Chapter 31: Goblin Slayer (6)
After separating from the little priest, the two turned a corner in the town and walked towards the Adventurer's Guild.
According to the Goblin Slayer, this guild is where the "adventurers" are registered, and it contains the names, biographies, and achievements of all adventurers in this part of the border. Every time he takes over a mission and returns to the guild, he receives remuneration from the guild staff according to the battle situation, although the reward is not too much...... With a meticulous personality like him, he will update his equipment after each adventure, and he will spend a lot of money.
In fact, there are commissions for goblins every day, at most four or five a month...... Some of the incidents are still quite far from the border. But these goblin killers don't care about anything, as long as there is a commission to exterminate the goblins, and this commission happens to be seen by him, he will take it 100%, regardless of where the incident is. This has become an unbreakable iron law within the Adventurer's Guild, only a rookie team like the little priest will come to steal his job without knowing what's going on, of course, Brother Kill doesn't care about it...... He only needs to kill the goblin, and it doesn't really matter if he kills it himself or not.
In various ways, Nobita felt that he was a person with pure motives - that is, to kill the goblins, and he didn't care about anything else, and he had no interest in it.
But...... Most adventurers don't seem to think so.
They will feel that Goblin Slayer is an unsociable monster.
After all...... Crusading against goblins is usually something that novices do, and how can a veteran adventurer like him still hold on to goblins all day long? What's going on with the novice village all the time?
————
Nobita estimates that all of this guy's abilities are on killing goblins, and he should not have a complete education (the story is set in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and in that era, education was the privilege of the nobility), so his brain is particularly straight. As long as you don't step on his minefield, you basically have to answer all questions, and you don't bend your bowels so much.
Such a great opportunity...... How can Nobita let it go?
……
"Speaking of that guild, Goblin Slayer Mulberry ...... There are so many adventurers, and the strength must be uneven, right? Nobita looked at the night view of the town and asked, "How does the guild distinguish between masters and novices?" ”
"Guilds are hierarchical, measured by 'contribution to the country'...... In short, it depends on what level of delegation you can complete. With the accumulation of a certain amount of remuneration, coupled with the guild's assessment of character, you can be promoted if you are qualified. Goblin Slayer explained unhurriedly, "The original novice was 'White Porcelain', and the people we saved today should belong to this level...... Further up, they are black yao, steel, green jade, jade, red jade, copper, silver, and gold. The highest rank is Platinum, and it is said that not many adventurers in history have been of this rank. ”
"Oh...... In this way, the level system is quite complete. Nobita sighed, "What level is Goblin Killer San?" ”
"Silver."
“…… Huh? Is it Silver? The third most powerful level? ”
"Yes." Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing, "But my silver level is more special, it was specially awarded to me by the guild people, I heard that it is because they think I have made a great contribution to society......"
"That's ......" Nobita thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense - after all, the guild here is open to mortals, and adventurers are basically mortals, so it is impossible for too perverted gods to appear. Occasionally, one or two are also listed at the platinum level, far away from the world of ordinary people...... It is actually normal for a warrior like Brother Kill who has both strength, resourcefulness and skill to be ranked to the silver level.
Compare your strength horizontally, and in this world, it is probably a platinum level that you see once in a hundred years......
"Then what do I do if I want to prove that I have platinum-level strength?"
"......" The Goblin Slayer glanced back at him, and quickly withdrew his gaze - he also knew that Nobita was not arrogant or anything, just looking at the actual combat performance, he did have the possibility of winning the platinum-level moat, after all, the two abilities of teleportation and telekinesis are really a bit suspicious in this low-demon world.
"Defeat the Demon King...... Something or something, right? ”
"Demon King?" Nobita felt that he had reaped an unexpected joy, "This world still needs demon clans?" ”
"There should be, but I don't know. For specific matters, when you get to the Adventurer's Guild, you can ask the counter lady there. Goblin Slayer said, "You're not an adventurer yet, are you?" ”
"Well, it's not ...... really"
"Then go and apply for a form, fill in the basic information, and then they will send you a hang tag to symbolize that you are a newbie to the 'white porcelain level'." The Goblin Slayer's tone was very flat, and Nobita couldn't hear any praise anyway, as if he was stating an ordinary fact, "With your strength...... If you have the heart, go to any gold-level adventurer team and ask them to agree to you joining. Then go on one or two adventures...... As long as you exert a little effort, you will be able to rise in level in no time. ”
————
It is said to be a "guild", but it is actually more like a larger hotel, with a front desk, wine tables, and a "delegation wall" for posting tasks on the first floor.
Even at night, it's still very lively and brightly lit. The guild's lobby is built quite like a hotel, and there is indeed some ale here, so that adventurers can come to the guild at any time to sit down and drink a few Gu ...... Different guilds are like different banks, they all compete with each other. In order to ensure competitiveness, of course, it is necessary to make your family's adventurers cohesive, and the most effective way to do this is to make them feel a sense of belonging to the guild and develop a feeling.
There are many adventurers who call it a second home.
……
The moment the Goblin Slayer pushed open the door, the lively atmosphere in the entire guild seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone turned their attention to the warrior in iron armor.
But only for a few seconds...... After that, the atmosphere returned to its previous state, chatting and drinking. It's just that everyone's hearts are like a thorn in their hearts, no matter what level they are at, adventurers are not interested in a lone ranger like Brother Kill.
Due to the cascading effect, Nobita was naturally disliked.
……
"Wood brought someone here today......" A spearman in blue light armor and carrying a spear raised his eyebrows, looked at Nobita from top to bottom, and let out a somewhat frivolous laugh, "This guy doesn't like this type, right?" No wonder he hasn't had a female companion ......"
Standing next to the spearman was a slender, succubic-like sorceress who gently tapped her companion on the head with her pipe, then smiled apologetically at Nobita's side, as if apologizing for her gaffe.
If you have to talk about the body...... The adventurers in front of Nobita are basically big and tall, and they are in the prime of life, the kind that can kill a cow with a fist. And he himself is still a senior in high school, wears glasses, and is Japanese, and must be a little shorter. In addition, he is covered with a big black robe, and others can't see what his figure is, but they only feel that he will not be an adventurer who licks blood on the tip of a knife.
But even so, there were still a few people in the guild who reacted to Nobita.
A heavy swordsman sitting in front of a round table, wiping his equipment; Paladins who are listening to their juniors report on the status of their missions; the witch who just knocked people on the head with a pipe; Even the spearman himself, after instinctively breaking his mouth, noticed it...... Nobita had an extremely "dangerous" smell on his body.
These people, without exception, are all real silver-level adventurers. It's definitely not just a matter of luck to get to their level...... These people's instincts are quite strong. Nobita, on the other hand, has just received Godzilla and Ghidorah's devastating powers, and he doesn't know how to restrain his power, even if it is only one ten-millionth, it is enough to make mortals feel threatened.
Of course, Goblin Slayer also felt it, but he was more crazy and didn't feel Nobita in danger......
Fortunately, several bigwigs looked up at one person at the same time, which did not make the guild silent all of a sudden.
So Nobita thought he hadn't exposed anything.
……
"Ah, Mr. Goblin Slayer, you're back." The counter lady with long flaxen hair seemed to be happy, leaning forward slightly, and her good figure tightened by the uniform was vividly reflected. Her long hair was combed into a short braid on one side, tied around her neck, and her upper body was wearing the uniform of the guild front desk staff, with a white shirt inside, and the lower half of her body was a classic hip skirt of the counter staff, which had an intellectual and gentle beauty.
Nobita had never seen such a woman before, and it was inevitable that his heart was racing.
"Yes." Goblin Slayer seems to be familiar with the counter lady and doesn't add an honorific title, "The entrusted mission has been completed." ”
By the way...... Those who are new to the beginner stage must show the guild proof of your completion of the quest after completing the quest. For example, if you go to fight a goblin, you have to cut off the goblin's ear and give it to the guild, so that you can prove that you did it and didn't get paid for nothing. At the level of Goblin Slayer, the guild had already examined the adventurer's "credibility", which was equivalent to completely trusting him. Therefore, Brother Kill does not need to show any more evidence, and the guild will record what he said as true.
What if there is a silver-level guy who takes advantage of the convenience and cheats money openly?
First of all, people who think this way generally don't get to the silver level, if that really exists...... The guild will also regularly go to the places where the quest was issued, and if it is verified that it does not match the records, he will face the dilemma of being expelled from the adventurer's guild. Not only that, but the original Adventurer's Guild will make his personal information public and add it to the blacklist of the National Guild to ensure that he will not have anything to eat anywhere in the future.
It's not a problem with the brain, who would do such a self-destructive thing?
……
"Today's pay is very small." The counter lady said this with a grin, as if she wanted to attract the attention of the Goblin Slayer, and stacked the gold coins on the counter one by one like a tower, "These are the ten gold coins entrusted this time, please put them away......"
Without saying a word, he picked up the five gold coins above and delivered them to Nobita.
……
"Eh————??!"
At this moment, the silver-level bosses in the guild who had been secretly glancing at this side couldn't sit still, and they all said that they had seen the wonders of the ages, and their faces were full of consternation. Only the newcomers didn't know what was going on, and they asked around blankly, thinking that the demon clan had called.
"He helped me a lot." The Goblin Slayer didn't feel the need to explain, but he looked at the look on the counter lady's face and felt that he should say something, "He and I met during this mission, and he probably helped me half of the mission to defeat the goblins." ”
"No, no, you're too polite......" Nobita smiled pretendically, but after all, he was a high-spirited teenager, and anyone could see the smug expression on his face.
"Mr. Goblin Slayer, you're going to team up with someone else...... That alone surprised me. The counter lady shook her head, with a relieved expression of "you kid has finally opened up", and then changed to Nobita's standard sweet smile in the business state, "Hello, are you teammates with this log?" That's pretty strange......"
"Actually, I'm not the only one, there is also a priest lady, but she went back to the Earth Mother Temple first." Nobita kept his voice as low as possible in order to hide the fact that he was actually just coming of age, "That...... Can you give me a registration form if it's convenient? I also want to join this adventurer's guild. ”
