Goblin Dependency-Chapter 187 - 113 Spellcasters_2

Perhaps... it’s not impossible?

Xia Nan took a spoonful of creamy mushroom soup, savoring the sweet and savory taste lingering on his tongue.

His dark eyes swept over the sturdy figure by the table near the tavern’s entrance.

He couldn’t help but recall the nickname he just heard from Chapton about the person among the surrounding adventurers:

"Green Blood."

He couldn’t help but fantasize a bit.

He wondered when he himself might earn such a "nickname."

...

The crowded adventurer association.

Xia Nan, fully armed, stood in a slightly spacious corner of the hall, with two long swords strapped on his back.

Beside him was "Old Berg," who looked around thirty and had the appearance of an archer.

Adeline, along with another young team member, "Abi," were squeezing through the crowd in front of the mission board, searching for a suitable task.

Yes,

After careful consideration, he finally accepted Adeline’s invitation.

He joined her team as a temporary member.

Of course, before agreeing, he had already told Adeline that their teammate relationship would only last for this one Hunting Day.

Once the festival was over, he would leave the team.

After all, Xia Nan had planned to accelerate his leveling speed, and he possessed magic equipment like the [Destiny Coin] and [Dead Line] on him.

Without special trust, it was difficult to team up with others without reservation.

Adeline did not ask much about this and immediately agreed to Xia Nan’s conditions.

"You look so young, did you start in this line of work early?"

Beside him, Berg, who was standing with Xia Nan, casually asked, looking at his face, which was not much older than Abi’s.

It was no wonder the other party was curious.

If you really count it, Xia Nan was actually just a newcomer who had been in the field for about half a year.

But judging from his demeanor and attire, he was no different from those experienced veteran adventurers, even surpassing them.

A high-quality look, expensive and well-maintained metal chain armor, and his already developed combat style, different from the common "one-handed sword + shield" dual-wielding pairing.

Plus that calm and level-headed demeanor.

He didn’t seem like a newcomer at all.

So despite looking young on the outside, Berg didn’t think he was a new rookie, only assuming he had entered the adventurer line early.

Xia Nan didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he shook his head ambiguously.

Necessary concealment and some misunderstandings weren’t bad for him.

"So you typically use dual-wielding in battles?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Berg changed the topic.

He glanced at the dual swords on Xia Nan’s back, asking with some curiosity.

In the world of adventurers, the type of using dual-wield in combat was not uncommon.

The captain of their team, Adeline’s weapons, were two one handed hammers.

But Xia Nan’s combination of one double-handed long sword and one wooden sword did seem a bit peculiar.

"One is a spare."

Xia Nan replied.

The other party was his future teammate for a while, so his combat habits would be seen sooner or later; compared to the length of time he had been in the field, there was nothing to hide about this.

As long as he didn’t reveal the special nature of the wooden sword [Green Pine], it was fine.

They had only just met and didn’t know each other well.

They were just chatting idly, waiting for Adeline to come back with the task.

"Berg! Did you find someone for your team?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd nearby.

A slender man in leather armor, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, greeted from afar.

It seemed there was some story between him and Berg.

Seeing the man, Berg’s face suddenly showed a stiff and somewhat awkward smile.

He stepped forward, draped an arm over the man’s shoulder.

"This time it’s my bad, after Hunting Day, you can choose any tavern in town, my treat!"

Using his fingers to pinch the edge of the man’s sleeve and shaking off the arm draped over his shoulder, the slender man responded with a sarcastic tone:

"With ’Green Blood’ backing you up, how could I dare to take advantage of you?"

"Kegel, don’t be like this." Knowing he was in the wrong, even after receiving the sarcastic jeer, Berg still managed to squeeze out a smile on his face, "You know I’m not the kind of person who won’t do what’s promised."

"I mentioned it to the captain, but she didn’t choose you, I had no choice."

"How about I bring you to talk with her again?"

"If it still doesn’t work, I’ll go all out, even if it means losing face and..."

"Stop it." The slender man named "Kegel" immediately restrained his smile and looked towards the other side of the hall.
