Although it cannot be said that these are completely groundless, such phenomena do exist in a few remote lizardman tribes.

But in fact, most of the lizardmen have long since left that stage and have developed their own unique civilization and kingdom.

Among them, some lizardman nobles are not much worse than the noble lords in the human kingdom.

Everything is done with great care, and even the royal family possesses the secret art of dragon language, the "Spirit of Words", which is an extremely powerful force.

It can be said that lizard people are far more complex than people think, and their intelligence has never been low.

They are just used to being straightforward and rarely engage in intrigue, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.

The race that can survive tenaciously in such a harsh environment and even live well is far more powerful than outsiders think.

In particular, the leaders of each tribe are mostly those with a high degree of atavism and pure blood. The power they possess is also what the world knows as "gold", and they are second-level strongmen.

As for lizardmen like Zariyus who come out to be adventurers, their bloodlines cannot be said to be particularly low, but they are not very high either, and they are just at an average level.

Whether serving as vanguard or rearguard, the lizardmen are extremely trustworthy warriors. Their gifted savage bodies and dragon language secrets make them far more reliable than adventurers of the same class when it comes to defeating monsters.

But on the other hand, due to the prejudices of the human kingdom and the unique values ​​of the lizard people, conflicts in the distribution of rewards are indeed likely to arise.

The lizardmen have always adopted the rule of whoever contributes the most gets the biggest share when hunting. Apart from the portion handed over to the tribe, the rest is decided by the person who contributes the most. If it is robbed, it will be regarded as a provocation and a fight will definitely break out.

Once someone dies, the Lizardmen will most likely be attacked by a group. In some places, the Adventurer's Guild will even condone this situation, creating a very bad atmosphere.

Therefore, in the initial stages of their adventure, many lizardmen either swallow their anger or return to their tribe. Even if they form a team, they mostly form a team with other alien races.

It is really a blessing to meet such a team that has no discrimination and is willing to share the remuneration equally with him.

"But, having said that—our team has only been around for a short time, but we've accomplished a lot!"

Mimiya has a tsundere personality, so although she didn't praise Zariyus directly, she also hinted at it.

"Hmm... After all, given the current situation, everyone is short of manpower. Especially for mid-level adventurers like us, we are the backbone of the team. The guild can only rely on us."

After all, those gold-level adventurers were either transferred to the front line or needed to stay at the border of their respective forces. Free silver-level adventurers like them were already considered the strongest force in the area.

Not to mention the presence of Lady Wendy and the others, it doesn't seem strange that they can handle such a commission that directly threatens the safety of the town.

"However, although promotions are indeed faster than before, there aren't many more familiar faces, and the newcomers seem to be the same..."

Fina secretly glanced at the adventure team at the next table. They were wearing simple adventurer clothes and only equipped with basic protective gear. They were typical newcomers.

The team consisted of a human warrior and a human mage. They both looked depressed and had minor injuries on their bodies. There was even only enough food for one person on the table.

Judging from the look of things, the commissions haven't been completed yet, and they can't even afford the food...

"The current situation is indeed very harsh for newcomers, but since you have chosen to become an adventurer, you must naturally bear the risks."

Mimiya didn't have as much sympathy as Fina. She just took a sip of fruit wine, half-supported her face, and looked at the two dejected people over there.

"After all, being an adventurer is just like that. It's cruel and realistic. It's hard for those without the necessary talent or skills to go far. If you can wake up sooner and go back to find something you can do, isn't that better than dying in vain?"

"—Is this what they call the experience of the elderly?"

San Yueqi found her connoisseur-like tone inexplicably funny.

Generally speaking, this kind of sermon is more suitable for mature adults like Uncle Yang and Ji Zi, but Mimiya looks like a young girl who has not yet grown out of her childishness and is in her prime.

"Of course. I've lived for over a thousand years."

Not noticing the joking tone in San Yue Qi's words, Mimiya just spoke with considerable pride.

"Just listen to the life experiences of the immortals. It will only bring you benefits, no harm~"

"Huh!? Mimiya is actually over a thousand years old?"

San Yueqi, who originally had no idea about the age of his companions, suddenly exclaimed.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You look surprised. Is it strange for an elf to be over a thousand years old?"

"No, no, although I know that elves are very long-lived, but when I see it in front of me, should I say surprise or disbelief..."

San Yueqi twisted the ends of her hair in some distress, with a conflicted expression.

"As for your age, aren't you also a mystery, March?"

Xing said with some malice.

She had heard from March Seventh that he was found in a six-phase ice, and no one knew how long March Seventh had been drifting in the universe before being picked up by the train crew.

From this perspective, it is still unknown whether San Yueqi will live a long life, but it is possible that he is older than everyone present.

"Wow! Don't bring up such sensitive age topics in front of a beautiful girl!"

San Yueqi immediately waved her hands repeatedly. She didn't want to continue discussing this topic that she herself didn't understand.

However, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

After learning about her experience, I was even more amazed.

"The world is so big, there really are all kinds of wonders."

Zarius sighed and spoke to Wendy at the same time.

"By the way, Master Wendy. You said earlier that your archery skills were passed down from the Age of Gods, and that you remembered many lost poems. I wonder if you've ever heard of the legend of the dragon?"

However, Wendy did not answer him immediately. Instead, she was listening to a poem about Goblin Slayer being sung nearby.

"Hmm? Master Wendy?"

Zarius asked again, and Wendy finally reacted. As everyone was looking at her, she touched her head and smiled.

"Ah, sorry. I was listening to my colleagues over there singing psalms and was a little lost in thought. What are you asking me?"

"It's okay. It's me who's being rude."

Zariyus shook his head, listened to a few lines of poetry over there, and then became thoughtful.

"But speaking of this poem, it seems to be about that little devil killer."

"Ghost Slayer? What kind of monster is that?"

Sanyueqi tilted his head cutely, a little confused.

"It's the goblin we encountered earlier."

Dan Heng explained briefly.

"Ah! It's them! I've heard they're very dangerous, but when they actually fight, they don't seem that formidable."

"After all, they are only the lowest level monsters. At best, they can only serve as cannon fodder in the Demon King's army."

Mimiya also spread her hands with a dull expression.

"However, Mr. Goblin Slayer is quite famous in this area of ​​the western border."

When the topic she knew about was mentioned, Fina also joined in the conversation, with a look of pleasure on her face of sharing gossip.

"Did you know? He's the only adventurer who reached Silver rank by killing only Goblins!"

"Is that why it was given this name... Interesting."

Xing pinched his chin, and the other person's outline had already appeared in his mind.

"His existence is indeed very special, and the adventurers' opinions about him seem to be polarized."

Zariyus nodded.

"One person thought he was just seeking fame and reputation, only able to kill low-level monsters like goblins, and would be helpless if he encountered a larger monster."

"What about the other one?"

March 7 asked.

"Hmm... Another view is that even if his talent is limited to killing goblins, he has at least done something that many others haven't. From this point of view, I quite agree with him—"

Zarius was well aware of the morals of those predatory races, especially since he had traveled around the world with a caravan and witnessed many tragic scenes of villages being destroyed by goblins and women and children being abducted.

"Those little devils, if left unchecked, can become a real nuisance. Over here, we occasionally offer bounties on goblins to prevent them from becoming too rampant and destroying the land and attacking livestock."

"When I was in the academy, I also saw several girls who were abducted by goblins. They were all taken back to their nests by the goblins, and then they encountered terrible things..."

When Fina said this, she also showed a somewhat reluctant expression.

"Some of those inside were able to recover, but most lived in a daze. The teachings that taught us said that their souls had been left in that dark cave, and they could never return."

"—While I understand why, does the Kingdom really have no intention of sending out troops to clear out the situation?"

March 7 asked a somewhat naive question.

And Mimiya shook her head.

"It's one thing for the main forces to be dealing with the Demon King's army right now, but wiping out the goblins isn't something we can just talk about. We don't even know where they originate. We only know that if goblins appear in one place, there's a high probability that there are more hiding in the shadows."

"These guys reproduce very quickly, especially once they occupy some unknown ruins. They can quickly grow from a dozen to fifty, and then quickly become a large group of hundreds. As long as there are enough resources around, they will continue to add companions and then start plundering."

Zariyus put down the wine glass in his hand, and his tone was meaningful.

"Besides, the Kingdom is unlikely to proactively eliminate the goblins, whether for economic or political reasons. After all, in the eyes of the bigwigs, it's just a chore for adventurers."

"But adventurers rarely accept these kinds of missions because the rewards are too low and they're easily looked down upon. Only newcomers, lacking experience and money, take them, which then leads to considerable casualties..."

San Yueqi covered his head and gradually understood what was going on.

"Isn't this a completely vicious cycle?!"

"That's true. But realistically speaking, it's impossible to solve the goblin infestation—"

Zarius made a triangular religious gesture in front of his chest and spoke in a compassionate tone.

"Adventurers like us are ultimately profit-seeking creatures. Even if we knew about this, not many of us would want to correct it, let alone persist in it like this Goblin Slayer."

This pessimistic view made San Yue Qi feel a little depressed, and he could only mutter quietly: "This world shouldn't be like this..."

Wendy, on the other hand, took out the goblin extermination commission that he had hidden last time.

"In that case, how about trying to accept this mission? I think this might be a necessary part of the pioneering journey."

Chapter 129: Finally meet, Goblin Slayer!

"Let me see... Is the client also an adventurer?"

March 7 looked carefully at the commission description column, which was written in concise language.

"—You got separated from your teammates due to an accident, so you want us to help you find your companions from the goblin cave?"

When he read this, March 7 frowned slightly and looked at the commission date. It had been a week since the release date.

Mimiya, who had also noticed the details, shook her head pessimistically and said directly, "Although it may be a bit excessive, let's give up this commission."

"Eh? Why?"

Fina said with some reluctance.

"Although it's been a week, maybe those adventurers are still alive?"

"No, if they can make it this far, they probably won't want us to rescue them, but to give them relief directly..."

Mimiya crossed her arms, looking a little helpless.

"Creatures like goblins... well, if a female is abducted, she might have a chance of survival, but a male is certain to die. In other words, this mission is impossible from the start."

"That's right. Judging by the time, the male member likely died on the day he disappeared. As for the other two female members, it's harder to say. While there's a chance they might still be alive, there are rumors that goblins eat women when they get tired of playing with them—"

When Zariyus mentioned this, he also glanced at the pioneers. Everyone's expression was naturally not very good, especially March 7, who seemed a little heavy.

Wendy, the one who proposed the request, remained calm and continued to look at the request.

After this eerie silence lasted for a moment, March 7th suddenly stood up.

She picked up the order and walked towards the counter aggressively. The receptionist looked over here and was frightened by her obvious anger.

Especially after March 7th slammed the commission directly on the table, making a snapping sound, the receptionist felt her heart tremble, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the task commission.

When she saw the words "Subjugation of Goblins", her voice even trembled a little.

"Um... Miss March Seven? Are you planning to accept this commission?"

The Miss March Seven and the team behind her were the members that the branch director had specifically requested to be treated well. Mr. Gray even hinted to her that these people were potential members of the future Brave Team, and becoming a gold-level member was just a matter of procedure.

If you can bring out a gold-level adventurer from your hands, it will be an unprecedented good thing, not to mention such an amazingly powerful team. Who wouldn't want to have some relationship with the hero or his team? This is one of the greatest honors in the world!

"That's right! I want to take this, the sooner the better!"

March 7's anxious look made the receptionist even more discouraged, and she quickly took the commission and prepared to register.
