After listening to Gary's story, Annuo was a little amused.

The people in the Holy Church knew that there was a succubus around Anno, and they must have investigated it before.

But because this incident linked Annuo and the Red Dragon together, they would never be able to find Annuo in their lifetime.

"Master President, we have something to say about this matter."

Gerry and the other two looked at each other, half-knelt in front of Anno, and said, "The legendary quest that was sent from the Adventurer's Guild in Thordar is already known to everyone in the South Territory!

I don’t know how many people are looking for you every day.

There are still many foreign professionals out there, and their strength is far stronger than that of the professionals in the southern border.

For your safety, we hope that the president will not show his true face even when meeting with our own people.

Now there are only three of us who know about this matter. We will apply to the higher-ups to guard the Adventurer's House for the next period of time."

After Gary finished speaking, the other two also bowed and nodded.

In the early days of the Adventurer's Guild, they fought along with Annuo all the way.

Not only is he responsible to the guild, he is also very loyal to Anno.

The reason I said these things was mainly because I was worried that the more people An Nuo met, the greater the possibility of him being exposed.

The person who spent one million gold coins to issue a commission to find An Nuo definitely had bad intentions.

Once An Nuo is exposed, he might be in danger.

After hearing this, An Nuo showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, brothers. Just don't tell anyone else about my return, and you won't have to stay in the Adventurer's Home forever."

When Gerry heard Anno calling them brothers, he looked excited.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you guys. I'll go out and take a look first!"

"Then the president might be surprised. The South Territory is very different now than it was two months ago!"

Gerry and the other two said with a smile.

"Really? Then I'd like to take a closer look!"

An Nuo felt excited and left the Adventurer's House.

The moment he walked out the door, An Nuo became 'An' again.

Looking at An Nuo's leaving figure, Gary immediately put his arms around the other two's shoulders and said, "The president just called me brother!"

"Not just you, but us too!"

"Tell me, where did the president go during his absence? I feel that the president's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and Lady Liz's strength is unfathomable!"

"And that wolf, I don't think I'm a match for him!"

"Come on, Gerry. You just broke through to the third level in the Osance Valley a while ago. You haven't even learned the third level skills yet, but you dare to compare yourself with the pets around the president. You are amazing!"

Gary was silent for a while, then said with emotion: "Yes, our talents are not good enough after all, and our strength can no longer keep up with the president. Maybe we will never have the chance to fight side by side with the president again!"

"Hey, no ambition. My dream is to become a gold-level adventurer, pass the assessment, and go to a small city or town to be a branch president."

"You're still at the gold level? You can go to the Orshens Valley or the Aie Mountains to practice until you reach level 16 during your next off-duty period."

"Hey, what do you think, when the president goes out and finds that there are adventurer guilds in every town, how will he feel? I guess the president didn't expect that the adventurer guilds in the southern border would develop so fast!"

"After the president and President Xue went to the Royal City to develop, the Adventurer's Guild was able to develop so fast. The Lord helped a lot!"

"Speaking of the Lord, I heard rumors that the president and the people are..."

"Ahem... How can we talk about the president behind his back? Although we can't help the president in terms of strength, we can do our part for the Adventurer's Guild. There are still many adventurer files that have not been sorted out, so we have to get back to work!"

"That's right, get to work!"

"Let's get to work. Speaking of which, the guild has so many adventurer files. Doesn't that mean they have collected intelligence on them?"

"This is not something we should worry about. Just do our part."

…

After coming out of the taboo, Anno walked directly towards the nearby town of Gruul.

Before entering the town, Annuo felt the changes here.

On the winding road outside the town, there were many ordinary passers-by walking, horse-drawn carriages carrying goods, and professionals wearing equipment walking towards the town.

In the past, this road was mostly populated by civilians doing farm work, except when everyone went to Valkham together.

Also be careful of slimes in the grasslands or fields.

But now, the guards guarding the town gate have reached the second level.

And it’s level 15, stage 2!

Although compared with the Royal City and Warrengel, the second-level soldiers are nothing.

But this is the small town of Gruul.

It is dozens of kilometers away from Valkham.

When Annuo first came here, there were only 10 first-level guards.

In addition, there are many places in the town where houses are being built and many people are busy.

Looks like they're preparing for expansion!

“It’s really a huge change!”

Annuo nodded continuously, then took Liz and rode on Sasir and walked in.

"Another professional who looks very powerful has arrived!"

The soldiers guarding the town gate saw Anno riding on a giant wolf from a distance.

Just by looking at the giant wolf's aura, you can tell that this professional is quite powerful.

However, the soldiers are no longer surprised.

During this period of time, the professionals who gathered in the Southern Territory included not only the low-level professionals but also a large group of fourth-level professionals.

There are also many people who are suspected to be at the fifth level.

It is not uncommon to see professionals with various pets.

They all came for the dragon of Mount Aie.

Knowing the purpose of these people, the soldiers did not try to stop them. They just collected a fee for entering the town.

Yes, usually only cities charge fees, but the small town of Gruul dares to collect town fees!

This operation shocked Anno.

Looking at the passers-by consciously paying the entrance fee to the town, Annuo seemed to understand something.

In the past, the town of Gruul was remote and had no resources, and was also invaded by monsters.

But now, it is the closest human town to the Aie Mountains - the two are more than 70 kilometers apart.

Most adventurers who want to enter the Eie Mountains for training or exploration will choose to resupply in the small town of Gruul.

After the red dragon appeared in the Eie Mountains, the town of Gruul saw a greater flow of people.

Although the town was in the process of reconstruction, some smart people opened a tavern in advance.

But it's not enough.

Many locals rent out a few rooms in their houses at reasonable prices and make a lot of money.

Laura also saw the value of the town of Gruul, and specially sent a group of relatively high-level guards to manage it, and sent officials to manage it.

After professionals come to the South Territory, their food, clothing, housing and transportation will bring economic benefits to the South Territory and promote its development.

Most of the people who can travel through mountains and rivers to come to the southern border are not poor.

That’s why Laura established the policy of charging fees.

All the money was used to expand the town of Gruul.

After paying the entrance fee, Annuo walked around the familiar yet unfamiliar town.

There were more and more sounds of people hawking goods on the street, and many people were buying, making it very lively.

And Annuo was surprised to find that there was an Adventurer's Guild in the central area of ​​the town!

“Another branch meeting is being held!”

As the president of the guild, An Nuo decided to go in and take a look.

The guild follows the model of the Valkham Guild, integrating mission entrustment and tavern.

It's already evening, and there are still many people coming to the guild for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, An Nuo saw many familiar faces from the royal capital.

There is Pastor Sylvia who has the same mentor as Liu Rongrong.

There is also the elf Phil who was rescued by Anno, as well as the fourth-level Ashe and the sixth-level Green.
