Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 184: Chapter 138: A Gentleman Uses His Words, Not His Fists (2)

This was the issue with mobilizing funds within a territory; it was the same everywhere.

"I understand."

Landon nodded, turned to see Lin Mo, and waved to him in greeting.

"Lin Mo, you’re finally here... It should be your turn soon."

Landon was the center of everyone’s attention at that moment, so his enthusiastic greeting instantly drew all eyes to Lin Mo.

"It’s him!"

"He looks so young. Does he know Mr. Landon?"

Because Landon had been commanding the main battlefield later on, he had more public exposure. Coupled with the fact that he was a Mage, everyone had a deep impression of him.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, was responsible for assassination missions. Although his tasks were more difficult and crucial, he hadn’t appeared much in the public eye. The final, critical battle also took place during the general retreat, so very few people noticed him.

The ones who knew him best were the comrades who had fought off the Goblin surprise attack with him that night.

"That guy’s a beast too. Don’t be fooled by how young he looks, he’s incredibly strong!"

"Yeah, I remember he solo-killed a Bronze Level Goblin... If he hadn’t stepped in back then, Mr. Landon might’ve been taken out by that Goblin’s sneak attack."

"I remember him being a Mage, right? I saw him use Magic."

"Bullshit, he’s clearly a Warrior! I remember it perfectly, he was holding a Sword..."

The discussions below rose and fell, but overall, the excitement wasn’t as intense as it had been for Landon just moments before.

After all, Landon was an Adventurer who had been famous for a long time, and his deeds were more high-profile.

The rewards for a few more squads were announced. Finally, the President of the Association and the Lord of Silver Moon Town simultaneously turned their gazes toward Lin Mo and his team.

Many of the Adventurers might not have known, but the two leaders were all too aware of how great Lin Mo’s contribution had been!

"And finally, the Silver Radiance Squad, with Captain Lin Mo and members Feney and Ali."

"The Silver Radiance Squad’s contributions to this rescue operation are estimated as..."

At this point, the Lord of Silver Moon Town paused for a moment before announcing the results to the curious crowd: "An estimated 500 Ordinary Goblins, 60 Sub-adult Mutant Goblins, 40 Adult Mutant Goblins, 3 Quasi-Bronze Goblins, and... 11 Bronze Level Goblins!"

"What?!"

"How many?"

"Are you insane?! Eleven Bronze Level Goblins?!"

"I thought the minimum Threat Level for those things was Level 3, right?"

"Even Mr. Landon only killed one of them..."

Even Lin Mo himself was stunned for a moment. He didn’t remember killing that many.

After a moment of thought, he realized. ’They must have included Shefilya’s kills in the count.’ The vast majority of them were her contribution.

She had taken down a good number of Bronze Level Goblins when she went to assassinate that Goblin Priest.

’Judging by her performance back then, her strength was likely beyond that of an ordinary Senior Level Assassin. She was probably higher than Level 6—maybe even Level 7 or more!’

From what Lin Mo had seen, she had dealt with those two Level 4 Bronze Goblin Knights at the end with no effort at all.

If he hadn’t been quick on his feet, he would have missed his chance to even steal the kills.

The Lord wasn’t finished. After signaling for the crowd to quiet down, he continued, "Of the eleven Bronze Level Goblins, five were Threat Level 3, and six were Threat Level 4."

"Furthermore, they successfully assassinated the main culprit behind this large-scale Goblin invasion—a Goblin Priest with a Threat Level of 5!"

"Holy crap..."

"They’re that terrifyingly strong?"

"Oh, right! I remember the situation was really bad back then, but the Goblins suddenly fell into chaos. So it was because their leader was taken out."

"A Goblin Priest? No wonder the scale of the Goblin Army was so outrageous this time!"

"If a Goblin Priest has appeared, does that mean a Silver Goblin might show up in Loran Forest next?"

"It’s hard to say, but it’s definitely a possibility!"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, some in shock, others in worry.

Meanwhile, the City Lord had not finished reading the contents of the document. "In addition, they worked with Captain Landon of the Cyan Orchid Squad to uncover the Goblins’ surprise attack plan and went to stop it together, demonstrating exceptional performance in the process. Furthermore, team member ’Feney’ helped provide Healing to many wounded soldiers and Adventurers."

"Oh, it’s that Priest! She was the one who healed me when I was injured."

"Me too! I saw her after she used her Healing Technique, and she looked like she was about to collapse. She was really giving it her all!"

"And the Healing was so effective, much better than those Priests from the Church."

"I think she even used a Magic Potion. Hey, shouldn’t the Lord reimburse her for that?"

At the mention of Feney, some of the Adventurers she had healed showed expressions of gratitude.

While the Priest Profession wasn’t a powerhouse carry like a Mage, they were revered to a similar degree.

After all, getting injured was unavoidable in the Adventurer line of work. Unless you were so rich you could chug Life Potions like water, you had to rely on a Priest for help.

This was especially true for Priests who joined Adventurer Squads. Each one was a treasured member of the team, and their safety was guaranteed at all costs—sometimes even taking priority over the Mages.

Hearing that Lin Mo’s team had a Priest, most of the Adventurers looked on with envy. Many were even already thinking about switching teams.

"Mr. Lin Mo, please confirm and verify the data."

Lin Mo took the document from the Lord of Silver Moon Town. It clearly detailed his squad’s approximate contributions, perfectly matching what the Lord had just announced.

He nodded. "There are no issues."
