"The goblin crusade was a good experience in many ways, but I don't think it would be of much use to me."
The adults in the village were more familiar than I thought, and all acted without danger.
If someone was going to be attacked by goblins, I would consider using a shield to protect them, or putting nail-hard air on the ground to stop them from moving, but I've never done that.
I thought fantasy knowledge of past lives was meaningless in the face of action supported by experience.
Another thing I was acutely aware of was the physical differences.
The reason why the adults in the village were able to swing their spears calmly and knock down the goblins that I managed to escape was probably because of the huge difference in their physiques.
The average height of adults participating in the subjugation is about 180 centimeters, while that of goblins is about 120 centimeters.
The reach was different, the weight was different, and the goblin's charge was blocked by a shot.
"If I use body-strengthening magic, even if I can stop the goblins from rushing in, I don't think I have the leeway as the village adults."
"If you're worried about goblins like this, defeating the bigger monsters will be a dream come true."
"There are limits to the use of heavy weapons."
If I had an attack magic that could kill with one hit, I wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but the portability of weapons made with natural attributes is a problem, so magic can't solve this problem.
"If it could be solved with magic, it would be to get a magic tool that uses carving magic, the magic gun."
The magic gun, as the name suggests, is a gun that uses magic. I heard that it has a history of about ten years.
There are two kinds, one is to replenish one's own magic power, and the other is to use magic stone bullets, and it seems that regardless of the attribute, it can launch intermediate fire attribute attack magic.
However, the price of a magic gun can buy a house in the royal capital, and a bullet using magic stones seems to cost several gold coins.
“Although it’s not very expensive, it’s not affordable for a country kid like me.”
"In the end, I can only do something with natural magic and body-strengthening magic."
On the second day of the goblin expedition, I set out early in the morning to collect medicinal materials.
Yesterday, I noticed herbs growing on my way to the cave, but I didn't have time to gather them.
During the day, we catch and eat fish in the swamps, but after the spawning season, the number of fish dwindles, and the overwintering fish dive into deeper abyss, quickly becoming impossible to catch.
In winter, the types and quantities of medicinal materials decrease, and wood rats are trapped to survive the winter.
"I have to think about how to make money in the winter."
When I went to Grandma Karisha’s pharmacy with a basket of herbs and fish caught in the stream, Zeol was there.
It seems that since she started teaching me body-strengthening magic, she started learning how to make tea.
"Grandma Carissa, I'm here to collect medicinal materials, and fish is an added bonus."
"Uh, how did you collect so many? No, you didn't pick up all the roots."
"If you do that, you're going to lose revenue next year."
"Yeah, I'll just keep the inventory."
When I started spending time here, Grandma Karissa taught me how to gather herbs.
At that time, he told me sourly not to pull out the roots, but to keep what will grow in the future.
"Mr. Zeol, you worked hard yesterday."
"Hua Wuming seemed to have been working hard until it was demolished."
"I can't defeat the goblins by myself, so this is a good opportunity to learn how to dismantle them."
"I plan to go on a crusade next week, so be prepared."
"Yeah, I'll try to help next time."
By the time I finished drinking the tea Grandma Karissa made for me and talking to Mr. Zeol, the sun had completely set.
“If I don’t bring the fish home, the table at home will be poor.”
"Let's go home too, Miss Karisha, you've been bothering me for a long time."
"Hey, you bought tea, don't worry about it."
To rough people and naughty children, Mr. Geor is a scary old man, but he has a gentle expression towards children and old people.
The gaps between him glaring at Miguel and drinking tea in the pharmacy are hilarious.
Because we had to go home together, I listened to stories about the country’s subjugation while walking.
"Do goblins and kobolds conquer in the same way?"
"Yes, but kobolds move faster, so you have to be careful."
"How much better will that cave I conquered yesterday be?"
"I don't know, but there won't be any other monsters settling in this winter."
Goblins and kobolds appear to reach their breeding season in the spring, around that time new groups form, and in many cases caves conquered in the fall are selected for habitat.
"How many more crackdowns are you going to do this year?"
"It depends on the monster's movements, but it's best to do it about three times more."
"Does this happen every week?"
“The people involved in the crusade also have their daily lives.
Those who participated in the crackdown yesterday were all elderly people in the village.
In a mountain village like Azka Village, they are not qualified to make demands on adventurers in the city, so the adults in the village will use their spare time to participate in the crusade.
Therefore, the crusade seems to be carried out at a rate of once a week so as not to delay the main business.
"That said, there's still a week until the next crusade, so we have time to come up with something."
"Hmph, don't think about moving in such a hurry."
"Uh, no, I didn't mean it."
"I can tell from your face that you cheated on me. I want to do something."
"Well, I just helped dismantle it yesterday."
"No one would think of relying on a chick that had just completed its fledgling ritual."
No, Dulles' father was willing to leave the dismantling work to me, but of course the other adults took care of me and kept me from getting hurt.
"So you can't suddenly become an adult."
"Yes. Besides, you will leave the village one day, right?"
"I want to enter the city and live as an adventurer. Although I haven't told Mr. Geor, I think it can be conveyed."
The house is nice, the village is nice, the only worry is Grandma Carissa from the pharmacy.
"Think carefully about what you can see and learn from this year's expedition. Also, if you want to go into the city and become an adventurer, you should be able to defeat goblins yourself."
"We still have a lot of problems to solve."
"Hufufu, if you get carried away just because you can use physical enhancement magic, you will die."
"I'll remember this..."
"Now that we have arrived at the door of the village chief's house, I want to leave Jersang and go home, but it seems that all the adults in the village have already gathered."
"Oh, it's Mr. Jeor, Mr. Jeor is back!"
"What is this? What's going on?"
"Miguel hasn't come home yet."
"My son too!"
It was Dulles' father and Kimble's parents who changed his blood.
"It seems that he took out a sword from the warehouse of the village chief's house."
"I searched in the village but couldn't find it."
"Did you really go into the mountains? Are it just the children?"
At this time, the village chief appeared with a tired look on his face.
"Mr. Jere, what should I do?"
"It's already dark and the moon is about to set. We have to wait until daybreak to find it."
"Can you do anything?"
"Monsters can see things at night. We can't walk in the forest without relying on light. Moreover, walking with a torch risks causing forest fires."
Everyone who lived in the village knew how reckless it was to go into the mountains at night without warning, but Mr. Zeol's words once again spread a sense of despair among the gathered adults.
"Hua Wuming, which mountain did you go to today?"
"Today we were by the stream in the northern mountains, but we didn't see Miguel or the others."
When entering the mountains, he would pay attention to his surroundings to avoid being attacked by monsters.
This does not change even after moving using steps.
Now that he was walking at a higher position, he could see further than before. If Miguel and the others were in Beishan, they would have noticed it.
"What mountains did they enter?"
"Hey! Watch me go to the West Mountain!"
He must be looking for someone in the village.
“Western Hills maybe”
"Hey, Hua Wuming, where are you going!"
"The charcoal hut. Even if the goblins attack in the mountains to the west, it is possible to escape to the charcoal hut."
"Hey wait, Hua Wuming!"
I broke free from Mr. Geor's restraints and started running towards the charcoal-burning hut in Xishan.
"Although Miguel and the others are annoying, I don't think they should be eaten by goblins."
Use physical strength enhancement magic to run with about 20% strength.
With this, you can run at the same speed as sprinting for a long time without reinforcement.
In addition, if you use physical strength strengthening magic, your eyesight will also be strengthened and you can see clearly at night.
Partly because of the bright moonlight, I ran towards the mountains to the west along the village road, which looked the same as during the day.
