I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Three horses in the convoy inhaled the sleeping powder and fell asleep.

No matter how the mercenaries kicked and beat the three horses, they couldn't wake them up.

In order to travel normally, the mercenaries had to give up their horses to pull the cart.

As for the person who gave the horse, it was naturally Freeman's man.

After giving up their horses, they squeezed into the cramped carriage along with the cargo.

The convoy continued on its way, and not far along, they encountered another swift leopard.

The Swift Leopard did not attack the convoy; it watched the convoy from a distance for a while before leaving.

Not only that, they later encountered hordes of carrion beasts.

Carrion is a common ground-dwelling magical beast found in the wild. It resembles a large canine and is highly aggressive, with a particular fondness for feeding on the rotting corpses of other creatures.

Because they eat rotten bodies all year round, their teeth are covered with a lot of toxins.

If a bite is not treated promptly, it can lead to ulceration of the wound and death from systemic poisoning.

However, the carrion beast is only level 5.

With the strength of the three major mercenary groups, there is nothing to fear.

More than forty carrion beasts attacked the convoy, but were mostly wiped out in just ten minutes.

The few remaining carrion beasts, seeing the situation was dire, scattered and fled.

"What bad luck!"

There were no valuable parts on the carrion beast, Freeman cursed as he was attacked.

Since killing level 5 monsters no longer grants experience, Anno wasn't very proactive in the battle.

He simply stayed by Croft's side, and only when a blind carrion charged at him did Anno draw his longsword and kill it.

Croft was initially a little nervous, but seeing that no carrion beast could break through Anno's defenses, he gradually became bolder and even discussed with the coachman next to him who was stronger.

Although there were some minor incidents along the way, nothing unexpected happened.

As darkness fell, the convoy finally arrived at the town of Grür.

After several days of repairs, the north gate of the town has been restored.

Once inside, you can see the broken walls and ruins, a scene of desolation, as if you can still see the battle that took place a few nights ago.

Mayor Lia, who was waiting at the town gate, had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the town.

Once the convoy entered the town, he quickly went up to greet Anno and Croft.

"Lord Croft, I've been waiting ever since I heard you were coming, and I'm so glad you've finally arrived! Lord Anno, you've come too! Thank you for saving us with the adventurers last time!"

After greeting Croft, Ria walked excitedly to Anno.

The town was able to escape disaster last time thanks to the help of Anno and the adventurers.

Charlie and Freeman, left standing to the side, felt somewhat awkward.

Especially the latter.

The Bloodstained Mercenary Group participated in the battle last time, but because Sharp led the retreat, the others followed suit, which not only made Sharp a disgrace but also greatly damaged the reputation of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group.

Seeing the mayor thank Anno, Freeman felt a surge of anger.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mayor Anno and Mayor Ria, he had Croft sign the order form to signify that the mission was completed.

Because Anno had been protecting Croft closely when they encountered carrion beasts, he gave the mission an excellent rating.

Anno put away the commission form, said goodbye to everyone, and went to find Old John, the blacksmith in town.

Old John's shop was unaffected in the last battle.

Moreover, he received a reward from the Viscount for providing weapons last time.

Anno took off his helmet and went into the blacksmith's shop, where he saw old John hunched over behind the counter, organizing things.

"Uncle John, how about we grab a drink at the Moonlight Tavern?"

Old John paused upon hearing the familiar voice, then dropped what he was holding, turned around, and walked out from behind the counter, saying in a muffled voice, "It's your treat!"

"Absolutely!"

The two walked out of the blacksmith shop together and led Liz, who was waiting at the door, to the Light Moon Tavern.

Although the Light Moon Tavern was not destroyed, its business was dismal.

When Anno led old John through the door, Len and his wife were sitting at the counter with worried expressions.

"Welcome, Lord Anno!"

When he saw guests arrive, Lenn smiled.

When he saw it was Anuo, his expression turned to surprise.

"Lord Anno, what brings you here? Please have a seat. Have you eaten? I'll go and make you some dishes."

Anno waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lunn, there's no need to be so polite. We're just here for a simple meal."

"Look at what you're saying! If it weren't for you and all the other lords fighting so hard when the monsters attacked a few days ago, we would have become their food long ago!" As he spoke, Lunn took a bottle of sake from behind the counter and placed it on the table in front of Anno.

Anno glanced at Liz behind him and said to Lunn, "Uncle Lunn, please find me a room first. My companion needs to rest for a while. I'll cook a separate meal for her later."

"Oh, oh!" Lenn bowed slightly to Liz, who was wrapped in a black robe, and said, "So you're Lord Anno's companion. Hello!"

"Hello!" Liz's voice came from inside the cloak.

Upon hearing a woman's voice, Lenn and Old John glanced between Anno and Liz for a moment before revealing an "I see" smile.

"Marie, quickly take Lord Anno's companions to their room," Lenn called to his wife.

He then went to the back of the kitchen and got busy.

Before long, several dishes were served on the table.

The three of them ate and talked.

Old John and Len are mainly talking about the impact of the monster attack on the town.

Someone from that town broke their leg while fleeing that night.

The crops outside have been mostly destroyed by the slimes, and the town is expected to have no harvest this year.

Many merchants have already packed their belongings and are preparing to move to other villages or towns, or even to live in Warkam.

In short, the monster attacks not only caused loss of life and property, but also made the people in the town feel very unsafe, fearing that the monsters would come again.

After listening, Anno told the two the purpose of his visit.

As the Adventurers' Guild grows, the demand for weapons and equipment naturally increases.

Nowadays, adventurers go to the blacksmith shop to change their equipment.

Now Anno wants to hire Old John to go to Valcalm to craft equipment for the guild.

The crafted equipment can be sold directly within the guild at a slightly lower price.

This benefited both the adventurers and Old John, who received many more orders.

As for Lenn...

Anno wanted to give him the Adventurers' Guild's catering package.

In this way, the Adventurers' Guild is not only a place to accept quests, but also a place for everyone to eat, have fun, share information, and even buy equipment.

This not only made things easier for adventurers but also increased the guild's income.

Furthermore, Anno plans to launch an adventurer squad mode as his next step.

Allowing adventurers to get to know each other while eating in the guild is beneficial for forming teams.

Since we're starting an adventurers' guild, we should naturally go all out!
