I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

In the VIP room, Gauss and the others were unreserved and began to review the rewards listed on the checklist.

The content was rich, mainly focusing on spells and various items.

Of course, many of the items on the checklist needed to be brought in from other places, as Gray Rock Town, being a small town, didn’t have such an abundance of reward stock.

”You can take your time choosing from this checklist, and once you’re done, come back to confirm it with me,”

Abelhard said casually, seeing everyone lost in thought.

Normally, even if the Adventurer’s Guild grants special rewards to adventurers who make outstanding contributions, they wouldn’t allow adventurers to take the reward checklist away from the guild due to unknown risks.

However, Gauss and his companions were different. He was considered a whitelist within the Adventurer’s Guild, allowing him considerable freedom in many matters.

Moreover, he was busy at the moment, so he indicated that they could take their time to consider.

Gauss and the others didn’t bother the guild too much and soon returned to their residence.

The checklist included many spells, ranging from 4th Ring and below, along with other skills fitting the professions of the team members.

Gauss knew that Abelhard chose to include some 4th Ring spells in the list likely after learning two days ago that he could use 4th Ring spells.

Speaking of which, after obtaining the 4th Ring spell ”Ice Storm,” his offensive spells were already sufficient.

Water Manipulation and Ice Storm, these two 4th Ring spells, could both be used for offense.

In terms of 3rd Ring, there was the Fireball Technique; for 2nd Ring, the Dagger Cloud; for the 1st Ring, the Magic Missile; and the 0th Ring, the Flaming Arrow—these were spells he used frequently.

So rather than offensive spells, he now leaned more toward functional spells.

Choosing only offensive spells was actually wasteful, as current spells he mastered might already achieve similar effects.

He stared at the checklist, observing that the 4th Ring spells were not many, and were all spells that could be sourced from nearby towns in a short time.

[Secret Eye]

After casting, a floating invisible magical eye can be created through Magic Power.

This eye possesses normal vision, can see in the dark, and detect traces left by Magic Power.

The caster can control the magic eye to move freely, observe any direction, and receive visual information transmitted by the Secret Eye through spiritual connection.

[Confusion Skill]

The caster selects a target to release the skill, briefly bombarding their mind with a flood of junk information, twisting the creature’s will and sending it into a confused and stagnant state.

[Biological Positioning Skill]

By imagining a creature familiar to them, the caster can perceive its location within a certain distance and, if the creature is mobile, also know its movement direction.

The perceived distance is related to the user’s mental strength.

Gauss, in fact, didn’t ponder for long.

[Biological Positioning Skill]

He definitely wanted to secure it.

This skill would be perfect for use during his voyages in the wilderness, occasionally bringing it out to find familiar old friends and reminisce.

Though he’s able to ride Hephaestus into the sky and use the Eagle Eye monocular to spot creatures on land,

often monsters wouldn’t foolishly appear in open areas to expose themselves; more frequently, they hid in vegetation, caves, or other hidden terrains.

No matter how sharp his eyes are like Eagle Eyes, it’s challenging to lock onto such hidden targets from the sky.

With the Biological Positioning Skill, as long as a monster gets within a certain distance, it can’t escape the magic’s detection, greatly saving Gauss’s time.

However, the magic’s perception range might require further testing.

After temporarily choosing this skill, he handed the checklist to his teammates to make their selections—since their reward also had a limit—and waited to officially exchange rewards. If any remained, he would consider other spell choices.

In the afternoon, Gauss felt his body recovering steadily.

After telling his teammates, he went outside the city to train the newly acquired skill.

Outside the city, the land was desolate.

The remnants of destruction from the recent battlefield could vaguely be seen, the pothole-ridden land blanketed by snow.

No traces of creatures could be seen amidst the white landscape; regular sights like snow foxes and snow rabbits were nowhere in sight.

”Body Multiplication Skill”

Gauss tested the skill dropped by the ogre leader he killed during the Demonic Hour.

With a gentle movement in Gauss’s mind,

he felt his body slowly heating up, then under his gaze, his body expanded gradually and his vision rose higher.

Feeling the constraint from his robe and the clothes underneath, Gauss revealed a slightly embarrassed expression, stopping the effect of the Body Multiplication Skill.

This skill wasn’t a spell but a skill consuming Physical Strength.

Evidently, it could only enlarge his body, while his clothes couldn’t expand along with it.

If needing to use this spell later, he’d either have to swallow his pride and fight enemies in the buff, or find a way to enlarge and shrink clothing, or find adaptive stretchable clothing.

Gauss thought when exchanging rewards, he could inquire Abelhard and ask him to use the guild’s channels to search for it.
