Chapter 63: Well, this is also a sixth
The Adventurer's Guild still has a third floor that has not been investigated. The Ghost Goblin uses his keen hearing to detect some slight footsteps on the ceiling.
The sounds were extremely strange; they were clearly footsteps coming from three different locations, but the rhythm of their stepping on the floor was completely consistent, like a row of puppets with their hands and feet connected to each other, their tacit understanding was terrifying.
These people upstairs are definitely not ordinary guards or staff.
Gu An guessed that it was most likely the silver team that had escaped before.
After all, only triplets like them who have fought side by side for a long time can have the same walking rhythm.
They are still staying in the Adventurer's Guild at this time. There must be something important going on.
Combined with the conversation between the two employees just now, I'm afraid that only the "vice president" who just returned has the qualifications to meet with the Silver Team late at night.
Gu An could guess with his fingers what these two groups would talk about when they got together. It was definitely a plan to attack his own territory and Tia.
In this case, as the most important "core figure" in the conversation, how could he be absent?
Gu An immediately ordered the Ghost Goblin to sneak into the third floor to see what the so-called "vice president" was planning.
Arriving at the third floor and just walking out of the stairs, at the end of the right passage, the members of the Tomb Squad had already turned into a lighted conference room.
The ghost goblins followed their steps and sneaked in silently.
"Lester, Iyad, Martino."
"The information about the monster's lair has changed. Why didn't any of you report it?"
"Do you know how serious the consequences of this unauthorized action were?!"
When we entered the meeting room, we saw the members of the Tomb Squad standing in a row in front of a wooden square table. They looked so gloomy, like corpses that had been dead for a long time, and the air around them had become a little chilly.
On the other side of the wooden square table sat a middle-aged man with a resolute face that looked like rock carved by time. It was rough but full of majesty.
He held a detailed report on the failed mission and criticized the Tomb Squad harshly and angrily.
The ghost goblin stood behind the graveman team. Through its perspective, Gu An could see everyone's expressions.
He opened the system panel and called up the detailed information of the middle-aged man in front of him.
【Fire Spirit Controller】
【Level: 30】
[Because of a hidden disease, he cannot display his full strength. 】
[Current status value]
[Strength 30, Agility 30, Magic 68]
[Possess skills]
【…】
Under the display of the system panel, all the information of the vice president is exposed at a glance.
Judging from his level alone, this person is already at the level of a gold-level adventurer. Under normal circumstances, with such strength, he would definitely not stay in a small place like Alvin Town.
However, he suffers from a serious hidden illness, and the power he can currently exert is only at the level of a level 21 adventurer.
People like this, although they have hidden diseases and are not as strong as before, have rich combat experience and are very suitable to guide new adventurers.
It was probably for this reason that the Adventurer's Association asked him to come to a remote town to serve as vice president.
If this person was in his prime, Gu An would really feel a headache. He would probably have to use the [Magic Scroll] to have the strength to fight him.
But since he is half-crippled, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Especially since he is a magician and has weak physical fitness.
Even though he has reached level 21, without the protection of a strong enough vanguard, it is much easier to deal with him alone than with the Tauren Chieftain.
The vice president's personal combat capability is not worth worrying about.
The only thing we need to consider now is whether he has any powerful [magic items] like Xingyue.
After all, he was once a powerful gold-level human being, so it is very likely that he possesses some [magic items] beyond the novice stage.
Unfortunately, the system cannot check this content, so we can only see if any information is revealed in their conversation.
After analyzing the hidden information brought by the system, Gu An continued to observe silently from the side.
"Mr. Vice President."
"This mission was personally assigned to Xingyue by the president."
"He only notified the Knights to participate in the expedition at the first opportunity, so we didn't know the details of the Goblin Cave at first, and that's why we were unable to report it in time."
"As for the unauthorized action, it was also a plan initiated by Xingyue. After all, he is the president's apprentice, so it is difficult for us to refuse..."
Faced with the vice president's harsh accusations, the captain of the Tombmen immediately gave an explanation and naturally put the blame for the mission failure on Xingyue.
"Xingyue is such a smart kid, he deserves to die!"
The vice president's tone was cold and his eyebrows twitched slightly. Although he did not reveal much on his face, his heart was actually already filled with raging anger.
Xingyue, you little bastard!
Seeing that he has good talent, I thought he would be a good material for being an adventurer.
Unexpectedly, he actually betrayed the president's trust and dared to change the task content without authorization.
This beastly little devil almost ruined everything.
Fortunately, those goblins were very powerful, so nothing happened to Tia, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
Looking at the detailed report of the failed mission in his hand, the vice president did not care about the death toll of those low-level adventurers.
The anger in his heart all came from the fact that Xingyue had changed the content of the task without authorization.
If it happened normally, he might not care about it. But Tia's case was different.
Even if she became a fallen being, she must not make any mistakes.
But that idiot Xingyue actually took the initiative to change the mission of capturing Tiya to getting rid of Tiya. He deserves to die.
When he thought of this, the vice president felt not only angry but also scared.
Tiya's matter is of great importance and there must be no mistakes.
But at such an important moment, he and the president were unable to return early or seek other help due to some [special reasons].
Because they were worried that Tia would become a Fallen and cause trouble, attracting other humans to hunt her, they had to send Xingyue to capture her in advance.
I originally thought that among the people who could be called upon, this kid was the most reliable.
I didn't expect that this beast would change the task content without authorization, which almost caused a disaster!
Fortunately, nothing really happened to Tia, otherwise...
The vice president felt a chill down his spine, not daring to imagine the worst possible outcome.
From his point of view, Xingyue was just being clever and his death was not a pity.
But if you change to Xingyue's perspective, then you would really feel unfair.
Because the mission given by the president at that time was: "Destroy the goblins, capture Tia alive, and wait for the vice president and I to return and execute her personally."
Due to [special reasons], the president also has his own [secrets].
He couldn't let others notice that he was protecting the Fallen, and he couldn't let anything really go wrong with Tia, so he gave her such a task.
The original intention was to detain the secret guard before Tia caused any disaster, and then find a way to deal with the matter secretly after he returned to Ivan Town.
But Xingyue didn't know this.
In his mind, it didn't matter whether Tia died early or late, and he could take this opportunity to seek revenge. After all, she was just a fallen one, and even if he killed her in advance, no one would have any reason to blame him.
It is clear that the complexity of human hearts is more difficult to deal with than brutal monsters.
"Mr. Vice President, let's not talk about Xingyue's matter for now."
"What's more important now is how to proceed with the mission to conquer the Goblin Cave."
"According to the information Xingyue provided earlier, there are at least two Fallen Ones and four mutant goblins in that monster's lair now."
"With our current strength, it will be difficult to take it down. Do you want to notify the president to come back in person?"
The view returns to the conference room.
No one knew what the vice president was thinking just now.
The captain of the gravemen was now expressing his views on the current situation with a gloomy and worried look on his face.
According to the information currently known, there are four mutant goblins in the Goblin Cave. One is invisible but weak, and the other three are level 20 goblins with different attributes.
Even though there is the Vice President, a level 21 magician, the vanguard force is too weak. Once the formation is broken up by monsters, the magician's role will be greatly limited.
Therefore, if they were to rely on the four of them to attack the Goblin Cave, they would be in a very dangerous situation if they were not careful.
After comprehensive judgment, the captain of the tomb people felt that the task of capturing Tia should be considered after the president returns.
"If the president could come back, would I need to call you guys?"
The vice president frowned and glanced coldly at the gravedigger team, looking as if he was disappointed with them.
He also hoped that the president could come back and resolve the matter personally.
But the situation is special now. Not to mention letting the president come back, if it weren't for the death of a large number of adventurers, he would have no excuse to escape from the royal city.
Therefore, he must handle the current matter personally, and as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if Tia becomes a fallen person, who knows what she will do. If she causes a big disaster and attracts more people's attention, the secret may no longer be hidden.
However, now that he has returned, he naturally cannot be unprepared for how to capture Tia, and he already has a plan in mind.
He continued to say to the Gravemen Squad: "We are human beings, not monsters. We have more unique resource advantages."
"So we must defeat monsters and fight them."
"As qualified adventurers, you should learn to adapt to changing circumstances and use your wisdom."
"If we can't storm the monster cave by force, why can't we use some other methods?"
"Like poisoning."
Hearing this, Gu An nodded in agreement.
Um--
Use wisdom.
It turns out this is also Old Six.
