In Khorvaire, no matter which country they are from, there is no shortage of young people who want to go out for adventure.

The Adventurer's Guild is their first stop in adventure.

"May I ask what levels you are all at? Do you have proof of your professional level in other areas?"

Leading the three people into the Adventure Association, the receptionist led the way and asked for their identity information.

"I am a level 4 artificer and a level 3 fighter. This one is a level 6 barbarian, and this one is a level 2 ranger. We have not yet obtained professional level certifications from associations in other regions."

After explaining the professional levels of the three of them, the receptionist nodded and led Carl and others into a spacious room.

"Sorry, someone will assist you in the test. After you pass the test, we will grant you a level certificate that matches your abilities."

It is not uncommon to see people pretending to be high-level professionals, so the Adventurer's Association has formed a unique professional ability testing organization.

Even those with purely physical professions can determine their own levels through the tests here.

The main principle is simple, which is to judge people's level by testing which occupational characteristics they have mastered and the attribute values ​​of their bodies.

A level 1 warrior can master the ability to recover energy, and a level 2 warrior can master the ability to move like a tide. As long as you reversely infer the characteristics mastered by a physical profession, you can roughly calculate his level.

As for the spellcaster...that's easy, spells are the best means of proof.

The person in charge of testing Carl and his team briefly explained the testing method, and Carl demonstrated the summoning of power armor to the other party on the spot.

"Level 3 Arcane Knight and Level 3 Artificer, you are a promising young man! However, it is difficult to estimate the Artificer level at level 4, so I'm sorry, I can only write your Artificer level as level 3."

A slight deviation of 1 or 2 levels was common, and Carl didn't make much of it.

Anyway, he didn't need to use the Adventurer's Association certificate to apply for a job.

It was Hope's turn. Hope directly used Fury and attached flames to the chainsaw in front of the tester's surprised eyes.

Just like that, Hope's class as a level 6 Barbarian was proven.

Lisanna's was even simpler. After showing her shooting skills and casting a 1st-level ranger spell, her proof of being a 2nd-level ranger was also freshly released.

"At the moment, the task we recommend you three to do is to clean up the sewers in Wana City. Although this task is a bit dirty, it is relatively safe. As you all know, there have been recent attacks by the Emerald Claw Knights, and it's not very safe outside right now."

As expected, the three of them were directly recommended by the Adventurer's Association to take on the task of cleaning the sewers.

Based on the principle that "no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat", the three of them received the mission certificates and prepared to go to the sewer tomorrow to complete the mission.

This certificate is an important item for entering and exiting the sewer. Without it, the guards will not let anyone in.

"Wow~, I suddenly feel like going out on an adventure! Brother Carl! When our level reaches a higher level, let's form an adventure team and go out on an adventure!"

Lisanna held up her adventurer's certificate and caressed it lovingly, seeming to be quite satisfied with it.

"Hmm? Speaking of which, we really need to go on an adventure to Xen'drik sometime in the future."

Lisanna's sigh reminded Hope of the adamantine key from the giant. If she wanted to solve the mystery of this thing, she really needed to go to Xen'drik.

After Hope mentioned this, Carl also remembered the existence of the key.

However, he is not very enthusiastic about the giant's treasure at the moment.

"We'll see how the situation develops. We won't be able to go in a year or two anyway. We'll have to wait until we're at least ten levels."

Much of the wealth left behind by the giants in ancient times can still be found on the continent south of the equator.

The most frequently mentioned story in Khorvaire's tavern is that an adventurer found treasure in the ruins of Xen'drik.

Back home, Carl cooked for Hope and Lisanna, and then started making dessert at Lisanna's instigation.

He no longer had to worry about food for his mother, and the chief of the Sheriff's Bureau was not a slave owner. After he recovered from his stress, he continued to order lunch boxes every day from the restaurant that Carl had ordered from before.

This incident forced the City Hall and other administrative units to follow up. After all, if the Sheriff's Bureau had done this, you couldn't just let your employees who were working overtime go home and cook for themselves, right?

Wouldn’t his spine be broken by these people?

After being busy for two hours, Carl looked at the cream cake, which looked a little bad but tasted good, and called Hope and Lisanna to come and eat.

The two of them didn't mind the appearance of the cake. After taking a bite, they stamped their feet in excitement.

"It's delicious! Brother Karl, you must keep making it. Then we will have a treat in the future!"

Lisanna ate the cream happily, squinting her eyes, looking like she was enjoying it very much.

"That depends on your performance! How well have you mastered the knowledge required for a Level 1 Artificer? When we clean the sewers tomorrow, Hope and I will watch from the sidelines, and you will be the main force. This way you can level up as quickly as possible."

The spiritual increase brought about by the act of killing is said to be due to imitating Khyber's act of killing Siberys. In the field of occultism, the imitation of gods can be regarded as a ritual.

Therefore, spiritual growth can only be achieved by personally participating in this behavior.

Combat training can be seen as a failed ritual, so the spiritual increase obtained from this kind of training is far less efficient than real killing.

But in this relatively peaceful society, where do so many enemies come from for you to kill? Moreover, this ritual is like Karl's math problems in his previous life. If you only write the results without the process, you will not get any points.

Those who work in slaughterhouses cannot gain spirituality from the animals being slaughtered.

"Hehe! It's okay! Just prepare an underwater breathing cap for me. I have also received some professional training at the Druid Academy. The harsh environment is not a problem for me, unless..."

…

"Ugh..."

The next morning, about ten meters away from the sewer entrance.

Lisanna, who had assured yesterday that there was no problem, was now leaning against the wall, vomiting violently.

Carl and Hope stood on her left and right, guarding against the violent rats roaming in the corner.

These violent creatures were originally bred by ancient druids in order to deal with the endless stream of demons in the Demon Wasteland, but rats have too strong a reproductive capacity.

No one knew which druid apprentice had gone wrong, but these creatures are now all over the planet of Eberron, and can even be found in the realm of Khyber.

"Bang!"

After shooting and killing a violent rat that rushed over, Carl looked at Lisanna who was still vomiting and felt a little regretful for bringing her here.
