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

Most importantly, Roy had previously confirmed using the control panel that Alice's bloodline advancement was only 70%. Even though it was faster than the original, it was still a long way from Sequence 8.

Roy was even more shocked after checking the panel.

【Favorability +500】

Wow, you're giving me so much just for patting my head? Are your hands blessed?

Of course, jokes aside, Roy actually has some ideas.

The original work is very vague about the conditions for the promotion of [Angels]. Things like "bright ice flowers" and "raging eternal flames" are related to the original heroines, with large sections of beautiful rhetoric and descriptions.

Roy had previously speculated that Alice's promotion required positive emotional fluctuations, and now it can be basically confirmed that it is related to favorability!

In the original work, Alice didn't reach Sequence 8 until the middle of the story. Now, before the story even begins, they, the master and the servant, have reached this level together, far exceeding Roy's original plan.

In this way, when they deal with the girls of destiny in the original work, they will have a considerable aftertaste!

"Alice is so amazing!" Roy couldn't contain his surprise and couldn't help but pick up the girl and hold her high in the air.

"Hmm..." The abrupt action startled the girl slightly.

Compared to the bloodline itself, Alice cares more about Roy's happiness. When Roy is happy, she will be happy too.

I will work harder for my master in the future! Glancing at the smile on Roy's face, the little maid swore silently in her heart.

Immersed in this warm atmosphere, the two of them didn't notice the ambiguous, surprised, or sour looks from the adventurers around them.

Many of the adventurers present had heard of Alice preaching on Roy's behalf and had suspected the close bond between master and servant. But now, having witnessed it with their own eyes, they were convinced of the sincerity of their relationship, leaving no room for interference from others.

The adventurers around who were looking at the master and servant were divided into two types. One type drank the bitter wine of sorrow as if they had been heartbroken, while the other type ate like crazy while watching the intimate behavior of the master and servant. In short, they contributed a considerable amount of turnover to the guild.

Afterwards, Roy discovered that he had inexplicably gained the strange title of "Guild's One-Day Cash Cow".

When Roy's excitement finally cooled down and he started to enjoy his dinner again, a familiar gray-haired strong man sat down opposite him.

"Master Roy, are you interested in the adventurer profession?"

Chapter 14: Part-time Adventurer

"Master Roy, are you interested in the adventurer profession?"

As he said this, Gray's shoulders shrugged slightly, and his attitude became unconsciously respectful.

Although Roy did not mind his previous rudeness and even acted very friendly, as a veteran adventurer, Gray still felt bad.

If he had carefully checked the mission assignment, he wouldn't have encountered the alien ogre. If it weren't for Roy's extraordinary strength, the consequences would have been disastrous.

This time, Gray not only failed to help, but also saved someone's life. It can be said that he was completely ashamed.

Fortunately, Roy has a good temper, otherwise, if he wanted to blame the other party given his status, it would not be so simple.

It was reasonable for Gray to do his best to compensate Roy.

"Mr. Gray, you misunderstood. I'm just here to gain experience. I don't really want to be an adventurer." Roy waved his hand.

"I understand. After all, you are the son of a marquis." Gray smiled wryly, but his eyes showed obvious respect. "However, the identity of an adventurer is actually very convenient."

"You can be a part-time adventurer. Just put it in name only. You don't need to worry about it on a daily basis. You can only act as an adventurer when necessary. Once you become a part-time adventurer, you can become a member of the guild, accepting commissions, collecting intelligence, and participating in the guild's internal auctions..."

After hearing what the other party said, Roy remembered that there was a female protagonist who happened to be an active part-time adventurer.

There are seven major forces coexisting in the Western Continent, and the Adventurer's Guild is jokingly called the so-called eighth force. It is not involved with any party, but controls a large amount of resources and exudes a strong presence.

Even when it comes to connections and intelligence, the Adventurer's Guild, which casts a wide net, has more advantages than the seven major forces that occupy one side.

The identity of an adventurer is also very convenient. It is equivalent to a safe and reliable vest, which can be used to do things in the future that are inconvenient for "Master Roy" to show up.

After making up his mind, Roy nodded to Gray: "In that case, I'll give it a try."

"But I remember that part-time adventurers need a recommendation from a senior, right? Mr. Gray, are you sure you want to choose me?"

The original work clearly states that the number of part-timers an adventurer can introduce in his lifetime is limited and extremely valuable. Most adventurers only do this when they are recruiting apprentices.

Gray laughed when he heard this. "Master, what are you talking about? It's my honor to introduce a talented young man like you to me."

"To be honest, I do have some selfish motives. Our kingdom has been short on young adventurers these past few years, and having a master like you join us, even if it's just in name only, will give us a resounding reputation!"

When Gray said this, there was a rare glimmer of his youth in his eyes.

Gray was deeply impressed by both his extraordinary strength and humble character. He had a feeling that the young man in front of him had a bright future.

Although he didn't think he was qualified to be Roy's mentor, he still brought him into the Adventurer's Guild, which was considered as taking advantage of him.

"Of course you can, but I hope to keep my name hidden."

"no problem!"

Many nobles conceal their identities when they moonlight as adventurers, so this excuse is not a big deal.

Although anyone can take on adventure missions, only part-time adventurers are considered to have officially joined the guild and can truly enjoy most of the guild's resources.

The advantage of part-time work is that you don't have to accept forced assignments from the guild. You can still do your normal work.

Not long after, the part-time adventurer's identity card was issued.

In addition to Roy himself, he also made one for Alice.

The adventurer's ID card is a rectangular card inlaid with magic crystals.

But Roy didn't expect that Alice's ID card was silver, while his own ID card was a shiny, noble gold.

This means that Alice is quasi-B grade and Roy is quasi-A grade.

"Wait, I remember that the level of a part-time adventurer cannot exceed that of the introducer." Roy was a little surprised.

Just like being a boss at work doesn't mean you can become a boss just by having the ability, being a high-level adventurer doesn't mean you can become a high-level adventurer just by having the strength. There are many rules involved. Roy remembered that the powerful girl of destiny in the original work only managed to get a B-level in the end.

"Haha, rules are dead!"

Gray held out his hand, covering the corner of his mouth, and chuckled quietly, "Our situation here is special, and we can take advantage of this opportunity."

"According to the rules, to be a part-time Quasi-A-rank adventurer, you either need to be of the same rank, or you can use the guild's most senior adventurer as a substitute. And I just happen to be the guild's most senior adventurer!"

As Gray laughed, he became sad.

"Perhaps the creator of this rule didn't expect that the most senior person would be a B-level person."

"Ah, let's not talk about these things that will spoil the fun. Once you reach A-level, you can get a title. Master Roy can think about it carefully."

In the future, I might have to work as an adventurer. It would be much more convenient to have a title and not have to reveal my real name.

However, after the lesson with [Cheese], Roy did not dare to be careless. This time, he watched with his own eyes as the poster girl helped him write down his title on the register.

【Sword Ghost】.

At the end of dinner, Roy simply started chatting with the enthusiastic uncle.

It was through Gray's narration that Roy learned that the Second Dragon War eighteen years ago had not only inflicted heavy losses on the Kingdom's army, but had also dealt a severe blow to the adventurers. The succession of adventurers was already difficult, and now the Lionheart Kingdom's adventurers were almost completely exhausted.

However, after learning that Roy was about to enroll in the Central Continent Magic Academy, Gray looked fascinated.

"There's the Adventurer's Headquarters there, and countless legendary adventurers gather there. I believe Young Master Sword Ghost will definitely make a name for himself there!"

"Master, I'm sure there will be no problem."

Gray painted a beautiful blueprint for Roy, and Alice nodded repeatedly.

Only Roy secretly complained that he was going to school, not to be an adventurer!

Roy didn't dislike being an adventurer, but if he really wanted to be active as an adventurer, he would inevitably get involved with a troublesome girl of destiny, which would bring him unnecessary trouble.

Looking back now, if Charlotte failed to reverse those fate-defying nodes, she would be doomed.

For example, if he fails to improve his relationship with Charlotte, he will most likely be killed by Charlotte in the future as in the original work. If he fails to resolve the misunderstanding of Green Tea's molestation, he will be surrounded and attacked by the [Evil Dragon Society] and left isolated and helpless.

Touching the Fate-Defying Node means death. In some ways, it's even harder to deal with than a cult.

If possible, Roy still wants to keep his distance and doesn't want to have anything to do with any Destiny Girl anymore.

Therefore, at most he was just working as a part-timer, taking advantage of the resources and benefits of the Adventurer's Guild!

After finishing his training and making final preparations, Roy set off with Alice and officially embarked on the journey to study at the Magic Academy, which was also the real stage of "Angel Rondo".

However, how could Roy have imagined that the day after he left Iron Blood Ridge, the girl he had tried so hard to avoid would come to the Adventurer's Guild in Duskwind City and sit on the same stool he had sat on.

Chapter 15: Academy City Candle Tower

The young ranger in a dark green cloak, holding a branch in her mouth and playing with a dagger, raised her plump and round white legs and sat in a bossy manner.

In front of her were a group of passersby A, B, and C who came to tease her and were beaten down.

"What? I heard the kingdom is martial, but it turns out they're just trash~"

Young girls going out alone are bound to attract danger, but Nia taught them a good lesson about what a wolf in sheep's clothing is.

The golden bloodline of Sequence 8 [Forest Elves], coupled with Nia's love of fighting since childhood, has developed extremely impressive combat power.

After having no rivals along the way, Nia finally got a little tired of it.

"I say, isn't there anyone more powerful in your kingdom?" Nia kicked a pervert in the head.

At this moment, a pretentious sneer came from the corner.

"Young man, I advise you not to be too proud. The world is much bigger than you think!"

Nia raised her head and looked at the gray-haired strong man in the distance, and was immediately interested.

"You're really strong? How about a fight?"

But the gray-haired strong man shook his head and smiled.

"Compared to you, little girl, I'm not that powerful, but even you, little girl, can't compare to the truly powerful masters of our kingdom!"

Nia's biggest hobby is adventure, and her second favorite thing is listening to the seniors in the Adventurer's Guild tell about their wonderful adventures - or in other words, bragging.

But no matter whether it is true or not, just have fun!

Nia, who was in high spirits, jumped up immediately, stepped lightly over the defeated men on the ground, and sat down next to Gray.

"Uncle, tell me in detail! I'll pay for the drinks!"

"Oh......"

In all his years, this was the first time Gray had seen someone pay to listen to him brag, and it was such a beautiful woman.

While thinking that this girl was really weird, he also formally told Nia about his adventures.

Gray didn't think there was anything to talk about after living half his life and finally reaching Sequence 8. If he was going to brag, he would definitely brag about those truly amazing people.

For example, the black-haired boy I met yesterday.

Gray recounted how he met Roy, how he looked down on him, but because of his humble and polite attitude, they went on an adventure together, and then witnessed the sharp sword that killed the alien ogre.

Although the story is good, it is too short and cannot satisfy the girl's strong thirst for knowledge.

"Uncle, we can't just leave it at that, can we? Talk about five silver coins!"

Under Nia's strong request and generous silver coins, Gray drank one glass after another.

Not only does bragging not cost money, but people also buy him drinks. It would be strange if he doesn't get drunk.

Nia also kept asking questions like "Is that guy handsome?", "What color is his hair?", "Such a strong person must be very famous in the kingdom", etc., giving Gray more room to play.

As a result, the story gradually became outrageous.

How he fought a hundred enemies without losing, how he bravely fought dragons and fought evil cults, how he was handsome and suave, how a princess was smitten with the love of a maid, how he sought justice without fame or fortune, how he bore his fate and hid his identity...

After getting drunk, Gray finally showed off his storytelling talent that he had hidden for half his life, leaving Nia stunned.

In the end, everyone in the Adventurer's Guild gathered together, and many people even discussed privately whether such a person really existed.

Nia was even more shocked.

After listening to Gray's narration, Nia had automatically pictured in her mind a legendary adventurer of the same age as her, who was handsome, skilled, unruly, yet indifferent to fame and fortune!

Originally she just wanted to hear a story.

But now, she really wants to meet this legend.

"So, there really is such a person?!" Nia couldn't believe it.

"Of course! Didn't I tell you that I'm lucky enough to have an adventure with him?" Drunk Gray laughed.

After receiving the other party's confirmation, Nia's eyes suddenly sparkled: "So, what is the name of this legendary adventurer?!"
