Chapter 1061  Ying

The conversation continued for another ten minutes until Gortham's people entered the room, bringing a card in her hand. The card was black yet glowing in gold, looking like a luxurious product. The old man took the card and threw it toward Tang Shaoyang, who was now known as Ying.

Tang Shaoyang caught the spinning card in the air with his two fingers before giving the card a look. On the top middle was his fake name, Ying, and below the name was S, indicating his rank. He was surprised that the old man gave him an S rank without testing him. "You know why I need a new identity, right? I don't think this will help…." He then glanced at the female attendant.

"It's fine. She is my secretary; you can trust her." Gortham waved his hand, gesturing at Tang Shaoyang not to worry. "In fact, you will meet her a lot in the future. I am a Guild Master, and this is not the only dimensional tower the guild participated in, so I have to supervise the others who participate in a different tower."

The female attendant bowed her head. "My name is Eril."

Tang Shaoyang responded to the female attendant with a nod before starting to talk about his concern with the rank. "What about lower the rank, maybe C rank, or you can even give me the lowest rank in your guild, and I will climb it slowly. While I want a new identity, I don't want to be flashy with my identity. The other factions from this starter city will start digging about me, and it will be just a matter of time before they find out that I am using a fake name."

Tang Shaoyang remembered that Roman said that he was one of the twenty S Rank Adventurers from the Karian Guild. If a new S Rank Adventurer showed up, the other factions would start spying on him, and that was the last thing he wanted.

"I did not consider that, but it's the same, no? Eventually, you will raise your rank to S Rank, and your rise will catch the attention of the other factions. In this scenario, I can say that you are my disciple or even my nephew. The other factions will become even more suspicious if they discover a strong G Rank Adventurer." Gortham felt like giving the S Rank would be more appropriate than starting it from the lowest rank. They just needed to fabricate a convincing background.

"I can help give an opinion as a third party, but I need to know the real situation, Guild Master." Eril participated in the conversation, asking Gortham for more explanation of the current situation.

Gortham had a high trust for Eril. He told the general situation with not much detail like Tang Shaoyang was the person being hunted by the God Rank. He told her that he needed a new identity to hide from someone, and the guild would help Tang Shaoyang.

"I don't mean to disrespect Sir Ying, but may I know your opinion on how strong Sir Ying is, Guild Master?" Eril was careful, making sure that her words were not offensive to Tang Shaoyang. "I don't mean to investigate Sir Ying, but accurate data is needed to create a convincing story."

"This guy is Ancient Rank, and he asked to lower the rank to the lowest? It will be more suspicious, no, Eril?" The old man made a gesture with his thumb, pointing at the young man. "On top of that, he easily beat Roman and Lulu."

Eril showed emotion on her face for once, shocked that the young man was Epic Rank and managed to defeat two S Rank. While both were of a lower rank than the young man, defeating the famous duo of Karian Adventurer Guild easily was not something that was easily achieved even for Ancient Rank.

The female attendant quickly got her composure back and caressed her chin. After a while, she came up with an idea. "Since Sir Ying is an Ancient Rank, it will make sense if Sir Ying is S Rank. People will get suspicious, including our people, if an Ancient Rank is G Rank Adventurer. As for your background, we can say that you are the promising adventurer from Akasian that recently joined the main branch instead of telling people you are the Guild Master's disciple or nephew. Sir Ying will catch more attention from the other factions if we tell people that Sir Ying is related to you, Guild Master."

Gortham had a proud expression after hearing his secretary's idea. His face was saying, 'How is it? My secretary is smart, right?'

"That's much better, but what's Akasian? I need to know what it is in case some people are asking me…." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. "There's no need for that. I just need to show that I am not approachable. Let's go to meet the blacksmith you are talking about, Guild Master Gortham."

Eril and Gortham led Tang Shaoyang to the guild's smithy and introduced him to a bulky and tall man. The man was almost two meters tall, wearing sleeveless clothes showcasing his bulky muscle and a leather apron as his protective gear. The man remained in his seat, enjoying his tobacco even though the Guild Leader came for him. The other blacksmiths came over and greeted Gortham respectfully, but not this one.

The man pushed out the smoke from his mouth, giving a glance from the corner of his eyes. He let out a sigh and put aside his tobacco. "What trouble you bring me this time, Old Gorth?"

Gortham waved his hand. "Ai my friend, I never bring you trouble, but a customer." He gestured toward Tang Shaoyang. "Let me introduce you to our 21st S Rank Adventurer, Ying. He's our new rising star from Akasian, and he needs your help with a new weapon."

The word S Rank Adventurer caught everyone's attention in the workshop. Everyone looked toward Tang Shaoyang, including the blacksmith that Gortham introduced to Shen. The bulky man scanned Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom as Gortham came closer and whispered. "I can say that he is in the top five if not top three S Rank Adventurer; he is Ancient Rank. I can say that he is our secret weapon, so please accept my request."

"I can accept the request, but we don't bring many materials with us to the tower. The best thing I can make is Grade A equipment for now, if you don't mind, Ying." The recommended blacksmith agreed to the request.
