Chapter 26 - (26) Lay Of The Land (1/2)

The group looked a bit surprised, he just shook his head. 'How could they not realize this, also Albus, why didn't most of these Goblins drop Skill Cards for them?'

:Goblins are stupid creatures, they don't get a Grimoire until Level 10, even then, its intelligence is typically flawed:

Geth chuckled a bit but didn't say anything. One of the women walked up to him. ”Is there any way you can take us with you?” She asked, looking at one of the children. Her husband was the man he'd been talking to.

Geth shook his head, ”I'm sorry, but I have my own family to think of.” The woman and her female companions listening all looked disheartened. The men, on the other hand, all had solemn gazes, they understood his decision.

He looked a bit perturbed by this, these women were all acting like they wanted to be taken care of. 'If they don't step up and get strong themselves they'll just end up dead.' He thought, thinking of how much a burden they would be for their husbands. They would need to change their mindsets to survive in this place.

The first man just shook his head and looked at everyone. ”I think Geth here has given us more than enough help, no one died today thanks to him.” He stuck out his hand, ”Call me Hulk.”

He laughed as he said his own name. Geth chuckled a bit as well and shook his hand. Hulk told him, ”I plan to keep my family in the area, likely in the woods to the west. If you ever need help, come and find me.”

Geth nodded and prepared to leave. Before he left, he took the time to cast Restoration on everyone who was injured. They called out their goodbyes as he started walking southwest. He simply waved his hand over his shoulder without looking back.

As he continued on his journey, he would occasionally run into small groups of Goblins again. Each group was led by a Level 10, and the groups always had 8 Goblins.

He could typically deal with each group in about three minutes. Their attacks were monotonous and he learned their patterns pretty quickly. 'It seems that there are multiple Dungeons, there's no way that these creatures came this far from the eastern woods.

A pensive expression crossed his face, he tried to think about what the layout of the land would be without humans. There should be a large river about 15 miles to the north of his starting point, it would head off to the west and curl around.

It would cut off the path directly west as well, after about 35 miles or so. The eastern side would be a vast area of fields and forests. Directly south, likely 5 to 10 miles past the cave would be a swamp.

Thinking of the southwestern direction, he could only picture wooded areas and fields if the roads were taken away. There may be a couple of wet areas, but nothing as big as the swamps.

Further south, after around 150 to 200 miles in this world, another river would be cutting him off. He was glad that he didn't need to go that far. 'Even to the east, there would be a massive body of water after... 800 miles in this world. Well, it's a large area, but it should be possible to clear it over time.
