"The future?"
Fang glanced at Gia, who was clinging to him, and smiled brightly, saying, "Of course, it's to live well!"
Gia hugged Fang's arm, silent.
Everyone present felt that Gia was very dependent on Fang, who had saved her.
She would definitely follow Fang.
Luis saw Adrian look over, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and slowly said, "First, find a job that can sustain life, and then slowly ponder the question of 'where do I come from, and where am I going?'"
Megan and the other two exchanged glances, then silently walked behind Adrian , timidly saying, "We also don't know what we should do, but could you please not chase us away?
We will go out and find jobs to support ourselves, just like Lia and the others, and we won't be a burden to you!"
Yesterday, they stayed in the same room as Lia—not to save money, but just to help them sleep more soundly.
Lia and Lora told them a lot about this world.
When they heard that this world still had many monsters like Goblins, and that humans were at a disadvantage, the three women were terrified.
Also, they had met Adrian .
In their most desperate moment, it was Adrian who rescued them.
Just as Gia depended on Fang, who had saved her.
Adrian 's position in the hearts of the three women was also very high.
The feelings of the three women were not adoration, but a pure regard for Adrian as their savior.
Adrian looked at the three women's expectant gazes, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not chasing you away! Rather, I'm actually looking forward to you all staying!"
"Oh?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
When Adrian spoke just now, they all thought he meant to send them off.
Everyone's expenses were paid by Adrian .
Megan and the others might not have felt it yet, but Fang and his two companions had lived in the slum for a few days and knew well the difficulty of earning money!
So, Fang and Luis had both planned to leave, not wanting to burden Adrian .
Unexpectedly, Adrian said he hoped they would stay.
Seeing everyone's questioning gazes, Adrian began to explain.
Ever since Adrian learned that the Angomelos Continent had no Adventurers, he had always wanted to establish an Adventurers' Guild!
Before, he had neither money nor strength.
But now, he had collected over a hundred silver coins from Harry.
Yesterday, he also found various items in the Goblins' bags he had killed, which he estimated could sell for dozens of silver coins—it was a pity that those weapons couldn't be brought back, otherwise, it would have been another large sum of money recovered.
Now, Adrian 's total wealth was almost two gold coins.
To establish an Adventurers' Guild, he could first apply for a Mercenary Corps license from the Viscount's people.
After inquiring, Adrian already knew that registering a Mercenary Corps required a fee of fifty silver coins!
However, only Professionals could apply to establish a Mercenary Corps, and the number of members must be five or more.
Now Adrian had the money, but he had no Professional seal, and no people!
Leaving Megan and the others aside for a moment, Fang and Luis were ready-made combat power.
They could escape from Goblins even before becoming Professionals.
After becoming Professionals, their strength would definitely be even greater.
"So, you mean you'll pay for us to go to Valkam City to find a mentor, become Professionals, and then join your Adventurers' Guild?"
Fang said excitedly, "You absolutely must find me! From the moment I heard about the existence of Professionals, there hasn't been a moment I haven't wanted to become one."
Luis was also somewhat moved.
Becoming an ordinary person was also a last resort.
In Gruer Town, it was very difficult to earn money.
But the outside world was unknown to them.
Even if they could save money to become Professionals, they didn't know when that would happen.
Now that Adrian was willing to offer help and invited them to join his team, this was also a good thing for Fang and Luis .
As for Adrian 's character...
The two of them knew the strength of Goblins all too well.
Would someone who risked his life to venture into a Goblin nest to save the three women, Megan , be a bad person?
Lia, hearing that Adrian was willing to provide financial support, immediately expressed her desire to join.
She had previously asked Uncle Lunn to sponsor her to become a Professional, but he had always refused.
Adrian 's words were exactly what she wanted.
"Do Professionals have to fight monsters?" Natalie , with her shoulder-length short hair, asked timidly from the side.
"Of course!" Adrian nodded heavily.
He needed to gather five people now.
The current candidates, besides himself, were Fang, Luis , and Lia, leaving one more person needed.
As an initial team, Adrian still hoped it would be composed of his own people.
Besides them, if one more person came from the remaining five women, they could meet the standard for applying for an Adventurers' Guild.
But Professionals were, after all, a profession that required fighting monsters, which came with great danger.
Adrian also hoped that everyone present would understand the meaning of becoming a Professional.
After hearing Adrian 's affirmative answer, the faces of the girls who had been persecuted by Goblins turned pale.
Wendy asked with trembling lips, "We just barely escaped, why not choose to be an ordinary person?"
Gia also glared at Adrian at this moment, as if blaming him for dragging Fang into a pit.
Adrian looked at Wendy 's slender body and said seriously, "Angomelos is not a world where if you want to be an ordinary person, it will grant you an ordinary life!
Lia and Lora just wanted to work ordinarily in the tavern, but they were harassed and bullied by villains like Harry.
Didn't Tasha, who was captured by Goblins like you, want to live an ordinary life?
But her village was attacked by monsters, and after barely escaping, she was captured by Goblins again.
Didn't those people in the slum of Gruer Town want to live ordinary lives?
When monsters destroyed their villages and towns, their only choice as ordinary people was to become refugees!
In this world, monsters are powerful.
Humans are barely holding on under the monsters' attacks.
In such an environment, wanting to live an ordinary life?
That is inherently an extraordinary idea."
Wendy was speechless by Adrian 's words.
Although she really wanted to say that she was scared and didn't want to fight.
But when she looked up and saw Adrian 's eyes, she couldn't speak for a long time.
Adrian walked in front of Megan and the other two, and continued, "Moreover, haven't you noticed that our group of 'anomalies' who lost their memories appearing in the church is also a very extraordinary thing?
I, him, you, are destined to be extraordinary!"
A person's strength might not be great, but their inner self must be strong.
This was a truth Adrian 's father had told him.
It was normal for Megan and the others to be frightened and traumatized after being captured by Goblins.
But Adrian didn't want them to be affected by this forever.
Even if they didn't become members of the Adventurers' Guild, Adrian hoped he could guide them out of the shadows.
Just as he had said, humans in this world had always been at a disadvantage.
Even with the Spirit Offering talent, Adrian couldn't guarantee that his future path would be smooth sailing.
If he were to die one day, he also hoped that the others would have the ability to live well.
Wendy pouted her small mouth and said aggrievedly, "I... I know, don't... don't be fierce to me!"
After speaking, she and Natalie hid behind Megan .
Megan , pushed to the front, felt Adrian 's scrutinizing gaze, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.
"I'm willing, I'm willing! Adrian , I was already willing to become a Professional; I've always wanted to get revenge on those monsters."
"Really?" Adrian looked at Megan with some doubt, "Aren't you afraid of Goblins?"
Megan said seriously, "I am afraid! That's why I need to become stronger, so I won't be afraid of them anymore!"
When she said this, not only did Adrian look at Megan with new respect, but even Fang and Luis cast admiring glances.
"Well, although five people meet the application standard, I still want everyone to become Professionals!"
Adrian 's gaze swept over Lora, Natalie , Wendy , and Gia one by one, "Even if you don't plan to fight monsters, you must have the ability to protect yourselves!"
The four women were silent for a moment, then finally nodded, indicating their agreement.
"Very good!" Adrian 's mouth curved upwards, and he was the first to extend his right hand, saying, "From today onwards, we are all brothers and sisters. We will work together, never abandon each other, and live well in this world!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then warm smiles appeared on all their faces, and the somewhat tense atmosphere from earlier was swept away.
Fang was the first to step forward, placing his right hand on top, saying, "Work together, never abandon!"
Luis : "Work together, never abandon!"
The women gathered around, placing their small hands on top one after another, and said in unison, "Work together, never abandon!"
"In two days, we will go to Valkam City with the town's caravan to establish our Adventurers' Guild!"
