Chapter 208

"This is …"

Sean's gaze fell on Vivian's hand that was stretched out towards him, and he looked at the thing lying in her palm with a stunned expression.

It was a pitch-black medal that looked like an iron badge lying quietly in Vivian's palm.

There was a sword and a ball of flame engraved on the medal.

It was the emblem of the Adventurers Guild, a sign that represented swords and magic.

Shien finally understood.

"This is the Adventurer's Medal, right?"

That's right. It was the Adventurer's Medal, the proof of identity that the Adventurers Guild used to award true adventurers.

Vivian took out the medal that the Adventurers Guild awarded to the lowest level adventurers — the Black Iron First Class Medal.

Only with this medal could one be considered an official adventurer.

Even though it was only the lowest level of a first class adventurer.

"This belongs to you," Vivian said. Vivian said, "I know that your level is definitely much higher than that of a level 1 adventurer. However, you have just passed the assessment, so you can only receive the Black Iron Level 1 Beginner Medal. If you want to advance, you will have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to conduct a magic test to confirm your level.

Vivian took Shien's hand and passed the medal to him.

Sean subconsciously took the medal, and then realized what was going on.

"You mean, I've passed the adventurer's assessment?"

Shien looked at Vivian in surprise.

"Are you surprised?" Vivian laughed and said, "Don't forget that the assessment period for new adventurers is a month, and like I said, it's been about a month since we met, right?"

This meant that Shien's assessment period was over.

"Originally, this medal should only be given to you after we return to Lamegion. But since you intend to stay in the royal capital for a month, we can't let you wait for a month," Vivian said softly. "Therefore, with my recommendation and Lily's approval, the Adventurer's Guild headquarters in the capital has decided to award you the Adventurer's Medal." Vivian said softly.

Vivian brought the medal back and handed it to Shien.

"Is this alright?" Shien held the medal and said with some embarrassment, "Strictly speaking, I've only done one mission with you. Isn't it too hasty to let me pass the assessment?"

Although it was a little embarrassing to say it, Sean had really forgotten that he needed to be assessed.

In this month, the only adventure that Sean had taken was the trip to Mount Mangal. Other than that, he hid on the third floor of the guild to read books, or followed the escort team all the way to the king's city. This really made him feel that the medal in his hand was a bit of a hot potato.

But Vivian shook her head.

"That's not right." Vivian said, "Don't forget, this escort mission is also an adventure for our party. It's an official mission that the president personally entrusted to us."

"This quest should be at least Platinum rank, or even Secret-Silver rank."

"And you participated in this mission during the assessment period. Not only did you follow, but you also became the main force and the biggest contributor, resolving this mission.

"Let me ask you, how can we not let such an adventurer pass the assessment?"

Vivian smiled sweetly and said slowly.

"Of course, adventurers don't just need strength and achievements. They also need sufficient knowledge and experience. You're seriously lacking in the latter, but it's not as hard to replace as strength and achievements. Among adventurers, there are people who don't even know how to dissect a low-level monster, but they have companions who can make up for this weakness. They don't need to do it themselves. You can be like them and form a team with knowledgeable and experienced companions in the future."

Hearing Vivian's words, Shien finally understood.

"I'm considered independent now, right?"

Shien held the Adventurer's Medal in his hand and asked Vivian.

"Yes." Vivian nodded, and said in a gentle voice, "Right now, you can accept missions on your own, or join someone else's team. You can even establish your own team and recruit members. You can decide what you want to do."

"I see …" Shien was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "Then I can officially leave the team when we return to Lamigion, right?"

"In theory." Vivian looked at Shien and revealed a meaningful expression. "The prerequisite is that someone wants you to leave, or you want to leave."

After leaving such words, Vivian turned around and left.

Only Shien was left. He stared blankly at Vivian for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Does this Vivian have a hidden black-bellied side?"

Shien had a feeling that Vivian was teasing him, or perhaps she knew what was going to happen next.

"I didn't expect you to be like this, Vivian."

Shien could only smile and look at the Black Iron Medal in his hand.

Then, he grinned.

"From now on, I'm also a person with status."

After saying that, Sean put away the medal, and hummed a song in a more relaxed and cheerful mood than when he came out of the bathhouse, and went to his room.

…

The next morning.

Today, Shien woke up early in the morning.

Everyone in Vivian's team woke up early. Apart from Ai Yi, who was still sleeping and could not be woken up, the rest were gathered together for breakfast.

As the only male in the team, Shien ate faster than anyone else.

Everyone looked at Shien, who was wolfing down his food, and suddenly felt full. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Eat slowly, Mr. Shien." Merica could not help but say, "Be careful not to choke."

"What?" Tierre also frowned and said, "Do you have something urgent?"

Hearing this, Shien swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded.

"I'm going to the underground magic library in the palace today, so I can't wait." Shien said, "What about you guys? Do you have any plans? "

"Yes." Vivian replied to Shien with a smile, "We plan to go to the Adventurers Guild to have a look. If there is a suitable commission, we will probably resume our adventure activities in the near future."

"Yes … Yes …" Lucia also nodded and said softly, "After all, there are too many things to buy in the royal capital, and the expenses are a little high …"

The implication was that they had to find a way to make money.

Shien's eating movement suddenly stopped.

Because, he also remembered this cruel thing.

"… I'm also almost out of money."

Shien, who did not have many gold coins left, had a sullen expression.

Should he go on a mission with Vivian and the others and make some money first?

It was a little difficult …
