Forests Don't Support Idle Goblins

As evening approached, Giethoorn was bustling with activity.

There are two explanations for why this town is called Goat Horn Town: one is that, according to legend, two brothers were being chased by goblins in ancient times. When they ran to this place, they encountered a ram with large horns. The ram killed the goblin with a single headbutt. After that, the two brothers decided to settle here, and they also called this place Goat Horn.

Another explanation is that if you look down from the sky, you will find that the town is symmetrical. The Dallen River runs through the middle of the town, and the working-class area on the east side of the river and the wealthy area on the west side are about the same size. The overall shape is like the head of a ram.

Compared to the spacious layout on the west bank of the river, the working-class area on the east bank was much more crowded, with many outsiders making a living here and supporting the prosperity of Giethoorn.

Nestled against the Nightmare Forest, Giethoorn's main industries are timber processing, furniture manufacturing, and fishing, along with forest-related industries.

This forest-specific industry is mainly related to adventurers, including herb gathering, monster hide and bone processing, selling rare forest items, and goblin ear recycling.

Someone once wrote a book called "The Economics of Ears," which detailed how money was allocated from the kingdom to ear cleaners through bonuses, and then used to pay taxes at various consumer venues. The author also praised the ear cleaners for supporting a large number of affiliated shops, ensuring smooth trade routes, and protecting the surrounding agricultural production.

The Adventurers' Guild of Girth is located in the north of the East River District.

This is a building with white walls and red tiles, covering a large area. There is a small square in front of the gate, where many adventurers discuss team formation. You can see humans, elves, dwarves, and some halflings among them.

Each association square has its own characteristics. In the southern coastal areas, you can see more islanders in the square. Their bronze skin and strong bodies all show the characteristics of berserkers. The further north you go, the higher the proportion of dwarves and the lower the proportion of elves in the association square. Moreover, the northern association square has a special feature - there will always be a tavern next to the square, and there will always be a fight in the tavern. Near the tavern, there will always be a few dwarves drunk.

At this moment, an elven ranger and two human women walked out of the guild's gate.

"That's enough, I'm going to sign up now." The elven ranger adjusted the longbow on his back, looked down at his teammates, and said, "Lila, Luna, are you really not going to sign up?"

"No, Emlyn." Lila smiled and explained, "Uncle Jules wrote to us, telling us to return to Black Lion City immediately."

"That's a pity. If you don't have enough, I can go with you to the forest to kill some more goblins." The elf Emlyn pointed to the registration point surrounded by many people in the distance. "There's still plenty of time before the registration deadline for the Storm Brotherhood. If we work hard, it shouldn't be a problem."

"No, thank you," Lila politely declined. "We're far apart, and the goblins in the forest—"

"They're really that powerful, aren't they? Lila, you've said it many times. I don't deny that large groups of goblins will appear, but we haven't heard of any powerful characters in all this time. They must have been wiped out by the experienced adventurer teams from before." Emlin gestured with his hands, trying to persuade his teammates again.

"Perhaps, but I still want to remind you that the forest is dangerous," Lila said seriously, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.

"Alright, I can't convince you that these days we spent together will be unforgettable memories for me." Emlyn sighed, extending his hand. "I hope that when you return from Black Lion City, I will already be a member of the Brotherhood."

"Good luck, no, I wish you good luck getting back to the Great Dome." Lila smiled and shook hands with him.

"Look, they're fighting over there!" Luna suddenly exclaimed.

In the distance, a dwarf and an elf were locked in combat, their swift swords and double-edged axes clashing repeatedly, while a group of people around them applauded and cheered.

"I'm going to sign up now, goodbye." Emlyn waved and walked away from the battle.

"Sigh, they've all gone mad." Lila watched her teammates' departing figures and asked softly, "Luna, why do you think Uncle insisted that we go back?"

"I don't know." Luna hugged her staff, pouted, and asked, "Sister, what are we having for dinner?"

Lila ignored her sister's question, instead exhaling and looking up at the clouds in the sky. "Father, where are you?"

"It's okay, sister, we'll find it." The younger sister went to Lila's side to comfort her, and a few seconds later asked softly, "What are we having for dinner?"

"I'll have smoked fish rice bowl," Lila said through gritted teeth.

"Can't we eat something better?" Luna grabbed her sister's arm and shook it.

"A feast, a feast! Let's go to the restaurant in Hexi." Lila was being swayed back and forth by the crowd.

"My sister is the best!" Luna exclaimed, hugging Lila's arm.

"What would you like to order?" Mary asked politely.

"I need some healing potions and two bottles of sedative potions," Emlyn said, bowing slightly.

My own needs.

"Are you going into the forest? The forest is especially dangerous at night." Mary skillfully took three bottles of healing potion and two bottles of sedative potion from the shelf.

"No, we don't need to go to the forest yet. I'm still waiting for the selection," Emlyn explained, shaking his head.

"So, you've also signed up for the Brotherhood of Storms? If so, I suggest you buy a speed potion." Mary took out a green speed potion and placed it on the counter. "It will significantly increase your bow-drawing speed and your agility."

"Hmm." Emlyn crossed his arms and thought. Speed ​​potions were indeed good, but they were a bit pricey. With the Lila sisters not around and no front-line or healing classes, he thought it would be better to stock up on more healing potions.

"I heard from other adventurers that the selection process might be a team-based battle mode, and potions aren't prohibited. I think this speed-up potion will definitely boost your combat power," Mary continued her sales pitch, her smile and every move not at all off-putting.

"Team battles?" Emlyn asked Mary, looking at her intently.

"I've only heard about it, and I can't guarantee it. You'll need to make your own judgment," Mary said with a wave of her hand and a smile.

"Hmm?" The elf Emlyn frowned, carefully considering whether he needed a speed potion.

"By the way, our workshop not only recycles used potion bottles, but also offers a buy-10-get-1-free promotion on healing potions. If your team is making a bulk purchase, I suggest you buy 10 bottles directly, so you can get an extra healing potion." Mary enthusiastically introduced the store's promotional plan.

This plan was also decided by Xia Er, and its main focus is on "volume".

"Is it really buy 10 get 1 free?" A monk carrying a book walked in from outside. "If that's the case, can we buy 500 bottles of healing potions?"
