"An! Sister Aisha, look! It's An!"

When Anno spotted Phil, Phil, who was having dinner at the table, also saw Anno at the door.

"An, come here quickly!"

A cute, white-haired, elfin-like girl (actually forty years old) waved and shouted happily towards the door.

Many people in the guild unconsciously turned their gaze toward An at the door.

"Who is this guy? Why does he look familiar with those elves?"

"Judging from his physical characteristics, the masked one next to him should be a succubus, a contracted creature. And with such a huge wolf, their strength must be considerable!"

"Judging from the nameplate on his chest, he's an adventurer too. And a silver-level one at that, at least a tier-three hunter!"

Many people now register as adventurers just to take on legendary quests.

Therefore, many people present were at the third, fourth, or even fifth level.

However, most people's nameplates are made of black iron.

The fact that Anno, who possesses a silver nameplate, and Green, who has a sixth-tier mithril nameplate, became acquainted with each other naturally sparked a lot of discussion.

Currently, the strongest professional gathered in the town of Gruul is the sixth-tier elf, Grin.

Hearing Phil's call, Anno walked over with a smile.

Sassiel wanted to go too, but because of her size, she squatted outside the guild.

"Ann, what brings you to Gruul? Are you here to hunt dragons too?"

As soon as Anno sat down, Phil bombarded him with a series of questions.

"I'm just here to join in the fun and broaden my horizons!" Anno replied with a smile, then greeted Aisha and Green.

Aisha nodded indifferently and continued eating the vegetables on her plate.

Green gestured for Anno to sit down, then stared at Anno for a moment before saying, "Your strength seems to have improved!"

Although Anno did not emit any magical fluctuations, Green was still a sixth-tier powerhouse.

He could sense subtle changes in Anno.

"There has been some progress!"

Anno was very humble in front of Green.

It wasn't just because the other party was a sixth-tier powerhouse and an elf, but also because the other party was a genius.

When he met Green because of Phil's matter, he was only level 30.

Not long after Green registered at the Adventurers' Guild in the Royal Capital, he had already reached level 32!

With such an astonishing speed of leveling up, Anno guessed that Green had probably mastered some powerful skill.

Green poured Anno a glass of wine and said unhurriedly, "If it's for the dragon, then you're too late! I heard the dragon has already been tamed by the Adventurers' Guild Master. Most of the people here now are here for that legendary quest!"

"So you're here for a legendary mission too?" Anno asked casually.

"That's not how it works, An!"

Before Green could answer, Phil leaned close to Anno and whispered, "Actually, Uncle Green thinks the rumor is false!"

Anno's brow twitched, and he asked, "Oh, what do you mean?"

"This isn't exactly a secret among mid-level professionals!" Green took a sip of his drink and explained, "Someone has gathered information on the Adventurers' Guild Master and speculated that his strength is at most at the third level!"

The dragon's power had already been proven in the Land of Sunset.

Even a fifth-tier cultivator has fallen.

With such a huge difference in strength, no one believed that the Adventurers' Guild Master could subdue a dragon.

I suspect this is just a message deliberately spread by people from the Holy Church to take advantage of the professionals gathered in the South.

Anno pretended to ponder for a while.

Green's thinking was very insightful, and other mid-level adventurers probably had the same idea.

Those lower-level professionals knew that there was a high probability that they would get nothing this time, so they simply focused their energy on finding Anno.

Thinking of this, Anno asked, "You've been in the Southern Territory for quite some time now, haven't you? With your strength, hunting a fourth-tier dragon shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Green is now a sixth-tier powerhouse.

It is two ranks higher than a dragon.

To everyone's surprise, Green shook his head and said regretfully, "I've been here for a few days now, and I've even been to the Aier Mountains. But it's too vast, and I haven't encountered any trace of dragons."

Anno then asked, "What would you do if you encountered a dragon?"

Green replied matter-of-factly, "Of course we killed them! Dragons are very evil creatures; their existence could bring disaster to many people."

"Well!"

Anno was somewhat speechless.

As expected of a sixth-tier expert, his words are indeed domineering.

"Hey, let's not talk about these things anymore." Phil glared at Green with some displeasure, then turned to Anno, his big eyes blinking.

"Ann, let me tell you about my adventure from Sodar to the town of Gruul! Just so you know, I didn't ask Sister Ash or Uncle Green for help."

In a small town far from the capital.

The people there were attacked by a group of goblins.

I accepted the commission as an adventurer and helped them clear out the monsters. Everyone there calls me Lord Phil!

Then we went to our next destination...

Anno ordered some food and listened as Phil recounted his experiences with great enthusiasm.

Because Sylvia was also there, and Anno was afraid of being recognized, Liz didn't eat.

A table not far away.

Sylvia bit her lip, looking at Anno's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

Why does it feel so familiar?

Sylvia frowned, somewhat puzzled.

She had never actually seen what Liz looked like.

When she fought alongside Anno, she didn't even know Liz existed.

She naturally didn't recognize Anno, who had become An.

But when I looked at Anno, I had a feeling of familiarity.

"Sylvia, what's wrong?"

The fifth-tier mage, Salom, followed Sylvia's gaze and said curiously, "That male elf is incredibly strong; they've been keeping strangers at bay these past few days. This newcomer, I wonder who he is, is actually able to chat and laugh so easily with the elves."

"We probably knew each other before!" Knight Ocasio said casually.

Sylvia didn't say anything and continued eating with her head down.

Anno's arrival simply added another topic of discussion to everyone's minds.

For most people, it has no impact.

Just as everyone was eating and drinking, a group of people suddenly burst in.

The very first thing this group said caused a huge uproar.

"A dragon has appeared! A mercenary group was chased by a dragon two hours ago, ten kilometers south of the town of Gruul!"
