Techniques and evolution.

IQ successfully broke through the 80 mark.

I just don't know if this promotion will help me break through the barriers and reach the threshold for becoming a lower-level mage.

In addition, Zellir also acquired a new spell—the Slander spell.

Verbal abuse spell, analysis progress - 2%
Since it's a magic spell that progresses as soon as you join, the magic level probably won't be too high.

However, Zellir was still quite looking forward to the Speech of Wrath spell, as he had never been exposed to mental magic before.

Moreover, judging from the performance just now, the control ability of the verbal abuse spell is not weak, which can make Marcus and the other two slow down their movements for several seconds.

If used properly, it can be a very good skill.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was littered with the remains of goblins. Blood seeped into the soil and slowly meandered, making one feel nauseous.

"it's over……"

Marcus plunged his sword into the dirt, leaning on the hilt and panting heavily, sweat dripping from his chin.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Gak's excitement hadn't subsided when he let out a hearty laugh, "This mission was really exhilarating!"

After killing the white-haired goblin, Gak was finally able to fight without restraint.

He chopped those dwarfs in half one by one like splitting firewood, which was a way of avenging the humiliation of being suppressed and beaten earlier.

Hill leaned against the cave entrance, wiping the crimson liquid off his dagger with a white cloth.

Her movements were graceful, but her eyes held a hint of indifference that was different from before.

Hill wasn't stained with a single drop of goblin blood.

Zellier glanced at it casually and felt a chill creep down his spine.

The assassin's gaze was truly frightening.

As is customary, the next step is to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.

But the goblin was an exception.

Both being monsters rated "Easy", slimes have magic cores as a yield item, while goblins have nothing.

Even meat cannot be eaten—because it is contaminated and consuming it can lead to poisoning.

It's fair to say that this thing has absolutely no value to humanity.

This is why, in various commissioned tasks, the bounty for goblins is much higher than that for other [easy] rated monsters; a slime costs three silver coins, while a goblin costs ten silver coins.

If you don't drive at a higher speed, no one will be willing to take you.

Marcus and his companions sifted through the battlefield, collecting goblin left ears while casually using their toes to push aside the severed limbs to see if there were any weapons worth salvaging.

However, the result was very disappointing.

The goblin's equipment was extremely dilapidated; due to a lack of proper maintenance, most of it was completely rusted and damaged, rendering it utterly worthless.

If you could get a few silver coins by packing it up and taking it to the blacksmith, you'd be lucky. You'd have to carry all that heavy stuff back with you, so you might as well just give up on it.

Anyway, the bounty for this mission is quite generous.

While everyone was busy, Zellier jogged over to the white-haired goblin.

He had seen it all clearly: the white-haired goblin waving his cane as he cast the Slander spell.

If this were a magic wand, I'd be rolling in money!

Even if it's of poor quality, it should still be worth a few dozen gold coins, right?
The white-haired goblin's corpse lay silently on the ground, still clutching the bone staff in its hand.

Zellir picked it up and examined it closely, even trying to infuse it with magic. However, he soon discovered that it was just an ordinary leg bone, probably a human leg bone, with several rows of fine teeth marks on it.

"Damn it...what bad luck." Zellier tossed it aside in disgust.

"Alright, this is all junk this time, let's not waste our time."

After the inventory was completed, Marcus cleared his throat and began his report.

"In this mission, we killed a total of three orc goblins, one white-haired goblin, and twenty-five ordinary goblins."

"Orc goblins cost seven gold coins each, white-haired goblins cost ten gold coins each, and ordinary goblins cost ten silver coins each."

"Based on the bounty provided by the commission, we will receive a total of thirty-three gold and fifty silver. In addition, the association will provide an extra twenty gold coins as a reward, so the final reward will be fifty-three gold and fifty silver."

"Everyone put in a lot of effort in this battle, but the roles they played were different. I will try my best to be fair and just in terms of distribution, and you can raise any objections."

“Zeril is twelve gold, Vales and Hill are ten gold, and the remaining twenty-one gold and fifty silver are divided equally among Gray, Gack, and me after deducting the five silver for renting the carriage. Each of us will receive seven gold and fifteen silver.”

After speaking, Marcus looked around at everyone and asked, "Any questions?"

Gray and Gack shrugged, indicating they had no objections.

The reward of seven gold and fifteen silver coins is something you can only get if you're extremely lucky to get this job; otherwise, you don't know how long you'd have to work hard to complete the commission.

Moreover, they are not the core members of the team, so it's not bad that they can get so much money.

Everyone else accepted the allocation plan.

Zellir's contributions in this battle are undeniable.

Arcane Missiles delivered the crucial blow, swiftly killing the white-haired goblin, and then taking down an orc goblin.

Vales' Thunder Arrow also played a significant role, helping to clear out the smaller monsters and creating opportunities for Zeril.

Hill stepped forward when the three-man bait was under heavy control, drawing the attention of the goblins; otherwise, Marcus and his group would likely have suffered casualties.

Moreover, one of them is a mage, and the other two are mid-level class, so according to the default rules, it's only right that they get a larger share.

"Well."

Marcus clapped his hands. "Now let's go into the cave and search for Rhodes Squad's relics."

“You guys go in, I’ll keep watch outside,” Hill gestured.

"Why?" Gak scratched his head.

“Because it stinks,” Hill answered bluntly.

Zellir cast a light spell, causing a ball of light to float above the group, and then made a hand gesture.

"You go in first."

"Why?" Gak asked again.

“Because I don’t like being caught in the middle,” Zelil replied directly.

I have a feeling of insecurity.

The light cooled the interior of the cave, and the scene here was just as Zellir had imagined.

Because of the presence of orc goblins, the cave passages are wide enough not to restrict movement, but the rock walls are wet and slippery, covered with some kind of slime.

The ground beneath their feet was littered with animal bones and remains, occasionally mixed with goblin droppings, creating a truly stench.

On both sides of the cave, goblins had dug out simple storage nests that looked like honeycombs, lined with dry grass, which looked like places where ordinary goblins would huddle together to rest.
