Chapter 24 Death eaters (2/2)
……Do not misunderstand, it was not Shaar that wanted to take a bath, nor did he want the Pitiful Creature to take a bath (right now, even if Shaar pointed a knife at the pitiful creature, she would not be willing to jump in river to take a bath while everyone was watching.)
What needed to take a bath were the goblins!
Goblin had a very fine tradition. Their hygienic habits were known as the worst of all the “civilized” races!
Even in the language of goblins, the word or expression of “clean” did not exist.
Regarding goblins, the majority of them would not even take one bath under normal circumstances from their birth until their death. Their bodies were always covered by layers of dirt, dust, soil and even disgusting excrement. With time, their skin would start to add an additional layer of skin, similar to armor.
In the goblin ethnic communities, only prominent goblins would have the custom of taking a bath.
For example, the tribe leader, a feudal lord, or…… Princess.
That’s right, when Shaar asked Mr. Princess Oaks the question whether he had the custom of taking a bath, Mr. Princess tilted his head, thought for a moment and replied:
He remembered that his previous bath was before his weeding with the feudal lord……
However, before that, he could not remember another time.
In short, you could not use human standards to measure creatures such as goblins.
For a goblin, those who were willing to wipe their ass after excreting were already considered as one of the rarer clean goblins!
Think about it, when there was someone standing next to you that did not bathe or clean their butts for many years…… What smell would that person have?
What’s more, what if it was not only one, but a crowd of them?
When Shaar gave Mr. Princess the task of escorting the captives yesterday, he actually had no choice – when a crowd of goblins stood together while having a meal, if you did not suffocate next to them, then your respiratory system definitely had a very serious problem.
Now that it was decided to take these goblins with them, Shaar had to do something to save his nose.
While the goblins were lazing around, Shaar made several gestures for a while but these fellows shook their head and were not willing to jump into the river. Getting impatient, Shaar simply started kicking several goblins into the river. Seeing their master getting angry, the rest started to jump down one after another by themselves.
The recently promoted prison warden Mr. Princess started to laugh, taking pleasure at the others’ misfortunes, but soon discovered that this Mr. Shaar was also aiming at oneself with his finger while referring to the river and finally realized that – there was no privileged exception for him.
There are many legends that use a rhetoric to describe the bloody scene after a massacre as: rivers of blood……
When a crowd of goblins took a bath, it could achieve the same effect!
This group of goblins who had never taken a bath in their lifetime, fooled around in the river for half the morning and did not want to come up again. Shaar had to take his axe, walk to the shore and smash the head of the first fellow who came close enough to make them come out – of course, what Shaar used was the back of his axe.
After half the morning was gone, the goblins had lost several layers of their skin……
The frightening thing was, the color of the river water and a good length of the shore turned into a type of daunting black that would scare people away……
“Fortunately, we walked upstream……Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to drink the water even if someone threatened to kill me.” Shaar nervously patted his chest.
The Pitiful Creature was already hiding in the distance…… Looking at a crowd of naked male goblins taking a bath, was more than what someone like her could handle.
When Shaar walked towards the Pitiful Creature, at that moment, she was redressing her wounded legs.
“Hey.” Shaar suddenly opened his mouth and looked at the Pitiful Creature with an arrogant look: “I need to ask you something.”
“What?” The Pitiful Creature subconsciously stopped her hand movements and quickly put down the trouser legs over her legs.
“Who is Adeline?”
The Pitiful Creature’s body suddenly trembled and she stared at Shaar with incredible big round eyes!
Shaar touched his chin and carefully examined the Pitiful Creature: “Hey, did you know? You have a habit of talking in your sleep. When I awoke last night from that crowd of death eater’s strange noise, I could hear you speaking.”
