I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"There really is a problem!"

Anno clicked his tongue in amazement.

However, Anno still heard some unusual news from these people.

That is, Earl Edward of Selby was very concerned about this matter.

They even dispatched soldiers to search overnight.

According to Anno's observation, Earl Edward and the other nobles of the Westerlands were all of the same ilk.

It's alright to exploit the people.

But Anno had to be skeptical about the claim that sending soldiers to capture demons in such a hurry was to protect the people.

"It seems there are some unknown secrets behind this matter."

After making a simple deduction, Anno finished his breakfast in a few bites.

Whatever secrets it may hold, the next stop is the royal city.

Anno had no intention of staying in Selby City any longer.

They led Liz to a caravan at the city gate.

After discussing with the caravan leader, Anno and Liz agreed to escort the caravan for a fee of 1 gold coin.

One gold coin is a small amount, whether for Anno or for the caravan.

In the Adventurers' Guild, this is the price range for bronze-level commissions accepted by second-tier bronze-level adventurers.

However, Anno did this not to make money.

It was simply to spread the adventurer's fame.

It's only 100 kilometers to the capital.

But this journey is not only fraught with ferocious monsters.

There are also wanted fugitives.

These outlaws varied in skill level.

Because they were wanted by the authorities, they were not allowed to enter the city.

So they became bandits and robbers in the mountains and fields, robbing passing caravans.

For caravans to conduct business between cities, security was crucial.

Otherwise, if you encounter robbers, losing money is a minor issue; losing your life would be the end of the world.

However, these robbers are generally Tier 1 or 2.

Based on this intelligence, this escort mission can only be considered bronze-level.

A reward of 1 gold coin is the minimum standard for a bronze commission.

Adventurers' rewards for accepting quests are not based on their own level, but on the reward offered by the quest.

Of course, if you think the commission is too low, you can switch to a higher-level task.

When the caravan leader first heard that Anno only wanted 1 gold coin, his eyes were full of distrust.

Anno explained to the other party the quest levels and rewards offered by the Adventurers' Guild.

"Adventurers' Guild?"

Team leader Yarman pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Ann, could the guild you're talking about be the same adventurers' guild that recently helped Viscount Reno of the Southern Territory defeat Count Waver of the Eastern Territory?"

Anno looked at Yarman with delight, not expecting that a mere businessman already knew the news.

"I was in the royal capital a while ago, and the most talked-about topic there was the war between Viscount Renault and Count Wey!"

Yarman said to himself, "At the time, almost no one was optimistic about Viscount Renault, but when the final battle report came, it surprised everyone."

Viscount Renault not only won, but also captured the city of Glad.

And all of this is said to be thanks to the Adventurers' Guild!

An, I never knew you were an adventurer too.

Does Selby City have an Adventurers' Guild? I've never heard of it before.

The Adventurers' Guild gained considerable attention in the capital for helping Viscount Renault win the war.

Of course, many people believe that adventurers originated in the Southern Territory and that their strength is definitely not comparable to that of the well-known mercenary groups in the capital.

The hype quickly died down, and then people started discussing other things.

For example, the Demon Earl Waver, the dragons of Sunset Land, and the movements of the Demon King's army on the front lines.

After seeing Anno, Yarman became interested in learning more about the Adventurers' Guild.

If you have the Adventurers' Guild's contact information.

In the future, the escort duties for caravans can be entirely handled by hiring adventurers.

That would save a lot of money.

Even if he sells all of his dozens of cartloads of goods after they arrive in the capital, the profit is estimated to be only three or four hundred gold coins.

The entire sales process will take at least a month.

These profits also need to be paid to noble taxes, and a lot of money is spent hiring mercenaries when going there.

This time, Yarman spent 50 gold coins to hire a mercenary group from Selby City.

The other party promised to send a team of fifty professionals to escort them.

There are five people in the second tier and forty-five people in the first tier!

Anno, on the other hand, is a Tier 3 character, yet only costs 1 gold coin.

This made Yarman admire the professional ethics of adventurers.

"Unfortunately, there is no Adventurers' Guild in Selby City at the moment."

Anno is currently only promoting the Adventurers' Guild.

To open a branch in Selby City, we'll have to wait until Anno advances to Tier 4 at the very least.

Without sufficient strength, one is easily targeted by mercenaries in a city of this caliber.

"I see!"

Yarman felt it was a pity.

He spoke with Anno for a while, hoping to continue cooperating with Anno, or rather, the adventurer.

For a while afterward, Anno watched as the laborers loaded the goods onto the wagons next to the caravan.

About fifteen minutes later, a group of people appeared in the distance.

The group of people had a winged eagle tattooed on the right chest of their clothes.

Judging from the number of people, Anno deduced that the other party was the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group hired by Yarman.

Before they even got close, Anno already knew the information panels of everyone on the other side.

What puzzled Anno was that among the people who came, besides the five second-tier mercenaries that Yarman had mentioned, there were forty-five first-tier mercenaries.

There's even a level 20 mercenary!

A hunter at the peak of the third tier, with a plump gray eagle perched on his shoulder!

Yarman, who was sitting to the side, greeted these people with a smile.

"Commander Ed, what brings you here?"

The person that Yarman called Commander Ed was the level 20 hunter.

He smiled and shook hands with Yarman, saying, "Yarman, long time no see. I heard you entrusted the escort mission to our Gray Eagle Mercenary Group this time, so I came in person!"

Upon hearing this, Yarman's face showed no joy, but rather a sense of bewilderment.

"Well... Commander Ed, I didn't intend to hire a strongman like you this time."

If Ed, the leader of the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group, were to make the move, the reward would likely double.

Yarman didn't want to spend that money.

"Haha, look at you! I was just passing by, I won't charge you extra!"

Ed laughed heartily, looking quite pleased with himself.

Upon hearing this, Yarman gave an awkward smile.

Then, Yarman introduced Anno and Ed to each other.

However, he did not reveal Anno's strength.

Ed frowned slightly when he saw Anno.

Logically speaking, having the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group accept the commission for this kind of ordinary escort mission would be sufficient.

It wasn't anything extremely valuable that Yarman was transporting.

When Ed heard that Anno was an adventurer, he stared at Anno with great interest for a while.

Clearly, he had also heard about the Adventurers' Guild.

Although Ed didn't say anything, the mercenaries behind him were somewhat displeased.

If you hire Gray Eagle and then hire other people, isn't that disrespecting the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group?

In an attempt to save face, the five second-tier professionals in the group exchanged glances and walked up to Anno.

Ed didn't stop them, as he also wanted to see what kind of adventurers were in the rumors.

One of them spat in front of Anno and cursed, "You brat, who told you to take this mission? Are all adventurers a bunch of lawless idiots?"

boom!

A figure flew backward and crashed in front of Ed.

Liz withdrew the whip from her hand and sneered, "If you disrespect your master again, I'll cripple you!"
