Glad City!

Viscount Renault was handling official business when Augustine's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Excellency, there is a message from the Adventurers' Guild in the capital!"

"It's Augustine! Come in!"

Viscount Renault stopped writing and let Augustine in.

He took the envelope from Augustine and asked, "How's your training going lately? Have you learned any fourth-tier skills?"

"Thanks to the Viscount's guidance, I have mastered fourth-tier skills and officially become a fourth-tier knight."

As Augustine spoke of this, gratitude welled up in his eyes.

After the former Earl of Gladstone, Way Dick, was killed by Anno after turning into a demon, Viscount Reno not only spared Augustine's life but also spent a lot of resources to help him break through to the third tier.

He is currently level 21 and has mastered a fourth-tier skill.

He was the first knight guard of Viscount Renault.

"Very good. The stable development of Glad City and the Southern Territory will require even more of your efforts, Augustine!"

"I would serve the Viscount to the death!"

After exchanging the usual greetings between master and servant, Renault began to examine the contents of the envelope.

"The World's Number One Professional Player Tournament!"

Renault glanced at it and immediately thought of someone.

"This competition must have been conceived by that kid Anno. Only he could come up with such a novel competition!"

However, if this goes smoothly, I can also try to recruit some powerful adventurers.

After thinking for a while, Renault told Augustine the contents of the letter and instructed: "Regarding the construction of the tournament venue and related matters, you should send people to fully cooperate with President Mark and Vice President Hansen of the Adventurers' Guild in the city."

Time is tight, so we need to find several construction teams to finish building it before the competition date.

The competition rules and regulations have already been drafted in the letter; just follow them!

"clear!"

Augustine bowed to Renault, accepted the order, and left.

Renault was the only one left in the office.

He took a sip of black tea, sighed, and said, "What a pity, what a pity, such a person is not my son-in-law!"

Thinking about it carefully, if only Anno and Laura had gotten married back when Anno was still a Tier 1 professional.

Since the deed is done, given that kid's personality, he probably won't abandon me after starting something.

With Anno around, his viscount family might just be able to revive itself.

It's not impossible for him to regain the title of earl, or even marquis.

......

Valkam.

Phoebe, the former wanted thief in Glad City and now Laura's bodyguard and friend, also presents Laura with a letter.

"To select the world's best through a competition?"

Laura frowned slightly and lowered her head in thought.

Phoebe ate some of Laura's snacks on the table and asked curiously, "Will this work? If no strong people participate, the chosen number one in the world won't be worthy!"

"No way!"

Laura shook her head and explained, "The proposed top ten rewards are all very valuable, enough to tempt any professional who learns about it."

Furthermore, the event was also organized by the royal family, and the title of "Number One in the World" was also bestowed by the royal family.

Skilled professionals will likely register as adventurers and sign up for this competition.

"I see!"

Phoebe stuffed a whole pastry into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Can I join in too?"

"Phoebe is at Tier 2, which is just the threshold. If you want to give it a try, of course you can."

Laura picked up a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from Phoebe's mouth, then smiled and said, "However, there are probably a lot of people participating this time."

Although you reached level 15 with the help of Guild Master Salo, who was already a Tier 3 warrior, your strength is still...

Salo is one of Anno's confidants and the guild leader of the Val'kam guild!

When Anno left, Salo was still level 15.

After arduous training, I have now reached level 16.

Salo felt that since Phoebe was Lady Laura's personal bodyguard, her strength couldn't be too low.

So after Salo advanced to the third tier, he took Phoebe to the Valley of Ossans for a period of arduous training, raising the latter's strength to level 15.

"Lola, you underestimate me!"

Phoebe clenched her little fist and boasted, "You know, I used to be a 'thief' that even the guards of Gray City dreaded!"

"In the end, he still offended Brother Anno and got a lesson!" Laura covered her mouth and laughed.

The misunderstanding between Anno and Phoebe stemmed from Anno accepting the mission to rescue Laura.

"Uh... Lord Anno!"

When the name was mentioned, Phoebe laughed sheepishly, "I was young and naive back then, let's not talk about such embarrassing things anymore."

Compared to his previous life as a wanted man in Glad City.

Phoebe's life now is so much better than it was back then.

On the surface, Phoebe is Laura's bodyguard.

They have a very good relationship in private and call each other sisters.

All of this was because Phoebe met Anno.

Deep down, Phoebe felt both fear and gratitude towards Anno.

"Alright, Salo has probably heard the news too. We need to dedicate some of our energy to getting this done properly during this time."

Although the adventurers in the Southern Territory aren't of high rank, as the birthplace of adventurers, they should at least secure a few top-ten spots in lower-level competitions.

"Alright, I'll go discuss this with Salo right away!"

Phoebe picked up a piece of pastry and skipped away.

As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Scott, the butler, who was carrying a plate in.

"Little girl, always so impulsive!"

After being criticized, Phoebe gave an embarrassed smile and ran out in a flash.

Scott shook his head helplessly, turned and went into the room, saying to Laura, "Miss, this is today's milk."

......

Fei Ge's message, sent from the Royal City Adventurers' Guild, quickly spread the news of the "World's Number One Professional Tournament".

There are no adventurers' guilds in the West for the time being, and although Lance in the North wants to be a branch leader, he can't open a branch in time for this competition.

In the Southern and Eastern territories, with the support of Laura and Reno, there are at least a dozen adventurer guilds.

All the adventurers who received the news were thrilled.

The rewards are incredibly generous.

If we convert the champion's reward into gold coins.

Even a second-tier champion can earn thousands of gold coins!

For second-tier adventurers, the reward for bronze-level quests is generally between 1 and 100 gold.

The higher the grade, the more valuable the reward!

Almost no adventurer could resist the temptation.

In just a few days, the number of adventurers who went to the competition venue to register reached several thousand.

The registration fee is 10 silver coins per person, and participants will receive a participation certificate issued by the guild.

And this incident affects more than just adventurers.

After learning the news, ordinary people also started discussing it.

Especially when they saw a large number of construction teams building a huge arena for the martial arts competition, the onlookers were discussing whether they would be able to see a match between professionals.

Anno had already made preparations for this situation.

Laura and Viscount Renault issued a statement saying that when the match begins, all members of the public may voluntarily purchase tickets for 10 copper coins each to watch the game.
