Chapter 22 Goblin Heart

Towards the end of February, the second brother ran away from home.

Normally, people who went to the city to look for work left the village on the first day of the new year, but this year the snow fell so heavily that the carriage could not pass.

I would say that there may be a similar situation in the nearby villages, and the search for work in the city is also about to start, but people who used to live in the city should find a job.

Without job seekers from the surrounding villages, the city turned into a seller's market with labor shortages, but after nearly two months, even with the labor shortage, jobs began to flow.

If this happens, the number of vacancies will be insufficient for those who want to work, and it will now become a buyer's market.

Perhaps because it was difficult to find a good job, my brother had a dull expression on his face when he left home.

"My family doesn't talk much."

For better or worse, cat owners retain the temperament of cats, so they are individualistic and headstrong.

If she wants to, she'll stick to her.

Although he didn't give a satisfactory explanation, he probably guessed it if he didn't say it.

My second brother is four years older than me, but for me, who remembers my past life until I was sixteen, I realized from birth that I was older than him.

Whenever my brother, who was ten years younger than me, said something to me that he didn't understand, I would get annoyed and hardly talk to him.

Ten days after my brother left the village, Mr. Zeor met me twice in three days and asked me to accompany him to the city.

"Hey, Hua Wuming. I'm going to the city the day after tomorrow, so come with me. ”

"Is there anything you have to do with going into town?"

"The village chief will be present at the church during the departure ceremony, so I will be his bodyguard."

"Even if I go with you, it won't help as a guard."

"What are you talking about? Can you climb to a high place and look down from above, if you want? When you're in a riot in a crowded city, you can grasp the situation from above. Being able to do this would be a huge advantage. ”

"I see, it's definitely going to work."

The day before entering the city, I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

At graduation ceremony, I plan to bring it back to the restaurant I bought and earn some pocket money.

The lesser-known mushroom source I found was a drifting pond-like place deep in the rocky area of the stream.

The windswept leaves have rotted and turned into a fluffy mulch.

The rising humidity in the stream may make the humidity suitable for the growth of mushrooms.

Of course, watch out for monsters and beasts when picking mushrooms, but make sure the villagers aren't following you before heading to a secret location.

According to the village rules, if you find a mushroom, you take it to the village chief's house.

If you sell it in the city, you will make a lot of money, but if you bring it to the village chief's house, he will buy it for two small pieces of silver.

"That's ten times the price of a wood rat."

"If someone discovers this little-known place, it's going to be uprooted, and then you'll never get it again."

To this day, I carry a basket of herbs on my back and disguise myself.

Only three large items were sold this time, but a few small ones were growing.

"Looks like he's giving me pocket money."

Dig out the roots of the mushrooms that are easy to fall with the soil and put them in a bamboo basket to prevent the umbrella from breaking.

The bottom of the basket is covered with a damp cloth to keep it fresh even when you go to town.

When I finished picking Pluen mushrooms and came to the stream, I met a fairy.

It seemed like he had come to the swamp to drink, but he didn't seem to notice me behind the rocks.

My gaze swept around the elf, and I pricked up my ears to see if there was any movement.

Most goblins act in groups of two or three, but this goblin seems to act alone.

"What would you do?"

In order to increase his magic power, he eats the heart of the monster, and he has not given up this wish.

If you're a solo goblin, it's good for custom orders, but if you can't kill and summon allies, you'll have trouble.

Continuing to observe, the goblin cautiously observed his surroundings and trembled towards the swamp.

They are more likely to be targeted by enemies when eating or drinking, so extra caution must be taken.

"Alright, let's try this magic."

I've been thinking about how to take down the magic of monsters safely and securely.

As a lightweight cat person, I found tips in my battles with kobolds to reliably defeat monsters using small arms made of celestial magic.

One is to run down from a great height, gain momentum, and make the most of your body weight.

Another way is to take advantage of your opponent's weight.

When he fell under the blow, he immediately held up his spear against the kobold who pounced on him, using the ground as a support.

Because the Celestial Attribute Spear is invisible, the kobold is impaled by his own weight.

One of the characteristics of celestial magic is that it has a fixed power.

When I practiced shielding, I noticed that if you pin it in a specific place, it won't move unless it's broken.

If an enemy rushes at you, they will self-destruct if you secure a spear or sword in their path.

"The Invisible Spear is too brutal."

The Necklace of Death

"I chose one of the stationary weapons at the prototype stage."

After casting the magic, I picked up a rock and threw it at the goblin.

Also, these stones are not meant to hurt goblins.

In fact, the randomly thrown stones landed on the rocky ground with a loud noise.

"Guy Guf"

Hearing this, the goblin jerked and fell, a large amount of blood gushing out of his neck.

The blood of the elves stained the swamp water red.

"Wow, it's even more brutal than I thought"

The death asphyxiator is a ring-shaped disc with a blade attached to it.

I hung it around the elf's neck and threw a rock at it to surprise them.

When he tried to stand up first, the back of his neck felt rough.

Surprised by the pain, this time I blew my throat.

The goblin fell into an invisible blade and self-destructed.

I cautiously approached the motionless goblin and poked it with a spear made of celestial magic, confirming that it was completely dead.

Luckily, most of the blood shed by the goblins was in the stream, but even then, the other goblins might not come because of the smell of blood.

Use celestial magic to craft a set of protective suits and quickly start disassembling.

The demolition had already gone through the autumn death, so it was carried out without hesitation.

Roughly slashed under the ribs with an empty attribute knife, the internal organs containing the magic stone and today's heart were taken out.

I cut the piece of meat, took out the magic stone, washed it in the swamp, and threw it into the basket.

It's finally time for the longed-for Monster Heart, but it seems dangerous here, so move to a safer place.

We walked along the stream towards the village and descended near Byobuiwa.

I sat on a rock by the stream and made a cutting board and a sashimi knife with celestial magic.

It seems that in order to increase the magic power, you must eat the heart of the monster raw, but what worries me is the presence of parasites.

If I'm not mistaken, I've heard that heartworms in dogs and cats are parasitic in the arteries of the heart and lungs, so it's not surprising that they are parasitic in the hearts of goblins.

I tried to split the heart in half, but couldn't find anything that looked like a parasite.

I carefully cut it thin, thin, but I couldn't see anything moving.

When his heart was cut in half, he stopped.

I don't even know how much I should eat, and I'm reluctant to eat raw monster meat.

"This is a barbed rod, this is a barbed rod and so on, is the barbed rod forbidden? Yes, I'm going to eat you! ”

Get ready to throw the elf's thin heart into your mouth.

Sure enough, the pumps that carry blood throughout the body are quite chewy.

I thought it would be a little bloodier, but it tasted like blood and it was fresh, so it didn't bother me too much.

"It's like horse meat sashimi, there's so much texture."

"This would be great to eat with garlic oil or ginger oil.

After eating three or four slices, I felt something strange in my stomach.

The feeling of getting hotter and hotter, like stealing the eyes of your parents while drinking in a previous life.

"Is this goblin Goo?"

Through physique-enhancing magic training, he learned how to control magical energy, which was good, but a large amount of magical energy was taken from his stomach and tried to work in his veins and veins.

"I can control so much, but what can I do? Should I eat more? ”

If you do something unreasonable and lose consciousness, you may fall prey to monsters and beasts, or you may fall into a stream and drown.

Besides, if I'm sick, I won't be able to go to Ibro tomorrow.

"Nevertheless"

I was fully aware of the risks, but what came to mind was the scene where the Adventurer's Guild was measuring the magic index.

My mana is 32 and Horacio, who was discovered by the Cavaliers, is 465.

A year has passed, but I still can't forget the numbers from that time.

At that time, the near-fifteen-fold digital gap seemed to be widening.

I tried to reprimand Horacio, saying that one day I would go to the royal capital, but I didn't know that even if I went to the royal capital, he wouldn't be able to deal with me.

"Now that Horacio and I live in different worlds, we may not be able to communicate."

The cat slave complex unconsciously eroded me and exacerbated my impatience.

"One more piece, one more piece"

"I can't stop putting that goblin heart in my mouth."

The next morning, I should have had a good night's sleep, but when I felt that I had not slept enough, I went to the village chief's house and was immediately attacked by Mr. Zeor.

"What's wrong, Hua Wuming? You must have slept a lot. Are you so excited to go to town that you can't sleep at night? ”

"No, I can't swing today, it seems that I worked too hard yesterday"

"Ahh

"yes, be careful"

"By strengthening the body, let it recover."

"Ah, yes, I see."

I think it's too much, but I can't say that eating a goblin's heart excites me.

Since then, I haven't lost consciousness, either fortunately or unfortunately.

However, although he is conscious, he is not in a state that can be called normal.

His body was full of magic, and his state was already on the verge of spiraling out of control, as if he had taken an overdose of stimulants and drugs.

Even with a large range of attribute magic and physical enhancement magic, there is still a surplus of mana, and it looks like the mana will come out when you burp.

I felt like I could do anything, so I made a slide from the mountain and slid to the bottom of the mountain.

"Don't ask me why I did it."

"I don't understand anything myself, so I can only answer."
