The next day, Elena left her home early in the morning. Going to the domain of Margrave Raflieta using normal means would take a hell lot of time which she didn't have. So she simply used {Total Clairvoyance} to find a safe, deserted place and then teleported there instantly.

She knew where the bandits hideout was. It was a bit further from the main city of Margrave Raflieta's domain, Urasula. It was an abandoned fortress that the bandits had redecorated with top class materials. Other than that fortress, they also had 7 mini hideouts close to the main one. The adventurer guild of Urasula was able to collect this information after a lot of tries.

To complete the mission Elena didn't have to kill or capture all the bandis. She only needed to destroy the main hideout or to kill the bandit leader. This test was not only to see a S rank adventurers strength but also their intelligence as for a normal S ranker it would still be quite hard to fight 10,000 person head on who had the support of magic artifacts.

But obviously Elena planned to destroy all the bandits bases or her rewards would become small. But first she wanted to collect information about this bandits group. Elena was not a fool. She knew many bandits from her previous world who had the heart of a saint and she also didn't know anything about the Margrave here. So, she thought collecting information inside the city would be better.

She entered the city after showing the guards her A rank adventurer card and after getting a lot of looks from them. As it was her first time in this city she didn't forget to ask the guards about the most important locations like an inn or the adventurer guild. Then she went straight to the adventure guild. While one guard ran to the margrave's mansion to give him the report that a new A rank adventurer had entered the city.

...

When Elena entered the adventurer guild, the noisy guild suddenly became silent. Obviously the reason behind that was her extraordinary beauty. Elena didn't pay it any mind and went straight to the reception and handed her adventurer guild card to the female receptionist. She looked at it while she was slightly stunned by Elena's beauty but then again she got another big surprise after seeing her rank and she blurted out

"A rank"

This comment from her sent another shock to the adventurers there. Even tho Urasula was also a frontier just like Rin but there was no dangerous monster infested place like the Wicked Forest of Ull here. So the number of top class adventurers here was very little compared to Rin. There was only one A rank adventurer here who died when he went to subjugate the infamous "Deadly Plague" bandit group. So currently there is no more A rank adventurer present in Urasula.

Then this receptionist suddenly came back to her senses and apologized to Elena as leaking an adventurer's personal information without their permission was definitely bad. But Elena didn't mind it and told her -

"Don't worry about it. For now I want to have a private meeting with the guildmaster, I think I should have that right as an A rank adventurer."

"Yessh... I'm sorry, yes you definitely have the right to do so. I shall inform the guildmaster about it right now, so please wait for a moment."

Seeing a genuine A rank adventurer in person was a very big deal for receptionists like her as in a city with only a single adventurer of A rank, he would be treated like a gem and he would not need to even visit the guild for anything.

As Elena was waiting for the receptionist to come back she didn't waste this time and went to some adventurer teams who looked to be decent and started chatting with them. Her main reason to do that was to know the general situation of the city and also to gain some knowledge specific to the adventurers.

Elena had a benefactor in the previous world who was an expert con artist. Elena had spent some time living under his patronage and there he also taught Elena all of his skills in conversation.

So Elena was actually very proficient in managing the flow of a conversation and gaining information while holding a conversation without gathering any attention. She used the same thing here and while having a nice chat she was able to gain quite a lot of information about the city.

The receptionist came back after 15 minutes or so and told Elena that the guild master was ready to receive her and asked Elena to follow her. While Elena was following the receptionist she had a pleasant chat with her and she came to know that her name was Emily. After reaching in front of the door to the guildmaster's room Emily knocked on the door and asked for permission to get in. After getting an answer she opened the door and let Elena enter and then she bowed to the guildmaster and left after closing the door.

After entering the room Elena silently cast a silence spell and a camouflage spell. Then she sat on the chair in front of the guildmaster. He was an old man of about 60 but he was still able to maintain a good figure. After analysing him Elena found out that his level was 238. That means he is a B ranker. Elena had thought that only A ranker could become guildmaster as that was the case in previous times but her assumption was clearly wrong.

The guildmaster introduced himself -

"Nice to meet you, young lady. I'm Arther, a former B rank adventurer and currently the guildmaster of Urasula's adventurer guild. How may I be of assistance?"

"Nice to meet you too, guildmaster Arther. I'm Elena, an A rank adventurer and I'm here for my S rank promotion mission."

Arther was very bewildered -

"Young miss, if I'm not going senile then that mission should have been sent to the capital only 2 days ago tho."

"Oh, as soon as I got the mission I came here as quickly as possible, so don't worry about it. And I would like to know all the information the guild had about this bandit group."

"Ok then. I will ready the information for you as soon as possible and as you are taking the promotion exam to reach S rank so, I think I don't need to tell you this but as an old man I'm quite paranoid so let me give a honest warning. This bandit group "Deadly Plague" have the support of Danclesiv kingdom and that is the reason they have so much power."

After saying so he left the room to get the information and Elena fell into deep thoughts.
