Another World: The Failed Magician

Seeing that the shadowy figure dared not move, Lu Xuan said, "Since you've been discovered, you should dispel your stealth state."

Under the pressure of the super-grade musket, the shadowy figure released his stealth mode as Lu Xuan had instructed.

The shadow dissipated, and a young girl appeared before Lu Xuan. She wore a black stealth suit that perfectly accentuated her almost flawless figure, and had short purple hair. Her delicate features, combined with her purple eyes, gave her an eerie aura.

The girl looked at Lu Xuan coldly, glancing warily at the musket in his hand.

Lu Xuan pointed the gun at the girl's head and said, "What's your purpose in following me?"

The girl remained silent in the face of Lu Xuan's question.

Faced with the girl's silence, Lu Xuan did not press further. Instead, he addressed the empty alley ahead, saying, "You've been here for a while now. Don't try to wear down my patience any longer. After all, it's tiring for me to hold this musket. Who knows, if my hand slips, your friend might die here today."

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, a man appeared in the alley that had been empty. The man was dressed like a storyteller, with black hair and black eyes like Lu Xuan, and had an ordinary-looking face.

The man addressed Lu Xuan, saying, "Sir, I think there's been some misunderstanding between us. How about this? You put down your gun first. What questions do you have? Let's find a place, and I'll tell you everything. Is that alright?"

Lu Xuan said coldly, "You don't seem to have the right to negotiate with me. Answer my question."

Seeing Lu Xuan's cold attitude, the man could only wave his hand helplessly and said, "We are members of the Huaisong County Adventurers' Association. As for why we are following you, it's because you are too suspicious. These are special times, and everyone on the streets is fearful and uneasy. You are the only one strolling slowly on the street, and you are a complete stranger. This makes us suspicious. So our people are following you."

Lu Xuan coldly asked, "How can you prove that you belong to the Adventurers' Guild?"

As if he had anticipated Lu Xuan's question, the man tossed over the adventurer's token that proved his identity.

Because there have been cases of people impersonating adventurers in the past, the Adventurers' Guild has created an identity token for each adventurer, which will indicate the person's adventurer level, photo, and special mark provided by the Adventurers' Guild. However, the cost of these tokens is borne by the adventurer himself.

Lu Xuan took it with one hand. The picture on it was indeed of a man's appearance, and his identity was listed as a mid-level adventurer.

Adventurers have eight ranks, just like warriors and mages: Apprentice Adventurer, Novice Adventurer, Intermediate Adventurer, Advanced Adventurer, Adventurer, Grand Adventurer, Legendary Adventurer, and Hero.

The final rank for adventurers is Hero, firstly to commemorate the heroes who won the war against demons, and secondly to show respect for the highest-ranking adventurers. To obtain this title, one must have made significant contributions to the entire continent or many countries before being awarded it by the Adventurers' Guild. It is a title that many adventurers dream of.

After confirming that the man in front of him was not lying to him, Lu Lu Xuan put the musket in his hand into his spatial ring.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had put away his musket, the girl instantly appeared beside the man, watching him warily.
