Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 231: The Colossal Known As The Adventurer’s Guild.

  As for his potential that was set at low, it was a prank by her. There was no way the potential of a Demon Viscount could be compared to a human with low potential.

Even if he did not have the help of [Main Mneu] just with his Demon Viscount bloodline alone his potential would be at medium. Simon could only sigh looking at the victorious smile of hers who had succeeded in pulling a prank.

After a few moments, the old man walked over with two small marble the size of a peanut in his palm. The marble looked transparent at a glance but if one looked carefully, they could see a small white light at the centre.

"This is the Status Marble that the Adventurers guild uses to check on the level and condition of its adventurers. It will be inserted inside a template and can be used as a identity card when travelling across cities".

"It may even help you avail some of the benefits once you become a high levelled and renowned adventurers. I shall hand you your provisional adventurers card once I insert it in a plate. You can come and collect it tomorrow" The old man said while placing the status marble on a shelf that had numerous boxes to hold such marbles.

After they were done with the tests, the guild manager led them towards the hall below.

While on their way, Simon could hear bustling noises coming from the hall below. It appeared that the people that had been knocked unconscious by Adalinda, had finally woken up. They scratched their heads, looked around their surrounding in confusion and at their comrades who were similarly getting up after falling down.

By the time the three of them came down, he could see the guild's staff repeatedly bowing their head due to the unknown cause of disturbance and hurriedly making repairs here and there.

When the staff saw that the guild manager coming down, they hurriedly greeted him and informed him about the disturbance.

Simon who was following behind him, could distinctly see the old man eyes stopping at them before he waved his hands and dismissed the issue with the cause being an earthquake.

Of course, most of the adventurers didn't believe him but given the old man's prestige and power, they could only drop the issue.

Simon shrugged his shoulders at that and looked at Adalinda, the latter wore a carefree attitude as if all of this had nothing to with her.

Even after dispersing the crowd, many of them still lingered around, not to mention some of them even started drinking again without a care.

After addressing the issue, the old man led them towards one of the corner of the hall where a huge notice board was located. Crowds of adventurers in different gears swarmed around the area, their eyes plastered onto the board repeatedly scanning it.

When the adventurers saw the guild manager personally lead two people here, they couldn't help but throw a curious glance at them as they made way for the old man.

Many conversations and private discussions immediately started sounding from the adventurers as they glanced at them trying to figure out their identity.

From their outfit which comprised of only casual clothes, many of them were immediately able to tell that the two were no adventurers or newbies that have been newly registered. Most of the onlookers immediately lost interest.

Obviously, such conversation wouldn't be able to go unnoticed by someone on the level of a Demon Viscount. However, Simon paid no such attention to their conversation and fixed his gaze on the large notice board that had many parchments of varying size pinned on it.

Stopping just in front of the enormous board, Gill nodded his head "This is the Quest Board of our adventurer's guild that we use to issue commissions and jobs. From monster hunting, to searching and exploration everything that provides money, are put up in it".

"Unlike the private guilds, the adventurer's guild does not restrain their adventurers from moving out or opening their own guild. We are just there to regulate and monitor the guilds and all the adventurers within it".

"Every individual that wants to become an adventurer and join a guild, must first come to us the adventurers guild and register themselves. Additionally, those adventurers that did not join any guild, can come to us seeking jobs. You can find us in every big city and every kingdom of this continent".

Gill flashed a wide smile and asked "How is it? Amazing aren't we?" all the while his eyes still scanned every corner of the quest board.

Simon unwittingly nodded his, he had to admit that this adventurer's guild was truly a gigantic organisation, one that was spread all across the continent.

What did it mean to have a branch in every city and kingdom? Doesn't that mean that they have a wide area of network, and have hundreds of millions of adventurers under them? An organisation like that can be truly considered a colossal from his view.

"There it is…" the old man stretched his cane and tapped on a parchment at the top middle corner of the quest board. Right after, the parchment came out and landed in his hand.

He then handed the parchment to the young man and gestured with his hand to follow him.

Simon and Adalinda with Gill leading them in the front, came towards the receptionist desk. The adventurers all around eyed them curious of their origin, some jealous of the favour shown by the guild manager. However, none dared to come in front of them and seek trouble.

"These two are the new provisional adventurers registered by our branch. Their testing and everything is already been done" Gill spoke towards the receptionist who hurriedly greeted him.

The receptionist was the same pretty lady that Simon and Adalinda had previously conversed with when they entered the hall.

"May I know if they will be immediately accepting a job?" the lady inquired.

Gill stroked his beard and nodded his head, he then handed the parchment to her. When the pretty receptionist read what the job written in the parchment was, her eyes immediately became wide.

"This…".

The old man snorted and waved his hand "Fret not, I have personally tested their strength, they maybe provisional but they are no weaklings".

The receptionist hurriedly nodded her head "In that case, I shall allot them for the job".

The old man smiled, satisfied with his answer before turning towards the two behind him "Alright, you two have been registered for the job. Though I guess you are more or less familiar with the task after reading the parchment but I would personally recommend you two to go and meet the client who issued this job and gain more information for them. Also, remember to come and collect your adventurer's card tomorrow".

The old man waved bidding them goodbye.

After tying up the problematic work, Simon did not hesitate to leave the hall and swiftly exited.

A man in a black robe walked on the busy street accompanied by a little girl. The handsome and striking feature of the man attracted many glances from the ladies who came out to shop or for some other work.

Similarly, the cute face and the swaying two ponytails of the little girl who followed behind the man, garnered adoration and smiles all around the people. Little did they know that the little girl who they thought looked just like a doll was a monster among monsters whose power was enough to flatten the whole city in an instant.

Who could the two be other than Simon and Adalinda?

"The place of the client mentioned in this parchment should be in this street" Simon muttered looking at the brown piece of paper in his hand.

"Hey we have exited the adventurer's hall and walked for quite some distance… shouldn't you finally tell me what this job is all about" Adalinda grumbled.

The black robed young man smiled helplessly before summarising the content of the job to her "The client is a merchant company who has recently come here to do some transactions. Their objective is to reach the capital after their work here is done while our job is to secure and guard the people and the goods inside the caravan that they are travelling in. It would take about a month to travel with a caravan from here to capital and we are to secure their safety during this time".

Adalinda pretty eyebrows twitched and her pupils became vertical due to the uncontrolled anger that had welled up within her after listening to the content of the job.

"Who do they think this lady is? The nerve of them to order me to guard some small caravan for a month! It seems that they are tired of their life, very well then, I shall free them of their misery".

Adalinda stomped and was just about to rush back to the adventurers guild when Simon hurriedly stopped her.

"Wait… you will make the situation even worse like that and haven't we already discussed about it? Or do you not want to find your disciple?".

He hurriedly reasoned, although the job seemed a little lacklustre and beneath her from her point of view, it at least allowed them to reach the capital before the tournament there started.

Adalinda made a discontent noise and could only suppress her frustration once again.. If only she was not worried about leaving a trace while tearing through space that her disciple could catch, she would have immediately travelled to the capital and not bothered with these ordinary humans.
