Chapter 78: Leaving Astor Kingdom

The day after his examination, Alros wh to the Advture Guild with an intt. As he reached the counter, he quickly asked, "Are there good places to travel too? Preferably with Advture Guild branch being nearby,"

"Oh, you are planning to leave the city?" the receptionist asked. Wh Alros asked her for other branches of Advture Guild along with the best place for rookies like him to travel, she quickly connect the dots.

"Yes, I become and advturer because I want to travel all over the world with as little restrictions as possible. Gaining money from all that is just a bonus," Alros said with an easy going grin.

"Hhmm, in that case, do you want to remain in Astor Kingdom or go somewhere else?" she asked. Alros put his hand under his chin, pretding to be thinking about it ev though he already made his decision weeks ago.

"Somewhere else. I would like to travel beyond the kingdom," he said though his main reasoning is not that, 'I don't want to stay at a kingdom with a lot of people that can threat me,'.

While he only met C-rank in Sur City, he knew and could some what sse the presce of a more powerful combatant, likely at B-rank.

Not to mtion, while the person might be the only B-rank in the city, they are not the only one in the Astor Kingdom. From what he heard, every city has a B-rank overseeing it, with multiple B-ranks being prest at the capital.

Not to mtion, there are some B-rank Advturers in the kingdom. And that is not all. While he is not sure, it is likely the kingdom also has an A-rank combatant, likely at the capital city but he would not take such chances.

To sure his safety, he decide to go to a smaller kingdom, preferably one bordering a Mana Zone. There should be Advture Guild Branch there and he would be able to gain mana by staying inside the Mana Zone, just like he did inside the Lunos Forest.

"If that is the case, the Nation of Betrum will be good for you. It bordered Astor Kingdom and there is a peace treaties betwe the two nations, so it is easy to travel there, especially as an advturer.

While the capital did not have an Advture Guild Branch, a city bordering the Zell Forest has one. Oh, I should explain about Zell Forest. Zell Forest is nicknamed Forest of Bug because all of it's monsters are bugs of large sizes.

While it is not a popular place by any means, compared to other advturer's hotspots, it did not lack advturers either. After all, the carapace of the monsters there plus threads and poisons obtained from the monsters worth a lot of golds, and is something that is regulated by the Bertrum Nations.

So, it is easy to buy such things there, which will be more expsive elsewhere.

"To think I will find bears as well," Alros remarked, looking at the brown beast under his feet. He had never expected to see one. After all, while he knew of their presce, he never see one until today.

"You will make a fine addition to my collection," use of Subdue turned the beast into a loyal monster, ready to do his bidding.

"This should be ough," he exclaimed, looking at the amount of food item he had. While he could buy some from the system space, he prefer to buy it by himself.

With that said, he still has more days. A trip to the city's Underworld would be great.

"Looks like the damage is still there,"

"Yeah. After all, this attack killed a lot of forcers, and powerful ones at that. So, there is more thugs and thieves causing trouble to all but the most powerful business,"

Alros has a wry smile on his face, hearing it. He could have never thought his attack on the Underworld would still be talked by the people there.

Thankfully, Illusion and Disguise allow him to remain undetected as long as he play it safe. But for now, he should get the stuff he had be looking for.

"Poison, check. Provision, check. Spear, check. Books, check. Leather armor, check. Clothing, check.

That should be all. I am good to go," he said to himself, doing one last check at the morning the day before his travel to the Betrum Nation.

"I wonder what kind of interesting monsters I will find there,"
