"Hello. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info" sat next to the two of them, Ryan's faint smile looked approachable, coupled with his 15-point charm, and the female apprentice next to him blushed imperceptibly when she looked up at him.

This scene was seen by another male apprentice, and he was so angry that his hands shook and he almost couldn't hold the tableware: "Do we know each other?" ”

Although he sensed the boy's hostility, Ryan ignored it and asked the somewhat shy girl, "I just heard you guys talking about Moon Creek Valley, can you tell me what's going on there?" ”

Boys and girls would hardly refuse polite and good-looking inquiries from the opposite sex, and the female apprentice explained to Ryan in the other's almost tearful gaze, "Don't you know? There was a monster in the Moon Creek Valley, and all the people who went there to play there today were missing, and only two apprentices came back alive, and one of them was already a little delirious due to the fright. ”

"Monsters? What monsters? ”

"I heard another person say it's a goblin, but there are a few mentors among those people, and a group of goblins alone can't keep them."

"Thank you." A preoccupied Ryan nodded at the girl and thanked him, ignoring the young man who was about to crush his teeth behind him, and left the cafeteria directly.

Moon Creek Valley is a tributary of the Dragon Bay to the east, and the Shagra River runs through the entire Stars Mountains, leaving a valley left behind by the Stargazing Mountains.

Although the territory to the north of the Moon Creek Valley belongs to the valley, the south side belongs to Sambia, so the two sides have little management of this place due to mutual constraints, and this makes the world default to the fact that the Moon Creek Valley is the territory of Shining Star Castle.

For this reason, under the deterrence of this group of powerful mages, almost no robbers in the Moon Valley dared to make waves, and in order to ensure the safety of the students, those monsters were almost cleaned up by the accompanying instructors.

Although there are always one or two cases of apprentices having accidents in the Moon Valley every month, this time something is obviously wrong, not only the large-scale apprentices are missing, but even the accompanying mentors have not been spared, and it is definitely not just a group of goblins!

Back in the dormitory, Ryan took out weapons and leather armor from the closet that he hadn't touched for a long time, and his face was full of seriousness. Patrick may not be a confidant, but he is one of Ryan's few friends in Shining Star Castle, and he will not sit idly by!

The Shining Star Castle was unusually silent at night, and the few mages on duty at the gate yawned from time to time, if it weren't for the fact that they were transcribing spells in exchange for a little salary, no one would want to stand here, not to mention boring, the harassment of mosquitoes annoyed them.

Initiate stealth.

Hidden in the corner, Ryan seemed to be completely immersed in the darkness, and even the silhouette was unrecognizable. For more than a month, Ryan hasn't forgotten his other class, the Ranger! The darkness of the night became the perfect cover, and the sneak of up to 34 points allowed him to quietly and easily bypass the mage on duty, with his back to Shining Star Castle, and gradually approached the fog in the distance.

Inside the gatekeeper's hut, Normara glanced into the darkness outside the gate, but without reacting, slowly rolled up the letter in her hand and placed a black feather on it, covering it with crimson fire paint. If you are in the know, you will be shocked, this is an urgent item, which has not appeared in nearly a hundred years, from Shining Star Castle!

Before coming to the fog of the back mountain, Ryan took out a wooden badge with the logo of Shining Star Castle, and as he recited the incantation, a faint white light flashed, but nothing happened, and he was not surprised, Ryan took a deep breath and walked forward.

When Ryan approached the dense fog with the badge in his hand, an invisible force pushed the fog away, only to see that within two meters of Ryan, the fog did not penetrate in the slightest.

That's exactly what he did with the badge in his hand. This is the entry and exit permit for the Castle of Shining Star apprentices, which will be issued once enrollment is confirmed. Unlike the Mentor's Silver Badge, Ryan's Permit can only create a barrier to dispel the fog at a distance of two meters around the Badge, which is usually enough to pass through on its own.

And in order to restrain outsiders, this badge must cast a 0 ring spell arcane sigil and be successfully matched to activate it.

Although there is no road ahead, there are only two roads in and out of Fort Bright Star, and as long as he does not break away from the only downhill road in front of him, Ryan will not lose his direction.

At night, the Moon Creek Valley is quiet and peaceful, and close to the Shagra River, there are crisp dingdong sounds from large and small branch streams. Fortunately, the weather has been sunny recently, and a bright moon like a millstone is hanging high in the sky, which makes Ryan's vision wider.

Walking alone in the jungle at night is a terrible thing, not only is the darkness scary, but the unrecognizable path can easily become disoriented. If Ryan hadn't followed Pattry twice, I'm afraid he would have been dizzy in the blink of an eye.

Following a small stream, Ryan soon came to an open area, a rocky shoal on the banks of the Shagra River, the preferred location for apprentices who came to escape the heat. The sparkling Sagra River looks like diamonds floating, and the beautiful scenery is mesmerizing.

But the scene on the shallows frightened Ryan, the patches of blood ruining the overall beauty, and the fishy smell in the air made Ryan more and more nervous. Getting closer, Ryan found a group of unclothed goblin corpses scattered across the shallows, and the lack of humans or elves made him relax a little.

Wild goblins are the name given to uncivilized goblin tribes. Although hundreds of years ago, a group of goblins from the north were accepted by the orcs of the Northland Wasteland because of their same green skin, and gradually produced their own civilization with their help, but more goblins did not receive this honor, and they still wandered in the wild, although the individual strength is weak, but the cluster tribe is still a big threat to some small towns.

At the same time, goblins are a group of creatures that like to cling to strong people, and when you encounter a group of goblins in the wild, if you can't quickly destroy them and leave, then the next thing that may appear is a group of gnolls, ogres, giants and even dragons.

Unlike in the game, the wild goblins had nothing of value on them except for a few animal furs and pieces of cloth, and after a brief search, Ryan gave up on the idea of making a windfall. Looking up into the distance of the shallows, a bloodstained road was extremely glaring.

Quest obtained: Mooncreek Valley Goblins

You've found the location where the members of Castle Shine have befallen you, and based on the goblins, you know that your apprentice friends might still survive, and as for how to find them, don't forget that you're a jungle hunter!

Trace!

A path glowing with a scarlet glimmer suddenly appeared in front of Ryan, who gripped the scimitar in his hand and made his way down the path.

Soon, Ryan re-entered the jungle, and he walked like a ghost in the woodland, without any sound of friction. After a while, a hoarse and high-pitched scream was heard in the distance, causing Ryan to suddenly cancel the tracking effect and quietly retreat into the pitch-black shadows.

Activate hiding.

Not far away, a large cavern came into view, and two short, comically dressed goblins stood at the entrance of the cave, and from time to time a strange language or two came out that they couldn't understand.

The traces of blood at the entrance of the cave were very visible, and it was clear that the apprentices and mentors had been brought into the cave. Unlike wild beasts, the swarm-minded goblins are more like ogres and gnolls, and will hunt on a large scale at some point, then remain silent for a long time, and when the world doubts their existence, it is the best time for them to commit crimes again.

Glancing at the two goblins not far away, Ryan silently threw out a scout.

Goblins

Neutral evil

Small humanoids

Health: 6/6

Specialty: Mastery of first strike

Difficulty: Easy

Goblins usually have a poor brain, and only think out of anger and fear, so they can easily submit to the strong under the suppression of absolute power. At the same time, goblins are also a superstitious race, although they have low intelligence, there are always lucky people who can be guided by the strong people they serve, and one or two out of a hundred goblins can master the ability to cast spells.

Due to their small size and high agility, goblins are very fast, and although their attacks are weak, they are the culprit of many rookie adventurers who draw their lottery for the first time. After confirming that the two goblins in front of him were not different from the impression, Ryan seemed to transform into the night and completely disappeared into the shadows.

Initiate stealth.

The two goblins had not spoken for a long time, perhaps tired, when one of them suddenly shook his feet and sat down on the ground. The other heard the snoring sound from his companion and was about to step forward and kick him awake, but with a soft sound, his gaze suddenly spun rapidly, and he saw that his body had become extremely tall in his eyes, but why didn't he have a head?

Stun is being cast, and the spell is successful.

Vertigo:

Target: Doesn't notice your humanoid figure

Exemption Test: If the will is excessive, it is invalid

Effect: Causes the target to be mentally distracted, unable to move, and immediately awake when stimulated, which is not the same as deterrence, and has no attack bonus.

Precision strike (decapitation), death of the target.

The blood-stained scimitar shimmered in the moonlight, and Ryan had already appeared behind the goblin at some point, not looking at the goblin he had just slain with a single blow, and raised his knife to the other one who had managed to fall asleep with the help of the stun technique.

Although the stun spell can't make the target directly stunned, and the casting restrictions are extremely limited, it is a must-have for home travel for rangers who can sneak!

Killing the two goblins with ease, Ryan hesitated for a moment, but still took out the beautiful long sword. Although the evil enemy will inevitably produce magical aura when triggered, the monsters in the cave must be very densely distributed, and once they are shot, they will definitely be exposed. Instead of carefully praying that he would not be discovered, it would be better to directly open the blessing spell and quickly kill him.

Getting used to the sword a little, Ryan placed it in his left hand, and although he had the ability to use both hands, he was used to slashing with his right hand.

No longer looking at the two bodies that were getting colder and colder, Ryan leaned against the cave wall and gradually faded into the shadows.
