Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Adventurers' Guild in Baihe Town, late at night.

Bright light emanated from the gilded lamps on the walls, dispelling the dense darkness.

I don't know when it started, but the night has also taken on a "weight".

Watching this scene, President Lucas leaned back in his wooden chair and wearily rubbed his temples.

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for his past adventurous life.

Although it's dangerous, tense, and exciting, at least it won't be as grueling as it is now.

After a moment, he recovered and sat down at his desk again, carefully reviewing today's commission reports.

All the commissions that he scrutinized were those that had encountered "accidents".

And these "commissions," almost without exception, are all related to [darkness].

"Truly, these are turbulent times..."

Lucas sighed, "Especially this time, during the ferocious wolf extermination, it was fortunate that Leo was so strong, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Leo? What happened to him?" A cool voice suddenly rang out in the office, filled with intense curiosity.

Hearing this, Lucas looked helpless: "Sylvia, I've already told you, don't always come in through the window. Please use the front door, knock, and get permission before coming in, okay?"

The Azure Silver Sword Maiden seemed not to hear her, and simply repeated, "What happened to Leo?"

She was very interested in this promising young talent she had noticed.

"Tell me first, how's the investigation going?" Lucas didn't answer, but instead asked this question.

During this time, the Azure Silver Sword Maiden did not stay in Baihe Town, but went out to carry out exploratory missions.

Sylvia gently shook her head: "Apart from some monsters affected by [Darkness] that have mutated, everything else is normal."

"It's so normal, it makes me a little uneasy."

Lucas paused for a moment. Bronze-level adventurers certainly didn't have the ability to foresee the future, but their extraordinary sixth sense often gave them a certain warning before a crisis arrived.

The fact that the Azure Silver Sword Maiden felt "uneasy" was not information that could be ignored.

"I understand." Lucas nodded emphatically. "I will make arrangements accordingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the other person was staring at him.

Lucas smiled helplessly and handed her the report regarding Leo's request.

"See for yourself."

The Azure Silver Sword Maiden took the report and carefully read through it.

The more I looked, the brighter her eyes became, like shining stars.

"Wow, he's grown up so fast...!"

With a sigh of delight, she disappeared from sight.

The falling commission report was caught by Lucas.

He shook his head more and more helplessly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

"Very well, Sylvia knows how to behave."

……

When Leo woke up, it was already the next morning.

He stretched, and with a series of crisp cracking sounds, he was completely energized.

"I slept for about ten hours."

Leo glanced at the clock and muttered to himself.

The fatigue from this life-or-death battle finally dissipated at this moment.

"Speaking of which, to ensure the smooth progress of this commission, I even went to the Western Pole and obtained the [Joke Wonder - Rest Amulet]."

"It's a pity... no, I should say, thankfully it wasn't needed."

Leo raised his hand and placed it on his chest; he had already been wearing this strange object on his body.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and got up to wash up quickly.

As soon as he arrived on the first floor of the tavern, a sharp-eyed waitress immediately brought him a hot breakfast.

"Mr. Leo, please have your meal."

Miss Yotsuba, dressed in a black and white maid's outfit, placed the pumpkin soup, toast, and other dishes from the tray onto the table and blinked.

Leo enjoyed his breakfast with peace of mind. The stewed pork chunks were tender and melted in his mouth, and paired with the flavorful broth, it was a real treat to eat with the toasted bread.

As he ate, he asked, "Miss Yotsuba... glug glug... how's your sister... glug glug?"

Hearing him mention his sister, Yotsuba's eyes softened even more, and she bowed slightly: "Thanks to you, Wu Xue has woken up, but due to the excessive mental exhaustion caused by the frequent use of magic tricks, she still needs to rest in bed and is unable to thank you and the rest of your team in person."

"She asked me to convey her sincerest gratitude to you if she sees you."

Leo nodded: "It's good that you're alright."

"Oh, right." Just then, Yotsuba remembered something: "Mr. Leo, my sister said that an adventure team has some Dark Shards that they plan to sell."

We've heard news so quickly?

Leo was quite surprised.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to marvel at Miss Sanhua's efficiency or to be surprised by the sheer number of Dark Fragments, which he suspected was more than he had imagined.

"Perfect timing. After completing the transaction at the guild, I'll go to the second floor of the guild to exchange for the class skills."

To become a Warrior, mastery of all three class skills is the minimum requirement.

Both the previous trip to the Western Pole and this campaign against the ferocious wolves made Leo deeply aware of his shortcomings.

Without becoming a "professional," one is ultimately lacking the necessary skills to face truly powerful threats.

A moment later, Leo, having eaten and drunk his fill, couldn't wait to leave the Wild Boar Tavern and head towards the guild.

……

In front of the guild gate.

Several days later, Leo returned to this place.

Early in the morning, the guild hall was deserted, with only two or three adventurers standing in front of the commission board.

Leo's arrival immediately caught the attention of Miss Sanhua behind the counter.

She stood up and waved vigorously.

It can be described as graceful and charming.

Seeing this beautiful view so early in the morning put Leo in a very good mood.

He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss Sanhua, is there any news about the Dark Fragment?"

"Mmm." The girl nodded vigorously, her eyes full of bright smiles.

She bent down, took a wooden box from the drawer, and presented it to Leo with both hands across the counter, her voice gentle and light: "Mr. Leo, these are the dark fragments you asked me to keep an eye on."

Ok?

Leo paused for a moment, then subconsciously took the wooden box.

He opened it and saw that it was indeed a Dark Fragment, about the same size as the goblin leader's, belonging to the same standard unit.

only……

"The adventurer who intended to sell the Shadow Shards just left it here?"

Miss Sanhua smiled and said, "Hmph, of course it's guaranteed by my reputation."

After saying that, she clasped her hands together and squeezed them against her chest, causing her ample breasts to slightly deform inward as she did so.

She put on a pitiful look: "Mr. Leo won't let me break my promise, will he?"

Leo was deeply moved.

The extraordinary material, worth several gold coins, is an "astronomical figure".

He nodded earnestly, his tone serious: "Of course."

He immediately changed his tone: "However... if one day, Miss Sanhua, you collect too many Dark Fragments and I can't afford it anymore, could we find a different payment method?"

"For example, working as a farmhand at your family's tavern or something?"

The girl rolled her eyes at him, the smile on her lips widening even further: "Then I'll have to think about it carefully~"

After some playful banter, Leo left behind 5 gold coins and took the Dark Shard with him.

The smooth progress of the acquisition plan gave him even more confidence in the upcoming "two-way trade".

He was humming a little tune and was just about to go upstairs when suddenly his vision blurred and a figure appeared in front of him.

Leo's body tensed instinctively, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the iron sword at his waist. He only relaxed after seeing who it was.

"Sword Maiden, it's you! You startled me."

After several days apart, the Azure Silver Sword Maiden, with her long gray-white hair and tall, agile figure, still retains her charm.

Leo patted his chest in a slightly "exaggerated" manner, looking as if he had been frightened.

His response was met with the stern words of the Azure Silver Sword Maiden:

"Leo, would you like to become a 'legendary profession'?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.

He already knew about the differences in professions from casual conversations with Saikeda and others.

In addition to the basic classes such as Warrior, Wanderer, Shieldbearer, and Archer.

There are also even more powerful and rarer "rare professions". These professions are almost always the secrets of a certain school or a large family, and most adventurers will never come into contact with them in their entire lives.

And above these two, there are the "legendary professions" that exist almost exclusively in legends!

Judging from what the Azure Silver Sword Maiden said, she was planning to tell me a clue about how to get a legendary profession.

The "surprise" came too suddenly, and Leo was momentarily stunned.
