Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Upon hearing this, Lin Gui looked at the saleswoman with a strange expression.

The saleswoman remained unmoved, simply explaining:

"Miss Monica is not, strictly speaking, a priest."

"She is registered as a mage in our guild."

"Furthermore, although she can cast high-level healing spells, she only has the strength of a mid-level mage."

"It can only cast spells above the caster's level, and the effect is not up to the standard of a normal priest's healing."

Lin Gui's expression became even stranger.

Casting spells beyond one's level...

"Her magical talent seems to be quite high."

He said it subconsciously.

In theory, mages can indeed cast spells beyond their level.

The mana consumption of high-level magic is not something that mid-level mages cannot afford.

But very few monks can do that.

As the magical rank increases, higher demands are placed on the magician's magical power.

There are also higher requirements for understanding more complex magic, as well as for controlling magic power, magic circuits, and many other elements.

In other words, it depends heavily on the magician's talent level.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Take Lin Gui himself, for example.

Even at the intermediate level, he could cast the high-level spell [Night Veil].

But this is not because he has a high level of magical talent.

Simply because the [Night Veil] is a magic he created himself.

He was familiar with everything about this magic.

Even according to the proficiency level of magic assigned by the system.

He had just created this magic at that time, and his natural proficiency with it was already at the LV7 level.

As for Lin Gui's own magical talent...

Let's put it this way: he couldn't even meet the entrance requirements for the worst magic academy in the Thousand Towers City.

Therefore, Lin Gui was quite surprised to hear that there was a mage in this remote corner who could cast spells beyond his level.

The saleswoman also sighed:

"Indeed, Miss Monica is the most magically talented magician I have ever seen."

"Unfortunately, she was a commoner from Dragonbone City, and her family was not well-off."

"This talent has been wasted."

Lin Gui nodded.

For mages, talent is important, but the conditions for developing that talent are also very important.

The condition is very simple: money.

The resources required to build up a powerful magician are terrifying.

Even a legendary mage as powerful as Freya is now running a transport business, which shows how expensive mages are.

Lin Gui asked, "You mean, she accepted an advanced commission?"

The clerk nodded, then took out a copy of the order form that Monica had received and handed it to Lin Gui.

The saleswoman looked at Lin Gui and understood that the mage in front of her urgently needed a priest's healing.

She explained Monica's advanced request in detail.

"The job Monica took was cleaning the sewer rats."

"Those demon rats have appeared out of nowhere, and their numbers have been increasing in the last two weeks. They're almost clogging up the sewers."

"Ordinary magic rats are not a problem; even a trainee adventurer can handle one or two."

"But the problem is there are too many of them, and there are even a few rat kings mixed in."

"The Rat King's strength is at least at the mid-level."

"Monica wants to use this commission to upgrade her adventure team to a Silver Adventure Team."

"After advancing to the next level, you'll be able to accept commissions with higher rewards."

The saleswoman paused, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

"I don't know why she insisted on taking this commission."

"With the strength of their group, they could easily take on more reliable tasks and gradually accumulate experience."

"This commission is quite difficult, even dangerous, for them, who are all at the mid-level."

"I tried to persuade her, but it was no use."

"She was determined to take the job."

Lin Gui listened without saying anything.

He took the copy of the order form and glanced at it.

The document lists the details of the commission, the payment, and the name of the person who will receive the commission.

The Thousand Towers Adventure Team, led by Monica, consists of four members, all at the mid-level.

After Lin Gui finishes reading it, don't return the copy of the order form to the clerk.

Then, supporting himself with his staff, he floated away, slightly unsteady.

An hour after Lin Gui left.

A blond figure stepped through the gates of the Adventurers' Guild.

The woman was stunningly beautiful and attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the room.

She was wearing a village woman's outfit.

She wore a drab linen skirt, a coarse cloth belt around her waist, and a pair of old boots covered in mud.

But those clothes couldn't hide her natural charm at all.

noble.

Cold and aloof.

There's also a kind of composure cultivated from long-term high positions.

The young, apprentice adventurers stared in disbelief; they had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

The woman ignored them and walked straight to the counter.

The saleswoman couldn't help but swallow as the man approached.

She wasn't afraid of those novice adventurers, nor was she afraid of that high-level mage from before.

But for this stunningly beautiful woman who clearly comes from an extraordinary background...

Even if the other person's attire is so plain that it violates aristocratic etiquette.

But her demeanor definitely suggested she was a noblewoman.

For nobles, however, a slight misstep could bring disaster upon themselves.

The saleswoman couldn't help but get nervous.

She forced a smile and asked cautiously:

"Um, esteemed guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman's face looked somewhat uneasy and flustered.

She looked at the saleswoman and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, slowly open your mouth:

"Have you...seen a...black-haired mage?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"The injured one should still be carrying an oak staff..."

The saleswoman was taken aback, then remembered the priest she had just met.

"I've seen it."

She nodded.

"He went to find a pastor to take on the role."

"It should be in the sewers."

"They'll probably be back soon."

Hearing this, the woman visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked around, glancing at the bounty posts on the board and then at the novice adventurers around her who were secretly watching her.

Finally, she sighed.

That expression suggested he had made a very difficult decision.

She turned around and looked at the saleswoman.

"Can... can I register as an adventurer here?"

The saleswoman was taken aback.

She looked at the woman, seemingly never expecting that this person, whom she subconsciously considered a rich young lady, would say such a thing.

Adventurers have always been considered lowly servants by nobles.

"Register...as an adventurer?"

The saleswoman stammered as she repeated the sentence.

The woman nodded.

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Excuse me, what is your job rank...?"

The woman looked at her and spoke:

"Elvia Roland".

"My class is Knight."

"Rank: High-ranking superior position".
