CHAP 12:SHIN, TAN, AND EROS.
I LET THE THREE GOBLINS LEAD THE WAY, AND TURNS OUT THAT THEY'RE REALLY TELLING THE TRUTH, AFTER ARRIVING IN THEIR BASE, EVERYONE GOT CAUTIOUS UNTIL THE THREE TOLD THEM THAT I'M NOT AN ENEMY.
I OBSERVED AROUND AS WE WALK TOWARDS THE ELDER'S RESIDENCE, I CAN SEE THOSE OLD GOBLINS TRAINING EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN STAND ANYMORE, I GUESS GOBLINS IS HAVING A ROUGH TIME SURVIVING IN THIS WORLD WHERE OTHER RACES TREATED THEM AS ANIMALS.
AFTER WALKING A FEW MINUTES, WE ARRIVED IN A RESIDENCE, IT WAS THE ELDER'S RESIDENCE.
"AH, THANKS FOR HAVING ME."I SAID TO THE ELDER WITH RESPECT, THOUGH HE LOOKS TENSED AFTER SEEING ME, WELL, I CAN'T BLAME HIM, THEY HAD IT ROUGH WITH A HUMAN AFTER ALL.
"AH, WHO IS THIS YOUNG SIR YOU BRING?"THE ELDER SAID.
"HIS A GUY WE FOUND IN THE FOREST UNCONSIOUS, HIS REALLY STRONG, MAYBE HE CAN HELP US."THE LEADER OF THE THREE GOBLINS SAID IN EXCITEMENT.
THE ELDER LOOKED AT ME AND SAID."I GUESS YOU HEARD OUR STORY, BUT, I KNOW YOU WON'T DO IT FOR FREE, I..IF YOU CAN REALLY HELP US, WE'LL REWARD YOU ANYTHING WE CAN GIVE."THE ELDER SAID.
"I....I GUESS I'LL TRY."I SAID, I MEAN, I CAN'T REALLY DECLINE THEM, THEY'RE JUST LIKE HUMANS THAT IS FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES.
"W...WILL YOU REALLY?"THE ELDER ASKED.
"BUT IT WONT BE EASY."I SAID."BASED ON YOUR STORY, HIS NOT ORDINARY SINCE HE CAN REDUCE AN ENTIRE GOBLIN VILLAGE TO THIS STATE, I'LL BE BORROWING THESE THREE."
I POINT AT THE THREE GOBLINS, THOUGH THEY'RE JUST NEWBORNS, I THINK THEY HAVE POTENTIAL, SO I THOUGHT I CAN TRAIN THEM AND HELP ME.
"YOU THREE, WHAT'S YOUR NAMES?"I ASKED THE THREE GOBLINS.
THEY EXCITEDLY ANSWERED, THE LEADER OF THE THREE IS CALLED EROS, THE FAT ONE IS SHIN, AND THE OTHER IS TAN.
"ALRIGHT, GROM NOW ON, I'LL TRY TO TRAIN YOU."I SAID, I PLAN ON USING THE TRAINING METHOD THAT IS USED IN THE ACADEMY.
WE SPENT TRAINING FOR TWO WEEKS, IN THOSE DAYS, THERE'S STILL NEWS ABOUT THE GOBLINS GETTING MISSING, THOUGH THE THREE GOBLINS IMPROVED A LITTLE, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF ENEMY, SO I DECIDED TO HEAD OUT AND TAKE A LOOK, I INSTRUCTED THE THREE TO CONTINUE TRAINING WHILE I'M GONE.
I HEAD OUT AND TRIED TO INVISTIGATE, BUT EVEN AFTER DOING IT FOR THREE DAYS, I FOUND NOTHING.
"NOW THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, MY MOTHER SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT ME NOW."I SAID.
"MASTER, WE'RE GLAD THAT WE MEET YOU, BUT, HOW DID YOU END UP IN HERE ANYWAY?"EROS ASKED.
"I'M A STUDENT IN ONE OF THE ACADEMIES IN BLACK FLAME CITY, I WAS OUT DOING MISSION WITH OTHER STUDENT, BUT ONE OF OUR MEMBER BETRADE US AND GOT ALL OF THEM KILLED, I EVEN THOUGHT I DIED, LUCKILY I SURVIVED."I EXPLAINED.
"ARE ALL HUMANS LIKE THAT?"TAN ASKED."WELL I GUESS NOT SINCE MASTER HERE IS KIND TO US."
"NOT ALL HUMANS ARE BAD, MANY ARE GOOD, I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS IN BLACK FLAME CITY, THEY'RE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE, THERE'S ALSO MY MOTHER."I PAUSED THEN ADDED."I REALLY MISSED THEM."
"DON'T WORRY MASTER, I'M SURE THEY MISS YOU, YOU'RE SO KIND SO THEY'LL NEVER FORGET YOU."EROS SAID.
"ALRIGHT, CONTINUE TRAINING."I SAID WITH A SMILE, THIS IS NOT BAD EITHER.
ANOTHER MONTH PAST, THE THREE GOBLINS IMPROVED DRASTICALY, I LET THEM HUNT BEAST THAT IS MORE STRONGER THAN THEM TO GAIN EXPERIENCE, OF COURSE, I'LL INTERFERE IF THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND, THEY ALSO GAINED MUSCLES AND MUCH MORE AGILE NOW, THEY CAN EVEN BE CONSIDER AS THE TOP FORCE IN THEIR FRONTLINE.
EROS IS GOOD AT WIELDING SWORD SO HE'S THE DAMAGE DEALER, SHIN HAS A GOOS BUILT AFTER BURNING ALL HIS FAT AND GAINED MUSCLES, HE BECAME A PROPER TANK, AND TAN WAS GOOD AT RANGED WEAPONS, HE'S A GOOD SUPPORT, THOUGH THEIR SKILL IMPROVED, THEY'RE STILL NOT CAPABLE ON DEFEATING THAT DR.GUY, BUT ATLEAST THEY CAN BE A LITTLE HELP.
I DISCOVERED THAT MONSTER TYPE CREATURES LIKE GOBLINS, ORCS, ETC. DON'T HAVE CLASS LIKE HUMANS, INSTEAD, THEY EVOLVED AS THEY GAIN EXPRIENCE.
WE SPENT ONE MORE WEEK, THEN HEADED OUT, THE THREE GOBLINS LOOKED TENSED.
"DON'T WORRY, IF WE CAN'T DEFEAT HIM, WE'LL RETREAT, I WON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU GUYS, SO RELAX."I SAID, WELL I GUESS THAT WORKED SINCE THE ENTHUSIASM IN THEIR FACES CAME BACK.
WE ROAMED AROUND THE CROW FOREST TO FIND THAT CRAZY DOCTOR, BUT EVEN AFTER LOOKING FOR TWO DAYS THERE'S NO SIGNS.'I THINK HIS REALLY GOOD, HE CAN KIDNAP GOBLINS WITH NO TRACES LEFT BEHIND, HE MUST BE A PROFESIONAL.'I THOUGHT TO MY SELF.
THEN SUDDENLY, A BIRD THAT HAS FOUR WINGS AND AS BIG AS A HORSE CARRIAGE ATTACKED US, SHIN BLOCKED THE BIRD'S TALON WITH HIS SHIEL, I GUESS THEY REALLY IMPROVED.
"IT'S A FOUR WINGED TIGER EAGLE."EROS SAID.
"WHAT IS THAT THING DOING HERE?"I ASKED."I HEARED IT CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR THE NORTHERN CITY."
"BUT, MASTER, WE REALLY ARE NEAR THE NORTHERN CITY."SHIN SAID.
"WHA...."I CONFUSEDLY SAID.'WHAT I STAYED HERE FOR MORE THAN A MONTH AND I THOUGH I'M ONLY IN THE CROW FOREST.'I THOUGHT TO MYSELF.
"THEN WHERE ARE WE?"I ASKED.
"WE'RE IN JIVA MOUNTAINS NEAR THE NORTHERN CITY MASTER."SHIN SAID AS HE ONCE
