Episode 602 Goblin Principality (1)
Ray must have given orders to Zeke and the guards before.
– Give the Goblins a home in the unexplored lands of the Principality.
A bond made in the dungeon.
Unknowingly, Ray, who had a crush on the goblins, decided to arrange a place for them in his principality.
At his command, Zeke and the security guard roamed the unexplored land without rest, looking for a place where the goblins could live.
So-young arrived in front of a cave that looked quite deep and asked.
“How is this place?”
Although there is a steep cliff right in front of you, if you are careful, you will not fall to your death.
Zeke, who seemed tired from the long journey, gave his thumbs up and actively agreed.
“At this level, it’s a shame for the goblins. The outlook is good and you won’t be threatened by other monsters. It’s perfect. Let’s go here.”
Knowing well that Zeke needs to be particularly careful when he talks too much, So-yeong looked at Hong-young this time.
“…Hongyoung?”
“…Let’s go to the mountains.”
“…buy again?”
Soyoung asked again, but Hongyeong didn’t answer and moved on silently.
At that, Zeke let out a big sigh.
“It’s the third time yesterday and today. Why is he like that?”
“…”
Soyoung also kept her mouth shut.
At first, I understood and moved on.
There are times when Hongyoung doesn’t know what he’s thinking because he’s naturally a bit out of place.
At that time, I thought I was going to do that, but when it came to the third time, people got tired little by little.
However, since the other security guards quietly followed her, So-yeong didn’t say much either.
Soyoung, who had changed her night clothes that were tight to her body, looked at Zeke.
“…let’s go.”
At her words, Zeke looked up at the sky.
“Why are you giving me such an ordeal, Gaia?”
* * *
Did you wander around like that for several days?
Zeke, who had finally found a suitable place for the goblins to live, patted his hands.
“Hey, it’s okay for an ogre to live, not a goblin.”
At that, Soyoung let out a sigh.
“That is the right word. It’s only a large land mass, right here.”
As she said, the surroundings were completely empty.
There is only one large mountain behind it and a wasteland in front, so it is an environment that cannot be said to be good to live in with lies.
Zeke objected.
“You mean a monster. Originally, it’s a way to grow up by going through some hardships and fighting with monsters around you. This is the perfect place for that.”
If I’m not even a monster, how can I know the heart of a monster so accurately?
Something plausible said So-young’s heart was also shaken a little.
“…really?”
“Because it is. If I ask the goblins directly, they’ll say they like this place?”
Of course.
In the first place, when talking to the goblins, he would first draw his sword and speak.
‘A good place to live’.
I don’t know if it’s human standards.
Where would be a good place to live in terms of monster standards?
Feeling a little vague, Soyoung looked back again.
“What do you guys think?”
Cheongyoung kicked the floor once and replied.
“It is an extremely poor environment for farming. However, since monsters naturally eat meat, this place would be nice too.”
“yes? What does the blue friend know?”
“…I am Cheongyoung.”
Cheongyoung was disgusted by Zeke’s praise.
Heukyoung thought for a while and said.
“The lord’s order was clearly ‘prepare a site in the unexplored lands of the principality’. I don’t know about anything else, but it seems to match the will of the lord.”
The enemy also silently nodded.
Let the opinion be somewhat settled.
Soyoung looked at Hongyoung, the leader, for the last time.
“Hongyoung?”
When I asked in an anxious voice, I was sure it was different.
she said quietly.
“Let’s go to the mountain.”
mountain? mountain?
At those words, Soyoung finally exploded.
“also! It’s a mountain again! why? Now they don’t even ask to go to the beach!”
“…Soyoung.”
“I only go to the mountains once or twice! I’ve already climbed the mountain over 20 times!”
Raising her voice, she pulled up Cheongyoung’s sleeve.
Then, his arms were covered with traces of live insect bites.
“Look at this! Even Cheongyeong, who used to have fairer skin than most women, has become a gombo!”
“Go Gombo?”
“We came to find a place for the goblins. I thought we came to gather herbs in the mountains!”
At least I wouldn’t have done this if I had told him why.
I didn’t know why, and I was just in a state of collapse because I was riding the mountain like a mutt training.
Hongyoung blinked her big eyes in surprise, then nodded.
Did he finally convey his intention properly?
Soyoung was so moved that she felt like shed tears.
Let’s look at Hongyoung’s lips as we wait for the words to stop.
“…Still, I have to go to the mountains.”
Poetry X.
He tried to swallow the words that were about to come out of his throat.
If it seemed like she would shed tears of emotion just a few seconds ago, now it looks like shedding tears of blood.
Soyoung, who managed her emotions by using mana, took a deep breath and said.
“No, yes. It’s good to climb mountains, but let’s hear the reason. Why the hell do I have to go to the mountain instead of looking for a place to live?”
In the first place, while Hongyeong was looking for a place to live, if there were no mountains there, he would not even pay attention.
Why is he so obsessed with mountains?
Hongyoung licked her lips and spat out a word.
“breeding.”
“…”
The case fell further into obscurity.
Zeke, who had completely given up by now, stood up.
“Don’t lose your energy and quietly go for a mountain ride.”
“Ah…”
So-young’s body finally collapsed.
* * *
While Zeke and the receptionist are looking for shelter.
The goblins, who temporarily built a hut next to the village, cooperated with each other to raise their rent.
The fertility of the goblins far exceeded their imagination.
The goblins, who thought there were only 300 of them, reached 4,500 after only a month.
Is that all?
After being named by the Goblin Queen and Ray, the goblins, whose intelligence rose to the limit, came to build houses based on the architectural style of humans.
No, in some ways, it felt better than human homes.
Their changes did not appear only in civilization.
If the 1st generation dungeon goblins were similar in appearance to normal goblins, the 2nd generation goblins gradually showed the aspect of beings equipped with intelligence.
His stooped spine straightened out, and his small body rose to a level below that of an adult man.
Now, the perception of ‘profession’ has arisen, and hands have been extended from blacksmith goblins who make weapons to so-called ‘education’ that trains other goblins.
It is still at the level of imitating that of humans, but considering that they are only 3 generations, it was a remarkable development.
When Zeke and the security guard returned to the village after a hard fight (?).
The civilization of the goblins had already gone beyond making their own dwellings, and they had entered the time when they were making their own swordsmanship with mana unique to dungeon monsters.
It was absurd to see a mere monster wielding a sword with the mana accumulated in its body.
Zeke stared blankly at their swordsmanship, then opened his mouth.
“Uh, how can a goblin…”
I had heard about it from Ray beforehand, but seeing it in person gave me a new feeling.
Moreover, like a monster who was born with mana, he knew how to handle mana even though no one taught him.
Zeke grabbed the back of his neck as he looked at their weak sword skills.
It took three years for even him, who grew up listening to the sound of geniuses in the Holy Land, to pull out his sword skills.
It was embarrassing to even call it a sword aura.
However, since the monsters are drawing sword energy as naturally as breathing, how can this not be unfair?
“Hey Gaia.”
I have been praying a lot lately.
If Zeke had a tantrum, the receptionists were genuinely surprised.
Soyoung, who had gone through a lot of hardships, admired the look of the goblins.
“I had a hard time finding a place to live… but this… isn’t it the biggest level in the Principality of Soleil now?”
In the first place, the Principality of Soleil itself was an unexplored land teeming with monsters.
How many villages could there be in such a place?
Over 4,000 goblins unite to overturn the ground and raise buildings, forming a ‘village’.
Isn’t it only Soyoung and Zeke who are dumbfounded?
Even Chung-yeong, who had always been calm, was excited.
“It’s a village made by goblins! For such an outrageous thing to happen…!”
Let them make a fuss at the village entrance.
Several large goblins threatened with crude-looking swords.
“Krurrrruk! you guys! Who are you!”
The structure of the vocal cords itself was different, so the goblins’ speech was a bit slurred.
But what does that mean?
It was surprising enough that there was a monster that could speak human language.
Zeke smiled and came forward.
“It’s an intruder.”
“Chi intruder!”
I should calmly call the Goblin Queen.
Why do I get impatient when I see only those wielding swords?
Soyoung shook her head.
The goblins with hideous faces distorted came running with their swords raised.
“intruder! kill!”
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
Let the two goblins swing their swords.
As if to appreciate their swordsmanship.
Sieg watched it and then pulled out the sword from his waist.
Chae Ae Ae-!
Kaaaang-!
At first glance, the goblins seemed bewildered as they easily broke their swords with just one swing.
“It’s still not up to par.”
I twisted my wrist and applied strength to the sword face.
The goblins who tried to crush him with force lost their balance.
Flop-
It wasn’t until after the goblins lost their swords and slammed their butts on the ground.
Zeke put the sword back into his belt.
“Tell your queen that I have found a suitable place to stay.”
“That… wife?”
“Yes, where.”
“…”
The goblins who got up from their seats looked back at each other with slightly puzzled faces.
Apparently they didn’t kill themselves, so they weren’t intruders.
Judging from what he’s talking about, he seems to know the Queen well.
After understanding the situation to some extent, the goblins apologized.
“Excuse me. I didn’t know that I was acquainted with the Queen. I’m sorry about what just happened.”
Not knowing that the goblins would suddenly take an apology and apologize, Zeke waved his hand in embarrassment.
“Ah no…because I said I was an intruder in the first place…”
“We were taught not to point a sword at an innocent person. I apologize if I am wrong.”
Soyoung laughed beside him.
“Quack-quick. He really is not even a goblin.”
“…”
“I haven’t seen it like that, but it’s really too much.”
Even Chung-young turned his back.
“Truly, a human being. Rather, goblins are more gentlemanly.”
Jeokyoung criticized.
Hongyoung, who was still watching, also turned her head away from Zeke.
“…that’s bad.”
Zeke, who had become a low-end human in an instant, noticed the surroundings.
