Chapter 52 Registered Adventurer
After Alex scanned the card, he looked up at the receptionist and asked, "Does this mean that I'm an adventurer now and can take quests for myself?"
Lisa smiled and replied, "Yes, you may now choose any quests that you want as long as it's rank-E or at most, rank-D."
"But before you start taking a quest, first let me explain to you about the Adventurer Guild."
Hearing that, Alex did not decline, "Sure, please tell me about it."
"Then, let me explain to you about the guild's ranking system." Lisa said.
"In the Adventurer's Guild, we have 6 ranks. From lowest to highest, they are E, D, C, B, A, S."
"S is the highest rank and they are said to have enough power to stand equal to any Kingdoms."
When she said that, a proud look couldn't help but appear on Lisa's face.
Continuing, she said, "To increase your rank, all you have to do is complete 10 quests that are the same as your rank or 5 quests one rank higher than your current rank."
"Every time you complete a quest, the guild card will record it."
"Once you successfully finish enough quests to rank up, the guild card will send you a notification through the 'World System'."
A serious look appeared on Lisa's face as she said to Alex, "Remember to never lose your guild card because if you do, you will have to register again and go back to rank-E."
Hearing that, Alex frowned before nodding.
"Oum, thank you, I will make sure to never lose it."
With Alex's words, the serious look on Lisa's face got immediately replaced by a gentle smile like before.
Then, she told Alex a few more things before saying, "Now I have told you everything that's needed to be told."
"You can now go there to the Quest Board and choose a quest that you want to do."
Alex smiled and said, "Okay, thanks, Lisa!"
He was about to walk away but he remembered his real purpose for coming to the Adventurer's Guild.
"Oh, wait," he looked at Lisa again and said, "Uhm, I want to ask about one last thing."
Tilting her head a little, Lisa asked, "What is it, sir?"
Alex scratched his head and said, "Actually, the main reason why I came to the Adventurer's Guild was to ask about the Trial Tower."
When she heard the name Trial Tower, Lisa's eyes widened.
"Are you going through class advancement?" She asked.
Alex didn't say anything and just showed her his guild card.
Lisa covered her mouth in surprise and said, "You're already level 25 and also, you're actually a mage!"
Alex confusedly tilted his head and said, "Is it that bit of a deal to be at level 25?"
"I mean, I know that you'll go through class advancement at level 25 but, it's not anything special, right?"
"After all, it's still just level 25."
Lisa looked at Alex with blank eyes.
Then she said, "Of course it's a big deal!"
"You have to know that here in Kupido Town, the highest ranking adventurer is only B-rank."
"And a level 25 can be said to be at the level of a C-rank."
"That means, even though you're only an E-rank right now, your true combat power is actually equivalent to a C-rank adventurer."
"Just one rank away from the highest ranking adventurer here in Kupido town!"
A look of understanding appeared on Alex's face.
"Oh, so that's the case, huh."
Lisa nodded in satisfaction after seeing that Alex understood.
After that, she said, "Anyway, about the Trial Tower, there's no tower here in Kupido town."
"Eh, then where am I supposed to look for a Trial Tower?" Alex asked.
"The only Trial Tower here in Kyisis Kingdom is in the capital, Nagels."
Hearing that, Alex frowned.
Scratching his head, he said, "How can I go to the capital then?"
"Well, Nagels is far from here so it will take about a month or so if you travel there on foot."
"If you don't want that, you can hire a carriage and pay 10 silver coins to get there."
Alex pondered for a bit before saying, "Do you have a map that leads to Nagels?"
Lisa smiled and grabbed something from under the counter and gave it to Alex.
"Here's a map, you can buy it for just a silver coin."
Alex picked up the map and looked at it.
It's a rough map that just marks some landmarks on the road heading towards Nagels.
After looking at it for a while, Alex said, "Okay, I'll buy it."
He took a silver coin from his inventory and handed it to Lisa.
After that, Alex asked a few more things before leaving the counter.
Next, Alex walked towards the Quest Board.
With his hand on his chin, Alex looked through the available quests on the board.
"Hmm, should I take a quest?"
Most of the quests for E-ranks are just gathering, delivery, cleaning, and other odd jobs.
As for D-ranks, there are some subjugation quests for monsters such as goblins, wind wolves, horned rabbits, etc.
They are just low-level monsters, perfect for D-rank adventurers to fight with and increase their levels.
After thinking for a while, Alex decided to take the subjugation quests for D-ranks.
Since it's easy and he can complete it without taking too much time.
If he does it immediately, it's possible that he can rank up within today.
After deciding that, Alex did not waste more time and left the guild.
Since those subjugations are continuous quests, Alex only needs to hand over proof of subjugation to the guild to complete those quests.
Alex left the town and once again headed to the Black Forest.
By the way, Ferri was with Alex the whole time back in the guild but he casted [Stealth] on him so that people won't see him.
But after leaving the town, Alex removed the [Stealth] on Ferri and rode on his back.
Patting his neck, Alex said, "Ferri, let's go back to the Forest and hunt some monsters!"
"Woof!"
Just like that, Alex and Ferri went back yo the forest after leaving it not long ago.
