"Welcome to the Adventurers Guild. How can I help you?"
The pretty receptionist asked.
The three Black Knights radiated a cold aura. Beneath their helmets was nothing but darkness, their eyes completely invisible. They fell into a period of silence upon hearing the receptionist's question.
Their Master had sent them here to become Adventurers.
However, how to express the intention that they wanted to become Adventurers was a problem, because they lacked vocal organs and had no skills that allowed for mental speech.
In this situation, how were they to express what they wanted to do?
At that moment, an Adventurer returned and, seeing the three Black Knights monopolizing the front counter, immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, "Hey! You three hulking figures in front, can you hurry up and say what you're here for? There are people waiting behind you. Don't waste everyone's time!"
The three Black Knights turned to look at the Adventurer.
The Adventurer felt an extreme sense of danger being watched by the Black Knights.
"What... what are you doing? I'm telling you, this is the Adventurers Guild, don't you dare try anything!" The Adventurer backed away a few steps, feeling that the Black Knights were up to no good.
The three Black Knights seemed to be communicating silently.
"How about we do it this way?"
"Hmm, not bad."
"It should be fine."
"Then it's decided."
One of the Black Knights stepped forward and grabbed an Adventurer. The caught Adventurer looked completely dazed as he was dragged to the front desk. No way, right? He had clearly been on guard against these Black Knights, but when the Black Knight made a move, he had no way to resist at all.
"The rookie Adventurer seems to have been caught."
"Not surprising."
"Hmph, newbie."
"I wonder what the background of those three guys is."
The rookie Adventurer was pinned against the table.
The Black Knight pointed at the receptionist, then easily snatched the Adventurer badge from the struggling rookie.
The receptionist watched this scene, feeling somewhat at a loss.
What does this mean?
Seeing that the receptionist only had a fake smile and hadn't reacted yet, the Black Knight tossed the struggling rookie Adventurer behind him. He then tapped his finger on the desk, picked up the Adventurer badge under the receptionist's gaze, and pointed it at himself, indicating that he wanted to become an Adventurer.
The receptionist asked hesitantly, "Do you want to become Adventurers?"
The three Black Knights nodded hurriedly.
Exactly, you finally understand.
Seeing the Black Knights nod, the receptionist finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then looked at the rookie Adventurer with some sympathy.
"Then please register your information on this. Remember, you must provide accurate information. Also, the registration fee is 50 gold coins. For the three of you, that will be 150 gold coins."
The leading Black Knight took out a large bag of gold coins and placed it on the table.
Everyone clearly saw him take the item out of thin air and gasped collectively. Was that the legendary Magic Tool?
The money was paid.
The Black Knights received three forms.
Then they picked up pens and began writing on them.
Names: Alvin, Alan, Ace.
Level: Lv10.
Attributes: 500.
Skill: Advanced Swordsmanship.
The receptionist glanced at the registration forms submitted by the Black Knights. Although she was somewhat surprised by their strength, she had no intention of verifying the truth. Instead, she directly took out the lowest-level Adventurer badges and handed them to the three Black Knights.
"Alright, you are now officially registered as Adventurers."
The three Black Knights took the badges.
They were somewhat confused.
Hmm?
Didn't the Master say that registering as an Adventurer required an Appraisal via an Appraisal Stone?
Why didn't they see this process?
Have they actually become Adventurers now?
The receptionist saw them standing motionless in front of the counter.
Suddenly, she had an epiphany.
"Do the three of you want to take on a quest?"
The leading Black Knight looked at the receptionist.
Quest?
Becoming an Adventurer and accepting quests.
That's right.
As long as they could take on a quest, it would prove they had indeed become Adventurers.
So, the Black Knight nodded.
"Alright, I'll select a suitable quest for you right away." The receptionist didn't even ask if the Black Knights had any specific requirements, because she just wanted to send these three Black Knights away as quickly as possible. She pulled out a stack of papers, drew one out, and asked the Black Knights, "How about this quest?"
"The objective is to subjugate a Giant Boar that appeared in the outskirts of the city. It's the highest difficulty quest among E-ranks. The reward is 200 gold, and the restriction is that it must be completed as a party. It's perfect for you."
The Black Knight nodded.
This is the one.
Thus, the receptionist assigned the quest to the Black Knights and watched them walk out of the Adventurers Guild. Only after the group of Black Knights had left did the guild return to its previous lively atmosphere.
"Hey, does anyone know where those Black Knights came from?"
"Who knows? But I feel like they're very dangerous."
.
"Exactly, I feel like they have the strength of A-rank Adventurers."
"No way, why would knights of that level suddenly want to join the guild?"
"Miss Su, could you disclose some information about those rookies?"
The receptionist replied with a smile, "That's confidential information."
"Aw, don't be so heartless."
"What can't be done, can't be done. Now, does anyone else need to accept a quest?"
"Me, me, me! Miss Su, please give me a quest with high rewards and low difficulty!"
"Then how about this quest?"
"Oh, looks pretty good."
The receptionists at the Adventurers Guild basically earned bonuses by promoting quests. Whoever promoted the most completed quests was the best receptionist in the guild.
On the other side.
The Black Knights who had accepted the quest walked out of the city.
They summoned their warhorses.
Then they headed toward the quest location.
The warhorses were a part of their bodies and shared their attributes.
With an average speed attribute of 500, they far surpassed normal horses.
It didn't take long.
The Black Knights arrived at the quest location.
According to the quest description, a Giant Boar had appeared nearby. This type of monster was large and extremely aggressive, often attacking passing merchant caravans or even charging into nearby villages to destroy crops; it was truly a pest.
The Giant Boar was quite a challenging quest for rookie Adventurers because its attributes were around 80, and it also possessed the Hard Skin skill. If a rookie Adventurer attempted the challenge alone, they would likely be gored to death by the Giant Boar.
But today, this fellow's luck was not so good.
It encountered three Black Knights.
The Giant Boar appeared as usual, intending to go to a nearby farmhouse to cause destruction.
At that moment, the three Black Knights on warhorses arrived swiftly.
Two Black Knights pierced their swords into the boar's body from both sides and sped forward. The last Black Knight jumped from his horse, landed on the boar's back, and plunged his sword into the carotid artery in the boar's neck.
The boar instantly stopped moving.
It collapsed to the ground.
