Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

???

Isn't this the goblin merchant we encountered on the way here?

Lorne had three big question marks in his mind.

In just a few tens of minutes, that sleazy goblin merchant has transformed into someone posting high-value bounty missions?

The goblin merchant, having somehow found a brocade robe that fit him perfectly, wore a monocle over his right eye and held up a piece of parchment with a refined air:

"Of course, a high reward...is bound to come with a little bit of... risk."

Is this still the same guy who sells junk? Lorne was dumbfounded.

A goblin dressed up the human nobles?

If it weren't for that incredibly familiar voice, Lorne would have had a hard time connecting it to the goblin merchant from before.

Faced with the commotion of the crowd, it calmly adjusted its monocle.

"We just need to explore a little deeper into the resource area..." The goblin gestured slightly with his thumb and forefinger.

When the deep resource zone was mentioned, the few people who were originally eager to take on the bounty immediately looked hesitant.

"Never mind, never mind."

"I've heard that deep within the resource zone dwell extraordinary creatures that even formal wizards cannot deal with!"

"That's not a place a mere wizard apprentice should set foot in!"

The discussion intensified, and many people even got into arguments because of it.

One side adheres to the principle that wizards should be "high-risk, high-reward".

The other side loudly emphasized that "people should not die in vain."

Lorne was also caught in a dilemma.

Regardless of the goblin's identity, if the reward for this bounty really is a high-grade magic crystal, then there will be no need to worry about funding after completing the bounty.

You can then focus on developing your character and buy healing potions to quickly increase your proficiency and boost your mental attributes.

With the addition of a spirit-enhancing potion, there's a high probability that one can open their spiritual sea and become a wizard apprentice.

Thus, they managed to survive in the Black Sun Tower.

This way, there would be time to prepare for the pursuit from the Firefly Forest... Lorne didn't harbor any illusions.

Since his escape, the black-robed old man, the wizard of the Firefly Forest, has taken no action.

Are they really willing to let themselves go...?

"I accept." As Lorne was thinking, a two-meter-tall man stepped forward from the crowd.

He crossed his arms and looked down at the goblin merchant surrounded by people like a giant looking down at a reptile.

"Excellent! We've found a brave warrior!" The goblin merchant slowly rolled up the parchment, grinning, "The bounty has no limit on the number of winners..."

"No matter how many people there are, as long as the bounty is completed, you will receive a high-grade magic crystal!" it added.

The crowd, which had been silent for a short while, erupted in cheers again!

This means that regardless of the process, as long as the result is achieved, there will be a reward for reaching the bounty target.

"So what is the target of the bounty?" someone in the crowd cheered.

"Well..." the goblin merchant said mysteriously, "I can only tell you after you accept the bounty."

"Because the bounty target involves some...secrets."

This undoubtedly dampened people's enthusiasm once again.

Why would they deliberately keep us in suspense, not even revealing the details of the reward? Could there be a trap involved? That's the first thought that comes to most people's minds.

Lorne's focus at this moment was not on the bounty, but on the two-meter-tall giant.

Its large body was quite bloated, with thick arms covered in dense black veins, and its skin had one or two bluish scales that resembled snake scales.

Is this a fusion of the bloodlines of extraordinary beings? Lorne was puzzled.

Isn't that something only a formal wizard can do?

According to the guides of the Black Sun Tower, there are many different schools of formal wizards.

There are two main schools of thought: sorcerers and bloodline sorcerers.

As for wizard apprentices, in theory there are no different schools of thought, and all they need to do is open their spiritual sea.

Once the mental sea is opened, one can use some simple witchcraft that does not require magic, or use mental power to activate witchcraft runes made by formal wizards.

This burly man was clearly not a formal wizard... Lorne felt a pang of apprehension, but ultimately chose to squeeze into the crowd and step forward: "I'll take it too."

This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

You can accept it first and take a look at the details of the bounty mission.

Taking on other commissions would undoubtedly increase his time costs, and time is exactly what he needs right now.

If this bounty mission is too difficult, you can go to the shallow resource area and complete the Phosphorus Beetle's commission.

"Excellent! Another one..." The goblin merchant's generous and passionate words faltered briefly the moment he saw Lorne.

Its voice gradually faded: "Another warrior has arrived..."

Apart from Da Han and Lorne, most people were still hesitant and had not yet made up their minds.

"Don't you want to know the secrets hidden deep within the resource zone?!" The short, goblin-like figure raised his hands and proclaimed loudly.

"Normally I wouldn't want to tell this news to others."

"You're all smart people, aren't you!"

These words instantly ignited the crowd, and one apprentice after another stepped forward:

"I accept!", "I accept too!", "Okay!"...

I have to say, this little guy has a real knack for sales... Lorne is starting to admire this goblin merchant.

Instead of revealing the details of the bounty to everyone, the story begins with the high bounty amount and then delves into the secrets of the deep resource zone, gradually drawing the audience in.

Hmm, he's got potential.

I just don't know if there's anything wrong with this so-called bounty...

"But..." the goblin suddenly changed the subject: "You have to sign a soul contract before accepting a bounty."

The apprentices who had just shouted "Accept!" immediately stopped.

A soul contract is a special method that draws the attention of a higher being. The two people make a vow on the scroll and leave a spiritual imprint.

After completion, neither of them can violate the terms of the contract; otherwise, they will be subject to the penalties stipulated in the contract, which will be imposed by the corresponding beings.

"No need to worry, it's just to keep the secret from being leaked." The goblin merchant patted his chest confidently: "The superior being in the contract isn't some evil spirit."

"He is the embodiment of justice in the world, the High Priest of the Court of Order: the True Spirit—Enderik!" the goblin shouted.

What are you babbling about? I can't understand you anyway... Lorne glanced speechlessly at the nearly crazed goblin merchant.

This mental state is just like that of the old man in black robes when he first transmigrated... Lorne saw a similar figure in it.

They have immense reverence for the so-called superior being and always show blind respect when mentioning "He".

He was not a so-called theologian; he only recognized the supremacy of reason.

Lorne found it difficult to understand their thinking.

This includes the old man in black robes, the goblin, and even the parents who chose to sacrifice their own child because of a word from the wizard.
