◈ 351. [Free Exploration] Conversation
《This looked lousy.》
The true Carly-Alexandre was embarrassed. I shrugged.
“are you okay. I’ve seen many of your nightmare corps commanders’ even more lousy ones.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Aren’t they all nasty?”
“Are you saying you’re not like that?”
“At least you look better than those kids, don’t you? It would be funny for a goblin to say such a thing.”
It was funny, but honestly, it felt true to some extent.
Compared to the eccentric and heinous behavior of the Nightmare Corps commanders he had met so far, Carly-Alexandre was an enemy commander with some manners.
“If you like poetry that much, then shouldn’t you just write your own?”
Suddenly, I was curious and asked.
He used a lot of fancy vocabulary. Even if writing a famous poem is difficult, wouldn’t it be enough to improve your skills? want to
“We who have been resurrected here cannot create anything new,”
Carly-Alexandre replied bitterly.
《We are extracted from memories of the past… … This is because it is nothing more than a ‘shadow’ of a nightmare.》
“Extract from memory? A nightmare shadow?”
When I questioned myself, Carly-Alexandre gave a slow nod.
《I can’t say it’s a good thing since I told you a beautiful poem, but I’ll explain about our ‘monster’.》 The
Goblin God King explained slowly.
The monsters are memories of the past extracted from the nightmares of the residents of the Lake Kingdom.
All of them are failures who once threatened the existence of mankind, but were eventually eradicated.
The King of Kings – that is, the Demon King revived them through a special process, and the revived nightmares swore absolute loyalty to the Demon King.
《In the process of reviving us, King Wangjung seems to have interfered with our spirits. We instinctively obeyed the King of Kings, and at the same time.”
Carly-Alexandre’s gaze glanced at me.
“I came to have hostility toward mankind. Several times stronger than before.”
I frowned.
The hatred for humans that had been felt from the bottom of their souls whenever they encountered monsters.
‘That hatred… … Was it intentionally amplified by the demon king?’
The hatred I face is not for each of these monsters… … Was it the devil’s will?
“Your King of Kings seems to hate humans very much.”
“Yes. You definitely want to annihilate royalties. Maybe that’s why he
interfered with our spirit. ”
“haha… I never hated humans in my life. No, it was the one I liked.”
Doesn’t it mean that there was nothing to amplify because I didn’t harbor a lot of hatred in the first place?
Callie-Alexandre let out a light sigh and slowly raised her head and looked up into the dark sky.
“Anyway, it is. We are stuffed like this forever, wandering under the darkness of this place… … It is nothing more than a servant’s life waiting for the King of Kings’ orders.》
“… .”
“We are beings who can only dwell on the past forever. It is impossible to create something new. This is why I write poetry. It’s absurd.]
“Have you tried it?”
Carly-Alexander looked a little taken aback when I threw it.
《… To be honest, I’ve never tried writing poetry in my life. I was only good at destroying and burning, but I had no talent for making or arranging something.”
“Then try it later.”
Did you decide that you couldn’t do it without even trying it?
I was dumbfounded, so I smiled and nodded.
“You know? Will a plausible phrase come out?”
《… .”
Carly-Alexandre, who had been dazed as if she had been hit in the head, burst out laughing.
“I will try it once. And I’m sorry to keep making requests, but in case… … Can you tell me how the outside world has changed in the meantime?”
I frowned for a moment, but then opened my mouth in silence.
Anyway, the meeting should go on for 30 minutes. This is a topic that has nothing to lose, but there was no reason not to talk about it.
For the rest of the day, he talked about the history of the outside world. I’ve only heard about it, but I know it roughly.
《… Right. After all, did the human race become the losers of the world?”
Carly-Alexandre nodded after listening to my savage history lecture.
《To think that a young race that did not even have a single guardian tree would become the final victor. That’s amazing.”
“Guardian tree?”
“It is also called the guardian tree. A tree that protects each race… … A tree of grace bestowed by the god of that tribe. A spiritual passage that connects the gods of the spirit world and the races of the underworld.”
I blinked my eyes curiously.
No, do humans have it? There is a black thorn tree called Everblack. There is one in the imperial capital… … .
‘That’s the original… … It wasn’t there?’
Come to think of it, not too long ago, when I was exploring the District 6 dungeon [Lab]. I found a branch of Everblack here.
A twig of Everblack found in the Lake Kingdom, which was destroyed 500 years ago.
And the Everblack Empire, which began to grow in size from a small kingdom by declaring the Emperor 500 years ago.
If all of this has anything to do with… ?
《We goblins also don’t have a guardian tree.》
Carly-Alexandre’s words continued to ring in my ears as I pondered.
“Neither humans nor goblins were blessed by the gods, but humans came to rule the world, and the goblins live here licking the darkness.”
I asked, feeling a bit puzzled.
“You are the god of goblins. Shouldn’t you just bless your race?”
《… I am not a god.”
The Goblin God King shook his head.
“It’s just that my own people supported me on their own. They put ‘Kali-‘ in front of my name and worshiped me as a god… … In the end, there was an opportunity to obtain godhood, but I refused.》
“What? why?”
《It was because the moment he gained divinity, he would no longer be able to be the leader of our tribe. My people still needed me.”
Carly-Alexandre laughed bitterly.
《I wanted to achieve something only with the power of my tribe without borrowing the power of God. It failed beautifully in the end.》
“… .”
“So, I’m not a god, I’m just a failure. I’m just a goblin who was lucky enough to sit on the throne.”
The conversation was cut off for a moment at the end of his self-deprecating murmur.
I wanted to ask more, but Carly-Alexandre began to slowly adjust her garb.
Come to think of it, almost 30 minutes had already passed.
“Thank you for accommodating my request today. Thank you for telling me the beautiful poems and for letting me know about the past history.》
“Nothing special.”
I’m going to kill you now If you gave me 30 minutes of chatting with no money on the road to the underworld, it was cheap.
“I hate to say it’s a price, but let me teach you something,”
whispered Carly-Alexandre, who rose from her seat.
《This time, the ‘blessing’ that the King of Kings bestowed on our tribe… … It is ‘breeding’.》
“… ?!”
I was confused at the moment because the words were different, but it was easy to understand.
Dark event of this stage.
Its contents… … What is breeding?
“But as I said before, we are only shadows replicating the nightmares of the past. Such things as procreation are impossible.”
Carly-Alexandre slowly looked back at her corps.
《So, the King of Kings is ‘cloning’ my corps… … My legion to invade Inse this time will be much more numerous than usual.》
“… .”
“Guardian of public interest, if you can prepare, please prepare. Before the waves of my race hit your castle walls.”
I stood up from my seat and gnashed my teeth.
“Why are you giving me this information?”
Does it matter if I tell you this much? Or is it that I need to find out so I can’t respond?
But the answer that came back was unexpected.
《Because I don’t want to attack you.》
“What?”
《However, a leader cannot and should not lead his tribe according to his own will.》
Kali-Alexandre turned around and murmured softly.
《… I wanted to be born as a human. If it wasn’t that, it would have been better if it had been born as a play of a verse of a verse of a verse of a song of a verse. But I’m a goblin It is an unavoidable monster.》
“… .”
《We goblins are monsters whose business is invading, invading, and plundering. If this is the natural nature of our people, and if I am their leader, I have an obligation to lead them.”
Carly-Alexandre looked back at me and muttered bitterly.
“I rejected the godhead and did not sit on the throne because I wanted to. however… If my people treat me as a god and a king, I also have an obligation not to abandon that responsibility.》
“… .”
《He who knows the beauty of the shear.》
Carly-Alexandre, standing in front of her goat, took the goat’s reins.
“Let’s go back to the human race. And let them enjoy the beauty of the splendid culture you have achieved until the very end.》
“… .”
“I am going to follow the natural instinct of my kind – to kill and burn it.”
I grinned and gnashed my teeth and raised my hand.
“Do you think I’ll be nice to let you go here, goblin?”
Immediately, Damian and Junior prepared a long-range attack on the castle wall, and my warriors were ready to rush out through the open gate.
Kali-Alexander is completely immune to long-range shooting and magic. However, it is weak in close combat.
Just like the strategy originally set up, while Junior and Damian pour firepower into the goblin corps, the avant-garde classes rush in and kill the goblin god king… … !
But without even turning around, Carly-Alexandre murmured softly:
《You’re misunderstanding something, human.》
Then he waved his hand lightly.
《I am the one who calmly sends you.》
Kung! thud! thud!
Suddenly, the earth’s axis rang in all directions.
Surprised, I looked around and finally found it.
Advancing from afar while encircling the Colosseum… … A horde of goblins.
I thought there were a thousand or so goblins waiting in front, but it wasn’t.
The number of goblins that surrounded the Colosseum tightly, bowed upwards and slowly closed the gap… … It seemed ten times that.
A well-tanned leather armor on the body, a horn bow made of buffalo horns on the hand, and a short bow on the waist.
An army of fully armed goblins.
thud! thud! thud!
Every time they roll their feet in perfect order, I choke.
All the while I didn’t know
number.
It was the first time I truly felt that numbers were such a powerful weapon.
“What is this quantity?!”
“too… many… !”
The shouts of panicked party members were heard.
I gritted my teeth and glared at Carly-Alexander from behind. The Goblin God King was just sitting on the saddle of a goat.
Hitting me on the back right now?
Wouldn’t it be better to kill it quickly and escape by teleporting?
However, if the battle is delayed even slightly, it will be surrounded by more than 10,000 goblins. Then there is no way to escape safely… … .
Poof!
Carly-Alexandre, standing on top of a goat, waved her arms, and the advancing goblin army stopped in an instant like a lie.
Then Carly-Alexandre swung her arms across once more, and the goblins began to slowly back away.
Still aiming thousands of arrows at us.
“It was a pleasant conversation. Thank you, Ash
.
《However, there is a separate conversation suitable for the commanders of a group of enemies who are hostile to each other.》
“… .”
《See you again on the battlefield soon.》
Dag dag dag dag-
The goat carrying the Goblin God King moves away.
At the same time, the goblin legion withdrew from around the Colosseum as if the tide was going down.
In less than 10 minutes, they disappeared cleanly into the darkness of the Lake Kingdom.
Tring!
Before the occupation, the system information about defeating the first wave of the monster wave came to mind.
Annoyedly I set it aside. Defeating is a bitch.
‘We didn’t do any harm to each other… … .’
In other words, it did no damage on the other side.
The enemy commander was right in front of me, but to miss the kill chance like this… … !
‘… No, he was even called the God King.’
You must have been very careful about your own safety.
Besides being surrounded by the goblin army, he must have secured at least some means to protect himself and applied for a meeting with me.
I flicked through the system window, flicking my hair. Still, I got a lot of information, and most of all, I encountered an army of goblins.
This means that the next stage enemy information will now be displayed… but… … .
“… ?”
When I opened the stage enemy information window, I blinked.
“… What’s this.”
There
