Chapter 63 Well, this is also an old man
The Adventurer Association still has a third floor that has not been investigated. Through its keen hearing, the ghost goblin noticed some slight footsteps on the ceiling.
Those sounds were very strange. They were obviously footsteps from three positions, but the rhythm of stepping on the floor was exactly the same. They were like a row of puppets whose hands and feet were connected to each other, and the tacit understanding reached a terrifying level.
These people upstairs are definitely not ordinary guards or staff.
Gu An guessed that it was probably the silver team that escaped before.
After all, only triplets who have worked side by side for a long time like them can even walk in the same rhythm.
They are still staying in the Adventurers Association at this time, so there must be something important going on.
Combined with the conversation between the two employees just now, I am afraid that only the "vice president" who has just returned has the qualifications to meet with the Silver Team late at night.
Gu An could think of what these two groups of people would talk about when they got together. It was definitely a plan to attack his own territory and Tiya.
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 to do.
Arriving on the third floor, just after walking out of the stairs, at the end of the passage on the right, members of the Tomb Man Team had already turned into a brightly lit conference room.
The ghost goblins followed their pace and sneaked in quietly.
"Lester, Iyad, Martino."
"The information about the monster lair has changed, why didn't you report it?"
"Do you know how serious the consequences this unauthorized action almost caused?!"
Entering the conference room, the members of the Tomb Man team were already standing in a row in front of the wooden square table. They looked gloomy like corpses that had been dead for a long time, and the surrounding air became a bit cold.
On the other side of the wooden square table, sat a middle-aged man. His resolute face was like a rock carved by time. Although it was rough, it was full of majesty.
He took a detailed report of the mission failure and criticized the Tomb Man team very harshly and angrily.
The ghost goblin stood behind the Tomb Man 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 I have a hidden disease, I cannot use my full strength. 】
[Current status value]
[Strength 30, Agility 30, Magic 68]
[Have skills]
【……】
Under the display of the system panel, all the information of the vice president is exposed at a glance.
In terms of level alone, this person is already at the level of a gold-level adventurer. Under normal circumstances, someone with such strength would definitely not stay in a small place like Aven Town.
However, his body suffers from a serious hidden disease, and the power he can currently exert is only that of a level 21 adventurer.
People like this, although they have hidden diseases and their strength is not as good as before, but they have rich combat experience and are very suitable to guide new adventurers.
It was probably out of such considerations that the Adventurers Association asked him to come to a remote town to serve as the vice president.
If this person were in full strength, Gu An would really feel a headache. I am afraid that he can only fight with the [Magic Scroll].
But since he is half disabled, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Especially as a magician, his physical condition is weak.
Even if it has reached level 21, without a strong enough vanguard protection, it is much easier to deal with it alone than the tauren leader.
The vice president's personal combat ability is not worth worrying about.
The only thing that needs to be considered now is whether he has any powerful [magic props] like Xingyue.
After all, he is a former gold-level human powerhouse, so it is very possible to possess some [magic items] that are beyond the novice stage.
Unfortunately, the system cannot check this content and can only see if any information will be revealed in their conversation.
After analyzing the hidden information brought by the system, Gu An continued to observe silently.
"Mr. Vice President."
"This mission was personally assigned to Xingyue by the president."
"He only notified the Knights to participate in the crusade mission at the first time, so we didn't know the details of the Goblin Cave at the beginning, so we were unable to report it in time."
"As for the unauthorized action, it was also Xingyue's plan. After all, he is the president's apprentice, so we can't refuse..."
Faced with the severe accusations from the vice-president, the Tombman captain immediately gave an explanation and logically placed the responsibility for the mission failure on Xingyue.
"Xingyue, this little brat, is too smart to die!"
The vice president's tone was cold and his eyebrows twitched slightly. Although his expression did not show much, in fact his heart was already filled with raging anger.
Xingyue, this bastard brat!
Seeing that he was quite talented, I thought he would be a good candidate to be an adventurer.
Unexpectedly, he betrayed the president's trust and dared to change the task content without authorization.
This little brat almost ruined something big.
Fortunately, those goblins were so powerful that nothing happened to Tiya, 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 figures of the low-level adventurers above.
The anger in his heart came entirely from Xingyue's tampering with the mission content.
If this matter were normal, he might not care about it. But Tiya's case was different.
Even if she becomes a fallen person, she must not make any mistakes.
But that idiot Xingyue actually made his own decisions and changed the content of the task of capturing Tia to getting rid of Tia. Damn it.
When he thought of this, the vice president felt not only angry but also frightened.
Tiya's matter is of great importance and there must be no mistakes.
But at such an important juncture, he and the president were unable to rush back early or find another helping hand due to some [special reasons].
Because they were worried that Tia would cause great trouble after becoming a fallen person and attract other humans to hunt her, they had to send Xingyue to arrest her in advance.
I originally thought that among those who could call, this kid was more reliable.
Unexpectedly, this beast actually changed the task content without authorization, which almost caused a disaster!
Fortunately, nothing really happened to Tiya, otherwise...
The vice president felt chills running down his spine, and he did not dare to continue to imagine the worst ending.
From his perspective, Xingyue was too smart to die.
But if it were from Xingyue's perspective, it would really sound unfair.
Because the mission given by the president at that time was: "Destroy the goblins, capture Tia alive, and execute her personally when the vice-president and I return."
Due to [special reasons], the president also has his own [unspeakable secret].
He couldn't let others notice that he was protecting the fallen, and he couldn't let Tia really make any mistakes, so he gave him such a mission.
The original intention was to imprison Tiya before causing big trouble, and then find a way to handle the matter secretly after he returned to Avon Town.
But Xingyue didn't know this.
In his mind, Tiya would die sooner or later, and he could just take this opportunity to avenge his shame. After all, he was just a fallen person. Even if he was killed in advance, no one would have any reason to blame him.
Facts show that the complexity of human hearts is more difficult to deal with than ferocious monsters.
"Vice President, let's not worry about Xingyue for now."
"What is more important now is how to proceed with the mission of conquering the Goblin Cave."
"According to the information provided by Xingyue before, there are at least two fallen ones and four mutant goblins in the monster lair."
"With our current strength, it may be difficult to win. Do you want to inform the president to come back in person?"
The perspective returns to the conference hall.
No one knows the psychological activities of the Vice President just now.
The Tomb Man Captain was telling his views on the current situation with a dull and worried look on his face.
According to the currently known information, there are four mutant goblins in the Goblin Cave. One is invisible but weak, and the other three are level 20 with different attributes.
Although there is a level 21 magician like the vice-president, the vanguard is too weak. Once the formation is broken up by monsters, the magician's role will be greatly limited.
Therefore, if the four of them were to attack the Goblin Cave, they would be in a very dangerous situation if they were not careful.
After comprehensive judgment, the Tomb Man Captain felt that the task of arresting Tiya should be discussed in a long-term manner after the president returns.
"If the president comes back, how many of you will I call?"
The vice-president frowned and glanced at the Tomb Man team coldly, as if he hated iron.
He also hopes that the president can come back and resolve the matter personally.
But the current situation is special. Let alone letting the guild leader come back, if a large number of adventurers hadn't died, 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, Tia becomes a fallen person and who knows what she will do. If she causes a big disaster and attracts more people's attention, I'm afraid the secret will no longer be hidden.
But now that he has come back, he cannot be unprepared for how to capture Tiya. He already has a plan in mind.
He continued to the Tomb Man team: "We are humans, not monsters, and we have more unique resource advantages."
"So you must fight against monsters."
"As qualified adventurers, you should learn to adapt to circumstances and make good use of your wisdom."
"If we can't storm the monster cave, why can't we use some other methods?"
"Like poisoning."
Hearing this, Gu An nodded in agreement.
Um--
Use your wisdom.
It turns out that this is also a sixth child.

Thank you bosses for your support.
Today’s update is so late. I would like to apologize to all the bosses who supported me and the waiting readers.
Because I ate a portion of Malatang yesterday and had diarrhea all the time, I forced myself to type until four o'clock to finish the first chapter.
I can’t stand it any longer, so I’ll take a nap first, and when I wake up, I’ll start coding the second chapter immediately! ! !
I'm very sorry for eating again. I will definitely start working immediately when I wake up. Try to be early. The second chapter will be released soon!
