Chapter 363 Bronze Rank

Chapter 363 Bronze RankThose who heard Lyrian say this looked slightly worried and clearly didn't want to laugh.

They had never heard anyone but the Von Haven family directly insult the boy like this. They didn't really know how to react.

At that moment, Hyst lightly chuckled, "Hah! You can say that again!" He said loudly, as the others finally donned small smiles and grins on their faces.

"Oh, by the way, what time did you say it was now? Red Light time?" Lyrian questioned, remembering he saw red and purple lights outside of the dome walls.

"Yeah. Close by here is the Red Light District. A more advanced part of town, both structurally... and physically. People close to the Red Light District, such as those living in Hogolsworth, have long adopted the red and purple lights at night that you commonly see there. It's normal now, but I remember when I was a little kid that it wasn't."

"I see... so this place, the Red Light District, if it follows the concept of those copying it out here in nearby cities, then it is only functional during nighttime, right?"

Rothis was quick to answer for Hyst, "Hehe... yeah man. That's exactly right." She rubbed his hands together, seemingly thinking lewd thoughts with a slight blush.

"Rothis... do you want me to tell your wife about this?" Hyst plainly spoke.

"Wha-!?" Rothis immediately straightened up, "No! Don't! I was only a joke!"

As Hyst laughed, Lyrian exited the room. He had a basic plan in mind moving forward with this mission, and that was to explore.

'A place that only runs at night huh... that's a good enough reason for me to look at it later down the line.' He mused, arriving at the booths at the back of the main building room.

There, the same young lady from before called him over, "Lord Theageld! You passed the exam, right?"

Lyrian paused, walking over to her slightly puzzled, "Yeah... I did. Isn't that all I have to do to become an adventurer?" He asked.

"Yes, you are right about that, but now that you are an adventurer, you need an adventurer rank, you see."

"Ah... alright."

"Mmhm. I have already prepared one for you here," The young lady said, reaching out a thin rectangular plate that was brown. "You will be starting off at the Bronze rank."

"I see..." Lyrian picked the plate up and equipped it on his left pec. The plate had "BRONZE" In all capitals imprinted on it.

"You may access any quests that are ranked Bronze, up to Silver. If you want to choose a higher-ranked quest, however, I'm afraid you will have to schedule a meeting with higher-ups of the guild. They aren't the most free people, so I'd recommend you start slowly by completing low-rank quests first."

"Alright, thank you." Lyrian politely said before beginning to leave.

"Of course!" The young lady exclaimed back, exhaling an exasperated sigh right afterward.

"Wow... a student of Anaviotis!" She exclaimed, excited to even talk to someone of that social stature.

Hyst rejoined Lyrian as they stepped out of the door. Just as they did, however, many quickly exited alongside them.

"Lord Theageld!" A kid no older than Lyrian exclaimed, running in front of him, "Please teach me how to get stronger!" The kid looked to have basic clothes on, dirt smeared on his face.

Lyrian took a quick but deep look at the boy and said, "Train hard and try your best to be better than others."

The kid was taken aback, frozen in place with a smile on his face as Lyrian moved forward.

At that moment a man with a notepad quickly wrote down what Lyrian said, a proud smile on his face, "A great quote indeed."

Many abruptly blocked Lyrian's path, but before they could corner him, Lyrian quickly lifted his hood and walked forward into the crowd.

In seconds he had disappeared, but Hyst made sure to follow him as best as he could through the town.

Out of nowhere, Lyrian looked back at Hyst and waved for a split second, slightly confusing the young man.

As soon as Lyrian stopped waving, he disappeared into thin air out of nowhere, as Hyst halted in place, utterly bewildered.

Those behind him also stopped, looking around to see where the young lord had gone.

Lyrian had used the disappearing ability of the Scar Cloak, allowing him and the cloak to completely vanish from sight.

'A perfect tool for a situation like this.' He mused, steadily returning to the Rocks Adventurer's Tavern.

As he entered, he allowed himself to reappear. Seeing this baffled a few onlookers, whose food fell out from their gaped mouths.

Lyrian walked straight up to Kavenough, asking, "I want to stay a few nights, would that be possible?"

The bar owner happily retorted, "Of course! The price is--" Before Kavenough could reply, a voice from another table interjected.

"Hey! Don't trust him! The one-night stay fee is only two silvers! If he says any more you know he's lying!" Blub suddenly exclaimed as those at his table laughed.

Kavenough shook in anger, clenching his fist as he exclaimed, "You fool! Shut your fat trap! Do you really think I would try to scam a student of Anaviotis!?"

"Hey... once a scammer, always a scammer," Blub replied with charisma, as he too chuckled.

"Ugh--ignore those fools, lord Theageld. But, he is telling the truth. It is two silvers for a night. How long do you wish to stay?"

Inwardly, Kavenough mused, 'Damn those bastards. I could have gotten a pretty penny if they had kept their mouths shut. Tsk... I should ban them from

this tavern.'

"A month. I'll pay for a month's worth of nights for now." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Alright, that will be 60 silver." As Kavenough finished saying this, Lyrian had already put down a golden coin on the table.

The bartender looked down at this, and then back at Lyrian, "A tip?" He quipped with a smile.

"What? No. Give me 40 silver back. I don't want to count 60 silvers." Lyrian quickly replied as Blub's table broke out into laughter once again.

Kavenough's brow twitched at the sight of them, "Right... my apologies." He exclaimed as he gave Lyrian his change.

And with that, Lyrian was led to his room upstairs in the tavern.
