As the gateway from the Elf Continent to the Pattington Plane, the Padesto City is very prosperous.

Although there are no treehouses in this city that can create new spaces, many exquisite and artistic wooden houses have been built on the canopies of the giant trees. These houses are of various sizes and styles, but each one was built with great care by the elven architects.

Stepping into the bustling Padesto City, you'll find that the Silver Moon Elf are all very polite. They are dressed in decent clothes and greet everyone with a smile.

Everywhere there were beautiful elf girls, and many elves would stand in front of the flowers, intoxicated by the songs of the bards.

The roads in Padesto City are winding, mainly because the city's giant trees don't grow in a neat and orderly fashion, forcing many roads to change direction because of them.

The Silvermoon Elven Nobles sat in a magnificent carriage...

Although there aren't many Silvermoon Elven Nobles in Padesto City, the Silver Moon Elf control a vast amount of wealth.

They also control the Tree of Life in Padesto City. The sap produced by the Tree of Life is distributed free of charge to a small number of Silver Moon Elf, while the rest is sold on the Black Market. A cup of diluted Tree of Life Sap often costs tens of Kole.

Although Silver Moon Elf Silver Moon Elf Castleton City also do this, at least they are not so blatant.

Roy really wanted to see what Lord Alvis looked like.

Just a month ago, Lord Alvis bought a large area of jungle south of Padesto City and drove the Half-Elf who had lived in the jungle for decades out of his territory.

In the early morning, the Adventure Group members enjoyed a very simple breakfast at the inn, and then the whole team left the inn. Instructor Nora led everyone to return the rented horses to the carriage company and get their deposit back.

The horse and carriage companies here are quite honest. They checked the horses and found no problems, so they refunded the deposit in full.

There were no instances of deposits being withheld due to minor issues...

Instructor Nora then led everyone to the Adventurers Guild with practiced ease.

Upon entering the lobby, Instructor Nora went straight to the front desk and said to an elven receptionist, "I would like to register the hunting information of the Elf Academy Adventure Group, and also update the personal information of my members."

The receptionist glanced at Instructor Nora, took a nameplate from her, searched for a while, and sure enough, found a document belonging to the Elf Academy Adventure Group on the shelf.

The female receptionist at the Adventurers Guild then handed the document to a female companion beside her and instructed her:

"Jane, take these adventurers to check the hunting certificates. If they are accurate, help them fill out the hunting records for the Adventure Group again."

"OK."

The young female elf readily agreed. Wearing a plain long dress, she walked at the front, swaying her serpentine waist, and led the Adventure Group up to the second floor. First, she led Instructor Nora to the door of an appraisal room.

'Knock knock knock...'

"Come in!" someone inside responded.

The young female elf led Instructor Nora into the appraisal room, while the other members waited outside.

Roy sat on the sofa in the rest area with everyone and waited for a while before the young female elf and Instructor Nora came out of the appraisal hall together.

Not only did Nora's eyes reveal a smile, but even the elf Jane looked at Instructor Nora with admiration on her face.

"Nora, did you pass the test?" Instructor Gru couldn't help but ask Nora.

Instructor Nora nodded smugly.

A cheer erupted from the crowd, attracting the attention of some members of the nearby Adventure Group, but no one seemed to care...

The fairy Jane led everyone to a reception room. The room wasn't very big, but it contained a round table and ten chairs.

The Adventure Group sat down, and the female elf named Jane opened the Elf Academy Adventure Group. Right in front of Instructor Nora, she wrote down the prey hunted on this expedition, as well as the successful arrival at Aperture No.3 of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, and stamped it.

Next came updating the personal information of each member of the Adventure Group one by one. It took quite a while to complete the information registration.

"You guys actually managed to hunt Black Jaw Spider and Venomous Horned Black Serpent, that's pretty impressive..."

The female elf clerk looked at everyone with envy.

Because the Adventure Group hunted down a Tier 3 peak-stage magical beast Venomous Horned Black Serpent, at the edge of the Blackwater Swamp, the Elf Academy Adventure Group successfully advanced to a Tier 4 Adventure Group.

All members' resumes were also given a chance to be updated. Except for the three elf students whose resumes stated that they assisted from the side, the resumes of the other instructors and the Magician Scarlett clearly stated how they killed the monsters.

Although it was only a few words, it recorded this experience.

After updating their adventure information at the Adventurers Guild, everyone came down from the second floor.

"Instructor Gru, I don't quite understand... what's the point of recording this information at the Adventure Group' Guild?" Roy asked in a low voice, following behind Instructor Gru.

"If you ever decide to accept a job from another Adventure Group, this record will allow you to get a higher salary," Instructor Gru said casually.

"Or perhaps one day you want to form a new Adventure Group and need to find some helpers in the Adventurers Guild. This information will allow other adventurers to see your strength..." Elinore turned around and added to Roy.

"If you plan to stay with us, this information is useless!"

Magician Scarlett followed behind and said.

As the group chatted and laughed as they came downstairs, they heard someone whisper in the Adventurers Guild hall on the first floor, "Look, they're coming down..."

After he finished speaking, he saw a group of elves gathered at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.

A group of elves eagerly asked the Adventure Group, "What kind of prey have you hunted? We heard you have some mid-level magical beast materials. Show them to us!"

"It's things like Wind Fox fur and dire wolf fur."

Instructor Nora stepped out from the crowd and spoke in a mumbled manner.

"Didn't you hunt a black- Black Jaw Spider Black Jaw Spider? Do you want to sell its hard hide?"

An adventurer who was guarding the stairwell asked.

"We're selling, but this isn't a trading area. Please make way, we need to leave the Adventurers Guild!"

Instructor Nora walked at the front, talking as she went.

"Then we'll wait for you outside. As long as it's magical material from the Black Jaw Spider and the Venomous Horned Black Serpent, we can discuss the price slowly."

Some of the elven adventurers couldn't wait to say it.

Sure enough, as soon as the Adventure Group stepped out of the Adventurers Guild, they were surrounded by a group of merchants waiting at the door. Everyone was asking about the prices of various monster materials, and it all became a chaotic mess.
