12 Let's Poison Them!

In the morning, Rosalina opened her eyes after feeling the warmth of the sun on her cheeks. As usual, every time she opened her eyes in the morning, there were notifications about three new mission options for her.

Rosalina got up and rubbed her eyes. Glancing over to where Lyra was perched on a tree trunk. Monitor the situation from up there.

Rosalina greeted her colleague as well as asked about the situation after she fell asleep last night.

"Nothing happens. The majority of the goblins only patrolled within a radius of about three hundred meters. There are some groups that went away, maybe more than a kilometer away, but the direction is not here."

"The villagers?"

"…Three women were brought into the cave around three o'clock in the night."

"Tsk, at this rate, they will reduce to none before reinforcements arrive."

Lyra looked at Rosalina's wrinkled expression, took a deep breath and said to Rosalina that she had to start preparing and adapting to the concept of death.

Life in this world is harsh. Rosalina will only feel pain if she can't suppress her humanity in a critical situation.

"Is that true?"

Rosalina asked, because for her, if she presses something that makes her human, then she will turn into a monster.

Lyra couldn't answer. She just shook her head and said that everyone has their own point of view. Rosalina also has her own path and principles. Lyra had no desire to influence those principles.

But in this case, Lyra just reminded her partner not to be rash. Helping the citizens was impossible. Instead of helping, they might just bring disaster.

"At times like this, I hate my weak self."

Rosalina said quietly. Lyra couldn't say anything, because she felt the same way.

After checking the situation from Lyra. Only then did Rosalina glance at the mission notification from the system. When she thought of opening a mission. The notification window changes to three new windows.

Rosalina initially acted casually when she read the mission. But after she finished reading it, the woman was dazed.

Seeing the three new missions, Rosalina had to admit that she was very surprised. No matter how she thought about it, the system seemed to be forcing her to undertake the third mission.

Killing three Goblin Warriors? Does the system want her dead?! Not to mention the prize is just a pen. The first mission was completely worthless.

The second mission, burning the entire settlement is the same as burning all the captured villagers. And about the goblins? It is highly likely that there will be survivors, in which case the survivors will find new human villages to occupy.

This second mission had a lot of downsides. And again... what's with the system and cooking books?

'Does this system really want me to be a chef?!'

Rosalina could only stare blankly at the reward of the second mission. She shook her head then turned her attention to the third mission.

A mission that the system seems to have imposed on her.

Rosalina squinted and understood this third mission. Tell residents not to drink water. The task is quite surprising and strange, but if you look at the rewards after the mission is completed. Rosalina could at least guess what the system wanted.

'The system wants me to poison the goblins!'

The woman didn't know whether the system listened to her pleas last night or not. However, with this mission, there is a way for Rosalina to help the villagers who are being held by the goblins.

Cyanide is nothing new to Rosalina. Although she has never seen it in person. This poison quite often appears in television dramas or actual news of murder cases. So, Rosalina knows how terrible Cyanide can be.

One bucket of liquid Cyanide. Usually used as a pesticide to kill agricultural pests. Now it will be used as a human pest exterminator. Rosalia couldn't help but laugh inside herself.

The question now is, how effective is the poison against monsters like goblins, let alone the Goblin Shaman who leads the monster settlement?

In fact, this is still a big question. But when considering the previously obtained objects from the system, all of these objects have a much greater and magical effect than on Earth.

This cyanide, too, somehow Rosalina feels it will be far more deadly than what is known on Earth.

It's not just Rosalina. Theodore himself had the same thought. That's why he only gave one bucket the size of a basketball. Theodore was so sure of the potential poison of the Earth.

With the poison, Rosalina doesn't need to think anymore. She immediately chose the third mission.

The first thing Rosalina did was call her partner, Lyra. She reveals the plans to her partner, informing her that she has quite a deadly poison.

"Telling them to not drink in two days might be too much, Rosa. Right now, I'm sure they're already thirsty and hungry. If two more days are added, I think some will die of thirst.``

Listening to Lyra's opinion, made Rosalina a bit pensive. What her partner said was somehow true. Death from dehydration can happen. She did not know whether until now the prisoners were given water or not.

Rosalina thought for a moment, then took out a map from her waist bag. At the same time she also opened the map feature on the system.

The map on the system is clearer and more detailed. She looked at the two maps at the same time, looking for the river closest to where they were.

There is a river about five hours away. Back and forth will take about ten hours.

Rosalina pointed out the river, telling Lyra that they could smuggle the water to the villagers.

"It's quite a distance. Looks like I have to go. Sending you is too dangerous, and besides, you can't make a makeshift water jug ​​out of logs yet. But, the question now is, are you sure that your poison will work?"

Lyra said after thinking about her partner's plan. She actually feels a bit strange, because Rosalina was only talking about the poison now. Why not from yesterday, when Ricky was still around?

But when you think about it, Lyra thought it might be because of Rosalina's nervousness. This was the first time she had traveled deep into the jungle like this. Maybe she was still adapting and afraid.

However, when she looks at the condition of the villagers. It seems to make her guts to rise, so she makes plans like this. However, this plan relies heavily on Rosalina's poison.

Hearing the question, Rosalina nodded confidently. Sse even dared to swear that the poison could even kill a Goblin Shaman with ease.

Lyra couldn't help but take a deep breath. In fact, she herself is also very sympathetic to the fate of the villagers who are currently being held captive. If there is a way to save them before the number of victims increases. Then she will do it.

It's just that Lyra can still be cool-headed.

"I'll get the water. While I was away, you sneaked into the settlement and told the citizens about your plan. But remember, if it is not possible to infiltrate, don't do it. Wait for me! And lastly, think of a backup plan in case your poison doesn't work."

Lyra immediately prepared to leave. She'll try to come back in twelve hours. Before leaving, Lyra reminded Rosalina again.

"Don't be rash! I don't want to see your corpse when I get back."

"Don't worry, I know."

Lyra left and now Rosalina just lived alone in the middle of the forest not far from the headquarters of a group of monsters.

She climbed up a tree, then monitored the condition of the settlement with her binoculars.

"Okay, now… how do I sneak in there?"
