Chapter 245: Not one person, but eight people.
While Linda was promoting her work in the square, a group of professionals passed by and stopped for a while.
One of the male knights looked at Linda in the crowd and said to the priest beside him, "Sylvia, when you went to Val'kam to support the Third Prince, you must have made contact with the adventurers, right?"
"Um!"
Sylvia nodded, recalling the adventurer's guild leader who could manipulate undead zombies.
She even suspected that Anno was a member of the Dark Church.
Another female mage pressed on, "How strong are these people?"
"Not so great. Their guild leader also reached level 16 during that war. But..."
"But what?" the female mage asked curiously.
"However, the Adventurers' Guild leader's fighting methods are rather strange; he can control the monsters he kills!"
The knight frowned and said, "A necromancer?"
These guys who play with corpses are basically on the evil side.
If the Adventurers' Guild leader is such a person, then they will definitely suspect the Adventurers' Guild's purpose in coming to the Royal City.
As the pride of the royal city, they will be the backbone of the fight against the Demon King's army in the future.
We must not allow dark forces to grow in the royal city.
"He's not a necromancer. I didn't see him use any necromancy. On the contrary, I noticed his melee abilities were quite good!"
Mages who practice magic are physically weak.
No mage would rush in to engage the enemy in melee combat.
However, as a priest, besides holy light magic, she can also learn some melee skills that can be used in conjunction with a staff.
The female mage said with interest, "Oh, if that's the case, then I'm quite curious about the leader of this Adventurers' Guild!"
"Shalom, he's just a newly promoted third-tier professional. Why are you wasting your time on him, a fifth-tier archmage!"
Sylvia turned around and left the square.
"Ocassi, do you have any thoughts about the Adventurers' Guild Master?" After Sylvia left, Salom turned to the knight beside him.
"I don't have any particular thoughts!"
Knight Ocasio turned and left with an indifferent expression. "After we say goodbye to our teacher, we're going to hunt the dragon that escaped from Sunset Lands. Maybe we'll run into the president of the Adventurers' Guild."
After all, the adventurers' guild was the first place where news of the dragon first broke.
Now, more and more news is reaching the capital.
The news that a fourth-tier dragon has appeared in the Sunset Lands has been confirmed.
Many mid-level professionals are preparing to set off to hunt dragons!
As the pride of the royal city, they naturally desired to hunt down evil dragons to bring glory to themselves.
Upon hearing this, Salom adjusted the large magic hat on his head, a smile appearing on his lips.
"I heard that the red dragon fled south! Val'kam, a city once reduced to ruins by the Demon King's army, is now the birthplace of adventurers. I wonder if there's anything there that might interest me!"
As Shalom left, the other professionals who had been with the three exchanged glances and followed him.
Apart from Sylvia, who has a top-tier talent for the priest class, the other two have advanced talents.
However, there are differences even among high-level talents.
Although the others were also disciples of high-level professionals in the royal city, each of them possessed advanced talent and was considered a prodigy by others.
Compared to the three people in front, the others were far less radiant.
These three are all prodigies who have broken through to the fifth rank at a young age!
Given time, these people will most likely become the kingdom's new high-level professionals!
......
The royal city of Sodar is divided into three levels.
The outer city was inhabited by ordinary people and professionals.
The residents of the inner city were either very wealthy or of high social standing.
The kingdom's ministers and nobles lived here.
The core area is the royal city where the king lived.
At this moment, in the garden of a luxurious mansion in the inner city, six people were gathered together drinking tea, while a young man was talking to them.
Judging from their appearance, the people drinking tea are all quite old.
The oldest one looked very old and frail, with a face full of wrinkles and several missing teeth.
The youngest one is probably in his forties or fifties!
Everyone has an air of authority that comes from long-term high positions.
Although they have different professions, their levels are at least seventh rank!
"Your Highness Tester, I thought you only called me, but I didn't expect you to have called everyone here." The oldest man in the room, with white hair and a white beard, looked at Tester and asked in confusion, "Is there something urgent for Your Highness?"
Everyone else in the room focused their attention on Tester, waiting for his reply.
Logically, Tester should be busy forming the new Tenth Army right now, so why does he have time to hand over all the high-ranking professionals from the Kingdom faction who support him today?
"Dear teachers, I actually have some good news to tell you all today!"
Tester's face was full of smiles.
Two days ago, after Selena told him that Anno had agreed to let Xue Feibai and the others find mentors, Tester immediately contacted a group of high-level professionals and organized this gathering.
"What's the good news?"
Hearing Tester say this, everyone couldn't help but become curious.
In their hearts, Tester has always been a calm and composed person.
Even after the Tenth Army was annihilated in Valcalm, Tester did not show any weakness in the face of accusations from the nobles led by the First Prince; on the contrary, he handled the situation with great composure.
Perhaps some people are disappointed with Tester.
But the high-level professionals who came today are all those who, after seeing Tester's performance, are even more determined to support Tester!
"As everyone knows, I experienced the battle against the remnants of the Seventh Army in Val'kam. In the end, due to a lich, it turned into a siege by an army of undead zombies, and the Tenth Army was almost completely wiped out!"
"If it weren't for Archmage Leonard and Captain Kundalini coming to my aid, I would likely be dead in Val'kam!"
After saying this, Tester looked around at everyone and then changed the subject, saying, "However, I also found a treasure in Valcalm!"
"Treasure?"
"What other treasures does Valkam hold?"
"Your Highness, please just say what's on your mind. Don't keep me in suspense!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please speak!"
"Ahem!" Tester cleared his throat and said, "They are professionals with top-tier talent!"
"What?"
A look of surprise crossed everyone's faces, and they quickly asked, "A top-tier talent? What kind of profession has a top-tier talent?"
It's no wonder everyone was surprised; people with exceptional talent are extremely rare.
None of them possessed exceptional talent.
However, the strongest eighth-tier individuals, who are rarely seen within the kingdom and are known as protectors of the nation, possess exceptional talent.
Among the younger generation, only Sylvia possesses exceptional talent and is the disciple of an eighth-rank priest in the arena.
Sylvia is only twenty-three years old this year, and she is already at the fifth rank.
In everyone's eyes, it's a sure thing that he'll become a seventh-tier player in the future!
Now that Tester says he has encountered a person with exceptional talent, how could everyone not be astonished?
Once they reach their level of strength, they mostly need to undergo arduous training and sudden enlightenment to advance further.
Although killing enemies of the same level can grant a large amount of combat experience.
But seventh-tier monsters aren't like cabbages on the street, something you can encounter anytime.
If you encounter them on the battlefield, none of them are easy to kill.
Who knows, I might be the one who falls!
Therefore, while protecting the kingdom.
Many high-level professionals aspire to train a disciple who has the potential to surpass them in the future.
"Your Highness, please tell me quickly, what is that person's profession?"
The six people in the arena correspond to each profession.
They all secretly hoped that the person Tester met would be in the same profession as them!
Everyone was ready to take on apprentices!
Tester chuckled and said, "There's a reason I've called everyone here. I haven't just encountered one, but eight exceptionally talented professionals!"
