Ibis took a large stamp from his front drawer. A slight bit of mana infused in to it as her stamped the papers with a thud. Next thing the party knew his papers had burned to nothing. This magical item had disintegrated the papers to send the knowledge elsewhere. "Hmm now the king has a copy, this will be a confidential matter. We will use Clara's notes to produce a doctored report. If everyone knew of the door talismans and an ancient undead lich giving away power every adventurer would run to their death. Basing off of immortal kings temperaments it would most likely play with them all and we would be at a grave loss." Ibis did not want to admit that even he most likely couldn't defeat such a monster. This ancient undead lich could be felled by a Diamond tier adventure party but one that had fused with many souls most likely possessed powers beyond that which was expected.

Clara released an exasperated sigh "we've been watching your progress using my managerial abilities. We received the same notifications you all did as you defeated monsters. With This, we can gather the scope of your ability. With the additional history books, you brought back and even the materials your rank up is more than guaranteed. However since you've all smashed every previous record from any test we had to reevaluate." These five had no idea what they'd put them through. "Now you said you would auction some things off? Does that mean you will have the guild process the excess?" This question was to ascertain if they wasted their time preparing the monster dissection in the basement for their arrival.

"Yes exactly, we should only need five bones and five parts of zombie flesh for each egg. The rest well sell to the guild for processing. We know it won't turn much of a profit however. We also gathered broken and rusty weapons and armors so we will also sell those to the guild. I know there's a partnership with the forge and they will receive these as materials. The ancient gold coins we received we would like to exchange for minted gold coins of our kingdom. Lastly some of the ancient religious accessories we would like to hand over to you and the guild as well. I'm sure they are common but maybe they will be useful for history. Oh! Also I already took the time to read those history books on the trip back here so at a later date I'd like a copy of each to place at the mansions library. If you need help translating anything I can now read the language of the ancient city." Walker unloaded his plans amazing the pair yet again at how thorough he was.

"Yes I'm sure the research devision will be dragging you in to the library as a translator. They might even keep you for the rest of your life." Clara laughed at her joke but knew that it was very much true after seeing that they could spend days without sleep in study. Once they gained traction in a subject it was like fighting the tide.

"Ah yes we especially prepared them for the influx of materials so don't worry about dropping it all off today. It will be nice to put them through the wringer once in a while." An evil glint could be seen in the old mana eyes. He had lost many a bet with the head of the dissection and research divisions and this was a nice opportunity for a little revenge.

After that ibis began sifting through another drawer in his desk. The clinking of metals ever present. "Ha! Found them." He pulled five identical silver plaques from the drawer. "These are your new plates. We would have like to send you directly to gold tier adventurer party but your level is just not high enough to allow you to safely go on gold tier quests. However we have decided that your party should be able to properly handle silver level quests. Your mental fortitude and creativity have given birth to an advanced form of teamwork. We are both very impressed." The party each took a medal not believing the color they saw in their hands. This was insane! They had jumped straight to silver in such a short time.

"Now don't let it go to your heads. You are all still young and easy to target. Not to mention having this tier now along with your title will most likely cause trouble. We will be able to use your title as a deterrent from some but others will say you got lucky and try their luck." Clara's words were out of worry but also out of past knowledge. She had seen parties grow to a new tier a bit faster than others Only to be ambushed or worse by others at the completion of quests causing the party to fall apart or worse.

They all took her words to heart while affixing the knew medals to their person. Once they had done so ibis spoke up, "I understand you may all be tired but you will need to head downstairs with Clara to deal with the basement. After such we will get to work and later release the results to the public as we always do to congratulate those parties. Please take notice of the ranking board downstairs. Your party will now be on the silver bulletin." Ibis was trying to move them along so he could begin creating the doctored test results along with check for a reply from the king. He would not get much sleep tonight.

Clara stood up and with a gesture began leading the party downstairs. After returning to the first floor she lead them to a secondary stair case leading to the basement. The noises of sawing, chopping and even some boiling liquids started to be heard. There were many strange and exotic smells mixing. The party was about to enter the research and dissection division of the guild.
