As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Roy didn't really care. After all, training meant taking it seriously. But with Carl's experience as a precedent, he didn't dare to offend the head maid.

By lunchtime, Anya had finally calmed down, and the father and son had a chance to talk about training.

"I should be advancing to Sequence 8 soon, but, how should I put it, there always feels like there's a barrier between us..."

A moment of surprise flashed across Carl's face, and then he maintained his usual composure.

"That's normal. It means you're only one step away from Sequence 8." Carlton paused, then added, "Not bad. You're making rapid progress."

Roy was in a delicate mood.

The way to advance [Iron Blood] is through a life-and-death battle. The more intense the battle is, the easier it is to advance the bloodline.

He was almost half dead after the battle with the Red Blood Fire Dragon. It would be a miracle if he didn't make rapid progress.

Are you envious? I paid for it with my life!

However, before starting school next week, Roy wanted to at least advance Iron Blood to Sequence 8.

This is also the average level of the protagonists at the beginning of "Angel Rondo".

"Father, I want to work harder and make a breakthrough before I start school. Please stay with me for a while longer."

Carl, who was eating pasta, almost inhaled the noodles into his nose.

My dear son, are you still practicing? If you continue to practice like today, I will be kicked out of the house before your bloodline breaks through!

But being ambitious is a good thing after all, and Carl can't help but support it.

"Instead of training with me, you might as well go out and gain experience." Carl made his proposal.

"Outside?"

"Even if you take on an adventurous mission, no matter how much you train, it's never as good as actual combat. I used to do that a lot when I was young."

Most adventure missions are not limited to adventurers, but as long as they have the spare time, killers, assassins, mercenaries, and even nobles can come out to make a guest appearance.

Roy remembered that a certain female protagonist in "Angel Rondo" loved to guest-star as an adventurer.

However, to be honest, adventurers are the classics of the other world.

It’s free and uninhibited, full of strange and wonderful encounters.

Mr. Zhou Shuren once said, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem, Zone 3D cannot be without Tifa, and fried rice cannot be without eggs, it is a rare opportunity to come to a different world, so we have to be an adventurer for a while.

Firstly, Roy wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, and secondly, he really wanted to experience what it was like to be an adventurer.

Seeing Roy's eager expression, Carl smiled knowingly, "If you want to take on a quest, just go to the Adventurer's Guild."

At this moment, Alice, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke.

"Master, if you want to take the risk, please take Alice with you."

Roy frowned when he heard this: "Forget it, I'm not going there for fun. Taking risks is very dangerous."

"..."

To Alice, Roy's request was everything.

Alice would not object or argue, but she still lowered her eyes, like a puppy left at home, exuding visible loss.

Roy suddenly felt overwhelmed with guilt.

And Anya also suggested at this time: "Master, just take this child with you."

"Alice is already Sequence 8, and she's worked with adventurers before during training. She'll definitely be able to help."

Hearing this, the little maid raised her head slightly and looked at Roy silently. Her deep blue eyes emanated a overflowing, watery, and shimmering pleading.

How could I possibly refuse when being looked at like that?

Chapter 8: Stop fooling around, young man

Roy thought about it carefully and thought it would be okay to take Alice with him.

Rather, it is a good opportunity to confirm Alice's actual combat power. After all, bloodline level sometimes cannot fully determine a person's combat power level.

This is also part of the development plan.

It’s not that I couldn’t withstand the little maid’s pleading gaze!

After Roy agreed, Alice silently clenched her fists.

This is an opportunity!

Opportunity to show yourself before your owner!

The little maid had heard her master praise Charlotte's performance during the escape journey more than once. Although she didn't say it, she felt very jealous in her heart.

And now, she finally has the opportunity to fight alongside her master!

You must perform well and get praise from your master!

So, the master and servant came to the Adventurer's Guild in Duskwind City with different wishes.

Roy still had some aspirations for the Adventurer's Guild.

In the quaint yet charming building, adventurers of different races and professions from all over the world gather together to discuss various adventure stories in a casual and free-spirited manner. This is an indispensable part of works about the other world. Unfortunately, as a yuri galgame, "Angel Rondo" pays little attention to this.

But when he got here, Roy was greatly disappointed.

First of all, there's something wrong with the appearance of this guild.

The guilds here have no appearance.

The reason was simple. The Adventurer's Guild was identified as the primary target by the cultists and the dragons during the previous riots, and was razed to the ground shortly after the war began.

Therefore, the guild today is nothing more than a temporary shed and tent.

The adventurers who came and went were not as handsome men and beautiful women, full of legends, as Roy had imagined.

Simply put, it's a bit low.

In fact, this is normal.

In Viszea, the bloodlines of extraordinary people are monopolized by royal nobles, or local forces such as the Emerald Council and the Magician's Society.

Not all adventurers can awaken extraordinary bloodlines. Even if they do, it is difficult to advance without orthodox inheritance.

This resulted in Roy's impression of the extraordinary masters being pitifully rare. Most adventurers were casually armed with iron swords, lacking even proper armor, and dressed like militiamen.

However, the adventurers seemed very excited about Roy's arrival.

Many people had seen Alice during the previous hunt for Asian dragons, and had heard of Roy's name from her.

Although they all knew that Alice was Roy's maid, now seeing this extraordinary guardian angel following this man so obediently and extending his hand, it was not difficult to guess her identity.

Don't be fooled by their carefree and free-spirited appearance, but they are still a group of ordinary people after all.

Meeting a noble, especially the heir to the local lord, made me excited, but also a little nervous.

"Is that Lord Roy? He's just as handsome as Miss Alice said!"

"I heard he's even stronger than Miss Alice. What sequence is he in?!"

"That's right. I heard he was instrumental in protecting the emperor in the capital. I guess he might be at Sequence 8!"

The discussion intensified among the makeshift seats.

But at this moment, a low shout of disdain sounded.

"Sequence 8? Hey, young man, do you know what Sequence 8 means?"

Faced with this somewhat arrogant ridicule, no one was unhappy.

Because he is from [Great Axe] Gray, a veteran adventurer of Sequence 8 who participated in the [Second Anti-Dragon War] eighteen years ago!

He has the capital to talk about this topic!

After confirming that no one around him objected and that everyone was listening attentively, Gray stroked his stubble and said proudly, "The so-called Sequence 8 isn't something anyone can achieve!"

"Looking across the entire kingdom, there are only a dozen or so Sequence 8s among the younger generation. Only Her Royal Highness's talent could reach Sequence 18 at the age of 8! That young master is only the same age as Her Royal Highness. Do you think his talent can match Her Royal Highness's?" Gray smiled with his eyes narrowed.

On this topic, no one can really refute Gray, the veteran adventurer who has both seniority and prestige. After all, many people are not even extraordinary people.

However, some people were clever: "But sequence doesn't necessarily correlate with combat effectiveness!"

"Yeah, Guardian Angel is only Sequence 9. Didn't it save your life before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gray's expression suddenly tensed up and he became a little anxious, his old face turning a little red.

"Well, that was my carelessness last time... No, we are talking about that young master now, what does it have to do with me?!"

"No matter how powerful Alice is, it doesn't mean that the young master is powerful!"

"You guys are still too young and think too simply!"

"I've seen plenty of young nobles like this in my time! Don't be fooled by the outside world's praise; they're actually just greenhorns who've never seen blood!"

Gray said a lot in one breath, and it made some sense, and everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Anyway, I won't admit that kid!" Gray slammed the table and shouted angrily, his eyes fixed on the young man in the distance.

What Gray said was quite truthful. He had indeed seen many arrogant young masters in his time who had caused a lot of trouble on the battlefield, so he subconsciously equated Roy with them.

Especially after witnessing the grand inauguration ceremony of the Oathed Knights in the royal capital, Gray felt that it was all too exaggerated, like a show.

Alice is quite skilled, but she always looks dull. Was she really deceived by that brat?

Of course, although he cared, Gray was not so bored as to meddle in the private affairs of the master and servant.

Until he heard the receptionist exclaim.

"A-level?!"

"Yes, A-level."

Roy calmly nodded to the shocked young lady at the counter.

He took a quick look and found that most of the B-level tasks corresponded to Sequence 8 monsters, which was really not good enough.

This is not because he is arrogant.

Alice's [Angel] bloodline is extremely special, at least at the top level of the same sequence.

He possessed the [Evil Dragon Blood Armor]. Although he had some restraint in the battle with Bruven due to the Evil Dragon's scales, he could still easily deal with Sequence 7.

However, the poster girl was a little embarrassed.

"Master Roy, would you like to reconsider this? A-level missions are actually quite difficult..."

More than a little.

Judging by the average level of the kingdom's younger generation of nobles, dealing with a Sequence 7 would be akin to suicide. If it were just some ordinary, inconsolable young man, death would be enough. But the man before him was the son of the Marquis. If he were to let him die, his head would be in jeopardy if the Marquis investigated.

But Roy smiled slightly: "Trust me, I can handle it."

"But, but..."

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a strong and broad shadow loomed over Roy.

"Stop messing around, young man!"

Chapter 9 Frustration

Roy looked at the gray-haired uncle in front of him and hesitated: "Excuse me, who are you..."

"Master, this is [Great Axe] Gray, the adventurer."

Alice, who had dealt with him before, introduced him.

Upon hearing this, Gray couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, waiting for the little maid to praise his reputation for his master.

However, things did not go as planned, and the introduction came to an abrupt end as if it had been cut off.

"That's all?" Roy couldn't help but say something more.

"No more." The little maid nodded.
