Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 534 - 483 Joining

At this moment in the room, everyone was chatting while Kane was drinking beer with Longbei Burton.

Then Kane felt something, got up, and walked toward the door.

There was also a knock on the door from outside.

At this time, among the people Kane invited, the last batch should have arrived.

Opening the door, standing outside were indeed two squads.

Moreover, these two squads together were very distinctive, all composed of some rare and uncommon races.

Half-blood Snake Woman, Demon, Puppet Girl, Little Elf.

Compared to horned Beastmen, they seemed relatively ordinary.

"Come in quickly, we’ve been waiting for you."

After saying that, he stepped aside, fully opening the door.

A green figure flew into the room like a light arrow.

"Sister Lulu!"

"Philis, long time no see."

The two little ones happily embraced mid-air, swirling around.

Kane could clearly see the traces of travel on Amis and the others: "You’ve had a hard journey, coming all the way from such a distance."

"Being invited to join your guild, it’s us who should be thankful."

"Haha, alright then, come in and have a seat."

Kane said with a smile.

Then he reached out to shake hands with Raphael standing behind them: "Long time no see for you too."

Saying this, the two of them gave each other a brief hug with one arm.

No one would talk about what happened in the dungeon, let alone a dungeon where no one died.

Sometimes Explorers must distinguish between what happens in dungeons and the outside world.

Finally, everyone took their seats, gathering around the large round table in the middle of the room, where every seat was just the right fit.

The two Angels and Raphael’s Devil teammates observed each other.

However, there was no antagonistic atmosphere; their gazes held only curiosity, having seen each other’s opposing situations through many dungeons and history.

In this world, however, they were just ordinary individuals.

Not to mention that both races are relatively rare and hardly ever see each other.

Others didn’t find anything wrong with Angels and Devils mixing together.

Of course, this excluded Finaris.

And Kane sat at the head of the table.

He tapped the table lightly, drawing everyone’s attention.

"I thank you all for accepting my invitation to come here, now I’ll get to the point."

"In the last dungeon, with the emergence of an opportunity, I created a guild or, you could say, a battle group, naming it Lantern."

"The purpose of inviting you here is that I hope you can join my guild."

He said, then took a stack of parchment out of his space equipment, and distributed them one by one to those at the table who weren’t yet part of the guild using their origin skills.

Everyone looked at the parchment in front of them, each feeling slightly puzzled.

They obviously knew the purpose of coming here and were formally showing their intent to join the guild created by Kane and his team by being present.

The parchment in front of them, if they guessed right, should count as a contract item.

This contract item generally imposes certain constraints on both parties.

Most battle groups and guilds use such items, but they are typically signed after joining and learning about the guild.

Unexpectedly, Kane and his team wanted to sign directly.

However, since they had come here to join Kane’s guild, they didn’t take it too seriously and started carefully reviewing the clauses on the parchment.

Yet the writing on the parchment felt even stranger.

There was only one line.

Kane invites you to join the Lantern Guild.

Below was a signature area for signing one’s name upon agreement.

Is that it?

They turned the paper over and over, confirming that apart from this line, there wasn’t a single extra character.

Shouldn’t it state what you can and can’t do upon joining the guild?

Or has Kane gone so far as to make the guild joining signature this ceremonial?

It’s known that each contract item isn’t cheap.

While it might not count as a significant expense for Kane, this seems overly extravagant, doesn’t it?

Moreover, this line couldn’t enforce any substantial constraint. To impose constraints through a contract item, it must be clearly written.

Even ambiguous phrases aren’t acceptable, as there’s no such thing as final interpretational rights belonging to anyone regarding contract items.

For example, if there are certain rules after joining a guild, signing the name means those rules must be followed.

Without such infamous clauses, if it’s not written here, then there’s no real binding force, all depends on self-discipline.

Writing about joining the guild, signing your name only means joining the guild, so much so that even leaving is up to personal decision.

This was what puzzled everyone.

Finally, Burton was the one who voiced the question.

"Kane, does your parchment only have a single line?"

For Burton’s question, Kane was somewhat puzzled: "Yes, otherwise what else should it say?"

After listening to Kane’s answer, Burton was at a bit of a loss for words, indeed there’s no rule that a contract item can’t solely have such writing.

After all, they didn’t know this parchment wasn’t merely a contract item, its main purpose was beyond their imagination.

With a helpless shrug, he signed his name on it.

Then they watched the parchment shatter into blue specks of light, these lights swarming into Kane’s body.
