Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Leo?"

Looking at the young man before him, Captain Gome's voice also revealed the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Although he was wearing a mask, outsiders could tell from his voice that he must have a smile on his face at that moment.

"Great, Captain, you've finally recovered!" Leo excitedly stepped forward. "Why didn't you let me know you were back? I could have ordered a barrel of the best ale and roast meat from the tavern to welcome you back!"

Captain Gossip smiled and shook his head, the soft armor around his neck making a soft rustling sound: "I also just left the Church of Light this evening."

"There's no need for a welcome feast. I appreciate your kindness. But I've rested long enough. Our team will be leaving Baihe Town first thing tomorrow morning."

leave?

"You're all better now, where are you going?" Leo was taken aback.

Captain Goblin Slayer patted the small round shield on his waist: "Of course, we're going to continue our goblin extermination."

"While I've been resting for so long, I wonder how many more of those filthy green monsters have multiplied and how many villages they've harmed."

"Recently, the guild has received many requests to hunt goblins, and I have accepted them all. I will be setting off tomorrow."

This……

Leo twitched the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that Captain Goblin Slayer was "diligent" or that he "hated goblins like the plague."

In short, the captain is still the captain, just like I remembered him...

"I won't offer any more advice; Miss Cecilia and Brother Hassen have probably already said enough for you," Leo joked. "However, there's something I hope you'll accept, Captain."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ring from his pocket.

"This ring is a special item. When infused with professional power, it allows you to use a secondary healing spell every 24 hours to heal minor injuries and delay moderate to severe injuries."

"Don't refuse. I don't want to hear bad news about you one day. For an impulsive guy like you, having this on you will give you an extra layer of protection."

"At the same time, this is also what I said before, your way of repaying the kindness of saving my life."

Leo tossed the Healing Ring directly to the ground, and the latter caught it instinctively.

After a moment of silence, Captain Goku nodded vigorously: "...Then I'll accept it."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything you need?"

"If you put it that way, there really is one." Leo stroked his chin. "I'm in dire need of Dark Shards lately. If you encounter any Dark Mutant monsters, Captain, try to get me as many as you can within your capabilities."

"I can offer 5 gold coins for each one."

The number of Dark Fragments was much less than he had expected, and Miss Sanhua had not received any new ones recently.

This is likely related to the fact that the professional adventurer team that went out has not yet returned.

Only true professionals possess the strength to defeat challenging monsters.

His ability to kill challenging monsters while being an ordinary person is an exception.

"No problem!" Captain Gomez nodded emphatically.

"There's one more thing," Leo continued. "Captain, you seem to be quite familiar with the Church. I'm currently looking for a job skill that can improve mental attributes, regardless of class. The guild doesn't have this kind of skill, but the Church might. Do you have any connections?"

Captain Goblin thought for a moment: "Sister Caledina of the Church of Light and I have a good relationship. I'll send her a letter tomorrow morning; you can just go see her then."

"But I can't guarantee it will definitely work."

"That's enough." With the channels available, Leo was already quite satisfied.

After chatting for a while, the two said their goodbyes.

Leo shook his head as he watched Captain Ge Mie leave.

He has done what he could.

Everyone has their own path to walk.

Excessive interference in the fate of others often results not in gratitude, but rather in resentment and alienation.

Without further thought, Leo went up to the second floor of the guild.

……

The next day, the rising sun was just beginning to peek through the sky.

Leo, who had already gotten up early to start practicing his skills, turned his head and looked out the window at the three-person team heading towards the town gate on the street.

Captain Goblin, Cecilia the Elf Archer, and Hassen the Dwarf.

"May everything go well for you."

After silently praying for the three of them, Leo withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on practicing his skills.

With the Tempering Potion and Moonlight Dew Potion, he can level up the Bear Breathing Technique to level 3 in a little over a day.

At that time, he will be able to try to become a [Warrior]!

Leo is full of energy.

……

The Silver Moon Forest under the cover of night is both tranquil and eerie.

Deep in the heart of this forest stands a dilapidated building bathed in moonlight.

It resembles a rock formation protruding from the ground, like the top of a stone tower, yet it is neither. The part exposed above the ground has a huge stone door that is slightly open.

A chilly wind blew from the cracks in the stone gate, ruffling the girl's long, greyish-white hair with glowing ends.

Sylvia gazed at the entrance to the Silver Moon Labyrinth ahead.

Around her lay numerous bloodied, fallen monsters. Under the moonlight, the dark patterns on their surfaces appeared ferocious and terrifying.

They were all dark, mutated monsters.

"The quantity is increasing..."

"I am the Silver Swordswoman," she said in a low voice, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

In the central and inner areas of the Silvermoon Forest, near the soon-to-open Silvermoon Labyrinth, there are many dark and mutated monsters, which is not surprising.

The problem is that there are so many dark monsters here, but their numbers decrease drastically in the outer areas.

She hadn't encountered a single one along the way.

This is completely illogical!

It was as if a giant hand hidden in the shadows had wiped out all the dark monsters in the outer areas of the Silvermoon Forest.

However, the outer area of ​​Silvermoon Forest, even just the southern outer area near White River Town, is very large.

Even if each individual creature is powerful, it is difficult to wipe out all the dark monsters in one fell swoop.

Compared to powerful individuals, demonic species that rely on numbers to win are more likely to accomplish this.

They are widely distributed and numerous, and even if they are killed, they can quickly reproduce.

What kind of demonic species in the Silvermoon Forest fits this description?

With a vague suspicion in her mind, Sylvia turned her head and looked in the direction of White River Town.

The next moment, her body seemed to melt into the night and disappear completely, leaving only scattered specks of light in the spot.

……

Heiyan Village.

This is a small village about 20 kilometers from Baihe Town, built near an abandoned mine.

This place used to be rich in a mineral called "black rock". Unfortunately, the overall reserves are not high. As the shallow minerals have been mined out, only the deep areas may still have some black rock ore left.

The input and output were disproportionate, and there were even losses. Gradually, the mine was abandoned.

As dusk fell, the Goblin Squad arrived at the village.

"Those wretched goblins attack the villages. We try to drive them away and chase them, but they always manage to escape into the mines."

"The environment there is complicated, and we dare not go deep inside."

"Adventurers, please help us eliminate these goblins."

After listening to the village chief's story, Captain Ge Mie nodded slightly.

After the three of them rested at a farmhouse, the dwarf Hassen spoke up: "Captain, the number of goblins in the mine may be more than we expected."

"It's possible that a goblin leader will emerge."

Captain Ge Mie nodded: "Very likely."

"Should we prepare more?" Cecilia, the elven archer, asked with some concern.

Last time they encountered the goblin leader, the entire team was seriously injured.

"It's alright." Captain Goblin Slayer shook his head: "The last extermination helped me grow, and now I can exterminate goblins even better."

……

Late at night, Leo, having finished his final round of breathing exercises, let out a long breath.

In order to quickly level up the Bear Breathing Technique to level 3, he pushed himself to the limit tonight and practiced for a little longer.

Although the exhaustion may affect one's condition the next day and reduce the number of times skills can be practiced, the result is still gratifying.

[Bear Breathing Technique Lv.3]!

This skill lies quietly in the skill bar.

With the breathing technique now mastered, Leo has met all the requirements to become a [Warrior].

"Let's begin our work!"

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.
