"Are you sure you're here?"

I don't know. But the most likely place is underground, right?

Except for Takan, the rest of the group went to look for high-ranking horse-riding people. But I couldn't see if he was determined to hide. So I changed the method. To turn over everything that might be hiding.

"Hmm. I don't think so, but... It wouldn't hurt to try."

Le Penia touched the ground. According to low-class mah people, the mah people often hide deep in the ground. So I was trying to turn the ground upside down.

But how do you find the ground? We can't sell each piece of land, can we? Let's just start somewhere else..

"Stuck through."

With Lephenia's horse, darkness erupted from her body. Now the power of Rephenia was no longer to come. It does not rely on the sword and does not fall off compared to the chariot in general availability.

The darkened ground began to thump. Asher grabbed the head of the low horse and flew back.

What are you doing?

"You don't want to get caught up."

What are you getting into? No matter how many of you....

The grumbling low-class maids shut their mouths. The wave of power penetrated deep into the ground and began to spread.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Then it exploded. The earth crumbled from the inside and turned into sand, and the ground went out. The land, as large as the Empire's capital, was endless.

From the huge hole in the lake, Le Penia jumped out.

"Not here."

A monster.

The low horse was frightened. Lephenia smiled bitterly.

"Now I'm new. Asher, but I don't think it's going to be easy.”

"I suppose so."

Even if Le Penia can overturn a water-sized land at once, the land is the springboard for everything. Even she takes months to overturn all the land around here.

"I don't even feel the lingering scent. The only thing left is that goblin."

Monsters who came back from the ground, reached the hands of the Maas. If left alone, it was clear that a high-ranking mahjong would approach it in some way. I left it alone for him, but Lephenia seemed reluctant.

"Asher. Are you sure you're okay?”

"I don't care."

Lephenia bit her lips at Asher's prompt reply.

"No matter how well you know, it's a monster. Besides, it is expected that the high horse would have given him intelligence. Maybe they'll abandon us and cooperate with the Ma people."

"That doesn't change anything."

Even if the Tacan cooperated with the Ma people, the difference in power was huge. Nothing has changed unless the devil takes his own initiative.

"And that's not going to happen."

Asher gave a definite answer. Lephenia looked slightly surprised at the conviction she had not heard.

"…I didn't expect you to judge someone else.”

Asher was rarely sure what kind of person he was when judging others. It was judged that other people's views were distorted and distorted, and that they were completely different from themselves.

Then he affirmed to Goblin, not even human. Asher said, releasing his hand from the head of the low horse race.

"It's because they look alike.”

***

"Hmm."

Tacan tapped his shoulder with a spear. I scoured the monsters one by one as if I counted them.

"Twenty. A lot of you came."

"If you don't follow me, you know?”

The splinter in the whole body of Lizadman has hardened. Tacan grinned at the visible threat.

"A sense of master."

There was only one thing they would be called.

"Is that precious body all right?"

Watch your mouth! I won't forgive you for your insults and rudeness!"

"….It's really not funny.”

Tacan hit the window into the ground with a tired face. Monsters frowned at the attitude. Tacan opened his mouth before they roared.

"You guys look special."

Not all of them were typical monsters. Said Lizadman with a proud face.

"This is our power! It's a mighty power from my master!"

There was a mockery on his face.

"And you have nothing. All I have is an intelligence. That's why you were kicked out to the ground."

"I see."

Takan nodded knowingly.

"Now I know why I gained intelligence.”

"Follow me."

The monsters surrounded the Tacan as if to keep them from running away.

"My master calls me.”

"Good. Guide me."

The takan jumped to his feet. They, who were preparing to resist, stepped back for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?"

"…no, come this way."

Monsters took Tacan to the nearby forest. In the middle of the forest, Lizadman pressed the maple-colored tree.

Keying.

The tree fell to the ground, opening the way to the underground. Tacan was impressed.

"That's another wonderful thing."

"Come in."

"Okay, so hurry up. He doesn't know the virtue of waiting."

"Shut up."

"That's not funny."

Despite all the complaints, Tacan went down to the basement. After a ten-minute walk, the stairs ended.

"This is again."

A huge underground space was visible in Tacan's view. The goblin was locked in the cylinder glass. Some of them were strangely twisted, constantly screaming, and some of them banged their heads into the glass.

"What do you think of your own people? You're also a failure like them."

The Rizadman mocked the Tacan. The takan kicked his tongue.

"Bad taste. If you fail, you'll kill me beautifully. Why do you keep me locked up?"

“…….”

"No, it's not because I'm alive, and he isn' not him.

"…your son."

Lizadman's face has hardened. Instead of laughing as ever, I looked at Tacan with my eyes looking at a distinct being. Tacan laughed at Lizadman.

"Don't make any strange tricks. That's what I look like a coward."

I'm sorry.

"Lord, my lord!"

The monsters bent their knees in surprise. Only Takan stood proudly and looked in the direction of the voice.

My slaves have given me trouble.

The smoke clumped together to form a huge face. Tacan said with a soft face.

"It's all right to know."

"Yes, you! How dare you, Master!"

You guys shut up.

It was a friendly tone, but the words were not friendly at all. Monsters hit their heads and trembled with fear. Tacan looked up at his face.

"You made me.”

***

I created your intelligence.

The high horse people were positive.

Modify the monster to gain strength. It's one of my hobbies.

"That's the angle. It hurts my pride. I thought there would be a more plausible reason, but it was only an experiment.”

Tacan grumbled, but there was no despair or negation in his voice. He smiled a smile.

"You're doing all the crap."

Gives the monster intelligence and gives it extra strength. The reason why there has been no such monster so far was because there was no such benefit.

It's easy to modify a creature, but it's difficult to change it stronger and harder. Even the highest horse tribe could not simply do it.

But even with that change, monsters are monsters. As Lephenia exterminated, the limit was clear. It was an act of no gain and only difficulty. Takan's words made the high horse laugh.

It's all I need to be happy. And thanks to that, I was able to survive.

"Are you okay outside? The ground has been pounding."

Not very good. I can't find out where I am, but I can't do anything because that act itself is under pressure.

I could not feel any power from the united face. It was a vision, not even a alter ego.

But you came. The only monster that's gaining their trust.

The high horse continued with a pleasant air. The takan bobbed the window.

"I have no intention of helping you."

We'll have to see.

said the high horse with a grin.

I began to touch the monster. First of all, the purpose was to give intelligence and to make monsters have the power they cannot have. And you were close to the beginning of them.

Takan's expression did not change, even though the high horse gave him intelligence. The high horse followed.

But you only had intelligence, and you didn't have much power. I thought it was a failure and sent you down to the ground.

The high horse mumbled something funny.

Don't tell me, you've changed so much since you didn't even care. I don't know what time is.

"So why did you call me a failure?"

I asked a question, but I knew the reason roughly.

He is a close monster who invaded this place. It was a powerful defeat for the high horse. Perhaps he would tempt me to give strength and urge me to betray him.

"I can't ask for power."

As Takan expected, a high-ranking mahjong lured him in a languid tone.

Don't you want power?

"It doesn't go against my expectations.”

Takan laughed at the words of the high horse.

"You think I want that?"

Of course not. The window-crazy goblin. For you, the spear is everything.

If I hadn't seen Tacan, I couldn't have said it. The high horse followed.

That's why I'm suggesting. You will implore me.

"You didn't see it right. I don't know what to do with my strength..”

You are Goblin.

The high horse cut off the Tacan.

I didn't touch your life when I touched you. Let's see. I'm about twelve. There's not much time left.

“…….”

Tacan was silent. The high horse people laughed.

You won't be long before you die.

Goblin has a short life span. Even if the Tacans live long, they can only live 30 years. There are only nearly twenty years left.

Your spear is the fruit of a wonderful effort. He who makes the same effort as you on earth and on the earth will be counted in one hand. But can you really reach the point, just like him?

"That's impossible."

Tacan spoke plainly.

If it was a matter of talent, more effort was needed. If effort was a problem, you could have tried more than that.

But neither was it. The life span of a race, just fixed from birth. That was the limit of the Tacan.

"He has barely achieved the goal of his entire life. It's impossible for you to get there in less than 30 years."

Tacan had a cool grasp of himself.

Sodmaster. Asher's reach was something that could not be achieved simply by talent or effort. Perhaps he was more likely to fail.

You will not achieve the result of your lifetime's dedication, and you will end up with the limits of your race, regardless of your will or your thoughts. Unlike him, he leaves nothing behind, and he will die like that.

The high horse made a prophetic sentence. Tacan shrugged his shoulders.

"So what do you want me to do?"

It's too bad. You are definitely something. Even if you look at the whole Ma tribe, there will be no one worth more than you. Isn't it too sad that such a existence can't be achieved due to its life span?

"One long horse."

Tacan's face was irritated by the continuous words.

"Just get to the point."

I'm a high horse. Touching you, touching monsters.

"…it's getting annoying.”

The takan grabbed the window. Monsters backed away momentarily. As soon as the hand holding the spear was struggling, the high horse said.

That means it can prolong your life.

The Tacan stopped moving. The high horse smiled long as if they knew how Takan felt.

I can extend your remaining life span by 80 years. I'm a high horse. It's not like increasing the lifespan of a monster.

"80 years. That would be close."

If Tacan had that much time to judge, he had the potential to reach the Swordmaster. It was a guess, but it wasn't impossible.

The human being reached because it had a human life span. But you didn't get there, only because you were born Goblin. Don't you think it's too unreasonable?

The high horse said. With an air of fascination, the Ma people lured the Tacan as they did.

It doesn't give you the power of the Ma tribe. It just extends the lifespan. It doesn't go against your values.

He will still handle the spear, only to increase his life span. Tacan said quietly.

"The price is betrayal."

It's not betrayal. The most valuable thing to you is the spear, and the end of it is the ground. It is not a relationship with others.

"…you know me very well.”

I said I was looking at you deeply. I think it's natural to choose the most important thing, what do you think?

Tacan was silent. Even the high horse tribe did not talk much more.

"It's sweet."

Takan gave a bitter smile.

"It's so fascinating.
