"Untouchable, you still want to harm me!"
Earl Edward looked at the body fragments on the ground with disdain, and then praised the person in front of him: "You are worthy of being my confidant. In front of the strength of the fifth level, the fourth level is not worth mentioning at all!"
The man whom Edward called his confidant was dressed in black and held a dagger dripping with blood in his hand.
He wiped the dagger clean, put it back into the sheath, and said to Earl Edward: "My Lord, the face-tearing monster has been wreaking havoc in the city for a month. The fourth-level mercenaries and soldiers sent out have been unable to catch it. How about letting me go!"
"Let you go, oh, that won't do!"
Earl Edward shook his head like a rattle, "You have only one duty, and that is to protect me!"
"But hundreds of civilians and dozens of professionals have died, and now even the Marquis' daughter has been killed. If we don't deal with it, there will be endless troubles!"
The confidant looked towards the left side of the room.
There lay the body of a red-haired woman.
His chest was pierced and his heart disappeared.
Moreover, the skin on his face was torn off, revealing horrible flesh and blood.
"Those stupid pigs, their only purpose is to provide me with tax revenue, it doesn't matter how many of them die.
The only trouble is that the Marquis’ daughter was killed!
It seems we need to send someone to the royal city.
The mercenaries in the royal city are stronger and should be able to capture the monsters in the city.
And I heard that an Adventurer's Guild was established in the Royal City some time ago, and the adventurers in it are quite powerful.
Let the adventurers and mercenaries come together to deal with this monster!
I just don’t believe that I can’t kill it!”
…
Through the teleportation array, I was sent back to the forest where I first met Sasir.
It was already evening.
But in the nearest human city, Hull, the lord's daughter was Sasir's previous master.
There had been fighting between the two sides before.
So Annuo did not plan to enter Hull City, but rushed to the royal city overnight.
With Sasir's current strength, even if he carries three people, it will not affect his speed.
In the early morning of the next day, Annuo and his group arrived at the royal capital.
Sasier transformed into a human form ahead of time and put on a hooded garment.
Liz and Ella also wore hoods.
After finding a tavern to rest for a morning, Anno came to the Adventurer's Guild. Liz and the other two were left in the tavern by Anno.
After a month of development, people in the royal city have become accustomed to the existence of the Adventurer's Guild.
There is a constant stream of ordinary people and businessmen coming to post commissions.
The main entrance was also filled with adventurers coming in and out.
"The dragon hunting team from the southern border hasn't returned to the royal city yet, right?"
An Nuo suddenly thought of this before entering the Adventurer's Guild.
Fortunately, Annuo changed his face in advance so as not to leave any handle.
After entering the guild, Anno observed that the level and quality of the adventurers had improved significantly.
The nameplates on everyone’s chests are no longer like the uniform iron nameplates from before.
Bronze, silver, gold, and even fifth-level platinum are available!
The bunny girl and wolf girl who were recruited before are working with a group of receptionists to distribute, settle and update tasks in an orderly manner.
After the framework was finalized, everything was moving in the direction that Annuo had expected.
"Hey, come and look at this mission!"
"The person who entrusted the task is the steward of Earl Edward of Selby City? He is actually a gold-level steward!"
"What's the big deal about the gold rank? And the reward is only 1,000 gold coins for the lowest rank!"
"That's right. There are seven platinum-level adventurers this month! Except for the initial [Dragon's Lair], all the others have been completed. The current platinum-level adventurers have upgraded their adventurer ratings through this!"
"1,000 gold coins are not enough. I think you have been an adventurer for too long and have forgotten the hard times before."
"I want to take this mission, but I haven't completed my previous mission yet!"
"Recovering from injuries..."
"Isn't this a platinum level mission? How boring!"
Hearing the discussions not far away, An Nuo moved his eyes, which were emitting strange light, away from the bunny girl and looked over.
“Fuck!”
Seeing the naked backs of a group of men, An Nuo felt that his spiritual world had been greatly polluted.
"It seems that [Perspective] also requires proficiency!"
While An Nuo was waiting for Xue Feibai to come back, he was practicing [Perspective] on the side.
If you use too little force, you won’t even be able to see through the clothes on the surface.
Excessive force will not allow you to see through the human body.
But inanimate objects do not obstruct perspective.
Anno can see right through the table.
He speculated that the magical power flowing in the human body would block perspective.
An Nuo rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again he saw the normal world.
He stood up and walked into the crowd, watching the adventurers discuss the mission.
"The target is a monster hiding in the city. Its strength should be level three, but it is possible that it has already broken through to level four."
The wolf girl who had just posted the task on the display board reminded: "And its hiding ability is very strong. According to the client, it has been hiding in the city for a month! It is recommended that hunters with strong tracking ability and thieves with strong hiding ability accept this task!"
"That has to be me!"
A fourth-level hunter with a folding crossbow tied to his left arm, a hatchet tied to his waist, a gyrfalcon on his shoulder, and a large package on his back laughed and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to Selby City."
"Eugene, how about we team up!"
A fourth-level thief who seemed to know the hunter touched his chin and said, "The monster that the count commissioned is probably not that easy to deal with. Although the reward will be less if we split it in half, it will be safer at least!"
Even the wolf girl nodded and said, "Eugene, what Joel said makes sense. I also suggest that we form an adventure group of three to five people to go on the action! If the target is a fourth-level monster, it will be a bit dangerous to deal with it."
Eugene thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Since Miss Wolf has said so, I will definitely adopt it. Joel, then shall we take on this mission?"
"Well, I have nothing to do now, I can leave at any time!"
"Okay! Since no one wants to fight with us, we two brothers will set off."
Eugene tore off the order form and went to the front desk to register.
Anno watched the entire process of the two accepting the mission, and combined with the discussion of the adventurers nearby, he knew that Eugene and Joel had known each other when they were still individual professionals.
The two of them are considered friends, otherwise Eugene wouldn't let others join his team so easily.
Annuo has no good impression of Earl Edward, the client of this mission.
Back then, when he was still at the third level, he was almost killed by Horace, a fourth-level soldier from Selby City, because of Phil's matter.
Fortunately, he had the magic monster Ghost at that time, and killed Horace with the help of [Power of the King].
"But there's something wrong with this time period!"
An Nuo recalled the mission description on the commission letter and pondered, "Could the target monster be the one that Phil escaped from the slave trader a month ago and has been hiding until today without being caught?
After so long, this guy must have killed a lot of people!"
"Vice President Lu, you're back?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
While An Nuo was thinking, he heard a familiar voice.
Turning around, I saw that it was Lu Yan who came back wearing light armor.
As if sensing something, Lu Yan, who was about to go upstairs, turned around and glanced at An Nuo.
