I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"My lord, a new summoner has appeared at the world's number one competition venue, and his class is the same as the one we are looking for, Anno."

In the branch of the Holy Church in Sodar, Smedley, who was praying, heard his subordinate's report behind him and said calmly, "Hmm, I understand. May the Lord's light protect you."

After his subordinates left, Smedley continued to pray until the prayer was finished before rising from the statue.

"A week ago, the archbishop at headquarters issued an order to stop searching for Anno. Now, a new summoner has appeared. What's the connection between these events?"

Smedley is only at the sixth rank, which is only considered a decent fighting force for the church.

Its position at headquarters is not high.

There are many things she doesn't understand and can only guess at.

She had been tracking down Anno's whereabouts ever since she received orders several months ago.

To this end, they also joined forces with five other holy sites of human professions to issue legendary quests through the Adventurers' Guild.

Headquarters has been urging us to address this issue.

A week ago, headquarters issued another instruction.

This time, however, instead of urging her to find Anno quickly, she was told that the mission was canceled and that she only needed to continue guarding the branch.

Smedley is still wondering about this these days.

When Ruth's information reached her ears.

She seemed to understand something.

But I didn't understand.

"Anno, Ruth, the Seventh Class, the Demon King's Army Invades, the Sea Clan Lands!"

Smedley listed all the recent events and murmured, "Could something huge be about to happen on the continent of Angoros?"

After pondering for several minutes in front of the statue of the Goddess of Holy Light, she decided to head to the Adventurers' Guild.

A significant deposit was paid to issue a legendary quest.

The Holy Church also contributed 200,000 gold coins.

The church later reimbursed these gold coins.

That's why she's going to get the money back.

......

Offstage, after Ruth's victory, Anno saw many people leave the venue.

"Should we go back and inform them?"

After a moment's thought, Anno told Xue Feibai to go back to the guild and collect the legendary mission notice.

If the client wants to withdraw the commission, Xue Feibai will inform them that the task has been completed.

At that time, Anno will naturally be taken back to the Adventurers' Guild and then collect his bounty.

If the client does not intend to withdraw the commission and inquires why the task has disappeared.

Then tell the other party that the power of attorney has been posted for too long and has become damaged, and that a new power of attorney is being prepared.

In short, we must never return that deposit if we have the chance.

Even if the commission is withdrawn, the guild still needs to charge a 5% handling fee based on the total bounty amount.

But Anno wanted them all.

Upon hearing An Nuo's arrangement, Xue Feibai immediately left the venue with Geng Qingxue.

Off the field, the competition between the second-tier fighters was still ongoing.

However, because the battles between Chinodo and Ragnarok, and Ruth and the seeded players from Gladys City were so exciting, the later matches were slightly less impressive.

There was a bit of excitement when Black Rose (Selena) appeared.

This is not a celebration of Black Rose's strength.

What everyone wanted to see was the expression on Black Rose's opponent's face when facing Black Rose, who was covered in magical equipment, and helplessly admitting defeat in the end.

In the end, everyone got what they wanted, and many people laughed out loud.

Only when the Black Rose's opponent is injured is the world complete.

Because each match is a two-person duel, and there are 150 people advancing to the second tier in the first round, and there is only one large arena in the hall, the progress is very slow.

At lunchtime, the first round of elimination matches was only halfway through.

At this pace, Ruth and the others who have already won will only have their matches tomorrow.

Largille went to dinner with his new friend Chinodo.

Ruth bought a black bread from a roadside shop, ate a few bites, and then began to stroll around the royal city.

Just like what she did after arriving in the royal city yesterday, Ruth is now going to spread the word about the Summoning God among the common people and expand Philomena's followers.

When Ruth arrived yesterday, because she wasn't very famous, she went around promoting the seventh profession that people had never heard of.

The people thought she was a cult member and secretly called the guards to arrest her.

Fortunately, she had proof of participation, which explained Ruth's identity.

"The championship tournament still has a few days to go. Once I become the champion, it will be much easier for me to spread Lady Philomena's name! But I can't be idle these few days. I'll try to promote myself in advance to pave the way for my missionary work after I win the championship!"

Ruth took off her hood and walked toward the street.

"Miss Ruth, with your means, is it possible that you're only eating black bread because you're having financial problems?"

We are the Beast Mercenary Group, one of the kingdom's top ten mercenary groups, and we cordially invite you to join us.

If you choose to join us, your status will be immediately upgraded to that of a full member. Full members of the Beast Mercenary Group are all mid-level professionals of rank four or higher!

Ruth frowned as she looked at the shirtless mercenary with tattoos of various magical beasts that appeared before her.

"Sorry, I don't want to join any mercenary group right now!"

When she refused, Ruth gripped her staff with both hands and looked at the other person warily.

"Miss Ruth, you may not know what the Beasts Mercenary Group means. Let me explain..."

"That young lady already said she won't join any mercenary group. What, does your Beasts Mercenary Group intend to use its name to bully us and force our participants to join?"

Anno appeared not far behind Ruth, arms crossed, smiling as he stared at the two beastmen.

Both of them are at the fourth rank, level 21 and 22 respectively.

The threat is not significant.

Moreover, the commotion here has attracted a large crowd.

Ruth's performance at the clubhouse that morning made many people recognize the beautiful girl with short blonde hair.

Among the onlookers were even some who were trying to win over Ruth's forces, but the Beastmen beat them to it.

"It's Ruth, who has mastered the seventh profession, Summoner. I watched her match this morning; she summoned three level 15 magical beasts and monsters. The guy who was playing against her almost had his eyes pop out of his head and immediately admitted defeat!"

"So what's the situation now?"

"It seems the Beasts Mercenary Group wanted the girl to join, but she wasn't willing, so they started threatening and intimidating her!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Hearing the whispers around them, the two beastmen immediately couldn't hold back, pointing at each other and saying, "You can eat more, but you can't talk nonsense! When did we threaten her?!"

One of them glared at the person spreading the rumors, then turned to Anno, took a deep breath, and said, "Blood Wolf Knight, we've heard you're also a solo adventurer. If you'd like to join the Beasts Mercenary Group, you're welcome to join as well."

If it were anyone else, the Beastmen would have already confronted them.

What? Even cats and dogs dare to interfere in the affairs of beasts?

But the one in front of me is the Blood Wolf Knight.

Although Blood Wolf is not by her side, Ann's strength should not be underestimated.

There are many rumors circulating that the Blood Wolf Knight is still hiding his true strength.

Despite being only level 22, An is considered by many to be a top ten candidate for the fourth tier.

"Sorry, I'm used to a leisurely life; being a free-spirited adventurer is what I'm after."

Anno walked over to Ruth, glanced down at the little girl who had retreated to the wall, shook his head, and said, "Little one, come with me!"

"I don't know you, I'm not going!"

Ruth shook her head, her eyes filled with even greater wariness.

She's a little scared now.

Why are there people all over the royal city who seem to be trying to kidnap her?

Seeing this, Anno leaned down and whispered in Ruth's ear.

Just as Ruth was about to jump away, she suddenly heard a sentence.

"Didn't Philomena introduce me to you?"

Swish~!

Ruth immediately looked up, her big eyes fixed on Anno.

Shh~, come with me!

Anno put his index finger to his lips, signaling Ruth not to say it.

"Uh-huh!"

Ruth nodded heavily, her face beaming with joy as she hugged her staff and followed closely behind Anno as they left.

Two Beast Mercenaries were left dumbfounded.

"What did the Blood Wolf Knight just say? Why did Ruth leave with him so easily?"
