OVERLORD- CH-71. Beyond Mastery

"Please advise me."

He doesn't look very healthy. He's a little bald, with dark circles under his eyes, which makes one wonder whether he slept well yesterday.

"And this is the president of the Magicians' Guild in Kelmais City."

This was a man with a very average physique, small eyes, and a slightly short stature. Aya nodded to him.

"And this is someone you should already know. She is the captain of the Mithril-level adventurer team, Miss Monica."

"Good afternoon." Monica greeted Aya with a smile.

Monica felt very relieved and happy because she saw Jasmine take the initiative to wash the borrowed robe in the morning.

"The other is the representative of the Mithril-class team Sabretooth, Mr. Moros." Said the guild president, "The Sabretooth Squad was previously loaned out to the capital to carry out a mission, and they just got back this morning."

The man looked very handsome, with a mithril metal plate hanging around his neck. The equipment on his body was nothing impressive in Aya's eyes, but it was much better than those bronze and iron medal adventurers in the city.

"Platinum level?" The adventurer looked at Levi's nameplate with a puzzled look, "I don't remember there being a platinum-level adventurer in the city."

There are only two Mithril-level adventurer teams in Kelmais City, and there are more Platinum-level teams, but their numbers are very limited. The man named Moros had some understanding of these individuals.

There was no one like the young man in front of him among that group of platinum-level adventurers. If he had an ordinary face, Moros might have mistaken him, but based on Levi's appearance, if he had seen him before, he would have remembered.

"Mr. Levi is a newly promoted adventurer. He became a platinum-level adventurer at an extremely rapid pace, but that was only until yesterday." President Randy said.

"Until yesterday?"

"Yes, because of yesterday's incident, Mr. Levi has officially been promoted to the Orichalcum level." The president said, "This matter has been fully recognized, and the nameplate will be awarded today."

"What! Orichalcum level? Wait a minute, jumping from platinum to orichalcum? Can I ask what feat he accomplished?"

The question sounded a bit hostile, but it was completely understandable. His team had been stuck at the Mithril level for two years and had been unable to advance. Naturally, they'd feel resentful when someone jumped ahead.

"We brought back the body and head of the wanted criminal 'Phantom' Michael, rescued the kidnapped Duke's daughter, and killed the 'Crazy Thief' Hans who attacked the Duke's Mansion last night." The president responded.

"Haah." Moros took a breath. This was indeed an admirable achievement. Michael and Hans were both notorious thieves in the Dragon Kingdom, and both had the strength equivalent to that of a bronze-level adventurer.

"In addition, we resolved the incident that occurred in the city last night."

"What about the hotel burning down?" Moros inquired.

"You are very well-informed."

"Because I heard people discussing it as soon as I entered the city."

"Well." Monica interrupted at this time, "Although it's very embarrassing for me, that monster easily defeated our entire team."

"We've defeated monsters with a difficulty of 65 before, but that monster left us completely defenseless. I guess it's probably at least 80 difficulty."

"80 difficulty? Doesn't that mean there is..."

"That's right, the steel grade, which is the level of 'Crystal Tears'." President Randy said.

"That's really shocking." After hearing this, Moros had no choice but to admit defeat. His team was slightly weaker than Moon Shadow's. If Moon Shadow acknowledged that man's strength, he had nothing more to say.

"Actually, I am somewhat dissatisfied with the awarding of the 'Orichalcum' medal." Lena said.

"Even the Duchess has already said that it's okay to go directly to 'Steel'."

"Well, there are many other problems with awarding the Stainless Steel Medal. Although there is no issue with strength and achievements, but..." This accusation made President Randy feel a little helpless and embarrassed.

Lena's dissatisfaction was essentially Duchess Operan's dissatisfaction, and he could understand that.

"Well." Mayor Pasimi asked cautiously while wiping his sweat, "Compared to these, let's talk about more important topics."

Although he was the mayor, his power wasn't significant due to the pressure from the lord's mansion one level higher in the city. Perhaps because of this, he lacked the confidence to speak.

Originally, he was just a minor noble selected by Operan, with little courage and ability. Sitting in the position of mayor, he was essentially responsible for handing over all power to the lord.

"Oh, okay." President Randy said, feeling a bit grateful to the mayor for helping him out.

Because she was not interested in the content of these people's conversation, Aya kept chatting with the old woman next to her.

Born and raised in the Theocracy, studied magic in the Empire, came to the Dragon Kingdom to preach, and once worked in the kingdom's temple, the old woman had a very rich life experience.

"If you have the chance, please come to visit my temple. The nuns there will definitely be very happy." It seemed that Old Sister Charlotte also liked this polite and elegant young man very much. After making such an agreement with her, the two turned their attention to the president.

After looking around, President Randy stated the purpose of calling everyone together today.

"First, I want to discuss with you the follow-up of what happened last night, and then discuss the plan to attack and eliminate the Black Snake thieves."

"Well, let's sort out the situation first." Guild President Randy said. This part was for the mayor, the chief priest, Miss Lena, and others to understand the situation.

"Last night, a fire broke out at the 'Gin Wine' Inn in the outer city of my city."

'Gin' is the name of the hotel. Of course, it also serves as a pub. It is a relatively simple hotel in the city, but the price is cheap. The taste of the wine is rough, but very strong. For that price, the quality is very good.

For this reason, the inn is very popular with low-level adventurers.

"The fire started on the third floor. The innkeeper who lived on the third floor died on the spot. There were also casualties in the single rooms on the same floor. Then, noticing the fire, most of the passengers who were staying in the large bunk beds on the second floor escaped."

It's a bit ironic that I spent a higher price to live in a single room on the third floor with a good environment, but it turned out to be more difficult to escape, leading to unexpected events.

"This is one of the few wooden buildings in the city." Monica exclaimed.

The buildings in the inner city of Kelmais are all made of stone, while the outer city is a mixture of new stone buildings and old wooden buildings.

In recent years, with the development of the city and the increase in adventurers, more and more hotels have been built, and the old wooden hotels have been closed one by one.

Moon Shadow, now at the Mithril level, rents a house, but they also lived in a small hotel at the beginning, so they can't help feeling a little nostalgic.

"It was because of the wooden buildings that the fire was so severe." The guild leader continued, "Fortunately, most of the adventurers escaped..."

Next, he explained what happened next in chronological order, including the hellhound, the slime monster, and the succubus.

"Is there such a strong slime?" Said Moros.

"If I hadn't fought it myself, I would have found it hard to believe. To be honest, I think the difficulty level of 80 is a low estimate." Monica said. She still remembered the feeling of being severely paralyzed by the slime.

"Slime King?"

For general monster species, the title of king means they are very strong. In comparison, only the king of humans is a weakling.

"Slime King, not yet." Aya said.
