Chapter 291 – Wanting a Big Brother (2/2)

“Of course not! This mission is extremely important!”

Since Lin Tian had nothing to do, he began explaining just how important this mission was with great interest.

The so called S-rank mission.

Usually, the alliance would factor in things like a mission’s difficulty, scope of impact, priority to rank missions from the lowest E rank to the highest S rank, a total of six ranks.

Of course, there was also the existence of SSS-rank missions that were above S-rank, the only reason they weren’t included in the normal mission ratings was because it was too rare. They couldn’t even be called missions, because they would only be issues during large-scale war times, rather than missions, it was more appropriate to call them conscription orders.

Thus, S-rank missions were the highest ranked, most important and most difficult missions that the Alliance offices would post. Although it was difficult with a high amount of risk, but it was also extremely lucrative.

“I hear that there’s also ranks among the investigators! Just like with missions, it’s split into six different ranks from E to S, and the hero is obviously the highest SSS-rank! If I can continuously complete S-rank missions and rank up, then I might even become a hero candidate in the future!”

Lin Tian spoke with shining eyes, like he already saw himself standing at the apex while holding the Holy Sword.

“Uh… but I don’t think you’re strong enough, the hero should be really strong, right? But you’re not.” Yao Zi blinked while saying the truth.

“Uh… nonsense, I’m not weak either! I’m just not strong enough, if I work hard, then I’ll definitely become stronger!” Lin Tian clenched his fist, then looked at Yao Zi while thinking about something, “Then sister, what about you?”

“Me? What about me…”

Yao Zi stopped when he questioned her.

When she saw his suspicious gaze, she obviously knew that he wasn’t asking whether she was diligently practicing her magic circles and whether she can cast fifth-level magic, but something else.

Wizard’s bloodline.

Although Yao Zi could fool other people. but he was her brother, so it wasn’t as simple.

Lin Tian knew that the person who killed the Lesser Devils in the end was his sister, so that means she was the rumored person that possessed the Wizard’s bloodline.

But he didn’t understand why she wouldn’t acknowledge it and would always avoid the topic when he brings it up.

“So, what is the Wizard’s bloodline?” Since it seemed like he was making it difficult for her, he didn’t force her and changed the topic.

“I don’t know either. They all say that I possess the Wizard’s bloodline, and I’m an extremely strong person… but you know me the best, how could I be someone like that? Also, I don’t want to either… how scary is that.”

“Right, Yao Zi is an idiot, a coward who is scared of the dark!”

“I-I’m not a coward! Being scared of the dark… is just an instinctive response!”

Yao Zi angrily pouted and pretended to be angry to avoid the topic.

Actually, she wasn’t hiding it and playing dumb on purpose, it was because even she couldn’t confirm whether she actually had the Wizard’s bloodline or not, so she couldn’t jump to a conclusion. She could only use that power in a moment of life or death, and she couldn’t even feel it at all normally, like it wasn’t even there. So she could only temporarily ignore it and then slowly study it later when she gets a chance.

After resting for a while, they were both revitalized and Lin Tian dragged Yao Zi along, past one more street until they finally arrived at the legendary Alliance Office.

The place wasn’t big, it was a small and plan-looking house with a circular plaque hanging by the door. The decoration at the entrance were also plain and simple, if it wasn’t for Lin Tian making sure there were no errors, he would have thought that he was at the wrong place.

“Uh… why does it look like a restaurant?”
