Tagore chuckled, took a bite of the roasted pork leg, and continued reading.
The Adventurers' Weekly reporter wrote about Linda's achievements.
Firstly, they excel at creating detailed strategy guides, effectively reducing casualties among lower-level adventurers.
[Secondly: They performed exceptionally well during the monster outbreak in White Dove City, defeating the level 20 orange monster, the Red-Armored Crab King, while the team's average level was only around ten.]
Thirdly: Not long ago, we defeated the two-star epic monster, the Goblin Prince! At that time, the average level of Linda's team was only 24.
[Fourth: Become the first person in the history of Azure Province to kill a Star-Rank Adventurer in a head-on duel with strength below level 30!]
(Note: According to intelligence from reporters in White Dove City, there were many tricks involved in this duel, but Linda's formidable individual strength cannot be denied!)
Based on the above four points, the Adventurer's Weekly has decided to feature Linda on the cover of this week's Heroes' Gathering section.
The cover photo was provided by Kami, the editor-in-chief of the White Dove newspaper.
A picture of Linda holding a blood-stained longsword, slaying the Red-Armored Crab King amidst a horde of monsters.
Taige nodded secretly, thinking to himself that this record was indeed impressive. White Dove City was considered one of the worse cities in the entire Cangqing Province, yet it was able to produce such a talent. It was truly a stroke of luck.
"Shield-type skills are quite rare. It would be great if you could join my Darkflame Adventurer Group."
"However, with Qingkong University making a move, it's probably hopeless."
"Linda... Could it be that the old loli made an exception and extended an invitation to White Dove City because of this name? I heard that White Dove City is on Qingkong University's blacklist."
Tagore recalled a petite girl with long silver hair and a languid, noble air that he had met not long ago, and a hint of doubt arose in his mind.
She didn't think that person would be interested in men outside of the shadowy figure.
After all, one of the Dark Shadow's most favored team members was the other side.
Although Taigo is also referred to as a "five-star character" by the Dark Shadow, there are still differences in strength among the five stars. Even though Taigo is a tiger-man with the courage of a tiger, he wouldn't dare say that he could defeat his opponent.
"It would be interesting if this Linda were the Shadow of Darkness."
"Unfortunately, the words 'gentle and kind with an excellent reputation' could not possibly apply to the Shadow of Darkness."
"Cold-blooded and ruthless, that's the true nature of the Shadow."
After reading the Adventurer's Weekly, Tego casually tossed it into the trash can at his feet.
She wasn't in a hurry to go back to Black Mamba City.
The atmosphere of adventure in Azure City is so strong that Tiger even wants to work here, save up some money to buy a villa, and move the entire Dark Flame Adventurer Group here.
"Where can I get the money..."
Tagore wasn't very bright; all he could think of was fighting.
"Miss, would you like to cooperate with me?"
A pink-haired girl walked up to Tego.
The girl wore thick-rimmed black glasses and was holding a book, looking quite artistic.
"Who are you?" Tago sensed a threat emanating from the man.
"An ordinary, passing-by traveler and adventurer."
Xilin tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
...
As evening fell, the sky was filled with starlight.
A victory celebration banquet was held in the reception room of the White Dove Adventurers' villa.
The stars of this victory celebration were the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team.
Under the warm lights, the aroma of fine wine and delicious food was intoxicating, and laughter filled the air.
On the enormous crystal round table, President Viren sat at the head of the table, his cheeks flushed and glowing from drinking.
To his left and right are Linda and Alberta, respectively.
Opposite them stood Mayor Adel, with members of the Phoenix and White Dove groups positioned on either side.
This seating arrangement made Linda feel somewhat flattered.
The implication is that the most distinguished guests are seated to the left and right of President Velen. Normally, no Rock-level captain would be allowed to sit in this position.
Linda herself wasn't an adventurer who liked to show off, so sitting here, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Guild Master Velen noticed his unease, raised the Adventurer's Weekly in his hand, and laughed heartily:
"Linda, you are the pride of our White Dove City, you deserve to sit here!"
“Apart from that time with Abner, White Dove City hasn’t been featured in the Adventurers’ Weekly for several years! Look, even the renowned Blue Sky University in the province has extended an invitation to you, and it was the dean himself who invited you!”
Eberner raised his glass and said succinctly, "Linda, congratulations."
Linda did not neglect him; he held the White Dove leader, who had helped him many times, in high esteem.
He raised the beer glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Tasia stood behind Linda pouring drinks, while Lulu frowned and whispered, "Drink less. Didn't we agree to go pick out yukatas?"
Linda shuddered.
I almost forgot about that.
The Winter Solstice is just around the corner.
According to the customs of the Southern Fire Empire, adventurers would change into yukatas and watch the fireworks display.
The meaning of changing into a yukata is to wash away the blood and grime accumulated throughout the year, and to watch the fireworks with companions with a pure body, receiving the blessing of the World Tree Goddess.
Linda and the others didn't have any yukatas, so they agreed to go to the trading company together tonight to buy some.
He nodded quietly to Lulu, indicating that he understood.
However, Linda couldn't refuse President Viren's hospitality, and she really couldn't bring herself to ask Lulu to help her fend off the drinks.
Mayor Adel sighed, "The Adventurers' Committee of Azure City already knows that the Phoenix Tail Flower has been featured in the Adventurers' Weekly. They notified us an hour ago that starting this month, the monthly adventure allowance for all Rock-class teams will increase from 3 Bronze-class World Tree Fruits to 5, and for Steel-class teams, it will also increase from 3 Silver-class to 5."
