14. Difficult goblins
Goblin Slayer, it's a very fucked up world.
Because this worldview is very unpleasant.
Once upon a time, the gods of light, order, and fate, or the gods of darkness, chaos, and chance, decided not to fight each other, but to decide with dice.
Again and again, the gods rolled the dice into the dark.
However, there are always winners and losers, no matter how long the competition takes, there is no difference between victory and defeat.
Soon, the gods got tired of rolling the dice. So they created all sorts of living creatures and the worlds they inhabited as pawns and chessboards.
Mortals, forest people, miners, nursery people, lizardmen, goblins, trolls, demons.
They go on adventures, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, sometimes finding treasures, sometimes finding happiness, and dying one by one.
The gods watched these processes and followed them with joy, sorrow, laughter, and weeping.
Once upon a time, the gods began to look forward to the activity of the chess pieces, and sincerely loved the world and them. Although sometimes it is possible to fail because the numbers rolled by the dice are too bad, this is another matter.
Just from the worldview of this world, it can be seen that this is a world without freedom.
Whether it is humans, forest people, miners, monsters, or demons, there is no freedom to speak of.
They will always be pawns in the hands of the gods.
The gods manipulated them and made this group of forests reincarnate again and again, and you say that the world is not fucked up.
Don't talk about the rest, just talk about the Demon God King.
This thing is the leader of the demons who pose a great threat to the world.
Even if it is eliminated again and again, it will still appear in this world, and it will never be completely destroyed, because this is a matter for the gods to decide.
The gods decide the birth of the Demon God King by rolling the dice.
Even the brave, the swordmaster, and the sage were born by rolling the dice.
In addition to the unpleasant gods, there is another thing in this world that is worth complaining about.
That's what humans are called.
For example, the main character's nickname in the plot is Goblin Slayer, so others call him the same, and the real name of Goblin Slayer does not appear once.
In addition to the male protagonist Goblin Slayer, the same goes for everyone else.
Miss Counter is Miss Counter, Goddess Officer is Goddess Officer, Goblin Slayer's childhood friend is called Cowherd Girl, and his companions are Fairy Archer, Mine Priest, and Lizard Monk.
As for their real names, readers don't know them at all.
This is very similar to the world of the Demon King Brave.
In the world of the Demon King and the Brave, the Demon King is called the Demon King, the brave is called the Brave, and the friends of the Brave are called female knights, female magicians, and so on.
Wei Gong didn't know how to complain.
At first, Emiya thought that the two works were by the same author, but later I learned that they were not at all.
After Wei Gong understood the world he was in, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the goddess official of the Earth Mother Sect just now.
If he remembered correctly, the goddess of the Earth Mother Cult should be the Goblin Slayer's first companion.
It's the heroine of the plot.
And the conversation she had with the counter lady just now seems to be the plot at the beginning of the plot.
Next, the Goddess will encounter a new squad of adventurers, and then follow them in the crusade against the goblins, only to be wiped out in the process.
In the end, only the goddess survived.
And the reason why this goddess officer survived was not because she was strong, but because she met the Goblin Slayer.
Sure enough, when registering as an adventurer in the Guardian Palace, the goddess officer really met a team.
The leader of this squad is a young swordsman.
There were two other girls behind the swordsman, one was a girl with her hair tied up and wearing a martial arts uniform, looking very competitive; The other was a girl with glasses holding a cane and looking at her with a cold gaze.
If nothing else, one of these two is a martial artist and the other is a magician.
Emiya remembers that after the team encountered a goblin, the swordsman and mage died.
The young lady of the martial artist was ravaged by the goblins, lost all faith, and could only return to her hometown from a fledgling adventurer and give up her plan to become an adventurer.
After all, this world is not ordinary cruel.
After a while, Wei Gong and his party completed the registration and became a white porcelain-level adventurer.
And this team that only absorbed the goddess officer, with the task of hunting goblins, came to the counter lady to register.
When the counter lady saw this scene, she couldn't help frowning, "Excuse me...... A few of them are going to go with just four people, right? ”
After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, the counter lady couldn't help but say, "I think, wait a little longer, there should be other adventurers coming......
However, the young swordsman didn't take the counter lady's worries to heart at all, "Isn't it enough to have four people for a monster like Goblin?" ”
In the eyes of many people, goblins are weak chickens.
Fledgling adventurers basically start out by dealing with adventurers.
In the vast majority of worlds, goblins are indeed weak, but in this world, goblins are unexpectedly difficult.
In addition to regular goblins, there are goblins, goblin shamans, goblin horsemen, goblin heroes, goblin kings, goblin paladins, and many more.
Yes, you read that right.
There are also paladins among the goblins, and when Emiya first found out about this, he couldn't help but sigh.
This Goblin Paladin is extremely intelligent and can use armor, cloaks, and other protective gear. He learned swordsmanship in battles with adventurers, and has swordsmanship and shield skills that are no less than those of human knights.
In the original plot, using the Snow Mountain Fortress as a lair and leading a large number of goblins, he is a rather difficult guy.
Goblin heroes, on the other hand, are mid-level goblin individuals, and those who survive long enough will grow, becoming larger, stronger, and more dangerous than goblins, but not much more intelligent.
However, due to his experience in a hundred battles, his strength is higher than that of silver-level adventurers.
That's already remarkable.
You must know that among the ten levels of adventurers, the highest level is platinum, followed by gold, silver and bronze.
In other words, Goblin Heroes are monsters that are second only to Platinum and Gold and more powerful than Silver Adventurers.
This monstrous adventurer is no match at all.
This shows how difficult goblins can be.
This is also the reason why Miss Counter would persuade the young swordsman, because in her opinion, these fledgling white porcelain adventurers, if they encounter a group of goblins, will really ......
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll go with it." ”
The young swordsman couldn't help but glance back at Wei Gong and refused without hesitation, "The four of us are enough. ”
