, huh?' Talon thought to himself as he looked at the booklet again. 'It did mention money and payment too. There are bonuses for completing missions successfully or doing certain tasks with great efficiency. I can definitely earn a lot of money from here.'

One of the most important things Talon lacked currently was, of course, money. In such a massive city, living without a source of income was going to be hard. Even if he can somehow figure things out for a month, there is no guarantee Arryn can handle such a life.

So, he needed to earn money first, and then things would start opening up for them one after the other.

"Did you decide?" Acrypha asked curiously as she peeked over his shoulder.

"Yeah. I guess the choice was already obvious from the start. I was just prolonging it longer than usual." Talon sighed as he stood up.

"Let's go." He said to Emino.

The two then went back to the receptionist. "Well, that was quick, Mr Talon." She said.

"Yeah, I was quite impressed by what this place offers and what it does."

"Thank you. We try our best to work hard for our people." She said with a professional smile. "So, I assume you're going to sign up?" She asked.

"Yes, I want to join the Sky Seekers Guild." He said with a serious look on his face. One that Emino and the receptionist mistaken for one of determination when in reality, Talon was simply contemplating what kind of hideous things he was going to unravel once he got deeper into this new rabbit hole.

'Let's hope it's not that bad.'

After that, Talon had to go through a long procedure to sign up. He had to sign many papers and contracts which took him a long time to read through and make sure nothing was fishy. He almost wanted to bang his head on the wall from how long it was.

After that, he was given a number and was told to move to one of the laboratories inside the building. There, they took some of his blood and did some tests to make sure that he was in good shape and eligible to join the Sky Seekers Guild. Talon was worried that they might discover something about him from these blood and physical tests, but luckily, it didn't show anything weird about him.

Then, after that, he was handed a uniform prepared previously for newcomers who wanted to join and was told to come here again tomorrow for the real test. From what he heard, thousands of people try to join the Sky Seekers Guild on a monthly basis and most of them fail due to this particular test.

He heard that it was quite difficult, and even Emino warned him of it. But, Talon wasn't that worried. If this test wasn't outright impossible, then he knows he can complete it.

With that, he was finally allowed to leave the blue tower. By that time, the sun had already set on the horizon.

"Damn, I didn't expect it to take this long." He murmured as he stretched his sluggish limbs. "That was so annoying."

"I'm glad you didn't destroy the entire place in frustration," Acrypha commented jokingly.

"I was this close to doing that, trust me."

"Well, what stopped you?" She asked as she floated in front of him.

"Very simply. Whenever I get frustrated, I just look at you... It helps a lot with keeping me calm and collected, to a certain extent." He said with a smile.

Acrypha blinked in surprise, clearly taken aback by his comment before she finally smiled. "Is that so?"

"Yeah, haha."

With that, Talon turned to Emino. "Well, thank you for helping me today. I feel bad you had to waste your day off on this." He said. Throughout the entire process, Emino was there to help explain things whenever he saw Talon getting lost.

He actually made it a lot faster than it could've been and Talon felt rather grateful for that.

"Don't worry about it. I had fun helping out. Don't forget to tell the others that I brought you here first once you hit it big, hahaha!" Tappin Talon on the shoulder, Emino turned around to leave.

But, at the last second, the young man called for him. "Hey, one last thing." He said, remembering something he wanted to do.

"Hm? What?"

"Can you... Ehem, can you tell me where the nearest library is?"
