The young man was unaware of the customs of other countries, as he had not been to them, but he had no reason not to trust the protector, especially since he was a city official.
- Good morning and enjoy your meal, - Ferus began. - If I had been warned, I would have waited. I didn't want to abuse the opportunity that our country gives to ordinary citizens, let alone interfere with a respected person. But I do have a question. The thing is, the time has come for me to choose a guild, and I would like to know how this procedure works and what needs to be done. Can I just go to the city I need and knock on the right door, or is the application process handled through the city administration? Is there an official protocol for joining, or something like that?

- Well, what are you waiting for, just join us. - Argos took a piece of meat with a bone from the table and threw it to the guest. It looked like the leg of some animal. - Our ancestors could only dream of such easy access to meat, and in lean times, they would have stoned a neighbor for such a piece. - Having finished another portion and washed it down with wine, he continued. - The bureaucratic process is minimal; you just go where you need to, pass some kind of test, and you are enrolled in the guild. There is no need to register in advance; just come during working hours, and they will tell you everything and show you around. If you want to join me, we can arrange that - you will help maintain order in the city, and if you're lucky, you can slit the throats of those scoundrels who dare to resist arrest. There are quite a few of them here, coming from the border with Calcite.
