I Am Not A Goblin Slayer-Chapter 392 - 244:

The white tower before them had a distinct oceanic style, resembling a lighthouse on the shore.

The tower’s location was on a nearby high ground, offering a presumably excellent view.

People came and went at the entrance, Gauss and the others paused for a moment before walking inside.

Upon stepping through the door, the internal space was spacious and bright.

Each locality’s Adventurer’s Guild station had its own distinct characteristics.

In a coastal port city like Senna, the decoration prominently featured oceanic landscapes.

The ceiling in the hall was exceedingly high, ingeniously designed into a spiral shell-like structure, with walls overhead inlaid with Magic Crystal Stones emitting a soft glow.

The walls weren’t ordinary stone, but built with a smooth, naturally waved-textured light-colored stone.

A giant bay model was placed at the center of the hall, simulating the surrounding terrain, ocean patterns, and island distribution.

Moreover, many large, yellowed sea charts caught the eye, marked with skull symbols indicating dangerous sea areas and routes.

Various artistically designed ship models, ships in bottles, and processed sea beast skulls adorned the Adventurer’s Guild’s leisure area.

The air was permeated with a faint salty scent of the sea, likely from some unique perfume, not unpleasant, perfectly masking the sweat, leather smell, and various mixed odors emanating from the adventurers.

Besides the oceanic-themed decorations, Gauss noticed some content unique to this place.

That was in the hall on the second floor.

A giant bulletin board was pinned with many bust images of people.

Gauss leaned in and found amounts noted at the bottom of these images.

These were clearly not ordinary task commission sheets but warrants.

Thinking of the menacing faces of the criminals above, memories from Gauss’ past life were awakened in his mind.

Numerous warrants, pirates, alien raiders, criminals committing wrongdoings...truly a "galaxy of humanoid stars."

"Attacked merchant ships, killed more than fifty crew members."

"Disguised as a distressed ship in the Misty Passage, lured and slaughtered rescuers."

"Colluded with sea demons to cause shipwrecks."

"Engaged in illegal slave trade, captured coastal residents and fishermen."

Besides humans, numerous wanted Sea Race criminals could also be seen.

The amounts varied, from 10 Gold Coins to 500 Gold Coins.

Gauss hadn’t seen any bounty warrant below 10 Gold Coins; perhaps their strength was too weak, lacking special bounty necessity.

However, these tempting white bounties were actually difficult to claim.

Take the highest bounty amount of 500 Gold Coins as an example, for a brutal, semi-human semi-shark sea race called "Fissure Fin." His estimated strength level was about Level 8.

Moreover, located in the ocean, this kind of semi-human semi-shark sea race moved freely, even if you could suppress him with strength, he was hard to trace.

But 500 Gold Coins is indeed significant, and considering strong figures of this level, the loot that could be plundered from him would already be considerable.

Overall, if he could actually be killed, the single action’s Gold Coin earnings could easily break a thousand.

Gauss’ gaze lingered on the bounty board for a while.

Ensured that when any of the people above appeared in front of him, he could recognize their identity immediately.

After memorizing all the faces.

He approached the counter, presenting his Adventurer Identity Badge, the Black Tooth Tribe’s commission letter, briefly explaining the situation, and the receptionist’s demeanor immediately became solemn.

"I will notify the leader for you on this side."

"Okay, thank you for your effort."

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Gauss turned his head to observe the distribution of professionals on the second floor.

Adventurers from Level 1-5 were present, mostly Level 1 professionals, but unlike in Gray Rock Town, a small place, professionals here were more numerous, so sightings of Level 5 adventurers were frequent.

Besides that, Gauss also saw several adventurers with Black Iron Level identity badges hanging in front of them, but they did not stay on the second floor and directly moved towards the third floor via the stairs.

So, is the third floor a space for higher-level adventurers?

Gauss pondered thoughtfully.

In adventurer guild stations in towns like Gray Rock Town and Forest Crown Town, just two floors would suffice, but in big cities where powerful adventurers abound, naturally, a new venue was needed for these people.

He had no objections to this.

Different levels, different circles were normal.

It was also beneficial for low-level adventurers.

Reducing contact opportunities also decreases the chance of friction; moreover, the discrepancy in strength levels means commission levels faced differ entirely, segregation aids in efficiency.

Of course, while agreeing with this practice in his heart, it did not mean Gauss wasn’t envious deep down.

People always look forward to a better future.

While Gauss was reflecting.

The receptionist had already returned from the third floor with a female leader.

"Click—click—click."

Her heels hit the smooth floor tiles, producing crisp striking sounds.

Drawing the attention of the other adventurers on the second floor. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Her fluffy long hair casually draped over her left shoulder, with serene golden-framed glasses, cradling a stack of documents in her hands.

However, contrary to her professional attire, Gauss faintly sensed a restrained presence belonging to a professional emanating from her.

Clearly, she was no ordinary office staff incapable of handling a chicken.

Under the gaze of curious eyes, she gracefully walked up to Gauss and his companions.
