I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Hot summer.

The scorching sun shone on the earth, and the light was refracted by the water vapor rising from the ground.

A small caravan of several dozen people was traveling on the road.

The caravan members were all drenched in sweat.

Following on either side of the caravan were four adventurers wearing nameplates—Liss was considered Anno's follower and was not counted.

Three of them wore iron-grade nameplates, while the remaining one wore a silver-grade nameplate.

The latter is Anno, who came from the royal city!

This was the second day after he left the capital, and he took on the task while following the caravan.

The escort mission is only at the Iron level.

In theory, adventurers of level 6-10 are sufficient to complete this task.

However, Anno's teammates, even the lowest level among them, are at least level 13.

The highest level is already level 15.

Anno picked up the mission along the way; these people were undoubtedly there to boost their ratings.

To take on high-level, high-reward missions, even fourth- or fifth-tier adventurers must first raise their rating step by step.

After all, the Adventurers' Guild has only been open for a short time.

Even with Tester's full assistance and the provision of numerous low-level tasks, it was still difficult.

Many more people offered higher-level quests, but it was impossible to find a large number of highly rated adventurers in a short period of time.

Lately, people who post commissions have been making a lot of money.

Not only did it cost less money than when I hired mercenaries before.

The adventurers who accepted the commissioned missions were stronger than the commissioners required.

After learning the actual levels of the four adventurers, the caravan leader treated them with great courtesy.

He was just a small merchant in the capital, and his business consisted of buying goods at low prices in the countryside and transporting them to the capital to sell, making a small profit from the price difference.

In the past, he simply couldn't hire such a high-level adventurer!

But this time, there was even a Silver-level adventurer.

Adventurers of this caliber are at least level 16!

"Master, we're out of water!"

Liz tilted her head back and drank the last drop of water from her water pouch, then complained to Anno beside her with a gloomy face, "It's so hot!"

Anno had already taken off his equipment and was only wearing a short-sleeved cloth shirt.

"It's already the height of summer!"

Walking outside in this kind of weather makes you feel a bit restless.

Suddenly, a Black Iron-level adventurer pointed to the forest ahead and said to the caravan leader, "After we pass that forest, we'll reach our destination, Hel City, in another half day."

Let's rest there for a bit before we continue our journey. It's the middle of the day, a good time to grab something to eat!

"No, we have to go around that grove of trees!"

The caravan leader wiped the sweat from his brow and explained, "A terrifying monster lurks in that forest. If we rest there, we might just run into it!"

"What level of monster?" an adventurer asked, looking eager to try it out.

"I heard it's a second-tier creature, and the viscount of Hel City commissioned a mercenary group to hunt it down. However, it's hidden deep in the forest and hard to find; the mercenary group hasn't completed the commission yet!"

"Second tier?" the 15 warrior adventurers said. "I think with our strength, we can handle even monsters!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Anno.

Even if something unexpected happens, there's still this Silver-ranked adventurer!

"Uh, shall we go and rest here?" The caravan leader looked at Anno.

In the past, the caravan leader would definitely have taken a detour.

But today, the adventurers around him are not weak.

Anno nodded to the crowd in agreement.

Seeing this, the others immediately headed towards the forest to rest for an hour.

Sitting under the shady tree, the heat in everyone's hearts instantly disappeared.

The gentle breeze blowing by was so strong that it made me feel sleepy.

When the caravan leader saw that Anno and Liz had run out of water, he specially sent a servant to bring them a jug of water.

While everyone rested, Anno left Liss in the caravan while he ventured deep into the forest.

The reason for choosing to enter here is that Anno sensed that the fourth Heritage Church was located here.

"I thought it would be further north, but I found it just two days after leaving the capital."

Although we haven't collected enough souls yet, let's take a look first!

The deeper Anno went into the forest, the stronger the inexplicable feeling became in his mind.

After traversing the forest for more than ten minutes, Anno came into view of a ruin.

The three churches I encountered before were at least identifiable as churches.

But if it weren't for the fact that her mind was set on this place, Anno would never have believed that this was the Church of Heritage.

There is no statue of the god of summoning.

There are no towering stone pillars.

There wasn't even a wall.

Apart from the stone-paved ground and the ruins, there were only a few dozen goblins nesting there.

Although most of the goblins were taking a nap, a few were still on guard.

"Whoa~!"

Upon seeing Anno, one of them immediately began calling to its companions, who then charged at Anno with daggers.

These goblins are all low-level, ranging from level 2 or 3 to level 8 at most!

They were all skin and bones, and looked malnourished.

For Anno now, these goblins are nothing.

He drew his longsword and pierced the heart of the goblin that was charging at him.

"These guys, you can run into them everywhere!"

Anno drew his longsword without even bothering to collect the summoning materials from them.

Anno released the ghosts to deal with the goblins and walked into the ruins.

"Tch!"

Suddenly, Anuo heard a sigh of relief coming from the side.

He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant wolf, at least two meters tall, emerge from the ruins.

This wolf has rare silver-white fur and a tuft of red fur on its forehead.

"Silver Moon Blood Wolf?"

Anno looked at the Silver Moon Blood Wolf's information panel and discovered that its level was as high as level 20!

What surprised Anno the most was that this wolf was talented!

Talent: [Transformation]!

Its specific function is unknown, but judging from the name, it should be a skill that can change form.

"Roar~!"

The Silver Moon Blood Wolf glared at Anno with its silver-gray eyes and roared angrily.

"If the second-tier magical beast in the forest refers to this one, then I can only say that our intelligence gathering needs improvement!"

Anno dared not be careless and immediately summoned all his summoned creatures!

Including the Goblin's Spectrum that had already been dealt with, a total of forty level 20 summons surrounded the Silver Moon Blood Wolf!

The Silver Moon Blood Wolf, which was roaring, saw dozens of floating creatures suddenly appear around it, their magic power no less than its own, and its voice stopped abruptly.

The Silver Moon Blood Wolf suddenly looked away, spoke in human language, and asked and answered itself:

"I was just taking a nap, and I'm still a little sleepy after waking up. I need to wash my face. Where should I wash my face? Ah, right, there's a stream over there. I'll go there now!"

With that, he started to slip away.

"It can actually talk!"

Anno raised an eyebrow, not expecting that the other party, who was only at the third level, was so special.

As for its desire to leave, Youpo would definitely disagree!

Faced with the attack of forty ghostly spirits of the same level, the Silver Moon Blood Wolf, which had few magical skills, was beaten and howled in pain.

Within two minutes, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, weakly pleading, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'm really going to die if you keep hitting me!"

"That's interesting!"

Seeing this, Anno ordered Youpo to stop attacking.

"Waaaah, sir, have mercy! Please, have mercy on this poor little wolf who has no one to care for him!"
