Chapter 3 The best sword in the village

There once was such a group of people in the world.

They are unwilling to be bound by the country and the nobility, but they also want to resist crises from monsters, demi-humans, etc. and protect the safety of mankind.

So they formed the Adventurer's Guild. No matter your status, as long as you are willing to contribute, you can become an adventurer.

Many like-minded people have joined the Adventurer's Guild and become adventurers. Over the past thousand years, the power of the Adventurer's Guild is now comparable to that of any country. Of course, adventurers are not allowed to get involved in the affairs between human countries. This is an iron rule.

Every adventurer deserves respect, because they are always on the most dangerous front lines, experiencing brushes with death every day, their lives are threatened but they keep fighting, just for that little bit of protection in their hearts.

Therefore, adventurers will be respected by people no matter which country they are in.

Of course, Codya knew about the profession of adventurer. He even dreamed of becoming one when he was young. Unfortunately, he did not have the talent, so he could only return to the village where he was born and raised.

According to Codya, the levels of adventurers are divided into seven levels, from low to high:
Gray steel, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, gold, glory

Even the weakest Gray Steel-level adventurer can at least defeat a goblin alone.

In other words, if the young man in front of him was just the weakest Gray Steel-level adventurer among the adventurers, he would be of great help to Fenwen Village.

But why did Codya's face change?

Because, when he looked at Luo Qiu's shoulders, he did not see the adventurer's epaulettes that belonged to him.

Adventurer's epaulettes are a symbol of every adventurer's identity, and are also the easiest nameplate to distinguish adventurers of different levels.

Gray steel epaulettes, black iron epaulettes, bronze epaulettes, silver epaulettes, gold epaulettes, shining gold epaulettes, and glory cloaks, these are the symbols that adventurers from the gray steel level to the glory level can obtain.

And of course, there was nothing on Luo Qiu's shoulders. Although he was wearing 'Wild Wind Spirit Guardian', it was just a set of slim leather armor, and there were no props like epaulettes decorating his shoulders.

Codya could only think that this young man was just a "trainee adventurer" who aimed to become an adventurer.

There are too many so-called "intern adventurers" in every country, and there is no standard for distinction. Anyone can call himself an "intern adventurer". Therefore, some people with ulterior motives call themselves "intern adventurers" and go to some civilians' homes to cheat for food and drink. Although they are severely punished, there are still many such people. So now "intern adventurer" is almost becoming a derogatory term.

However, if the young man in front of him is really just an 'adventurer intern', then how do he explain the skills he just displayed?
Now Codya was really confused. He couldn't tell whether Luo Qiu was a truly powerful and capable adventurer, or an "intern adventurer" who came here to take advantage of the situation.

Luo Qiu, who had just arrived in another world, of course didn't know the twists and turns here. He called himself an adventurer just because he thought this profession should be a common profession in the other world?

"Did I guess wrong? There are no adventurers in this world?" Looking at the old man who had fallen silent in front of him, Luo Qiu seemed calm, but he was actually constantly muttering in his heart.

"Mr. Adventurer?"

What made Luo Qiu feel relieved was the ecstatic expressions on the faces of several honest-looking middle-aged men standing next to Codya.

"Adventurer, please save us!"

"Yes, Mr. Adventurer, our entire village has not had a good sleep for several days because of these goblins!"

"Adventurer, please help us. The food rations in our village won't last much longer!"

There were only some voices of desperate pleas.

These villagers have only left the village a few times in their lives, and their understanding of adventurers is not as deep as that of the village chief. In their opinion, adventurers are heroes with great power.

After all, many of the legends of heroes in this world originated from adventurers.

A mysterious young man suddenly appeared in the village and claimed to be an adventurer. The villagers subconsciously regarded Luo Qiu as their savior.

"I knew it. If it were a different world, there would definitely be adventurers." Luo Qiu gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness in his heart.

Then, he said seriously: "I saw from a distance that this place was surrounded by goblins, so I rushed over immediately. Don't worry, leave these goblins to me." As soon as Luo Qiu said this, happy expressions appeared on the faces of the surrounding villagers, and some young people who had been suffering for a long time also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the adventurer taking action, they don't need to risk their lives. This is what those young people thought.

"Brother, where are your adventurer's epaulettes?"

Luo Qiu looked at the girl who asked this question, but he was constantly thinking in his heart.

Adventurer's epaulettes? It should be something that proves the identity of an adventurer. No wonder that old man looked at me with a strange look...

Luo Qiu, who was quick-witted, figured out a lot of things in an instant.

Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said to the girl: "My shoulder strap was damaged and was taken back for repair."

So that's it! Kodya shouted in his heart.

I was so stupid as to doubt a strong man who could use the "multi-acceleration" fighting skill or the "distance transmission" magic. It is very likely that an adventurer of this level would accidentally damage the adventurer's epaulettes when fighting with monsters. I am really old and didn't even think of such a small thing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adventurer, I was rude just now. I am Codya, the mayor of Fenwen Village."

Kodea quickly bowed and apologized for his rudeness.

"Village chief, there's no need to do this." Luo Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and helped up the old man who wanted to bow.

Having an old man in his sixties or seventies bow and apologize to him would have a huge impact on Luo Qiu's plan to create a "perfect and powerful adventurer".

"No, you must apologize for neglecting your guests."

Although Codya was moved by the young man's magnanimity, he still stubbornly wanted to bend down. However, with Luo Qiu's support, his little wish was doomed to fail.

After trying several times without success, Codya had to give up.

"What a good man." Codya admired in his heart.

Luo Qiu had no idea that he had been given a good guy card by the old village chief.

"Village Chief, wait a moment. I'll go deal with those annoying guys first."

Seeing that Codya finally stopped bending down, Luo Qiu made a prompt decision and planned to deal with a few goblins first.

"Adventurer, please wait a moment."

Codya called out to Luo Qiu.

"Is there a problem?"

"Mr. Adventurer, don't you need a weapon?"

"Weapons?" Luo Qiu stopped talking.

In his heart, Luo Qiu almost laughed. A level 100 person like him needed weapons to deal with a few goblins? In Burning God Realm, monsters of this level could be crushed to death with one foot even if they were naked.

However, Luo Qiu's hesitation made Codya mistakenly believe that he came in a hurry and did not bring any weapons, so he ordered a villager: "Go to my house and get the best sword in our village."

"The best sword in the whole…in the whole village?"

Luo Qiu was stunned.
