Guilds.

Formed by Adventurers with no limit in size, it was a system used by Elder Tales's players to interact with each other. Players who had not joined any guild could form a permanent bond by forming a guild with two or more members. Adventurers in the same guild shared a common guild bank account, group chat, and other unique functions.

The guildhall was one of these unique functions, referring to a zone leased to a guild.

For example, Akiba's guild building provided guild halls of 4 varying sizes: 3 rooms, 7 rooms, 15 rooms, and 31 rooms, allowing it to accommodate guilds of different sizes.

It allowed guild members to store items that could not fit into the personal storage banks of individual players, as well as production materials and equipment.

Large guilds may even opt to use a whole building as its guildhall.

The game story of Elder Tales was set in the future of Earth, and utilized the half Gaia project, simulating the many abandoned buildings and ruins of Akiba. These ruins were empty and could be purchased by an individual or a guild if they had enough money.

For such zones, players were able to control the area as they pleased, including toggling the "battle allowed" option or banning undesirables from entering.

Some guilds would buy a whole building to serve as their HQ.

The Crescent Moon Alliance guildhall was a B class with 7 rooms. It was not spacious, but the facilities were enough for a medium-sized guild to operate.

4 rooms, 1 workshop, 1 storehouse, and 1 meeting room.

Maryele described it as convenient to use. Even though it was dubbed the meeting room, there was only space for 15 people.

Even if everybody in the guild and Shiroe's party squeezes in, there was simply no room for the 30 people to have any meaningful activities.

To solve the issue of space, Maryele and her guild members decorated all the rooms except the storage room for Serara's welcome party.

Floral decorations could be seen everywhere. The work tables were covered with table cloths. They cleaned every corner of the guild. Coffee tables and plenty of cushions were placed everywhere for people to gather and chat.

These furnishings were not high-quality items, but they were made through the hard work of the guild members themselves.

When Shiroe's party arrived in the city, the Crescent Moon Alliance members received them happily at the gate and escorted them back to the guildhall.

As they had been keeping in contact via telepathy, the guild members knew Serara's time of return days in advance.

The Chefs in the guild also learned about the correct method of preparing food via telepathy with Shiroe's group and had been gathering all kinds of ingredients to prepare for the feast.

Maryele said that the Chefs had been hardworking in mastering Nyanta's method of cooking manually. Even if it were just trying out the food, the guild members were happy to eat food with taste again, bringing joy that was comparable to Serara's safe return. The new cooking method was not without issues.

Firstly, beginners needed to spend time to prepare the food by hand. Food had always been easy to prepare using the menu, be it steam or boil, it only took 10 seconds to finish. But the new method required Chefs to spend the appropriate amount of time to prepare the food instead.
