I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno was not greedy.

Anno was thrilled by the various precious materials brought out from the ruins.

Anno had no intention of sharing the storage ring belonging to the owner of the ruins.

However, Anno still wanted to see what Philomena had gained.

Philomena pursed her lips upon hearing this.

"This god's divine essence is shattered, and there's basically nothing good in the ring. Besides, you won't need most of it, but I can."

Seeing that Anno was still unwilling to give up, Philomena patted her forehead, took out her storage ring, looked at it for a while, then took out a long, stick-like object and threw it to Anno, saying, "Found something useless to me. You can decide what to do with it."

Anno took it with both hands, watched Philomena's departing figure, and shook his head.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, if this deity had anything good, it would have used it up long ago before it died.

The remaining estimated value is not very high.

He genuinely had no intention of sharing the spoils.

After all, Philomena didn't want any of the things by the lake; he was simply curious about what a god's storage ring might contain.

"Hmm...is this a flute?"

Anno held the mahogany flute that Philomena had tossed to him, and after a moment of silence, muttered to himself, "Could this be the weapon of that god?"

The previous owner of the ruins was clearly a deity associated with sound.

Although it looks like an ordinary rosewood flute, Anno suddenly became excited when he thought that it belonged to a deity of a deity.

The hands holding the rosewood flute became cautious.

Just as Anno was about to ponder it carefully, Philomena's voice came from the front.

"Don't even think about it, this isn't a divine artifact! However, this thing does have some special features; it might represent a legacy!"

"Inheritance?"

Anno frowned, staring at the flute in his hand, and tried to use [Observer].

Upon closer inspection, they indeed discovered the unique features of the rosewood flute.

[A thousand-year-old, timeless redwood flute, containing the legacy of the God of Illusionary Sound. Those who can play this flute will obtain the [Illusionary Sound Master] profession!]

"God of Illusionary Sounds? [Illusionary Sound Master]? A profession I've never heard of before!"

Anno's eyes narrowed, and he immediately held the wooden flute horizontally in front of him.

He doesn't know how to play musical instruments and is tone-deaf.

But even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run, right?

It's always easy to just put your mouth on it and blow, right?

"All you have to do is play the flute, right?"

Anno took a deep breath, then put his mouth to one of the holes and blew hard.

But to Anno's surprise, no matter how hard he tried, even when his face turned red, he couldn't play the flute.

Or rather, this flute is simply unplayable.

It sounded as if the flute was blocked.

After several failed attempts, Anno had no choice but to give up.

"It seems I don't possess the abilities of a [Phantom Sound Master]."

Anno sighed and put the flute away.

This flute serves as a kind of statue of a deity.

If you pray to a statue of a deity and receive a response from the deity, it means you are qualified to choose the profession represented by that deity.

Although the God of Illusionary Sounds has fallen, he left behind this wooden flute that can be passed down to the [Illusionary Sound Master].

Anno's inability to produce a sound indicates that he lacks the talent of a [Phantom Sound Master].

"The six professions are the most widespread among humans."

But now, in addition to Summoners, there has also appeared the [Phantom Sound Master].

Does this mean that more than four hundred years ago, before the war of the gods, humans actually had many different professions?

After thinking for a while, Anno concluded that there was a very high probability that other professions existed.

"Philomena, I think I know who the owner of this ruin is!"

Anno caught up with Philomena and exclaimed, "Goddess of Illusory Sound!"

Philomena had been expecting Anno to say the other person's name, but after hearing it, she deflated like a punctured balloon and replied, "I have no recollection of it at all. It seems that the relevant memories have been sealed away."

"This wooden flute contains a profession called [Illusionist], but you need to play the flute first."

"Just as I thought."

Philomena nodded, looked at Anno for a while, and wondered how Anno knew about this.

She didn't ask because she was sure Anno wouldn't tell her.

"Judging from your appearance, I know you're not up to the task. Preserve this flute well and find a suitable successor for it."

If no one has yet re-formed the divine essence of the God of Illusionary Sound, you can even cultivate a God of Illusionary Sound using this wooden flute!

"That...is really exciting!"

Although Anno said this, there was no trace of happiness on his face.

He himself hasn't even become a god yet, how could he possibly cultivate a god of illusion and sound?

Moreover, there is already a God of Summoning.

As a summoner, the only way for him to become a god is to find other deities!

Or, to seize Philomena's divinity.

"Let's keep going. Who knows how long it will take to find the next ruin? The approximate location should be in the northern part of the Demon Realm. If we're 'lucky', we might even run into the Demon King's army!"

"With Philomena leading the way, I'm not afraid as long as we don't encounter the Demon King!"

Anno took out a cloak, put it back on, and then followed Philomena deeper into the Demon Realm.

......

Valkam.

After the sea creatures began their attack, Laura, as the lord, was extremely worried and busy every day.

Many scouts were stationed between the Aier Mountains and the city of Gruul to monitor the movements of the sea creatures, fearing that they might attack if they were not careful. Gruul City was originally the small town of Gruul, but after its reconstruction, it became a base for adventurers exploring the Aier Mountains and developed rapidly.

Laura's anxiety subsided slightly when Troy and several kingdoms' seventh-tier powerhouses arrived with their armies to provide support.

Even so, bad news kept coming every day.

Compared to the strength of the Val'kam, the Sea Clan's forces were simply too powerful.

Although only the sea creatures' commanders were at the eighth rank, the sea creatures at the seventh rank outnumbered the Valkam's forces!

The Aier Mountains have completely fallen, and almost none of the adventurers and soldiers who went in have returned.

Just when morale in Valkam was low, Xue Feibai and his group of adventurers arrived.

Xue Feibai, Lu Zhishang, Geng Qingxue, Lü Yan, Meng Xin, Liu Rongrong, Ning Wen, Wang Zixuan!

After arriving in Val'kam, the eight seventh-tier [Guardians] immediately entered the Aier Mountains.

That same day, the group returned to Gruul City with the heads of several seventh-tier sea creatures, greatly boosting the morale of the soldiers in the city and the Valkam behind them.

Moreover, batches of high-ranking officials from the kingdom arrived to provide support.

They were all trained by Anno back then!

In order to stabilize the situation in the Storm Sea as soon as possible, Tester sent 20 of his 29 Tier 7 Guard members over!

When Troy, the eighth-rank priest stationed in Gruul City, saw two squads of seventh-rank soldiers arrive to provide support, tears welled up in his eyes!
