Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

The moment Goblin Slayer entered, everyone looked at him and began to whisper among themselves.

Goblin Slayer ignored the stares of those around him, found an empty seat, and sat down like a statue.

"Hi!"

Just as Goblin Slayer sat down, a young man dressed in splendid casual clothes sat down next to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Goblin Slayer asked in a slightly hoarse voice."

"You're quite aloof, aren't you? It seems you're just like everyone says, a weirdo. But I think your aloof attitude is good; perhaps you really are the experienced expert I need!"

Liu Tianyu remained silent despite being treated coldly by Goblin Slayer. Knowing the plot, he understood that Goblin Slayer was just like that.

"I'm only responsible for killing goblins; I don't care about anything else. If you want to find an experienced expert, you should go find someone else!"

Goblin Slayer remained unusually indifferent.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this guy incredibly audacious? How dare he give a nobleman such attitude?"

Seeing Goblin Slayer reject Liu Tianyu in an extremely cold tone, the adventurers who had initially envied Goblin Slayer for being valued by the nobles instantly showed expressions of pity.

Although silver-level adventurers are already among the most outstanding, the gap between them and nobles, especially those with real power, is still too great.

Adventurers can only show disrespect to nobles if they reach the Gold rank.

After all, those of the Gold rank would inevitably be granted titles and fiefs by the state, becoming members of the nobility, and would generally receive state-level commissions.

"Haha, you Goblin Slayer, you must be an expert at killing goblins!"

Therefore, I would like to personally invite you to hunt goblins in the Stormy Plains! The reward is up to you, how about it?

Liu Tianyu laughed loudly, then reached out his right hand and grabbed Goblin Slayer's shoulder, which was protected by shoulder armor.

"What makes those experts who clean up the small fry think they deserve to be personally invited by a nobleman? I, as the strongest on the border, have never been personally invited by a nobleman!"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's undisguised invitation, everyone in the Adventurers' Guild looked at Goblin Slayer with expressions of envy, jealousy, or amusement.

"You guys, don't belittle the powerful and flatter the weak. Being able to eliminate trolls, demons, and even dragons is truly a skill. Such powerful adventurers have accomplished the feat of saving the people and rescuing the city!"

However, for the poor villagers and townspeople, someone like Goblin Slayer is no less than a great hero!

Among you, some of you must have been born into villages or towns, right? If some poor villages or towns come to the Adventurers' Guild to request the extermination of goblins, but don't have enough money, would you lend a hand?

Don't try to make it sound noble; the answer is definitely no! Because there's no extra benefit!

Where were you mocking fools when those goblins were ravaging Tutu, kidnapping women, and burning down villages?

You're probably thinking, "We adventurers aren't saints, why should we do something so thankless?"

Then I only hope that when the goblins' swords fall on your own family members, you won't complain or blame others!

Faced with the sarcasm and ridicule directed at Goblin Slayer, Liu Tianyu had no intention of tolerating it. He directly refuted them and even gave them a good scathing rebuke at the end.

Most of the adventurers present nearly exploded upon hearing this, and they all stood up with a bang, glaring angrily at Liu Tianyu.

Some even wanted to hurl a few curses, but after being swept over by the emotionless gazes of the Nord Royal Guards, they remembered Liu Tianyu's noble status and had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Liu Tianyu, who was being watched by everyone, looked indifferent. Rather, he liked the way these guys looked like they were angry but dared not speak out.

However, that shout of "the strongest on the border" just now caught Liu Tianyu's attention.

He glanced around and saw a man dressed in magnificent armor, holding a steel spear as tall as a man, with a lean but extremely well-trained physique.

Liu Tianyu glanced at him once and then looked away. The spearman liked Angelie, the blonde ponytail saleswoman, but little did he know that she only saw him as a simp!

However, the spearman's partner was a very nice woman, and Liu Tianyu's gaze quickly fell on her.

She had long purple hair, wore a large wizard's hat, and a sexy witch's outfit that revealed her shoulders and half of her fair and tender breasts. Her long, white legs were covered with purple stockings, revealing her perfect "absolute territory".

Her delicate hands, clad in black gloves, held a long pipe, and her fresh red lips were smoking.

Men smoking makes them seem unrestrained and vulgar, while women smoking makes them seem somewhat improper. However, if a beautiful woman smokes, it is quite pleasing to the eye.

"Hmm? Haha."

Soon, the witch seemed to notice Liu Tianyu's somewhat intense gaze and responded with a provocative smile.

"Damn, is this woman trying to seduce me? I'll definitely teach her a lesson with a stick sometime!"

Liu Tianyu's lips twitched, and he subtly avoided her gaze.

Soon, Liu Tianyu turned his attention back to Goblin Slayer.

Goblin Slayer's entire head was inside his helmet, so it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

In reality, the reason Liu Tianyu was able to patiently invite Goblin Slayer in public and then confront everyone was purely because...

[Ding! Hero-level character detected: Goblin Slayer!]

Upon entering the Adventurers' Guild and seeing the golden-haired counter lady, Angelie, he instantly understood that Axel City was actually the border city from "Goblin Slayer".

Therefore, when he met Angelie, aside from his lewd side, he wanted to confirm Goblin Slayer's identity; he wanted to see if the protagonist could be a hero.

Clearly, he made the right bet! Goblin Slayer is a hero! He's now desperately seeking out heroes!

Moreover, although this guy in front of us only kills goblins and has a special attack against them, if he subconsciously believes that other monsters are also goblins, then the special attack will still be effective!

The moment Liu Tianyu saw Goblin Slayer, he was already thinking about how to recruit him.

Obviously, if you acknowledge his value, cater to his preferences, and give him gifts, he certainly won't refuse your offer!

However, this is on the condition that this guy can be recruited into his army interface obediently.

Otherwise, given this guy's indifferent attitude, Liu Tianyu would have already made plans for his funeral!

"I understand. I'll accept your request. As for the payment, just pay me according to the standard for destroying a large goblin lair."

After a long silence, Goblin Slayer accepted Liu Tianyu's commission.

…………

"Mr. Goblin Slayer!"

"Ockborgh!"

"Killing God Pill."

"Little Killer".

Soon, the wooden door was opened again, and the group of four walked in from outside.

The one called Goblin Slayer was a female priestess who wore a nun's veil, had long, flowing golden hair, a cute and beautiful face, wore a priestess's robe, held a priestess's staff in her hand, and wore pure white over-the-knee boots, revealing her absolute territory. She was petite and exquisite.

"As for B, given her age, she is not without potential, but I estimate she is about the same as Angelie, or maybe a little stronger. I'll give her 89 points, and I can add 3 points after she grows."

Liu Tianyu gave this priestess a fair assessment in his mind.

As for the one named Okoborg, she was wearing green leather armor, a long brown cloak, and carrying a large bow the size of a person. She had short light green hair and a pretty face, but what was most striking about her was her pair of long ears. Clearly, she was an elf, and judging from the length of her ears, she should be a high elf or a fairy.

For some reason, the moment Liu Tianyu saw her, he immediately thought of rather peculiar things like elves x orcs and elves x goblins.

In any case, Liu Tianyu couldn't get excited about her at all, perhaps because of her flat plain, which was even flatter than the prairie!

As for the one called Shishinmaru, he was a dwarf with a full beard, dressed in a samurai-like outfit, and was also known as the Miner.

As for the last one called Little Killer, wow, apart from walking upright, he really had absolutely no resemblance to a human.

They were quite tall, comparable to the orcs who invaded Stormlands, with a ferocious face, sharp teeth, light blue skin covered in scales, two protruding horns on their heads, and a long tail... Lizardmen.

"Hey! Who are you? Let go of Oakberg right now!"

As soon as the fairy archer entered, he saw Liu Tianyu and the goblin slayer and immediately shouted.

"???"

When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that you have a problem.

I just reached out and pressed on Goblin Slayer's shoulder, how did that become kidnapping Goblin Slayer?

Besides, I was just wearing casual clothes, while this guy was wearing full armor. If we're really talking about kidnapping...

Well, when Liu Tianyu saw the Nord Royal Guards beside him, he immediately understood.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this little fairy is... um..."

After Liu Tianyu removed his hand from Goblin Slayer's armor, he was about to explain when he stumbled over the question of how to address her.

She seems to be over 2000 years old, right? If we calculate based on her past life's history, she's older than the entire Common Era!

"Clap clap clap!" "Alright everyone, the urgent request to eliminate the goblins in Stormy Steppe has been copied and will now be posted on the bulletin board!"

Just as Liu Tianyu was thinking about what to call the Fairy Archer, Angelina suddenly clapped her hands and announced the posting of the commission.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Great, I found some money!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't push me! There are plenty of others!"

"Get lost! Who knows how many goblin nests there are in the Stormy Plains? First come, first served!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the notice board, Liu Tianyu looked at Angel with gratitude.

Angelina simply returned a smile.

"Express delivery? Since when can goblin deliveries be expedited? And they said they found money, is the reward really that generous?"

The fairy archer's attention was instantly drawn to the group of adventurers huddled together.

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, do you have any leads?"

The petite and adorable priestess walked over and asked cautiously.

Goblin Slayer didn't say anything, he just turned his head toward Liu Tianyu.

Go ahead, all of you go ahead, anyway, I won't have to pay for it.

Moreover, as mentioned above, you must go to Stormwind Territory and have Stormwind Territory soldiers act as witnesses. In addition, with so many people going to Stormwind Territory, they will definitely need to shop and rest, which will also boost the economy of Stormwind Territory.

Not to mention, who knows what other valuables the goblin lairs in the Stormy Plains might hold besides goblins! And if you were to encounter a giant orc, or even a powerful orc with a name, tsk tsk…

Looking at the crowded group of adventurers, Liu Tianyu was overjoyed, but he remained outwardly calm.

He did issue a mission to clear out goblin lairs, but he didn't say that goblin lairs only contained goblins!

"Hey, you flashy young man, Shishinmaru thinks you might know something. Could you tell me?"

The Taoist priest walked up to Liu Tianyu and stroked his beard as he asked.

"I'm just wearing a casual outfit with my family crest embroidered on it, dwarf brother. As for why they're so crazy?"

The reward is probably because it's 68 high-value gold coins for each goblin nest destroyed!

However, my restriction is that only mid-tier adventurers of Jade rank or higher are welcome; those below Jade rank are not to be bothered. I, the Viscount of Stormwind, don't want to end up with cartloads of tombstones for my Stormwind Territory!

Liu Tianyu glanced at his clothes, which were just a black casual outfit embroidered with a black phoenix.

"Family crest, a goblin lair, 68 high gold coins? Viscount of Stormridge?"

Wow, human buddy, so goblins have invaded your territory! But you're certainly generous with your money!

Anyway, the sum of gold coins you'll have to pay will definitely not be less than the age of that anvil.

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's answer, the mining Taoist immediately untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a big gulp, looking utterly shocked. However, at the end, he also took the opportunity to tease the fairy archer.

"Arno, Mr. Goblin Slayer, this goblin quest forbids adventurers below the Jade level from participating. Does that mean I'm also prohibited?"

Just then, the Priestess walked over and looked at Goblin Slayer with a bewildered expression.

"This time, all the adventurers dispatched are at least mid-level, so there will definitely be very few casualties. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Goblin Slayer looked at the Priestess with a puzzled expression.

"That's exactly as you said..."

The priestess lowered her head, looking dejected.

"Alright, alright, little priestess, perhaps it's time for you to try teaming up with other people."

"Then, this humble monk prays that you will have good luck in this adventure!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with so many people going together this time. You can stay with the new adventurers. They're all newcomers, so you'll definitely have a lot in common!"

The priestess's squad members seemed oblivious to her disappointment and instead began to comfort her.
