I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The scythe goblin cautiously looked around and, finding no enemies, retreated deeper into the forbidden forest.

Anno sent a goblin to follow the direction the scythe goblin had retreated for a while, and only after confirming that it had indeed left did he emerge from his hiding place.

"Master, why don't we leave here?"

Liz tilted her head and looked at Anno, asking in confusion.

If you don't intend to fight the scythe goblins now, why don't you leave after killing those low-level monsters?

"I'll search here for a while."

Anno looked at the dilapidated church ruins and moved closer.

Almost a month has passed, and apart from being a little dirtier and more chaotic, the dilapidated church has not changed.

The tall statue inside the church, now headless, also has one arm missing.

It's probably the work of a monster.

Anno searched the church carefully several times, but found nothing unusual.

Logically speaking, there must be something special about this place that can teleport so many people here.

"That's strange. Although this is another world, there must be some kind of teleportation array or magic circle that allowed us to get here. Otherwise, there's no way to explain it!"

Anno stood in front of the broken statue, frowning as he looked up.

When he was choosing his profession, he prayed to the statues of the six profession gods.

Although the statue in front of him was incomplete, Anno was certain that it was not one of the six statues.

"Perhaps, this is the god of summoning!"

Anno recalled the time when he sacrificed his first green-level soul and received a gift from the God of Summoning.

After standing there in contemplation for a moment, Anno bowed to the dilapidated statue.

Unfortunately, Anno didn't know the name of the God of Summoning, otherwise he would be calling out to him in his heart right now.

"No movement?"

Anno prayed for a few minutes, and after realizing that nothing had happened, he sighed.

Perhaps this statue has absolutely no connection to the god of summoning.

Perhaps this statue is the God of Summoning, but the current God of Summoning is still very weak and unable to respond to Anno.

"It seems that only when a higher-level soul is sacrificed will the God of Summoning regain more divinity, and then that will be reflected back to me."

Ever since learning about the God of Summoning, Anno has wanted to communicate with him.

Coming here is just an experiment.

Even if we fail, it's not a big deal.

Calling over Liz, who was waiting somewhat bored, Anno prepared to leave and continue deeper into the area.

The moment Anno stepped out of the church, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the broken stone pillar beside him.

If you look closely, you'll find that the stone pillar is covered with intricate runes!

Anno squinted for a while, then summoned the harpy and had it carry him into the air.

As the body grows taller, the field of vision also expands.

Soon, Anno had a complete view of the church and its surroundings.

When Anno saw the six stone pillars inside the church and the six stone pillars outside, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Just as I thought!"

The six stone pillars inside are actually an equal hexagon.

Each side connects to one of the six outer stone pillars, forming a six-pointed star array.

When Anor was in a contract with Liss, he also drew a six-pointed star array.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

After landing, Anno asked Liss to examine the runes on the pillar.

Unfortunately, Liz couldn't understand it either.

Anno felt as if he was about to touch something, but he was just one clue away from finding it.

This made him somewhat irritable, and he kept pacing back and forth in the church.

Suddenly, Anno stopped and kicked away the hanging pot in the center of the church—it was the pot that the monsters had used to boil water and make soup.

Then the harpies kept flapping their wings, blowing away the campfire and ashes below, revealing the dark floor.

"Whoosh!"

Anno blew away the remaining dust and discovered a regular hexagonal pit underneath.

The dent is only about the size of a palm and about five centimeters deep, and it is located in the very center of the entire church.

It's obvious that something used to be embedded here.

But now, this thing is lost.

"I wonder what this place is!"

The clues ended there, but hope was rekindled in Anno's heart.

Perhaps if we investigate further, we can find out why they came here.

Furthermore, they might even find a way to return to their original world.

Just as Anno was recording this discovery in his notebook, the goblin archer on guard outside suddenly issued a warning.

Anno quickly covered the crater with the nearby pebbles to hide it, then climbed out of the church and ran into the forest.

Before long, a group of human professionals appeared in the open space near the dilapidated church.

When they saw the charred corpses in front of the church ruins, everyone's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Charlie said to the red-haired man beside him, "There are corpses here too, and a lot of them. Looks like we're too late again!"

Red-haired Freeman squatted down, patted the goblin's corpse, turned around and said, "It's still warm. This battle just happened recently, so that kid Anno can't have gone far."

The people who arrived were Charlie and Freeman, along with their men.

A mercenary shrouded in black robes behind Freeman said, "Then hurry up and give chase!"

"Wait a moment!"

Charlie frowned and stopped everyone. He pointed to the scorch marks on the ground and said, "This looks like magic, and a powerful one at that."

According to the information gathered earlier, Anno can not only use summoned creatures to fight, but also use magic, and his melee abilities are quite good.

If this magic was cast by Anno, then I have to reconsider our cooperation.

"Charlie, are you scared?" The mercenary, shrouded in a black robe, sneered and said, "The rapid rise of the Adventurers' Guild not only affects the Bloodstain Mercenary Group, but also your number one ranked Fang Wolf Mercenary Group."

Eliminating Anno is for everyone's common good.

"No, no, no, I don't mean to back down now. If given the chance, I would certainly not hesitate to kill Anno. It's just that, don't you think we know too little about Anno?"

If the magic before us was caused by Anno, we must revise our plans against Anno to prevent unnecessary losses.

Sharp, do you think I'm right?

"Hmph, perhaps this was caused by that black-robed man next to Anno?" Sharp lifted his hood, revealing a sinister expression. "However, as long as we can kill Anno, you can devise any plan you want!"

Sharp Carr, who was wanted by the Viscount, was now surprisingly seen in the Forbidden Forest with Freeman.

They also reached an agreement with Charlie to prepare to take action against Anno.

Anno was also startled when he saw all this through the goblin warriors hidden in the ruins.

He didn't know how Sharp had gotten here.
