Chapter 9 Slaying more goblins. (1/2)

Roland walked and walked, the place he was in wasn't that large If he compared it to the cities froe as surrounding the area and the buildings were closely packed together These types of standard fortifications were there in place to protect the city people frodoms like this, there were certain places that were off-limits Places with nasty monsters or poisonous terrain thatti his adventurer card, he decided to take a break at an inn Inside there were a lot of people chatting and a bard like person was playing on souild, this establishe There werein thele person in this city

'There is some room in the corner there do I need to wait for a waitress? Do they call them bar wenches here?'

He wasn't really sure, noble houses didn't really have any books about how the commoners lived For now, he decided to wait and see, he could probably learn from the patrons in here on how he should present himself He sat himself down in at the free table and looked at the people

Again he was greeted by a colorful array of individuals The elves were just as he read in books and saw in fiction, they were tall and slender with pointy ears Their hair color was either blond or white, he didn't spot any dark elves though While waiting a waitress finally appeared and gave Roland a curious look

"What will it be, little guy?"

He looked up, the wo one of those wench dresses that made him think of a German festival

"Ah I'll just have so to eat? What do you have?"

"For a char little fella like you? How about sorow big and strong?"

Roland thought about it for a moment and ordered both, he wanted to test the food here out if it was abysmal he would try a different place The woman smiled and walked away, he saw her move towards the bartender The wo

"One order ofcusto at the bar was quite large and e scar in its place

"What, you got soruel? Did you black?"

The wo the

"Shut yer trap, you idiot before I rumbled and went back into the kitchen, Roland, on the other hand, was deliberating on walking out He didn't like the sound of that, could this porridge be spoiled?

'Well this wasquite bland'

He looked at the erains, thewas seasoned nor did it taste like anything, the food here was literary hard to s

'UghI' is this what the coe copper coins

'So I need to kill two goblins to even have enough for a single uess life doesn't count for uild attendant about how oblin et this job done'

He left the coins on the table, the large lady instantly swooped in to grab those coins of the table Like a hawk diving for a nice plu fees and was said that it o se copper coins extra if he wanted breakfast to go with that He could also pay a monthly fee that would save hihtly above a oblins first, killing five of those a day would be thewith only oneany other expenses into consideration This sill also need repairing after a while'

He frowned, this wasn't turning out to be such a dreah, he was already used to slaying goblins and was already a L 5 e He only needed 20 e

'The only thing I still need is a map of this area'

He had the world map at his old home, but there were no city maps besides the capital and the city his family lived in He headed over to a library and had to spend another set himself one He made a mental note to check this place out later, maybe there would be some new books to read The more he read, the e was power and this skill's level was an indicator of it

'It's strange how that skill works, ould general knowledge help s I have never seen before?'

He left through the uards his new adventurer's card and was let out without a probleetting attackedthe goblins are probably somewhere in that forest'

Goblins were creatures that lived in groups They had a strength-based hierarchy structure siest member was the tribe chief The leader was oblin shaent than his tribe counterparts

'I sure hope it's not a Hobgoblin though, I don't think I'd stand a chance'

He wasn't planning on going to close to theit out hietting a free ether with his kill

'I should be careful, these goblins will probably be of a higher level than the ones they let oblins, even on higher levels they are quite weak'

He checked his iteain and then took out his shortsword, he didn't bother to talk with the farmers and just went inside The forest was densely packed with trees but thanks to his smaller stature it wasn't too difficult toclass like a Hunter would be helpful'

He wandered through the forest while on his toes Hebehind the bushes and trees in hopes of getting the drop on the ht choice as he spotted two goblins just lazing around by another large tree

'There we go if I only didn't need to chant this shi+tlevel 3 and a level 4 should be fine'

He could whisper the chants while casting, but that lowered the spell's destructive power by a notch It would be enough for these goblins though, his ence stat

"Source of allthe incantation Roland thought back to the ti He did a couple of tests,to soathering the h this body with the help of his skills It worked great all up to the ht at the end it always evaporated into nothingness

It just didn't work unless he chanted while ies It was as if the spells required two passwords, one being the chant and the other shaping the mana required for the spell

"Mana Bolt!"
