Chapter 727: Prestigious Position
The turtle man called Alvin guided my entire group through the most important parts of the city that are located at the harbor and the center of the city where the Guilds are located.
On this island there are only 3 Guilds, these would be the Commerce Guild, the Adventurers Guild, and the Mages Guild.
By Alvin's explanation, most of the population of this island are young people between 14 and 30 years old who are here for training, besides that, almost all of them belong to some religion.
For this reason, there are many churches and temples on this island, but they are far from the city center, it is also one of the reasons why fighting inside the city is prohibited, but conflict is allowed by other means such as discussions, games, betting and other forms conflict where no one gets hurt.
They do this to promote the rivalry that different religions often have while encouraging their own empowerment.
The Guilds that are allowed on this island aim to link this island with the rest of the world, thanks to this island having 9 different Dungeons many rare materials can be found here.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
The Adventurer's Guild posts quests that mostly come from other parts of the world to collect materials that can be found on the island.
The Commerce Guild buys the surplus materials to sell elsewhere in the world for prices that can reach up to five times the value, they are also responsible for bringing various products from all over the world to be sold to the people residing on the island.
The Mages Guild produces various magical items and does magical research with materials that are only found here, it also serves as a training ground for theoretical mages from other continents or combat mages who are not related to any religion.
This entire island was thought to be a neutral training center for everyone, so even discrimination is a serious crime here.
In addition to what Alvin told us, I also asked a few questions whose answers surprised me.
I asked about the government of the island and Alvin said that there is no government, this island belongs to someone who allows people to train here as long as they follow the rules Alvin told them about, but other than that they don't require anything else.
There are many Turtle men like Alvin on the island, they seem to be natives and only supervise that these rules are followed, they also serve as mediators for various types of conflicts or judges for their competitions.
There seems to be no such thing as taxes in this place as almost the entire population here is just passing through.
Alvin doesn't say who the person the island belongs to is, but I imagine it must be someone powerful to be able to keep all these religions submissive while they're on his island.
I saw her face go pale as the lead Vampire spoke her name and not mine, so before she dragged me into her troubles I hid in the shadow of Nix who was beside me.
It was a little funny to see her looking around looking for me, but the glint of anger in her eyes at the end had me worried.
Sigh
Sigh
"Please stand up Mr Vladimir the Third." (Vanessa)
"I appreciate your welcome, but this is not the best place or time for something like this." (Vanessa)
After sighing twice, Vanessa shifts to a more dignified posture as she speaks calmly to the people kneeling in front of our group.
Their leader who introduced himself first looks around before getting to his feet and bowing to Vanessa one last time.
"Sorry for causing this commotion, but when I heard about your arrival I couldn't think straight." (Vladimir the Third)
"Don't worry Mr Vladimir." (Vanessa)
He looks at Alvin and then the rest of our group, he even glances at Nix's shadow where I was hiding for a few seconds longer, then introduces himself to everyone before looking back at Alvin.
"Looks like I interrupted your presentation of the city to them, I apologize Mr Alvin." (Vladimir)
"Alright Mr Vladimir, if everyone accepts we can go to the Temple of Blood later." (Alvin)
"I would like this." (Vanessa)
"That would be our honor." (Vladimir the Third)
After that Vladimir and his group of Vampires said goodbye to leave for the Temple of Blood for Alvin to continue guiding us.
