Three days later Samael and Morana finally managed to leave the forest and entered the nearest city called Nersac.
After exchanging some herbs and beasts for money in the adventurer's hall, they had about 2 thousand gold coins. The journey to the Aegis kingdom was going to be long, after all it was whole another continent.
So, they decided to sign up as adventurers.
Morana signed up as fire practitioner and Samael became lightning practitioner. This draw a bit of attention to them after all a child fire practitioner with a young lightning practitioner was not a common sight, moreover, both of them had heavenly beauty.
Since they signed up just now, they were both F-ranking adventurers.
Adventurers ranking was pretty simple at first but later it became pretty complicated.
F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, +SSS, DE, M, P last three rankings meant Divine, Mythical, and primordial. In reality these rankings were not even used in Lower realm not even in idle realm and upper realm only had a few cases.
There were rumors about other realms existing but that's all they ever were rumors.
Morana and Samael had to complete 20-F-ranking missions before they could become E-ranking adventurers. To become D-ranking Adventurers, they had to complete 20 E ranking missions and take a test.
More their rank grew harder it was to advance. This kind of tests and missions were not a problem for them at all, in fact they were not at all interested in it.
There are only three ways for continental travels:
First, if one became C or higher-ranking adventurer or was in a party.
Second, if one was accompanied by one or more B-ranking adventurer parties.
Third, was to get a special pass from the government and these were not common, usually they were used for diplomatic missions or trading.
After leaving the Adventurers guild Morana and Samael found closest Inn and payed for two rooms. When they finally settled down and ate their fill, it was time to decide their next steps and route.
"We have about 2000 gold coins from all the things we gathered in the forest, we also need to become C-ranking adventurers if we want to travel to another continent, we have lots of stops to make on the way there we could also look for places with dark mana on the way." Said Morana
"Hmm. I will just follow whatever you say." Said Samael.
"Aegis kingdom is on Navaren continent while we are on Azurel continent and to go there we will have to go to Zoa and use the Great bridge to go to Navaren."
"How do we go to Zoa?"
"Zoa is a country where the "Union" is. Best way to go to Zoa from here is through "Newgate". This city will be our last stop in Azurel continent and we will take a ship from there to Zoa."
"Okay. Then, what about the route to Newgate?"
"This place is pretty far away from Newgate, but it's already the quickest route. We have to make about 15 major stops any many more minor stops on the way.
Our first major stop is "Lilildam" it will take us about a week to get there by foot also I want to complete as many missions as we can on the way there. Things will become much easier for us if we are higher ranking adventurers.
Lilildam is a really large city in Samaria in about 2 weeks it will have annual competition. This competition is dedicated to founders of the city and has generous rewards for winners.
I want to participate in this competition, just in case." Explained Morana.
"Fine by me. So, when do we leave?" Asked Samael.
"In three days before that let's do as many missions as possible. To participate in the competition, one must be at adventurer from E rank to C rank and no older than 30 in age."
Next day they started taking missions early in the morning. F rankers didn't receive any hard missions, usually it was either to gather something or help out people around the city with odd jobs.
Odd jobs could take longer than gathering so both, Samael and Morana took 4-gathering missions each and left for the forest.
They had to pick the spirit grass used in alchemy, Blue jojoba fruit used in making different tonics, 15 drops of lamia essence and a flask of spring water from south of Azurel forest.
The last one was a bit tricky to get because this place usually had some beasts but demand on spring water was pretty big sins it's use in alchemy greatly increased success rate.
All of these missions were pretty common, they could be taken as many times as one wanted and by as many people as possible since their demand was pretty high and they were not that hard to get.
Morana and Samael were done with these tasks in about 4 hours. After that they decided to eat something and rest for a bit before taking 2 more missions that day.
Their first day was pretty fruitful. They manage to do 6 tasks and they still needed to do 12 more in order to become E-ranking adventurers.
Meanwhile a group of 10 appeared in the same place Morana and Samael teleported in a few days ago.
"This is where I picked her up that day?" Said a beautiful man with ash blond hair and lavender eyes. He had a good build and was very handsome, he should have been in about his early twenties.
If Morana saw this man she would recognize him as Victor or as she calls him poor little Vic.
"We have her life stone and her blood, we should be able to find her." Said another man with dark black hair and golden eyes.
This was Morana's father Leonie.
In that second Victor turned around felt a familiar presence, others also noticed his strange behavior.
"What is it?" Asked a woman with ruby red hair.
"I can feel her presence here, she must have been here a few days ago." Said Victor.
Hearing his words both Leonie and Amalia became exited.
"She could not be too far away we can find her." Said he woman.
"Yes, but even though she is a genius she is still small we should hurry and follow her tracks or something might happen to her." Said Leonie worried.
With his reminder other two also became a little anxious and ordered their people to hurry.
