806: Chapter 806 This is like a pie falling from the sky!

Gis led Caesar into the Magic Swordsman Guild.

He took Caesar through the subsequent registration and procedures, which were all very simple and fast.

Finally, Gis handed Caesar a certified Magic Swordsman medal engraved with Caesar's name.

Caesar took the Magic Swordsman medal.

It was a medal made of gold and some magical metals; the material was high-quality and felt excellent to the touch.

A sword was printed on the medal, surrounded by various elements. On the back was Caesar's name, enclosed within a circular ring.

Caesar was at the top-tier, so there were four rings: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak.

"This thing looks quite high-end," Caesar said, fiddling with the medal he had just been issued.

"After all, it's a certification from the Magic Swordsman Guild, a symbol of status and power; it can't be half-hearted," Gis said with a smile from the side. "Moreover, it can withstand fierce attacks. The higher the Rank, the better the material. After all, you can't have it failing to withstand the strain of a single battle, requiring you to go back to the Magic Swordsman Guild for a replacement every time."

"Although everything is registered and the files are transmitted and recorded via magic, frequent replacements are still a hassle, aren't they?" Gis said to Caesar.

"Mhm," Caesar nodded slightly. With the top-tier Magic Swordsman certification, he could receive a monthly stipend from the Magic Swordsman Guild specifically for top-tier Magic Swordsmen.

Yes, besides official recognition, the certification and registration also granted the status of an "Enshrined Expert" within the Magic Swordsman Guild. Of course, this was only available to those at the Advanced Magic Swordsman Rank and above.

Of course, the money wasn't a lot, but it was more about being able to utilize the resources and power of the Magic Swordsman Guild to obtain what you wanted.

Furthermore, the registration here didn't interfere with anything you did outside.

As long as it wasn't something like being anti-human, generally, there would be no issues.

This monthly stipend could be accumulated; you could withdraw it at any time, and whenever you wanted. Of course, if you didn't withdraw it, no one would rush you.

"Come on, let's go, I'll take you for a drink!" Gis said to Caesar with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder. "The ale brewed at that place is really good! Let's go, my treat, to celebrate you passing the top-tier Magic Swordsman certification exam."

"Sure!" Caesar smiled, not refusing Gis's kindness.

"By the way, those two, Cologne and Ries, they're with you, right?" Gis asked Caesar.

"Yeah, you could say they're friends I've made along the way. From now on, we'll be in Black Stone City together as fellow Enshrined Experts," Caesar nodded slightly, briefly explaining their relationship.

"That's perfect then. Since they're friends, call them along!" Gis said, patting his chest. "The more, the merrier!"

The two Enshrined Experts, Cologne and Ries, accepted the invitation with glowing Faces. The party of four sat in a tavern in Black Stone City.

The two of them indeed gained a lot of Face; after all, it was an invitation from two top-tier Magic Swordsmen!

Although they were also at the top-tier, as the saying goes, top-tier classes equally look down on all other classes.

Whatever other classes can do, a Magic Swordsman can do; what a Magic Swordsman can do, other classes might not necessarily be able to.

Execute first and... no, wait, wrong line.

In short, even though they were all at the top-tier, in Black Stone City, the two top-tier Swordsmen, Cologne and Ries, were normally worlds apart from Gis, a top-tier Magic Swordsman and one of the city's few "top-tier elites."

Let alone them, even the branch president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce in Black Stone City might not necessarily have the chance to meet him.

But now, because of Caesar, Cologne and Ries were sitting at the same table as Gis, drinking together as "friends"!

All of this was thanks to Caesar's Face; those two weren't so arrogant as to think otherwise.

Moreover, Caesar was different now—he was a top-tier Magic Swordsman!

Manager Reed also hadn't expected Caesar to actually pass as a top-tier Magic Swordsman. He had previously thought Caesar was strong and had some skill, and he was taking the Magic Swordsman exam, but he figured that passing as an Advanced Magic Swordsman would already be like finding gold in a stone.

When he learned that Caesar had become a top-tier Magic Swordsman, he was so startled that he immediately stopped what he was doing and maximized Caesar's status as an Enshrined Expert within the Black Stone City branch.

Next, he immediately reported this matter to the headquarters.

Black Stone City had gained a top-tier Magic Swordsman as an Enshrined Expert!

A top-tier Magic Swordsman!

No joke! top-tier Magic Swordsmen were only found at the headquarters, and there were only a handful of them. They only stayed with the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce due to various coincidences and reasons.

As for Master Rank Magic Swordsmen, in an existence as massive as the entire Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, there was only one.

On the other hand, there were several Master Rank Swordsmen and Elementalists.

And what about Black Stone City? In terms of modern cities, at best, it was a third-tier city!

A top-tier Magic Swordsman... this was like a third-tier city suddenly producing a giant river.

It was a place with no capital, no technology, and no talent, yet it had produced a high-tech and sophisticated enterprise, and a top-tier one at that.

Manager Reed was practically dazed by this windfall, like a pie falling from the sky.

Even if he reported it to the branch president and the president took the lion's share of the credit, he was still the one who reported it, and the one who discovered and recruited him.

Could his benefits be any less? He might even be promoted to vice president in one fell swoop! Or perhaps become a branch president elsewhere!

After all, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was expanding slowly and steadily, and there were plenty of cities. When they expanded to a new place and needed to establish a branch, he might be sent there!

These were all benefits!

Fortunately, he hadn't been arrogant before; he had treated people with courtesy.

This was his consistent style, and it was also the main reason for the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's good reputation and large-scale development. They relied on the philosophy that harmony is precious, treating people with courtesy, not looking for trouble but not fearing it either, and being generous with subordinates—preferring to earn less to share the cake.

With such practices, it was no wonder the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce could grow so large and retain top-tier Magic Swordsmen and Master Rank Magic Swordsmen.

They often did charitable deeds, such as sponsoring orphanages and providing free scholarships.

These were all ways to build good karma here and there.

In the short term, it was just throwing money away, but in the long term, it was hard to say. Over the decades, it had indeed brought great returns and long-term support to the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, along with a good reputation!

By the time Caesar and the two Enshrined Experts returned from drinking, it was already dark.

But Manager Reed had been waiting for them to return.

The first thing he did upon their return was to confirm Caesar's Rank as an Enshrined Expert. It had been partially confirmed before, but that was only temporary while waiting for Caesar's certification exam results, which were now out.

So, his treatment had to be decided according to this certification!

top-tier Magic Swordsman!

Maximum benefits!

Caesar didn't care how good the benefits were or what he got compared to others. He glanced at them and decided they were good enough, as long as it didn't cause him to lose Face.

After all, he didn't care about these things; his purpose for coming to this world wasn't to live here or retire.
