Lin Ge had thought that they would be able to register as a team by paying the fee, but he did not expect that there would be a trial mission. The mission was to explore the spider cave outside the city and retrieve the spider’s venomous fangs as evidence.

If they could not complete the mission, the team that he and Lanya had formed would only be considered a temporary team. After five days, it would lose its effectiveness and they would no longer be able to obtain information and missions from the guild.

He wasn’t very interested in adventuring in this world, mainly because he didn’t want to put himself in a dangerous situation.

However, seeing Lanya’s look of anticipation, he couldn’t bear to say anything more.

After leaving the Adventurer’s Guild, Lanya asked, “Lin Ge, what kind of person do you want to be?”

“An excellent bartender and I’m already one. I’m confident that I’ll be able to reach the next level with more experience.”

Lin Ge was very confident in his talent for bartending. It had only been a spark of interest at first, but now he was completely obsessed with it. He had even left his house to live alone, all so that he could be a bartender freely.

“Not that. I’m asking you what kind of combat profession you would like to choose in this world.”

“I don’t want to fight.”

“What if you have to choose one?” Lanya wrinkled her delicate nose.

“I still don’t know what professions are available here,” Lin Ge said with a smile.

Lanya explained, “The more common ones are mages, warriors, thieves, and knights. These are just four very general categories. Each profession has a different branch. For example, mages include black magic, white magic, blood magic, necromancy, and all kinds of elemental magic. Warriors include berserkers, beast warriors, gladiators, axe fighters, and so on.”

“These profession names are just titles, mainly used to distinguish combat methods and make it easier for people to address. They have the same function as the common profession names such as chefs, hunters, and tailors.”

“There isn’t a clear distinction between the professions. For example, a muscular warrior may be able to use magic, and a mage may also be able to pick up a big sword. Of course, most people don’t have such talent, and even if they do, they’ll choose to study what they’re better at so that they can achieve higher achievements.”

“Then I’ll probably choose to be a mage,” Lin Ge replied after some thought.

“I think you’re suitable to be a mage too,” Lanya agreed, “The Mage Guild is located in the eastern urban area. I’ll take you there for a test. You might be very talented. I’ve heard that a hero from another world broke the testing crystal ball when he was doing a test at the Mage Guild because he was too talented.”

At this time, the frog’s croaking came from Lin Ge’s pocket again. He smiled bitterly, “Let’s put it off for today. It keeps croaking. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to go to that kind of place.”

Lanya imagined the scene of a frog croaking in the noble and elegant Mage Guild and felt that it was indeed inappropriate. They might even be driven out.

“That’s true. Then let’s go tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Lanya left in a good mood, her steps light and happy. With the gold coins that Lin Ge had given her, she was thinking of going to the magic restaurant that she had always wanted to go to for a big meal.

Lin Ge followed the path he had come from and unhurriedly walked towards the bar. As he walked, he enjoyed the ambiance of another world’s main street.

As he walked past the entrance of an alley, the sound of armor colliding came from the narrow alley. A golden-red figure suddenly pounced out of the alley.

He stared at the figure in surprise.

“Prince Lieyang?”

At this time, Prince Lieyang had lost his previous pride and calmness. His shiny golden armor was stained with blood, and he was gasping for breath with his fangs bared. He looked extremely pathetic.

Prince Lieyang also saw Lin Ge.

“Mr. Bartender, save me!”

As if he had seen his savior, he rushed forward and grabbed Lin Ge’s arm.

“Save you? What’s happening?”

I don’t have time to explain. Just take me to the Emeralds bar.”

Lin Ge looked into the dark alley, but there was nothing there. Prince Lieyang had already started running in the direction of the bar, and Lin Ge quickly caught up.

“Is someone hunting you down?”

Prince Lieyang replied as he ran, “That’s right. There are many people on this street, so it’s not easy for them to make a move. Once I go to a place with fewer people, they’ll definitely make a move again. All my guards have been killed by them.”

Lin Ge suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to chase after Prince Lieyang. If the assassins in the dark found out that he was with the lizardman Prince, he might be implicated.

Now that things had come to this, it was too late to regret.

The two of them ran to the entrance of the Emeralds bar. Lin Ge took out the key and stuffed it into the lock. Because he had run all the way here, he had used a little more force when doing so.

Suddenly, he heard a soft voice in his ear, “Ah, it hurts! Brat, can you be gentler?”

Lin Ge’s movements paused, and he turned to Prince Lieyang, “You’re still in the mood to joke when you’re being hunted down?”

Prince Lieyang shook his huge lizard head and pointed at the wooden door of the bar in disbelief, “It’s not me, it’s the door.”

“The door?” Lin Ge was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “You mean the door was speaking? Don’t joke around, how is that possible?”

At this moment, the sharp voice came from the door again, “If you want to open me, hurry up. Can you not leave the key sticking in me?”

Lin Ge’s hand trembled and the wooden door in front of him opened.

It really was the door that was speaking!

“It’s really you? The door can talk?”

“Can you quickly pull it out? A country bumpkin who has never seen the world.”

Lin Ge awkwardly pulled out the key and walked into the bar with Prince Lieyang. Then, he closed the door.

At this moment, the door spoke again, “As you can see, I’m not an ordinary door. I’m a magic door with wisdom that can lead to different worlds.”

Lin Ge gradually calmed down. So what if a door that led to another world could speak?

It was normal. Everything was normal.

“Mr. magic door, how may I address you?”

“Name? I don’t have a name. Have you ever seen a door that needs a name? If you want to call me something, just call me the door spirit. Also, don’t call me Mr, I don’t have any gender differences.”

“Alright, door spirit.”

After entering the bar, Prince Lieyang relaxed.

“This tavern is indeed not simple. Those guys will definitely not be able to find this place.”

“The people hunting you down are outside,” The door spirit said.

“They can’t get in, can they?” The Prince asked nervously.

“Don’t worry, it’s not business time now. Even the Gods of this world can’t come in. They are wondering where you went.”

Prince Lieyang relaxed completely.

“You can stay here for the night,” Lin Ge said, “Go out after they leave.”

He opened the door and returned to his own world. It was the latter half of the night, and the city was shrouded in darkness. The street lights illuminated the empty streets.

The sound of armor shaking came from behind him. He turned around and found that Prince Lieyang had also followed him out.

“Why did you follow me out?”

Prince Lieyang shrunk his neck and said, “When I’m alone in the shop, I keep feeling a gloomy feeling in there, which gives me a bad feeling. Let me hide in your world.”
