Chapter 38 I will take you down with me

Translator: Tchu

Tatara sympathized with the angry goblin a lot. Even as a human, your wife going missing was something a man would not be able to tolerate.

However, this goblin feudal lord’s brain was probably going mad from anger and unexpectedly suspected that his princess was abducted by a human caravan. He claimed that his princess was the most beautiful amongst goblins……

All the humans became very angry – this was too unreasonable!!

His princess was the most beautiful amongst goblins?! Even if that goblin was the most beautiful fellow, from a human’s point of view, it looked nothing more than a dirty skinny animal that did not paid attention to its hygiene! Except goblins, who else would be interested in this kind of “beauty”?

Abducting a goblin? Delivering it to the slave market to sell it for money?!

Burning from anger, the goblin feudal lord did not believe them and his head was turning dangerous green. In a moment of rage, he decided to catch all the humans of the caravan and turning them into jerky!

Tatara knew just too well how those goblins treated humans they captured. Although he was thin and did not have much body fat, goblin would still make good food out of him if they caught him. Even if he would lose twice his weight, those experienced goblin would still be able to use their proud skills to produce enough fat out of his body!

Fortunately, there were an abundant number of vehicles in this caravan and also many prisoners. Using his wits, Tatara looked for an opportunity and quietly slipped away.

Fleeing alone in the wilderness, he would have eventually end up in a wolf’s mouth or encountered some hobo goblins and end up as their supper.

However, he was lucky in an unlucky situation and met some humans!

In the evening, he suddenly saw a bonfire in the wilderness and immediately concluded that a human would be near a bonfire. Although encountering human adventurers would have resulted in him having the same miserable fate, but at least it was much better than being eaten by wolves or goblins.

When the hunger and thirst plagued Tatara ran towards them, he almost mentally collapsed and went mad. Therefore he decided to take the risk!

People, who were facing a hopeless situation, would always receive a tremendous boost of courage!

Exactly that happened to Tatara at that time. Filled with anger in his heart, he turned evil from his bravery and rushed to the human camp while screaming: “Don’t move! Robbery!! Hands over all the food and water! I am a master magician!!”

His voice roared across the wilderness and the several humans near the camp were shocked by Tatara’s courage.

Several seconds later, those people suddenly burst out laughing.

“A magician? We are also magicians!”

Taking a careful look, Tatara got dumbfounded……

Sure enough, those six humans in front of him were all his peers!

What shocked Tatara the most was, from those six magicians in front of him, the lowest badge on their chest was a silver badge and there was actually someone wearing a gold badge among them!

He ……A low-level magician, actually came to rob six intermediate and an advanced magician……

Tatara instantly collapsed when he saw the opposite master holding up his magic wand. His heart which was filled with courage got instantly crushed and he knelt down while begging for mercy with his eyes and nose running. Simultaneously, he told them his pitiful and bitter tragedy.

Finally……

After hearing the tragic story of Tatara, the magician put down his magic wand and the masters looked at each other while sighing.

“Being a magician and still messing with you like that, he must have been someone abnormal.”

Since they were all magicians, even if they are currently powerful masters, in the past they were also rookies and gradually trained their magic. Seeing a rookie living such a pitifully life and even selling himself into slavery as a magician, it made those magicians drop several crocodile tears and gave birth to sympathy with their colleague.

“Alright, since you are a magician, although your strength is low, you can just follow us. Anyway, since we are here on some business, we did not bring our apprentices and we are missing a guy to do the chores.”

Feeling grateful in his heart, Tatara thought that a tiny ray of god’s blessing finally felt upon him after he went through all that bitterness.

However, he did not know that the intentions of those magicians were not really purely friendly……

Normally, if someone went to hunt a dragon would a very honorable thing. They should announce it to the public in order to increase their own fame and prestige.

However, those six magician masters actually concealed their movement making it a secret. They did not even told people close to them and came here without bringing their disciples.

Although, they could be considered masters among magicians, those six people were also well aware of their own strength. Compare to those experts from the dragons slaying legends, they were still lacking quite a lot. Since they heard that this dragon was in a weak condition, they took the risks to try. After all, if you killed a dragon, you would obtain those unobtainable top magic materials from the dragon’s body. For any magician, this was sufficiently enough to gamble with their lives!

However, this matter must be absolutely kept a secret!

Among other things, if successful, they would have let others know that they obtained those magic material from the dragon and arouse jealousy. If there was another powerful magician who envied their treasure, he could come and steal it by force – on the continent, there are few powerful people that were persistently unreasonable! They would be unable to stop them.

Therefore, this operation could only be done in secret.

Also another reason was, the name “the strongest dragonslayer”, although glorious, someone needed sufficient strength in order to claim it! If those magician masters would have reached the level of Archmage, they would have naturally done this quest openly.

The problem was that their strength was better than most, but fell short compare to the best. If such news was leaked afterwards ……trouble would continuously knock on the door!
