Chapter 4: Departure - Goblin Lair!
Late at night, surrounded by starlight and cicadas, Schutt lay in bed looking at the ceiling, reminiscing about his experience.
"Obviously, something is wrong with this system. Such a magical, vibrant, medieval world can't be a post-apocalyptic wasteland! ”
"It's a different world of swords and sorcery no matter how you look at it!"
"That golden-haired beauty with pointy ears must be an elf, and in that case, that bearded woman is probably a dwarf."
"And they also mentioned goblins..."
At Fang Cai's dinner table, after some exchanges, Schutte was born
It was revealed that those adventurers were all in the Adventurers' Guild and received the commission issued by the village chief of this village. The commission is to ask adventurers to come and clear a new goblin lair.
This commission is rated as a "C" rank by the Adventurer's Guild, which is a relatively simple and ordinary commission.
After all, "wherever there is water and mushrooms, there are goblins", as a highly fertile creature, goblins are found all over the continent, and if you are not careful, a bunch of them will pop up in the damp corners, and they are savage creatures that rely on their numbers to bully the few.
However, the strength of goblins is not strong, they are not strong, and their size is quite small, even the height of an adult body will not exceed 1.2 meters, and a wind demon wolf can enter and exit seven times in a goblin pack.
... It's no wonder that when I told me to kill the wolf, they all showed that surprised look of "how could it be done?"
However, before the doubts of several adventurers could be spoken, Schutte aimed at the moon outside the window and raised his hand to fire several shots in succession, demonstrating the power of modern military products, and the deafening explosion sound and dazzling gun flames immediately extinguished all doubts about Schutte's strength.
The dwarves and female warriors immediately became eager, even the cold elves smiled kindly, and the little mage Ellie's eyes sparkled even more when she looked at Shute!
"You can use powerful magic items that can easily kill the Wind Demon Wolf... Definitely a Grand Magus! If you can ask him for help, this entrusted task will be much safer, and if you take the opportunity to get closer, maybe you can get the other party's guidance! ”,
Ellie thought so, and the arrogance of being a high-level magic apprentice vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only an exaggerated smile of friendliness, respect, and even some flattery.
"The seniors are really amazing! But... It's the first time I've received a commission from the Adventurers' Guild, can you please help me complete this commission? Rest assured, my share of the reward is all for you! ”
In this way, with curiosity about the other world, Schutt naturally joined this temporary team of adventurers.
The next morning, Schutte woke up on time from his biological clock, which he had cultivated for many years, and reflexively reached for the alarm clock on his phone.
Then I felt empty.
Yes... Oh yes, I've crossed over.
Schutt pushed open the window and watched as the sun rose with a slight glow on the horizon. A sense of comfort arises spontaneously.
I seem to have been... It's been a long time since I've seen a sunrise.
Outside the window, in addition to the sun, there was also the tallest tree in the village, and the elf sat on the branch leaning against the trunk of the tree at some point.
Shute walked over to the tree, and the elf noticed Shute's gaze and nodded to Shute. A smile appeared on that calm face, and that was his way of showing kindness.
The elf leaped deftly from the tree, and the big man landed on the stone pavement as silently as a bird on the soft lawn.
"Those two drunks are probably still asleep, and they still have plenty of time. Of course, if you're in a hurry to go, you can wake them up. Seeing that Shute didn't move, the elf took out two red fruits from his pocket and handed one to Shute, "... Apples, do you want to eat? ”
Schutt took an apple, thinking that there are apples in another world, and was about to say thank you...
"Hey, hey, you two are talking nonsense about who the drunks are!" , The heavily armed dwarf uncle suddenly appeared, carrying two battle axes in his hands, looking fierce and quite difficult to mess with.
"Hmm!" Schutte stood tense.
"Hold... I'm sorry! The elf blinked quickly.
The fierce face under the uncle's helmet got closer and closer...... Hey, that's a laugh!
"Hahahahaha! Scaring you guys? The uncle took off his helmet, and the fierce aura disappeared.
The elf looked surprised and looked at the seemingly ordinary helmet, "Spiritual shock... The protection of the god of war? ”
The dwarf uncle looked proud, "I know the goods very well, sister, I fought with the priests of the God of War Temple back then."
The elf sighed helplessly, "I... I'm a man. ”
The uncle's smug smile froze on his face.
Schutte took the opportunity to take a closer look.
Look at the smooth blonde hair, the moist eyes, the straight nose, the pink lips, and the chest as flat as a plank......
... Well, it's really male.
"Oh! You're all set. The female warrior carried the great sword on her shoulder armor, which was shining and apparently had just been anointed.
"Hey——! Ellie~Ellie! It's time to go! ”
She slammed Ellie's door to the ground.
Ellie popped up from the window, looking distracted, "Whew, the first time I took the commission, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, and I memorized the spell book all night." ”
"Hey, we're all veterans, and we've brought in a great magician who can solve the Wind Demon Wolf alone to escort you, you can rest assured!" , the female warrior pulled Ellie out of the window directly, "Breakfast is ready~ I'm waiting for you!" ”
——————————
Sitting on a wooden cart towed by two chocobos, the group soon left the village.
Beneath the cliff, in a hidden corner, hides the target of their journey, the new Goblin Lair.
Looking at the depths of the dark cave, even adventurers who consider themselves experienced can't help but feel a little uneasy.
The dwarves tightened their armor, the warriors clenched their greatswords, the elves drew their feathers, and the mages raised their wands.
Ellie whispered, "Elves of light, please help me and show the way with light!" "A small ball of light hovered in front of them, emitting a shimmer like a firefly.
Schutte fastened the carbon nanoknife to his wrist to ensure that it was always available, and printed out the pistol and held it tightly in his hand.
It's nice and the sense of security comes out!
"So... Are you ready——! ”
"Ready!" "Hmm." "Okay!" "Okay."
Outside the cave entrance was a morale boost, but there was still dead silence inside the cave, and the goblins in the lair had no idea that they were coming to an end today.
Following the ball of light deeper into the cave, instead of bumping into the goblin who was guarding the door of the lair, as several people expected, on the contrary, he had entered the depths of the lair, but did not see a goblin.
Until... The narrow cave suddenly opened up, and the moment several people realized that they had entered a spacious underground space... A flash of fire burst out in front of everyone's eyes!
