The trio went inside Moonshine Village though only one of them could be really seen. According to Lycan, only the village chief and three families in this village are werewolves. The reason that the village is named Moonshine is due to the fact that they produce an alcohol that is named Moonshine.
Moonshine is basically the alcohol that is the special product and main source of income of the village. Adrian wanted to try the alcohol but he is still underage but that would change tomorrow because it would be his birthday which means he turns 18.
Alcohol is very present in the game due to one race that loves it and that is the dwarves. There is a saying in the dwarves’ hometown which is ‘If you cannot forge well then you must brew well’. Alcohol is also a bargaining chip for some NPCs that love them.
It was even reported that a player managed to score a legendary item chest because he escorted an unknown NPC to a bar that made great alcohol. This report made the players who are legal age scour the continent to find the best liquor and buy them from those stores.
Not only does becoming of legal age unlock the alcohol item but it also allows the player to visit certain parts of the city which has been prohibited before. The player still has the discretion if he wanted to visit those sections of the game though as it is not a must.
Legal ages also vary depending on the country of origin which is why Adrian’s country uses 18 as the legal age while others are age 14 or as high as the age of 21. Moonshine Village is like any other village upon closer inspection. The only thing different is the large warehouses that is used to make the Moonshine. It seems that every family has a different brewing method.
“The villagers here seem to be fine and happy as smiles could be seen from their faces. I know that this village is not that close to Arkadia but they do not look like people who would plan a revolt.” Adrian muttered quietly so that only the two in spirit form could hear him.
“You would think that but what you are looking at right now might not be werewolves and just ordinary humans. Werewolves will mainly be hunters that hunt for game so that they can curve their hunger for blood.” Lycan stated.
“Is there like a meter where you like see if you get pent up or something?” Adrian asked but he knows that meters like that would only be available to players. .𝒎
“I do not actually but every time that I kill a monster, there is this type of feeling that gets alleviated somehow like I get calm.” Lycan answered.
“So, it is like the Daemos when space or time becomes anomalous. It is not indicated that we have that ability as a skill, but something ingrained into the character.” Adrian thought.
“You should go and get hunting missions so that you can get close to the other werewolves. They would be able to smell that you are one of them if that happens.” Lycan stated.
“Good thing that I possess the Weapon Mastery skill or else this plan would already be down the drain.” Adrian replied as he looked for the Adventurers Guild that every settlement has.
Adventurers Guilds in Pandemonium is more like a guild that profits on selling monster parts or rare medicines. Villages like this one should have one but only in small scale. The capital cities though have an Adventurers Guild building that rival that of the Merchant Guild’s building.
Adrian managed to find a small shack that has a wooden signboard with the letters saying ‘Adventurers Guild’ written on it. There was not even a door present in the simple shack probably due to the confidence of the person in charge or the establishment being open all the time.
Adrian stepped foot inside and immediately an aura of ferociousness suddenly assaulted him as numerous individuals eyed him down. The stares came from three people inside the small shack that are chatting while sitting at a small circular wooden table.
“Those three are werewolves. They could probably smell the stench of a werewolf from you. We are the territorial kind, so they tried assessing your strength by releasing their hidden bloodlust at you. Act like you are frozen. I did get that hair strand from a werewolf that is only about level 40 after all.” Lycan stated.
Adrian did as he is instructed and acted like he froze due to fear. He pretended to regain his senses when he heard the clerk at the Adventurers Guild call him out. The aura of ferociousness directed at him also vanished the moment he was asked by the clerk.
“Do you need something, young lad? You are not lost, are you? Our sign clearly states that this is the Adventurers Guild despite the establishment being rather shabby.” The Adventurers Guild Clerk stated as he knows that not many from a village that produced alcohol comes to their establishment.
“I am actually looking for work as I am now an orphan due to my village being attacked by bandits. My parents were adventurers and they always told me stories of their past before they decided to retire after having me. Sadly, they did all they can so that I could run away from the bandits.
I have been drifting from place to place ever since. I just happen to pass by this village to restock on money as my saving are rather tight right now.” Adrian stated as he concocted a story just on the top of his head. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
If the people in the Adventurers Guild could see invisible people right now, then they would see that Solstice is clapping her hands like no tomorrow. Even she almost cried due to the sob story that Adrian told with great acting. Lycan however did not buy any of it and just saw a newbie actor trying to land a role he could not get even with his life.
