"Brinan! Look at that suspicious-looking figure in the corner of the house across the way. Is that the Goblin High Priest standing there?"

"Broken Arrow" looked in the direction Linse had indicated.

"That's impossible, how could goblins appear in a place like this?"

"What are you looking at?" "Goat" turned around.

"Uncle, you stay here for now, let's go take a look."

The two walked through the crowd and arrived in front of the house.

The small creature in front of them, with its back to them and seemingly staring at something in its hand, was completely unaware that Linssey and his companion had already approached.

Linsel opened the panel and revealed the other party's identity.

[xxx, Goblin, Health: 40/40, Armor: 40/40 (Disguised as Light Armor)]

So he's a goblin, but the clothes he's wearing are remarkably similar to those of the goblin high priest I saw yesterday.

Judging from the data on the panel, his clothes seem to be good at disguise? I'll have to ask to find out.

"Are you... a goblin?" Linsel asked tentatively. The other person jumped, quickly put away what he was holding, and turned around.

"Two... Bronze-level adventurers, is there something you need?"

Lindsay saw that the other party had a figure and appearance that were extremely similar to those evil goblins, but the nose had grown out by half, which matched the appearance characteristics of goblins in his memory.

"Why are you dressed so much like the goblin high priest who invaded the village yesterday? We almost mistook you for an enemy."

After listening, the goblin gently stroked his clothes, and a few seconds later, the clothes changed color, turning into a gray-white medieval shirt.

"Ah, is that so? This is the special ability of the clothes I'm wearing. These clothes are a strange object; you can think of them as being able to change their shape. But it's best not to have any bad intentions. The size is only suitable for goblins."

The goblin pulled a metal business card from its pocket.

"Can you read, adventurers? This is my work permit."

Linsel nodded to indicate that he recognized some of it. He took the nameplate and looked at it. It was similar to the one on the adventurer's nameplate, with some basic information printed on it.

Special hire for the Adventurers' Guild, Name: Igul, Race: Goblin, Registration Date: Year 344 (Gregorian Calendar)...

Yes, this goblin is a guild employee. This year is 348 in the Gregorian calendar, which means he registered 4 years ago based on his original memories.

"Let me see this too," Broken Arrow said, taking the nameplate. "So you're a guild employee."

"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Igul. I was commissioned by the Wind and City Guild to investigate the battle situation of this goblin extermination mission."

Are you adventurers participating in this mission? If so, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

"Yes, we are," Broken Arrow answered affirmatively.

"I heard a lot of people died on this mission. Do you think the enemy's strength matches the level specified in the guild's mission log?"

"That doesn't quite fit, because the presence of a goblin high priest caused significant losses to the extermination team, and in the end, the enemy was only repelled..."

Lindsay went on to talk about the goblin high priest, including the sudden appearance of vines, the strange illusion spells, and the boulder that appeared out of nowhere.

The goblin Igul seemed to be deep in thought.

"What you've described are indeed spells that the Goblin High Priest can cast. I just spoke with the sheriff and the village chief of Linxi Village."

Such a high-level goblin shouldn't exist in a raiding party; it was an unexpected situation, related to the high-level adventurers in charge of this area.

The sheriff and I will both return to the guild to report the situation, and the guild should punish the high-ranking adventurer and provide you with compensation.

Lindsay understood.

Since that's the case, many seemingly unrelated issues now have a resolution. The punishment has nothing to do with me, but compensation is definitely a good thing.

"Broken Arrow" said, "Would you mind revealing the name of that high-level adventurer? If not, their adventure level will also be acceptable."

Igul shook his head helplessly: "Heh, I don't know either. The information above is tightly locked, but it must be at least a Gold-level adventurer."

"All right."

The goblin Igul changed the subject: "By the way, if it's convenient for you, I'd like one of you to do me a small favor after you return to Linchui Town. It's nothing big, just running errands to deliver something."

"After this is done, I'll give you a rare gift, how about that?"

"What is this strange object?" Lindsay had been curious for a while, so he leaned closer to the "broken arrow" and asked in a low voice.

"Captain, a marvelous item is a prop or equipment with special abilities or functional features."

"Okay, Igul, we'll help you when we get back to Linchui Town."

"Hey, you're a goblin... no, a gnome!"

A young man suddenly stepped out from the crowd and joined the three's conversation; he was none other than Kale, who had just been promoted to militia captain.

After briefly learning about the other party's identity, Kale asked, somewhat puzzled, "Weren't the wooden fences in Linxi Village reinforced by magic? Why were the trolls able to easily damage them with stones?"

"Hehe, I've also investigated this. The so-called high-level mage invited by the village chief of Linxi Village is just an imposter, a fraud. The enhancement magic he cast on you was just a basic stabilization spell."

"Oh? I see..."

Kaller was very frustrated. He turned to Lindsay and the other man and apologized: "I'm sorry, everyone, I provided you with incorrect information."

Lindsay said, "It's alright, the mission is complete, it's all over now. Let's go get some blue mushroom bread later."

……

Linchui Town, early morning at the Guild Tavern.

Unlike before, there were three new faces standing next to the quest board, talking loudly to each other. Two of them were newcomers who had just registered as White Porcelain-level adventurers.

"What does this instruction book say? Can you read it?"

"I can't read either."

"I don't understand either... By the way, I haven't finished registering as an adventurer yet, how do I register?"

"Just go to the guild office and explain it to her, but you need 2 silver coins for registration now, Tangli, haven't you saved enough?"

The young man named Tang Li patted his clothes and said, "I only have a few dozen copper coins, which isn't enough."

"Then you'll have to save money slowly. Saving a few copper coins every day is still saving money. You'll have enough for 2 silver coins in a month or two."

With his companion's reminder, Tangli understood the situation and prepared to leave the tavern.

At that moment, the door of the guild tavern was pushed open, and three adventurers walked in.

Tang Li saw that the first person was a woman with purple hair. She wore tight-fitting leather armor, and although her skin was somewhat dry and wrinkled, she was still quite attractive upon closer inspection.

The other person carried a longbow, had blue hair, strong arms, and sharp eyes.

The third person at the very back gave him a very different feeling.
