Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Miss at the counter, you are still on duty so late..."

"It's just a coincidence. Normally I work during the day, but my colleague had something else to do today, so I took over the night shift for her."

When she saw Kato Megumi, the lady at the counter had some impression of her. After all, when she registered her, this girl had saved a new member of the team. And later, because of the provocation of that idiot Hughes, she got the Jade Badge, which immediately proved that she had solid strength.

Although the girl used props to defeat Hughes and get the badge at that time, Hughes would often emphasize that the girl's strength would not be enough without the props. However, what happened in the morning proved that Hughes was wrong. The girl herself had certain strength, and the statement that she was a newcomer who could only use props was naturally refuted.

Furthermore, Hughes initially targeted the girl because of herself, so the counter girl had a deep impression of the girl.

"Are you here to take a mission? The better missions have been taken when they were released during the day. If you want to get a good mission, you can come back tomorrow morning."

The lady at the counter kindly reminded that there are often confused newcomers who come to take tasks in the afternoon or evening, but most of the tasks that are left are not cost-effective. The lady at the counter thought that Kato Megumi was the same, so she reminded him.

"Thank you for your reminder, but I'm not here to accept a mission, I'm here to hand it in..."

"A301's bounty mission, I want to hand it in..."

"A mission starts with A? Wait a minute, let me take a look..."

The lady at the counter looked at Kato Megumi in surprise, and then flipped through the task booklet in her hand. Tasks starting with A are basically special tasks, so she was a little surprised.

Soon, the lady at the counter found the mission that Kato Megumi mentioned, which was a bounty mission.

"A301's people, capture the Haas and Hatton brothers, regardless of life or death..."

"The conditions are: 300 gold for a living person, 200 gold for a head."

"The additional condition is to rescue the animals and humans that have been trafficked, and the specific reward depends on the situation."

After reading the task in detail, the lady at the counter asked.

"Are you sure it's this mission? It's true that you don't have to accept a bounty mission in advance... but you must provide the necessary evidence when you hand it in."

"Yeah... I'm sure."

Nodding, Kato Megumi did not hesitate and directly threw out the two people, Haas and Hutton, from the space.

Faced with the two unconscious people, the lady at the counter carefully determined their identities based on the bounty portrait in her hand and her own judgment.

"It was indeed Haas and Hatton. I didn't expect that Miss Kato Megumi, you are so capable that you actually completed this task..."

"You should know that the most powerful thing about these two people is not their strength, but their ability to hide, as well as the items on their bodies. It is an honor for the Adventurer's Guild to have adventurers of your strength..."

As soon as the counter lady made her judgment, Kato Megumi immediately felt a pair of fiery gazes gathered in front of her, staring straight at her.

She looked around without leaving a trace. The adventurers who were talking loudly just now stopped what they were doing and stared at her with burning eyes, with curiosity, interest and determination...

"Cough, cough cough"

As the counter lady coughed a few times, the eyes fixed on Kato Megumi suddenly decreased a lot. Then the counter lady gently knocked the bell in front of the table. Soon, two seriously dressed men came out from the back door of the guild and dragged Haas and Hatton, who were lying on the ground, into the inside of the guild.

"Ms. Kato Megumi, you have done a great job. Here are your gold coins. Do you want to store your mission rewards or take them all out?"

"Well... take it out..."

"Okay... please take inventory."

The bag of gold coins was handed to Kato Megumi, who put it directly into the space after taking it. She did not hide her intention from others by doing this. Naturally, those around her who were a little concerned also confirmed the previous news about the bounty order. It was said that the brothers Hatton and Hass had a storage space that could hide living things.

For a moment, the people staring at this side suddenly became jealous.

That's a storage space... Ever since the inheritance of ancient magic was cut off, this kind of space that can store things is like a teleportation array. The production techniques and skills have long been lost. Although people don't know why the inheritance was cut off, it is undeniable that this kind of storage space is becoming less and less, and can basically only be obtained from the ruins.

No wonder the people around were drooling. Even the big powers didn't have much storage space!

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 78 Chapter There are always people who look down on others

Kato Megumi naturally knew about the covetousness of the people around her. The Adventurer's Guild had regulations that, except for the materials and objectives required for the mission, everything obtained outside of the mission would belong to the adventurer who carried out the mission.

The bounty mission for Haas and Hatton clearly requires only the person themselves as evidence, and does not require anything else. In other words, the spatial objects and everything on the two people belong to Kato Megumi. This is why the people around are always keeping their eyes on Kato Megumi.

Of course, this also has something to do with her taking the initiative to expose it.

However, this was all within Kato Megumi's expectations. During the handover and inspection just now, the lady at the counter had mentioned these things to her. She also understood the other party's intention of not revealing their wealth, but in the end she still chose to display it openly.

There are many reasons. First, she already has a space with many weapons inside. The existence of this space can give her a reason to store and access weapons in the future. After all, she will have to use the space in the future, and she can't keep hiding it.

Secondly, her current identity is the saint of the temple. Because of her identity, he is not afraid of other people's ill intentions. After all, one has to think twice before taking action. It is always better to express it directly than to have others guessing and playing tricks behind your back.

Thirdly, the rules of the Adventurer's Guild are there. Once someone steals the treasure, they are basically dead once they are discovered. Moreover, after those girls are released, the things in the space will still be exposed, so it is only a matter of sooner or later.

Although most people here seem jealous, those who can become adventurers usually have their character checked, not to mention other things. Every time they are promoted, there will be a priest of fairness and justice to conduct a polygraph test, so those with bad intentions will basically be eliminated, of course, it is not absolute.

However, most people would not do something like robbery, and a few people would be jealous but would not do anything; but what to do if they want it too much? If they can't do it, they can always make a trade, right?

Then people started to come over and offer bargaining chips to Kato Megumi.

The first to come was a handsome brown-haired man who looked to be in his twenties, with a fair face and eyes full of pride.

"I thought it was just a rumor that those two pawns, Haas and Hatton, had space on their bodies. I didn't expect that they really had space. I guess the storage space on your body must have come from them!"

"Valen, what are you going to do? You should know that the Adventurer's Guild does not allow the robbing of private property..."

Seeing that Kato Megumi was in trouble, the counter lady warned.

"How could I do such a thing~ Beautiful counter lady, how could you think of me like this~"

The brown-haired man smoothed his hair complacently and threw a wink to the lady at the counter, receiving a complicated expression from her that was hard to describe.

"So what are you doing!?"

"Of course I am doing some business that will affect this lady's life..."

Valen just waved his hand behind him, and immediately his follower ran up and threw the half-person-high bag behind him to the ground.

With a snap, the heavy bag was opened, and the golden coins inside leaked out! The people around couldn't help but exclaimed.

"grass" (a type of plant)

"What a generous sum! There must be tens of thousands of coins!"

"As expected of the Ster family, they are rich. They actually have so many gold coins."

Looking at the envious eyes of the people around him, Watt's expression became even more proud. These gold coins were originally intended to be stored in the Adventurer's Guild. This was the task assigned to him by the family. He did not expect to encounter such a precious thing as storage space. In comparison, the gold coins seemed not worth mentioning.

"How about this? As long as you sell the space to me, this bag of gold coins will be yours, and you won't have to worry about the hardship of life in the future... This is such a wonderful thing! Don't you want to experience what it means to enjoy yourself?"

Valen thought he would see the other party's excitement and then happily accept the deal. However, Kato Megumi didn't seem to give him this face. Instead, she blinked and rejected it decisively.

"Hmm... I think you may have misunderstood. I am not short of money, and I don't plan to sell the storage space... You should... take this bag of gold coins back."

"what!?"

"How could you disagree!"

Valen simply couldn't believe that there was anyone who could resist the charm of money.

"Haha, the little girl is right. How can a precious treasure like storage space be measured by money?"

However, before he could argue, Valen was suddenly knocked off balance and almost fell to the ground.

The sudden collision made Valen, who was supposed to be entangled, angry. He subconsciously wanted to scold the person who bumped into him. However, when he saw that figure, he was immediately dumbfounded and closed his mouth in fear.

Because the person in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend. The person who bumped into him was the guild's famous senior swordsman, Anhor, who was very powerful and had outstanding abilities. It was also said that he had killed a dragon.

Meeting such a person, Aaron naturally did not dare to confront him head-on and could only suffer in silence.

Anhor looked at Valen, who dared not say a word, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone wants ancient relics. This swordsman has also opened his eyes. There are things in this world that are better than money, and that is knowledge and ability."

As Anhor spoke, he looked at Kato Megumi, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Money is nothing. As long as you have enough ability, you can have as much money as you want. Little girl, as long as you give me the storage space, I will allow you to become my disciple and teach you the most powerful swordsmanship in the world. Isn't it more cost-effective than getting a sum of money?"

"Besides, as my apprentice, you will naturally receive benefits. What do you think, little girl..."

As soon as Anhor said this, the eyes of the people around him focused again. A senior swordsman as a mentor! What a great benefit this must be. Apart from anything else, this identity alone is enough to attract many people to flatter him.

You have to know that Anhor is often not seen. He is always hunting various powerful monsters in the depths of the forest. As a high-level swordsman, he is very famous in the Adventurer's Guild. It is simply astonishing that such a person would offer to take him in as a disciple.

How could a storage space be as cost-effective as having a senior swordsman as a mentor! Although that kind of thing is precious, it is far less cost-effective in the hands of an individual than in the hands of a powerful master. There is no need to think about the answer.

In an instant, the Adventurer's Guild was filled with sour looks.

However, not everyone thought so. At least the two people who knew Kato Megumi's identity looked gloating about it.

"I didn't expect Anhor to be such an arrogant person. I used to admire him."

"Yeah... I didn't expect that at all."

Does the Saint need a mentor like you? You are not even qualified to be a mentor to the Saint! Any of the Judgment Knights in the temple are quite capable, so why do they need a high-level swordsman like you? Aren't you just asking for trouble...

As expected, under the two people's gloating, Kato Megumi decisively refused.

"Sorry... the storage space is of some use to me..."

Anhor's face suddenly turned bad. After being famous for a long time, he rarely met people who rejected him, let alone people who refused to take him as their master, which made him lose face.

Maybe this girl is short-sighted and doesn't know what's going on! After finding an excuse on his own, Anhor patiently tried to persuade Kato Megumi again.

"Little girl, I think you may not know what you are rejecting. I, Anhor, am one of the most powerful swordsmen in the Adventurer's Guild. I have killed the Vicious Poison Ape, the Flame Tiger Ape, and injured the Crystal Iron Dragon. I am ranked among the top ten swordsmen in the Adventurer's Guild. Are you sure you want to reject my proposal?"

Looking at Kato Megumi who was completely indifferent, Anhor spoke earnestly.

"You have to know that the storage space only has the function of convenient storage. It is useful for powerful adventurers, but almost useless for newcomers. Using it to exchange for the protection and teachings of the powerful is a great opportunity. Don't miss it, little girl."

Looking at the man in front of her with a look of pity on his face, Kato Megumi was speechless. Was she that stupid? And did she say she became a swordsman?

So she shook her head gently.

Anhor's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone became somewhat impatient. He sent a sense of pressure towards Kato Megumi, as if he wanted to teach her a lesson.

"Little girl! Don't regret it!"

However, before Kato Megumi could feel anything, a powerful pressure suddenly appeared and offset Anhor's pressure, and even counterattacked and pushed the opponent back several steps.

At the same time, a crisp but somewhat wanton voice came from outside the door.

"Oh? Regret? Regret for what... What are you going to do to our Saint? Anhor..."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 79 Chapter Face slapping in progress

Klina, with her unbridled red hair, strode in from the door. Her red eyes were dazzling, the corners of her mouth were curled up, and the armor on her body was shining brightly under the light.

Along with her were the knights behind her. The orderly footsteps of them echoed all around, carrying a sense of solemnity and sacredness.

Seeing that Krina finally came over, Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief.

But Anhor did not notice Klina's address, but all his attention was on the opponent's cold counterattack and provocation just now. His face was ashen and he looked unhappy.

"Clina!? Why are you here? As far as I know, the Knight of Judgment is the epitome of fairness and justice! Are you going to snatch my storage space too? This is the Adventurer's Guild, not the Temple!"

Anhor took the initiative and spoke aggressively. From the beginning, he labeled Klina as an interfering person and linked her behavior to the temple. He understood that as long as he stood on the side of justice, even the Knight of Judgment could not act recklessly.

Thinking of this, Anhor slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

However, unlike what he expected, Krina did not glance at him or show any concern for his behavior, nor did she make any excuses. Instead, she looked around as soon as she stepped into the door, then restrained her smile and walked towards Kato Megumi with a serious face.

When I came in front of Kato Megumi, I saw her half-kneeling with her left fist clenched in front of her chest, and her flamboyant red hair slowly falling down.

"Your Majesty... Judgement Knight Klina has come here in compliance with your instructions. Please give us your instructions..."

Her behavior caused an uproar and stunned the people around her.

Saint! ?

Are they hallucinating?

Not only the onlookers, but even Valen and Anhor were speechless, and they all looked at the pretty and lovely but ordinary girl in front of them.

This girl is actually a saint! ?

Thinking of this, both of them looked unhappy...

You should know that all the saints in the temple are powerful, such as the Sword Saint who killed the Demon King, and the saints are rich enough to rival a country, and their territories are also rich and prosperous.

Who could have imagined that the ordinary girl in front of him was actually a saint from a temple... Whose saint would look like this! ?

Although the girl in front of me is very cute and gentle, she looks so ordinary no matter how I look at her.

She has neither that kind of sacred and pure temperament nor that kind of unforgettable appearance, and her strength does not seem to be that strong. No matter how you observe her, you will feel that she is just an ordinary girl next door. This made Anhor feel upset for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he was even more frightened.

How powerful must a saint be to be so ordinary and yet still be unable to detect her details? Is this the legendary return to nature?!
