Why does Han Mu want to become an adventurer? It is because he thinks that with a convenient pass and identity authentication, he should be able to travel through most of the continental countries, looking for clues about events or companions. And the adventurer's guild is often the place where there are the most clues.

As for the young girl working at the Adventurer's Guild, she was trying to remind Han Mu kindly. She had seen many young people like Han Mu, who might have picked up some crude weapons and armor on the battlefield through some luck or other means, and then wanted to be adventurers.

Wielding weapons to easily defeat monsters, gaining admiration, fame, wealth, and love - this misconception made adventurer an ideal and admired profession for many young people.

However, those without talent and without the favor of the goddess of fate are likely to encounter insurmountable situations on their journey, leading to the end of their lives.

"Sigh, okay, since you are so persistent, please pay 20 silver coins, with 2 of them as the adventurer registration fee, and the other 18 as the deposit for the first task. If you complete the first task within three months, the deposit will be refunded to you, and you will be officially granted the title of Apprentice Adventurer, along with the "Rank Bracelet" and "SD Card" as adventurer identity marks."

20 silver coins are a considerable expense, which is the Guild's method to drive away those without sincerity.

"Alright, no problem."

Han Mu took out a small cloth bag prepared in advance from his waist and counted out 20 silver coins to give to the clerk.

The clerk checked the silver coins, and seeing that they were kingdom-minted, she accepted them without suspicion.

"Please state your name."

"Isaac Rockefeller."

Han Mu did not hesitate to give a false name.

The young clerk didn't ask for any proof of identity or document for the name, but simply wrote Han Mu's name on a prepared sheet of yellow parchment paper.

It is common for adventurers to hide their real names, and the Adventurer's Guild does not establish strict review systems for these names. As long as you complete your missions well, they do not care where you come from.

However, once you become an apprentice adventurer, the Guild will carefully check some wanted criminals' portraits, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and prevent people from thinking that the Guild is a place to harbor filth.

Of course, this lax scrutiny of information applies to low-level adventurers, as there are just too many of them. It would be a hassle to check each and every one of them.

But once you reach the "Gold" rank as an individual, after the Guild approves your promotion, when you are invited to update your "Rank Bracelet" and "SD Card," they will have a realistic painter draw your portrait, and collect your adventurer name, portrait, and other information to be stored and archived in the main Guild data base. Your name, portrait, rank, estimated strength, and other information will then officially appear in the adventurer's roster next year.

At this point, you are already a well-known adventurer recognized and approved by the Continental Adventurer's Guild and various countries.

Your information can be found in the Adventurer's Guild in various locations.

"Gender."

"Male."

"Age."

Han Mu hesitated for a moment. He was 27 years old mentally, but he looked like a 17-year-old boy.

"17."

"Are you not lying about your age? Well, never mind. Your proficient weapon and your confident skill."

"My proficient weapons are a two-handed axe and a sword. As for my confident skill, unfortunately, I don't have any."

The clerk fanned the still-wet ink with her hand, quickly drying it, and then turned the parchment paper to another side, placing a red-inked metal box on the left.

"Please check the accuracy of the information, and if it's correct, press your handprint. After that, you can take it. This is your recommendation letter as an Apprentice Adventurer. With the letter, you can apply to temporarily join an adventurer's group below the Silver rank. Of course, others can refuse. If you don't have any acquaintances, you can only accept E-rank tasks or below on your own."

"Alright, I understand.""Have you seen the notice boards around? Each board has a level indicator for the missions available in that area, so you can choose the mission you want. You need to complete the first commission within three months, otherwise, the recommendation letter will become invalid, and the deposit won't be refunded."

"I understand."

The title on the parchment was "Adventurer Guild Recommendation Letter", and Han Mu confirmed the information again, making sure there were no problems. He pressed his handprint, rolled it up, and put it away.

This is how Han Mu and the receptionist stared at each other for more than 30 seconds. The receptionist lady was staring at Han Mu with wide eyes.

"What, do you have any more questions?"

"No, I mean, doesn't the Adventurers Guild have any ability tests or explain experiences for new adventurers? Is that all?"

It seemed like a funny question, and the receptionist lady slightly tilted her head, covering her mouth with one hand.

"Pfft, you're not joking, are you? That's why you're a newbie. Ability tests? The level of ability can be judged by the missions completed."

"Ah, I see. Indeed, actual combat is the best way to test one's abilities."

Han Mu was relieved. He was worried that if the other party brought out a crystal ball or something for an ability test, he would have to find a way to deal with it.

"As for experience and basic common sense, the Guild won't do that either. It's something every adventurer should prepare before official duty. If they can't even gather and organize basic information, they'd better not be adventurers. Can you agree with that, newbie?"

"I can agree."

"You agreed quite quickly, but I don't know if you actually understood. Let me add a little more. Whether it's combat or escape, the level of these abilities is the adventurer's responsibility. If they accept a mission they can't complete and cause an accident, it has nothing to do with the Adventurer's Guild. It's their own fault for not doing their research beforehand!"

The receptionist lady said, stretching out her index finger, half standing up and pointing at Han Mu's cheek.

"So, gathering information is crucial! Sometimes it's wise to give up! No one will laugh at you. Understand, newbie?"

Listening to the cute receptionist scolding him as a newbie, Han Mu chuckled.

The receptionist seemed to be angered by Han Mu's laughter.

"You, rookie, don't get me at all! I'm so mad! If you have nothing else, please leave! I won't bother with you anymore, hmph!"

It seemed that the receptionist lady was really angry, crossing her arms. Han Mu felt a little embarrassed, thanked her, and left the counter.

After hearing Han Mu's thanks, the receptionist lady seemed to have calmed down a bit, puckering her lips.

"At least you're a polite newbie."

Now that Han Mu had successfully processed the "Adventurer's Guild Novice Recommendation Letter" and become a probationary adventurer, he could join teams ranked Silver or lower.

Qiao enthusiastically invited Han Mu to join his team.

"How about it, Isaac! Would you like to join my team for a while? I'll train you well. My team is leaving for a monster hunting mission the day after tomorrow, and we are short of support staff. It would be great for you to see what it's like, and with my protection, you won't be in danger."

Although very grateful for Qiao's kindness, Han Mu did not plan to become an adventurer just yet, and time did not allow it either. He was supposed to take Xiaoming back to the werewolf tribe tomorrow.

Today, as mentioned earlier, he was only here to learn more about the adventurers and gather information.

"No need, thank you very much for your kindness. I just came to learn about the adventurer's situation today."

"I see. Since you've decided, I won't force you. But if you change your mind before the day after tomorrow, you can find me at Elsie's place tomorrow night. My teammates and I will be drinking there."

"Alright, if I change my mind, I'll definitely come to find you."

"It's about time for me to leave. I hope to see you again soon."After finishing their conversation, Qiao and a middle-aged sturdy man who seemed to be his companion left the Adventurers' Guild through the main entrance. Before they left, Han Mu and the sturdy man nodded to each other in a friendly manner.

Han Mu turned around and casually looked at the notice board in front of him. There were various types of tasks, such as hunting, gathering, escorting, mentoring, and hunting, but since he had no intention of accepting any commissions, he merely glanced at them.

Next, it's really time to go to the tavern and find out some information about the hero.

A moment after Han Mu left the Adventurer's Guild, two knights riding white horses arrived in front of the guild. They casually tied their horses and quickly walked inside.

It seemed like they had some urgent business, but it was none of Han Mu's concern, so he didn't pay any attention to them.

"Ah, young man, thank you for the wine, it tasted great."

"Feel free to keep drinking if you like, as long as you can hold it."

In a tavern, Han Mu targeted a disheartened adventurer. Such characters generally spill information as long as it doesn't pertain to their personal lives, so long as Han Mu could get on their good side.

Having found such a person in the second tavern, Han Mu felt that his luck was excellent.

Moreover, once he could get the man drunk, he would likely forget what they had talked about the next day when he sobers up.

He might even forget what Han Mu looked like.

Eagerly inviting the man to have more drinks, Han Mu quickly established a close relationship with him.

No one would refuse free stuff.

The sound of glasses clinking filled the room, and soon the two mugs of beer were near empty.

Due to his extraordinarily high alcohol tolerance, the drinks were as ineffective as water for Han Mu.

Meanwhile, the adventurer sitting opposite him seemed tipsy. He finished the rest of his beer in one gulp, burped, and pointed at the empty glass.

Han Mu immediately understood what he wanted.

"Let's have two more, shall we? One for you, one for me, and of course, I'll cover the bill."

Han Mu also finished the remaining drink by downing it in one go.

"Don't mention the bill, it ruins the atmosphere!"

Although this guy said so, he didn't seem to have any intention to decline, and he openly accepted Han Mu's hospitality.

"Can I order a barbecue set meal? The barbecue set meal here is a must-try, it's delicious! Uncle, I highly recommend it. Although it's a bit pricey, I believe you won't mind such a small amount of copper coins. Drinking without barbeque just doesn't feel satisfying enough."

Han Mu gently laughed and nodded slightly, not at all unwilling to grant the not-so-unreasonable request.

Seeing that Han Mu agreed to his slightly impolite request, the adventurer seemed quite happy. Fearing Han Mu might change his mind, he immediately called out to the kitchen.

"Boss, two more beers and a barbecue set meal... the one with extra portions!"

Upon hearing this, a scruffy-looking uncle stuck his head out from the kitchen.

"Keep it down, Kell. I heard you. You still haven't paid off your tab, and you have the nerve to order a barbecue set meal, with extra portions no less!"

"Cough, boss, keep your voice down, I'm discussing things with this young man here. It's him who wants to order."

Seemingly embarrassed by the mention of his tab, the adventurer awkwardly replied.

"That's right, it's my idea. I'll cover the bill for everything on this table today. Just bring the food."

Seeing Han Mu willing to pay, the scruffy boss had nothing more to say.

In no time, two more beers and a barbecue set meal with extra portions were served.

To ease the awkwardness, Uncle Kell immediately proposed a toast with Han Mu.

Han Mu did not refuse and chatted casually with him while drinking.

With the alcohol kicking in, the man slowly became talkative and showed signs of becoming drunk. Han Mu knew it was time to ask his questions.

"By the way, do you know anything about the Star Knight and the Fifth Generation Hero?"

"You mentioned them. Are you trying to use them as examples to teach me a lesson?""No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I just forgot some things about them and suddenly mentioned it."

"Oh, I see. You little brat, your memory must be really poor! You even forget things about the Knight of Stars."

"Maybe, can you tell me about the Knight of Stars then?"

"Well, sure. Speaking of the Knight of Stars, it was about two hundred years ago..."

According to this uncle's narration, the story of the Knight of Stars unfolded in front of Han Mu, presenting a somewhat tragic and heroic tale.
