Chapter 16 Hello, Mr. Goblin.
Translator: Tchu
While Shaar was packing his luggage, the pitiful creature nearby stared at him dumbfounded.
This guy carried all the “spoils of war” on his body, not leaving anything behind. A gigantic round backpack tied together by countless ropes, it made Shaar looked like a human-snail.
“Hey.” The pitiful creature simply could not bear and reminded him: “We are going to look for a buried treasure …… mountains of gold and silver! Do you still have to bring all this junk?”
Not counting the other things, even the split armor was packed carefully by this fellow like it was his most precious treasure.
TL: My Precious!!!
“Mountains of gold and silver? We still have yet to succeed obtaining it. Perhaps our hunt will be a fruitless one and we return empty-handed.” Shaar displayed the typical cautious attitude of mountain folks: “With these things, even if we do not find the buried treasure, I will at least not return empty-handed. If we find the buried treasure, I can still let go of it.”
This guy was not only a hillbilly, but also a miser.
The pitiful creature gave Shaar a new definition in her heart.
However she was a bit moved by this fellow.
At the very least, Shaar gave the pitiful creature the white rhinoceros leather armor, stripped from Martha!
Among the loot, this rhinoceros leather armor was the only one in perfect condition! This hillbilly unexpectedly gave that to her!
It seemed like he was not an outright bastard after all.
Unfortunately, this slight image improvement in the pitiful creature’s heart was only short lived before it got shattered.
“I lend this leather armor to you because I heard that dragons like shiny things. If we encounter the dragon, you can better attract its attention wearing this silver-white leather amor.”
…… Alright! He was a total bastard!
The pitiful creature could only bitterly grind her teeth: Keke, keke……
When did Shaar ever have time to pay attention at the mood of this fellow? He took out the map that Bidaldo drew and carefully looked at it. Giving it a cold laugh, he tore the map in two.
“Hey! What are you doing?”The pitiful creature froze: “Why did you tear that map ……”
“Fake.” Shaar replied without hesitation and instead stared the pitiful creature deep in her eyes: “Did you think this map was real?”
“But ……”
“Hmpf. This map pointed its direction towards the west!”Shaar showed a very confident expression: “However I remember the magician taking the compass while looking at the terrain and telling his companions to go northeast when we were still hiding in the tree! At that time I thought he was just a simple fool and made a mistake with the directions. But now looking at like, that person was the only one who had a brain in their ground and therefore would absolutely not made such an obvious mistake with the direction. He intentionally gave his companions the wrong information……The direction he gave was where the dragon should be!”
The pitiful creature stared blankly at Shaar……
This rough looking hillbilly, who would think that he actually remembered all these details and kept for himself? The previous unimportant details actually turned out to be crucial! Although this guy was vulgar, he actually was not an idiot.
“So, we should walk towards northeast, right?”
Thinking a moment, Shaar tightened his belt and inserted his charred pitchfork on his waist to its original position. He resembled now a mercenary from the Primal Wildfire Town.
Shaar faced the pitiful creature and closed his eyes for a moment: “Yes towards northeast ……However, I have a question I need to ask you.”
“What question?”
“Have you ever encountered a goblin in your life?”
The pitiful creature immediately turned pale! In Primal Wildfire, encountering goblins was much more terrifying than meeting a group of dwarves! Dwarves, although short tempered, but at least, they do not eat the humans!
Goblins on the other hand attacked in large number, were disgusting and despicable. These things were even more hated than rats. The most important factor, they eat human flesh and would even grind your bones to powder……not forgetting your body fat will be kept in some clay pot to use as oil reserves and winter stocks!
