I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After hearing Gerry's story, Anno was both amused and exasperated.

The people at the Holy Church knew that Anno had a succubus by his side, so they must have investigated beforehand.

But because this incident links Anno and the Red Dragon together, they will never be able to find Anno in their lifetime.

"President, we have something to say about this matter."

Gerry and the other two exchanged a glance, then knelt down in front of Anno and said, "The legendary quest that came from the Adventurers' Guild in Sodar is already a well-known fact in the Southern Territory!"

I wonder how many people are searching for your whereabouts every day.

There are still many outside professionals, whose strength far surpasses that of the professionals in the Southern Territory.

For your safety, we hope that even when meeting with our own people, the president will not appear in his/her true form.

Currently, only the three of us know about this. We will apply to our superiors to have our duties guarding the Adventurers' House extended for the foreseeable future.

After Gerry finished speaking, the other two also bowed and nodded.

In the early days of the Adventurers' Guild, they fought alongside Anno all the way.

He is not only responsible to the guild, but also very loyal to Anno.

The main reason for saying these things was that Anno was worried that the more people he met, the greater the chance of being exposed.

The person who spent a million gold coins to post a commission to find Anno definitely had bad intentions.

Once Anno is exposed, there is no telling what danger he might face.

Anno smiled with relief after hearing this.

"Thank you for your concern, brothers. Just don't tell anyone else I'm back yet, so you don't have to stay at the Adventurers' Lodge forever."

Gerry was thrilled when he heard Anno call them brothers.

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll go take a look around!"

"Then the Guild Master might be surprised, the Southern Territory has changed a lot since two months ago!"

The three of them, including Gerry, said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to take a good look!"

With anticipation in her heart, Anno got up and left the Adventurer's House.

The moment Anno stepped out the door, he became 'An' again.

Watching Anno's departing figure, Gerry immediately put his arms around the shoulders of the other two and said, "The president just called me 'brother'!"

"It's not just you, it's us too!"

"Where do you think the president went during the time she was gone? I feel her aura is getting stronger and stronger, and Lady Liz's strength is unfathomable!"

"And that wolf, I don't think I can handle it!"

"Come on, Gerry. You just broke through to Tier 3 in the Valley of Aushens not long ago, and you haven't even learned your Tier 3 skills yet, but you dare to compare yourself to the guild leader's pet? You're really something!"

Gerry was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, our talent is ultimately lacking, and our strength can no longer keep up with the Guild Master. Perhaps we'll never have the chance to fight alongside him again!"

"Hey, that's unambitious. My dream is to become a Gold-rank adventurer, then pass the exam and become a branch leader in a small town or city."

"You, Gold level? You should go to the Valley of Aushens or the Mountains of Aieh and train until you reach level 16 before you talk."

"Sigh, what do you think the Guild Master's reaction will be when he goes out and finds adventurers' guilds in every town? I bet he didn't expect the adventurers' guilds in the Southern Territory to develop so quickly!"

"The Adventurers' Guild has grown so rapidly thanks in large part to the Lord's help after Guild Leader and Guild Leader Xue went to the Royal City to develop their guild!"

"Speaking of the lord, I've heard rumors that the guild leader and..."

"Ahem... How can we talk about the guild master behind his back? Although we can't help him in terms of strength, we can still do our part for the Adventurers' Guild. There are still many adventurers' files to be sorted out, let's get back to work!"

"That's right, that's right, let's get to work!"

"Let's get to work. Speaking of which, with so many adventurers' files, doesn't that mean the guild has gathered intelligence on them?"

"That's not something we should worry about. We should just do our job."

......

After leaving the forbidden area, Anno headed straight for the nearby town of Gruul.

Before even entering the town, Anno could sense the changes.

On the winding roads outside the town, there were many ordinary pedestrians, horse-drawn carts carrying goods, and professionals wearing equipment heading towards the town.

Previously, this road was mainly used by commoners going to farm work, except when people went to Warkam together.

Also, be careful of slimes in grasslands or fields.

But now, the guards standing at the town gate have all reached the second rank.

And it's a level 15, second tier!

Although compared to the Royal City and Volengol, second-tier soldiers are nothing.

But this is the town of Grür.

It is dozens of kilometers away from Varkam.

When Anno first arrived here, there were only 10 Tier 1 guards.

In addition, there are many other places in the town where houses are being built, and many people are busy with construction.

It looks like they're preparing for an expansion!

"The changes are truly enormous!"

Anno nodded repeatedly, then took Liz and rode Sasser inside.

"Another seemingly powerful professional has arrived!"

The soldiers guarding the town gate spotted Anno riding a giant wolf from a great distance.

Just by looking at the giant wolf's imposing presence, you can tell that this professional is quite powerful.

However, the soldiers were already used to it.

During this period, a large number of professionals, not to mention low-level professionals, have gathered in the Southern Territory.

Quite a few suspected to be fifth-tier have also arrived.

It's not uncommon to see professionals with all sorts of pets.

They all came for the dragons of the Aiur Mountains.

Knowing the purpose of these people, the soldiers did not stop them at all, and only collected the fee to enter the town.

Yes, usually only cities charge fees, but the town of Gruul dares to charge an entrance fee!

This move stunned Anno.

Seeing the passersby conscientiously paying the entrance fee, Anno seemed to understand something.

Previously, the town of Gruul was remote and lacked resources, and was also plagued by monsters.

But now, it is the closest human town to the Ayer Mountains—more than seventy kilometers away.

Most adventurers who want to train or explore the Aier Mountains will choose to resupply in the town of Gruul.

After the red dragon appeared in the Aiur Mountains, the town of Gruul saw a surge in visitors.

Although the town was being rebuilt, some resourceful people had already opened taverns.

But it's simply not enough.

Many locals have made a lot of money by renting out a few rooms in their houses at reasonable prices.

Laura also saw the value of the town of Gruul, so she specially sent a group of relatively high-ranking guards to take over its management, and also sent officials to manage it.

When professionals arrive in the Southern Lands, their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation all contribute to the economy and promote the development of the Southern Lands.

Most of the people who can travel across mountains and rivers to reach the southern border are not poor.

That's why Laura decided to charge a fee.

All of this money was used for the expansion of the town of Grür.

After paying the entrance fee, Anno strolled around the familiar yet unfamiliar town.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares on the street increased, and there were many customers; it was incredibly lively.

To Anno's surprise, there was an adventurers' guild in the center of the town!

"They've held another branch meeting!"

As the guild leader, Anno decided to go in and take a look.

The guild follows the model of the Val'kam guild, integrating quest commissions and taverns.

It's already evening, and there are still quite a few people coming to the guild for dinner.

As soon as Anno entered, he saw many familiar faces from the capital.

There is a pastor named Sylvia who shares the same mentor as Liu Rongrong.

There's also Phil, the elf rescued by Anno, as well as the fourth-tier Aisha and the sixth-tier Grin.
