Chapter 27: Goblin Slayer (2)

The person who came was quite tall, probably half a head taller than Nobita. He wears a helmet like a medieval knight on his head, and the leather armor covering his entire body is dirty, and is complemented by an iron armor on his shoulders, neck, and calves. Under the leather armor, a layer of chain mail can be vaguely seen, which seems to be used to protect against hidden weapons such as flying stones. In addition to this, four small leather bags can be seen hanging from his belt, which also appear to contain some hard objects.

He holds a torch in his left hand, a small round shield in his right hand, and a sword that looks a little short at his waist...... Anyway, Nobita also once wore the armor of a medieval warrior to save the world (see the theatrical version of "Nobita's Dream Three Swordsmen"), and has his own set of aesthetics for this kind of clothing. In his opinion, the equipment of the visitor was not very glamorous, but rather very cheap, and it felt like it had been put together after a patchwork...... Only a small silver square card hanging around his neck is still valuable.

"I guess this is the protagonist, right?" Nobita thought to himself, "This is a bit unpleasant...... Yan! ”

"What do you command, master?"

"What I'm wearing now...... It doesn't look like a person from this world at all, does it? ”

"......" Yu Feiyan turned around and scanned the little priest's mental world in a short period of time, picking out the clothing habits of people from other worlds and comparing them, and finally came to the conclusion, "Master, your clothes are more consistent with some of the new nobles on the Southeast Continent. ”

"Please help me change into clothes that match the image of the Dark Mage."

"Yes, master."

……

A layer of pitch-black robes with a hood suddenly appeared on Nobita's body, resting on his shoulders like Doctor Strange's robes. The robe fluttered away against the wind, like a dark cloud that fluctuated and fluctuated. The back of the robe is painted with scarlet strokes of an inverted pentagram, enclosed in a closed circle, symbolizing the soul of humanity that has fallen to hell.

In any world, this pattern is extremely ominous.

Nobita is not afraid to recruit bad luck for himself...... He's all fused with Godzilla, what else in this world could make the King of Monsters unlucky?

Thinking of enlivening up the atmosphere, Nobita opened his voice and sang in a rakugo-like tone, "Come~~who~~who~~? (This sentence is more common in rakugo, which is basically equivalent to "wow yayaya" in Peking opera)

……

The man in the armor stopped and raised his head, as if to glance at the little sun floating in the air. It was naturally impossible for medieval people to understand what it was...... So the warrior just looked at it for a moment, then gave up thinking and refocused his gaze on Nobita, looking at him from top to bottom, as if to analyze the danger of the man in front of him: no weapons, no armor, no magician's ring, no religious staff...... So, theoretically, the danger should be zero?

But why do you feel so depressed?

“…… Goblin Slayer. The warrior said this, and Nobita couldn't see his face because his helmet covered his entire face.

"Goblin killers?" Nobita smiled meaninglessly, "I'm a human magician...... The black mage, let's be considered to have a bit of a reputation in the circle. I came here today for a geological expedition, and I didn't expect to meet a goblin ......"

He turned to look back at the short-haired girl who had fallen to the ground—after another two minutes, she seemed to be worse off than before, coughing up blood without stopping.

"You say you're a Goblin Slayer, that is...... You must know a thing or two about goblins, right? The little priest asked in an almost pleading tone, "Do you have a way to save him?" My companion was stabbed by a goblin just now, and it was bleeding all the time, so I've already used the 'Little Healing' ......."

"You're a priest?" The warrior interrupted the little priest's stammering narration in an icy tone, and he crouched down to take a brief look at the girl's injuries and the horrible black blood stains on her abdomen, "...... I see, you used a healing spell on her. ”

"That's it, but ......"

"Give it up." He shook his head like a seasoned doctor and pronounced her death sentence, "She's hopeless." Goblins will smear their daggers with dung and poisonous weeds, and while the ingredients may look messy, they can be deadly...... You're in luck. ”

His last sentence meant something else.

The little priest couldn't help but think that if he was slashed by that dirty dagger and let the toxin spread into his body, maybe it would be like this......

"How can this be......" She covered her face in despair and began to sobble softly - this was the first time she had ventured out of the Temple of Mother Earth, thinking that she could use miracles to help others, but in the end, none of her companions survived.

“…… Please...... Please kill me......" The girl lying on the ground seemed to have ushered in the stage of rejuvenation, her pupils reunited a little, and she said angrily, "Kill ...... I ......"

"Okay."

The Goblin Slayer agreed, and without hesitation, he pulled out the short sword at his waist, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed the girl in the throat! This series of movements was so fast that the little priest on the side didn't have time to react, and the sword light had already turned into a sharp shadow and stabbed desperately at the girl's throat. From such actions, it is enough to see how calm and decisive he is.

“……”

At the last moment, the blade was suddenly stopped by some invisible force, and it hung over the girl's delicate throat. The Goblin Slayer was incredulous, and he continued to increase the strength of his wrist, but he was never able to push the blade down, as if his entire wrist was bound by some invisible rope, and it was difficult to even exert force.

The little priest stared at what was happening in front of her, her eyes widened in horror, and she did not dare to speak—she never imagined that she would be so close to the scene of the murder.

“…… Why stop me. Even so, the Goblin Slayer's tone was flat, and he didn't seem to be angry because of this, but just asked as he normally would, "She's hopeless." If you continue to carry it, it will become a burden. ”

"Not necessarily." Nobita smiled kindly, "Generally speaking, it's indeed dead...... But what if you use black magic? Please at least let me try. ”

"That's a waste of time."

"How can saving lives be a waste of time......" Nobita faintly felt that the three views of the guy in front of him would have a big conflict with him, but for some reason, he didn't hate him, "If Goblin Killer San (Japanese word, meaning roughly equivalent to sir, used to refer to men) finds it inconvenient, please just feel free, anyway, just listen to your name and know that you are here to hunt goblins." After speaking, he also pointed to the depths of the cave by the way, and said maliciously, "By the way, two goblins ran out of there just now, and I scared them back, and their lair should be in the depths of the cave." ”

As he spoke, Nobita had already squatted down and began to examine the girl's abdomen.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with him at all...... He just pretended to be watching very seriously, and then left everything to Yu Feiyan to operate—anyway, for a cosmic-level super AI, scanning the body structure of a mere human being is as easy as probing for something.

"The previous liver failure has become more severe...... If no effective treatment is provided, the human will die within two minutes and four seconds due to insufficient blood supply due to organ failure. ”

"Can it be saved?" Nobita asked in his heart while closing his eyes and pretending to be a magic stick.

"Of course, master." Yu Feiyan's undulating voice made Nobita feel inexplicably reassured, "If you allow it, I'll give her a minimally invasive surgery right now." ”

————

"Ah, Goblin Slayer San, you're still here." Nobita turned around with a smile and asked, "Why don't you set off to hunt goblins?" ”

The ...... Goblin Slayer didn't move, but tilted his head and seemed to stare at the small artificial sun shining on the roof of the cavern, thinking about something. After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, he began to try to communicate with Nobita in a slightly softened tone. (This is not easy for him, who has always been a hardcore)

"This ...... Something, is it yours? Goblin Killer pointed to the artificial sun floating in the air, and even though he tried his best to hide it, the sentences he said were very short, Nobita could still hear the curiosity in the depths of his tone, "I've never seen such a powerful magic prop." ”

"So ~~ I'm a black magician, Goblin Slayer San, were you listening when you introduced yourself?" Nobita doesn't care if there is "black magic" in this world, anyway, let's treat it as a panacea for the time being, and any setting can be stuffed into it, "What other magicians can't do, including rescuing this woman who was stabbed by goblin toxin...... I might be able to do it, so be sure to keep that in mind. ”

"I'll remember." He replied briefly, then hesitated for a moment, as if to organize the language...... It can be seen that this guy usually has no intersection with others, so even normal communication seems very difficult.

“…… I can pay for it, so please lend me this item. He gestured to the small sun hanging in the air with great seriousness, "As you can see, when exploring environments like crypts, darkness can be an obstacle, and this item is perfect for me." You rent it to me, and I pay you three gold coins after each adventure. ”

Listening to him stumble through this passage, Nobita, who was squatting on the ground, almost didn't laugh.

I can't help it, it's so interesting to listen to him talk about the topic of rental......

……

Seeing that Nobita didn't answer, the Goblin Killer was slightly stunned, thinking that the price he offered was too low, and the other party couldn't look at it. But if you think about it, it's ...... Such an exquisite magic item has never been seen on the market, and the lighting effect is extremely strong, presumably the crystallization of this magician's unique knowledge, and the asking price is not too high.

"Then ...... Five gold coins, is that okay? Seeing that Nobita still refused to speak, the Goblin Slayer had no choice but to admit, "I can't increase the price anymore...... There's not much to be paid for hunting goblins, and I need to stock up on the equipment I need for my next mission......"

"Hahahaha......" Nobita was really amused by him, waved his hand, and said casually, "There's no need for this, Goblin Slayer San, you don't have to pay a penny, I'm willing to lend you this prop for free." It's just that...... You have to promise me one thing. ”

"Since then...... I'll be in the area for a long time, and I might come to you on a whim. If I do come...... I hope you don't refuse, take me with you. I think my strength is okay, so I won't hold you back. ”

While talking and laughing, Yu Feiyan had completed a high-precision minimally invasive surgery with nano-level energy cutting, and the short-haired girl who was dying two seconds ago finally survived.
