Chapter 73 Did you two sleep together last night?
"Have Flora and I been cut off?"
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Er realized that the two sides had not been in contact recently, which was already a clue.
He didn't really care. He glanced at Flora, who still maintained a cold expression. Her relationship with Luna wasn't much better.
Lin Er turned his head away and suddenly heard a commotion outside. An adventurer was shouting, "Deacon Roseline is here!" The noisy stronghold immediately quieted down.
Everyone looked outside and saw that the adventurers who had been blocking the middle of the road had made way for them.
Deacon Roslin walked at the front, followed by Phoebe and several staff members. Everyone greeted Roslin, and she responded with a smile.
Soon, Butler Roseline arrived at the Silver Bounty posting location and greeted everyone present in a very friendly manner.
Good morning! Sorry to keep you waiting.
Roman spoke first: "Deacon, we only waited a little while, not too long. How's today's bounty? Everyone wants to know."
Roseline sat down behind the counter and slowly replied:
"There are three designated bounties today: the Rustblade Brotherhood, the Shattered Anvil Society, and the Hearthstone Sentinels. I'll tell you about them later."
The three adventure team leaders whose names were called—Roman the Giant, Hans the Shattered Anvil, and Bartók the Shield—all smiled, especially Bartók the Shield, the red-bearded dwarf, whose beard almost blew up from his laughter.
"I didn't expect it to be a designated bounty. It looks like the reward will be quite generous this time. I can buy another big barrel of beer."
The little giant Roman also turned his head and smiled at Lin Er:
"Brother Lin'er, you see, as long as you're famous, bounties will come to you on their own."
Lin Er nodded slightly.
Roslin glanced at the remaining team members, her gaze lingering on Flora for a moment before she quickly looked away.
"Now there's only one bounty left. Our reconnaissance has revealed that there are at least a thousand goblins hiding in the Misty Forest. To prevent them from being used by the Dragon Shaman Kolo, we need to eliminate them beforehand."
The little giant Roman couldn't help but ask:
"It's just a goblin, how can this bounty be called silver level?"
Roslinn looked serious and said:
"Things are different now. If you kill a large number of goblins in the Misty Forest, you are likely to be attacked by the Dragon Shaman Kolo and his men. This bounty is also very dangerous."
Similarly, the guild will buy back every goblin ear you bring back for 2 guild coins, with no upper limit.
According to the information obtained from the soul search, Lin'er knew that the goblins were scattered and lived deep in the Misty Forest. However, the goblins reproduced extremely quickly, and even the lizard-like humans living there did not know their exact numbers.
Fortunately, the lake he was going to was near a place rich in resources, and there were quite a few goblins gathered there.
This bounty is perfect for them.
After seeing that the remaining members of the Crow Brigade and the Firestone Mercenaries had all accepted the bounty, Lin Er spoke up:
"Deacon Roslin, our team has also accepted this bounty."
At this moment, Phoebe suddenly spoke up: "Butler, if I may be so bold, I don't think they are qualified."
Roslinn turned to Phoebe and asked, "Why?"
Phoebe continued, "Although their team is at the Silver level, all four members are at the peak of the First Tier."
While their talent is undeniable, insufficient rank is insufficient; recklessly entering the Misty Forest would be tantamount to suicide.
Roseline fell into deep thought.
Lin Er also frowned; this woman named Phoebe was really making things difficult for him.
He couldn't help but look behind him, just as he was about to discuss something with his companion, when he met Talia's gaze.
Talia seemed to have misunderstood something and spoke directly:
"Steward, my senior brother broke through to the second rank last night, he's qualified."
Phoebe looked up at her in surprise, her face full of suspicion, and said:
"Yesterday you were at the peak of Tier 1, and today you're Tier 2? Is it that fast? Don't lie about your rank just to show off. There are no magic stones here to verify your rank."
No test magic stone?
That would be wonderful.
Lin Er was genuinely worried that Phoebe might take out a magic stone for him to test, and it would be embarrassing if it turned out to be level 0.
He said in a deep voice, "Talia is not lying. I did indeed break through to the early stage of the second tier last night."
Phoebe was about to ask something else when Roslin interrupted her, asking, "Talia calls you 'senior brother'? You've become Maurice's apprentice?"
Upon hearing this, the adventurers present realized what was happening and all looked at Lin Er with great surprise.
Only Luna knew the reason behind it all, and she remained completely calm.
Lin Er shook his head and replied, "Old Mr. Morris did want to take me as his apprentice, but I refused."
"Brother Lin'er, are you out of your mind!" the little giant Roman suddenly spoke up, unable to hold back any longer. "Maurice is the chief mage of Blackrock City, and you actually rejected him! Do you know what you've missed out on?!"
Not only Roman, but everyone else who heard this also started discussing it.
"I know," Lin Er replied calmly.
Seeing this, the little giant Roman sighed, subconsciously patted Lin Er on the shoulder, and looked somewhat helpless.
At this moment, Deacon Roslin raised her hand and said:
"Let's not discuss the private affairs of the old mage Maurice's family any further."
Everyone quieted down upon hearing this.
Roseline continued, "Since you say you've broken through to the second tier, I believe it's true, and there's no need to test it."
Lin Er breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Steward, if the team only has one Tier 2 member, it's still not enough to qualify," Phoebe added.
Talia gritted her teeth and glared at Phoebe upon hearing this, but Phoebe remained unmoved.
Talia huffed and puffed, "My senior brother kills second-tier monsters like slaughtering dogs. He can wipe out a whole swarm of goblins with a wave of his hand. Why isn't he qualified?"
The little giant Roman chimed in, "Steward, I can attest to that; Lin Er's manipulation of objects is terrifyingly powerful."
Butler Roslinn shook her head and sighed:
"Lin Er, I am responsible for the safety of each squad. Unless your squad can find another Tier 2 member, I will not give you this bounty."
Her tone was firm and unyielding. Phoebe, standing beside her, also snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Talia gripped her staff tightly, unable to utter another word.
Lin Er couldn't help but look at Flora and wink at her, and she understood immediately.
Then, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
"I also broke through to the early stage of the second tier last night."
Phoebe couldn't help but turn around, giving her a look that said, "You think I'm an idiot?" and said:
"You mean, the two of you broke through from the peak of the first tier to the early stage of the second tier overnight?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Flora answered softly.
Phoebe looked gloomy and said, "You two slept together last night and were able to break through at the same time?"
