I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.
Chapter 288 The Mission in Selby City
"You lowly wretch, you still dare to harm me!"
Earl Edward glanced disdainfully at the mangled corpse on the ground, then praised the man before him, "As expected of my trusted confidant! Compared to a fifth-tier expert, a fourth-tier expert is utterly insignificant!"
The man Edward called his confidant was dressed in black and held a blood-dripping dagger in his hand.
He wiped the dagger clean, sheathed it, and said to Earl Edward, "Your Excellency, the Face-Tearing Demon has been wreaking havoc in the city for a month. The fourth-tier mercenaries and soldiers we've sent out haven't been able to capture it. Perhaps I should go?"
"I'll let you go? Oh, no way!"
Earl Edward shook his head vigorously, "You have only one duty: to protect me!"
"But hundreds of civilians and dozens of professionals have already died, and now even the marquis's daughter has been murdered. If this isn't dealt with, the consequences will be dire!"
The confidant looked towards the left side of the room.
There lay the body of a red-haired woman.
His chest was pierced, and his heart was missing.
Moreover, his face was torn off, revealing horrific flesh and blood.
"Those stupid pigs, their only value is to provide me with taxes, it doesn't matter how many die."
The only problem is that the Marquis's daughter has been killed!
It seems we need to send someone to the capital.
The mercenaries in the royal city are stronger and should be able to capture the monsters within the city.
Furthermore, I heard that an adventurers' guild was recently established in the royal city, and the adventurers in it are quite strong.
Let the adventurers and mercenaries come together to deal with this monster!
I refuse to believe I can't kill it!
......
They were transported back to the forest where they first met Sasser via a teleportation array.
It was already evening.
However, in the most recent human city of Hel, the lord's daughter was the previous master of Sassi.
There had been a battle between the two sides.
Therefore, Anno did not intend to enter Hel City, but instead rushed to the royal city overnight.
With Isaacs's current strength, even carrying three people wouldn't affect her speed.
The next morning, Anno and his party arrived in the capital.
Sassi transformed into human form beforehand and put on a hooded outfit.
Both Liz and Ella were wearing hoods.
After resting at a tavern for a morning, Anno arrived at the Adventurers' Guild—and left Liz and the other two at the tavern.
After a month of development, the people in the royal city had become accustomed to the existence of the Adventurers' Guild.
Ordinary people and businessmen flocked to place their commissions.
Adventurers were constantly coming and going at the main entrance.
"The dragon-hunting teams from the southern border probably haven't returned to the capital yet!"
Anno suddenly realized this before joining the Adventurers' Guild.
Fortunately, Anno had changed his demeanor beforehand, so as not to leave any evidence against him.
After joining the guild, Anno observed that the adventurers' levels and quality had improved significantly.
The nameplates on everyone's chests were also different from the uniform iron nameplates they used to wear.
Bronze, silver, gold, and even fifth-tier platinum are all available!
The bunny girls and wolf girls recruited earlier are working methodically with a group of receptionists to distribute, settle, and update tasks.
After the framework was set, everything was developing in the direction Anno had envisioned.
"Hey, you guys, come look at this mission!"
"The quest giver is Earl Edward's butler from Selby City? And he's a Gold-level rank expert!"
"What's so surprising about the Gold tier? Besides, the reward is only the lowest tier of 1000 gold coins!"
"Exactly! There have been seven Platinum-level adventurers this month alone! Except for the initial [Dragon's Nest], all the others have been completed. The current Platinum-level adventurers all rose through the ranks using this method!"
"You think 1000 gold coins isn't enough? I think you've been an adventurer for too long and have forgotten the hard times you had before."
"I'd like to take this mission, but I haven't finished my previous one!"
"Recovering from injury..."
"Isn't this a platinum-level mission? How boring!"
Hearing the murmurs nearby, Anno shifted his strangely glowing eyes from the bunny girl and looked over.
Holy crap!
Seeing the backs of a group of grown men, Anuo felt that her mental world had been greatly polluted.
"It seems that [X-ray vision] also requires skillful operation!"
While waiting for Xue Feibai to return, Anuo was practicing her [X-ray vision] on the side.
If you apply too little force, you won't even be able to see through the surface of the clothing.
Excessive force will prevent you from seeing through the human body.
But inanimate objects do not obstruct perspective.
Anno can see right through the table.
He speculated that the magical energy flowing within the human body would block clairvoyance.
Anno rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the normal world.
He got up and walked into the crowd, watching the adventurers discuss the mission.
"The target is a monster hiding in the city. Its strength should be at the third tier, but it may have already broken through to the fourth tier."
The wolf girl, who had just posted the quest on the display board, reminded him, "Moreover, its stealth ability is extremely strong. According to the person who commissioned the quest, it has been lurking in the city for a month! I suggest that hunters with strong tracking abilities and thieves with strong stealth abilities accept this quest!"
"It has to be me!"
A fourth-tier hunter, with a folding crossbow strapped to his left arm, a machete at his waist, a gyrfalcon perched on his shoulder, and a large pack on his back, laughed heartily: "Perfect timing, I was just about to head to Selby City."
"Eugene, how about we go head-to-head?"
A fourth-tier thief standing nearby, who seemed to know the hunter, stroked his chin and said, "A monster that the Earl commissioned is probably not so easy to deal with. Although splitting the reward in half will leave us with less, at least it'll be safer!"
Even Wolf Girl nodded in agreement, saying, "Eugene, Joel makes a good point. I also suggest forming an adventure team of three to five people! Dealing with a fourth-tier monster would be a bit dangerous."
Eugene thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since Miss Wolf has put it that way, I'll certainly accept it. Joel, shall we take on this mission?"
"Yes, I'm free right now, I can leave anytime!"
"Alright! Since no one's going to compete with us, the two of us will set off."
Eugene tore off the commission form and went to the front desk to register.
Anno watched the two accept the mission and, combined with the discussion of the adventurers around them, realized that Eugene and Joel had known each other since they were still freelancers.
The two were friends; otherwise, Eugene wouldn't have so easily let someone join his team.
Anno had no liking for Earl Edward, the person who commissioned this mission.
Back when he was still at Tier 3, he was almost killed by Horace, a Tier 4 soldier from Selby City, because of Phil's matter.
Fortunately, he had the magic-type demon Ghost Soul at the time, which allowed him to use the [King's Power] to kill Horace.
"However, there's a problem with this timeframe!"
Anno recalled the mission description on the commission letter and pondered, "A month ago, the target monster couldn't have been the monster that Phil escaped from the slave trader and has been hiding ever since without being caught, could it?"
"After all this time, this guy must have killed quite a few people!"
"Vice President Lü, you're back?"
"Yes, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"
As Anno was pondering, he heard a familiar voice.
Turning around, I saw that it was Lü Yan, dressed in light armor, who had returned.
As if sensing something, Lü Yan, who was about to go upstairs, turned around and glanced at An Nuo.
