Let's worry about this matter.
Not long after, a thin man with glasses was seen coming down from upstairs. He came in front of the four sages with a smile on his face. He was dressed quite elegantly.
"Haklan, I knew you could accomplish this mission."
As soon as he opened his mouth, you could tell he was something extraordinary.
"Tell me what happened. How much do you want to raise the reward? Just tell me the number."
A momentum overwhelmed the four sages. Their anger was nothing compared to the word bounty.
What's more, things have already happened, and what is important is the present and the future. They can't go back to the past and beat this guy up. If they want more bounty now, they can't touch this sponsor.
The eldest lady who was watching them shook her head.
Although the Four Sages are relatively special among the group of workers, it seems that there is no difference in their essence. They are all ordinary people who work for money.
The so-called face and self-esteem are completely meaningless in the face of enough money. She could even imagine that if someone paid enough money, they might not mind selling their bodies to make money.
She doesn't look down on them.
It just made one thing more certain.
That means she is not the same kind of person as them.
For her, money, status, fame, these external things all exist to serve herself. If she has to sell her self-esteem and pride in exchange for these things, then she would rather die.
But she had no right to look down on the actions of the Four Sages, because she had once been the same person as them, except that she had gained power now.
"Your intelligence is wrong!"
Heklan shouted angrily, but this was just an act to gain more benefits. In his heart, he had already compromised with the other party, and they knew it very well.
However, the president attached great importance to the excellent team of workers of the Four Sages, so his attitude was very good, and he had no intention of lowering the price. He said that you can name any price, as long as the price you offer is reasonable, he can give it to you, but he hopes that this incident will not affect the friendship between everyone.
"The intelligence is wrong?" After asking this question, he said to the receptionist, "Call that guy over."
Soon, an adventurer was brought here. The moment he saw the four sages, his face changed immediately. He pushed everyone away and turned to escape, but was blocked by Robatiku's shield. Then, Hekkeran punched him in the face. He fell to the ground with a miserable expression, a bloody tooth sticking out of his mouth, and was stomped hard by Hekkeran.
"How dare you, a bastard, provide false information!"
The receptionist was about to go up and stop this, because fighting was not allowed here, but was stopped by the president. The president knew Hekkeran very well and knew that he would not lie about this matter. In addition, the behavior of the adventurer who provided the information was obviously problematic. If Hekkeran and his friends were not allowed to vent their anger in such a situation, it would only affect the relationship between the guild and the four sages.
This was not what he wanted to see.
As for the adventurer.
Even if Heklan didn't take action, he would get rid of the guy who dared to provide false information. Some rules cannot be broken. If someone doesn't even understand this principle, it's a waste to live.
"Woo!"
Under Heklan's attack.
The adventurer was soon beaten into a pig's head.
Even if he wanted to counterattack.
One person is no match for four people.
Only after seeing the adventurer was about to be beaten to death did the president speak up and say, "Okay, Hekkeran, if we continue to fight, we won't be able to get any more information out of him. Please give me some face and let me handle him, how about that?"
"Humph!"
Heklan heard the old fox begging for mercy.
He knew the old fox's methods.
So he let go of his hand.
"You must give a reasonable explanation for what happened this time, because the monster that appeared this time was not an ordinary monster, but the Goblin King! You know what this means. If the Sword Master hadn't accompanied us, we would have been killed by this guy's intelligence this time!"
he shouted.
Let everyone in the guild hear his words.
moment.
The originally lively guild became lively because of his words.
There was no sound at all.
[Chapter 13: Evidence]
Goblin King?!
A demon king-level monster? !
The information revealed in Hekkeran's words had a huge impact on everyone. Even the president, who had originally thought that he could handle anything, lost his ability to speak the moment he heard it.
Because this is really beyond imagination.
Not realistic at all.
What is the devil?
The monsters that can break through a city by themselves and cause great disasters to a country, and are irresistible to human power, are qualified to be called demon kings. The Goblin King is one of the known demon kings. With its huge body and powerful strength, it can easily knock open even the heavy city gates. If that level of strength touches a human, the human will surely die.
That was a monster that would kill any adventurer at the fine steel level! It wasn't that he looked down on Hekkeran and the other four sages, but if a monster of that level appeared, he would
There is no possibility of survival.
However, the swordsman Hekkeran just mentioned...
What a familiar name.
As the president of the Adventurer's Guild, he knew everything about the Sword Saint, because many Sword Saints throughout the ages had registered as adventurers, and their guild was very clear about the legends and strengths of the Sword Saint.
without any exaggeration.
Those legends are basically true.
The president looked at the black-haired girl. The mysterious and devilish temperament of the girl possessed a very high level of charm. Moreover, her appearance was more beautiful than any other beauty he had ever seen. This level of beauty had become a terrifying weapon.
He didn't dare to look at the girl's face for too long. His eyes fell on the sword at the girl's waist. With his vision as a senior appraiser, he could tell at a glance that this was a fine sword made by a dwarf.
Astratrea...
Has the Empire's Sword Master been reborn?
Although she was completely different from the handsome red-haired boy in his impression, he knew that the young lady's bloodline was real. However, when many people saw that the young lady did not inherit the unique red hair of the Astraea family, they doubted whether the young lady had inherited the power of the Sword Saint.
Because all the sword masters in history have red hair.
Later, the young lady was determined to learn magic, which made many people who held this idea more certain that the young lady did not inherit the talent of the sword master. Even when it was later revealed that the young lady had a large amount of magic in her body and was not suitable to be a magician, these blind people were unwilling to change their prejudiced views.
But now it seems.
Their speculations were doomed to be unrealistic.
The Sword Master's legacy has not been cut off.
And this generation of Sword Master is far superior to any previous ones!
Although the previous generation of Sword Saint was strong, he was not yet at the level of Demon King. As for whether this incident could be a lie by the girl and the four sages?
This possibility is too low.
Because such lies can be easily seen through. Moreover, their guild also needs solid evidence to register the mission information for them and then increase the bounty of this mission. If there is no evidence, the four sages will not be so exaggerated at this moment.
However, even though the president had already vaguely guessed the answer, he still found it hard to believe because the information was too shocking. So he couldn't help but ask the sword master: "Excuse me, did you really meet the Goblin King during this mission?"
When asked, Astraea simply nodded indifferently and replied, "Yes."
Although she didn't know why the president wanted to confirm with her, she didn't sense any ill intentions from him. Perhaps he just wanted to confirm.
After all, she seemed to be a duke after all. Maybe it was because as a duke, her words would seem more credible?
When the president heard her answer, he said with great emotion: "God really favors the Empire."
Clearly, the fortunes of the empire had already turned from prosperity to decline, but no one expected that the Blood Emperor would use iron-blooded means to purge the nobles, thus boosting the fortunes of the empire.
And now.
The bloodline of the Astraea family has awakened the power of the Sword Saint and possesses combat power comparable to that of the Demon King.
This seemed like a revelation from God.
The empire is about to rise again.
"I understand. Please tell me the details of this mission."
"But the specific reward for this mission will have to wait for a reply from the headquarters to be determined."
Afterwards, Heklan and the others described the course of the mission in detail. What they said was very exaggerated, but the adventurers present listened with great interest.
Just when some people suspected that they were bragging, Heklan gave a look to Robatiku who was carrying a large bag. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. Robatiku threw the large bag to the ground. Inside the bag lay a huge goblin's head. Although it had been burnt black, it was still vaguely recognizable as a goblin.
"so big!"
It was the first time for the adventurers present to see such a huge monster head, which was several times larger than an ordinary troll. They could not imagine how terrifying this creature was when it was still alive.
Even though the Goblin King is dead.
Moreover, the death was extremely miserable. It looked as if it had been roasted. The entire head was burnt so that the bones could be seen. However, the head seemed to still retain some of its aura in life, which made many adventurers' hearts feel as if they had been severely shocked.
This is just like when an ordinary person sees a huge dinosaur fossil. The shock at first sight is truly incomparable, not to mention that this thing is much fresher than a dinosaur fossil, it has just been grilled.
The president nodded stiffly.
well.
They did bring back evidence.
He just didn't expect it to be such speechless evidence. He originally thought that the Four Sages would at most bring back the Goblin King's ears or some organs, and their guild would naturally have special appraisers who could identify the results. But he didn't expect that the Four Sages seemed to be afraid that they would not believe it, so they carried back the Goblin King's head. Now no one dared to doubt it.
According to the description of the four sages just now
.
It turns out that the Sword Master of this generation is not only an extraordinary swordsman, but also has mastered the profession of magic caster, and it seems that both professions have been practiced to a very high level. The sword in the Sword Master's hand is the greatsword once used by the Goblin King, which means that the Sword Master also has mastered professions related to this type of technology.
And this might not be the whole story of the Sword Master. Thinking of these things, the president's expression was shocked. People around him thought that he was also shocked by the Goblin King's head, but they didn't know that what shocked the president so much was the Sword Master who seldom spoke and even seemed to use some magic to reduce his presence. After all, the Goblin King was already a dead thing.
And the legend of this sword master.
just began.
[Chapter 14: Shameless]
royal palace.
Upon receiving the news, the Blood Emperor smiled and summoned the Chief Magician, and placed the report just submitted by the Adventurer's Guild in front of the old man.
Seeing the old guy's shocked expression, he frowned unhappily, thinking that the guy was overacting. He didn't believe that the old guy really didn't know anything about it beforehand.
Especially in reports.
He felt that the old man, who was nominally Astraea's magic teacher, must know that Sword Saint Si Astraea had extremely high attainments in magic, but why did he hide it from him?
"Lord Fruda, you don't have to hide it. Although you have kept these things from me, I don't think it was your idea. It must be that little girl Astraea was dissatisfied with my actions at the time, so she asked you to hide these things from me."
"what?"
Fruda looked confused.
Your Majesty, what the hell are you talking about?
I'm hiding nothing from you!
Can you please stop imagining things? If the old man knew that Astraea's magic was strong enough to kill the Demon King, he would never have cooperated with you to kick Astraea out of the Magic Chanter Academy, okay?
If he had known that Astraea's attainment in magic had reached this level, he would have wanted to turn around and become her disciple even at the cost of his reputation!
To know his lifelong dream.
It is the ultimate study of magic.
Even though for him, the path of magic has no end in sight, he is still fascinated by it. The biggest motivation for him to live for so long is because he has not yet seen the ultimate of the magic path.
But what a stupid thing he did before!
How could they drive away such a treasure?!
"Your Majesty, I am wondering whether I should let Astraea return to the academy? The reward for this mission is more than enough to pay for the tuition!"
"I don't care, but whether to give the bounty this time is not something I can decide alone. If other guys have objections, they can completely block this matter. Even if Astraea and the others have provided solid evidence, there is nothing we can do."
After all, it involves the Demon King.
