"Goblin?"

Mai Lu's teammates looked at her in surprise.

"Are we going to fight goblins?"

"Well... that's what Mr. Fang Zheng suggested."

After listening to Fang Zheng's advice, Mai Lu also found her companions and told them what Fang Zheng said. Of course, Mai Lu would not be stupid enough to reveal Fang Zheng's true identity, but just said that Fang Zheng and she were from the same hometown, and he was a senior adventurer, so she gave advice.

"But... the goblins seem to be very weak. We have been tasked with clearing out wild goblins before."

The knight girl raised her question in confusion, and the others nodded. They had encountered goblins in the wild before, but they didn't think those guys were that powerful.

"In short, this is Mr. Fang Zheng's suggestion, and I think it makes sense. The Red Oath was established not long ago, and we do need to learn a lot about adventurers, right? Since he has given advice, I think we should accept it."

"Well... if Milu said so..."

After discussing it for a while, they decided to follow Mai Lu's advice. Anyway, since this was advice from a senior adventurer, it made sense. They were just an adventure team that had just been established not long ago, and they were only at the Porcelain level, while the priestess and others were already Obsidian level adventurers, so naturally the latter were more experienced.

So Mai Lu also brought her teammates to find the priestess and told them what Fang Zheng had said. Mai Lu and the others originally thought that this was just a very ordinary request, but what they didn't expect was that after hearing what Mai Lu said, the priestess and the other three's faces suddenly changed, and Hui Hui even jumped up.

"Why? Why do we have to fight the goblins? We haven't done anything wrong recently! I cast explosion magic in deserted places every day! I hope I'm not disturbing anyone!"

"Ah... that's right... Mr. Fang Zheng said that he wanted us to experience the life of an ordinary adventurer..."

"So you are the culprit, right?"

Huihui stared at Mailu unhappily, while Mailu laughed bitterly. She could see that the three of them seemed quite disgusted with going to subjugate the goblins. Not only Huihui was very unhappy, but even the taciturn Ais seemed a little shaken. Mailu was somewhat puzzled by this. You know, after taking on the escort work, the Red Oath and the Priestess also walked this journey together, and she had some knowledge of their strength. Not to mention Huihui, whose Explosion Magic was so strong that it was foul, the other two also had quite good strength. In Mailu's opinion, the monsters that she and others could easily deal with should not be a problem for them either.

But what is this thick atmosphere of “I don’t want to go”?

"But... Goblins are very weak monsters."

Seeing this, Milu's companion, the red-haired magician Reina, asked in confusion.

"We have cleared goblins in the wild before, but we didn't find them that powerful?"

"Uh... Goblins are very weak, that's right..."

Hearing Reina's question, the priestess showed a slightly subtle expression.

"Since this is the order from His Excellency the Knight, we are willing to accept it, but we also have our own conditions... That is, you must act strictly according to my orders. No matter when, I have not issued an order, you must not act rashly. Do you understand?"

"Of course."

Everyone in the Crimson Oath nodded, and upon hearing their answers, the priestess's expression softened somewhat.

"Then let's go."

As an Obsidian-level adventurer team, the priestess and her companions had naturally long passed the initial rookie period. After arriving at the Adventurer's Guild, the counter lady also saw them and came over to greet them with a smile.

"Hey, hello, what mission are you going to take today?"

"Excuse me, are there any Goblin missions?"

"Goblin..."

Hearing the priestess’ question, the counter lady blinked curiously and looked at Huihui.

"Miss Huihui was protested again for using explosion magic?"

"I'm not okay!"

Huihui jumped up immediately, and then pointed angrily at Milu and others not far away.

"Fang Zheng said that we should give them a beginner's course!"

"Ah... so I chose Goblin..."

Hearing this, the counter lady nodded. She was of course very familiar with Fang Zheng. This was not only because Fang Zheng was a rare handsome, suave, elegant, and refined adventurer among adventurers... (5,000 words omitted below), but also because his adventure style was also unique. He gave the counter lady the feeling that he was a seasoned adventurer leading a team of rookies, strict and comprehensive. However, under this kind of training, the three of them grew very fast. Not to mention Ai Si, at least in the eyes of the counter lady, Priestess and Huihui had made rapid progress in a short period of time, which was the most surprising.

In fact, many adventurers may not be able to grow to this level in a year or two.

Not only that, but the most important thing was the news from the Adventurer's Guild in the capital that Fang Zheng might have the strength of a platinum-level adventurer, which shocked them all. In fact, the top leaders of the Adventurer's Guild were now discussing whether to ask Fang Zheng to teach those novice adventurers how to fight. In this way, at least the death rate of novice adventurers could be reduced, right?

Moreover, you can also establish a relationship with an adventurer with platinum-level strength.

Of course, the only thing that made everyone helpless was that they had said it several times before, but Fang Zheng just didn't want to apply to become an adventurer, even if it was just a formality and filling out a form. He didn't want to do it. This made everyone somewhat confused. Looking at him, he didn't seem to have any objection to adventurers, did he?

Why not?

"There are currently two goblin-suppressing missions. One is that the goblins near the village have captured the daughter of the village chief, so they need assistance. The other is that a small town in the northeastern mountainous area has been attacked by goblins, and a lot of food and goods have been lost..."

Having said this, the counter lady paused for a moment and then looked at the priestess.

"In fact, the former task has been taken over by a team of four people at the White Porcelain level."

"Why?"

Hearing what the lady at the counter said, the priestess's expression changed slightly.

"Is it a man or a woman?"

"They are all women. The one leading them seems to be a young lady from a lower noble family. This seems to be their first time to siege a goblin's nest."

"When did you leave?"

At this time, Ai Si also came over, staring at the counter lady and asked. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense. This made Mai Lu and others a little confused. They looked at the counter lady and then at the priestess. If they heard correctly, then this was just a mission to rescue people in the goblin nest. Why were these people so nervous, looking like they were going to fight a demon?

"A day ago, and he hasn't come back yet."

"We'll leave immediately. Please help me fill out the forms."

"Leave it to me."

The lady at the counter nodded and saluted with a smile. Then the priestess, Huihui and Ais immediately turned around and left the Adventurer's Guild. Milu and the others were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly followed.

"Um... is it necessary to be so anxious? It's just a goblin..."

"You'll know when the time comes."

In response to the red-haired female magician's answer, Huihui frowned and whispered unhappily, then seemed to recall some bad memory.

"Damn it, they always cause trouble for us, so these rookies are really......!"

“Hui Hui, don’t worry, maybe they were just delayed on the way…”

"Okay, okay... I got it! I'll go find the carriage!"

After saying this, Huihui ran away in a hurry.

Although Huihui said she was disgusted, she was dissatisfied with the speed. Soon, Huihui grabbed a carriage and drove quickly towards the village.

"Don't you think they're making a big fuss?"

Mai Lu and her group were squeezed in the back and could only sit in the caravan compartment. But because of this, they didn't have to worry about saying something that would be heard by others.

For example, the red-haired female magician started complaining at this moment.

"They are just goblins, and didn't a team already go there? Why are you in such a hurry? I think we should prepare a little more..."

“Maybe they have their own ideas…”

The other girl just gave some advice but didn't say much, while the blonde swordswoman next to her curled her lips.

"I think they are doing this for us to see... Are all real adventurers like this?"

“Ahahahaha…”

Hearing this, Mai Lu smiled bitterly. It was not that she did not understand the blonde swordsman's thoughts. In fact, there were similar things happening in school. For example, when seniors in club activities saw new members joining, it was normal for them to want to show off in front of them.

However, Mailu had to admit that the priestess and the others did give them the aura of experienced adventurers. Compared to herself and others who always gave people the feeling of playing around every time they went out on a mission, the priestess and the others felt more like the kind of adventurers that Mailu imagined.

The riverside village wasn’t too far from the town, and with Huihui calling a carriage, it took less than half a day to get there. Then the priestess and the others found the village chief and began to ask about the previous situation.

"Ah, those adventurers you mean? They came here a day ago. They asked us where the goblin's lair was and then left... They haven't come back yet."

Upon hearing this, Milu and the others didn't react, but the expressions of the priestess, Huihui, and Ais changed instantly.

"Excuse me, where is the goblin's lair?"

"Oh, that's on the other side of the woods. I heard it's a relic from a long time ago..."

"Ruins? Are there underground labyrinths?"

"Are there any other monsters nearby?"

"Did you see any other monsters besides the goblins moving with them?"

What puzzled Mai Lu and the others was that the priestess who seemed very anxious along the way did not seem so anxious after arriving here. Instead, she asked the village chief a lot of information that they thought was meaningless. She even asked whether there were water sources and lakes nearby. It seemed that they did not come here for adventure, but for a picnic.

"Look, I'll tell you."

At this moment, the female swordsman came over and whispered in Mai Lu's ear.

"They are just pretending to be like that for us."

“Ahahahahaha…”

Hearing this, Mai Lu smiled bitterly.

What else could she say? She could only say nothing.
