Chapter 24 Register Identity
"Aside from that mage, are there any other female Tier 3 powerhouses near River Valley Town?" Luo Qi pressed.
Given the formidable enemy we'll be facing soon, it wouldn't hurt to confirm things further.
"There shouldn't be any more."
Dorothy paused for a moment, then shook her head in reply.
River Valley Town isn't very large. Although many ordinary adventurers gather here due to its geographical location, the number of professional-level adventurers is already quite small. A third-tier expert, especially one who is female, wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it specifically refers to a particular person.
"Tsk..."
Luo Qi pressed on meaningfully, "And who is Grace's father?"
The goblin hero was born twenty-six years ago, and Grace, as a rising star adventurer in Riverdale, is no secret in terms of age—the Rose Squad's main selling point is that she awakened her spirituality at the age of seventeen, a talent that is considered top-tier among ordinary people.
Now, this female swordsman has cultivated for another five years and can be considered a top-tier first-order swordsman.
Even without relying on her parents' names, Grace's own strength and the team she built were considered top-tier in Riverdale.
Many people speculate whether this young, up-and-coming adventurer, who has become a superhuman at such a young age, will be able to surpass his parents' achievements in the future.
Of course, these busybodies had no idea that Grace actually had a half-brother.
If Grace's father knew about her mother's past, then for these two strong individuals to still be able to come together, this man must truly be in love.
Not everyone can accept a mining card.
If Grace's father didn't know about her mother's past, then...
"The captain's father?"
Miss Scout paused for a moment, then said, "I have never seen that lord, but I have heard Captain Grace say that he is a swordsman."
"Do daughters follow in their fathers' footsteps?"
Luo Qi nodded thoughtfully.
He then chuckled to himself, "They're really complicated. Heh, before these people provoke me, there's no need to care too much about them. Making the Emperor's Banner stronger is my core task right now."
"Yes, in fact, many adventurers inherit the profession of their ancestors."
Dorothy said with some envy, "These people have the guidance of their parents, which makes it much easier than for outsiders who become adventurers on a whim. Most of the adventurers who die die in their first three missions, while these types of adventurers have a much lower probability of dying in their first three missions."
Adventurers' Guild has many mandatory rules.
For example, no matter how strong a new adventurer is, they must complete a certain number of tasks to become a high-level adventurer. This is both to familiarize adventurers with the process and to prevent inexperienced adventurers from failing due to arrogance.
Even with these requirements, the probability of an adventurer dying is still quite high.
—For tasks with lower difficulty, the person requesting the task can handle it themselves. Even if they encounter more dangerous situations, ordinary people can seek help from relatives, friends, and neighbors. Ordinary people only spend a lot of money to hire adventurers when they encounter problems that they cannot solve on their own. Obviously, these kinds of tasks are not easy.
Second-generation adventurers have a much lower mortality rate compared to regular adventurers.
For example, Grace, a second-generation adventurer with a strong background, has teammates who are all extraordinary.
The rabbit-man scouts have extremely high potential.
The shield bearers and spearmen were extremely experienced, especially the shield bearers, who never let their guard down and never interfered with wrong decisions, seemingly believing they could turn the tide and save their captain.
Clearly, the shieldbearer felt it was worthwhile to make his somewhat arrogant captain suffer a little.
In addition, a first-tier extraordinary adventurer party even has a mage... Don't be fooled by the fact that the mage is also only first-tier, but these extraordinary individuals who become more sought after with age don't easily become adventurers.
Luo Qi suspected that the Rose Squad, these extraordinary adventurers, were all carefully prepared for Grace by her parents.
He had thought that there were very few second-generation adventurers like this.
But now it seems that this viewpoint is somewhat presumptuous.
Loki was curious about the origins of the adventurers, so he asked Doross, this "senior," for more details.
Adventurers don't just appear out of thin air.
Most adventurers have diverse backgrounds; some start as noble sons, retired veterans, or displaced farmers. Others start with exquisite equipment, while many others are initially struggling financially.
Of course, even the poorest adventurers would prepare a spear, several javelins, and a simple shield for themselves.
In any case, those who enter this profession are all quite capable.
Reality is not a game. True adventurers would never start leveling up from a wooden stick. A normal adventurer has at least the physique of an adult and at least a dozen years of life experience. This amount of time and energy is enough for them to possess weapons far more advanced than a wooden stick.
Adventurers don't just disappear into thin air, so when some adventurers have offspring but can't provide them with a higher-paying job, second-generation adventurers appear. Adventurer guilds have existed for thousands of years, and the number of these second-generation adventurers is not small.
Many professional adventurers are second-generation adventurers.
In addition, most of the reception and service staff of the Adventurers' Guild are also second-generation adventurers, and these people are almost like the priests who founded the four gods of the Adventurers' Guild.
The Adventurers' Guild relies on the abilities of these special priests to determine whether adventurers have completed a quest and to judge whether a commission is fraudulent.
In some bustling areas, you don't even need to go to the Adventurers' Guild to make a request. All you need is a priest from one of the four gods: the God of Hunting, the God of Contracts, the God of Feasts, and the God of Alchemy. You can then convey your request to the Adventurers' Guild through prayer.
Adventurers can also use these kinds of divine spells when searching for suitable quests.
Unlike the Adventurers' Guild in Riverdale, there's no need to check the bulletin board one by one for suitable quests.
Adventurers' quests don't just appear out of thin air.
In general, the adventurer's tasks mainly include:
Obtain resources from dangerous places, such as gathering medicinal herbs, hunting extraordinary monsters to obtain materials, and mining special ores;
Escort missions include protecting important personnel and safeguarding goods such as mines and caravans. These missions even include large-scale tasks such as protecting cities during wartime.
Rescue missions, which involve rescuing people from predicaments caused by humans, monsters, and the natural environment.
Public service tasks include tasks such as cleaning sewers and participating in wars between humans and alien races.
In addition, there are comprehensive tasks.
Within the core territory of the human empire, the number of adventurers is not very large... In that environment, the tasks available to adventurers are very limited. If an adventurer has no tasks, they are no different from an unemployed person.
River Valley Town is located near the Great Green Forest of the North Wind, which is rich in various resources. Whether it is mining resources or transporting them to the Empire, adventurers are needed to participate.
This is the core reason why there are so many adventurers in River Valley.
"In short, the Adventurers' Guild is indeed a very deep place. The gods, their existence determines the order of this world. The Human Emperor Banner needs to survive in the cracks of the gods' great power. The identity of adventurers, who can travel throughout the world, may be able to observe the contradictions between the gods more clearly."
Luo Qi was somewhat interested in her future and couldn't wait to return to River Valley Town.
He wasn't the only one who couldn't wait.
The little rabbit seemed to be in a hurry to go home.
She hopped and skipped ahead, moving even faster than a chocobo.
If Luo Qi hadn't mastered the path of a knight, he might not have been able to keep up with this scout.
With an inexplicable tacit understanding, the two moved at an extremely fast speed, several times faster than when Luo Qi first came to River Valley Town with Misfield.
It only took half a day to get back to River Valley Town.
At this time, it was getting dark.
The Adventurers' Guild's reception staff hadn't left work yet, so Luo Qi rushed to register as an adventurer before the deadline and received an iron token from the guild's reception staff.
With Dorothy, the "veteran adventurer," writing on his behalf, Loki filled out the information extremely quickly.
There was absolutely no wasted time.
—This extraordinary individual who came from the Orc Street often led other Orcs to become adventurers, and the illiterate percentage among the Orcs was quite high. This was not the first time Miss Scout had written on behalf of others.
"Once you complete ten tasks, you can exchange your identity token here."
The receptionist at the counter was very friendly.
A sweet smile appeared on her face, and she leaned slightly towards Luo Qi, subtly conveying a seductive hint.
The woman recognized Dorothy. She keenly realized that Dorothy, the rabbit-woman scout, was now led by the man in front of her, and the two had formed a new adventurer team. This information proved that the man definitely possessed strength no less than Dorothy's.
The Iron-class Nova Adventurer is only a temporary rank for this man.
Before long, another powerful Tier 1 adventurer will appear in River Valley Town.
Showing goodwill to such a powerful figure is of great significance to the Adventurers' Guild's reception staff. If they can gain the favor of this adventurer, they won't have to worry about future performance.
If novice adventurers behave poorly because of this suggestion, the reception staff will become even more proactive.
After all, the god of banquets is a very enlightened deity.
It's perfectly normal for His pastors to follow suit.
The receptionist glanced at the two adventurers who had accepted a quest before most of the Adventurers' Guild members left for the day, and thought to himself, "The scout of the Rose Squad has actually left. I wonder why he left. That lady went to great lengths to get this talented rabbitman to join the Rose Squad."
"Rumor has it that this rabbit-person's grandmother has very unusual bloodline."
"However, rumors are just rumors. This rabbit-person's mother is closer to her legendary grandmother by blood, and she's still just an ordinary person who hasn't even succeeded on the path to transcendence."
Outside the Adventurers' Guild.
Dorothy pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Locke, why are you in such a hurry than I am? Are you short of money? If so, why not give me all the rewards from the previous missions?"
This rabbit-person still couldn't help but want to consider others.
From rushing from the pioneer village to the Adventurers' Guild, registering as an adventurer there, and then accepting quests, the entire process was completed without wasting a single moment.
This was the first time Miss Scout had encountered someone so urgent.
"money?"
Luo Qi shook her head: "Miss Scout, is there anything you're particularly interested in?"
"Anything that interests you?"
Miss Scout paused for a moment, her rabbit ears perking up in confusion.
She has many things she wants to do every day, such as seeing her mother's happy smile when she cooks for her, hearing customers' praise when she helps her mother sell alfalfa cakes, and seeing the light in the eyes of the children in Orc Street when she teaches them to read...
Undoubtedly, she could feel a warmth from these things. But when she tried to utter these answers, her hand hovered in mid-air, her lips parted slightly but no sound came out—she found the answers somewhat forced.
Is this really something I'm really interested in?
Or is it simply that you've gotten used to this kind of life?
Luo Qi couldn't help but look at the silent scout.
He noticed the other woman's lowered eyelids and slightly trembling shoulders, and a thought suddenly struck him: "Miss Doross can roughly understand that killing the goblins in the commission is like the feeling a farmer has when harvesting wheat."
"Although I was physically exhausted, the sense of satisfaction was unparalleled."
This is the confidence that the Emperor's Banner gave him.
Some things are resistant to people because they are difficult, but if difficult things become easy, people may even become interested in doing them.
The ultimate pleasure comes from doing things that others cannot.
Ordinary adventurers find it very difficult to kill monsters of roughly equal strength, but Loki is different. With the Emperor's Banner in his possession and having educated a large number of goblins, killing monsters is very easy for him.
Taming more and stronger goblins even gave him the feeling of playing a farming game.
The mission they accepted this time was still located between Riverdale and Greenwood, but this location was closer to Greenwood. Loki chose this location to meet up with another prospective teammate.
Adventurers are mostly elusive.
Some adventurers, after accepting escort missions, will even travel thousands of kilometers away.
Many solo adventurers simply make the world their home, earning money as adventurers while traveling and appreciating different landscapes and experiencing the customs of different races.
The adventurer that Misfield introduced mainly operated in Greenwood City.
The chances of meeting the other person are greater there.
Loki and Dorothy planned to go directly to Greenwood City to hand over the mission after completing it.
After working together multiple times, Luo Qi had developed an inexplicable trust in Misfield.
The priest introduced his future teammate, whose extraordinary profession was knight. This knighthood was passed down from the Silver Moon Church, a righteous church. As the daughter of the God of Order, the Silver Moon Goddess's path of knighthood passed down in her own church was definitely legitimate.
Some of the knights trained by the Silvermoon Church are even more orthodox than the knightly paths followed by most nobles.
This made Luo Qi somewhat expectant of his future teammate.
"So, Mr. Loki enjoys killing evil creatures, is that why Miss Misfield likes you?" Dorothy couldn't help but ask.
Luo Qi did not answer the question.
The feelings between people are never determined by a single factor. He himself could not be sure why he liked Misfiel. He just liked him, nothing more.
