During the years that Senis was missing, Claire prayed to the god Milis constantly, while also deeply regretting her past actions.
Fortunately, the gods heard her prayers and repentance, and her daughter returned safely.
Claire longed to see her daughter, whom she had missed for over a decade, and also to meet her grandchildren whom she had never met. However, as the head of the Latorea family, Claire felt extremely embarrassed to do so.
As both the clan leader and the mother, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to back down, unless that unfilial daughter Senis came to apologize first.
However, Claire was unaware that her secret sorrow had been witnessed by her other daughter.
Therese hadn't gone far before, and was now hiding in the crack of the door, witnessing her mother's prayer. She couldn't help but show an expression that was both amused and annoyed.
These family members are all strong-willed and stubborn. They clearly care about each other a lot, but none of them are willing to back down.
"It seems that if I want my mother and sister to reconcile, I, Therese, will have to take matters into my own hands."
Unbeknownst to Claire and Therese, in a hotel in the same capital of Milis, but far from the Latorrea family, Senis was also suffering from insomnia, gazing at the opposite side of the Latorrea family's residence, lost in deep thought.
Perhaps sensing Senis's feelings, Wood took the initiative to lead Noren and Aisha away, leaving Senis alone for a while.
The two little ones were clearly oblivious to the adults' emotions; they were simply happy to be able to sleep with their older brother tonight.
Because their brother Wood not only knew everything, but also told them all sorts of stories they had never heard before, and lulled them to sleep.
Chapter 287 Is this kid a top-level adventurer?
The following day, due to the intense battle in the moving maze and the days of travel, Wood's mind was in a state of tension.
So after telling his two younger sisters a story last night, Wood fell into a deep sleep.
He was awakened from his sleep this morning when he felt an unusual sensation on his face.
The moment Wood opened his eyes, he saw an extremely delicate and beautiful face scrutinizing him at very close range.
When he saw Wood wake up, the other person smiled happily and quickly pressed his face against his.
Good morning, nephew. How did you sleep yesterday?
Wood looked helpless as his aunt Therese hugged him tightly, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
He'd been so tense lately that he slept so soundly last night that he didn't even notice when Therese came into their room.
"Isn't Aunt Therese the captain of the Knights Templar? Doesn't she have work today?"
Wood was actually quite bad at dealing with his young aunt, Therese.
Although Therese is her mother Senis's younger sister, there is a significant age difference between them; in fact, Therese was less than ten years old when Senis left home.
So Therese was actually only about ten years older than Wood, but she was inexplicably a generation younger than him, which made Wood quite uncomfortable.
"Even the righteous Temple Knights need rest. I specifically took a day off today to show you around the capital."
"Wood, your attitude is really hurting my aunt's feelings."
Seeing Therese feign a sad expression, Wood sighed helplessly.
This was clearly the first time Therese had acted as an elder, so she was given a chance to enjoy it. Besides, she was the captain of the Temple Knights, so she should know something about the disaster that had occurred in the Fetoa territory.
"Then I'll trouble Aunt Therese to give me a proper tour of the capital."
As for Norren and Aisha, let's just leave them be. They've been exhausted lately; let them get some rest.
Wood tiptoed out of bed, careful not to wake his two sleeping sisters, then covered them with the blankets that had been kicked off, before finally smiling at Therese.
"It seems that Wood, like his sister Senis, is also a loving older brother."
You don't look very old, but you give off a very reliable vibe. Now I'm even more curious, what kind of people are your father and brother?
Upon hearing Therese's words, Wood couldn't help but recall the lewd smiles of Paul and Rudy, and could only absentmindedly reply, "They're both pretty nice people, um, I guess."
As the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, this town is quite prosperous, much more so than the city of Roya where Wood previously lived.
Because it is a theocracy, many statues have been erected in the streets, which should be the so-called god Milis.
With Teresa's introduction, Wood and his companions first went to a well-known magic item shop and bought a bottle of hair growth serum at a high price.
Under the effect of the hair growth serum, Wood's dazzling blond hair grew rapidly again.
To better distinguish himself from Rudy, Wood deliberately increased the amount of hair growth serum this time, allowing his hair to grow to waist length, and then tied it into a ponytail.
It has to be said that hair has a significant impact on a person's appearance.
When Therese saw Wood transform from a bald man into a handsome young man, her eyes lit up again, and she was about to start groping him without saying a word. Fortunately, Wood had anticipated this and dodged her bear hug first.
After dealing with the hair issue, Therese took Wood on a tour of the entire capital, but Wood seemed somewhat distracted until they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild in the capital.
Every kingdom has adventurers, so in any relatively large town, there will be an adventurers' guild.
Wood is currently well-off and is looking to post a quest at the Adventurers' Guild to see if any adventurers who recently returned from the Fituia territory know the specific situation there.
"Hey, hey, hey, really? You think big shots from the Templar Knights would come to a place where nobodys like us gather?"
Compared to other kingdoms, the profession of adventurer is obviously not so well-regarded in the Holy Kingdom of Milis. So when they saw Therese, the captain of the Temple Knights, join the guild, many adventurers began to mock her.
Are you two planning to post a commission?
The receptionist was clearly surprised that the Templar Knights would come to the Adventurers' Guild, but she still asked the question as if it were a formality.
"That's right, I want to issue an S-level mission request to collect information about the cause of the migration disaster that occurred in the territory of Fetoa in the Kingdom of Asura."
Then issue an A-level commission to find people named Paul Greirat, Rudy Greirat, Lilia Greirat, Alice Boreas, and others.
Finding any person on the above list constitutes completing one Level A commission.
As Wood's calm voice echoed throughout the Adventurers' Guild, the previously noisy adventurers fell silent.
"That's quite a sum of money. One S-level commission and more than five A-level commissions. The rewards for these tasks alone must be a huge amount of money."
This boy is from that noble family; he can't possibly be a member of royalty, can he?
The adventurers of Milis had no idea what the so-called disaster transfer was all about, but the fact that a task like finding someone was being issued as an A-level commission seemed to everyone present like it was free money.
Upon hearing that Wood was preparing to issue so many high-level commissions at once, the receptionist gave a professional smile, then said with a troubled expression, "It's fine for this gentleman to issue commissions, but..."
“Crack——————!”
Before the receptionist could finish speaking, Wood casually tossed a bag of gold coins onto the bar counter. Judging from the clinking sound of the coins, there were quite a few inside.
"I know all the rules of the Adventurers' Guild. These gold coins are the deposit for these commissions. There's more money here than I expected."
As for S-rank requests, according to the rules of the Adventurers' Guild, it seems that only nobles with a certain status and adventurers of S-rank or above can issue them.
This is my adventurer's certificate. Although I'm registered in the Kingdom of Asura, I am still an SS-rank adventurer. My name is Wood Greirat.
S-rank quests are the most difficult because they are generally extremely challenging, sometimes requiring a team of several S-rank adventurers to complete.
Each time an S-rank adventurer team is assembled, the guild needs to expend a lot of manpower and resources, so corresponding thresholds have been set.
Chapter 288 Returning to Mother's Hometown
When Wood and Therese walked out of the Adventurers' Guild again, the adventurers in the guild who were still in shock finally came to their senses.
They had initially thought that Wood was the child of a noble family, or even a member of the royal family, but no one expected that the boy was actually a top adventurer with a SS-level rank!
The highest level of a quest request is "S", but the highest level for an adventurer's team is "SSS".
However, S-rank adventurers are already extremely rare, and adventurers above S-rank are even rarer.
S-rank adventurers are generally considered to be in a superior profession, while SS-rank adventurers are generally considered to be in a "saint-level" profession.
Once you reach the "Saint-level" level, you'll be an honored guest in any kingdom or noble household, and you won't need to risk your life as an adventurer.
This is why S-class adventurers can still be found, but SS-class adventurers are nowhere to be found.
However, the blond boy who just appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old was actually an extremely rare SS-class adventurer.
Doesn't this mean that the young man just now was actually a being with strength comparable to a "Saint-level" professional?
At first, everyone thought Wood was just bragging.
However, after repeated confirmation by union staff, they found that Wood's documents were perfectly valid, and the absurd number of tasks completed on the documents, along with the 100% completion rate, left the receptionist speechless.
"I remember now! There really is an eleven or twelve-year-old sword saint. You've heard about what happened at the city gate yesterday, haven't you?"
"You mean that giant magical beast, and that mysterious boy who suppressed the captain of the Temple Knights?"
The incident that happened at the city gate yesterday has already caused quite a stir after a day of discussion. They had just talked about it while drinking and bragging, so it's impossible that they didn't know about it.
"Are you saying that the boy just now was the mysterious boy at the city gate yesterday, the owner of that giant magical beast?"
But wasn't the rumor that the boy was a bald boy who was eight feet tall and had a waist circumference of eight feet?
No matter how you looked at that young man, he seemed like a handsome young man with an air of nobility in his speech and mannerisms.
Because an eleven or twelve-year-old swordsman was so outrageous, these adventurers always treated it as a joke.
"Besides that boy, have you ever seen an SS-rank adventurer of this age before?"
As for the claim that someone is eight feet tall, has an eight-foot waist, and is bald, those are probably just rumors.
Don't forget, the people who were with that boy just now were members of the Templar Knights.
After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Therese looked at Wood, who was a full two heads shorter than her, and was filled with curiosity.
Although she had witnessed some of Wood's abilities before, Therese had always been skeptical about the fact that her nephew was a sword saint.
