"Laris!!! Laris!!!!"
"Grandpa!! Grandpa!!!! What's wrong!!!"
"That blind-eyed young man sent us food!!!"
"That blind-eyed big brother actually sent us food!!!!"
"But how did he know our address???" The fox grandfather and grandson stared at each other in confusion.
Yawning, Brey, who was dozing off in the guild, woke up.
Virginia and Blanqui, the two girls, went shopping with the money they earned.
Since Brey wasn't close to either of them, she didn't plan on accompanying them. After having a drink in the guild, she found a table and sat there in a daze.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Brey stretched lazily.
But soon, Brey felt something was off. Why did everything seem so quiet in the guild after she woke up?
"Ta-ta-"
Hearing footsteps, Brey instinctively looked over and paused for a moment.
Brey finally understood why everyone was so quiet.
A stunning beauty.
A female knight in a specially made light armor walked into the guild.
With her golden hair, the young female knight exuded a charismatic and adorable aura, seamlessly combining both coolness and cuteness.
Such a beauty would appeal to both genders.
Brey lowered her eyelids, not very interested.
Behind the female knight were three individuals wearing white robes, either male or female.
"Lady Knight" Vanessa!!! Ahhhh!!!" A female adventurer suddenly screamed without warning and fainted.
Brey didn't seem interested, but the others were highly fascinated by the female knight.
"Why would 'Lady Knight' Vanessa come to this small adventurer guild..."
After someone broke the silence, people in the guild started whispering and gossiping.
"Lady Knight" Vanessa was a well-known female knight in the Will Empire, possessing the strength equivalent to that of an A-rank adventurer.
Of course, it doesn't mean Vanessa is actually working as an adventurer. It's just that her strength is evaluated using adventurers' ranks.
To give a more accurate explanation, Vanessa is capable of taking on an A-rank monster alone, and an A-rank monster can wipe out thousands of soldiers in a regular army.
If evaluated using the ability of appraisal magic—
For example, the attribute of an A-rank monster like "Sandstorm Beetle" would look like this:
---
Sandstorm Beetle
A-rank monster
Inherent abilities: "Quicksand Skin," "High-speed Regeneration"
Mastered abilities: Unknown
Attributes:
"Speed" 16
"Strength" 375
"Technique" 11
"Body" 563
"Mind" 15
"Mastery" 235
Power system: Magical Essence
---
"Speed" refers to the overall evaluation of speed, including reaction speed, movement speed, agility, and so on.
"Strength" is the overall evaluation of the physical strength capable of causing destruction. It also includes latent strength.
The scope of "Technique" is quite broad, encompassing swordsmanship, spear techniques, as well as theft skills and evasion techniques.
"Body" is easy to understand—it simply represents the sturdiness of the physique.
"Mind" represents the strength of the spirit and soul.
"Mastery" is the overall evaluation of the quantity and power of mastered spells and the ability to manipulate energy.
The power system refers to the utilized power system. Karplus' power system is quite complex; for example, monsters use magical essence, while humans can use magic, spiritual power, or even internal energy.
For an ordinary adult, the average attribute values would be around 3 to 5.
In short, "Lady Knight" Vanessa is very formidable.
The arrival of such a person in this small adventurer guild naturally sparked discussions among the people.
"Dear adventurers, this time I am here on behalf of the Will Empire to post a recruitment notice."
As Vanessa spoke, a woman behind her took out a piece of paper and posted it on the bulletin board.
"This time, the Will Empire is recruiting adventurers ranked D and above nationwide to participate in the search for an ancient relic."
"Anyone who participates will receive a reward of 10000G afterward, and those injured during the work will receive additional compensation."Recently, a very ancient historical relic was discovered in Dailnait, not far from Clinton.
Originally, it was thought to be a dangerous exploration of the relic -
but unexpectedly, the exploration of the relic went very smoothly, without any casualties.
As a result, the courage of the explorers grew, and they continued to delve deeper into the relic.
However, as they delved deeper into the relic, they discovered hidden wonders underground.
Unfortunately, when they wanted to continue their journey deeper into the relic, they encountered a major problem.
Because the underground paths became increasingly complex, they had no choice but to bring in a large number of experienced individuals.
The profits gained from the relic were already significant for the Will Empire, so they mobilized funds from the treasury to support this expedition, intending to expand their gains.
Thus, the scene of recruiting adventurers of D-rank or higher unfolded.
"Well then, I'll take my leave and stop bothering everyone." After explaining everything, the "Knight Princess" bowed and left with three individuals in white robes.
After Nisa left the guild, chaos ensued.
"What the hell, the 'Knight Princess' bowed to me!!!!"
"Who the hell did you think she bowed to?! Clearly it was me!!!!"
"Ah, ah, ah!!! Lady Nisa!!!!"
Brey leisurely walked over to the notice board and fixed his gaze on the section that read "10,000G reward."
"Brey~" Virginia's voice suddenly sounded, followed by the return of Blanche.
"Worthless captain, Miss and I are back. Shouldn't you welcome us back with a loyal dog expression?" Blanche's greeting left Brey speechless.
"That's right, you both came back at the right time. There's a big mission for you, do you want to take it?"
"What mission?" Compared to Blanche, Virginia seemed more enthusiastic about the adventurer job.
Blanche, in fact, was just acting as a bodyguard for Virginia.
A maid and bodyguard, truly a versatile girl.
"Relic exploration, over in Dailnait."
"Great~" Virginia's face brimmed with excitement, and her little fist clenched.
-"Exploring a relic, this is truly the life of an adventurer..."
"Now that you've both agreed...once we take on the mission, let's quickly book our train tickets."
Brey mentioned that the tickets were not for a horse-drawn carriage, but for a rail-bound vehicle.
It was a metal car powered by specially crafted magic crystals used by mages, moving along the tracks spread across the empire.
These vehicles were much faster than horse-drawn carriages and were commonly used for long-distance travel.
However, they were slightly...more expensive.
"Ssshh—"
"300G huh..."
After Brey counted on his fingers, he took in a sharp breath of air.
