Sword Fantasy

Chapter 5

After killing the monster, the sound of mission completion rang out!
"Mission completed: Received the mission reward of 10 points of increased physical strength limit and 10 bottles of physical strength potion. Gained the special skill: Recovery!" The reward has been distributed.
I was so happy when I heard that, I quickly checked the skill's "Recovery" attribute. It restores health with every enemy killed, with no limit on the number of kills. This is a magical skill! Especially when facing multiple enemies, having this skill is like a god's help.

I touched the giant goblin's head and put it into my backpack. After looking around to make sure nothing was left behind, I turned and walked towards the town guild.

There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and everyone looked towards the door. I saw a young man throwing the head of a monster to the ground. "I think the mysterious monster you are talking about should be this guy, but it really took me a lot of effort!" I pushed open the door and said calmly
Everyone looked at the head on the ground in surprise, then looked at me. This repeated several times before someone asked in surprise, "Are you sure this monster is the one that hunted us novice adventurers in the forest?"

"I'm 8% sure it's that one! It's not only fast and powerful, but its combat experience is no less than that of a seasoned warrior! And this guy has a certain level of intelligence! I almost died at the hands of this monster!" I said, recalling the battle.
"Could it be that these monsters have begun to evolve?" A terrified voice rang out.
Everyone quickly cast inquiring glances toward the source of the sound, as if to ask, "How did you know that?" I cast a curious glance over as well. I saw an older man with an eyepatch on his right eye.

"What do you know? Can you tell us all about it? So that we can prepare in advance to avoid the same thing as this time! Several teams of novice adventurers were brutally killed for no apparent reason!" At this time, a man wearing full body armor said. From the sound of his voice, he was a man, but his appearance could not be distinguished because he was wearing a mask!

"Do you really want to hear it?" the man with the eyepatch said
"Yes! Just tell us!" everyone said in unison.

The man cast his eyes towards me, but I didn't come over worriedly! I thought about it and said, "Yes, uncle, tell us about it! So that everyone can be prepared and think about it!"

When everyone heard this, some people had no expression on their faces, while others were secretly happy!

"Then let me tell you about it?" the man with the eyepatch asked again.

"Hurry up and tell us! We are all waiting to hear it!" everyone retorted
"Hmm..." The man with the eye mask cleared his throat and began to narrate.
A thousand years ago, the world was rife with fear of the demons. Humans and demons engaged in a war every three to five years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Neither side could defeat the other. Just as the battle intensified, the Demon King's subordinates, the Twelve Demon Lords, discovered a forbidden magic that allowed the evolution of magical beasts. However, this magic required human sacrifices. The Twelve Demon Lords reported this to the Demon King, who, upon hearing it, realized it would significantly increase their own combat power. Initially, fearing discovery by humans, they limited their captures to a limited number. Eventually, the demons gradually gained the upper hand in the war, and the Demon King ordered the widespread capture of humans for sacrifice. Humanity was helpless, but they couldn't just sit back and watch! Sooner or later, humanity would be devoured by the demons. Faced with external pressure, the human leader reluctantly decided to launch the Hero Summoning Plan! The Hero is summoned by the combined efforts of ten Saint-level magicians. However, the price is that they cannot use other magic for seven days. During wartime, ten Saint-level magicians can influence a battle! This summoning ritual also needs to last for seven days! During these seven days, humanity loses much of its territory and faces a crisis of survival. Then the Hero appears, and with his presence, the situation gradually returns to balance. Thus, the Hero helps humanity overcome a major crisis!
"Is that all? Uncle, do you have anything else to say?" Everyone asked one after another.
Facing everyone's questions, the man with the eyepatch smiled slightly and said, "What happened later has nothing to do with what's happening now, so I won't talk about it."

"But weren't the Demon King and the Twelve Demon Lords killed? How could there still be such forbidden magic? Have they been resurrected?" Everyone started discussing!
After listening to the eyepatch man's narration, I couldn't help but frown! I thought to myself that this man obviously had something else to say, and that this matter wouldn't end like this. I have to have a good chat with this man when I have time, otherwise I will definitely feel a hurdle in my heart!
I asked everyone to look at the monster head and discuss it. I quickly pulled over a guild member and asked, "Excuse me, how should I calculate the reward for killing this monster?" The member was taken aback by my sudden pull. Seeing it was me, he immediately smiled and said, "Well, since this monster is not included in the bounty, we will have a meeting and send staff to the site to inspect it before we can determine the reward for this monster!"

Just as the clerk was about to say something, I raised my hand to interrupt him and said, "I can still wait, but could you please settle the bounty I accepted for hunting goblins?"

"Sir, please hand in the bounty order for the goblin you hunted, along with the goblin's characteristics, to the task acceptance window and someone will naturally take it!" the staff said kindly.
Only after hearing this did I realize that even if you complete the bounty, you still have to leave the evidence behind! It seems that I was too young and underestimated the rules of this world. In other words, I was too careless! If I had been able to cut off their physical features back then, perhaps these embarrassing things wouldn't have happened now! After thinking about it, I asked embarrassedly, "I was so busy fighting that monster that I forgot what to do?"

The clerk looked troubled after hearing this and then, after a moment of deep thought, said to me, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go ask my superiors what should be done about this matter. Please wait a moment!"

Seeing this person asking me so earnestly, and seeing that sincere expression, I nodded unconsciously! "Thank you!"

The man turned and walked quickly upstairs! I stared at his back and felt that he looked very similar to a friend I knew in the last world. I thought about it and shook my head! Maybe I was overthinking it!

However, at this moment, six people were sitting in a conference room on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild. All of them were high-ranking officials of the guild, although four of them were 3D images!
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin this branch president meeting!"
