Chapter 59: Arch-Arachnid, Diamond-Ranked
"Go follow that king to the Blood Realm," Anisha said.
"Yes, my queen." Natasha nodded.
A few days passed, and Ian and Natasha made their way to the territory of the dark race Shamans to use their teleportation formation. It was Natasha who paid the teleportation fee with the swipe of his black credit card.
Thanks to the teleportation formation, they appeared at the junction of the Forest of Death and the Blood Realm in the blink of an eye. Following that, they rushed to the Barakus City, a small city that most mercenaries and visitors of the Blood Realm stop by. The Barakus was small but prosperous, as it was the city where trade with outsiders mostly took place.
Several organizations in Barakus City had significantly boosted the growth of their economy. First, the Barakus Adventurer’s Guild. This Adventurer’s guild is a hub of tasks and missions. The Residents of the Blood Realm would post tasks from F-rank to S-rank from time to time. Not only the residents, soldiers, all walks of life, and even the Vampire Council send task scrolls every month.
Why would the vampire council need to issue tasks in the Adventurer’s Guild when they had their own army to do tasks for them? Because it’s a lot cheaper and more efficient. After all, the army cannot be stationed and deployed casually. The cost to maintain the army active was astronomical and usually, and they are usually only deployed in wartime.
There are too many mouths to feed and potions to consume. After all, every soldier’s belly is different depending on their strength. Of course, the Vampire Council still issues those truly important tasks to the soldiers or some secret tasks, promotional tasks, etc...
The Adventurers are ranked from iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond as the highest rank. Anyone can become an adventurer regardless of race. Even Adventurer werewolves could enter the Blood Realm if they were registered adventurers. Of course, if they cause trouble, it’s easy to identify them, and the punishment is to revoke their license as an Adventurer. This was enough to prevent malicious intentions and prevent the exploitation of the adventurer profession.
Aside from the Adventurer’s Guild, there is also the second most popular force with various branches in the Curtained Imperium, which was none other than the Assassin’s Vow. The Assassin’s Vow, like the Adventurer’s Guild, receives issued tasks but only related to assassination. The remuneration of the tasks depends on the strength of the target, the difficulty of execution, and even the strength of the figures around the target, if applicable.
