I’m not Goblin Slayer Chapter 079

“You can read it first,” The child also very sensibly handed out a small booklet.

Gauss took it and simply flipped through it. Although he was not sure about the authenticity of the content, it was well-illustrated and looked quite decent.

It included a simplified map of the town, marking some important shops and town districts, as well as the area and time of the spellcaster apprentice gathering he needed, precautions, and other contents.

It was called a guide, but in fact, it was also a strategy guide summarized by others, aimed at travelers who came to Wormwood Town for the first time.

After confirming the content and feeling that it was unlikely to be fabricated, Gauss took out twenty copper coins and handed them to the child.

After passing through the town center square and passing by what looked like the liveliest tavern, he once again saw the familiar luxurious carriage. It was the group of people he had encountered yesterday.

Sure enough, their destination was also Wormwood Town.

As Gauss observed, by coincidence, the man in the silver chainmail shirt just walked out of the tavern.

His eyes met Gauss’s across the air again, and his brows subconsciously furrowed.

This was not to say that he was surprised that Gauss appeared in Wormwood Town, after all, he had inquired about the destination of this caravan yesterday, but he did not expect such a coincidence, meeting him again in front of the tavern.

After the two nodded to each other again, neither had any intention of talking, and they quickly went their separate ways.

Gauss found a budget hotel to check in.

He began to read the guide in his hand more carefully.

When he read it in detail, he found that in addition to the gathering, the town also had a very interesting address, the Spellcaster Apprentice Mutual Aid Association.

The guide introduced that this was not an official organization, but a loose folk organization spontaneously formed by the spellcaster apprentices in the town. It had a history of several decades, and apprentices could fairly exchange information, form teams, help each other train, and so on.

Considering that the gathering would only open in the evening.

Gauss decided to go to this Mutual Aid Association first to see if there were any unexpected gains.

Following the map guidance in the guide, Gauss finally arrived at a three-story red brick building.

This red brick building looked no different from the surrounding residential houses. If it weren’t for a signboard with a name hanging at the door, at least Gauss would not be able to distinguish it from the surrounding buildings.

“Eh?”

Walking into the building, Gauss was immediately attracted by a statue in the hall.

The statue was not large, only about 90 centimeters high, placed on a display stand in the center of the hall, and carved very meticulously.

Looking closely, it seemed to be a miniature adult female, proudly standing with her hands on her hips on a high display stand, her head looking down at him from above.

Gauss narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping up and down the statue, the more he looked, the more familiar it became, and suddenly he realized.

“Isn’t this Anderny!”

Looking closely at the statue’s face, it was almost identical to Anderny’s.

“Welcome to the Spellcaster Apprentice Mutual Aid Association, I am Vice President Lawrence.” A man walked out of the adjacent office.

“Hello, I’m Gauss, may I ask about this statue?” To confirm his guess, Gauss deliberately looked at the statue and asked.

“This is the first president of our Spellcaster Apprentice Mutual Aid Association, Ms. Anderny, a halfling, and also a powerful professional mage.”

Sure enough! No wonder Anderny recommended him here.

His thoughts drifted back a few days ago.

“If you want to fully train, I recommend you go to Wormwood Town. That’s a place where spellcaster apprentices huddle together for warmth. I went there many years ago, and I heard it hasn’t changed much since then,” Anderny said seriously before sending him off.

She said she had been there, but it turned out this was the organization she founded.

Gauss couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Could you introduce Ms. Anderny to me?” He couldn’t help but be a little curious.

Although he had met the halfling Anderny twice and received a lot of care, he knew almost nothing about her. Now was a good opportunity to learn more about her.

“Hehe.” Who would have thought that upon hearing Gauss’s question, Lawrence, who claimed to be the current vice president, scratched his head awkwardly.

“The era when Ms. Anderny established the association is too long ago. We only know that she was a kind lady, and it is said that the last time she appeared at the association, she was already a Black Iron-level adventurer.”

Oh? Gauss caught the last “Black Iron-level” and was a little surprised.

Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, these are the Adventurer’s Guild’s classifications for adventurers.

Don’t look at Black Iron being only at the second level, seemingly insignificant.

But Gauss had been a low-level adventurer for a while, and he had inquired about the levels he was destined to reach in the future.

Theoretically, the highest-level adventurers coming and going in Greystone Town were Bronze-level, because higher-level commission quests would not fall to the Greystone Town Adventurer’s Guild.

And a Black Iron-level adventurer, even in a city like Barry, could be considered a prominent figure, capable of handling town-level crises.

Thinking of Anderny lying on a chair, drooling in her lazy state a few days ago, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He suspected that Lawrence, in order to glorify his association, might have exaggerated Anderny’s level.

In his original guess, Anderny was most likely a Bronze-level adventurer.

Temporarily putting aside the question of Anderny’s strength, Gauss began to get to the point of his visit.

The Spellcaster Apprentice Mutual Aid Association, if its function was true to its name, its purpose was easy to understand.

After learning about it from Lawrence, he found that it did not deviate much from his expectations.

The Mutual Aid Association was literally a place where a group of spellcaster apprentices helped each other, involving no monetary transactions, only labor exchange.

The most common activities were helping each other train skills, simulating actual combat, and so on.

“However, if you want to officially join, you need to obtain 5 letters of introduction from ordinary members, or 1 official letter of recommendation, do you know about this?” Lawrence asked.

Gauss recalled. He naturally couldn’t have 5 letters of introduction from ordinary members, but it seemed Anderny had given him an envelope.

He opened it and saw that it was empty, with only a piece of paper stamped with a golden seal.

“Is this it?”

He tentatively handed over the letter.

Lawrence took it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The magical fluctuations on it were very familiar. He had felt similar magical fluctuations on the third floor, which were magical traces left by Ms. Anderny.

Such magical fluctuations could not be faked.

Thinking of Gauss asking him about Ms. Anderny just now, his gaze towards Gauss became a little strange.

However, although he was very confused, since Gauss had an official letter of recommendation, indicating that Gauss was a trustworthy insider, he could only help Gauss with the membership application first.

A few minutes later, Gauss received his member badge and explained the purpose of his visit.
