Chapter 28 – Subjugating Goblins
Goblin Park received three skulls.
“Wow, Mr. I never imagined something like this.”
After the mad slaughter party, we counted the corpses of the goblins. There were as many as forty corpses of goblins who had been burned to death, suffocated to death, crushed to death, and punctured and cut. It was a great number.
At first, I thought it would be beneficial to catch only 4 per person, but in terms of numbers, it was 10 more than twice that. It was 3 coopers per head, so 30 coopers per day was a very expensive price for playing with fire while hiking.
“Uh… The smell of burning meat…”
“Can you eat goblin meat too?”
“Not very recommended.”
Surprisingly, the smell of burning meat was fragrant.
It had been a year since he had tasted proper meat. Goblins are also monsters, so I wonder if they’ll taste good if they’re properly grilled, but I don’t think I’ll be able to eat them because they’re all burned. Aren’t they all lumps of carcinogens? No matter how urgent the meat is, it’s not a bit.
“Shouldn’t I cut my hair anyway?”
Gibson said. As the saying goes, we had to cut off the head and bring it back as proof of the subjugation of the goblins. However, it was difficult to take it because there were so many. As I said, I was only thinking about four, so I didn’t bring a sack.
“Maybe it would be good to move it? No matter how, there are only 40 heads.”
“Since the village is close, can’t we just make the round trip twice?”
“I guess so.”
In any case, we carried out an unbelievable, unprecedented task of cutting off the heads of goblins one by one.
No matter how much I have adapted to this world, my sensitivity is that of a modern earthling.
Even if it is one or two, it is impossible to enjoy the task of separating the body and head at the site of such a massacre.
Naturally, my hands slowed down. Not to mention Sandt, even Gibson and Meria are cutting their hair like tofu, so it’s a bit embarrassing to be the only one doing this.
“Ugh.”
Meria, who had pulled her head all the way through her spine with force as if her neck bones were not being cut properly, let out a voice that sounded like she was fed up. The black blood clots and dangling vertebrae created an absurdly horrifying scene.
Uh hey As she hesitated at the sight, Meria looked at me and said,
“What, have you not done that much yet?
“Seeing them die in groups, it suddenly made me feel gross.”
“What? Gross? You’re a little meticulous for a man.”
“Maria-san, isn’t that gross?”
“Well? Not really?”
Hagisa I was born and raised in a world where death and killing are commonplace, so being a woman is no different. Didn’t he beat the goblins to death with excitement earlier? It is a world where cruelty and ruthlessness are virtues.
A different world is a fucking hard place for a kind person like me to live.
With that knife, he cut off the goblin’s head. It really couldn’t have been a dog-fucking job.
“I have the impression that all immigrants are savage, but I don’t think they are all like that.”
“People from my hometown anyway… It’s appalling.”
That way, as she cut off 40 heads and laid them side by side, she felt like a police officer witnessing a collection of bizarre delusional blobs found in the home of an antisocial homicidal serial killer.
Aigoo, sir.
Involuntarily, the swear words rose up.
It was a real dog-fuck experience.
“What about the torso?”
“Leave it alone. All other monsters will come and eat it.”
Asked Gibson, who was pushing the missing torsos with his feet his, Sant said it was no big deal. Actually, the goblins and we are not even friends. I don’t think there is any need to bury it. If left alone, wouldn’t everything become a part of nature?
It is also baked just right.
“The smoke seems to have gone down soon, so why don’t you go inside now?”
Said Marya.
“Oh, there it was.”
I looked inside the cave. It seemed that the smoke had dissipated to some extent after the corpse had been cleaned up.
If so, it’s time to start exploring the goblin’s den in earnest. As much as they are intelligent, they have a habit of collecting ‘useful’ things in their burrows.
Now that the house is completely empty, robbing their burrows will yield better loot than taking a few heads.
“Wouldn’t it be better to wait a little longer?”
“I agree. Let’s wait a little longer. It’s troublesome if you choke.”
At Sant’s words, we sat down nearby and took a break.
Vigorous exercise drains water from the body. I drank the water slowly and the smell of burning meat gave me an appetite.
Maybe about 20 minutes passed. I followed Sand, who got up first, and entered the cave. There was a slight smell of burning, but this seemed to have dissipated all the smoke.
“For now, be careful.”
Gibson said. As he said, there was a possibility that the remaining forces of the surviving goblins might remain inside.
If we were careless and got hit in the back of the head, it was clear that the cost of treatment would be shattered again, so we each slowly investigated the cave with our tools pointed forward. Meria, who raised her shield, was in charge of the front, and I was at the rear of the party, guarding the rear.
The inside of the cave was very dark. However, things like mineral powder embedded in the sparsely visible walls gave off light, and the view was moderately open. I don’t know what those things are, but when I went into a cave or something, there were often cases where they glowed.
“There are a few more corpses.”
There must have been more goblins who couldn’t get out, but there were a few goblins that were stretched out everywhere. We fed each of the lying bastards with a slice of bread. It’s been four months, and there’s no chance that he’ll be alive, but the confirmation kill was essential among the essentials.
When these ten fucking goblins are pretending to be behind, and then wake up, wow, fucking surprise! Because the liver could fall while doing it. If the liver falls, there is no medicine.
“Oh my, these look like pups. How pitiful.”
At the innermost part of the cave, after turning a curve, a small room appeared. There were dead baby goblins gathered in 5th order.
Meria looked at them and said that she felt sorry for them, but she didn’t seem to have words for those of us who just roasted their mother and father and cut them with a knife.
“It’s a shame. If you catch these and sell them in the arena, you’ll get some money.”
Since the arena always buys monsters that will act as players’ opponents, monster offspring or eggs are always purchased at high prices. By the way, are you going to hit the baby goblin with 3 copper? I was going to cut her hair first, but she didn’t because she noticed Meria who had just said that she felt sorry for her.
“Something is just lying around.”
“Indeed.”
When I went further inside, there were various things scattered all over the place.
Unidentifiable bones or fur. In addition to tree branches, there were also tools used by humans. Usually a rusted ax or a rusted knife. Or half-broken arrowheads, etc.
Goblins know how to use tools. Therefore, we know that human tools are very good. That’s why people who see such things pick them up like this. Although rusty, iron blades possess considerable power.
Looking at it, it looks like something goblins used to carry, but it seems like they threw everything away because they rushed out after a fire broke out.
I picked up a crude dagger that looked very old.
“No, there are a lot of them. There’s nothing particularly worthwhile. They’re all worn out. Wow, look at this rust. Is it an ancient relic?”
“Um… That’s right. I expected it for nothing.”
“But let’s take care of everything for now.”
“Of course.”
In any case, bringing these tools and selling them will make money, so I made sure to bring all the things I could bring.
And so, the quest was finally over. After coming out, we gathered the equipment and the head in one place and settled the bill.
“Forty-three heads… Several tools that don’t seem worth much… Dividing this by four, I think it’s roughly 35 coppers per person.”
With all the tools he had packed on the goblin’s head, it seemed obvious that he couldn’t move it all at once.
As Meria said, there would be no choice but to make two round trips. It’s soon though. Because the village is right in front of you.
“It’s too much to move all at once. I’ll have to come back.”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a sack.”
I made two round trips to the village like that.
“Oh… You’ve collected a lot! With this much, you won’t have to worry about crops in the future! As expected, it’s Santra! It’s worth trusting me!”
It wasn’t until the sun went down that the transportation was over. The old man we saw earlier in the morning welcomed us with a reward. Seeing that the corners of his mouth were hanging from his ears, he seemed genuinely satisfied with the death of the goblins.
“Chairman Nari.
“Well, the quality isn’t very good. But if you take it to the forge and sell it, you’ll get a few pennies. No, I’ll just buy it from here.”
“Thank you.”
The money he received as compensation was 145 Coopers. Meria and Gibson and I split 35 coppers each, and gave the remaining 40 coppers to Sandt. In reality, it was as if he had used his village connections to dispose of junk that he might or might not sell, so he gave it in return. There were no complaints.
Sandt expressed his gratitude.
“Shall we go back?”
“I see.”
“Oh, I want to go to sleep soon.”
Completed the first E-class quest in Isvant. Now go back to the guild and stamp it, and that’s it. Hey, 35 Cooper. It was a pretty decent payoff. I’ve been lucky these days It is a daily party that could not have been imagined in the past.
Overall, the party members were full of ideas, and the quest went smoothly without any problems. These few could be counted on one hand.
“I’ll stay here, so I’ll ask you to deal with it.”
Sant said to us who were about to return to the city.
“Is it because it’s a town you know? Are you going to sleep?”
“That’s right.”
“Well, yes.”
Sant remained in the village, and only the rest of us returned to the adventurer’s guild. It wasn’t until the sun went down completely from the middle that it was completely dark before we arrived at the guild.
I passed the tables where the drinking party had already taken place and received the quest completion stamp.
It was a truly thrilling moment.
“It was easier than I thought. Fire. If something like this happens later, I’ll have to use it again.”
“I agree. I think I learned something good from Sant.”
If there’s something oystered up, set it on fire, and the crowd will applaud.
I repeated those words.
“Hey, just talk comfortably. You’re going to go to and from the guild anyway and see it all the time, right? Come to think of it, I was the only one who was doing that.”
Maria said so. Come to think of it, I was always saying respectful words.
I felt a kind of freshness in this. All she knew was Winia, but it was unbelievable that she would be so kind and treat me on a daily basis. Meria’s attitude gave me a strange feeling.
Apparently, Meria seemed kind.
“Is that so? So what? Farewell, Meria.”
“Attitude change is fast. Yes, Kat. Goodbye to you too.”
As she smiled and waved her hand her, I also smiled and waved her hand her.
“Thank you for today. It seems like you were able to get the job done easily thanks to you.”
“No, thank you. It’s because all four of you worked hard on your job. Mr. Gibson, please go home. I hope we can work together again sometime.”
“Then goodbye.”
After saying goodbye to Gibson, we all parted ways.
Such a successful party was rare in my life. Just like the rule that if five people gather, one person must be garbage, most of the parties I entered had flaws somewhere. Originally, that’s the average adventurer’s personality.
I never thought it would end so smoothly… I went back to the inn with a happy heart.
It was dinner time at the inn, as usual. The owner subtly asked if I would like to have a meal, but he refused because he didn’t think it was worth paying money for.
Instead, I bought a beer. Then, after entering the room, taking off all of her clothes and emptying herself of the cup, she happily threw herself on the bed.
So fell asleep
