All the adventurers gathered around the bald man.

"Guild Master, it's rare for you to show up, which means this matter must be quite serious, right?"

"What kind of mission is it? Is it to deal with those cultists outside the city?"

"Heh, that must be it. I just came into the guild from outside the city. It's in complete chaos there right now, with lots of refugees trying to get into the city."

"The city gates are now closed, and the guards are swamped with work. Guild Master, as long as the guild issues a quest and offers enough silver coins, we'll definitely mobilize the entire guild and send all these disruptive cultists back to their mothers!"

The bald guild leader, arms crossed, instructed a female guild receptionist who had just walked up to him: "Go quickly and prepare the quest log."

In a deep voice, he continued, "Adventurers, you are surely aware of the current situation..."

The cult disturbance has now spread throughout Wind and City, alarming even the nobles, who have generously rewarded the guild.

Therefore, the guild's next major mission is to eliminate all cultists around Wind and City. We hope everyone will actively sign up and contribute their share to the security of Wind and City.

This mission is recommended for adventurers of Bronze rank only. Points and coins will be awarded based on your adventurer rank and contribution.

"Huh? How could this be..."

"Are we Iron-rank adventurers not allowed to sign up?"

Some Dark Iron adventurers felt it was unfair that this major quest restricted their level.

"Sorry, newbies, this is for your own good. According to the investigators, these cultists are not easy to deal with. Ordinary adventurers without some skills can't handle them."

However, if you insist on participating, the guild will allow you to register, and the reward will be the same as that for bronze-level adventurers, but you will bear the risks of the mission yourself.

Lindsay and his two companions were standing on the outside of the crowd. "Broken Arrow" asked Lindsay, "Captain, will we be participating in this mission?"

"That's for sure. The rewards for such an important mission are certainly substantial. However, I think the risks this time are no less than when we dealt with the Goblin High Priest in Linxi Village."

Claire, are you coming?

Claire nodded: "Of course, otherwise why would I come to the Adventurers' Guild with you? Cultists are just some crazy ordinary people, they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."

"Broken Arrow": "Then you've forgotten what an adventurer just said: those cultists have a leader, and we know nothing about him."

"Why don't you just ask the guild leader?"

The three approached the crowd, while the other adventurers were also anxious, wanting to learn more information.

The bald guild leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, stop pushing! I know what you're all worried about!"

This mission is expected to have at least thirty adventurers participating, with two Silver-rank teams signing up and a knight possessing Gold-rank strength joining the fight. Therefore, adventurers need not worry too much.

Linsel scanned the other adventurers around him, and he did indeed see four adventurers wearing silver-white nameplates on their shoulders or chests.

One of them was less than 1.5 meters tall, with a large beard and a huge shield on his back. He was a dwarf but not Ink of the Iron Fang. The other was a woman with pointed ears, who seemed to be a half-elf.

"I've heard that those cultists also have a leader. What abilities does he have?" an adventurer with a bronze nameplate asked.

"We don't know much about that either. Apart from that large-scale sacrificial ceremony decades ago, the Dakul cult has always been very mysterious. We don't know why they would launch such a large-scale operation in Wind and City this time."

The bald guild leader continued sharing information: "Currently, the known abilities of Dakul followers are as follows: ordinary followers don't have much ability; they're just ordinary people who have gone mad."

Elite believers are typically professionals who wear leather armor and are skilled with knives.

In addition to being equipped with sturdier leather armor and wielding daggers, the disciples also use more violent machetes and similar weapons. They are not only professionals but also bound by the Dakul Contract, making them more difficult to deal with.

As for the Chosen One of Dakul, his abilities are still unclear, but the guild has checked the records of that major historical mission.

The records show that a Gold-rank adventurer participated in the battle, so this time we can rely on our knight.

"Where is the knight?" an adventurer shouted.

Suddenly, Lindsay saw the crowd part to reveal a knight wearing a helmet and plate chainmail at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild.

This figure looks like the female knight Karina…

"Look, the knight is here!"

All the adventurers turned to look at him, only to see that he had taken off his helmet, revealing a head of light yellow hair.

It's Karina herself!

"Gentlemen, I am Karina Mitchell, the vice-commander of the Knights of Wind and City, currently in charge of maintaining order regarding cultists."

I will be joining you on this important mission, so please don't panic.

Linsel was somewhat surprised to find out it was Karina; had she been hiding her strength during the previous mission?

"Guild Master, we adventurers from elsewhere don't really know much about this female knight. How can we prove her strength? Is she at the Gold rank?"

"Yes, we hope the adults can provide some proof so we can feel more at ease."

The guild leader gestured to the few adventurers who were casting skeptical glances at him, indicating that they should face the female knight Karina, who had already pulled out a golden adventurer's badge from her person.

"Actually, I am also an adventurer, a Gold-level one."

A cheer erupted from the crowd, and the crowd gradually moved towards Karina.

"They really are Gold-rank adventurers!"

"I've been adventuring for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it..."

Lindsay found it somewhat unbelievable: "Are Gold-rank adventurers really that popular?"

Claire gently nudged Lindsay's shoulder: "Of course, Gold-level adventurers are the top forces and important talents of the major kingdoms. You can usually only see them in the capital cities of various kingdoms."

"We country bumpkins would never normally encounter such a thing."

"And what about the Platinum and Diamond level adventurers?"

"Tch," the female wanderer shook her head, "I don't understand either. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Or, you could secretly ask that female knight; perhaps she'll tell you.

A female receptionist walked up to the guild leader and indicated that the quest sheet was ready, and the latter then announced it loudly.
