After his momentary pause, Arthur entered the guild and heard the normal chaos inside.
Similar to the one in Roran town, the Adventurers guild here was also divided into three main sections.
First was the Job section, where one could take up quests and get their rewards. The second was the tavern area, where adventurers rested as well as discussed. This was also where most of the parties were formed when there was a need.
Then there was the third area which was mostly restricted to the guild staff and had the administrative area. It also included the Guild Master's office and the Guild's vault.
'Don't think I'll be able to meet the guild master this time.' Arthur thought to himself.
But that wasn't his goal and he went to the job section. He stood in the queue and waited for his turn to come.
"Welcome, are you new here?" The staff member sitting behind the desk seemed to have recognized.
"Yes, I'm new in the city," Arthur said before showing him the ID card.
"Hmm, Rank F Adventurer Arthur from Roran Town. Guess this is your first time here. Not many Rank F's here." The staff member checked. "Oh wait, you're actually due for a promotion." He said after using the magical tool.
It showed that Arthur had done multiple missions before and their details as well.
"Huh? I am?" Arthur furrowed his brows.
He was a bit confused by this, as he was very sure there was no way he had done enough jobs to consider it enough for a rank promotion. While Arthur might have done more bounties than other players as of now, it was still half of what would be needed.
After all, promotion was a matter of numbers too. As such, Arthur thought that he would get promoted later once he did a few more jobs.
"They didn't tell you?" The staff member asked in confusion. "It says here you've done a major mission that involved the protection of a town. You got rid of… An entire Bandit group and an Orc Tribe?!" the more the man checked the more he was surprised.
"Yeah, but I did have the assistance of the Guard Captain." Arthur replied.
"Regardless, of it you are due for a promotion." The man said and inserted his card into the magical device.
~humm~
The device shone for a moment before the card was ejected.
"Here you go. As of now, you are officially a Rank E Adventurer." The Staff member spoke.
~DING~

Name: Arthur
Adventurer Rank: E

The notification popped up, confirming it for Arthur.
He thought a bit more about it and realized a flaw in it all.
'I didn't talk to the staff at the guild before leaving… I only talked to Caleb… Damn, seems like I missed it because of that.' Arthur now understood.
The mission to save the town from Dozla and his group as well as the eradication of the Trunel Orcs on the side was more than enough to warrant a promotion for Arthur. In fact, considering the fact that many more bounties would be placed on the Trunel Orcs in the future, and Arthur had just removed their entire tribe, it was basically the same as him completing all those quests before they even existed.
The only one where the warning would matter was the Grogal, as it was a strong beast.
'If I recall, it can be anywhere between level 34 to 38.' Arthur remembered.
The Grogal was a recurrent beast and would appear from time to time. Once it was hunted though, there would be a cool down period before it would respawn.
'Finding the Grogal is the main issue though… it is one sneaky beast.' Arthur thought to leftism, hoping that Brambles would be able to sense it.
Having made his decision, Arthur spoke to the staff member. "I'll take them all."
"Are you sure?" The Staff member asked.
"Yes, I'll take them all. And don't worry, I'll pace myself." He replied.
"Very well."
>Player Arthur has taken on seven bounties<
The notification popped up, before another window with the details also popped up. Arthur ignored the ones about the goblins, as he already knew the rewards, and looked at the two he was focused on.
>Bounties issued!<
——
Bounty: Hunt 5 Twin Tail Lizards in the Spindle Hills!
Grade: Uncommon
Difficulty: Intermediate
Reward: 4 Gold Coins, Reputation increase.
***
Bounty: Hunt The Grogal on the outskirts of Oxal Mountains!
Grade: Rare
Difficulty: Intermediate
Reward: 7 Gold Coins, Reputation increase.

'They sure give a decent payout as compared to the goblins, which only pay 1 silver per goblin.' Arthur thought to himself.
The stronger variants of the goblins, like the Goblin warriors and archers, pay 1.5 Silvers while the Goblin Mages pay 2 silvers instead.
Still, this was nothing compared to the other two bounties.
Plus, since these were bounties and not specific jobs, there wasn't any extra equipment as a reward. Most of the bounties were issued due to the creatures being a danger or a nuisance as such, their corpses would usually be considered as a reward too.
Players were free to do whatever they wanted with them or they could simply sell them all off if need be. That way, they could get more money.
"Thank you for your help," Arthur said to the staff member before leaving the place.
He squeezed out through the entrance, as more adventurers were coming in to have some drinks at night.
'Now to get the Teleportation Scroll.' This was one of the necessities that Arthur needed to get.
It would vastly shorten the time needed for him to return to the city and make it very profitable in the long run with how many corpses he would bring.
