The following day, when Violet and Xiao Guang returned to the Adventurer’s Guild in Flame Dragon City, they received two small Mithril-level identity badges that had been hastily made overnight. They also received adventurer handbooks that recorded their basic information.

 

The handbooks contained some common knowledge and skills useful for adventure life, specifically for reference by beginners.

 

With this, they had officially become Mithril-level registered adventurers and were ready to take on various quests.

 

“Sister, do you have any interesting quests in the guild, preferably related to dragons, regardless of the difficulty?”

 

After completing the registration, Violet got straight to the point.

 

“Dragons, huh… Let me see.”

 

The receptionist girl who had helped Violet and Xiao Guang register the previous day thought for a moment, then lowered her head to flip through the quest catalog on the desk. She had heard from her colleagues about the news that these two possessed “real strength far beyond Mithril level,” so she certainly wouldn’t neglect them.

 

Tasks related to dragons typically had higher difficulty levels and were not usually eligible for regular novice adventurers to take on, as per the regulations.

 

When adventurers are not of a sufficient level, but the receptionist judges that the other party indeed has the ability to solve the commission, exceptions can also be made.

 

Of course, if commissions provided in similar situations fail, the receptionist who vouched for them will need to bear some responsibility.

 

However, in the eyes of this young lady, these two young girls already have such strength at a young age, and they are also exceptionally beautiful. In the future, they will probably become renowned top adventurers in the kingdom, or even the world. Right now, it’s a wise investment to show support.

 

After all, receptionist also need to achieve good results.

 

No matter where they go in the future, This City is already their registered place, which is enough.

 

“I’ve found it. Although it’s only barely related… Currently, there are a total of four commissions related to dragons recorded by the guild. Look, this is the detailed content.”

 

“Great, thanks~”

 

Violet received the four commissions handed over by the receptionist, and quickly glanced through them.

 

“Hmm…”

 

“Help find the escaped third-tier magical beast, the ‘Warcraft Flame Bird’ fledgling? Hey, are you seriously raising magical beasts in the city, and you don’t even know where it flew off to? The reward is also so stingy, it’s absurd! Let’s change to another one…”

 

“Master alchemist Mr. Jax wants to brew a vitality-enhancing and virility medicine? Requires ten portions of essence blood from magical beasts with dragon lineage, at least 500 milliliters each… emmm… Well, I guess let’s forget about that one.”

 

“Mr. Frank, a prominent eastern city merchant, has recently encountered an unknown ailment affecting his beloved dog. The dog appears lethargic and exhibits partial signs of dragonification. Mr. Frank is willing to offer a substantial reward to any skilled individual who can save his dog, and if they can help achieve a complete dragon transformation, there will be an additional bonus…?”

 

“No, wait, dogs want to become dragons too? What on earth is this guy thinking? But lethargy and partial dragonification… it does resemble 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 to some extent, doesn’t it? Could this be the breakthrough point?”

 

After a brief contemplation, Violet dismissed the sudden speculation.

 

“No, this is probably just an innocent creature caught up in all of this. The true cause of the disease is most likely not starting from here. Otherwise, Lady Anastasia and the others wouldn’t have let it go unchecked.”

 

Miss Priestess shifted her gaze to the last commission description and, after a moment, her silver-blue eyes narrowed slightly.

 

【Investigate the Truth Behind the Monster Outbreak in the Fallen Dragon Valley】

Description: In the northern part of Enderon City, the Fallen Dragon Valley, there has been a recent outbreak of low-level magical beasts and creatures that typically stay within the valley. They have ventured outside the valley, damaging crops and harming livestock and people.

Options:
1. Assist village guards in defense – Requires at least Copper or Mithril level /
2. Leave the village to eliminate rampaging external magical beasts – Requires a team of four with at least Mithril level or higher /
3. Delve deep into the Fallen Dragon Valley for investigation – Minimum requirement is Steel level.

Reward: Depending on the type and number of magical beasts killed and the results of the investigation, those who quell the magical beast outbreak will receive a reward of 10,000 gold coins.

“This one seems to be quite on point, and it’s the Fallen Dragon Valley…”

 

“Hey, Xiao Guang, do you remember when Isaac mentioned the first case of dragon blood disease during the treatment?”

 

Miss Dragon tilted her head in thought.

 

“It should be… about half a month ago?”

 

“Yes, I remember it was around that time.”

 

Violet opened the commission letter and showed the registration time at the bottom to her pet.

 

Although Little Dragon didn’t know the Kingdom’s language very well, she could still make out a few numbers.

 

“Um… the time this commission was registered is also half a month ago? Master, do you mean…?”

 

“Yes, it seems like it.”

 

The black-haired girl smiled knowingly, rolled up the various commission letters, returned the extra ones to the waitress, and kept the one titled “Investigate the Fallen Dragon Valley.”

 

“Sister, I’d like to take on this commission, please.”

 

The receptionist glanced casually at the papers spread out on the counter by Violet and immediately recalled the details of this mission.

 

“Is this the one you want? So, which action plan would you like to choose? To be honest, while you and your partner may be confident in your abilities, since it’s your first mission, we recommend…”

 

“I choose the third one.”

 

Violet spoke with a calm tone, wearing a gentle smile on her face, as if she were discussing something as minor as “I take my coffee without sugar.”

 

“Oh? Well, all right.”

 

The receptionist displayed a wry smile, as she had somewhat anticipated the scene unfolding before her. Judging by their fearless demeanor, aside from the possibility of youthful brashness, they must have had enough strength as a foundation to be so confident.

 

Considering that one of them had defeated and seriously injured Mr. Ivan, a Mithril-level adventurer, with a single move, could it be… a Sky-level powerhouse?

 

The waitress named Eleanor Wilde’s heart couldn’t help but quicken its pace.

 

A Sky-level adventurer, a rarity in all of Enderon City. Even though she had been working here for three to four years, she hadn’t seen many of such individuals, let alone two young ones like this.

 

Eleanor Wilde made up her mind.

 

“In that case, I, Eleanor, can vouch for both of you and allow you, Mithril-level adventurers, to take on this Steel-level commission. I’ll handle the paperwork and everything.”

 

“Just to confirm once more, do Mithril-level adventurers Miss Violet and Miss Xiao Guang want to accept the commission to investigate the truth behind the monster outbreak in the Fallen Dragon Valley?”

 

“Of course, thank you.”

 

“…Alright.”

 

With that, Eleanor Wilde looked around discreetly, covered her mouth like she was whispering a secret, and softly reminded the black-haired girl in front of her.

 

“In addition, there are other adventurers within the city who have also accepted the commission to investigate the Fallen Dragon Valley. If you and your partner happen to encounter them in the valley, please be careful… The reward for the commission is only one, and being an adventurer, it’s easy for accidents to happen.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Violet furrowed her brow. From Eleanor’s peculiar actions and tone, she sensed something unusual.

 

“Could it be that you mean…”

 

“Shh!”

 

The astute receptionist quickly shook her head at her and gave her a look that could only be understood without words.

 

With hints so clear, if Violet still couldn’t grasp it, she would truly be a fool. Even Miss Dragon, whose expression turned a bit colder at the words, let out a slightly disdainful hum from her nose, which was rather cute.

 

“I understand, thank you for the reminder, sister.”

 

The priestess nodded knowingly.

 

It seemed that competition in the adventurer industry was quite fierce. Well, the forest is big, and it’s natural to encounter all sorts of birds. She should have thought of that… Did Uncle Lester and his relatively upright style give her the wrong impression?

 

Oh well, she hoped they wouldn’t foolishly pick a fight. Otherwise…
