Chapter 74 He's Determined to Be a Goblin Slayer
"Alright, Ms. Phoebe," Roslin shouted, raising her hand.
Phoebe was about to question something, but seeing this, she shut her mouth and took two steps back.
Roseline glanced around and said seriously, "Please allow me to add one more thing. Miss Flora has already stated that she will not be in a relationship. I also know Lin Er. He is very diligent in his cultivation. Their breakthroughs at the same time are the result of their hard work."
Talia nodded in strong agreement, then couldn't help but add, "I can vouch for you in the name of our teacher; my senior brother is completely averse to women."
She had been eavesdropping outside the tent for so long last night, only to find out that the two of them were simply cultivating.
The two were clearly a perfect match, with a passionate connection, and spent time together in that intimate and ambiguous space, yet they didn't engage in any flirting or teasing, leaving her so sleepy she almost fell asleep.
Upon hearing Talia's speech, many of the adventurers present began to whisper among themselves.
"Since they used Mr. Morris as a guarantor, it seems to be true."
"Miss Flora's age is unknown, but Lord Liner looks very young."
"He doesn't seem to be of noble birth. To reach the second rank at such a young age, he must not only be extremely hardworking but also have exceptional talent."
Many people present became quite interested in Lin Er for a while.
Only Luna sneered inwardly, mocking their ignorance.
At this moment, Deacon Roslin raised her voice and said:
"You want to get to know Lin Er? We'll talk about that later. Let's continue discussing the bounty."
After he finished speaking, everyone came back to their senses.
Once the room had finally quieted down, Butler Roslin continued:
"The bounty for this goblin hunt has a two-day deadline. No matter how many goblins you kill, you must return within two days. This is for your safety."
After seeing that no one had any objections, Roseline turned to Lin Er and said seriously:
"Are you sure you want to take this bounty? Let me warn you, this isn't a picnic. If you're careless, people could die."
[The sect elder has issued you a mission: slay the evil spirits at the designated location. For each evil spirit you and your party slay, you will receive 1 low-grade spirit stone. The mission is valid for 2 days.]
Killing a goblin rewards you with a low-grade spirit stone?
Lin Er paused for a moment, then slowly replied:
"I'm sure."
He's determined to be a goblin slayer!
Upon hearing this, Roseline said nothing more, then took out three fireworks from her storage bag and handed them to Lin Er, the Crow Brigade, and the Firestone Mercenary Captain.
"The fireworks I'm giving you are specially made by the dwarves, a specialty of the Blackrock Clan. If you encounter Kolo or his men, be sure to light them."
Lin Er held the firework up to his eyes. It was a black cylindrical paper pulp shell with runes engraved on it and a fuse attached to the bottom. There was a faint smell of gunpowder inside.
The gunpowder smelled strange, and it even had a burning sensation.
Roslinn cautioned, "Don't smell these fireworks too much; they'll hurt your nose."
Upon hearing this, Lin Er put away the fireworks.
"You may now depart, but please be careful."
Roslin gave one last piece of advice.
Lin Er led his team outside, and the captains of the Lin Ya Brigade and the Firestone Mercenaries followed. The three teams had the same goal and could travel together for a while.
Raven-Eye Kayla said, "Lord Lin'er, everyone calls me Raven-Eye Kayla, you can just call me Kayla. This gentleman next to me is the captain of the Firestone Mercenaries, Ironflint Kobas."
They walked and talked, introduced themselves briefly, got to know each other, and their initial interaction was fairly harmonious.
"My specialty is reconnaissance," said Crow-Eye Kayla. "Our three teams happen to have the same objective, so why don't we work together?"
Just as Lin Er was about to refuse, Tie Sui Kobas spoke up first.
"Forgive my bluntness, but the deacon has already said that the goblins are scattered throughout the Misty Forest. If our three teams act at the same time, there probably won't be enough to go around."
After considering for a moment, Lin Er added, "Three teams are too big a target, and I also have my own goals to achieve, so we can't go together."
Crow-Eyed Kayla was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
They chatted for a while longer, but eventually parted ways because their plans for entering the Misty Forest differed.
After watching Lin Er and the others walk away, Crow-Eye Kayla sighed softly.
"It seems like things aren't going smoothly this time."
At this moment, Luna finally spoke.
"Sister Kayla, don't be disappointed. Lin Er isn't as amazing as you think."
Crow-Eyed Kayla was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't you say you weren't familiar with him?"
Luna remained calm and replied, "We're not very familiar with each other, but we teamed up together a while ago, so I know him a little. But it's his privacy, so I can't say too much."
Raven-Eyed Kayla became interested upon hearing this and asked:
"Could you tell me in detail? I promise to keep it a secret."
Luna whispered, "His elemental affinity is actually very low. My father said that he would never be able to break through to the second tier."
"What?" Crow-Eyed Kayla was taken aback. She quickly realized what he meant and muttered, "Does that mean he was lying just now?"
Luna nodded and continued, "However, his control over magic is indeed very impressive, making it relatively easy for him to fight enemies below the second tier."
"I see, then that's a real shame." Raven-Eyed Kayla sighed.
Luna continued, "Sister Kayla, let's forget about that person and hurry up and find the goblins! A goblin is worth 4 coins right now!"
Crow-Eyed Kayla snapped out of her daze and said in a deep voice, "That's true. I kindly invited them to join us, but since they don't appreciate it, they'll regret it when they come back and see what we've got."
……
At the edge of the Misty Forest, a straight trade route winds through the woods, its surface overgrown with withered flowers and grass, and occasionally traces of cart tracks can be seen.
These past few days, due to the extermination of monsters, this already slow trade route is now completely deserted.
Lin Er dared not let his guard down, as the two sides of the trade route were the perfect place for the enemy to ambush, and he had been ambushed once before.
After half a day, the four finally arrived near their destination, where a winding stream came into view. Their journey had been relatively uneventful; they hadn't encountered any enemies.
Lin Er and his group followed the stream, heading deeper into the Misty Forest.
After walking four or five kilometers, the fog thickened slightly, and looking further into the distance, a shimmering body of water appeared.
This marshland stretches for hundreds of meters along its banks, connecting in the distance to a larger lake filled with thick fog that obscures the sky and appears even more dangerous.
"This is where the water element dwells."
Lin Er scanned the area, but the water was obscured by mist, making it impossible to see the specific scene clearly.
Flora had already run ahead when she suddenly crouched down and bent over to examine the marks on the ground.
At this moment, she spoke:
"There are a lot of fresh goblin footprints here, so they must have been active in the area."
Lin Er said in a deep voice:
"Since we're already here, let's kill a few goblins while we're at it."
