Chapter 24 To Learn,To Understand

Forgot to add <Growth Correction 2x> in chapter 22 sorry !

===============================================

While i brought goboku into the cave i also ordered the slimes to start repairing the wall as quick as possible i also wanted to dispose of the rotten body that was on the field but whenever a slime would approach those cubs they would start barking at it so i dismissed that for now and started to see how much damage we took i also set a few of the strength goblins to guard the entrance the security slimes also got back to their position as quick as possible to report to me.

-ahh…

Gasumi groaned as i strapped a wet piece of cloth over her wound,the cloth was a piece of my shirt when i first came here but now its nothing but rags the clothing was already unusable to begin with so i made bandages out of it.

Gasumis wound was deep but she would live.She had been caught by the fangs of the wolf when she stood up she bled a bit but it wasn’t serious and not permanent either.

-Here eat this

I was holding a green herb shaped like a star i used <Appraisal> on it and knew that it had a pain killer and healing effect when consumed there were far more herbs in my storage with other effects but this herb would serve me nicely.Gasumi was a bit confused but didn’t question it and just ate the herb making a really bitter face when eating it…i almost laughed it didn’t taste good did it ?

But as i was thinking that i could tell from our bond that gasumi was calming down from her pain as she slowly loosed her grip to my right hand and started to nod off.

I smiled for a bit and patted her head her hair was short and black as a smile crept onto her face.I also looked at her emblem to see what kind of name she had her emblem illustrated a hand with chains holding it in place,as its name stated <Untouchable Enchantress>.

She slept peacefully as i took out a piece of pelt to give her as a blanked and like that i stood up and looked at the other wounded ones…

-.ohh ! ehm ahhh..(The Female Goblins)

They all seemed to be in pain and moaned a bit but i could also see a very cheeky light in their eyes as if they were just pretending to be in pain,i also noticed they were staring at me the whole time in silence when i was fixing up gasumi but now they were starting to make sound as if they were on the brink of death…come on even if you act try to be more believable while doing so !

I shook my head helplessly and looked to my right side…goboku was sleeping.I had already seen her through and did what i could but the moment we stepped into the cave she already lost conscious and for a minute i was worried that she got some kind of poison but at the same time her status window shows she was completely alright…the only thing i could do was wait for now..i sighed.

And like so i was busy taking care of the female goblins for another hour or so while i was doing that…suddenly the security slimes contacted me.

-Lord there are 4 individuals in the forest 3 of them are armed and 1 is a little child….

I was a bit alert at that moment and quickly answered.

-Put me in let me see…

And like that i used my <Transmission> Skill and connected to the senses to one of the security slimes and he was right there were actually 4 people,one of them seemed to be a child a girl ? i couldn’t really tell but from her body structure i assumed so…anyways she had a sack on her head and her hands were tied up she was carried on the shoulder by that one guy who looked really buff he had heavy leather armor on and a greatsword behind his back his his facial appearance was rough and a bit intimidating but nothing else he looked like a warrior to me.The other two were much more slimmer and smaller thou but they looked well equipped too especially the guy with the black robe.The ornaments on his robes were well designed and placed he also held a staff in his hand with a <Magic Core> placed on its top…the third guy was lightly equipped but i could tell his attire was mainly for mobility and slight protection he wore twin short swords and some daggers on his belt…All three of them held a really annoyed grim expression as they were talking with each other i couldn’t really hear anything from my position only observe but luckily they stopped at a tree where one of my security slime was placed…i switched my perspective very quickly and started listening.

-Man we have been walking around like idiots trying to find that motherfucking wolf ! Phil you said the wolf was in this area why can’t we find it ?

The warrior yelled a bit annoyed the other black robe he was called “Phil” turned to the warrior evenly annoyed and said.

-Dude i already told you my <Rising Dead> skill is very risky i can only use it once every 2 days and the probability of its success depends on the level of the monster i am trying to erect from the dead and on top of it you were the one who said you wanted a pet ride and its not like we are searching it because you want a ride the <Magic Core> inside of the wolf is very valuable go home if you don’t understand that muscle head.

While these two were going at each other the third guy was still silent looking around and after another 2 minutes he raised his hand on both of them and said.

-Stop what your doing we are being watched.

I was shocked for a second but i quickly recovered…he knows i am watching him ? wait yes he knows but he doesnt know where i am watching him…does he have some kind of detection skill ?

The other 2 were a bit startled to his announcement and quieted down looking around trying to find me but that was useless.

-Man i can’t see anything aren’t you just paranoid or are you trying to scare us ?

The warrior said with a mocking tone while he glanced at the rogue.The rogue just shook his head and said.

-Maybe we should just leave this area is unexplored we may find ourselves in trouble if we don’t….

-How many times am i going to say it we can’t leave without the <Magic Core> ! steven would kill us if we would come empty handed !

Interjected the black robe with obvious fear in his voice at that the warrior suddenly made a disgusting smile and slapped the ass of the little that was on his shoulder i could hear a slight whimper coming from there…that asshole.

-Don’t worry we have this little bunny we picked up steven will be happy be happy about it too and probably forget all about the <Magic Core> adding her to his collection on top of it there are more from where she came from !

He laughed at his words which both of the guys didn’t find it funny at all and just kept quiet…

I cut the transmission and ordered.

-Personal slime group follow me on a distance the rest of the slimes stay at position until i tell you what to do if the situation with those 4 changes report to me and if they move somewhere tell me.

With that said i opened my status window.

-…

I was really hoping you know……only 0.02 gain in strength…..meaning every level up i do i gain 0.01 strength…oh man.I scratched my head out of annoyance but i didn’t shout this time i already expected something like this to happen and its not like i have only this choice i could also learn some kind of magic…but still i had hopes which were just crushed to death…anyways my other stat gains were pretty good i gained at least 20 stats in one attribute other then strength i also gained more skills like <Might> which did nothing to help my strength..Anyways it gave me a 5% strength gain from my base attribute meaning it gave me 5% of 0.03 points…other then that i gained <Fighting Spirit> which was a buff that temporarily increased my power by 50% for 2 second which wasn’t useful either because it also relies on the base attribute.I also gained some pretty useful level ups on other skills such as <Appraisal> and i also gained the skill <Night Vision> which was useful but also really confusing on how i had gained the skill in the first place but right now i didn’t really have time to think about it so i just ignored it and started heading out to the exit.

-WAAAIT !

I was startled for a second and realized gobuha had jumped in front of me moving her hands to my chest to stop me.

-Where are you going !

I made a wryly smile i actually wanted to sneak out without getting noticed so i tried to play it casually but i think thats impossible since we are all connected with a bond and know how we feel my uneasiness must have alerted most of them since they were glaring over here.

I gave gobuha a glance she seemed somewhat determined but it couldn’t be helped that she is a bit nervous.From what i know gobuha and goboku both have intelligent characteristics making them one of the most shining people in this group but over all gobuha was very different from goboku who could keep her calm at almost every situation possible thats why she always wins a brawl analyzing her opponent and trying to use their weakness against them that is her nature so you would think someone as intelligent as gobuha would be the same but no……gobuha she was not bad she would come close to the finals but she would always lose at the second last round,the reason for that you may ask ? Its because she can’t keep her calm the big difference between the two was that goboku was always scheming while gobuha would only anticipate one or two moves from her opponent and if things didn’t go as planned she would always get thrown off her path and start panicking because of it sometimes even the slightest intimidation over her can result in her starting to panic and of course fear is natural to all beings but ignoring your fears and facing them is another thing a whole.I watched her fight against gobura who had the highest strength attribute she could predict some of her moves but the one unpredictable thing about gobura is that…she doesn’t care.Gobura has fears like we all do but she mostly always tries to crush those fears with her bare hands into a pulp she only shows those fears openly in a hopeless situation like when she was cornered by the hob-goblin or stood in front of me those things are the result of her instincts that drive her and this unpredictability is something that highly counters gobuhas nature because even if she is smart how can she stop something that almost doesn’t have fears ? It is a act of courage to be able to charge into something without knowing its clear result and just hoping for it to work out not many of us do something like that and just give up seeing it as a unchangeable result but there are also people like goboku who are just plainly stubborn and force their way through.

I looked at gobuha who seemed determined to stay at her position no matter what .I could feel nervousness and fear coming from her through our bond she didn’t want me to leave and wanted to stop me even if she gets harmed huh ? I wondered do those emblems really make them grow faster ?

I sighed and just patted her head this sudden movement made her a bit surprised but she didn’t seem to hate it and just eased up a bit more so i said.

-I need to go out and try to sort some things out i take gobuhiko and gobusaku with me for help you stay here and manage this until i return understood ?

Gobuha shook her childlike little head and said.

-We can send others !

I turned my head and looked at the so called “others” they weren’t badly injured but injured nonetheless if i make them do something more harder it may become heavier then this and the reason i took the 2 agility type goblins was because they were okay and they suited this operation more then anyone else.

Seeing my gaze gobuha hardened for a bit but she couldn’t say anything because she knew what i was implying to and just nodded at the end and let me pass nonetheless i was a bit proud of her.

Before i left the cave goboku assured me that she will do her best until i return i wasn’t really worried about it and just left leaving her with a lot of provision for the others i wasn’t sure if this was going to work but i really needed to get to the 4 before they leave my reach.

As i moved towards the destroyed wall i could see some slimes making good progress repairing it there were also some female goblins taking guard here and there they weren’t surprised when they saw me because i used transmission to tell everyone where i was going to go gobusaku and gobuhiko also stood at the entrance waiting for me.

I waved at them as i approached them in turn they nodded at me with a sweet smile on their faces.For some reason these two always reminded me of some professional assassins…now that i am thinking about it both of them have the skill <Assassinate> <Stealth> and <Quick Draw>.
