  Chapter 32 Chamber of Commerce

Rhodes came to the destination of this trip, the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.

Different from the Thief Guild that Rhodes had been to before, the Free Trade Inner Guild has a very large scope. Except for several main buildings used to handle various affairs, the rest of the locations are divided into Business Group residences.

Of course, not all Business Groups are able to obtain a residency within the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. Unless it has made a considerable contribution to the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, if the Business Group wants to obtain a residence, in addition to gold coin, it also depends on the strength of its members.

Rhodes had just entered the lobby of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, and the waiting maid came up to him and asked Rhodes his intentions.

Rhodes said: "I want to go to the City of Sorrows, I hope I can go with the Business Group."

After listening, the maid asked: "Dear professional, you have Freelance Chamber of Commerce authentication?"

Rhodes understood what the maid meant. With the identity authentication of Chamber of Commerce, you can join the same Business Group and become the temporary escort of the Business Group. Guards are responsible for keeping the Business Group safe when it comes to fighting.

The Business Group pays the escort a sum of money once they arrive at their destination, but temporary escorts are usually not paid much unless they are the Business Group's resident escort.

The Freelance Chamber of Commerce has a set of rating criteria for a person's identity verification. With the increase in the number of escort tasks, coupled with the success rate of the escort, the rating will become higher and higher, from F-rank to S-Rank. The higher the rating, the easier it is to be accepted by the Business Group, and the remuneration that the Business Group needs to pay will also increase.

Rhodes recalled that in the past life, players all aimed for the Freelance Chamber of Commerce S-Rank evaluation, but few of them were able to achieve S-Rank. Reaching S-Rank, in addition to spending a lot of time escorting Chamber of Commerce, it also requires certain opportunities and its own strong strength.

Rhodes replied to the maid, "No, I just want to go there as a passenger."

The passenger is different from the guard, the guard needs to be authenticated to confirm his own strength and the performance of the guard in the past. , an experienced business group leader can often confirm whether the guard is worth hiring just by looking at the ID card. If the escort mission fails, there will also be a certain penalty from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.

Passengers do not require identification. Passengers only need to pay gold coin, and they can be taken to their destination by Business Group. When encountering a battle, the passenger does not need to fight at all.

A traveler, just a traveler led by Business Group to another city. Therefore, the Freelance Chamber of Commerce does not charge any commission for the passengers carried by the Business Group, nor does it have any management. It is entirely up to the Business Group to negotiate with the passengers themselves.

Rhodes had his own considerations for choosing to be a traveler and follow a caravan to Dia, rather than go alone after obtaining a map.

Like looking at the map drawn by Elliot before, Rhodes could not directly move towards one direction even if he knew the current location of the city, but found a river as a reference to compare with the map. Yes, that's how I found this town.

Even with a detailed map, it's easy to get lost in the jungle of repetitive scenery without the guidance of wayfinding.

even more how, there may be other situations along the way. Whether it is a looter on the road, a hidden thief, or a resident of various creatures, in order to avoid these, in addition to pathfinding, High Rank reconnaissance is also essential.

Therefore, choosing to go with the Business Group to the destination, although it will take longer, is safer than going alone.

As a passenger, Rhodes simply waits in the carriage provided by Business Group. Rhodes can also use the time on the road to do a few deep meditations. The only downside is that the gold coin required as a traveler is slightly more expensive.

After listening, the maid led Rhodes to the side hall next to him. After some inquiries, the maid told Rhodes about the situation:

"Dear professional, not long ago, a large business group has gone to the City of Sorrows and delivered a large amount of goods to the City of Sorrows. . Since the much-needed goods have been made up, not many Business Groups are willing to go to the City of Sorrows. At present, there is only one Business Group in the station that chooses the City of Sorrows."

Rhodes seemed to be what came to mind. Large business groups want to travel to a place, and in order to ensure that the journey is safe, it requires a lot of human and material resources. In such a huge situation, the movements of the large Business Group could not be concealed from the Thief Guild in the city.

Without much hesitation, Rhodes said to the maid, "Take me to this Business Group's residence."

Carrying passengers will bring various variables to the Business Group. Moreover, this approach is not necessarily safe for the passengers themselves.

Whether it is Business Group extorting travelers on the road, or killing unaccompanied travelers to get their belongings in the wilderness, or travelers colluding with thieves to kill Business Group in the dead of night, it is a common occurrence. The Freelance Chamber of Commerce doesn't care, it's up to the Business Group and the travelers themselves.

Therefore, both the Business Group and the traveler need to inspect each other before confirming. This is also the reason why travelers want to join Business Group and pay high fees.

After listening to Rhodes' request, the maid led the way and led Rhodes to the Business Group station in the rear.

The maid took Rhodes to the rear quarter and walked towards the depths. At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and when Rhodes had just entered the city, he could still see the surrounding scenery with the sky, but at this time he could only rely on the candlelight by the roadside to see things.

On the way, Rhodes asked the maid for information about this Business Group and got some information.

The name of this Business Group is Silver Seal Business Group. The core members of the Business Group are six to eight, among which is included Business Group's managers, decision-makers, and Business Group training professional. The rest are some guards who are responsible for transporting goods and hired, and the total number of members is about twenty.

The information provided by the maid seems to be extremely rich, and told Rhodes about the entire Silver Seal Business Group, but in fact these all are the most basic information, as long as Rhodes enters the station and observes a little , you can see that there is no key information in it.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the location of the Silver Seal Business Group, Rhodes took out a gold coin from the space ring and called the maid in front of him.

"Tell me, really useful information," Rhodes said, looking into the maid's eyes.

The maid took over the gold coin and said with a smile:

"Silver Seal Business Group, the head of the group is Uther, a senior warrior with a strength close to a high level. The rest of the core professionals also have senior strength. It should be noted in particular that there is a mage in the team whose strength is unknown.”
