Chapter 15 – An Unexpected Request

Everything went smoothly.
The process of taming Agnes’ body and the extermination of goblins whose origins are unknown.

Of course, it wasn’t like me and the knights running around to catch them.
This is because, thanks to the information I provided, other soldiers, such as the guards, were able to easily deal with it.

The catch was that the number of goblins was gradually decreasing, and the wizard goblin, presumed to be the leader, had not yet been found.
Still, since they are not strong demons, the guards will probably kill them sooner or later.

Anyway, since I didn’t have to go to the knights, I could only focus on Agnes.

Her resistance is getting weaker and her body’s response is getting better with each passing day, so it won’t be long until I see her praying to me.

‘I think I need something stronger now.’

Unfortunately, there was no time to leisurely think about these things.
Morning gathering, the first daily routine of the knights.
Agnes delivered unexpected news to the knights gathered at the parade ground.

“It is said that last night, the two sisters guarding the castle gate were kidnapped by goblins. The sentry on the castle wall witnessed the scene.”

The loud voices of the knights became quiet as the leader continued.

“The security team has been looking for them since the accident, but the forest at night is dark and the area is so large that they have not been found yet. As this is the first case of damage caused by goblins, we have decided to start a search and subjugation.”

In fact, from what I saw on the app, the goblins here do not violate humans or elves for breeding purposes like in creative works such as novels.

I didn’t see a detailed explanation, but it seems like it was naturally generated by some force in the world where they originally lived.

That didn’t mean there was no need to worry about the captured elves.
The purpose of goblins capturing other creatures is to supply food.
In other words, to eat and fill one’s stomach.

Even if it wasn’t for that reason, they were a tribe that enjoyed killing creatures weaker than themselves, so if they were caught, they couldn’t avoid a bad situation.

‘It seems like the castle gate guard was caught off guard by a goblin, not just an elf.’

“By the way, Fine decided to rest at her mother’s house for a while. She said she injured her leg while exercising too hard alone in the early morning.”

I guess I got injured because I was overly motivated and overexerted my small body.

He’s always full of energy, so he’ll get better soon.
I don’t think you need to worry too much.

Following Agnes, who delivered all the other messages, the knights entered the forest where the guards were said to have been kidnapped.

The guards and knights from other territories searched and entered from the outskirts of the forest, while our royal knights spread out and searched from the center of the forest.

Of course, the elves of the knights were, and I was not happy to see an innocent elf die, so while I was looking for it, I heard a knight’s cry.

“Captain! There’s a sound from here!”

The place she pointed to was the entrance to a large cave.
What greeted us as we hurried inside were not goblins, but missing elf guards.

“Hey, are you okay!”

The guards had their hands and feet tied and were silenced.
In addition to them, several elves who seemed to have been captured from other territories had collapsed in the large cave.

“Kek! Kek! Thank you, Agnes…”

“No. Are you hurt? Oh my, the back of your head is bleeding…! I’ll put some herbs on you right away, so just be patient.”

Once the situation was roughly under control, Agnes asked one of the guards.

“Tell me everything that happened.”

The explanation I heard from the guard was as follows.
He lost consciousness due to a sudden attack, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a cave.
Afterwards, the goblins brought several elves here, but they left without doing anything.

“Is that all?”

“Yes… The last time I moved the sisters here, they never came to visit.”

“I see. I’m really glad you’re safe.”

Unlike Agnes and the other elves who felt relieved, I felt strange.

As mentioned before, goblins capture targets to eat.
Also, because they are faithful to their instincts, they only go hunting when they are hungry and do not specifically store food.

‘But why did you disappear and leave the elves behind?’

There are too many cases where I have benefited from apps to say that the information I knew was wrong.

‘I’ve never come close to the kingdom, so it’s strange that they suddenly kidnapped me.’

When I couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort, Agnes stood up and spoke.

“First, we will lead them to the kingdom. After that, we will leave the search for the sisters who may be captured to the guards, and we will set out to exterminate the remaining goblins.”

“Yes!”
“Yes!”

“Are there any clues to the goblin’s location?”

The guard who was pondering Agnes’ question spoke as if he remembered something.

“Ah, now that I think about it, one of the goblin’s body decorations had bright yellow leaves! They were clearly the leaves of a tree that only grows in the sunset forest.”

“You mean the sunset forest?”

The sunset forest is a place where you have to go a long way to get to the forest you are currently in.
As the name suggests, it was a magical place where the leaves of all the trees were golden.

“We didn’t search that place because there was no sign of anything. It’s possible that they intentionally stayed quiet in their home base.”

After safely rescuing the captured elves, we headed straight to the sunset forest.

Although there was a distance, there was still a lot of time left before the sun set, so I planned to uproot them at once if possible.

And just as our efforts to find them seemed futile, we quickly encountered our target there.

“Captain! That guy is the leader!”

The eyes of the knights all turned towards the direction I pointed.

Slightly larger than the ordinary goblins around him.
A colorful decoration on his head and a magic wand in his hand.
The leader of these ugly and troublesome guys was the wizard goblin.

“Keeek! Kiek!”

Did he sense that the elves were alive?
The wizard goblin raised his staff while making a strange sound.

He then turned around, and the henchmen turned around and started running after him, like a thief caught by the police.

“Don’t miss it!”

The reason the goblins ran away was simple.
They know that there is no chance of winning in an all-out war, so they resort to cunning.

They may be hoping that we will fall into a trap they had set in advance while chasing them, but the Knights have already learned about them.

Calmly avoiding the traps, I cut off the goblins one by one with my sword or bow.

“Keeek! Keek!”

Every time the elven knights moved forward, goblin screams and severed heads were scattered in the air.

The path we passed was filled with dirty green blood and corpses, and as time went by, the number of those ahead decreased.

“Keeeeek…!”

“Is this the last henchman? Where did the leader go?”

“It’s a cave!”

“A cave that big might be hiding something. Enter carefully!”

“Yes!”

The elves rushed into the cave with a shout that was close to cheering.

The interior was certainly large enough to fit an entire 20 or more knights, but there was no particularly noticeable threat.

“Keeek! Keek! Keek!”

The lone wizard goblin still seemed to have no intention of fighting back.

Looking at her, she backed away, but when she was blocked by the wall and could not go any further, her face became completely frightened.

“Disgusting bastard. Don’t make her regret ever setting foot in Elora.”

It was the moment Agnes said that and gripped her sword tightly.

The goblin raised her staff with a roar, and light emanated from her bastard hand.

But.

“No way!”

Agnes throws the sword in her hand straight ahead.
Her blue mana covered the spinning sword flying in the air, and soon it took the form of a blue disk and rushed out.

The blade flew at a speed that was difficult for her eyes to track, and instantly decapitated the wizard goblin.

“Okay, are you done?”

“No, don’t let your guard down yet.”

One elf muttered, but Agnes did not let go of her tension.
Because light was still emanating from the hands of the dead man.

Before I could figure out what it was, the light became stronger and filled the cave.

“Ugh!”

The light was so strong that I closed my eyes without realizing it.
After a while, the light cleared, and the elves who opened their closed eyes, like me, all looked confused.

“What just happened?”
“Nothing’s wrong?”
“I guess it wasn’t a big deal.”

“It looks like it’s over for now. Everyone is heading back! Be careful as there may be remaining goblins or traps on your way back!”

The relaxed elves chatter as the leader announces that the mission is over.

Right then.

“All right, Captain! Something is strange!”

“What’s going on?”

“Huh? What happened?”
“What’s wrong with this? Is it a wall?”
“I can’t get out!”

Suddenly the elves were in confusion.

Feeling strange, I tried to move forward, but was blocked by something like an invisible wall.

‘What is this?’

I turned back and looked at the situation.

Apparently, this transparent wall seemed to surround the center of the cave, excluding the edges, like a dome.

Even when the elves tried to destroy it with magic-laden weapons, it didn’t flinch, and even Agnes could do nothing about it.

“What the heck is this… Is this the light that came out of the goblin’s hand?”

I think so too, but there was no information in the app about using this type of magic.

I thought I needed to look again, so I took advantage of the elves’ distraction to hide behind a large rock and take out my phone.

‘What, there was a message?’

I was so busy chasing the goblin that I didn’t even notice.

[Dake and the Wings of Dawn are trapped in a space separated from the world by a ring of eternal isolation used by the wizard goblin.]

‘… A ring of eternal isolation?’

I immediately started searching for the encyclopedia.
It is a ring engraved with magic that separates a specific space from the world forever.

It was written that if you were trapped inside, you would be blocked by a transparent wall and could not get out, and if you were outside, you would not even be able to perceive the isolated space.

‘What kind of magic is this…’

I thought it was easy after just reading the description of the wizard goblin, but I had no idea that he had such a secret weapon.

Fortunately, the method of destruction was not only written in the app, but it was also a method that I could easily execute.

‘I took ten years. Let’s get out now.’

That was when I got up from behind the rock to report the information I had obtained to Agnes.

Seeing the elves in chaos due to an unexpected crisis, I suddenly remembered the worries I had in the morning.

Although the process of taming Agnes was going smoothly, the concern was that something stronger was needed.
In addition, it occurred to me that this moment was a golden opportunity to implement something stronger.

‘… Yes, I think it’s quite possible.’

I hate to say this, but my mind seems to work better when thinking about how to fuck Agnes than usual.

After quickly finishing the calculation, I approached Agnes and shouted loudly on purpose.

“Captain! I found a way to get out of here!”

“Is that really true?”

All the elves who heard my voice, including Agnes, flocked to me.

Have these women ever shown this much interest in me, including in my past life?

I put aside my useless thoughts and nodded to the leader.

“Yes. Luckily, it’s the same as the magic I knew.”

“You know so much that it’s amazing. So how can I get out?”

“It’s a method that only I can do, but it’s simple and we can leave right away. But there’s something I’d like to ask of the leader instead.”

“What do you mean by favor?”

Agnes asked a question that had no idea what would come out of my mouth.

At my next words, not only her expression but also the expressions of the elves here froze.

“Please fuck me here.”
