The dwarven craftsmen and miners offered Bai Ze and the four women a small feast, and Bai Ze, without any hesitation, took out a lot of good wine from his system inventory.

The dwarves were so excited by the good wine that their beards danced with joy. They lit a bonfire at the entrance of the mine and sang celebratory songs. The two moons hung high above them, and the twinkling stars seemed to be celebrating with the dwarves.

Bai Ze and the four women finally slept in the prepared tent. After the dwarves got drunk, they lay down at the cave entrance with their wine bottles and fell fast asleep.

The next morning, the sun and the birds in the mountain forest woke everyone up. Bai Ze and the four women packed their things and prepared to set off. The dwarf craftsman also prepared the certificate of completion of the commission and handed it to Bai Ze.

Before leaving, the dwarf craftsman, blushing, looked at Bai Ze with a very unfriendly expression and said:

"Cough cough... um..."

"Um... Lord Bai Ze, I wonder if you have any extra wine with you? I... um... oh, everyone, everyone would like to buy some of the wine you served us at yesterday's banquet."

Last night, Bai Ze brought out two kinds of alcoholic beverages containing the toxic milk powder, namely the black ones that Bai Ze often drinks—tequila and rum.

Bai Ze said with a smile:

"I thought it was something else~"

After a clattering and clanging, Bai Ze took out more than 50 bottles of both types of alcohol and placed them on the ground. Without counting them, he simply said:

"Consider this a gift from me to celebrate the reopening of your mine. When your mine resumes production and I happen to pass through this area again, please treat me to a big meal and a banquet!"

"Oh, gods above, thank you, Lord Bai Ze!"

"Yah!"

The dwarves excitedly began bumping their round bellies against each other, and the leading dwarf craftsman was at his wits' end with these subordinates who stayed with him and guarded the mine.

You see, it's been a long time since any merchants have come to resupply the dwarven mines. With Bai Ze bringing so much wine all at once, the dwarven miners felt that they could start working hard today.

They didn't want any other reward; they just wanted the craftsmen to give them a bottle of the wine Bai Ze had given them at dinner that evening, and the miners would be content.

Amidst the dwarves' excited farewells, Bai Ze led the four women away from the dwarven mine and headed towards the border outpost.

Back at the border outpost inn, Bai Ze first took the women back to his personal space, where he treated them to a meal of famous Northern Song Dynasty dishes brought from Tianlong.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and resting for a few hours in the space, Bai Ze once again led Raphael, Misha, and Mu Wanqing out of the space, left the inn, and went to the Adventurers' Guild.

Bai Ze entered the Adventurers' Guild, looked around but didn't see Goblin Slayer or the Little Priestess. The trio of elves who invited Goblin Slayer to Water 7 hadn't arrived yet either. Bai Ze went to submit the request for the Rock-Eating Monster.

The counter lady with the dangerous hairstyle warmly greeted Bai Ze, who then presented him with the Rock-Eating Monster Request Form and the completion certificate given to him by the dwarf craftsman.

He also handed a bag containing the large eyeball of a rock-eating monster and the blasted-off jaw of the monster, which he considered a collectible, to the counter lady.

The counter staff called over a supervisor to examine the receipt and the fragments of the strange insect. After verifying their authenticity, the supervisor exclaimed in admiration:

"As expected of Lord Bai Ze, who was able to accept and complete five large-scale kingdom commissions in one go in Mag City!"

The fragments of the Rock-Eating Monster are fine; your request has been completed perfectly.

I also want to thank you on behalf of the Kingdom and the Dwarves for your great help. During this period, there have been more monster attacks and harassment incidents in various places, and the adventurers stationed in many areas have been extremely busy.

News of civilian and adventurer casualties is increasing across the land. Having a team as efficient and swift as Lord Bai Ze to complete high-level quests is truly a blessing for the kingdom and the Adventurers' Guild.

Bai Ze said with a grin:

"No problem~ As long as it helps me level up my adventurer rank quickly, doing these quests again is no problem!"

The female supervisor thought to herself, "If we do it again, who knows how many more people will get injured or die?" and then said to Bai Ze:

"After this commission is submitted, Lord Bai Ze, your Adventurer Rank can be upgraded to Bronze. Do your teammates need to be upgraded? You can also share your commission points and experience."

Bai Ze then handed the supervisor four Jade Adventurer Rank Tokens, asking her to upgrade them and see what rank they could be upgraded to.

Finally, based on the experience points from the commissioned mission, two of the four Emeralds were upgraded to Red Jade. Bai Ze didn't mind, and with a smile, he put away the Adventurer Rank tokens for the two Red Jade and two Emeralds.

Bai Ze led the three women to an empty table to sit down and rest for a while, hoping to run into Goblin Slayer and the little priestess when they returned today.

At this moment, several elegantly equipped figures entered the Adventurer's Hall. They were the four members of the Silver-ranked Adventurer's Team belonging to the Border Town Adventurer's Guild, who had appeared in the show: a heavy warrior, a female knight, a spearman, and a witch.

The purple-haired, voluptuous witch held a long pipe and smoked, her yellow eyes flashing with charm as she radiated allure. She noticed that some men in the hall began to adjust their posture.

The witch looked at the adventurers in the hall, smiled seductively, and walked towards the counter.

The greatswordsman submitted his quest, while the orange-haired spearman kept telling the receptionist about his monster-hunting adventures.

The unmoved saleswoman at the counter, while offering compliments, smiled and recommended that the spearman buy several more bottles of potions sold by the guild. As usual, the spearman fell for it and bought the potions.

Bai Ze gave each of the three girls a bottle of "Magic Juice" made with ice and hand-whipped magic from Mengxue Ice City. They sat in the rest area in the corner of the guild hall, drinking the juice and watching the adventurers playing and making a ruckus in the hall.

After submitting the quest, the greatswordsman brought his teammates to the rest area. The four of them sat at an empty table not far from Bai Ze's table, drinking wheat juice brought by a maid and chatting about the monsters in the previous mission.

"Gee~"

The door was pushed open, as if a cold wind had blown into the Adventurers' Guild Hall, and then a small sun suddenly appeared behind it;

The Goblin Slayer and the Priestess, who kept strangers at bay, entered the hall, and the noisy commotion in the Adventurers' Hall immediately subsided a little.

The naive and adorable little priest followed Goblin Slayer to the counter to submit a mission to destroy a goblin lair. The few silver and copper coins he had were given to Goblin Slayer by the counter lady.

The adventurers around him glanced at the meager commission fee Goblin Slayer received and curled their lip in disdain. "An expert who specializes in cleaning up small fry" was never the envy of the adventurers in the border outpost.

Everyone can only envy Goblin Slayer's Silver Adventurer Rank certificate, which he built up with countless goblin corpses.

No one can kill goblins day after day, year after year, and obtain social reputation certificates from the villagers like Goblin Slayer, eventually rising to the rank of Silver Adventurer.

After completing his mission, Goblin Slayer turned around and saw Bai Ze in the rest area. A red light flashed in his eyes, he put away his coins, and walked towards Bai Ze.

(By the way, Goblin Slayer is a handsome man with a cool and aloof appearance, red eyes, and brown hair. The red eye effect in the anime is his real eye color~ lol.jpg)

"You're back. When are you leaving?"

Goblin Slayer asked Bai Ze directly when he would go to wipe out the troll camp that Bai Ze had mentioned earlier.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly. Clearing out that camp is not something a few of us can handle."

Bai Ze took out two bottles of chilled fruit-flavored magic juice and gave them to Goblin Slayer and the little priest. The little priest, with stars in his eyes, sat down next to Raphael and excitedly said:

"Sister, sister, thank you so much for the energy and new miracle you gave me before. The increased movement speed of the caster and teammates, and the mobile barrier that allows one person to move, are really amazing. Thank you so much."

Yes, Professor Raphael gave the young priest the healer class skill before:

"Holy Light Protection" (Provides teammates with a movable barrier that reduces damage taken and prevents them from entering a stunned state)

"Divine Teachings" (blesses all teammates within range, making them lighter and greatly increasing their movement speed).

Raphael looked at the excited young priest, smiled, patted the priest's head, and said:

"You're also great for doing your best to help your teammates and fulfilling your duties as a priest!"

Hehe~(*^▽^*)~

The little priest happily took a sip of juice and immediately felt his magic power replenished. The number of times he could perform miracles was also refreshed. The little priest opened his eyes wide and looked up at Raphael.

Just as the little priest was about to say something, Raphael smiled, winked, and put his finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture. The little priest understood, blushed, and picked up the can of magic juice again, chugging it down.

At this moment, the witch from the silver-rank adventurer party walked over, took out several magic scrolls and placed them on the table in front of Goblin Slayer. Then, she looked at Bai Ze in her uniquely alluring voice and said:

"Goblin-san, these are the scrolls you ordered earlier. And this young man... it's an honor to meet you..."

Bai Ze looked up at the beautiful witch, raised his arm to embrace Mu Wanqing beside him, gestured with the cup in his hand to the witch, and then said:

"Greetings, Miss Witch. I wonder if we could have your leader, Mr. Greatswordsman, come to our table? We have a raid that we'd like to help with, and you are probably the best players in the Adventurers' Guild here."

"Wow~ A tough challenge! That sounds interesting~ Let's hear what the guy has to say about the mission..."

The witch wiggled her hips and went back to her table to call the heavy swordsman. After hearing the witch's message, the heavy swordsman frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, said a few words to his female knight teammate, and stood up to walk towards Bai Ze's table.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, greatsword master Guts."

"Hello, Mr. Gus, you can just call me Bai Ze."

Bai Ze looked at the calm Goblin Slayer and the greatsword warrior Guts who was waiting for Bai Ze to explain the monster camp. Without saying much, he told the two of them about the monster camp that Oaks in Mag City had mentioned earlier.

Although some details about the monster camp led by that troll are still unclear, after Bai Ze's recent efforts to clear out other monster camps, all the mid- to high-level monsters are recruiting scattered monsters from the surrounding area to join their own camps.

So Bai Ze could only tell Goblin Slayer and Guts the Greatsword that the total number of monsters in that troll monster camp was now even greater, and asked the two if they had any intention of taking action.

After listening to Bai Ze's description of the monster camp, the greatsword master Guts stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying:

"I've also heard a little about that troll camp, but it's not within the area of ​​our border outpost. It's located on the edge of the area where three border outposts overlap. It's not that no one has thought of organizing a campaign to wipe it out before."

After the Sword Saintess Gold-Rank Adventurer Squad won the battle against the Demon King, the swordsman in the squad relinquished his Gold-Rank Adventurer status and became the current king, and has been dealing with the Demon King's remaining forces.

That troll camp was probably established by the remnants of the Demon King's forces, but because the leading trolls had wandered too far, they later gathered a wide variety of monsters.

By the time the Adventurers' Guild discovered the camp, it was no longer a request that a border outpost could handle, so they were unable to assemble a team to carry it out.

The remnants of the Demon King's army and the kingdom's main military force have been locked in a stalemate for a long time, and neither side has been able to spare a high-level adventurer team to lead a cleanup operation. Therefore, that monster camp has remained intact to this day.

Goblin Slayer was a good listener. After listening to Guts the Greatsword Warrior, he didn't say a word and just waited for Bai Ze to tell him when to set off so they could get started!

Guts, the greatswordsman, glanced at Goblin Slayer with slight disdain, then looked at Bai Ze and said:

"What, Brother Bai Ze, do you intend to take action against that monster camp?"

Bai Ze nodded and said:

"No matter how many low-level monsters there are in the monster camp, it's not a problem for me. It's just that the number of mid-to-high-level monsters is unknown. I need to find some helpers to separate the mid-to-high-level monsters during the battle, and then defeat them one by one."

"Oh! Brother Bai Ze is very confident in the strength of his team~ You know, a team led by a silver-rank adventurer can easily be overwhelmed by dozens or hundreds of monsters. There are several thousand goblins alone in that troll camp, not to mention other types of monsters."

Crypt spiders, giant goblins, monster giants, trolls, and possibly goblin shamans and goblin hero units—these are all opponents that a single silver-rank adventurer cannot handle. Brother Bai Ze, are you sure you want to gather a team?

The greatsword warrior Guts crossed his arms and looked at Bai Ze with great interest. To be honest, Guts also wanted to go to the troll camp. Although Guts was confident in his own strength and that of his teammates, all of whom were silver-rank adventurers, there were just too few of them.

Aside from the four members of the first tier of combat—the greatswordsman, the female knight, the spearman, and the witch—Guts's team consists of only three others: the half-forest (a descendant of elves and humans) who manages the team's assets, the young scout, and the young sorceress.

Now that Bai Ze has a powerful team of adventurers leading the charge, along with Guts's team of four and Goblin Slayer, the goblin extermination expert, it's still possible for them to make a move against that camp.

Bai Ze nodded to Gus and said:

"Including myself, there are 11 people on my side, all of whom are at least at the Jade level. 10 of them can attack."

Raphael is an assistant priestess; she'll be positioned in the back row along with the junior priests and other personnel. She's performed many miracles; you'll see when the time comes."

At this moment, Goblin Slayer, who had been encouraged by the junior priest to speak and chat with people, lowered his head and asked the junior priest a question:

"Want to go?"

The young priest looked at Raphael's smiling face, nodded firmly, and said:

"Of course I want to go!"

"Alright! It's settled then. We'll all go together on this troll camp raid. Even if we don't care about the reward, we'll rid the kingdom's borders of this scourge to prevent them from joining forces with the remnants of the Demon King's army and causing even greater losses!"

Bai Ze, Goblin Slayer, and the women all nodded. Those with the ability wouldn't say no to something as important as eliminating monsters!

After Bai Ze, the greatsword master Guts, and Goblin Slayer agreed on the departure time, they dispersed to prepare the supplies to be taken before the operation.

Bai Ze and the women all have spatial backpacks, which will not only ensure that they have enough supplies for themselves, but also allow them to support other teams.

Bai Ze returned to the inn with the three women. That night, Bai Ze prepared some supplies, including the ever-reliable bombs from the Game of Thrones world, as well as various potions, all of which he kept in his backpack for later use.
