Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 289: Triumph City’s Adventurer Team
There are so many levels?!
There’s even an Epic rank!
What’s the concept of Epic!
Angus frowned.
Shirina thought Angus was worried and quickly comforted him:
“Mr. Angus, please don’t worry. With your powerful strength, it’s definitely different from me. And I might even be judged as a Silver or even Gold Medal Adventurer Team by association!”
Shirina wasn’t sure herself.
But she felt that even the leader of the strongest Lion Hunt adventurer team in Triumph City wasn’t Angus’s opponent. Angus killed people with too much ease.
“Is that so? Then let’s go take a look, but before that, I’d like to take a hot bath…”
Angus made a request.
He was confident in his disguise, but heating the blood in his body with hot water would make him look more like a living person, which would be safer.
“Ah! You want to bathe?”
Shirina blushed like a ripe apple, thinking of something, and stammered.
“Of course, this journey has been bumpy, and I’ve gotten quite dusty. In this new city, I want to face it with a completely new demeanor.”
Angus smiled slightly, his handsome smile shining like the sun on the horizon.
“Okay… okay…” Shirina stuck out her tongue, thinking she had overthought it, and then gently took Angus’s hand.
“I have a small rented house in Triumph City. If you don’t mind, you can wash there. As for toiletries… you can use mine.”
Angus saw Shirina shyly lower her head again, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.
“Of course, it’s my honor.”
…
The bathing process was very normal, and nothing particularly eventful occurred.
One reason was the girl’s modesty and shyness.
Although Shirina accidentally saw Angus’s robust physique when handing him clothes.
But this only made the young girl, who was just beginning to fall in love, more smitten.
The second reason was that Angus was currently a Ghost Dragon, not a Gold Dragon.
Simply put, he was a standard asexual. Even if Shirina stripped naked and sat in his arms, he wouldn’t react.
Undead do not have strict gender classifications.
After washing up, Angus, led by Shirina, arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.
His armor had been meticulously cleaned by Shirina, leaving no trace of blood. His hair was also neatly styled, attracting the attention of the young girls in the city along the way.
“After taking a bath, you seem much more energetic. Your skin is even glowing ~”
Shirina held Angus’s arm, her face beaming with a sweet smile. Her action also silently declared ownership.
“Is that so?” Angus smiled slightly and touched his face.
“Let’s go in. I’m eager to know what rank I’ll be assessed as.”
And whether there were any beings in this city that could threaten him.
“Welcome to Triumph Adventurer’s Guild~”
As soon as they entered the Adventurer’s Guild, a young woman in uniform walked over. She seemed very capable, with an enthusiastic smile on her face.
Angus looked around.
He saw quite a few adventurers and mercenaries sitting in the hall, seemingly waiting for something.
There was also a group of people gathered around a wall.
The wall was covered with parchments of various sizes. Although the content was not clear, it should be the mission board Shirina had mentioned.
“Sister Phil!”
“Oh! Isn’t this Shirina? Long time no see!” The young woman seemed to know Shirina well and showed a surprised expression.
“I heard about your…”
“Yes, Sister Phil…” Shirina’s expression turned a little sad.
“They all died. At the last moment, if it weren’t for Angus saving me, I would have inevitably met the same fate.”
Shirina gazed affectionately at Angus, which caused Phil to show an understanding expression.
“It’s all in the past. What’s important is the present. Besides, haven’t you turned misfortune into fortune? I can see that the person beside you is a powerful Knight~”
Shirina’s pretty face turned red again at Phil’s teasing. She shyly snuggled into Angus’s arms, not daring to look up.
But Angus no longer wanted to waste time.
The time of an undead is precious.
So, he got straight to the point:
“I’m here to test my strength. My and Shirina’s team, what rank can we register as? Can you help us with the process?”
“Of course, powerful Knight.”
Phil nodded and made an inviting gesture.
“The testing room is free right now, please follow me.”
The three walked into the testing room.
It was a space built with Elemental Obsidian. In the center of the hall were several dummies made of special magical materials, wearing armor of different specifications.
“Gusev, it’s time to work~”
Shirina called out. A rustling sound came from a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner, and then a Goblin crawled out.
“Alright! Gusev never gets to rest, damn it!”
The Goblin seemed to have just woken up and complained with considerable displeasure.
But given his professional demeanor, he still pulled out a strangely shaped instrument from the pile of miscellaneous items.
“Well then, this Human…”
The Goblin paused, his gaze fixed on Angus. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing and then placed the instrument on the armor.
“First, tell me your strength.”
“I am a Sky Knight.”
Angus’s tone was calm. He could simulate the strength of any Knight below Legendary-grade at will, which was why he dared to participate in the test.
“Oh? A Sky Knight! Honestly, it’s been many years since a Sky Knight registered as an adventurer… After all, they don’t think the Adventurer’s Guild’s rewards are worth it.”
Goblin Gusev said with some surprise.
“However, in the past, some scoundrels falsely reported their strength to increase their adventurer team’s rank and thus their hiring fees. But these people eventually paid the price. They accepted missions beyond their capabilities and all died without exception.”
“Therefore, after that, every new adventurer registration requires a test to determine their strength.”
Gusev said as he operated the instrument. The red light on the instrument lit up completely.
“Alright, unleash a Sky Knight-level Qi Slash on the armor. My instrument will precisely detect your strength… But actually, I think it’s redundant. Sky Knights can fly. You just need to fly briefly for us to see…”
Angus said nothing. He casually unleashed a pale Qi Slash. The dummy in the center of the hall was instantly shattered with a clang of the sword.
“Genuine Sky-grade.”
Goblin Gusev picked up the instrument from the ground, checked the numbers on it, and nodded in praise.
“May I ask,”
Gusev retracted his long sword, and the Qi burning on his body gradually subsided.
“What is the strength of the Epic-grade adventurer team leader here, and what rank of adventurer team can Shirina and I register as?”
“There is only one Epic-grade adventurer team in Triumph City, called Lion Hunt. Their leader is only a Great Knight. With your strength, you can register for the Diamond Medal Adventurer Team. If you wish to advance further, you will need to accumulate points by completing some missions.”
Phil answered Angus’s question first.
This world respects the strong. When Angus displayed his Sky Knight-level strength, her address towards him became increasingly respectful.
