Chapter 22

Episode 22

“Then take a look.”

“thank you.”

Damian glanced at the captain of Whispering Island and turned his head.

It was a familiar landscape.

Green forests reflected beyond the shallow sandy beach and vast plains that stretch endlessly.

And the gigantic fortress, dimly reflected in the distance, boasted a vast width and height, just like that of the Middle Ages, creating a magnificent scenery.

< Terra > was one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the eastern part of the Arsia continent and the undisputed center of the eastern part.

“It’s still the same.”

Damian laughed as he watched the chat window go up quickly.

It was a huge crowd.

It is difficult to follow with the naked eye, so you can see how many users there are.

Damian glanced over the chat windows with his eyes, while confidently following the adventurers to Terra.

Although he had the atrocious tendency of -9999999999, he had already tricked Elmoore and the villagers once.

Before that skillful behavior and improvisation, the propensity penalty was no longer a problem.

– Looking for someone who wants to go to the desired dungeon raid! Healer will give you preferential treatment!

– Who wants to run a short-term mercenary part-time job for a week? Accommodation provided!

– I’m going to catch the countess crazy! 1000 gold per day! Only those who have a good personality!

“Uh.”

Damian stuck out his tongue at the voice resounding from the lobby on the first floor of the building he arrived at.

It was a pretty grand place.

It is a huge building measuring 300 pyeong with its thick stone walls and exposed square beams.

The building was filled with people of all kinds despite its size, and Damian had no choice but to take a deep breath as he saw the scenery reminiscent of Dottegi Market.

“Oh, I’m going to die!!!”

“Come out and see!!”

It was because the counter located on the other side of the entrance door was crowded with hundreds of people who were like a wall of people.

‘It’s too late if I get blank and forget.’

Poof! Whiik!

Damian made his way through the crowd of users in the lobby to the counter.

It was a place reminiscent of a bank teller.

Dozens of employees, all dressed in black and white uniforms, sitting at their desks dealing with huge crowds.

“Did you finish the quest well?”

“No, so the schedule...”

“Adventurer. Then you go to the goal. This is a platinum level commission.”

“I don’t think you’ve ever served as an escort before. Will you be okay?”

“The dividend is...”

And Damian could feel the old nostalgia coming back once again as he saw those employees busy dealing with people.

This was the < Adventurer's Guild >, one of Terra’s core facilities and one of the most crowded places in the kingdom.

“Maria! Bring all the adventurer license applications that came in today!”

“yes!!!”

No matter how much he had done his research beforehand, it was because he felt the composure of an unknown strongman in this adventurer.

“Is there any need for any preparation? If you go in, equipment maintenance will be limited.”

“Because it’s a test to prove your usual skills.”

“...So much confidence. Come with me.”

Tring!

And a new quest window appeared before Damian’s eyes.

* * *

Notice: If you give up this quest, an iron license will be automatically issued!

“long time no see.”

Damian licked his lips while looking at the quest window that appeared in front of him.

It was a quest that came to my mind the moment I followed Hassan to the back of the counter.

The moment I closed my eyes to the sunlight pouring in from the huge arched exit after passing through a long and wide aisle like that of the World Cup Stadium.

Damian could hear a loud and cheerful voice resounding at the same time as a huge circular structure reminiscent of the Colosseum appeared.

“Adventurers from standby numbers 301 to 400~! Please prepare for the test!”

“...wow.”

There was a huge crowd in the middle of the stadium.

“Summon gate.... This must be a bit difficult.”

Damian wiped his chin at the sight of the Colosseum.

A guild employee in a maid outfit was waving her arms on the podium.

A platform several meters high built on a sandy open field, and a total of ten lines of dozens of people below the platform.

And from the back of the platform, Damian could find a high arched door and a thick iron grate attached to a pulley.

This is the place Terra branch created to test adventurers, and Master Arceus of < Monster's Tower > put his heart and soul into this masterpiece.

It was < Summon Gate >.

“If you go behind the podium, you will see an exam hall where you can take your exams~! If you defeat the monsters summoned to the test site, you will pass! There are a total of ten steps, so please refer to it and shout out to give up if you think you can’t do it in the middle!”

“Are you a real monster?! Maria?!”

“It is an illusion created by wizards belonging to the guild! I’m just pretending! Of course, since Arceus-sama personally supervised the data, there shouldn’t be a big difference from reality, right?”

When people asked questions, the maid called < Maria > winked.

It was literally.

The way the Terra branch of the Adventurer Guild grants licenses is none other than how efficiently you defeat monsters.

The reason why the adventurer’s guild set the standard for killing monsters was because most of the requests were from monsters, and it was a very practical method.

If it was natural, it was natural.

Just as all kings and nobles could not directly solve the problems that occurred in their territory, each kingdom was solving various civil complaints by subcontracting to the adventurer’s guild.

In other words, the reason why the Terra branch of the adventurer’s guild commissioned Arceus to supervise and advise on the construction of Summon Gate was also to select those who could best defeat monsters and differentiate their ranks.

“Then~ let’s begin~.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Eventually, starting with Maria’s clear voice, the moment when the iron bars at the entrance where Damian and the participants entered came down.

– Kyaaaaaaa!

– Aaaaaaagh!

– Save me!!!

Kwajik! Quick! Quadduk! Fast! Kwajijik!

Damian could hear a terrible scream echoing from the door behind the podium, and at the same time, all sorts of destructive sounds and monsters’ roars filled the arena.

“...is it the start?”

It was the start of testing.
