Armipotent

Roman explained the situation in Karian, which surprised Tang Shaoyang. Karian was different from the other worlds he knew so far, where only one faction ruled over. Karian had multiple factions, over twenty factions, in fact. Karian Adventurer Guild was one of the biggest factions, the top five factions in Karian.

The world was ruled by different factions, coexisting to help each other. Of course, while some factions worked together, there were some factions that were hostile to each other. It was the same as what was happening on Earth right now, where multiple factions ruled different regions. The difference was that Karian Adventurer Guild had multiple access to nine different worlds.

The guild set up the branches between the nine worlds and grew so big, and yet, the guild still was still weaker compared to the number one and number two powerhouses in Karian, The Holy Kingdom, and the Varuman Empire. The other two factions that were on the same level as the Karian Adventurer Guild were the Mistovel Family and The Karigan Family. Both families were independent factions, but their number was small.

The Mistovel Family was known for their dragon magic and the fact they were dragon's descendants, which made them able to use Dragon Tongue. Meanwhile, the Karigan Family was known for their Martial Arts, and two of the Karigan Family were the top powerhouse in Karian, the Sword God and the Martial God.

Roman was so excited to tell the tale of the Karian to Tang Shaoyang as they headed toward the Karian Adventurer Guild quarter in the city. Since Tang Shaoyang entered the territory with Lulu and Roman, no one questioned Tang Shaoyang's identity even though he looked foreign.

"We have been telling you about our world; why don't you share about your world?" Lulu squinted her eyes at Tang Shaoyang. During the journey, she had been keeping a watch on Tang Shaoyang, especially those purple eyes. She felt those eyes were similar to the ones that belonged to her brother, with just a color difference. Her brother, who inherited more dragon traits, having golden dragon eyes, made her brother the genius of the Mistovel Family. She sensed something similar, but there was a mixed malice energy that confused her.

"My world? There's nothing special about my world. In fact, this is my world's first dimensional tower." Tang Shaoyang told the truth, but he knew that these two would not believe him. They would believe more that he was hiding something from them, which was why he replied so.

Sure enough, Roman and Lulu did not believe him even though that was the truth. It could be seen from their expression. Roman let out a sigh. "While I am inviting you to our territory, our Guild Master wants to meet you. He wants to determine that you are not a threat to the Karian Adventurer Guild."

"Tch, he does not even tell us his name." Lulu did not mind showing her displeasure. She had arrived back in the city, so there was nothing to be afraid of. The city was her turf.

"I understand." Tang Shaoyang ignored the sulking young lady and nodded in agreement toward Roman, showing no aggressiveness to the two compared to their first meeting. He never intended to kill the two adventurers, as his aim was to get to another starter city to avoid the Divine Church.

'Not just that. It seems I have to hide my identity here as well. That Holy Kingdom sounds suspicious. They might be related to the Divine Church, or they might have a connection to the Divine Church.'

Tang Shaoyang's suspicion was not groundless as he found out that he was being hunted down because of Antorias. He heard it directly from Gungnir's mouth that they got information about him from Antorias. Even Antorias, who was known as the God of the Undead, had a connection to the Divine Church, so he could not be careless if he did not want to get hunted again by those God Ranks.

They arrived at the Karian Adventurer Guild quarter. Of course, how Karian's territory filled with buildings showed the disparity of power between his world and the other worlds. He had not visited the Giteron Dynasty, the Federation of Allurion, and the Divine Church, but there should not be that much difference.

Adventurer Guild was not a foreign thing to Tang Shaoyang. This would be his third time encountering an adventurer guild. As he entered the quarter, it seemed the adventurer guild had a similarity. The first floor was a typical open bar where the adventurers gathered and had a drink. He could see the quest board to the right side and the counter bar with a female attendant behind it.

The bustling first floor was not something new for Tang Shaoyang. The other adventurers greeted Roman and Lulu. He understood why the other adventurers were being respectful to Lulu. The woman came from a prestigious family, but it seemed Roman was quite a famous adventurer as well, with how the other adventurers respected him.

Roman showed a proud expression toward Tang Shaoyang, just like a puppy showed off to its master. "I am one of twenty S Rank adventurers that join the guild in this tower."

"Good boy." Tang Shaoyang commended, causing Roman to freeze while Lulu let out a chuckle.

Roman turned around and led the way without saying anything anymore. He realized there was nothing for him to show off, not especially when he was defeated by the unknown man. He picked his pace as he did not want the other adventurers to know that he was defeated by Tang Shaoyang.

The Guild Master's office was on the topmost floor, the fifth floor. Once they reached the door, Roman gestured toward Tang Shaoyang to enter the room alone. "I have told everything what I know about you to my Guild Master."

Tang Shaoyang shrugged because Roman actually knew nothing about him. There was nothing to be worried about. He opened the door and entered the room. By the time he closed the door, he had realized how small the room was for a Guild Master.

A table and a chair before the window, and another set of couches and a table in front of the work table. An old man sat behind the work table, caressing his white beard while having his eyes closed. The old man did not say anything as he kept caressing his beard. Tang Shaoyang shrugged and sat on the couch.

"Who told you to sit?" The old man's voice rang in the room.
