Chapter 212 World's Peak
Eisen continued testing his new skill out for a little while, merely using it to inspect some other people in the room as well. One thing that he found out was that he could focus on specific aspects of someone's appearance, and that would then save that data as well, like for example all the essential information you would need before making someone clothes, such as the different circumferences of someone's body like around the hip or chest.
Then again, it didn't seem to work if the other person was wearing something very loose that hid a lot of their figure, which did make sense to an extent. It was just a little bit easier to figure those sizes out, and he wouldn't need to go and directly measure anything.
Eisen also tried to test the other new ability that his Truth-Seeing Eyes gained, the visualization. Using visualization, he could basically 'Imagine' some different ideas. For example, he was able to see Evalia wearing the hood and mask that he would make for her in advance, to see if they should modify anything about it.
He would most certainly be able to use this ability quite well in the making of the ship. If he could make something like Xenia's 'Mana Spectacles' that would show the workers what they needed to do directly, it would certainly, for sure boost efficiency quite a lot. Eisen could not only show them what different shape pieces of the ship needed to be, but he could also let everyone know the proper method of setting everything together.
Even if those things couldn't be used to show the workers what Eisen intended, he would at least maybe be able to show the other Originals what he was thinking about in terms of what the ship should generally look like and then get their ideas on it. This Visualization ability would definitely come in handy! As expected of his second Occupation skill!
While Eisen was still playing around with this ability a little bit to see its limits, Xenia and Jyuuk came into the room at basically the same time. "You're level 100?" Jyuuk asked immediately, broadly grinning as he did so, and Eisen slowly nodded his head in response.
"Mhm, I am. I was sketching a few different things out and then ranked up my Drawing skill, which was the last thing I needed to finish my Level-up quest." Eisen explained as he stood up and deactivated his Truth-Seeing Eyes skill, before looking at the other originals with a smile.
"Now, what do we need to make a Guild?" Eisen asked, before Jyuuk, who was tasked to figure all of those requirements out considering that it was his idea in the first place, spoke up. "It's just a new status option now. Like you'd open your physical status, you can now open a Guild window. Just like that, we can found our guild as long as we have at least five people, one of which has to be Level 100. The one that controls the whole process will become the Guildmaster. That's it. I couldn't find out much more without actually founding a guild. Oh, and you need this here, it's a Guild Scroll." The Monkey-Beastperson explained, handing Eisen a blank piece of paper, which the old man slowly looked over.
"It's like a Magic Contract that's needed to found a guild. We could use the one that the Guild Administration sells, but I found a High-Level scribe that created a custom Guild Scroll. We probably wouldn't be able to do what we want under the Guild Administration." Jyuuk explained, and Eisen slowly nodded his head, opening the Guild window just like Jyuuk suggested.
There, he found a small option that was lightly glowing with a white border around it, showing that it is currently available. It was merely the 'Found Guild' option. Slowly, Eisen tapped that option, before another window appeared.
[Do you want to use the Guild Scroll to write up a Guild Founding Contract?]
Quietly, Eisen thought 'Yes,' before the scroll that he was currently holding began to glow before that glow suddenly disappeared.
Slowly, Eisen unrolled that scroll and laid it out on the table next to where the five of them stood, slowly reading over the contract. It didn't have anything special clauses in it other than 'pledges' to the God that held power over these guilds, which was simply a necessity to have inside of this Guild Scroll to have it work. Other than that, it didn't have any special conditions and would allow them to found the guild. At the bottom of the contract were different free spaces.
One ample space for the Guild name, directly underneath an area for the Guildmaster to sign, and then underneath that four spaces for the other founding members to sign. Since it could be signed in anything, Eisen swiftly grabbed an ink-pen from Sky's bedside to use.
"Alright, we're using the name that Eisen suggested, right?" Xenia asked excitedly, before the others swiftly nodded their head before Eisen slowly wrote down what they agreed on beforehand. Next, Eisen signed the contract at the space for the Guildmaster and then handed the pen to the others, who swiftly signed as well in their respective spots.
The moment that Brody placed the pen down next to the Contract as the last person that signed it, the paper caught fire at its edges and only after a few seconds, the contract was utterly vaporized without a single hint that it was even ever there.
[Congratulations! You founded the Guild ]
[Guild name now displayed in Status]
[Guildmaster Title Unlocked]
[As Guildmaster, you have more privileges than others. You have the right to see every bit of information available to the Guild, make decisions that control its fate, and be the one that decides over who joins your Guild under what position. For more information, see the personal Guild Window]
With a smile, Eisen waved these notifications away and looked at his friends. "Now then, what next?" He asked as he crossed his arms while opening the Guild Window and slowly browsing through it before Jyuuk smiled.
"Next we should recruit all the others into the Guild and then get to work with the ship!" He exclaimed with a smile before Evalia shook her head. "No, no! First, we should figure out our Guild Insignia!" She exclaimed, before Eisen nodded his head.
"Yeah, let's do that. It's going to take a little while longer until we have all the materials for the ship anyway." Eisen pointed out, then looking at the Guild Window again. "And it's asking me to set a Guild Insignia as well. And we should probably figure out administrative things at some point…" Eisen loudly sighed as he scratched the back of his head after seeing all the different information in this window.
"Administrative Things?" Jyuuk asked, confused before Eisen nodded his head as if it was obvious. "Yes, of course. First off, are we going to let anyone into the guild? Do we want it to be a huge Guild for everyone, or just a small cozy Guild for people close to us? Then if it's the former, how should we handle that? Of course, it's only going to happen when we're at the islands since we'll need something like a Guild-Hall as well. We couldn't all personally take care of every single Guild Member. What would conditions to join be? There's also an option for Guild-Branches as well, which I'd like to look into." Eisen explained, already feeling somewhat annoyed with all the work that would end up going into this now that he took a closer look. "But the best way to start is, of course, the Guild Insignia, just to control the chaos a little bit." He then added before Evalia nodded her head with a grin, taking out her notebook and flipping to one page where she sketched something up already.
In its style, it was somewhat similar to the coins that everyone was wearing, but what was displayed was different from what everyone had on their coins. With this design, Evalia took the name quite literally and sketched up a mountain that shot through the clouds, with the sun directly behind the peak. "Do y'all like it?" She asked with a smile as she showed the sketch around.
And since everybody was delighted with this Design, Evalia chose to sit down at some point and finalize the sketch, turning it into something proper. Just before he waved the Guild Window away, the door to the room opened, and in came a particular young merchant with dark red hair.
"Oh! You're all here!" Komer exclaimed as Sky and Kiron followed him into the room. With a smile, Eisen then nodded before looking at the Guild Window again to look at the option about recruiting other people. He swiftly got some information merely telling him that he would need a 'Guild Recruit Contract' for that, so he turned to Sky and Xenia, the only ones here with the scribe skill.
"Yes, we're all here, and we just founded our Guild. I want to recruit everyone here, but for that, we need a special contract. Can you two figure something out?" Eisen asked before the two of them looked at each other and nodded. "Sure we can. How many contracts do we need?" Xenia asked, before Eisen shrugged.
"As many as possible, I guess. At least one for everyone in each of our parties." The old man explained, before getting an idea. "How do you make contracts like that?" He asked, and Sky began to explain.
"We need Mana-Infused Ink, some nice, clean paper, and then we need to write out the contract with the conditions, I guess. If you want a Guild Recruit Contract, then… Well, I'm not sure exactly what should go into that besides the basic Guild stuff. Some Private Guilds regularly pay the ones they recruit, although that's not necessary, I guess."
"Then could you automate that? For example, with a printing press?" Eisen asked, and Sky immediately nodded. "Yes, that should be possible. At least if you enchant the press with the scribe skill, I should be? But anyway, to finalize the contract, both the Guildmaster, or a proxy to the Guildmaster, and the recruited need to sign the contract. I read up a little bit about Magic Contracts like this in the library." The Fey-Kin boy explained, already trumping over Jyuuk's knowledge that he gathered for the past few weeks.
"Alright, got it. That shouldn't be an issue then. Anyway, I think it says we have a limit of 25 people in our Guild right now?" Eisen asked before it was Jyuuk's moment to shine again since he did actually know something about this particular topic.
"Ah, yes! Guild have ranks as well! Right now, we're Rank 0, and to become a Rank 1 Guild and be able to rank up from then on, we need a guild base where we can place our-"
"Guild Core?" Eisen asked with a grin as he interrupted the Beastperson, who then swiftly nodded his head. "Yeah, how'd you know?" Jyuuk asked, surprised before Eisen shrugged. "I just noticed that there's a lot of things like that with a core. Towns, Dungeons, and Guild as well. I think we'll be fine for a little while then." Eisen chuckled, relieved that he would be able to get some excellent, proper help through a Core Guardian that he could connect to the Guild Core. Apparently, they were like assistants related to that specific type of core, and if Eisen had an assistant for Guild-stuff, then it would make lots of things far more straightforward than he just thought.
And he would definitely be able to figure out this somewhat complicated Guild Window with the help of a Core Guardian that apparently will naturally know all that it needs to.
