When they arrived at the labyrinth, they met a massive crowd standing in front of the large door. Many people still wondered how such a thing could just appear out of nowhere.
The door was connected to a mountain and was said to lead downwards into the mountain.
This particular labyrinth was found when someone accidentally blew up the mountain, revealing the door.
“We should head to the front; it seems a few people have already entered as well,” Quin said and led the team to the front of the labyrinth.
There were quite a few guards from the town and seemingly from Blackstar City as well. When they saw Quin’s team, they halted them and asked for their permit.
“Do you have a permit to get into the labyrinth?” the man asked. He was one of the guards from the city, not the town.
“We do,” Quin said and took out his storage pouch to remove the permit. He handed the permit to the man.
The man looked through it; it was a party permit for six people. He looked at the team and then spotted Mike and Silva.
He decided to ignore Mike since he seemed older, but he focused on Silva.
“Isn’t it reckless to take a kid into a labyrinth that was just discovered? Sure, he may be at the acceptable age, but that doesn’t mean you can just take him to his death,” the guard said with a pissed face.
“I made the conscious decision to come here; there is no need for you to worry about me. I may not look like all that much, but I am pretty strong,” Silva said.
“Tsk, kid, it doesn’t matter what you think, it is careless to do what you want to,” the guard said, his tone getting pissed.
“Sir, I don’t think you have the right to tell us what to do and what not to do. Everyone in my party is of the acceptable age, and if there is anyone qualified to enter this labyrinth, it would be Silva,” Quin said.
“You damn brat, do you want me to revoke your permit?” the guard asked.
Their discussion had created a scene, and the people around were looking. When the town guards saw the people that the guard was arguing with, they all ran over.
They immediately pulled the guard back and bowed their heads to ask for forgiveness.
“Sir Quin and Sir Silva, we are deeply sorry for wasting your time. He didn’t know better,” a guard said in apology.
“Raise your heads, we just want to get in,” Quin said and passed them, entering the labyrinth.
The guard that had been pulled away snapped at the town’s guards; he didn’t understand why they would just come and pull him like that.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked.
“Those two people you were stressing out are Quin and Silva. Both of them are C-ranked adventurers of this town; you can’t just disrespect them,” one of the guards explained to him.
“What? How can that kid already be C-ranked? He looks twelve,” the guard asked.
“That’s not all; there is a rumor that he’s already good enough for B-rank, but he refuses to have political connections and so has remained at C-rank.
He is the town’s prodigy, the first person to become an adventurer at six in the town.”
The guard that had been pulled raised his brows in shock. He could remember years ago, a rumor of a kid becoming an adventurer spread through the city.
Many didn’t take it seriously, but here he was today, and he saw that same person. He now understood why the guards reacted the way they did; such a person was basically a treasure.

Inside the labyrinth, it was like a cave, illuminated by some white stones on the ceiling.
There was the dripping sound of water hitting the ground at intervals, giving a strange vibe to the place.
The air was also heavy and stationary; there was no movement of wind at all.
As they passed through the place, Silva used his advanced search to check for enemies. He simply searched for living organisms, and in less than three seconds, he found a group of what seemed to be goblins headed their way. freewёbnoνel.com
“There are a ton of goblins headed this way, about fifteen of them. Their base stats are all around ten to twenty. Their weaponry seems heavily beat up; it shouldn’t be able to take a full hit from yours.” Silva gave them all the information they could possibly need.
Everyone took out their weapons in response to what he said, but Silva didn’t do that; he simply stood and waited.
There was something he wanted to try, and that was summoning. He hadn’t done a summoning since he came to this world, and that was his base magic.
He wanted to get the feel of summoning; he didn’t need such weak creatures, but for the sake of testing it out, he would do it.
The group was happy that they had Silva on their side; his search ability just saved them all the trouble that could have come with those goblins.
After a while, the goblins were in sight, brandishing their weapons at the party.
“You three handle it. Mike, join them,” Quin said and retreated back. Such creatures hardly helped him level up ever since he got to level 20.
Silva didn’t know how it was happening, but he knew that Quin had something special about him. Even without a legacy, Quin leveled up very fast; there had to be a reason that only he knew about.
The issue was that he had to face tons of stronger monsters if he wanted to grow faster.
The four people took the frontline and charged at the incoming goblins. The battle began with the mage casting a fireball that exploded on the head of a goblin and killed it.
Silva watched as they fought; he approached the battle and snatched one of the goblins like it was nothing.
The goblin shook and struggled, but nothing it did was even helping in the slightest.
