Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Chapter 61: Crisis and Test, The Branch President's Shock

In the corridor, the dim candlelight illuminated the girl's face, which was slightly flushed from running.

Sanhua was still wearing the green and white uniform of a guild receptionist, and she was breathing heavily.

"Captain Bromman sent back a distress signal? What exactly is the situation?"

Leo looked solemn.

Yesterday morning, the Goblin Extermination Squad had just left Baihe Town, saying they were going to carry out a mission to eliminate goblins.

It was only the evening of the second day when a distress signal was sent back?

Could it be that they encountered another individual goblin leader?

This thing is extremely rare. Captain Goblin Slayer's luck is just too good, isn't it?

As the lowest-level monsters, goblins have a high probability of mutation, but most of them, once they mutate into elite individuals, cannot continue to exist. A leader is a rare sight, appearing only once every ten years.

The heaving of Sanhua's chest gradually subsided, and she took a deep breath: "Just now, I was about to leave work when I suddenly received an emergency distress signal."

"They say a terrible monster has been discovered in the mines of Blackrock Village, and they urgently need support, at least several Iron-rank adventurers."

"His Excellency Sekoda and His Excellency Gus, who are still stationed in the town, have accepted the commission and set off to provide assistance."

"Mr. Leo, I know you have a good relationship with Captain Gomez, so I came here to tell you about this."

"If you have any other Iron-rank adventurers you can contact, please ask them to come and provide support as soon as possible."

Is the situation that critical?

It actually requires multiple Iron-level adventurers?

What exactly did Captain Goblin Slayer encounter? It shouldn't have happened from just a goblin leader.

In the battle of Flower Stone Village, if it weren't for the need to protect Flower Stone Village, the three members of the Goblin Slayer Squad could have retreated even if they couldn't defeat the Goblin Leader.

Now that Captain Goblin Slayer has learned his lesson from the Dark Mutation, he is certainly well-prepared and will be more adept at defeating goblins.

Leo frowned.

The only Iron-level adventurers he knew were Sekoda and Guts, and the two had already gone to provide support.

Miss Sylvia is a higher-level Bronze-rank adventurer, but she has also left White River Town and her whereabouts are unknown.

The only person he could think of to provide support was himself.

He has now become a [Warrior], and has upgraded his equipment, greatly increasing his combat power. He believes that his head-on combat ability is not much inferior to Guts'.

They might even have an edge because they possess expert-level skills.

At the same time, he also urgently needs to contribute points.

Both morally and logically, he should have participated in the rescue.

Leo glanced at Sanhua and Siye beside him, as if he was about to say something.

The maid noticed Leo's gaze and pursed her lips. "Mr. Big Radish, the banquet isn't urgent. I'll explain to Mother. You can go ahead and attend to your business."

Although she felt a sense of loss that she couldn't explain, Yotsuba knew even more clearly that Captain Gokumeji's urgent request for help was far more important than a dinner party.

Leo looked at the maid, noticing her head bowed and her hands tightly gripping the hem of her dress.

He gazed at her intently for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Then I'll trouble Miss Yotsuba to explain this to Madam."

"I will personally visit you to apologize afterwards."

When preparing a banquet to entertain guests, the ingredients aside, the sentiment behind it should not be overlooked.

Sanhua also glanced apologetically at her younger sister. As the guild's receptionist, she had no time to rest in the face of such a sudden emergency and had to work overtime.

And so, the two of them rushed to the guild, one after the other.

Yotsuba stood at the top of the wooden stairs, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, silently praying in her heart.

……

"Mr. Leo, do you have any other way to contact other Iron-rank adventurers?"

As they left the Wild Boar Tavern, Sanhua asked urgently.

Leo glanced at her, his brows furrowing slightly. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't care less about anything else. After saying "Excuse me," he picked her up in a princess carry amidst the girl's exclamation and rushed towards the guild.

Miss Sanhua is just an ordinary person; she runs too slowly.

As he sped along, Leo replied, "...Yes, I also know a Black Iron-level adventurer."

The receptionist, held in his arms, felt her heart pounding. The wind rushing past her ears lifted her hair, causing it to flutter in the breeze.

She wanted to say something more, but at that moment, she couldn't utter a single word.

Leo arrived at the guild very quickly.

After being put down, Sanhua quickly tidied herself up before walking briskly to the counter.

Seeing Leo walk up to the counter, Sanhua blinked, somewhat puzzled: "Mr. Leo, what's this for?"

In her mind, since Mr. Leo had a way to contact other Black Iron adventurers, the most important thing to do now was to contact them, not to come to the counter.

It's not like I'm accepting or settling a commission... wait a minute!

"Mr. Leo, the Iron-rank adventurer you just mentioned knowing, you weren't referring to yourself, were you?"

The girl's eyes were filled with astonishment.

……

"No!"

On the top floor of the guild building, in the branch leader's office.

Lucas refused in a solemn and serious tone.

Seemingly realizing he had been too harsh, he softened his tone, looked at the young man in front of him, and said softly, "Leo, I know you have a close relationship with Captain Ge Mie and are eager to save people."

"But this mission is different from the past. It is extremely dangerous. Even reserve professionals, even those with a record of completing Iron-level commissions, do not have the ability to accept it."

His tone softened: "Leo, you participated in the mission to defeat the ferocious wolf not long ago, so you should be well aware of the power of challenging monsters."

"This emergency rescue request may involve multiple challenging monsters, and the mortality rate for reserve professionals will be very high."

"So, you should just give up."

"The guild will do everything in its power to try and rescue them."

Leo looked at the branch president in front of him.

This was the first time he had met the leader of the Adventurers' Guild in White River Town.

It was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

The middle-aged man in front of me wasn't very old, but his temples were already graying, and he looked like he was overworked.

Even so, he still gives the impression of a black bear curled up in front of a desk, exuding a strong aura.

This is a very powerful professional.

Leo let out a soft breath, his tone calm: "President, what would it take for you to persuade me to accept this commission and go to provide support?"

Lucas's face was tense, and his brows were furrowed.

The Goblin Squad's urgent request for help was unexpected.

As the branch leader, he cannot leave without permission. If a powerful monster were to launch a sneak attack while he is away from the town, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Such things have happened before in history.

Considering the impact of [Darkness], Lucas has requested support from the provincial branch, but these supporters are still on their way and will take some time to arrive in White River Town.

Now is the most awkward period for Baihe Town.

Lucas understood Leo's feelings, but as the branch leader, he needed to consider the safety of the adventurers.

The hallmarks of a professional are their professional mark and their iron body, but unlike the etheric elemental power of the bronze rank, these two abilities are difficult for outsiders to discern unless actively activated.

Is Leo a professional?

Lucas thought it was almost impossible.

How long has he been practicing breathing techniques?

But Lucas didn't blame Leo; he knew that Leo was just being overly concerned.

In this situation, rather than verbally stopping him, the best approach is to let him personally experience the huge gap between himself and professionals, so that he can recognize his own limitations.

Lucas stood up. His nearly two-meter-tall frame alone exuded a powerful sense of pressure: "It's very simple."

"See the hardwood sword on the weapon rack in the corner?"

"Use this sword to prove to me that you have skills comparable to a professional, and I will agree to your request."

Leo smiled.

Without saying a word, he walked over and took down two hardwood swords from above.

He handed one of the two to the branch president, and held the other in his hand.

"President, is it over here?"

"This is fine."

"it is good."

Leo let out a soft sigh and looked at Lucas, who was a head taller than him, and said, "President, excuse me."
