Name: Sharp Carr
Race: Human
Level: 10
Magic: 1000/1000
Profession: Knight
Talent: None
Skills: [Basic Gunnery] [Shield Strike] [Holy Shield] [Raging Gun] [Speedwalk]
The strong man with triangular eyes in front of him is none other than Harry's brother, the Raging Knight, Sharp Carr.
Facing Sharp's questioning, Anno said without changing his face, "I wonder if your brother is?"
"Playing dumb with me, are you?"
Sharp snorted coldly and reached out to lift Anno's collar.
Anno frowned and dodged back in a hurry.
Sharp's eyes flashed with contempt as he stepped forward to follow Anno's movement.
With his level 10 strength, it was easy for him to tackle Anno himself.
But when he was about to close in on Anno, an enchanting silhouette flashed between the two.
"Ugh~, what do you want to do to this handsome little boy?" Mavis stepped in front of Anno. Her rosy little tongue licking her purple lipsticked lips with a smirk on her face.
Sharp didn't expect Mavis to suddenly intervene and paused as his hand was about to touch Mavis, then quickly withdrew it.
"Mavis, this is none of your business here!"
Sharp frowned angrily.
But in his eyes, there was a flash of scorn.
Mavis covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "He is bringing the Adventurers' Guild to support me, and I had a hard time waiting for them to come. Because you're hostile to someone else's leader? What if so many people turn their heads and leave?"
Anno looked at the woman who spoke up for himself and inwardly said, "I didn't think that the top brass of the Black Widow Mercenaries knew that I was bringing the guild behind me. It seems that they are very attached to the Adventurers' Guild!
Name: Mavis Flynn
Race: Human
Level: 10
Magic: 1200/1200
Profession: Thief
Talent: None
Skills: [Sneak] [Sprint] [Backstab] [Hardened Poison] [Snake Kiss]
When he saw [Hardened Poison], Anno unconsciously stayed away from Mavis.
Those who played with poison were more dangerous in general.
The reason why Sharp was afraid of Mavis was also that the latter could use poison.
Anno thought that Mavis was a member of the Black Widow Mercenaries mainly because of the spider tattoo on her neck.

The Black Widows, the second highest ranked mercenary group in Valcam, had mainly female members and had spider tattoos on their bodies.
After hearing Mavis' words, Sharp pointed at the adventurers around him and sneered, "Support? What do you expect this bunch of trash to support us? To feed those ugly goblins?"
"Have you lost your head because your brother is missing?"
Mavis rolled her eyes and said, "With them, the Slime problem can be solved for now, and the freed-up guards can join us in our mission to clear out the goblin.
You should know what a few more guards above level 6 would mean when we fight the goblin!"
Hearing Mavis mention his brother, Sharp's anger immediately rose and he drew his lance and pointed it at Mavis' head.
The expression on Mavis' face didn't change, but a green glowing dagger appeared in her hand at some point.
Anno watched the scene with a slightly strange expression.
He was sure he hadn't come into contact with Mavis or any other member of the Black Widow mercenary group before.
But Mavis would actually speak up for him in front of Sharpe.
"Although I announced the guild crusade yesterday, Sharp and Mavis should have set out with the Viscount's guards to the town of Gruul early yesterday morning, just staggering with the time of my guild mission.
Sharp obviously didn't know the reason I brought them here, but Mavis said she'd been waiting for me for a long time and knew what I was here for."
Anno stared at the two men facing each other, a small smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
From the information in front of him, and the fact that the Black Widow mercenary group was the only large mercenary group to actively assist the Viscount in the three major mercenary groups in Valcam.
It was not difficult to guess that the Black Widow Mercenaries were associated with Viscount Raynor.
Then Mavis' behavior is obvious.
It was a hint to Anno that they were in cahoots.
At least for now, they were allies.
"Captain Sharp, Captain Mavis, what are you doing?"
Brooke and Owen saw the tension between the two men and rushed out to play it safe.

"Hmph!"
Sharp withdrew his lance, and he knew that this was a special time. It is not the time to strike.
He stared at Anno and said viciously, "Anno, when was the last time you saw my brother Harry?"
Although he would not do anything, for the time being, Sharp still had to ask for information about his brother.
Seeing all eyes on him, Anno held his hand to his chin and pretended to think.
"Harry? Harry! Oh, there was such a person. I ran into him bullying my companion when I was in Gruul town, so I took a shot at him! Not sure about that after that."
This information Sharp had inquired about when he arrived in Gruul Town.
Not long after that, Harry disappeared from the public eye.
So Sharp seriously suspected that his brother's disappearance had something to do with Anno.
And he knew of Anno's status as a summoner and that the latter could summon goblin for battle.
Although he didn't want to admit it, if Harry and Anno clashed, the odds were that Harry would be the one to die.
"Kid, you better not let me find out anything, or else I'll make you regret coming into this world!"
With that in mind, Sharp wouldn't look into anything else.
Any suspicious person related to his brother's disappearance, with or without evidence, had only one consequence.
Arrest!
Torture!
And kill!
At the moment, because of the threat of goblins and the presence of Mavis and the guards, Sharp couldn't do anything about it.
He was going to wait until Anno was alone and then make his move.
It was almost five o'clock now anyway, and in another hour or two, it would be dark!
By then it would be easy for him to strike and take a man captive in the night.
Sharp turned to leave. Brooke and Owen breathed a sigh of relief.
They were only level 6, and the captain of the guards was still in town making plans.
If Sharp got angry and took on Anno, they could do nothing.
They would have to rely on Mavis, the poisonous spider, to help them.
"Little boy~, it's getting late, why don't you go into town with me and let your men find a place to rest ......"
"Chirp~~~pop~!"
Mavis was halfway through her words when she suddenly heard a series of loud noises coming from the distance.
Her face changed and she turned her head to look in the direction the sounds were coming from.
Not only Mavis, but Brooke, Owen, and Sharp, who hadn't gone far, all turned to look in the same direction.
Anno noticed this too and looked back.
In the far sky, a conspicuous red flare exploded.
"That direction is the ...... Forbidden Forest!"
Anno didn't understand what the flare meant, but he could tell by the looks on Mavis and the others' faces that it was definitely not good!
"Owen, quick, go and tell the First Captain that goblins outside the forbidden forest are moving!"
Brooke said in a very quick voice to Owen beside him.
And Owen was already running towards the town as soon as he saw the flare go up.
Anno looked at the crowd that had left in a hurry and understood that things might be a bit serious.
"All adventurers, quickly enter the town to eat and rest. Prepare for battle at all times!"
The adventurers around them responded in unison, "Yes!"
......
The edge of the forbidden forest.
A goblin walked over to the corpse of a human thief and pulled its weapon from the body, an ax.
Behind it, there were several other goblins and other magical creatures.
All of them were of level 6 or above!
In the center of the crowd of demonic creatures, there was a humanoid figure covered in black robes.
Looking at the rising flare, the black-robed figure twitched.
"Useless trash, a human thief this close didn't even notice!"
The language of the demonic creatures came from beneath the black robes.
The surrounding demonic creatures, including a level 10 goblin priest, lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.
"Have the troops speed up and reach the designated location! We must take this town tonight!"

This is a writing exercise so chapters are mostly first drafts, otherwise I'd end up rewriting each chapter for a month or more with no real changes. My goals are a steady output by not using perfectionism as a procrastination method. I've already got laziness and additions to reading/games, I don't need a 3rd reason to procrastinate.][Disclaimer 2: The main character is a more normalized version of me, with 170% less laziness installed, and a few buffs like greater courage. Other things like having a job are partially similar. No other characters are based on real people because most people I know are either too normal to be useful or too fucked in the head to be believable.]
