"Instructor Rhodes! You've come to take on a mission too?"

Linsel looked at the burly man who pushed open the door and walked into the guild tavern with some surprise.

"Just kidding, but I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule. I've come to the tavern to inquire about someone's whereabouts."

Rhodes turned to the boss, Rayland, and asked, "There's an adventurer who signed up for my training course who hasn't come to the camp for several days. His name is Jerry. Have you seen him?"

The boss shook his head: "She's a newbie, I don't remember her."

"Instructor, I've seen him before."

Lindsay stood up and walked over to Rhodes, lowering his voice to say, "Yesterday I went with the team to fight the Vulture Legion, but unfortunately I didn't make it back."

Rhodes was stunned for a moment.

"Oh...I see. Then it's alright."

He left the tavern, adding before he went, "And Linsel, there are more monsters and monsters in the Twilight Forest lately, so be careful if you go in there."

"It's alright, the two of us will protect him," the goblin adventurer shrieked, then continued to invite other adventurers.

"I'm a newbie who just advanced, can I join your team?" A boy carrying a short bow timidly approached.

"Flat-nosed" looked at the black adventurer's nameplate on the other person's shoulder and asked his companion next to him.

"Isn't he a bit too weak, 'Scarface,' and Lindsay, what do you think?"

"I think it's a good idea, and our team just happens to be short of a back row player."

Linsel nodded. Since the other party was already an Iron-level adventurer, he had no compelling reason to refuse.

After all, he was a newly promoted Iron-ranked adventurer.

"So what's your name?" the goblin asked.

"My name is Kaller..."

After the four of them briefly introduced themselves, Linsel looked at the panels that appeared above each other's heads.

[Kalle, Human, Health: 50/50, Armor: 40/40 (Waistband)]

She seems a bit weaker than Camilla, who uses a shortbow, but having one more person is better than none.

……

The newly formed four-person team left the town and headed towards the location given in the mission log.

"Have you bought the torches and necessary medicines for entering the nest?"

"Okay," Kaller replied.

"That's good, these things are all necessary."

After confirming the information, the goblin adventurer continued speaking, his shrill voice never ceasing throughout the journey.

"Linsey, let me tell you, our [Sharp Teeth] squad has a very long history."

"Does the squad even have a history?"

"Of course there are. To be honest, the [Sharp Teeth] team was founded twenty-three years ago. The team's founder, who was also its first captain, was a Gold-level adventurer."

And I am now the ninth captain of the [Sharp Teeth] squad!

Kaller: "But I feel that this Bronze-level senior, nicknamed 'Scarface,' is the real captain, while you, the Goblin Senior, just seem to be his second-in-command."

"#$^&%! (Goblin swear word)"

"You're wrong, newbie, he really is the team leader."

With a kind smile, "Scarface" continued, "He joined the team earlier, but if the previous team members hadn't died or scattered, he wouldn't have become the captain."

"Go to hell, 'Scarface'! The previous captain, Sam, personally appointed me as the captain of the 'Sharp Teeth' squad at the guild meeting, not you."

Sam? Lindsay didn't remember the old soldier who raised the original owner of this body ever being an adventurer.

This name seems too ordinary; it's probably just a coincidence.

Scarface adjusted his helmet: "Hmph, if Penelope hadn't died, the former captain wouldn't have retired so quickly."

"And who is Penelope?" Caler asked.

"She's the fiancée of the eighth Captain Sam, a Silver-ranked fighter. They were already fighting side-by-side when I joined the team."

But later, in a battle, the captain lost his teammate and beloved... Well, let's not dwell on the past.

The four entered the outer area of ​​the Twilight Forest.

"I've really seen something new today. A squad leader can actually serve a term," Lin Sai said casually as he walked, inspecting the crossbow in his left hand.

"That's normal. The [Sharp Teeth] team was a properly registered team with the Adventurers' Guild, and they had a great reputation more than ten years ago, but now..."

"Flat-nosed" didn't continue the conversation; he changed the subject.

"Linse, I just realized you have such good stamina. Aren't you tired carrying all that gear?"

"Not tired, I've practiced before."

"I can't carry that much stuff. I prefer to travel light, move nimbly across the battlefield, and fire rapidly with a short bow."

Kaller took off his shortbow, bent down, and pretended to aim, which made "Flat-Nosed" laugh.

"Lince, would you be interested in joining the [Sharp Teeth] team?"

"Uh, I'm still thinking about it."

The goblin adventurer patted Lindsay on the waist: "Let me know anytime you've made up your mind."

The bronze adventurer "Scarface," who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Linsey, what happened to your bone plates when we were dividing the spoils yesterday?"

"I sold it," Lindsay said casually.

"You've sold them all?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, "Scarface" sighed.

"Oh, what a pity. Those bone plates can be used to make armor parts. Unlike us, you didn't get just one piece each when the ogre materials were distributed."

He continued, "If I had four bone plates, I could make protective accessories for this tattered chainmail suit I'm wearing. These things can save my life in a critical moment."

"If you want them, I'll redeem them from that merchant later and sell you a few."

"Really?" Scarface hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Linsey, you're a good person."

Following the location specified in the mission manual, the four gradually approached the goblin's lair.

Lindsay also saw a familiar place, the place where he had fought Eric and his sister before.

He could sense a tense atmosphere directly, as if there were enemies around him.

"Everyone, be on high alert." Linsel prepared his crossbow in his left hand and carefully surveyed his surroundings.

"Flat Nose" pulled out two sharp daggers, "Scarface" drew his iron sword, and Kaller took out his bow and arrows; they were all ready.

"There it is!"

As Linsel spoke, he fired a crossbow bolt, which pierced through a clump of trees not far away.

A small green monster was shot in the head with an arrow and fell to the ground!

Goblins again!

"Lince, how did you find out?" Scarface asked, somewhat surprised.

Kale then fired an arrow into the bushes, and another goblin was hit in the arm, causing it to emerge from the bushes and scream in pain.

"Senior, those goblins are so stupid! They're still lurking so close! I saw them too!"

Because Linsel discovered them, the goblins who were lying in ambush were forced to reveal themselves.

There were 11 goblins in total, but Linsel did not see any mutated species.

Without a word, the goblins charged toward Linsel and his companions with their rudimentary weapons.

"Newbie, keep shooting, cover me!"

The goblin adventurer shouted in a hoarse voice, wielding two daggers and charging nimbly.

Seeing this, Linsel quickly took the log shield from his back, grabbed his sword and shield, and charged forward.
