I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Dart desperately wanted to run away.

But reason told him that if he ran now, he would have no chance at all.

Although Dart had harbored some wishful thinking, he was not stupid.

Now that Anno has discovered it, any act of resistance will most likely provoke Anno's murderous intent.

At that time, he will likely be easily dealt with by Anno's summons, just like the monsters he encountered in the dungeon.

Having figured everything out in a very short time, Dart gave up the idea of ​​running away, rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and walked out of the camp with a big smile on his face.

As he walked, he said, "My lord, why didn't you inform me beforehand so I could have welcomed you?"

Dart's humble demeanor instantly stunned the onlookers.

When did they see Dart's face?

Even when facing Earl Sandbill, Dart, after reaching the seventh rank, barely paid him any attention.

Now, he's so obsequious to a young man!

Everyone immediately realized that the young man who had come to cause trouble for the Jackal Mercenary Group was not a simple person.

The most nervous person present was the sixth-tier hunter who had just made those harsh remarks to Anno.

Even his own leader, Dart, was so respectful to Anno.

What gives him the right to threaten others?

The hunter's unease grew stronger, especially when he saw Anno give him a cryptic smile.

Shadow Anno watched Dart emerge, then ignored Lab and smiled at Dart, saying, "I thought you were going to keep running!"

"How...how could this be?"

Dart broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "I...I'm overjoyed to see you, sir."

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into Dart's mind.

He straightened his back and reported to Anno with a serious expression: "Reporting to the lord, I have spent the last few months working hard to develop and expand my power and influence in Sandbir, with the aim of scouting ahead for your Adventurers' Guild."

The Jackal Mercenary Group that I founded is now the number one mercenary group in Sandbill.

This can be considered as laying the foundation for the development of the Adventurers' Guild in the Duchy of Aurel.

I should have informed you of this matter earlier, but the principality has recently encountered some difficulties, and I have been delayed.

Now that you, Lord, have come in person, the Jackal Mercenary Group's territory should revert to the Adventurers' Guild.

The jackal mercenary group members around Dart listened to his words with disbelief.

It seems that the most powerful mercenary group in Sambir City is about to be handed over to the Adventurers' Guild.

This is so surreal!

But for Dart, as long as he could make Anno happy, stop pursuing his past responsibilities, and save his life, nothing else mattered.

Compared to the shock of the mercenaries around him, Shadow Anno's face remained unchanged.

This made Dart very uneasy, unable to fathom Anno's meaning.

Just as the scene fell into an eerie silence, the arrival of a group of people broke the silence.

"Commander Dart, as the strongest mercenary force in Sambir City, what are you trying to do by mobilizing such a large force?"

A middle-aged man with short, naturally curly gray hair walked over, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The middle-aged man was Sam Douglas, the lord of Sambir.

After Count Sam walked over, he said to Dart with a smile, "The Jackal Mercenary Group has so many strong men. If they have energy to spare, why don't they go and clear out the missionaries around here?"

Although Count Sam's words were meant to praise the Jackal Mercenary Group, everyone could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

Anno immediately understood that the newcomer and Dart did not get along.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're not exactly doing very well here!"

Anno looked at Dart with disdain and said, "Anyone could come along and make sarcastic remarks about you!"

"How dare you! This is our lord, Earl Sam!"

Hearing Anno's words, the soldier next to Sam angrily retorted, "The lord spared no effort to save you, and you dare to speak like that!"

"How dare you! This is my lord, Baron Anno!"

Seeing his chance to shine, Dart rushed to Anno, pointing angrily at the soldier who had spoken earlier, and said, "Apologize to the Baron immediately, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Well......"

The soldier froze, then turned to look at Sam.

Sam was also dumbfounded.

The message just now reported that a powerful young man instantly defeated Labu of the Jackal Mercenary Group.

And they were preparing to cause trouble at the Jackal Mercenary Group's base.

Sam, who was worried about having no capable generals, immediately decided to save Anno after hearing this.

His original plan was to get Dart to do him a favor.

Then they recruit young people themselves.

But things didn't seem to be quite the same as I had imagined.

"Good dog!"

Anno's laughter suddenly rang out in the arena.

He laughed and clapped his hands.

Only when everyone's attention was focused on Anno did the latter walk up to Dart and speak in a very soft voice that Dart could hear:

"I was originally planning to get rid of you while I was at it, since you're so disloyal."

When Dart heard this, he instantly sensed a chilling killing intent emanating from Anno.

But the killing intent receded like the tide the next moment.

A smile appeared on Anno's face as well.

"But you did a good job, like a proper dog."

But you must remember, from today onwards...

Anno whispered in Date's ear, "You'll only live like a dog!"

I don't know why.

Dart felt that Anno was even more terrifying now than before.

But no matter what Anno said, he could only obey at this moment.

After all, the chilling killing intent he had just felt made Dart realize that Anno could easily crush him.

He speculated that Anno had likely already reached the eighth rank!

"I am Sam Douglas, Earl of the Duchy of Aurel and Lord of Sambir. May I ask your name, my friend?"

Sam, seeing himself left standing there, wasn't angry. Instead, he greeted Anno with a gentle expression.

"Wow, a big shot!"

Upon hearing this, Ano gestured for Dart to step back and then said to Sam, "My name is Ano!"

"Anno!?"

Sam frowned and glanced at the young man in front of him again.

A young man with black hair and black eyes.

He looks exactly like the rumored leader of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Your Excellency is none other than Anno, the guild master of the Adventurers' Guild of the Principality of Nigar?"

"That's right, it's me!"

Although it's just a shadow, it's still a kind of Anno.

Moreover, Anor came to Sambir with a specific purpose in mind: to find the lord of the city.

"Count Sam, is it? I happen to have something I'd like to ask you."

Anno walked up to Earl Sam and asked, "I would like to meet with a member of your royal family. Could you please inform them for me?"

The main reason Shadow Anor came to the Duchy was actually to borrow something called "Eye of the Ocean" from the royal family.

This item is a treasure strictly controlled by the royal family of Aurel.

It is a transparent hexagonal prismatic crystal.

The small ones are only the size of a fist, while the large ones are as tall as three meters!

When placed in seawater, the Eye of the Ocean can scan for surrounding sea creatures and monsters like a radar!

What makes it so valuable is that the scanning radius of the large Ocean Heart is as large as twenty kilometers!

If it is powered by external magic, it can operate at full power and even scan an area of ​​fifty kilometers!

This thing is an essential piece of 'high technology' for royal merchant ships, and it is extremely valuable.

However, it has no effect on land.

Shadow came here to borrow a piece.

After the sea creatures are defeated, they will be placed in the sea area next to the Ai'er Mountains.

From then on, if the sea creatures made any moves, they could take precautions in advance.
