Chapter 366: Chapter 3: Let’s Go, Great Adventurer

Feiyan City, Light Cathedral.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

The melodious sound of the bells echoed through the corridors of the cathedral and into the flower-filled hall.

In the spacious hall, guests were arriving one after another from various places, most of them appeared travel-worn, carrying a battle-hardened aura. Even though they weren’t carrying weapons or armor, the badges on their chests identified them as adventurers.

Today, a group of adventurers is holding a wedding here. The bride is Teresa, the Ice Sword of the renowned Wind Frost Adventure Team, and the groom is her teammate, Earth Splitting Mad Axe Udis.

They are two of the few Golden Level adventurers in Feiyan City, and their wedding certainly caused a stir in the city. Almost all the adventurers who had dealings with them came to witness this sacred event.

On a long bench in the hall, Sirius was sitting there.

For the past few years, he had been dwelling in Feiyan City, having discarded his noble identity, and spent his days shuttling between various underground cities, adventuring, earning gold coins, and living lavishly. He had completely turned into an adventurer.

After six years of hard work, he had made a small name for himself in the city. He had already advanced to the Bronze Level a long time ago and was currently striving to reach the Silver Level.

His level naturally brought him into contact with the Wind Frost Adventure Team, so he was invited to the wedding.

Unlike six years ago, when he was still a boy, he had now grown into a young man, more tall and sturdy, with muscles on his arms becoming more powerful. His face lost some of its youthful innocence and became more determined, and stubble grew on the corners of his mouth.

For Lynch, who stayed in the Wizard Tower, six years might just amount to a few sessions of meditation, but for mortals outside, it’s a significant part of their lives.

However, his character hadn’t changed much with the passage of time. Instead, due to a long period of undisciplined and carefree living, he had become more indulgent. Just looking at his sitting posture was enough to tell: slumped on the bench, crossing one leg over the other, with one hand resting on the backrest.

He looked at the Wind Frost Adventure Team welcoming the guests and said discontentedly, “What are they thinking, getting married so suddenly?”

Adventure and marriage are two completely opposite states; the former focuses on excitement, while the latter seeks stability.

Choosing the steady life of marriage naturally leads to peace, and the thrilling and exciting adventurous life of the past would undoubtedly come to an end without notice.

As a result, the vast majority of adventurers choose to retire from their adventurous life after marriage. Teresa did the same, announcing her decision to retire after the marriage alongside the wedding news.

Sirius scratched his head and said, “Why did they get married?”

Teresa’s decision was undoubtedly a blatant betrayal to him, for in his view, adventurers should pursue higher-level underground cities and higher-level adventurer ranks, fighting in the dungeons for life.

If it were those Black Iron Adventurers who could not make it, that would be understandable; returning early to live as ordinary people with no prospects is quite alright.

But Teresa was a Golden Level adventurer with the potential to advance to the Platinum Level or even higher.

How could she retire? How could she?

Sirius completely failed to understand.

“Tch~”

Triss pouted and said, “Do you think everyone treats adventure as everything? For most people, being an adventurer is merely a profession. No matter how excellent they are, they eventually have to return to life.”

“Teresa and Udis are already in their thirties. If they don’t get married now, are they going to have a wedding in the graveyard?”

Just like Sirius pursuing his adventurous life, Triss was still investigating the intelligence of Feiyan City’s ’Guardian,’ but unfortunately, she hadn’t made much progress.

With the adventurer status, she had met many big figures in Feiyan City over the past six years, including the actual ruler of Feiyan City, Greywell, and several rumored disciples of the Guardian, as well as the Holy Daughter of Light.

However, the Guardian specifically seemed like a hidden character. No matter how much Triss investigated, she couldn’t find any clues related to her.

Unable to do anything, Triss could only continue to lie low, hoping to access higher-level information after improving her adventurer level.

Fortunately, the Adventurer Guild offered Magic Stones as currency to attract Transcendents to develop underground cities here. Consequently, a market for transcendent trade had emerged in the city, offering the cultivation resources needed without delaying cultivation.

While cultivating and investigating, six years had passed, and Triss had not obtained any intelligence. Instead, she had turned into half an adventurer herself, now at the same level as Sirius.

Sirius said, “Please, anyone else would be fine, but Teresa and Udis are Golden Level adventurers. Don’t you think it’s a pity to give up like this? Can’t you see even Leggo is still striving in the underground city?”

Sirius pointed to a young figure sitting nearby.

This was naturally Lynch.

However, now he retained his original appearance, only different from the former delicate-skinned image of staying long in the Wizard Tower. Now, his skin was slightly rough and dark, with no special aura.

If his body had naturally grown without entering the Wizard World, it would have looked like this.

In recent years, he occasionally took quests from the Adventurer Guild when he had time, mainly to always keep an eye on whether adventurers were slacking off, whether the rules he established were operating normally, and whether any loopholes appeared, etc.

There is no perfect rule in the world. After any order operates for a long time, it is unavoidable to encounter some problems. Constant observation facilitates timely adjustments.

But his ’efforts’ were merely for fun, so his adventurer level naturally didn’t improve much, still remaining at the Black Iron Level, a novice.

Adventurers like Sirius at the Bronze Level were already big figures he looked up to at this level, also being a large ’support’ for him in the city.

Lynch said discontentedly, “I feel offended.”

“Haha… hahaha,”

Sirius scratched his hair, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that. I just think adventurers not making contributions in the underground city but running a tavern in the city to entertain guests, wiping tables every day, really…”

“It’s such a terrible life!”

Triss asked puzzledly, “Then what kind of life do you want to live?”

Sirius wiped his nose with the back of his hand confidently and said, “Of course, it’s a life full of excitement, exploring higher-level underground cities, digging out more powerful things, becoming a stronger adventurer, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or even higher…”

“Isn’t such a life more meaningful?”

He was full of ambitions.

“Ah!”

At that moment, a voice sounded, “You are all here!”

A priestess walked over.

She had bright yellow hair, wore a round and flat priest hat, and was enveloped in a pure white priest robe, holding a long golden tin rod in her hands.

It was Little Priest Hilia.

She ran over and invited everyone: “The wedding is about to begin; come to the front to watch the ceremony.”

“Come on, great adventurer!”
