《Soul Summoner in Isekai (LitRPG & System)》63. Arrived

[Guild Crusade Quest: A large number of slimes have appeared in the grasslands outside the town of Gruul. Adventurers' guild on a full-scale crusade]
[Quest Level: Special Guild Quest. Recommended adventurer level is 0 to 5]
[Mission Objective: To clean up the slimes and relieve the crisis in Gruul Town]
[Quest Reward: 2 gold]
[Guild Crusade Mission Benefit: If you are hit by slime acid, you can seek free healing from guild members Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen]
Two gold coins may seem like a lot of money, but when converted into copper coins, it's just 20,000 copper!
When divided among the 200 people, each of them would not even get 100 copper.
But it was because Anno wanted to improve the overall strength of the adventurers that he asked everyone to participate.
Once the number of people increased, the reward would naturally be less.
In fact, Anno wants to complete this quest with Shore and others.
The only thing is that there are a lot of slimes and it takes longer to clear them.
The adventurers who participated in this quest all got excited when they saw the guild quest benefits.
As a healing profession, priests were relatively special and were usually absorbed by the major powers.
These adventurers in front of them didn't have a single priest.
Before, some people were worried that the cost of healing would be too great if they were accidentally injured.
Now it was gone, and all the adventurers who participated in the quest rushed back to prepare.
Those who had not become adventurers also rushed to Maggie and Samantha to register.
The day passed quickly.
Anno left the Adventurers' Guild headquarters in Maggie's care, and then took the gathered adventurers and set off for the town of Gruul.
Early in the morning, the people of Valcam saw a group of people marching out of the town gates.
Those who didn't know what was going on the thought that some medium-sized mercenary group had set out en masse.
Those who were better informed saw Anno at the front of the group and the nameplates were worn by all of them and understood that it was the Adventurers' Guild that was up to something.
"Has Lord Viscount been up to something again lately? I saw two groups of heavily armed guards leave the city only yesterday, and today the Adventurers' Guild's men are out of town too!"

"Could it be that the demons are attacking the surrounding villages again?"
"It can't be, it hasn't been long since this winter when the Gran village and Lado town fell. Now another village has been attacked by demons?"
"Alas, it's better to stay in Valcam. Although the pressure to survive is increasing, at least lives are protected."
"Don't you think the Adventurers' Guild is growing too fast? It was only formed a few days ago, but now there are hundreds of people?"
"Hey, you don't know about that, do you?
Although the Adventurers' Guild was founded though by a man called Anno, who was supported by Lord Viscount.
In reality, anyone who is a professional can register as an adventurer.
Looking at so many people, they are actually a bunch of bottom-level professionals.
Look at the equipment they are holding.
A wooden stick picked up from the roadside at random?
Carrying wooden pots intended to be used as shields?
This group of people is simply funny.
The Adventurers' Guild is just a bunch of rabble-rousers, not even comparable to a mercenary group.
It won't take long for them to disband."
"Why do I hear that if you register as an adventurer, you can take commissions and get a fee without having to fight? And the guild only charges a 5% commission, which is equivalent to getting the full fee."
"What's the use of that? All you get are trash commissions, and the fee is only so much. The pay for the missions given to the mercenary groups is at least in silver coins!
Moreover, some of the mercenary groups in the city are already unhappy with the Adventurers' Guild's practices. Although they have to give respect to the Viscount Lord on the surface, privately, the Adventurers' Guild will definitely not have a good time!"
"Hiss~, there's still this?"
"That's for sure, I'm a reserve member of the Maned Dog Mercenaries. The leader gave orders yesterday to give the Adventurers' Guild some credit if we met them outside. Unfortunately, they left en masse today. Otherwise, I, Carol, a level 5 trainee knight, would have made sure to show this group a 'good time'!"
......
Anno rode a level 6 wind wolf at the front of the group, followed by the fast marching adventurers.

Following Anno's side were Shore and the others.
Several people were discussing leading this group of rookie adventurers into battle.
Lily is leading the thieving adventurers scouting ahead.
It was a long way to the town of Gruul.
A journey of forty kilometers would take seven to eight hours even if the professionals were allowed to pack lightly with dry food and march quickly.
"Anno, these adventurers don't even have a decent weapon, can they really go against the slimes?"
It was Ning Wen who spoke.
Among the nine people now, she was the only one left who was still level 0.
The reason she said this was because the equipment of the adventurers following behind was really poor.
Apart from the very few level 3 or above adventurers who had iron weapons in their hands, the rest of them were holding mallets, long sticks, and the like.
Those who had a shovel in their hands were already considered good!
There were even some who came out with a wooden basin on their backs and empty hands!
Anno laughed unconcernedly as he rode on the wind wolf and said, "Slimes are not very strong in the first place when they remove the acid. I also took a mallet back and went to conquer the four-quarters of the grassland!"
"Conquering ...... the four quarters!"
The corners of Ning Wen's mouth tugged unconsciously, "But they're not like you!"
"Don't worry, don't imagine them to be so weak. These are all professionals who joined the Adventurer's Guild three days before it opened!"
Ning Wen was a little confused about what Anno meant and asked, "What's so special about that?"
"Haha, it shows that they haven't had their edges smoothed out inside until now, and still have a heart that wants to become stronger!"
Shore next to him laughed and explained instead of Anno, "If it was a normal person, they would just keep watching and would not be so quick to make a decision!"
"Yeah, whether they were looking at the bounty of the mission or they thought we had the Viscount standing behind us and wanted to ride on a big tree at our backs, at least they made a decision in a short time.
As far as action is concerned, they have surpassed the vast majority of people.
And the aim, naturally, is to become stronger.
Among them, there may be some who want to fish in troubled waters, but it has no bearing on us.
As a guild, our main task is to provide them with quests to the commission.
What happens to the adventurers themselves is none of our business.
It's just that now it's the early stage and we need to find some potential people to cultivate and expand the guild's fame.
Brother Shore, when you lead the group, watch out for any great guys."
"No problem!"
The latter part of the road was a bit boring. There are no demons or magical beasts.
And as a result, the group traveled at a fast pace.
They left Valcam at eight in the morning and saw the outline of the town of Gruul at around three in the afternoon.
The adventurers looked out over the grassland and the town from a long distance.
When they saw the Slimes everywhere, they could not help but gulp.
Only a few of them had wariness in their eyes.
"Artemis is above, the number of slimes is too many!"
"There's one almost three or five meters away. This is at least a thousand at a glance, and there must be more inside the grassland!"
"What are you afraid of? there are hundreds of us too. The Lord President is here too!"
"Almost all the crops to the west have been destroyed! The town of Gruul is not going to have a good year!"
"My greatsword is hungry and thirsty!"
......
Listening to the chatter of the adventurers around him, Anno rode his wind wolf to the front of the group and observed for a while.
The number of slimes was indeed large.
But basically, they were all below level 3.
The problem now was that the road leading to Gruul town was already filled with slimes.
If they wanted to enter the town, they had to clear a path out first!
Anno turned back to the disparate-looking adventurers and yelled, "Everyone rest in place for half an hour. In half an hour, come with me into the Gruul town!"

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep
