The day after his examination, Alros when to the Adventure Guild with an intent. As he reached the counter, he quickly asked, "Are there good places to travel too? Preferably with Adventure Guild branch being nearby,"

"Oh, you are planning to leave the city?" the receptionist asked. When Alros asked her for other branches of Adventure Guild along with the best place for rookies like him to travel, she quickly connect the dots.

"Yes, I become and adventurer because I want to travel all over the world with as little restrictions as possible. Gaining money from all that is just a bonus," Alros said with an easy going grin.

"Hhmm, in that case, do you want to remain in Astor Kingdom or go somewhere else?" she asked. Alros put his hand under his chin, pretending to be thinking about it even though he already made his decision weeks ago.

"Somewhere else. I would like to travel beyond the kingdom," he said though his main reasoning is not that, 'I don't want to stay at a kingdom with a lot of people that can threaten me,'.

While he only met C-rank in Suren City, he knew and could some what sense the presence of a more powerful combatant, likely at B-rank.

Not to mention, while the person might be the only B-rank in the city, they are not the only one in the Astor Kingdom. From what he heard, every city has a B-rank overseeing it, with multiple B-ranks being present at the capital.

Not to mention, there are some B-rank Adventurers in the kingdom. And that is not all. While he is not sure, it is likely the kingdom also has an A-rank combatant, likely at the capital city but he would not take such chances.

To ensure his safety, he decide to go to a smaller kingdom, preferably one bordering a Mana Zone. There should be Adventure Guild Branch there and he would be able to gain mana by staying inside the Mana Zone, just like he did inside the Lunos Forest.

"If that is the case, the Nation of Betrum will be good for you. It bordered Astor Kingdom and there is a peace treaties between the two nations, so it is easy to travel there, especially as an adventurer.

While the capital did not have an Adventure Guild Branch, a city bordering the Zell Forest has one. Oh, I should explain about Zell Forest. Zell Forest is nicknamed Forest of Bug because all of it's monsters are bugs of large sizes.

While it is not a popular place by any means, compared to other adventurer's hotspots, it did not lack adventurers either. After all, the carapace of the monsters there plus threads and poisons obtained from the monsters worth a lot of golds, and is something that is regulated by the Bertrum Nations.

So, it is easy to buy such things there, which will be more expensive elsewhere.

There is other places, like the Marshes of Torim, where the Torim Kingdom is located, and the Hexun Caverns, inside the Hex Duchy, but I will not recommend such places. One, because the relation between Astor Kingdom and them are not good.

They are not bad right now but there have been some bad blood between the nations. Then, the fact such places is hard for a D-rank adventurers to explore. While the outer edge will be safer, it will still be hard for even a group of veteran D-ranks to maintain their lives there, so I do not recommend it for you," Alros nodded, putting it aside for now.

He will follow the advise and head to Bertrum Nation first.

Afterwards, well, he would head to the other two places, which should be suitable for him, not to mention strength can be considered equal to a B-ranks or at least a powerful C-rank.

Not to mention, new kind of monsters will be found at the three places, so he is very interested in entering them.

However, while he wanted to leave the city, he hit a road bump, namely he did not know the direction. Thankfully, the Adventure Guild help him in that one.

"There is a caravan asking for escorts. They offer travel to the border city at the border of Bertrum-Astor, so you can accept the request. Plus, you will receive payment as well,"

And that is his second problem. Money.

He obtained a lot from the loot during his night attack. But suddenly obtaining a lot of money is practically put the word suspicious on him. So, he can not use them, only able to use them in small amount, at least in Suren City.

For now, he should use the time before the agreed date, which is in 2 more weeks, by taking missions and getting as much money as possible.

So begin days of taking missions and getting as many monsters in his system space. After all, getting more hobgoblins would increase his forces by a lot compared to just getting goblins, wolves and slimes.

"To think I will find bears as well," Alros remarked, looking at the brown beast under his feet. He had never expected to see one. After all, while he knew of their presence, he never see one until today.

"You will make a fine addition to my collection," use of Subdue turned the beast into a loyal monster, ready to do his bidding.

"This should be enough," he exclaimed, looking at the amount of food item he had. While he could buy some from the system space, he prefer to buy it by himself.

With that said, he still has 2 more days. A trip to the city's Underworld would be great.

"Looks like the damage is still there,"

"Yeah. After all, this attack killed a lot of enforcers, and powerful ones at that. So, there is more thugs and thieves causing trouble to all but the most powerful business,"

Alros has a wry smile on his face, hearing it. He could have never thought his attack on the Underworld would still be talked by the people there.

Thankfully, Illusion and Disguise allow him to remain undetected as long as he play it safe. But for now, he should get the stuff he had been looking for.

"Poison, check. Provision, check. Spear, check. Books, check. Leather armor, check. Clothing, check.

That should be all. I am good to go," he said to himself, doing one last check at the morning the day before his travel to the Betrum Nation.

"I wonder what kind of interesting monsters I will find there,"
