The next day, the four heroes and their disguised soldiers continued their search with renewed focus.
They asked around the markets and streets again, this time changing their questions to look for a man with a wife who had recently given birth and a young daughter.
The first merchant they approached — an old man selling fruits — nodded immediately.
"Yes, I know them," he said. "They came here a few months ago. The woman gave birth not long ago. You can find the man at the Adventurers Guild most days. He works there."
The heroes exchanged quick glances, their eyes lighting up with dark excitement. They thanked the merchant and immediately headed toward the guild, pulling their hoods and scarves higher to cover their faces so no one would recognize them.
They entered the Adventurers Guild quietly, keeping to the edges of the busy lobby and looking around carefully.
The Guild Master, the elegant silver-haired elf, noticed the group of "travelers" and walked over with a polite but cautious smile.
"Welcome. Who are you looking for?"
The golden-haired hero leader quickly lied, keeping his voice casual.
"We came to register as adventurers."
The Guild Master nodded and gestured toward the testing orb on the counter.
"Very well. Let's start with the verification."
The first one to step forward was a woman among the heroes — a tall, graceful figure with sharp eyes. She placed her hand on the orb.
The orb glowed brightly, and the information appeared in glowing letters for everyone to see:
Rank: SS
Ability: Archery
Details: She can create a bow and arrows from wind magic. Every shot is guaranteed to hit the target. She can fire up to 100 powerful arrows in a single volley with perfect accuracy.
The entire guild hall fell into stunned silence.
Then the lobby erupted into loud discussion.
"SS-rank… on her first registration?!"
"That archery ability is insane — 100 arrows at once, all hitting their mark?"
"She could wipe out an entire army from a distance without missing a single shot!"
"I've never seen an ability like that before…"
The adventurers were speechless, staring at the woman with a mix of awe and wariness. Even the Guild Master looked impressed, though his eyes held a hint of caution.
The heroes kept their faces hidden, but inside, the leader smiled coldly.
They had successfully entered the guild without raising suspicion… and now they were one step closer to finding Luo Feng and his family.
