The Craftsman 64 Guild

Daedalus looked up calmly, it looked to be a medium sized bandit group.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days earlier Daedalus had just arrived at a small town, a few days walk from the mountain pa.s.s, and decided to visit the local guild hall. When he walked in most people looked over warily for a moment before looking away. This made Daedalus curious but he didn't mind it.

Daedalus walked over to the receptionist and said "Excuse me miss, I would like to know about any recent high end requests that have been given. Also, I would like to undergo a test to increase my rank."

The receptionist looked him over and said "Okay but first is the ranking test."

Daedalus nodes then he was quickly led down the stairs where they told him to wait for his examiner.

It was only almost three hours later that a man showed up. He was a tall and slim man, however he had very clear muscles but they where well packed and it gave him the look of a hardened veteran fighter. The man looked at Daedalus uninterested for a moment, clearly checking the difference in their cultivations. He then took on a more serious look and said "Might I know your name sir? I am Seral the guild master of this branch."

Daedalus had also looked him over and new that in terms of body refinement Seral was actually a stage higher but was lower in every other regard compared to Daedalus, who was rather well balanced. Daedalus smiled and said "My name is Daedalus, nice to meet you."

Daedalus and the man talked for a while before the receptionist reminded them that Daedalus was actually ment to be undergoing a ranking test. The two men smiled wryly before Seral said "No need, he is stronger than me!"

With that Daedalus was ranked up to A Rank adventurer and the receptionist told him about a bunch of different quests that no other adventurer could do beside maybe Seral. Daedalus was shocked by the sheer quant.i.ty of the high end requests and asked them about why there are so many of these quests. Seral said that the town was just very close to a land with a higher density mana and it had caused the area to house many more powerful beasts than other areas.

Daedalus was of course interested and said "Hmm ok, I will go out there and see about how much of these problems I can find and deal with. I will come back when I am satisfied."

Seral looked astonished before sighing and saying "Ok just remember, come back alive, I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for killing the crown prince of an empire!"
