Frankly, I didn't think I had much of a chance, as I approached the recruiter. But I thought What the hell, I might as well try.
Already, I could see in the crowd what appeared to be a dozen or so high-level adventurers. Each of them was trying to gain the recruiter's attention, but the Knight would simply ask each of them one quesion, then shake his head sadly when they answered.
"I'm sorry, you're just not what we're looking for ..."
Seeing a lull in the barrage of applications, I raised my voice. "I'm interested in joining the order, sir ..."
"You and everyone else," the Knight sighed, then he looked me over. "What level are you, son? Been playing the game long?"
I shook my head sadly. "Just joined up ..."
I heard a few boos and catcalls about being a newbie from the crowd, and I got the same answer that the high-level adventurers got. "You're not what we're looking for. Sorry."
I was disappointed. But what would I expect? I had just started the game.
With my side-trip done, I decided to go find Suzie, which was my original plan anyway.
