Tim Town.

Adventurer's Guild.

The bustling hall was filled with countless adventurers selecting their tasks.

Beside it was a reception room for clients with specific needs.

Evaluators assessed the difficulty of tasks.

One star was the easiest, ten stars the hardest.

Task prices were negotiated based on difficulty.

Once both parties agreed, the task would be posted on the hall's display board.

The guild took a 20% commission for daily expenses, leaving 80% for the adventurers.

Of course.

There were also long-term tasks here.

Such as collecting herbs and materials from various demonic beasts to make weapons or tools.

There was also a dedicated agency that regularly purchased various ores here.

Tim Town was designated as a Novice Sanctuary by the Adventurer's Guild.

All adventurers below level 10 in the vicinity had to hunt monsters and complete tasks here.

Unless there were special circumstances, adventurers above level 10 were not allowed to hunt here.

Of course.

If there were special circumstances, the guild would handle them accordingly.

For example, a recently arrived adventurer squad, all already at level 20.

They wanted to take on tasks here.

And their task was to exterminate all the goblins.

Tim Town's Adventurer's Guild Master, Big Beard Vibru, was a hundred times unwilling.

But they had letters of introduction from the Kingdom Headquarters and the Kingdom Authority.

They even offered to share half the commission as compensation, yet he still refused.

Though no one liked goblins, they were the ideal practice targets for novices.

Firstly, their attack power wasn't high, and secondly, they had some intelligence.

They greatly trained novices' reflexes and combat thinking.

If you kill all the goblins, how will I train the newcomers I receive?

Vibru descended the stairs with a worried expression, looking out the window with a deepening frown.

Have these guys really been gone so long, intending to wipe out all the goblins in the Kela Great Forest?

It's been days, don't they need supplies?

Just then.

The wooden door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, creaking loudly.

Four powerful adventurers walked in, one of them even a magician.

Instantly, they drew everyone's attention.

"Look, it's them!"

"That's the squad sent by the capital's Adventurer's Guild, all at level 20!"

"I heard they plan to kill all the goblins..."

"Huh?"

"What are they carrying? It looks like a body!"

"Damn... could they have encountered a large monster beast and lost one of their own?"

"Impossible!"

"There are no high-level monsters here, even if there were, the five of them at level 20 should have been able to escape, how could one die?"

"But what's in that bag is clearly a body..."

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

"I think it's a rare monster they hunted, brought back to sell..."

"That could be possible too..."

The adventurers murmured among themselves, much like a village gossip brigade.

The four could naturally hear their whispers, and Carlos's face grew darker, ready to draw his sword.

But the next moment, Ronald grabbed his wrist.

"It's not their fault, let's find Vibru first, we'll deal with the rest later," Ronald said solemnly.

Carlos finally nodded, his eyes sweeping over to see Vibru striding towards them.

As the guild master, his experience was unparalleled.

Seeing the four's expressions and the bag in their hands.

The body inside was very similar in size to the missing team member.

He was both shocked and curious, and a bit incredulous.

So he hurried over and took them to the backyard.

Unwrapping the bag, Theodor's body was revealed, with his entire skull missing.

His face was unrecognizable, a horrific sight!

"What... what on earth happened?" Vibru's face changed dramatically, his big beard trembling.

Carlos sat dejectedly on a bench, silent.

Ronald was the same, unable to speak.

Finally, it was the expressionless Tilimus who spoke without any emotion.

"We were attacked by a strange goblin, who rallied over 2000 demonic beasts."

"And it could use archer skills, we were a bit careless and caught off guard, resulting in this..."

Vibru looked at Tilimus in shock, full of disbelief.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke!"

Vibru shouted angrily, "This joke isn't funny at all!"

Tilimus looked speechlessly at Big Beard, knowing he wouldn't believe it.

Camia took a deep breath and said very seriously, "Guild Master Vibru, we're not joking with you!"

"This is the absolute truth!"

"You all conspired to deceive me? Am I that easy to fool?"

"I know exactly what's in the Kela Great Forest!"

"There's nothing there that could harm you, let alone a goblin."

"Utterly ridiculous!"

Camia was also speechless, only able to look at the other two.

Ronald finally said helplessly, "Guild Master, we swear on our honor, we're not lying to you!"

"We were ambushed by a goblin, Theodor was shot dead by that goblin."

"Fabricate!"

"Keep fabricating!"

"I want to see what kind of story you can come up with."

Vibru just didn't believe it.

Ronald was also speechless, helplessly looking at Carlos.

"Captain, you should say something, otherwise the guild master won't believe us!"

Carlos took a deep breath, just about to speak when a pretty receptionist rushed in.

"Guild Master, there's an important guest!"

"What important guest? Can't you see I'm busy!"

Vibru was a bit angry.

With such a big incident, a teammate dead, these guys still had time to joke with him.

Absolutely infuriating!

The receptionist was startled, quickly saying, "Um, the capital's guild master's secretary personally accompanied them..."

"What?!"

Vibru was shocked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He quickly rushed out.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and say to them, "First, cremate your teammate's body, we'll talk after you settle everything!"

With that, he hurried off.

Carlos and the others exchanged glances, letting out a long sigh.

They knew.

No one would believe such a story.

As expected!

Vibru rushed to the hall, indeed seeing his superior.

The secretary of the Ulte Kingdom branch of the Adventurer's Guild, Carliel, was there with a mysterious person.

Vibru dared not be negligent, quickly going up to greet them.

"So it's Lord Carliel, apologies for not welcoming you sooner!"

"You could have just used a magic tool to notify me, why come in person?"

Vibru was all enthusiasm.

Carliel adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, looking at him strangely.

"When did you become so polite, old man? Did you get into trouble again and want me to fix it?" Carliel said coldly.

"How could that be!"

"I've always been law-abiding, strictly following guild regulations, what trouble could I cause?"

Vibru looked embarrassed.

If she found out a level 20 adventurer had died.

The floating red flag this time might not be kept.
