Artoria Custer.

When the name came out of the girl's mouth and into Riege's ears, Rig had only one thought in his heart.

"Sure enough, it's her."

How could Rig not know her?

You know, in this world, she is equivalent to a heroine.

"I didn't expect that when I first came to this world, I actually met one of the most important people in this world."

Li Ge stared at the silly smile in front of him, who looked like a girl from a country village, and felt dramatic about the beginning of his dimensional shuttle.

Of course, this idea was not uttered by Rige.

"I'm Rigg Briehout, just call me Rige."

Rieg just introduced himself like this, with a calm expression.

"Then you can call me Artoria too." Artoria was as good as a stream, and the smile on her face was still loose, but she asked with some confusion, "Which clan are you a goblin?" Why have I never seen you?"

The goblin in Artoria's mouth refers to a special kind of life in this world.

They are a different kind of life form from humans, and they are even quite different from the subhuman races in the Earth Error World and the Undead King World.

In all sorts of myths and legends, they all make appearances.

For example, in Western myths and legends, they sometimes appear as fairies with wings, sometimes as small figures the size of palms, sometimes as the embodiment of some element, and sometimes as elves, goblins, dwarves, goblins, red hats, and even dragons.

There are often rumors of goblin pranks in Scotland, and the legendary island of Britain has a legend of the "Goblin Kingdom", where it is said that all kinds of goblins live.

And this world, as the intelligence of the dimensional Rubik's Cube match shows, is a goblin realm, a goblin country.

It's a world where goblins are everywhere, and even goblins are the mainstream.

Artoria in front of her is also a fairy, a girl who seems to be a human being, but in fact she is a different kind of life form from humans.

Whether it's the dwarves who just appeared in Tintagel or the pointy-eared elves, they're all goblins.

And in this goblin country, goblins are generally divided into six clans.

There are clans of earth who like to make objects, love the workshop business, and exist in the form of dwarves.

There is a clan of the wind that most closely resembles a human in appearance, with a beautiful face, and can quickly spread the word.

There is a clan of fangs with a simple mind but excellent strength, appearing in the form of an orc.

The goblins are like this, with their own distinct images and their own areas of expertise. And, no matter what kind of goblins they are, most of their power is far superior to that of humans.

Therefore, in the dungeon of Tintager, Riege encountered a few minions like just now, and the other party had extremely strong strength.

Artoria now wonders about Rige's origins, the clan to which Rig belongs.

After all, Rig didn't have the traditional pointed ears of the Wind Clan, nor did he have the distinctive appearance of the Earth Clan and the Tooth Clan, which made Artoria feel strange.

As for the other three clans, Artoria hadn't seen them since she was born, so she didn't know if Rige was from the other three clans other than Wind, Earth, and Fang.

In light of this, Artoria asked. However.....

"I'm not a goblin." Rig shook his head and said, "I'm human." Hearing this, Artoria was stunned.

"Humans?"

The girl's eyes widened again, and she looked at Rig in great surprise, as if she had seen some rare species.

"Hara, so you're human, huh?"

Artoria

I was really surprised.

In this goblin country, humans also exist.

It's just that the status of human beings here is completely incomparable to that of goblins.

Rather, humans are actually the property of goblins, toys and pets they raise.

In this country, not only does human beings not have the concept of reproduction, but even the number of individuals born is strictly controlled, and there are even special pastures for placing human beings.

Artoria was also seeing the "legendary" human for the first time, so she was surprised, very surprised.

What surprised her even more was that the boy in front of her, who claimed to be a human, actually had enough power to surpass ordinary goblins.

Mankind..... Is there such a strong one?

In Artoria's knowledge, humans have always been very weak creatures, how can such a strong human suddenly appear now?

Could it be that the knowledge in your head is false? In fact, human beings are stronger than goblins?

Artoria was confused.

The only thing Artoria can be sure of is one thing. That is, the man in front of him did not lie to himself.

He is telling the truth, and this is what his "eyes" tell him.

Just when Artoria was surprised and confused by Rige's identity, this time, it was Riger's turn to change the subject.

"What are you going to do now?" Rige said, "You've been imprisoned by those goblins in the village, and you're going to be handed over to some execution squad, right?"

"Now that you've escaped, do you plan to go anywhere?" "I'm a good person to the end, I'll give you a ride."

Rige's words made Artoria choke suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Li Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't even know where you plan to go, do you?"

「.... I don't know." Artoria whispered, muttering, "I hadn't thought it was that far, and I had been thinking about how to get out of the dungeon."

As for where she would go after escaping from the dungeon, Artoria really hadn't thought about it. However, she did not feel lost.

I will leave the village, this is something that I have known for a long time. Why don't you just go on the pilgrimage tour as booked? But the Staff of Choice is still in the village!

Artoria felt embarrassed and entangled for a while.

"Okay." Rige understood Artoria's current state and said, "Do you have any temporary places to stay?"

"A temporary place to stay?"

Artoria muttered again, and then, not knowing what came to mind, turned her head and looked in the direction of the coast.

"Where are you going?" Rieg confirmed this.

"Hmm." Artoria nodded and said, "I have a friend who lives there, and that's the only place I can think of to go."

As she said this, Artoria laughed as if distressed.

"But I almost did something to be sorry for him a few days ago, and now I suddenly look for it, will it be too shameless and skinless?"

Clearly, Artoria was still hesitating. For this, Rieger has only one sentence.

"Anyway, you're not welcome with Tintagel now, and if you don't see that friend of yours, you probably won't get a chance to see him again in your life when you actually leave here?"

This sentence deeply touched Artoria. She felt the same way.

I definitely won't be able to come back here in the future, if I don't take advantage of the time to meet "grandpa" now, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to meet again in the future, right?

Thinking of this, the scales in Artoria's heart began to fall. "Are you really going to send me there?"

Artoria turned to Rigg and looked at him with a wink.

Those eyes seem to be able to see through other people's hearts, no

No matter who sees it, they will subconsciously feel uncomfortable.

Rieger looked the same as usual.

"The first person I saw after coming here was you, and this can be regarded as a kind of fate." Li Ge said lightly, "Besides, I was the one who brought you out of the dungeon, and in that case, at least I have to make sure that you won't be caught again."

There is one more sentence that Rieg did not say.

That is, he knows very well how bumpy the fate of the seemingly innocent girl in front of him will be.

Her ending in the original book made many people unable to let go. What happened to her in this world made many people indignant.

Rieger hadn't gotten to that point yet, but since he had met him, he would have helped him a little bit. Not to mention, at the very least, a tragedy that is about to happen in front of you, you can help as much as you can.

」............

Artoria didn't speak, and there was a hint of wonder in Rige's uncomfortable eyes.

After a while, the girl smiled brightly. "Thank you! You're such a good person!"

In this way, in less than an hour after coming to this world, Rig obtained his first Good Guy card.

"Hold on."

The good man in the girl's eyes had a calm expression and stretched out a sinful hand towards her.

"Wait!" Artoria screamed, urging urgingly, "Take me away in another way!" She really didn't want to be taken under her armpit anymore.

"Okay."

Rig readily agreed, and gave Artoria a hand...... Carried on the shoulder. "Isn't that worse!?"

Artoria threw herself on Rige's shoulder and let out a cry of shame. "[Advanced Teleportation]."

Ignoring the girl's accusations and struggles, Rig unleashed his teleportation magic and disappeared into the hills.

It was a workshop on the promontory near Tintager.

The workshop sits alone at the end of the shore where the waves crash, like a lighthouse, standing tall, and there is a chimney on the roof, which is smoking, and the smoke that comes out is not the kind of cooking smoke that can bring smoke to people, but the kind of exhaust gas that comes out of the work of industrial workshops.

According to Artoria, it was a forge that did not exist in Tintagel. In that forge house, there lived a blacksmith who belonged to the Earth Clan.

The blacksmith's name was Eckert, a blacksmith who had lived here since hundreds of years ago, and was a wicked man with a bad temperament, a bad attitude, a rough behavior, and a chaotic style, in Artoria's words.

However, such a wicked person is a rare friend Artoria has made in her sixteen years of life, and she even calls her grandfather.

"Whew!"

Rig, who took Artoria with him, teleported here, and put down Artoria, who was lying on his shoulder.

"Okay, how long are you going to be depressed?"

Seeing that Artoria squatted down as soon as she landed, looking like she had no face to see anyone again, Rieg was speechless.

"Didn't I just carry you here? I shouldn't be rough in my movements, right?" Hearing this, Artoria glared directly at Rige.

"Is it a question of whether the movements are rough or not? It's a question of how your way is right!" Artoria yelled with great dissatisfaction, "I'm a girl too, right? Can't you treat me gently, gentlemanly?"

"If you want, I can do the same to you." Rig looked directly at Artoria and said, "But it's certainly not what I am, it's a pretense."

"Are you willing to see me treat you as I pretend? Or do you want to get along with you as you really are?"

"If you choose the former, then I can change my attitude now?"

Rigg seems to mean something at the same time, and it is like a casual speech

Artoria fell silent.

「..... That's what it looks like."

The girl muttered, then stood up and walked straight in the direction of the forge yard. Rig couldn't help but smile and walked after Artoria to the blacksmith's workshop.

As she walked, Artoria's footsteps became hesitant again. It was clear that Artoria had some stage fright.

She seemed to remember the thing she had done to be sorry for Eckert, and struggled with the fact that she was about to see him.

But Artoria finally made up her mind, pushed open the door of the workshop, and walked in.

Rig followed him inside, and came to a messy, but unexpectedly shaped, forge.

"Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-"

In the workshop, the sound of striking iron was ringing.

The source of the sound was in front of a burning fire in the deepest part of the workshop.

There, a stout blacksmith with the standard dwarven appearance was hammering a piece of red-hot iron with a hammer, and judging by the shape of the iron, the other party was supposed to be fighting a weapon.

The arrival of Rig and Artoria did not attract the attention of the other party, and the other party's body also exuded a feeling of not wanting to be disturbed, which made people subconsciously hold their breath and dare not make a noise to disturb.

Artoria was like this, and when she saw this, she fell silent on the spot, and stood still.

Rige was not in a hurry, and seeing that Artoria did not want to disturb the other party and did not want to speak, he turned to another place and turned around in the workshop.

There are many things in the workshop, there are weapons such as swords, armor such as armor, and even some ornaments such as headdresses, bracelets, necklaces, and even hoes and shovels, giving the impression that it is more of a grocery store than a blacksmith shop.

But Rieg was surprised to find that every product here is of frighteningly high quality. Even those hoes and shovels are far superior to those of ordinary humans, let alone those swords and armor.

「..... At worst, it's comparable to the third-tier special armament, right?" Once again, Rig felt the gap between elves and humans.

A goblin is a being born with a mystery, and it is by no means comparable to humans who are inherently fragile and without extraordinary powers.

The Earth Clan is also a well-known forger clan among the six fairy clans, and the weapons created by them are at worst equivalent to the special weapons created by high-level forgers with the ability to develop "forging".

Rig walked around the workshop and finally removed a knife from the wall.

It was a short knife, about half an arm's length, and its blade shone with a cold light, and it looked very sharp.

Rige would notice it for two reasons.

One is that this short knife is the same as his Japanese wheel knife, which is black.

One is that this short knife has a good amount of magic in it, and the quality is also the highest in the entire workshop.

Li Ge didn't need to use identification magic on it to see that this short knife was definitely comparable to the special weapons of the second level, and maybe even more than that.

Just as he was so sure, a deep voice rang out.

"It was a knife I forged a hundred years ago, and although it was only a short knife, perhaps because of the high-quality materials used, the condition of the knife was unexpectedly good, and it was one of my best works in hundreds of years."

Hearing this voice, Li Ge raised his head from the knife in his hand, turned his gaze, and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

I saw that the dwarf goblin who was still striking iron in front of the furnace just now had finished his work and stood up.

No, instead of finishing his job, he stopped halfway through the fight.

I don't know if he was attracted by Rieg's actions, the dwarf fairy threw aside the iron that he had been beating very seriously, held the hammer in his hand, and came to Rig.

"E-Eckert.....?

」

Artoria called out weakly.

The dwarven elf ——— Eckert ignored Artoria, instead glancing at the fool on Riege's waist who was not being stucked into the storage space, and snorted.

"You have a very good knife on you, and with that knife here, you shouldn't look down on my clumsiness, right?" Eckert did have a rough tone and a bad attitude, and said, "The goblins who can shoot such knives, as far as I know, don't even exist in Camelot, where did you pick them up?"

Rig didn't answer immediately, but raised the short knife in his hand. "Can you give this to me, if you tell you?"

Rieger's words made Eckert frown. "Wait, wait!"

Artoria hurriedly stepped forward, intending to stop Eckert. Eckert, however, did not get angry.

"Take it if you want."

The dwarf fairy snorted coldly, and agreed very simply. Artoria was stunned.

"W-So talkative?"

Is this really the Eckert I know?
