I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno left the blacksmith shop and headed straight for the Light Moon Tavern.

He was exhausted from the battle with the giant slime that morning, and he was already very hungry.

Before even reaching the Light Moon Tavern, one could see from afar that it was packed with people, with a long queue forming outside.

"What's going on?"

Anno was a little confused. Was the Light Moon Tavern always this popular?

It's almost 1 p.m. and there are still so many people queuing up!

Anno observed that most of the people dining in the restaurant and those queuing outside were young men.

People outside kept peering inside, as if searching for someone.

"Hey bro, is the Light Moon Tavern having a discount today? Why are there so many people?" Anno walked to the back of the line and patted the young man in front of him.

The person being photographed turned around and saw a ragged person standing behind them, and a look of disgust appeared on their face.

But soon, he caught sight of the short sword at Anno's waist and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Brother, the people who came to the Moonlight Tavern today aren't here for a meal. They're here for two beauties!"

Anno frowned slightly and repeated, "Two beauties?"

"That's right!"

The young man pointed at the Light Moon Tavern and said excitedly, "I wonder where Uncle Lun brought back two women. They're so beautiful, and they have black hair and black eyes. They're exotic beauties!"

In all my years, I have never seen a woman with black hair and black eyes, and I have no idea what country they are from!

"Hey, why do you have black hair too?"

The young man was speaking when he suddenly stopped.

Because he discovered that the man in front of him, who looked somewhat intimidating, also seemed to have black hair and black eyes!

Looking at the long queue in front of her, Anno said speechlessly, "Just for this?"

He also has black hair. He's been active in this small town where everyone has all sorts of hair colors except black for two days. How come he hasn't caused a sensation?

Ultimately, all men are perverts!

Anno shook his head, preparing to leave and buy some black bread.

Judging from the current situation, he wouldn't get to eat even if he waited another hour.

But just as Anno was about to leave, a commotion suddenly broke out in the tavern.

Suddenly, the diners inside the tavern got up and rushed out of the tavern.

As he ran, he kept reminding the others, "Bullboy Harry is inside!"

The people queuing outside were initially confused, but upon hearing this, they turned and ran.

In no time, the once crowded Guangyue Tavern became deserted.

Anno sensed something was wrong. He was about to leave when he remembered two fellow countrymen working at the tavern—let's just call them fellow countrymen for now.

"Let's go take a look!"

Anno placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword and slowly walked over.

"Hahaha, you two beauties, as long as you come with me, Harry, I guarantee you'll live a worry-free life and never have to work as waitresses in this shabby tavern again!"

"You filthy man, let me go! Let me go!"

"Waaah, Uncle Len, please save us!"

As soon as Anno entered the tavern, he overheard the conversation inside.

Anno glanced around and found that the already small tavern was now in a mess.

Overturned tables and chairs and spilled food and wine were everywhere.

The table in the middle of the tavern was the only one that hadn't been overturned, and five men with knives hanging from their waists stood beside it.

One of them was less than 1.7 meters tall, with blond hair that reached his shoulders, a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and a lewd smile on his face. He was holding a slender arm in each hand.

As expected, the two people who were caught were the foreign beauties, Lü Yan and Liu Rongrong, who had attracted a crowd of men in the town.

Lu Yan was struggling to break free from the lewd man's grip, but he was stronger than her and she couldn't break free at all.

Liu Rongrong looked terrified, tears streaming down her face, and turned to a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, trembling, pleading for help.

Anno recognized the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground; he was Lunn, the owner of the Light Moon Tavern!

The situation is obvious.

The two women's exceptional looks attracted the covetous eyes of malicious individuals, and these individuals were no ordinary people, leading to the current situation.

As Anno observed the situation inside the tavern, the people inside also looked at him with surprise.

Harry gave a wink to one of the men next to him, who immediately kicked a stool in front of Anno and roared menacingly, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Lord Harry just say this place is closed? Get out of here!"

Anno shifted his gaze to the speaker, and the information on the panel was displayed in its entirety.

Name: Burton

Race: Terran

Rating: 3

Occupation: Trainee Soldier

Skill: [Basic Swordsmanship]

Talent: None

Burton had gray-brown hair, a long face, and was 1.8 meters tall. He was not particularly burly, but he was not thin either.

After all, he was only a level three trainee soldier.

Looking at the others, I found that apart from Harry, they were all level 3 apprentice warriors, and their skills were all [Basic Swordsmanship].

Harry's rank is the highest among the five.

Name: Harry

Race: Terran

Rating: 4

Occupation: Trainee Soldier

Skills: [Basic Swordsmanship] [Sweeping Strike]

Talent: None

Harry's rank is the same as Anno's, and his profession is the same as his lackey's: trainee warrior.

The skill now includes a new "Sweep" ability.

The five men all wore almost identical sword and knife badges around their necks.

However, due to the distance, Anno could not see the swords and knives engraved on the seal.

But it's clear that all five of them are professionals!

No wonder Uncle Len and the other diners at the tavern didn't dare to get involved; after all, they were just ordinary people, and they wouldn't dare to go against a professional.

Even Anno was considering whether or not to offend them for the sake of the two women.

This was the first time Anno had seen any other professionals besides the guards and the old priest since entering the town of Gruul.

He is currently outnumbered and still developing, and he doesn't know the other party's background, so he doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Lord Harry, could you please release these two young ladies? They are my friends!" Anno hesitated for a moment, but seeing the pleading looks in the two women's eyes, he still asked tentatively.

Upon hearing Anuo's words, the two women displayed a complex expression of joy and worry.

They saw Anno when she came in.

Normally, the two would have been very happy—they had been praying in their hearts that Anno was alright and wanted to thank him in person for drawing the goblins away.

But the current situation is somewhat special. Even if Anno gets involved, he will likely only get beaten up by Harry and the others.

Just now, some diners in the tavern disagreed with Harry's views and tried to play the hero, but they were knocked down by Burton with a few punches and then dragged out by the others.

Anno was not very big and looked no match for Burton!

Now that Anno has spoken up for them, she will likely be beaten up by Burton.

"So you know me, kid!"

Harry burst into laughter upon hearing Anno's words, but his expression quickly changed, and he angrily retorted, "Since you know it's Uncle Harry handling things here, you still dare to cause trouble?"

When Harry first saw the short sword at Anno's waist, he was a little cautious, thinking that the other party was also a professional.

But then they observed that Anno was dressed in tattered clothes and had messy hair, looking like a lowly person from the slums.

Furthermore, he didn't have any professional badges on him, which means that Anno is not a professional!

He concluded that the other man's weaponry was merely for show and not worth mentioning, so he ordered, "Burton, cripple one of his hands, and see if he dares to meddle in other people's business again!"

"Yes, sir!"

Burton responded, rubbing his hands together as he approached Anno, sneering, "Kid, don't think you can be a hero just because you have a weapon. Lord Harry is not someone a country bumpkin like you can afford to offend."

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the short sword from Anno's waist.

A short sword usually costs at least seven or eight silver coins. If you manage to snatch one and then sell it, you can get quite a bit of money.

He'd done plenty of these kinds of robberies while he was with Harry.

Let alone a country bumpkin like Anno, even in Valkam, they've snatched those down-on-their-luck trainee warriors who chose a profession, learned skills, but no mercenary group or army was willing to take them in!

Without connections or power, they can only endure being robbed.

But clearly, he chose the wrong target this time.

As Burton lunged to grab the dagger, Anno kicked him, sending him flying. Burton crashed through several tables and chairs before lying on the ground, clutching his injured stomach and groaning in pain.
