Poor Noble Nod's Adventure Volume 1 Chapter 8

Other adventurers seemed surprised by the appearance of the Genius group who was battered and returned from their job.

They worried about what happened one after another, and they told them that they had met a group of goblins, once they looked frustrated and once again they were surprised to tell how big the goblin group is.

Before leaving the forest,  the adventurers are counting the goblin corpses that were there, there were 40 goblin corpses.

According to the Genius, they fought goblin several times in front of the square and in the woods. The tried to run away from the goblin that appeared one after another even after defeating some, but they were caught up and was fighting in that place where it was easy to cooperate in order fight.

The testimony means that they were fighting more than 50 goblins, and Genius group who survived the death battle with the goblins will be praised and screened by other adventurers and alchemy guilds. Nod is also praised for its help and its fighting skills.

Nod yet again eat the fish that he caught is and now his food is even more luxurious.

The Genius made a big meal with the food they had because they were grateful.

Nonetheless, those who are wounded and shed blood need a meal (the magic won't restore their health even if the wound is closed), and Nod also provided more fish at any time, resulting in a great meal (Mainly preserved food).

Nod was glad that s.h.i.+no, Genius and her team were good at cooking. s.h.i.+no, whose home is an inn in her hometown, has fully demonstrated her cooking skills he has gained since his birth in a limited environment.

Then, as she makes the food, other adventurers were mixed in and looked like a banquet.

Genius had already raised his heroic story several times today, and one of the adventurers who heard it said:

"If there was such a goblin, maybe the scale would be reasonable. Isn't the gold and silver treasure pretty decent ?

Hearing the words, Genius looked up his face by vermilion on the bonfire.

He didn't realize that because he was running away for his life.

Later, Nod receives an invitation from Genius, the party leader. "Tomorrow, on the last day, I'm going to explore the goblin nest."

Nod worried about the words.

Today, the amount of medicinal herbs collected was small, partly due to the impact of the battle with the goblin population. It is about 60% so far. Although we have gathered so far to date, will we be able to spend time on another thing tomorrow?

In the deadly battle with the goblin, Nod also achieved a great deal of results, but if you ask for subjugation, you won't be willing to pay for collecting herbs.

Nod hear that the goblins have the property of acc.u.mulating treasure in their cave, but the goblin is a goblin. But what if it is money?

In the end, Nod chose to go adventure, after all hesitating. He lost to the temptation.

When he told Genius that he would accompany him, everyone other than Genius was pleased. Apparently thanks to the crisis, Nod's likability seems to have increased.

The next day, Genius has proposed to start exploring as soon as the sun rises. As for Nod, if it can be collected in a good amount of time even if it end quickly, he would never pa.s.sed something like that.

As Nod lay down in preparation for tomorrow, drowsiness immediately hit him. Nod fell asleep …

The next day, Nod was ready as soon as his eyes open. The Geniuses quickly made preparations, and the group proceeded back into the mountain where they fought again.

The corpses of the goblins stood all day long and had a bad smell. There were also dead goblin corpses in the forest that Genius fought and slaughtered.

Around the time Genius was attacked by the goblins, medicinal herbs were also prosperous. Nod only seemed to lost some copper coin, and he felt that he wanted to go through the search several times and return to the herb collection.

“… That…! Stop!”

While exploring the forest with Genius, suddenly one of his team, Alumina, called out to the party.

Alumina was born as a hunter's daughter in his hometown. A ranger with archery with the skills, in yesterday's battle, after the arrows were exhausted, she was fighting with the goblins using a dagger. In a forest with many obstacles, bows and arrows are disadvantageous, so they are now on her shoulders.

Alumina slows her footsteps and moves carefully. In the forest, Nod is trying to moves without any noise. Compared to a ranger, Nod realises that he still has no idea how to walk in the forest.

Alumina returns after a while.

According to her, she seems to have found a goblin-like place.　

They move carefully to their destination according to Alumina's instructions. From there, Nod can sees the goblin.

Apparently it looks like a lookout. He can only see one figure.

Nod and Genius talking softly so that they couldn't noticed by the goblin.

"You may still survive, but will you go?"

When Nod asked Genius, he confirmed. He then instructed Alumina to snipe the lookout goblin.

A few steps away from Nod, Alumina changed the arrows, gently held the bow, and squeezed the strings. When Alumina focused on the goblin and united the spirit, he released his hand from the strings.

From the bow that stretched to the limit, the arrows were released with tremendous momentum, and the emitted sound reverberated in the surroundings.

However, it was erased by the early morning bird roars and the rubbing of the leaves of the trees, and no one else heard the sound other than the party.

The arrow pierced the head of the goblin, and he died without knowing what happened to him.

Nod carefully approached the goblin corpse.

The lookout seems to be only one thing, there is no reinforcement.

The coral is a cave that continues to the back, and the inside is not known from the entrance.

Nod exchanged their intentions with a glance.

── Let's go.

They lit the torches prepared last night in their hands and stepped into the goblin cave.

The cave was dark and deep.

Nod carefully explored in a cave with less visibility than the outside. Genius in particular, seemed new to this kind og thing based when they were sieged and chased yesterday, and they were relentlessly alerted to the rear as well as being free from pinching.

The cave is intricate and has a narrow pa.s.sage. The goblins occasionally appeared in a large s.p.a.ce.

　Nod met several goblins there, but the number was small, and he was able to control immediately without taking time.

A large s.p.a.ce–the room was used for a variety of purposes, such as a goblin living s.p.a.ce and food storage. But those primitive things were not worth it, only a few copper coins were found.

This may end empty, and Nods expectations that were surely present before entering the cave was completely gone.

　── when he left the room where there was a goblin corpse, and approached the next pa.s.sage, Alumina, who was walking at the front, again gives the party a wait instruction.

Nod quickly understood the meaning. It was because the voices of the goblins were heard from the back of the pa.s.sage.

Apparently there are some number of goblins.

After deciding the strategy quietly, Nod proceeds to the back of the pa.s.sage.

The back of the pa.s.sage was a huge s.p.a.ce.

The gradually growing voices of the goblins echoed the walls of the cave.

As if to be confused by the sound, first firing of Aluminas arrows began.

The goblins in the room suddenly looked at the arrow that had grown on the heads of their brothers and found that it was an enemy attack.

They rushed and looked at the entrance, but at that time the party attack had already begun.

Before the arrow stabs, Nod and Genius jumped into the room to slash the goblins with their sword.

s.h.i.+no also follows, throwing a throwing knife in his hand. The goblin, who stabbed the goblin and screamed in pain, was immediately stopped by Genius.

Geigos who rushed in late, stabbed a goblin with both hands and skewers the goblin. In the cave, it was not easy to handle, but in this open s.p.a.ce I was able to swing enough.

Recess was a trick to get the healing magic if there was an ally who was hurt by the goblin attack, but it didn't seem necessary.

There were dozens of goblins in the room, but they couldn't respond to the surprise and were greatly reduced in number and killed without rebuilding.

Only goblins corpse remains later.

“This is the end?”

s.h.i.+no said in a light tone.

“… Probably “

Alumina and Recess were also wary of enemies coming from behind, but there seems to be no sign of reinforcements.

"I don't see a pa.s.sage," Geigos, who set up a spear against his body, noted that he had a view of the room but no other way. Apparently this is the last room.

“Well, do you want to search for another room?”

The search in the room began with Genius words.

Two people on the lookout Geigos and Alumina who stood up looked at the entrance and looked around the room with other faces.

The last room–the hall was larger than the previous rooms, and it was full of things, so it took time to explore.

“What is it?”

She shouts while playing with junk that s.h.i.+no does not know what to use.

So far, Nod hasn't found any gold coin.

“Oh!”

At that time, Genius raised a happy voice.

What? Nod is wondering, Genius took out one box.

It was an old box, but it did not seem to be a goblin handmade. Probably the one that was brought back when the goblins attacking humans.

The wooden box has a design and a keyhole.

When Genius shook, the sound rang.

"What is it ?!"

s.h.i.+no asks with the voice he expected.

“Maybe …”

A box about the size of a small child.

Genius inserted the goblin sword on the side of the box and forcibly opened it. Unfortunately, there was no one with the lockpicking skills, including Nod, so it was a reasonable action.

“Wow!”

The contents of the opened box were exactly what s.h.i.+no said.

Apparently this was a treasure chest of goblins, and there were various things inside.

There were some things that were not so valuable, such as s.h.i.+ning olivine and obsidian, but there were a decent amount of money in them.

“Hmm … looks like a copper coins …”

-Jarajar and Genius takes the contents.

Other friends are gathering to be worried. Alumina was peeking away from her place, and Geygos played the role of a watchman.

Finally, as a result of counting the contents of the treasure box, they were able to obtain a large amount of copper coins and fortunately several silver coins.

Unfortunately there was nothing else that was remarkable, so that money was the reward for this adventure.

By the time they left the Goblin Cave, the sun was rising completely.

In the morning, he will ride on a carriage of alchemy guilds and take a journey back to the capital.

After that, Nod gathered herbs with Genius before the day came, and finished the task of collecting herbs at the end of this request.

After that, at night, it was a banquet following yesterday.

Everyone was expecting about the results of the battle, but after all they said there wasn't much, so they sighed, "Oh, it's a goblin…"

By the way, the treasure of goblin cave, including silver coins, settled at the same amount of money as if Nod gathered herbs all day long if it divided to Nod and Genius's friends together.
