“There are no great hunting missions posted on that bulletin, young lad. If you want, you can join our team to hunt in the nearby forest just south of Moonshine Village.” A man who looks like he is in his early thirties stated as he put his hand on Adrian’s shoulder while smiling broadly. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮

“There you go again, Rollin. Trying to rope in a fledgling in our hunts. You should avoid hunting with us I you cannot handle our intimidating gaze kid. Grow a bit more and we might let you join.” A man with numerous scars on his arms stated.

“Umph” The third man just nodded in agreement with what the man with scars stated.

“We can just let him be our porter we would only teach him how to hunt but he would not really participate in the hunt himself. He is still too green for that as the beasts we hunt emits such a thick aura of bloodlust that he might pause like what he did when he entered.” Rollin stated.

“The name is Amoux and the silent guy there is Lowe. If you really want to, then you could join us as a porter. We would still pay you but your share will be lesser than our share but that would be enough to continue your travels if you do not stay here at our quaint village.” Amoux stated as he smiled towards Adrian.

“Umph!” Lowe nodded once more.

“Think about our offer, young lad. Come on boys. We need to hunt as the village festival is about to come.” Rollin stated as he rounded up his two companions.

“Do not worry and it would be better for you to accept their offer. They are good people and like to guide young aspiring adventurers from this village. They are also something like the village’s unofficial guards because they are the ones to break up fights if they happen upon them.

The intense intimidating aura that they released earlier is also part of them looking out for the young aspiring adventurers. They always do that in order to drive away the weak hearted young lads that wants to become adventurers. This line of work is extremely dangerous after all.” The Adventurers Guild Clerk stated so that Adrian does not get offended for being tested.

“I see. I will keep that in mind. I might join them later on after I get a good night’s rest. Is there an inn here that is cheap?” Adrian asked and the clerk happily told him the way.

Just outside of the Adventurers Guild, Adrian could sense that he was being watched. There was no killing intent but rather it was something like when someone wants to pull you in a networking scam. Adrian felt that gaze, so he hurried on his way to the inn without even looking back.

Solstice and Lycan though saw how Adrian is acting so they looked around. The two of them saw a hooded individual following Adrian. They wanted to come close to that hooded individual but if it was one of the followers of that other alpha then they would undoubtedly be sensitive to being observed.

The hooded individual tried to talk to Adrian on the way, but he carefully weaved through the people at the market that was near the location of the inn. Every time that the hooded individual was about to touch Adrian, Soleil and Lycan would try touching the person next to Adrian o get their attention thereby diverting the hooded individual’s touch.

Adrian managed to find the inn that the Adventurers Guild Clerk stated, and he rented it for ten days. Solstice and Lycan cancelled their soul form as the three need to discuss what to do next before they log out to handle their issues in the real world.

“Those three are undeniably werewolves. I can sense their aura of ferociousness is the same as that of Lycan. From the Adventurers Guild Clerk’s suggestion, it seem that they are not bad people. Though I doubt that they are part of that other alpha’s faction.” Adrian shared.

“What makes you say that?” Lycan asked.

“They love this village too much for them to leave. If they really wanted fame and adventure, then they would have left the village a long time ago. Though the rejected young werewolf wannabe adventurers might be the ones who are joining this Alpha’s Pack.” Adrian suggested.

“Does it concern the hooded individual that was following you?” Solstice asked.

“I already felt the gaze of someone when I entered the Adventurers Guild. You guys would not feel that gaze because it was not directed at you guys and becoming soul forms dulls down your physical senses. It is still an odd coincidence that someone followed me, the moment I walked out after those three werewolves went out.” Adrian argued.

“I also thought that it was suspicious that someone followed you after exiting the Adventurers Guild. If they wanted to ask a question, then that person should have entered already or asked the three werewolves that went out before us.” Solstice added.

“Should I follow that hooded individual then? Your skill will not dissipate in effect if you log out right?” Lycan asked as he wanted to continue with the quest as he still has a bit more time left.

“It will not dissipate but you need to heed my warnings though. You can phase right through objects, but it would drain your mana. 1000 Mana Points would be reduced per square meter of phasing. You are also very vulnerable to magic attacks. You might get one shot in that form by a high-level wizard.” Adrian warned Lycan.

“I will just observe that hooded individual while I still have time left. It seems that hooded individual is waiting at the restaurant part of the inn.” Lycan answered with determination.

“I am fine with that. Sis?” Adrian asked Solstice.

“Fine but be careful. I do not want to save your sorry ass from a prison again.” Solstice stated as she kissed Lycan’s cheek.

“Yuck. I will just cast the spell right away. I do not want to see you guys flirting.” Adrian stated as he cast the Soul Form Transformation skill and immediately logged out after.

“Seriously, that impatient brat! Anyways, be incredibly careful.” Solstice kissed Lycan once more and logged out.

Lycan then proceeded with following the hooded individual that followed Adrian with the remaining time he can log-in inside the game. The hooded individual waited a little while in an empty table before going out of the inn as it seems the person that it was waiting for did not meet him or her.
