Chapter 50, pretending to be a goblin

Bajas Empire, Imperial Capital of Oventhal, Imperial Academy of Magic

The Empire's Chief Court Mage, Fruda. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Paladin Grand Sage, is standing in his office window, overlooking the campus routine below.

- As the most powerful magician among the world's indigenous humans, the chief court magician of the Bajas Empire, Fruda? Paladin was not only a wise polymath and a powerful strategic humanoid weapon, but also a great educator. It was he who single-handedly founded the Imperial Academy of Magic, the largest formal educational institution in the world's human society, and compiled the earliest systematic teaching materials, which laid an important foundation for talent and force for the gradual prosperity of the Bajas Empire: because of the existence of magic, this is a world where knowledge can be directly transformed into force!

The school spirit here at the Imperial Academy of Magic has always been very strict, and all students who can enter this highest institution of the empire are usually quite diligent and hardworking. Even those who are enrolled in school by their background are told by the elders of the family, at most, they skip school to spend all day drinking outside the school, bullying men and women, but they never dare to do anything in the interior of the Imperial Academy of Magic, or under the noses of the emperor and the great sage - that is not only to seek their own death, but at least to ruin their future, and if they don't get it right, they will also harm their families!

However, in recent months, the school, which was originally very serious, seems to have become a little too noisy......

Following the beautiful singing from the wind, the great sage of Fruda, who was standing at the window, looked down and fixed his eyes, and sure enough, he found a group of petite figures:

Next to the school's fountain pool, a dozen leprechauns are flying among the branches and flowers, singing beautiful songs.

Dozens of childish students gathered below and looked up to watch the goblin's open-air concert, their eyes lit up, and they listened fascinated. Although no one could understand what they were singing, the sweet, crisp, melodious and wonderful tones, as well as the petite and cute appearance and light and sensitive dancing posture were enough to make these people who lack entertainment in their daily lives fall in love with it.

In fact, since these cute little goblins from nowhere appeared in large numbers across the empire in the spring and summer of this year, they have recently become the new fashion favorites of the imperial capital. Compared to traditional pets such as cats and dogs, this little thing flying around is not only cute and like a living doll, but also has a sweet and evocative song. In addition, unlike most vigilant wild animals, these goblins seem to be completely unafraid of people, and do not see the slightest wariness of strangers, often inexplicably surrounding someone, looking at him curiously.

So, after confirming the harmlessness of these cute little creatures, the people living in the imperial capital generally welcomed their visit with great pleasure. Just like fireflies in the middle of summer, whether it is the palace residence, the aristocratic garden, the humble alley dwelling, or the noisy market, you can see these cute little goblins dancing, humming and singing, and often chasing a group of naughty children who are shouting and sparkling in their eyes.

But then, after spending a little longer together, people laughed and found out the headache of these little goblins: they seemed to have endless curiosity, and they were extremely lacking in social common sense, and they did not know how to fear the big people, and were always keen on all kinds of hilarious pranks. For example, when the Great Sage of Fruda was walking, he was attacked by the goblins more than once, and several white beards were plucked away. And in the palace, it is not uncommon to see groups of goblins dancing on the crown of His Majesty Gilkenifer.

The most amazing thing is that once when the emperor was enjoying the singing and dancing of the little goblins in the imperial garden of the palace, these bold little guys suddenly cast a spell and turned His Majesty's imperial robe into a fully transparent material, causing His Majesty to run naked ♂ in front of the guards and the imperial concubine...... It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the clothes were restored to their original state.

Thankfully, the goblin's spells, while magical and distressing, are mostly innocuous jokes that don't really hurt people, so instead of disgusting people, they make people feel more excited. On the other hand, as time goes by, people are pleasantly surprised to find that these cute little things can not only bring a lot of fun to the boring daily life, but also have great benefits for the growth of plants! Wherever there is a garden frequented by goblins, the flowers will bloom very delicately; Orchards and vegetable patches infested with goblins will produce at least a few percent more fruits and vegetables, and they will taste even more delicious. The most significant change was in the Imperial Academy of Magic in the capital, a wasteland that was once used as a test range for attack magic, originally there were only a few half-dead small trees, but with a group of goblins making their home there, it turned into a vibrant grove in just two months, to the amazement of all the teachers and students.

So, just a few months after the goblins first appeared, these cute little beings have become the most welcome guests, and wherever they fly, there are kind people who happily serve all kinds of treasured sweets - cream, pastries, honey, frosting, sugar cubes, preserved fruits, fruits...... Come and treat these little ones who love sweetness and hope that they will bring more good luck to themselves. (According to the game's premise, leprechauns are expected to be addicted to desserts, so high-sugar foods will add several times more stamina to leprechaun players than if they consumed the same amount of normal food.) ）

Of course, there are inevitably those profiteers who try to organize people to capture these precious goblins in large quantities, and then hoard them and sell them at a high price, but unless he is willing to provide good food and drink to the captured goblins with smiling faces, these naughty little ones will either quickly escape from prison with their magical spells, or blow themselves up in anger, so that the "bad guys" who capture and imprison them will eventually get nothing......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In fact, even the Great Sage of Fruda, who was often attacked and plucked by goblins for some reason, fell under the onslaught of these goblins. I saw him standing at the window, quietly listening to the song of the goblin for a while, then turned around and opened a jar of the finest honey from the emperor, rested it in front of the windowsill of the office, and beckoned to the goblin flying not far away, and issued a silent invitation.

After a while, these cute little ones gathered on the windowsill of the office of the Great Sage of Fruda, and while humming softly songs without intonation in their sharp and clear voices, they floated in front of the Great Sage of Fruda, scrambling to taste the fragrant honey.

With a kind smile, the great sage of Fruda carefully looked at the little goblins in front of him, in his eyes, these little goblins looked like teenage girls, but their bodies were only the size of their palms, and they were all wearing clothes similar to low-cut long skirts, but they were much more compact and close-fitting, and the skirt was also short enough to cover only the buttocks, revealing their small white and tender limbs.

And behind each goblin, a pair of translucent wings with beautiful patterns like butterflies are constantly fanning, and you can even see a little bit of subtle light and dust shining with faint brilliance flying down, making the little goblin's whole body exude a hazy brilliance.

――The fine dust that falls from the elf's wings is "fairy dust", a very useful magical material. As soon as this East and West came out, it became a treasure that made alchemists crazy. According to the research of several alchemists of the Imperial Academy of Magic, whether it is in making potions or quenching minerals, Fairy Dust has amazing effects, and it can even be used directly as a high-level healing potion!

At present, the price of a pound of fairy dust on the black market in the imperial capital has been speculated to thousands of gold coins, but it is still often priceless. In order to avoid the tragedy of fishing in the dry waters, and to prevent people from indiscriminately hunting and killing the goblins under the indiscriminate indiscriminate killing of them, causing them to quickly become extinct or flee elsewhere, the Grand Sages of Fruda and the Magus of the Academy have been pushing the Imperial Court to enact a protection law in an attempt to ban the illegal trade in the fairy dust......

However, even without considering the expensive value of fairy dust, just looking at the beauty of these little goblins is enough to make anyone's heart flutter - those long blonde or silver hair, shining with a dreamy sheen. There are also eyes that are as beautiful as jewels, which are more eye-catching than hair color. Coupled with the skin that is warmer than the top ivory and white porcelain, it can be called a perfect delicate facial features, and a pure and flawless clear breath...... Even the elven clan, which has been rich in beauties since ancient times, or the bloodline of the dragon king, who is known as the most noble and excellent bloodline on the mainland, may not be able to reach this level, right?

Even if it's inside. The beautiful princess of the kingdom of Yestij, known as the "Golden Princess", may be so jealous that she will go crazy with jealousy when she sees them...... Well, of course, it is also possible to raise them happily, after all, the size difference is too big to be considered a competitor of the same type at all. Even if a girl is careful, she shouldn't be jealous that a certain doll is more beautiful than herself!

It stands to reason that as an elder who has lived for two hundred years, experienced countless ups and downs, and is the strongest magician known to all mankind who is obsessed with the way of magic, the great sage of Fruda should not be stunned at this time, but he did have a moment of trance and imagination because he saw the pure beauty of these little goblins...... But after a moment, he calmed down, turned around and opened a booklet, and wrote his "Goblin Observation Log":

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… As far as the current observation summary is concerned, the goblin that just appeared in this world this year should be an omnivorous flying intelligence monster, about the same size as a pigeon, with dragonfly-like translucent wings. They are fond of high-sugar desserts, but they are not averse to meat and fish. They have an indescribable affinity for plants, which can produce high yields on arable land and pastures, and are beneficial organisms for humans.

Like intelligent monsters such as goblins, goblins use their own unique spells, some of which have effects that are paradoxical to human magic. Moreover, whether it is a human or a goblin group, the members who can become magic chanters are very rare according to the proportion of the population. But the goblins are a peculiar race of magic chanters. However, the elves are generally as small as their size, and can only perform harmless pranks, and so far they have not been found to be able to use powerful attack magic, so they cannot be expected to be directly effective in war. However, he has a certain talent in treatment, and there have been reports of injured and sick people being treated by goblins.

Next, leprechauns are very curious creatures and have a high learning efficiency, which is very contradictory to their usual behavior. From what I've observed, they are distinctly able to understand human language, understand the meaning of most gestures, and exhibit complex expressions such as anger or joy. But strangely, he can't learn human language, and can only make strange tones as beautiful as a song. To this day, they are still unable to communicate with us in human language. In light of this, I suspect that leprechauns have some problems with their vocal organs, but there is no direct evidence. If you want to know, you can't do it unless you collect a large number of goblins, vivisect and compare them, and carry out all sorts of destructive studies (this section is full of smeared stains)......"

Damn it! I must be crazy! Such a thought would arise!

The old magician dropped his pen suddenly, reached out and scratched his hair, and sighed to himself.

As a magician whose pursuit of noble knowledge is the highest goal in life, what will he do with this magical creature when he discovers a magical creature that he has never heard of before, and this magical creature can use magic that he has never seen before?

Do you immediately catch and slaughter them, skin them and make them into specimens and study them thoroughly?

Or do you slowly observe and raise for a period of time, and then peel the skin and remove the bones to study it carefully after collecting enough information?

As a true magician, Fruda and his students had done all of the cruel things he had done.

Rabbits, mice, cats, dogs, cows and sheep and other experimental animals aside, even humans, elves, orcs, and other intelligent monsters are often used by him to conduct all kinds of crazy magical research, and the number of them is so large that even the old magician is too lazy to remember.

In the Bajas Empire's Academy of Magic, all kinds of research that goes against human ethics have in fact always been tacitly tolerated.

But at this moment, Fruda was very surprised to find that he had relented.

Is it because the little things in front of you are too beautiful and innocent, so you don't want to destroy them?

Alas, he has already dirty his hands, but he will still be inexplicably kind, and it seems that he is also a hypocritical and hypocritical guy.

The Great Sage of Fruda smiled bitterly, closed the observation log, and then picked up a summary of the recent political and military situation handed over by the emperor, read it quickly, and soon couldn't help frowning, and the original relaxed mood in his heart immediately disappeared.

- Although the Bahas Empire has been immersed in a wonderful atmosphere of peace and prosperity for most of the past six months, it has encountered such interesting new things as goblins that have never been seen before. But from the perspective of the world as a whole, humanity is still in danger of destruction and death.

The Dragon Kingdom in the southeast of the Bahas Empire, a small eastern fortress of the human world, is facing an unprecedented fierce attack by the orc legions in the middle of the continent. The country's military has suffered repeated defeats, with thousands of human civilians reduced to meat in the mouths of brutal orcs. Even with massive reinforcements from its allies, the Slian Cult, the Dragon Kingdom's battle lines are still shaky, and they may be in danger of losing their country.

Although the war has not yet reached the borders of the Bajas Empire, it is not far away. Once the Dragon Kingdom, which served as a barrier to the east, is destroyed, it is difficult to say whether the orcs will continue to advance westward and invade the Slenians, who have held the banner of "human supremacy" for many years, or turn north and attack the southeastern territory of the Bajas Empire. The Empire must take precautions sooner.

And the old rival of the Bajas Empire to the west, Li. The kingdom of Yestijah has experienced a catastrophe for more than half a year under the ravages of the army of undead creatures. This originated in the border city of the empire and the kingdom, the fortress city of Je. The scourge of the undead in Lantil has now ravaged the country. About one-third of the kingdom of Jestijah caused an immeasurable catastrophe. And the main messenger behind it is still hidden in the shadows.

According to some information obtained by the Imperial Intelligence Service through secret channels, the fortress city of Ye. The murderer of the undead natural disaster of Lantil seems to be the old evil organization "Zhiranong" on the mainland, but after the rise of the army of undead creatures, "Zhiranong" has completely lost control of the situation over there. The commander who led this army of the undead has also become a monster and a demon...... Although the government and the opposition of the Bahasian Empire are happy to see the old adversary. The unfortunate appearance of the kingdom of Yestij, but he couldn't help but be secretly frightened by the destructive power of these undead, and quietly raised his vigilance.

Fortunately, so far, this undead catastrophe of unprecedented scale has not affected the territory of the empire at all.

This is not mainly because the empire has built its borders into impregnable walls, but because there is a powerful magic chanter of mysterious origin. After the outbreak of the Necrocabola in Rantir, some of the surviving refugees were housed. Then, on the edge of the Kaz Plains and the Great Forest, he established a small independent force of his own, and succeeded in keeping the army of the undead out. And his sphere of influence is precisely stuck in the middle of the imperial border and the undead forces, invisibly blocking the spearhead of the undead legion reaching out to the empire's territory......

“…… With just the strength of himself and a few followers, plus a handful of low-level adventurers at most, he was able to contain the undead army that was ravaging half the kingdom? It's not easy! It seems that this mysterious magician named Anz should also be a peerless powerhouse no less than the legendary heroes of ancient times! Well, it seems necessary to test his attitude towards the Empire, and the real strength he has......"

Grand Sage Fruda muttered like this, and carefully looked at the description of the Anz mage by the Imperial Intelligence Service, only to find that there were only some hearsay collected from the merchant's mouth, and it was extremely brief and vague, and he couldn't help but frown deeply.

Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, he rang the bell in his hand and summoned one of his henchmen, "...... You go and contact the Adventurer's Guild in the Imperial Capital...... No, wait, this time things seem to be out of the business of the Adventurers' Guild! You better find a way to find a way as soon as possible and contact the 'black workers' in the imperial capital! Let's see if anyone is willing to make a cameo appearance as a makeshift spy......"
