Archer's Adventure Manual

Thus, witnessed by many adventurers of the Adventurers' Guild, the Dogcoin Squad received the honor bestowed by the Adventurers' Guild.

Everyone's ID card now has five extra shields, plus a substantial reward of 4 gold coins!

Loran was so envious of the reward amount that he almost drooled. It was gold coins, and everyone would get one!

Ahem, Loran maintained his composure. "Tch, it's just a gold coin. You know, he has a copyright deal with Old Smith for recurve bows; this is nothing!"

However, to save face for the Adventurers' Guild, he reluctantly accepted it! Yes, that's how it is.

Brian's ears drooped; for the first time, it was questioning its very existence. It actually felt it should be considered a member of the adventurer's party.

However, the honors it received did not seem to be particularly distributed to it, which made it feel a little disappointed.

However, it didn't care. After all, it was Loran's pet. If Loran got it, it would be the same as Loran getting it!

Finita seemed to notice Brian's expression, and then whispered something to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, then together they lifted Brian high into the air, drawing the adventurers' attention to the large white dog.

"This is the most capable member of our team! He has an exceptional sense of smell, agile movements, and a powerful physique. Without Brian's help, we wouldn't have been able to complete this intelligence gathering!"

The usually shy Finita surprisingly praised Brian generously in front of all the adventurers.

Held high aloft, Brian looked down at the many pairs of eyes watching him, and felt a strange, surreal sensation...

"So... this is what it feels like to be noticed?!" Brian felt a strange sensation.

Elfin, standing in the corner, looked at Loran and the others standing in the center of the stage, a slight smile playing on his lips, his thoughts unknown.

...

"Congratulations, sir! You have been promoted to Bronze-level adventurer. You only need... 17 more shields to apply for the Iron-level adventurer exam!"

Loran and Linwen accepted the somewhat weighty brass adventurer's credentials. Loran was quite emotional, while Linwen was so excited that he jumped up and down.

"Hahahaha! Hahaha! Finally, I'm a bronze-level adventurer! Hehehe! I knew I was cut out for adventure!" Lin Wen laughed wildly, without any intention of maintaining his elegant demeanor.

Seeing Lin Wen's somewhat out-of-control state, Luo Lan coughed twice and reminded him at the right time, "Hey, hey, hey, mind your image, there are so many people watching."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wen noticed that many eyes were still fixed on them, and her face immediately turned red as she became serious.

"Ahem, I've always been very conscious of my image!"

"Uh..." Loran was speechless.

Noah smiled and congratulated them, saying, "Congratulations on becoming bronze-level adventurers! This is an honor that many young adventurers dream of! I believe it won't be long before Finita also receives this honor."

Finita, who had been silent all along, smiled and said, "Yes, let's all do our best!"

"So, should we continue investigating this matter? Although we've grasped a key point, it's still just the surface. We seem to know nothing about the deeper aspects," Lin Wen said.

Loran nodded. "I think we can compromise. If it's something at the deepest level, we might not be able to explore it, but there must be many disseminators like that town resident spreading certain ideas, leading some unfortunate people down a path of no return. We can start with the disseminators!"

"In this way, the disseminators can obtain some information, while also protecting those poor people who have already suffered from discrimination, and we are not too close to a certain deeper situation, so our situation is relatively less dangerous."

After listening to Loran's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.

"Okay! Let's do it that way!"

"Alright, everyone's exhausted these past few days, let's go home and rest for a day! A balance between work and rest is key!"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Agreed!"

"Woof woof!"

.....

It was late at night.

Complete Collection of Ancient Legends and Stories

In Thompson's old laboratory, a kerosene lamp was lit, and he read ancient books by the dim light of the flame.

"Since a legend has been passed down, it must not be without reason. At the very least, it must have an author. We can judge its authenticity by the author's name..." Thompson muttered to himself, like a chattering old man.

No one can say for sure what happened to the continent in ancient times, but through the remains of some hominid apes, some mages who possess powerful spiritual vision techniques can still deduce some things.

They speculate that the earliest form of humans was ape-like creatures, which evolved step by step, developing high enough intelligence and weapons to survive in this cruel world.

However, the visionaries who sought to uncover the truth of history found no evidence of ancient apes using magic in the long river of history.

Magic is destined to be used by beings with sufficient intelligence, which involves a combination of knowledge and mental strength.

Of course, this is not fixed. Some magical beasts are born with powerful magical talents and can use magic from birth. This is often related to a certain aura around them.

But such a thing would never happen to humans. God endowed ancient humans with the wisdom and ability to use weapons, but temporarily closed the door to people's glimpse into magic.

The psychics speculate that the emergence of magic may date back to the establishment of the first town... but before that, how did people survive?

Strong mental strength and willpower? This is the mainstream view at present, but there were quite a few magical beasts at that time. If that was all, people would probably still be defeated by a lower dimension. Even if they could not survive, they would probably have a difficult life.

However, ancient humans did not seem to be in such a predicament; they seemed to have their own ways of dealing with those powerful monsters.

It's like a rabbit fighting a lion.

One of the more prevalent theories involves deities. The divine arts created by these deities are real entities; people at that time, by believing in the gods, could obtain powerful divine protection to help maintain the tribe's existence.

Thompson looked at the fabricated legends and stories.

"Bear totem, fox totem, snake totem..." Thompson muttered these words.

These are some animal images depicted by ancient humans that clairvoyants have glimpsed.

Clearly, these are not gods that exist now. It would be difficult to obtain divine magic by worshipping such animals... So what is their reason for worshipping them?

The rune conjecture theory... was born.
