I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Valkam!

The largest city on the southern border of the Kingdom of Niger.

One hundred kilometers south of Walkam lies the Ayer Mountains.

Further south lies the Storm Sea, a forbidden zone for humans!

The Aiur Mountains are home to all sorts of monsters, but they are not the main force of the Demon King's army; most of them are below level 15.

Of course, these are all just guesses of the Valkam people.

As for whether there are monsters above level 15 in the Ai'er Mountains, nobody knows.

After all, no mercenary group was willing to risk annihilation to travel to the Aiur Mountains to verify this information.

Since it is currently a truce, the monsters of the Aiur Mountains have not launched a large-scale invasion.

However, minor frictions occur every day.

Hordes of monsters frequently attack the villages and towns surrounding Val'kam.

Viscount Renault, the ruler of Val'kam, also offers bounties for some particularly dangerous monsters.

Mercenary groups hunt down these bounty-bearing monsters for commission.

As Anno and his party approached Valkam, they were all awestruck by the towering city walls before them.

"As expected of Walkam!"

Looking at the wooden bridge that stretched for over ten meters ahead, Xue Feibai exclaimed excitedly, "The moat is over ten meters wide! What kind of demons could possibly conquer a city like this?"

The others also looked like they felt safe living here.

Anno glanced at everyone and gave a wry smile.

They had all lost their memories, and their understanding of monsters was limited to the goblins and slimes they had encountered so far; everything else was hearsay.

The Val'kam before us is magnificent, but there are also flying species among the monsters.

Even the city walls cannot stop flying monsters.

"Let's go into town!"

Anno followed the caravan, urging the others to hurry up and catch up.

Upon arriving near the city gate, the group saw a row of fully armed guards standing on both sides.

Each row consists of five men, all dressed in full plate armor and wearing helmets, each carrying a long spear.

The guards' sharp eyes swept across the passing crowd, exuding an imposing aura!

Their equipment and imposing presence far surpassed those of the guards in the town of Gruul, who were escorting the caravan.

"Is this what a professional soldier in a regular army looks like?"

Anno licked her lips, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

The equipment these guards are wearing looks very luxurious; Anno simply can't afford it.

Manufacturing armor requires a large amount of materials such as steel.

Some individual pieces, such as breastplates, are more expensive than weapons.

Not to mention a complete set of protective gear.

The guards in the town of Gruel only had a few pieces of protective gear, not a full set at all.

Anuo and Xue Feibai could only drool over the equipment worn by the guards.

Led by Mayor Ria, Anno and his group entered Warkam.

Behind the thick city walls are numerous medieval-style buildings and a diverse group of people.

Valcalm, known as the "Southern Frontier," naturally has a large number of professionals.

In the town of Gruul, besides the guards and priests, the only other professionals Anno saw were Harry and his group.

But as soon as they entered Valkam, several professionals wearing equipment walked by on the street in front of them!

As it was getting dark, Anno led the group to a hotel where they rested for the night, following the caravan.

The hotel's prices were 20% higher than the Moonlit Inn in Gruul Town, but the service and comfort were also much better.

After the nine people finished their meal, they booked three rooms to rest.

Silent all night.

By the time Anuo got up, it was already broad daylight.

After asking the staff, I learned that it was already past seven o'clock.

Old John and the other merchants had already gone out on business.

Everyone only has one day.

The mayor will lead the caravan back early tomorrow morning.

If you miss it, you can either issue a mission to have a mercenary group escort you back.

Alternatively, they could only wait a month for the caravans in town to come again, and then follow them back.

As for returning alone...

Monsters love to attack lone humans!

Anno and the others did not intend to return with the caravan.

Becoming a professional requires a period of training with a mentor.

Only by mastering the basic skills of a profession can one be considered a professional!

After finishing breakfast, Anno and his group prepared to go find their mentor.

This was their primary task upon arriving in Walkam.

On the way here, everyone discussed career choices more than once.

Finally, a solution was determined.

The team's main players are Anuo, Xue Feibai, Lu Zhishang, Lü Yan, and Meng Xin.

The second tier consists of Liu Rongrong, Geng Qingxue, Ning Wen, and Wang Zixuan.

The first echelon, as the main combat personnel, must have a reasonable job allocation.

The six major professions for humans are warrior, knight, mage, hunter, priest, and thief.

Warriors, with high attack and high defense, are best suited to be the vanguard of the team, with their strong physiques, such as Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang.

Knights are more mobile than warriors, and it was ultimately Lü Yan who chose this profession.

Meng Xin chose the thief class, which offers better stealth, and can act as the team's eyes and ears alongside the hunter class.

The hunter class is quite unique. They can use bows and arrows for ranged attacks, short swords for melee combat, tame battle pets to assist in battle, and create traps.

In short, this profession seems like an all-rounder.

But it's also the most difficult!

Because there is so much to learn.

If you can't master it well, you'll end up with a useless profession where you know a little bit about everything but aren't proficient in anything.

Anno values ​​this profession because hunters can have pets.

Summoned creatures can't stay hidden forever; they'll eventually make their appearance.

The hunter class's ability to bring pets is perfect for providing cover for Anno.

Five people chose four different professions.

As a qualified adventurer, your team must not have any weaknesses!

The remaining two professions are filled by the second tier.

Priests are an indispensable class as they can heal teammates.

Anno encouraged Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen to choose this profession.

Geng Qingxue and Wang Zixuan became magicians.

As a damage dealer, the mage should rightfully be one of the top-tier players.

However, the five people's current choices are all professions that best suit their personalities.

Ultimately, it was decided to allocate jobs according to the aforementioned results.

In this way, the team of nine people became two warriors, two mages, two priests, one knight, one thief, and one hunter.

According to the standard configuration of a ten-person mercenary team in this world, the team is still missing a knight.

However, that's enough.

It's worth mentioning that choosing one profession doesn't preclude one from choosing other professions.

However, mastering a profession requires exhausting all one's energy.

Very few people choose to have multiple careers.

After finding out the location of every profession mentor in the city, Anno headed to the Hunter Profession Headquarters alone.

Of course, before he left, he gave each of the others ten silver coins—Anno had specifically exchanged the gold coins for silver coins at the tavern where he was staying.

Although the basic skills to become a professional only require a tuition fee of five silver coins.

However, as a team member, you can't go without any money on you.

Walkam is very large.

Annu set off from the tavern where he was staying and walked for nearly half an hour before finally finding the location of his hunter mentor.

That was a manor covering about ten acres!

Above the manor gate is a plaque.

It says "Hunter's House" on it!
