Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 57: Adventurer's Guild Part One

Alicia leaned forward in her seat as she excitedly waited to hear more about the Adventurer's Guild. "As I said before ranks are graded as F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,and SSS. All new Adventurer's start at F rank. Squires also start off at this rank if they have never joined the Adventurer's guild before becoming a squire. Normal Missions for an F rank range from collecting medical herbs or hunting certain demonic beasts. Once you complete a mission you will be given a certain amount of guild points or normally referred to as GP. Alongside this GP you will also get the Cors reward as well.

"Once you gain enough GP and pass the advancement test you will then be promoted to the next rank. If I remember correctly going from F to E requires one thousand GP. Now the test itself is based on your skill in battle. You will be led to a room that will use illusion magic to create a real life scenario. These scenarios change every time and not a single one is the same. This is to make it so people can not cheat. Some of these tests can take days or even months to pass.

"Once you become a squire. You will end up doing missions for the Adventurers Guild for training. Before that though, you will be given three months of personalized training from actual knights. Some of this training will be held in a classroom as well as field training. Most of this you have already done since you have been trained by Master Berlin himself. But after your three month training course, you will need to start taking missions from the Adventurer's Guild. This is normally a two year endeavor and also gains you a little bit of merit points with the kingdom as well.

" While this is also the same as I said before you will also be doing a few missions with the knight's order you have been assigned to during your training. Anyway, the ranks E and D are allowed to take escort missions and other missions that are further away. Ranks C to A, you are allowed to take on missions that have a higher difficulty. For the S ranks well there are only two of them S ranked adventures and the missions for them deal with disaster ranked demonic beast.

" I guess I should explain more about some of the demonic beast rankings at the guild. " Alicia was very focused on everything King Augustus had to say. She was taking this all in like a sponge. Because all of it was useful information that she would need for future reference.

"The guild has a few rankings for certain demonic beasts. This is not based on their star ranking but on their threat to the species living in this world. So even a nine star demonic beast might have a low ranking if they do not pose a threat to anyone. Their rankings are similar to adventurers but vary a bit. They go C, B, A, Disaster, Catastrophic, and Armageddon. I will not go into the rank C, B, A demonic beast and will explain the top three. Disaster demonic beasts normally only threaten a city. A Catastrophic demonic beast can threaten an entire region and lastly Armageddon class demonic beasts threaten to destroy all life as we know it. Luckily only the Disaster type has shown up. There has never been a record of any of the other two." Alicia was really surprised to hear that there is actually such a ranking system for demonic beasts.

"Your Majesty, what is the current Disaster type demonic beast you are talking about?" Alicia asked.

"It is the demonic beasts that lead a war against the other races. This includes us, humans, as well." King Augustus answered truthfully.

"Well let's hope I do not run into them until later in the future. I do not have any questions about the Adventurer's Guild since it seems straightforward but I do have one that has been bothering me for a few days now. I was wondering if your Majesty would be willing to answer my question?" Alicia asked. It has bothered her for a while now on how Frey was a fairy and her race lived for a very long time. Alicia had no idea how long it would take Frey to grow up so she had been meaning to ask someone about this for a while now.

"Of course, any questions you have ask away!" King Augustus was very happy that Alicia was willing to ask him questions. This meant that she had opened up to him in his real form, right?

"Then your Majesty. As you can see Frey is of the fairy race. Her race lives for a very very long time, thousands of years more than any human. I was wondering what the life expectancy of humans was..." Alicia hoped her question did not sound weird but this was very important to her.

"That is a good question and not many books would cover this kind of information. Humans who still have a Magi Sack are considered to be in the infant stages of their nourishment. Once it reaches a certain nourishment it the Magi Sack will break causing the flow of Magicule's to spread throughout your body nourishing it. Normally a magic sack break takes around fifty years for most. For me, it happened when I was thirty five. Believe it or not, I am over one hundred and forty years of age. Once the Magi Sack breaks it will form a magic domain within your body where the Magicule will start to turn into a liquid and form a pool. The more liquid you form will not only help boost the strength of the magic you are casting but it will also be used to nourish your body inside and out. This slows down the aging process big time.

"To put this all into a proper perspective let me say it like this. A one star Magician will live to be around three hundred years old. A two star magician will live to be seven hundred years old. A three star one thousand five hundred years of age and it just keeps getting higher with each rank. I am a four star magician which means I can live up to three thousand years. Now, this is based on the fact that we nourish our bodies by taking in magicules every day. Those that are not born with any Magicules only have a life expectancy of eighty to one hundred and twenty years.

"I should also add this only applies to Humans. Other races have different lifespans that are also affected by not only their Magi Points but also their race. Frey, for example, can live for tens of thousands of years. There really is no telling how long a fairy can live for. As for you Alicia. I heard from Master Berlin. You were given the title Infinity star Magician. He said you have so many Magi Points that it is impossible to count. So no need to worry about Little Frey because her mother will be around for a long time." King Augustus said while giving Alicia a warm smile.
