I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Fine, you can leave now!"

Hearing the little skeleton's pleas for mercy, Anno put away his weapon and made way for it.

"Um?"

Philomena, Liz, and Sassi all looked at Anno with incredulous expressions.

"Anno, what are you thinking about?"

Philomena stepped forward and stomped on the little skeleton that was trying to get up, looking at Anno as if he were an idiot.

"This is the underworld. If you let it go now, our information might be leaked to the surrounding spirits!"

The little skeleton being trampled underfoot never expected that a human girl could have such great strength.

It originally thought that apart from Anno, Sassi in her wolf form was the biggest threat.

If it had flesh and blood, it would probably be covered in cold sweat by now.

"Kind humans, I'm just a harmless little skeleton, please let me go!"

The little skeleton's voice sounded like that of a five- or six-year-old child, making one feel an irresistible tenderness.

"Looks like I was being too nervous. Skeletons like that pose no threat to us."

Philomena, who was about to attack the little skeleton, heard its pleas for mercy and quickly helped it up, her tone softening considerably, "Let's get out of here!"

"Huh? Are we really going to let it go?"

Liz and Sassi looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the little skeleton seemed afraid that Philomena would change her mind, or perhaps worried that Liz would come up and hold it down again, so it quickly turned around and ran away.

boom!

A demon suddenly appeared in front of the little skeleton and swatted it back.

"Where do you want to run?"

Anno drew his longsword again, pointing it at the little skeleton, and said, "I almost fell for your trick!"

"Master, what exactly happened?"

Seeing that Anno, who had previously been preparing to let the little skeleton leave, had changed his personality again, Liz and Sassi sensed that something was wrong and surrounded the little skeleton in the middle.

"Anno, I already told you it won't affect us. It's just a little skeleton, why do you have to make things difficult for it?"

Philomena walked up to Anno, her tone somewhat displeased.

It seems she still wants to let Anuo leave.

"Philomena, are you out of your mind? Didn't you say in the beginning that letting it go would lead to our intelligence being leaked?"

Liz frowned as she looked at Philomena.

"She's not possessed!"

Anno pointed at the little skeleton and said, "This guy was behind it!"

Name: Trollope Luciné

Race: Undead Skeleton

Rating: 20

Class: Undead Thief

Life: 20000/20000

Mana: 5000/10000

Skills: [Dead Man], [Silent Step], [Conceal Breath], [Assassination], [Digging]...

Talent: [Bone of Compassion]

According to the information displayed by the [Observer], this undead skeleton, which is only of the third rank, is actually a [Protector].

Moreover, it is an Protector who has not yet matured.

When Anno saw the hidden skeleton earlier, he had murderous intent in his heart.

But after the other party begged for mercy, Anno was actually influenced by them and subconsciously chose to let the other party leave.

Anno only realized this later when he was recovering.

At the time, Anno was completely unaware that he was leaving a hidden danger behind.

It now seems that it was the skeleton's talent, [Bone of Compassion], that affected him.

Including Philomena, who is still speaking up for the little skeleton.

"What a terrifying talent!"

Seeing Philomena standing in front of the little skeleton and glaring at him, Anno became increasingly curious about the little skeleton's talent effects.

Based on the current situation, it can be inferred that [Bone of Compassion] is a talent that makes the target develop a favorable impression of you.

The problem is, what level is this skeleton?

Level 20!

It's one thing for a peak third-tier player to be able to influence Anno, a level 44 eighth-tier player.

Even Philomena, who was once the God of Summoning and has now recovered to the ninth rank, was affected.

The talent [Bone of Compassion] seems to work regardless of rank!

This was the first time Anno had ever seen this type of talent.

Among the twelve kings of the Adventurers' Guild, there are a wide variety of talents.

Xue Feibai's talent [Bloodlust Berserker], Lu Zhishang's [Abstinence from Killing], Geng Qingxue's [Magic Amplification], etc.

Even Anno's own [Spirit Offering] has its effects continuously improved as his level increases.

Anno currently possesses several ninth-tier dragon scorpion souls, but due to his strength being only at the eighth tier, he is unable to sacrifice and summon them.

However, the little skeleton in front of them, with its Tier 3 [Bone of Compassion], could affect Anno and Philomena, an effect that was truly terrifying.

If Anno were alone today, he would have already been escaped by the little skeleton.

However, this talent that seems to ignore level should have a fatal flaw.

That means it cannot be used on two people at the same time.

When Anno was first infected, Philomena threatened to kill the little skeleton.

The little skeleton then begged Philomena for mercy, and she immediately changed her attitude completely.

But Anno returned to normal.

Anno, who had already vaguely guessed the limitations of the skeleton's talent, summoned a group of eighth-tier summons, including the demon Buck, to surround the little skeleton.

At this moment, the little skeleton saw the various monsters around it, and the soul fire in its eye sockets calmed down.

With this kind of situation, there's no way they can escape.

"I knew good luck would eventually run out; no spirit can be released by others forever."

The little skeleton slumped to the ground, then lay back down, looking at the gray sky and saying, "Forget it, whether undead or human, I might as well just die like this."

After the little skeleton finished speaking, Philomena, who was still arguing with Anno, suddenly fell silent.

After taking a second to think about what she had just done, Philomena immediately turned around, pointed at the little skeleton, and raised her hand to prepare her magic.

However, Anno stopped her.

"Has this affected Anno again?"

Philomena thought that Anno was being controlled like she had been before.

This further strengthened her resolve to eliminate the little skeleton.

"Don't worry, I'm not being controlled!"

Anno grabbed Philomena's hand, stopping her magic, and looked at the little skeleton, saying, "It's a [Guardian]. The decision we made just now was influenced by its talent."

But now, it seems to have given up the struggle.

"The Protector?"

Philomena frowned slightly, looking at the little skeleton lying on the ground waiting to die, as if she couldn't believe it.

Anno has too many protectors around him.

Their combat strength is higher than that of their peers.

But right now, the options are either kneeling down and begging for mercy or lying down and waiting to die.

There are actually such talents in this world?
