I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Chapter 618 The Troublemaker, Pulis

Before the Adventurers' Guild was established, leveling up was not an easy task for ordinary professionals.

The number of commissions was small, and they were all monopolized by mercenary groups.

Ordinary professionals either hunt relatively safe monsters cautiously.

Alternatively, one could join the army and fight alongside the lord's forces.

However, not many people can guarantee that they will participate in large-scale wars and survive.

It's common for professionals to go months without any real-world experience.

It's not that everyone has exceptional professional talent; without sudden enlightenment, the experience points gained from cultivation are very few.

However, after the Adventurers' Guild was established, commissions were tiered, making it affordable for ordinary people and small merchants to pay for low-level commissions.

This led to a surge in the number of commissions, and adventurers also had quests to do.

The opportunities for real-world practice have greatly increased.

Moreover, adventurers already have a complete set of procedures when carrying out quests.

Receive mission – Gather intelligence – Survey target – Take action!

A monster encyclopedia is an essential tool for every adventurer.

It greatly facilitates adventurers in completing their missions.

Building on this, the Adventurers' Guild has also updated the herb encyclopedia to help adventurers identify valuable herbs while on quests—unless, of course, those too lazy to memorize the encyclopedia are out of the question.

Therefore, the speed at which professionals level up is now much faster than before the establishment of guilds.

If the kingdom continues to develop for a few more years, it is estimated that a large number of mid-level professionals will emerge.

With more mid-level professionals, it's possible to expand outwards and acquire resources.

As a result, the number of high-level professionals will increase rapidly.

However, this is all assuming that things go smoothly in the future.

For the kingdom at present, a high-level combatant is still very scarce.

Today, the kingdom's high-ranking officials are mainly composed of three parts: the king's personal guard (led by Lemons), the noble faction, and the kingdom faction.

The number on the surface is less than thirty.

Anno estimated that even if Charles XI had a trump card, the total number of high-ranking officials in the kingdom would not exceed forty!

Therefore, the fall of a high-ranking official still has a certain impact on the kingdom's strength.

After their fall, the kingdom would hold a grand funeral to show its respect for the high-ranking members.

At the very least, everyone in the royal city should know that the kingdom's hero has fallen while protecting it.

There are naturally various rewards for high-ranking family descendants.

Anno and Kuro both belong to Tester's faction.

Kuro is also the teacher of Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang.

Therefore, at Kuro's funeral, Anno arrived early and asked the Investigator to help maintain order and prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang followed behind Kuro's family.

The knight Alpha, the hunter Assassin, the thief Roger, the mage Julia, and the priest Troy, who fought alongside Kuro in the town of Gruul, also came.

Roger solemnly swore before Kuro's body that he would not allow anyone to bully his family and descendants.

If it weren't for the timely rescue by Kuro and his friends, Roger would have been a corpse by now.

Tester also represented the royal family to offer condolences to Kuro's family.

Thanks to the publicity efforts of the royal family and the Adventurers' Guild over the past few days, Kuro's deeds have become known to the residents of the royal city.

Pedestrians on the street took off their hats to pay their respects as they watched the funeral procession.

They were grieving the fall of the kingdom's hero.

But just as they were about to reach the cemetery, a convoy appeared in front of the procession.

Unfortunately, the carriage wheel broke down, and the entire carriage blocked the road.

The convoy behind them seemed to have no eyes and crashed into them.

A convoy of cars was completely destroyed in the crash.

It blocked the wide eight-lane road!

Upon seeing this, Anno's eyes narrowed instantly.

The funeral procession looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.

"What happened?"

Xue Feibai, who was walking ahead, immediately sent people to clear the road ahead.

Just then, a person stepped out of the broken carriage.

"How did the carriage suddenly break down?"

The person who got off glanced at the queue in front of him and muttered, "No wonder, what bad luck!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for Kuro's family and Xue Feibai and the others at the front to hear.

Kuro's wife's face turned deathly pale instantly, her lips trembled, and tears welled up again in her already swollen eyes.

"Damn it!"

Xue Feibai gritted his teeth and walked up to the man, using his height advantage to look down at him angrily, "Priss, say that again if you dare!"

The person blocking their way was none other than Priss!

Pulis frowned, distancing himself from Xue Feibai, and roared, "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to the Duke of the Kingdom like that? Guards, drag him out and behead him!"

Whoosh!

A group of people instantly disembarked from the other broken carriages on the road.

The six people at the front actively emitted seventh-order magic power fluctuations and walked straight towards Xue Feibai!

Just as a seventh-tier warrior was about to walk up to Xue Feibai and reach out to grab the latter's arm, a figure blocked the two of them.

"Casta, haven't you had enough of a beating from my master? Want to get another one?"

Liz held a whip in her hand and mocked the warrior opposite her without any politeness.

Casta's face darkened upon hearing this.

When Anno had just advanced to the seventh rank, he and the mage Shalin, under Simmons's orders, challenged Anno to a duel.

The purpose was to put Anno down.

But who knew that Anno, who had just entered the seventh rank, would be so powerful.

Both of them were easily defeated by Anno in a tag-team battle, becoming the laughing stock of the others.

"Sending a lowly succubus, a mere contractual possession, to intervene—is your master a coward?"

Casta glanced at Anno not far away and shouted, "Oh, I forgot, your master really is a coward. A coward who only dares to hide in the back!"

Reeves and Zina were said to have been imprisoned, but in reality, Tester transferred them to Anno.

Pulis hasn't been able to find the two of them in the past two days.

Therefore, they were unaware that Anno had already reached the eighth rank.

Casta dared to provoke Anno because he thought Anno was still a seventh-tier player, and that he also had Priss by his side.

Anno didn't react to Casta's insults, but Troy and Tester couldn't help but confront Casta.

Troy: "Casta, I advise you to apologize to Anno right now!"

Tester: "Outrageous! As a high-ranking official of the kingdom, how dare you deliberately cause trouble at a colleague's funeral? Are you trying to disrupt the stability of the kingdom?"

Tester has finally risen to prominence.

In the past, even if Tester was furious, he wouldn't have casually accused Casta of something like this.

Because this would truly disrupt the stability of the kingdom.

With internal strife on both sides, the royal family will ultimately be the loser, regardless of the outcome.

But now Anno is worth a hundred high-level players.

Let alone Casta, Tester doesn't even consider the entire high-ranking members of the aristocratic faction a threat.
