Chapter 972: Adventure Two Point O - Part 2The majority of the natives agreed to stay on the third floor, but there was also a group who wanted to escape from the Dimensional Tower. The group would hunt the traveler; if they could not kill the traveler, they would delay the traveler from clearing the mission. That was what Mayor Celap told them.        

”We have arrived at the Adventurer Guild. I will guide you to meet the Guild Master. He knows more about the adventurer than me, so if you have questions regarding the adventurer, you can ask him later,” Mayor Celap stopped in front of the four-story building.    

The Mayor led the group of ten into the building. Eyes were on the group as the news of travelers arriving quickly spread in the town. These people observed the group as Tang Shaoyang followed Mayor Celap to the fourth floor. An attendant came over, but Mayor Celap waved his hand at her.      

”Rodin, itʼs me, Celap,” They arrived on the fourth floor and stopped in front of a door as Mayor Celap knocked on the door.    

”Come in.” A rough yet deep voice resounded from the room.    

Celap led the group into the room. A man in his mid-forties sat behind the table. The man had gray hair, wearing a sleeveless shirt, showing his bulging muscles. There was a cut scar on his chin, short yet deep. His black eyes scanned the group behind Mayor Celap, one by one.    

Tang Shaoyang could feel the trickling sensation on his back. It was an indication that the opposite party used [Detection] on him. He furrowed his eyes and stared at the man. Coincidentally, the manʼs gaze stopped at Tang Shaoyang, too; their gaze met.    

”Itʼs rude to use [Detection], especially when we just met,” The one who spoke was Ava. She also sensed the trickling sensation and realized the man used [Detection] on her, ”Without Mayor Celapʼs introduction, we will assume you as our enemy.”    

”It is not rude because he is Guild Master of Murika Town,” a Woman in her late thirties who stood next to the Guild Master replied in a cold voice. The woman wore leather armor with braided green hair. She had an expression that she did not like them. Aside from here, there were another three people inside the room; three of them were men.      

”Ah,” The gray-haired man let out an audible sigh, ”I am sorry, itʼs my bad habit when I meet with new people.” Guild Master Rodin smiled apologetically and shot a glare at the woman, ”Donʼt be rude to our guests, Vina.” The green-haired woman said nothing, but she still stared at the group, making sure the group knew that she did not like them for unknown reasons.    

”I have done my part; now itʼs your part, Rodin,” The Mayor waved his hand at the Guild Master as he headed to the exit, ”Rodin is a trustworthy man even though his people are unreliable, Sir. Rodin will explain everything about the adventurer. See you later, Sir.”    

Mayor Celap left the room, leaving the group with the five people from the Adventurer Guild.    

”I am genuinely apologizing for my peopleʼs rudeness and also using [Detection] on you arbitrarily. My name is Rodin, Guild Master of Murikaʼs Adventurer Guild,” Rodin stood up and bowed his head slightly.    

”Tang Shaoyang, Emperor of Tang Empire. I donʼt care about your people, so letʼs get to the point. Give me the que—” He stopped midway because he heard suppressed laughter. The woman called Vina, and another man next to her laughed when he introduced himself as Emperor.    

The temperature in the room rose slowly as Ava retrieved her bow from the inventory. She aimed the arrow toward the woman, with the two elves following her action. They did not bother with words anymore, getting into action immediately.    

Vina and the man did not expect the opposite party would have such a drastic reaction. They were caught off guard, but Tang Shaoyang raised his hand, stopping his subordinate from taking any actions, ”Letʼs not create trouble. I donʼt want to raze the town only to move to another town. It would be a waste of time. Ignore the fools. We finish our business here and leave the town after. Donʼt lower yourself to her level.”    

Rodin turned toward Vina and the man, ”Leave!” He said one word in his deep voice. The two people flinched when they saw their Guild Masterʼs expression. Vina was about to say something, but the man pulled her over. He shook his head at her, telling her not to speak anymore.    

”I apologize once more, Sir. Despite her age, she was still immature, but I dare to guarantee you that she is a good-hearted girl deep inside,” Rodin apologized for the second time.    

”As I said, I donʼt care. I came here to clear this floor, so letʼs get to the point. I want the quests.”    

Rodin scratched his forehead and let out a sigh. There were a lot of things he wanted to ask Tang Shaoyang. He wanted to know more about the world outside. Even though he did not desire to leave the tower, he was still curious about what kind of world was outside.    

”Vina dislikes you guys because of me,” Rodin returned to his chair as he motioned to Tang Shaoyang to take a seat on the sofa, ”To be an adventurer, everyone needs to pass the test. However, I make an exception for the traveler, making her dislike you all. I know you are not interested, but I just want to clear the misunderstanding.”    

Rodin took out ten badges from the drawer and put them on the table, ”As I said, you donʼt need to take the test to be an adventurer, and you will start from the lowest rank. You will start from Copper Rank, then Silver, Gold, Epic, and Myth. Copper Rank can only take the Copper Rank quest, and the same rule applies for the higher rank.” He pushed the badges, ”The badge is the proof that you are part of Adventurer Guild. Please drop a drop of your blood on one of the badges.”    

Tang Shaoyang stood up, biting his thumb, and was about to drop his blood into the badge, but Goldien stopped him, ”Let me do it first, Your Majesty.” The Gator dropped his blood onto one of the badges. The badge made of steel shone brightly when the blood touched the badge. The blinding light lasted for a second, and the badge changed after the phenomenon. Goldienʼs name was on the badge and below the name showed his rank, Copper.
