Chapter 291 – Wanting a Big Brother

Winterless City

Near the Alliance Offices

Unlike that lazy pervert, the siblings from a small town were very diligent!

No, strictly speaking, it was only the younger brother that was…

“Lin Tian, how much further is it? Mh, Winterless City is too big, we still can’t find it after walking for so long… I-I’m so tired, let’s rest for a bit!” The girl with short black hair walked behind and weakly complained to the youth that was ahead and striding forward with his head held high.

“Sis, you really are useless! Are you tired after just that? Hehe.”

Lin Tian laughed as he made some cynical remarks, but he still slowed down and walked next to Yao Zi. He pulled her aside and found a spot in an inconspicuous place next to the street to sit down to rest while watching people walk by.

They all say that people feel much better when something good happens, so lately Lin Tian has been in a great mood!

First of all, with this period of rest, he made a full recovery! Although his knees still had some problems, but since he wasn’t a warrior, it wasn’t worth mentioning, as long as it didn’t hinder his movement!

This time, they came to Winterless City to become a true Alliance Investigator!

“Hehe, sis, after we get certified, no one will bully us anymore! That Hort and Edmund… if they dare bully you anymore, I’ll beat the shit out of them, and make them cry while they apologize to you!”

“Wu… brother, you don’t have to go that fur, although they’re arrogant, it’s fine if you just endure it, we don’t have to worry about them.” Yao Zi gently smiled, like she was consoling an angry puppy.

“Hmph, that’s no good! I can’t let those bastards bully people!”

Lin Tian fished out that exquisite badge and held it high over hid head against the piercing sunlight and excitedly said, “Completing the investigator certification, just one more step, just one more step away now!”

“Sigh, let’s hope it’ll go well…”

Yao Zi helplessly sighed as she watched her younger brother’s fiery enthusiasm. She didn’t know what to say, she could only hold his arm and silently rested next to him.

Sigh, as the older sister, she really is incompetent. Not only did she not teach her younger brother well, she even had to rely on him to protect her, how lame!

If… if only he had an older brother.

If he had an older brother to discipline him, then he wouldn’t be like this and would be more obedient, and she could also have a man to rely on…

Cough, of course that was just her dreams, how could anything that good happen?

Anyways, they came to Winterless City today for two important things.

The first one, was of course to get certified and claim their salary.

The second was to take a mission.

But what was that so called S-rank mission, Yao Zi still didn’t know.

“Fool, you don’t even know something like that?”

“I don’t… actually it’s fine even if we don’t come to take this mission, right?”

“Of course not! This mission is extremely important!”

Since Lin Tian had nothing to do, he began explaining just how important this mission was with great interest.

The so called S-rank mission.

Usually, the alliance would factor in things like a mission’s difficulty, scope of impact, priority to rank missions from the lowest E rank to the highest S rank, a total of six ranks.

Of course, there was also the existence of SSS-rank missions that were above S-rank, the only reason they weren’t included in the normal mission ratings was because it was too rare. They couldn’t even be called missions, because they would only be issues during large-scale war times, rather than missions, it was more appropriate to call them conscription orders.

Thus, S-rank missions were the highest ranked, most important and most difficult missions that the Alliance offices would post. Although it was difficult with a high amount of risk, but it was also extremely lucrative.

“I hear that there’s also ranks among the investigators! Just like with missions, it’s split into six different ranks from E to S, and the hero is obviously the highest SSS-rank! If I can continuously complete S-rank missions and rank up, then I might even become a hero candidate in the future!”

Lin Tian spoke with shining eyes, like he already saw himself standing at the apex while holding the Holy Sword.

“Uh… but I don’t think you’re strong enough, the hero should be really strong, right? But you’re not.” Yao Zi blinked while saying the truth.

“Uh… nonsense, I’m not weak either! I’m just not strong enough, if I work hard, then I’ll definitely become stronger!” Lin Tian clenched his fist, then looked at Yao Zi while thinking about something, “Then sister, what about you?”

“Me? What about me…”

Yao Zi stopped when he questioned her.

When she saw his suspicious gaze, she obviously knew that he wasn’t asking whether she was diligently practicing her magic circles and whether she can cast fifth-level magic, but something else.

Wizard’s bloodline.

Although Yao Zi could fool other people. but he was her brother, so it wasn’t as simple.

Lin Tian knew that the person who killed the Lesser Devils in the end was his sister, so that means she was the rumored person that possessed the Wizard’s bloodline.

But he didn’t understand why she wouldn’t acknowledge it and would always avoid the topic when he brings it up.

“So, what is the Wizard’s bloodline?” Since it seemed like he was making it difficult for her, he didn’t force her and changed the topic.

“I don’t know either. They all say that I possess the Wizard’s bloodline, and I’m an extremely strong person… but you know me the best, how could I be someone like that? Also, I don’t want to either… how scary is that.”

“Right, Yao Zi is an idiot, a coward who is scared of the dark!”

“I-I’m not a coward! Being scared of the dark… is just an instinctive response!”

Yao Zi angrily pouted and pretended to be angry to avoid the topic.

Actually, she wasn’t hiding it and playing dumb on purpose, it was because even she couldn’t confirm whether she actually had the Wizard’s bloodline or not, so she couldn’t jump to a conclusion. She could only use that power in a moment of life or death, and she couldn’t even feel it at all normally, like it wasn’t even there. So she could only temporarily ignore it and then slowly study it later when she gets a chance.

After resting for a while, they were both revitalized and Lin Tian dragged Yao Zi along, past one more street until they finally arrived at the legendary Alliance Office.

The place wasn’t big, it was a small and plan-looking house with a circular plaque hanging by the door. The decoration at the entrance were also plain and simple, if it wasn’t for Lin Tian making sure there were no errors, he would have thought that he was at the wrong place.

“Uh… why does it look like a restaurant?”
