"Greetings to the three golden masters, my name is Leon." Alex's second clone introduces himself, after Zeff introduces the three golden masters to him.
"Hahahaha, don't mention that. There will soon be four gold-level adventurers in the city." Big Three laughed dismissing the call of the three golden masters.
"That's right Leon, I didn't think you could hide your power from the measuring stone." Zeff also talked about this topic.
Hearing that, Alex just smiled wryly then shook his head. "I'm sorry Mr. Zeff."
"It's okay. There were indeed some strong people who were careful not to stand out. Just like you, they use an artifact that can deceive the judgment of a measuring stone." Zeff didn't mind that.
Alex is getting helpless. It was not that he wanted to deceive the measuring stone, even back then he saw the measuring stone unable to judge the existence of his points, before the displayed value turned into five thousand.
He felt that there was something inside him, which could freely determine the value the measuring stone would display.
"Based on the level of power in this city, adventurers who can realize magic will be ranked gold. Do you want to raise your rank or still not show your true strength?" Continue Zeff.
"Since many already know about it, I don't care if my rank is improved." Alex let them misunderstand.
Zeff asks for the silver badge Alex holds. Zeff said that after they discussed about the assault on the genius alchemist of the Blood Star Church, he would hand over Alex's badge to the adventurer guild's headquarters to upgrade.
"Let's go back to the main topic. How are our plans to attack that genius alchemist's hideout?" Christopher switched their conversation.
"Of course we attack right now. I will be the main attacker and stand at the very front!" Shouted Big Three.
Alex smiled wryly at the Big Three's behavior. Although its body is large, it is inversely proportional to its brain, so there may be a lot of empty space in its skull.
When he saw the others, Alex was quite amazed at their indifference. It seemed like they had gotten used to the stupidity displayed by the Big Three.
"What about you? Do you think the Blood Star Church has realized that their two gray disciples were captured?" Mina asked Jean.
"I'm sure not. The deadline for us to hand over the kidnapped child is the day after tomorrow. If in two days we don't send a number of children, someone will come to the slum to ask about the delay in delivery." Jean shook her head.
Others understood Jean's meaning, other than the Big Three. Blood Star Church members rarely communicated between different groups. In addition to being careful that their movements are not detected, it can also minimize the identity of other members if one of their members is caught and interrogated.
But because of that, Alex and the others in the room can prepare themselves, and attack their hiding place suddenly.
"In addition to genius alchemists, I also know some important people who are members of the Blood Star Church, or help them with some rewards." Jean took it seriously.
"Wait, don't mention it first. Our main mission right now is to kill the genius alchemist to prevent something bad from happening." Sela Zeff from the side.
"Why Zeff? I will kill all the members of the Blood Star Church. Hey you, quickly mention their names!" Big Three's shout was dissatisfied, as Zeff cut through Jean's explanation.
Alex follows the others to ignore the Big Three. They looked towards Zeff to wait for his explanation.
The others nodded in understanding Zeff's explanation, other than Big Three. If the black deacon made a move, none of them could match him, even though they joined forces to fight him together.
"I will advance against the black deacon, you need not....."
"Silence fool!" Mina snapped at Big Three from the side and hit her back hard.
"Just listen to what we're talking about and don't talk until the plan is complete. Do you want to get fired by the guild master and not get any more gold coins?" Mina's patience is over seeing the stupidity shown by the Big Three.
"I-I'm sorry Mina. I'm sorry Zeff." Big Three hurriedly apologized after hearing Mina's threat. Other than his strength, he had no other skills to make money.
Of course it's just a false threat. A silver-level adventurer and above was already registered at the adventurers guild's headquarters. Aside from committing crimes like criminal acts, joining the Blood Star Church, or other forbidden things, the status of an adventurer could not be eliminated easily.
"It doesn't have to be that rough with Mina." Zeff calms Mina down.
"I've contacted the headquarters and immediately got a good reply. Fortunately, a former The Number was visiting the adventurer guild's headquarters." Continue Zeff.
Alex observed that the three people in front of him were holding their breaths simultaneously. Although they became tense, their faces showed expressions anticipating something after hearing Zeff's remark.
"What is The Number?" Ask Alex.
"The Number are the nine strongest of all adventurers in the world. They were the pinnacle of the entire adamantium adventurer, one could say they were the pinnacle of this world." Christopher explained with a burning spirit in both eyes.
Alex is surprised to see Christopher's change in attitude. From the beginning, Christopher seemed a little quiet and only uttered a few words that could be counted on the fingers.
'It seems he intends to put his name as a The Number one day.' Think Leon.
"So will that ex-The Number come here?" Alex turned his eyes towards Zeff.
"Unfortunately no. In the next three days, the headquarters will send two Mithril adventurers from another branch, with the help of teleportation magic from the former The Number." Zeff explained the help they would receive from the guild headquarters.
"Why didn't he come alone? Wouldn't the matter be quickly resolved by its existence?" Christopher's confused.
Hearing Christopher's question, Zeff sighed sadly. "Perhaps because I'm nearing the end, I understand a little of the former The Number's thinking."
"Let's imagine if he's thousands of years old, he's got to take care of trivia versus his great power. After all, we can be considered as little children to him. If he takes care of all the problems that children have, how can children develop and face a problem when he is not there?" Zeff is a little sad.
He also experienced that feeling. At his age of close to five hundred years, he sensed that soon he would be fused with the ground.
He often noticed the young talents in the city of Xyras, and forged them into a powerful shield that could protect the city in the future.
