Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 182 - Killing Goblins Can Save The World, Maybe
Two days after coming to the Bandeau region, the goblin exodus went well.
Based in the villages dotted in the northwest of the Bandeau region, we search from above for signs and when we discover them, we descend and destroy them, and when we're done, we search for the next one. I'm repeating that.
Hey, I'm here. Even though it's only been two days, I've already wiped out more than five hundred. I can't help but have trouble taking the Demon Stone of Crusade Proof.
There were a number of villages that could have had massive colonies just a few kilometers from the crowd and if they were a little behind, they might have been attacked and devastated. When you deal with it behind your back, you're in such a dangerous situation. Goblin sucks.
And more than that, Luca and Samantha's sisters suck.
"Holy shit! Fuck you, you son of a bitch!
"Ugh, I'll burn you to the ashes. I don't think a beast like you will return to earth."
"Ugh, Luca, and Samantha, but I'm scared,"
"… (Kokukoku)"
"You're angry with me. I know how you feel."
"Angry Hair."
"Pee! Pee's a middleman, too, kiddo!
It penetrates, chops and burns all the goblins relentlessly. I don't have the usual fluffy feeling at all. The kids are confused and atrophic, too. Pea and Woo are always the same. He's chewing up goblins and cleaving them with his nails. Even demons seem to have no intimacy with each other.
I know why. It's because of a human woman who was caught in this colony, who rescued her earlier. No, she's not bad. The bad news is goblins.
"Dear Beat, she wiped her body and put her to bed in the carriage."
"I just let you eat some bread that was sprinkled with water."
Cristella and Kikka, who had asked for the woman's care, came back. I guess what's left of the carriage escort is that Anya and Daisy who went with them aren't coming back. I have to protect Grandpa Murdoch, too.
"Very much so. So, she's going back to normal?
"... it could be Akan. Looks like we got caught a long time ago. The poison turns to my head. Talk to me, but respond to nothing."
"My body was worn out and full of bones and skin... maybe not that long"
"Yes... I can't do it."
Goblins are a species with only males. So grabbing and committing females of other races, having children and increasing them. Not only the human species, but also pigs and even Lizardmans, are subject to reproduction. She was used as the nursery bed.
Goblin is said to be about three months pregnant. And regardless of the mother's race, the child to be born will always be a male goblin.
The child born soon begins to eat the same diet as his parents and acquires reproductive capacity in about six months. It's just nine months from fertilization to adulthood. What a terrible rate of growth. By the way, they have multiple babies and have two to four kids at a time. The breeding power is also considerable. Since no female is born, the only salvation is not even rat counting?
And the goblins that grew up seize and offend another race of females. The damage spreads at an incredible rate. The Bandeau region today is in exactly that vortex.
The problem with this ecology is the stage of ovulation and the will of the mother. No matter how much you commit, you will not become pregnant unless you are ovulating, and you cannot become pregnant if the woman (woman) who is offended and refuses to conceive has herself lost her life.
Goblins are solved by pharmaceutical knowledge equipped with this as a pedigree instinct. The only part of Goblin that is less intelligent than a human being, is said to be better than a human. Those are two kinds of medicines: Goblin Ovulation Drugs and Goblin Paranoid Drugs.
Goblin ovulation pills are drugs that force you to ovulate and make it easier to get pregnant. It's a medicine that was available in modern times, but this medicine seems to work the same way. Modern ovulation pills were difficult to control and they had the effect of making it easier for twins and triplets to be born, but the same is probably true for goblin ovulation pills. Multiple births would be the effect of this medicine.
This medicine is not so much a problem in itself. Couples who want children would be happy to use it. In fact, it's pretty expensive, but it seems to be a popular product at auctions. Mostly nobles and the owners of big chambers of commerce. Someone who needs a succession seems to be buying it.
The reason it's expensive is because you don't get it unless you exterminate the larger colony there. It will be difficult for those adventurers there. We're getting some on this crusade, too, but we're giving it all to Mr. Murdoch. I hope it helps rebuild finances.
The problem with this medicine is the burden on the mother. Goblins have a short pregnancy, but they grow and are born long enough to stand and walk right away. That means it comes from taking all that nutrition away from the mother. Moreover, if it were multiple births, the load on the mother would be immense.
In addition, after giving birth, they are soon made pregnant again by ovulation pills. That load is far beyond my imagination for a man with no experience in marriage. Outrageous medicine without waiting for debilitating death...... no, it's goblins that are outrageous. I still can't keep goblins alive.
More vicious than this ovulation pill is Goblin's paranoid pill. This is a medicine that clouds consciousness and inhibits normal thinking, with a slight ecstasy effect and intense dependence.
Inhumane means it's a prohibited drug in the kingdom. It's enough to be a lifelong slave finalisation just because you possess it, but it seems to be traded at a pretty high price on the dark market. I can deduce the purpose. Lower species are everywhere.
Females captured by goblins are first given this paranoid drug. He is then given ovulation pills while his consciousness is blurred, taken back to the colony, offended, and conceived.
The administration of paranoid medications continues until pregnancy and childbirth. We can't even die from ourselves, and we keep them alive as a device that only gives birth to them.
This medicine has side effects and when given for a long period of time, your mind breaks down and you can't go back to normal. They say the time period to collapse varies from person to person, but no matter how tough they are, two years is the limit.
The woman protected by this colony was supposedly imprisoned for over a year due to her debilitating condition. Reintegration into society will be hopeless. That's enough to even think that losing your sanity might be salvation.
"Dear Beat, may I come forward, too? I'm not sure I can hold back my anger like this."
"Neither do we. If we don't eradicate these guys, he's too pitiful."
It's the expression and the words that make no difference to normal, but anger is flooding out of the two bodies. I can't seem to sit on my stomach like that. Well, there's no reason to stop it, and it doesn't matter. I'm a little annoyed, too, but let's leave it to them here.
"Don't get hurt."
"" Yes!
The two joined the Lucas with each weapon in their hands and entered the Goblin herd. It's only a matter of time before this colony disappears.
◇
No information has yet been obtained about the relatives of the children. We just found a group of families who had fled the same village as Kirara.
Even for that family, he said he could just get away with it right away because he lived outside the village, and he had no idea what happened to the other villagers. They hesitate to go check that there are still bandits (in fact, Nolan's army), and they can't ask adventurers because this country doesn't have an Adventurer Alliance.
If even the relying national army is busy with riot suppression, only peasants who do not possess combat skills do not have the means to go to the village. Luck took my side when this family fled without being attacked by demons to a nearby village.
However, the place where the village was told me quite accurately. Now we can go to the village of Kirara to confirm. I sent the woman I protected from the goblins to Mignola and I'm leaving as soon as I can...... holy shit.
"Nothing."
"I was expecting it, but I didn't want you to hit it"
"Kirala, don't let it get you down"
Only ruins existed there. I guess he was burned when he attacked me, supposedly originally at home, just lined up with a bunch of black carburized columns.
An exorcism fence surrounding the village remains almost undamaged, like some kind of joke. Even if it worked for the demons, it didn't seem to mean anything to the bandits.
Corner of ruins. It was no different there, just a few black columns lined up, a killer landscape place. I feel a few grown weeds are adding to my loneliness. Apparently this is where Kirara's house was.
"No, it's fine. I was expecting this to happen... so... uhh..."
At first she was a chillara smiling at her temperament, but gradually her voice was lowered and her face lay low, and eventually there was zero little whimpers and tears from her face facing down. Cristella gently holds that little trembling shoulder.
Tough. I've come across scattered cruel situations before, but the toughest thing is for kids to cry. I realize my powerlessness to do nothing. I don't care what the wizard says, it's to that extent. I don't know what I can do.
Even though it's summer, the cold wind blows through the ruins. If you look, a large entrance cloud rises on the western mountain. Apparently, the evening is going down today.
I wish the rain would wash away this depressing feeling too.
