Blood Elf Monarch

"An elf?"

Tristan was a little bit startled that the short guy could actually tell that he was an elf. Meanwhile, the brown-haired man and the attendant were shocked when they heard the cloaked man was one of the esteemed. The man turned his head to his companion and saw that he was serious.

Clapping his hands together, the brown-haired man said with a smile, "Ahh! If an elf joined our party, the job will surely be much easier to finish!"

The man looked at Tristan with a hopeful gaze. Alas, Tristan still kept his silence, as he tried to read more into the situation before saying anything else.

While Tristan was still in doubt, the short guy added, "You need to know, brother. He is not just any normal elf."

The brown-haired man was surprised, "Huh?! What do you mean?" He then observed Tristan closely, "He does not look like a dark elf to me."

"No, of course no. He\'s not a dark elf, but he is very strong."

Tristan kept his calm while directing his attention to the short guy, observing him carefully. He then realized that under his dark cloak, the guy was constantly playing with some kind of a bracelet in his hand.

The other two people who came together with the short and brown-haired man were also curious, they wondered what made their companion say Tristan was very strong. Fortunately, their question was quickly answered by the short guy.

"This elf has a battle power of 100, brother even you can\'t overpower him." said the short guy while looking at the brown-haired man.

Surprise was seen on the man\'s face before it quickly turned into excitement, "Wow! Really? That\'s really great!" He then returned to Tristan and said, "I truly respect a strong fighter! You can call me Borin. What is your name, sir elf?"

Tristan wanted to know more information from this group. Hence, he decided to take a friendly attitude. After all, the other party approached him with good intention.

"My name is Tristan. This is my sister, Layla.:

"Hi all.." Layla greeted with a smile.

The four people were turning their head left and right, comparing the two of them. They were dumbfounded by the stark difference the siblings had with each other.

The short guy, who apparently was called Piyo, was about to ask but Layla beat him to it as she said, "Yes. I am adopted, alright?"

Borin and the others were startled for a second, before they exploded into a loud laughter, "Hahaha! You both are hilarious." Collecting himself, Borin looked at Tristan again and said, "How about my suggestion? Will you join us to complete the job?"

Tristan fell into deep thought, contemplating the matter seriously. After a short while, he finally nodded his head, "Sure."

The reason he agreed with Borin\'s suggestion was because he knew he had to work with someone at some point, as going solo would sometimes be nearly impossible to do. Hence, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to experience working in a group.

These 4 people could be useful for him. However, there was still one thing that he needed to confirm first.

"However, you need to agree to my one condition."

Borin was surprised by the sudden request from Tristan, but of course, he would not immediately reject it. "Let\'s hear it first."

"Because I came with my sister here, I expect to split the reward to 6 portions, not 5."

Tristan\'s request seemed to offend the other man who held a spear in his hand, but Borin quickly stopped the man with his hand, "Because we highly value your strength, we will accept your request, sir elf."

"Great let\'s get started then!" replied Tristan with a smile.

With the two parties having come to an agreement, Tristan immediately followed Piyo\'s advice and switched his Copper badge into a Silver one. Seeing the gleaming badge in his hand, he once again thought how beneficial his new body was.

Tristan could notice the change of attitude in the cat ear female attendant towards him, which turned much more polite than before.

With 5 Silver adventurers teaming up, they could officially take the job.

Before they went towards the village in the posting, Borin asked Tristan to join in the discussion. The 4 people then began to introduce themselves. The brown-haired man, Borin, was the leader and acted as the one who confronted the enemies first, the Defender.

The tall slender man wielding a spear, the one who was offended by Tristan\'s request, was called Seth. He was a Lancer. The short guy, Piyo, acted as the Scout of the group, which was completely understandable given the stature he had. It was extremely supportive for his profession.

Meanwhile, the last person, a woman with short purple hair, Herrera, was apparently a Fire magician.

Tristan noticed that these people had some kind of class name for their profession, which caught his interest. However, the one who he was most interested in was the Fire magician. Noticing Tristan\'s gaze, the woman returned it with a flirtatious smile.

Layla saw Tristan looking at the female magician, and noticed the alluring body she had. Hence, she commented in a small voice, "Ooh.. I see a man thinking with his lower parts."

Tristan wisely acted as if he did not hear anything.

…

They decided to meet up in the same place tomorrow, first thing in the morning, so that they could go on the journey together.

It appeared that the journey to the Orc\'s camp would take two days. Boris told Tristan to make sure he brought proper equipment and items, especially for Layla.

Afterwards, they left the Adventure Guild and went their separate ways.

The moment the two siblings entered the streets, Tristan\'s enhanced sense suddenly perceived groups of people approaching them from multiple sides.

"Layla, stay close to me! We are surrounded!"
