The Ruin Raiding Goblins

After flying for a while, Kathe said,

“I can see it now . ”

“It’s very quick when you fly . ”

“Of course it is!”

It really felt like we had barely been flying at all .

But it would have been over an hour on foot .

Dragons were very fast .

Kathe landed lightly on the ground .

And so we got off of the dragon’s back and onto the ground as well .

“It is over there . ”

“Where?”

Kathe stood behind me but our faces were now aligned .

They were aligned, but the dragon’s head was about as tall as I was .

So Kathe’s jaw was touching the ground .

I suppose it was so our eyes would be level .

“Can you see it, Locke? There is a cave over there . ”

“Hmm . I can see it . So that’s the ruin that is overrun by goblins?”

“That is right . These goblins are so bold!”

Kathe was breathing hoarsely .

And since we were very close, it was very loud .

When I inspected the entrance to the ruins, I could see that there were two goblins .

“Yes, there are goblins . ”

“See? I thought they were goblins as well . But I wanted to make sure that they weren’t actually humans . ”

Kathe was not confident on this issue of telling us apart .

After all, Kathe had mistaken us for goblins the last time .

“So that’s why you called me?”

“Yes, that is why . ”

Kathe said smugly .

“I came here because the intruder detection spell was triggered . And then I saw these goblin-like creatures and was about to burn them away…”

“But then you remembered our promise?”

“Exactly! Exactly right . ”

“Thank you for keeping it . ”

“Gahahahaha! I happen to have a strong sense of duty!”

I called over Nia and Grulf .

Grulf had calmed down considerably . But he was still shaking .

“Grulf, are you alright?”

“Grr . ”

Still, there was little cheerfulness in his voice .

But he was still a pup, after all .

“Nia . Can you see it?”

“Yes . I can see . There are two goblins . ”

Nia was calm now .

She wasn’t shaking or clamping her tail between her legs .

Perhaps riding the dragon had helped her become accustomed to it .

It was only a moment ago that she had been on top of the gigantic Kathe while also being up high and moving at a great speed .

So being on the ground again was nothing .

“Nia . How many goblins do you think are in that ruin?”

“Let me see…”

Nia began to think hard .

I decided to quietly wait until she was finished .

Kathe looked on as if this was most amusing .

“It’s too far to say for sure…but I can see two watchers . ”

“And?”

“The fact that there are watchers suggests there might be a leader, such as a hob goblin or goblin magician…”

“Hmmm . ”

I told her to continue .

“I think there might be ten or twenty inside . ”

“Wonderful . ”

“Th-thank you . ”

Nia’s tail wagged slowly .

“Of course, it’s possible that there are less than five in all or that the two guards are the only ones . ”

“Yes . ”

“However, that is just an optimistic guess . As an Adventurer, its best to expect the worst . ”

I said admiringly and patted her on the head .

Kathe watched this exchange with a curious expression .

“You humans do think about a lot of things . ”

“Humans are much weaker than dragons . We have to think or we will die easily . ”

“Gahahahaha! But you are stronger than me, Locke . ”

Kathe was in a good mood . A sharp contrast to Grulf, who was still hiding behind me .

“Well, now that we know they are goblins, let us burn them out . ”

“Wait a second . ”

“Hm? Is there something else?”

“There is still a possibility of humans being inside . ”

“Hm? You mean humans who are in league with the goblins?”

“No, I mean humans that were captured by the goblins . ”

“I did not know that such things happened . ”

Goblins ate people .

And so the chance of there being living captives was quite low .

“I’ll go and explore the ruins with Nia and Grulf…”

“Huh?”

Nia looked surprised .

“Oh? If you don’t want to, you could stay outside with Kathe?”

“No, I was just surprised . I will definitely go with you . ”

“I see . ”

“I would like to go too . ”

“Hmm . You’re too big, Kathe . ”

“But it is a dragon ruin, so it is big inside, you know?”

“That’s true… But I want you to wait by the entrance and kill any goblins that try to escape . ”

“I see . That is an important job, yes . ”

Kathe was satisfied by this .

“What about you, Grulf? Do you want to wait outside?”

“Grr-grrr . ”

Grulf growled weakly . Then he lifted both paws towards my hand .

He would rather hunt goblins then stay with Kathe .

“Alright . Let’s go then . ”

And so I told Nia and Grulf what we would do .

We wouldn’t be able to talk once we got close, so we needed to prepare in advance .

After that, we approached the ruins . Nia and I would kill a goblin each .

It was important that we did not let them scream while we did it .

When that was finished, we would go inside of the ruins, and Nia and Grulf would follow after me .

This would be good stealth training for Nia .

Even for a Warrior, stealth training was important in becoming a first-rate Adventurer .

It would be completely ridiculous if you couldn’t even hide from mere goblins .

I had told her that before we began .

And so she quietly approached and jumped at the goblin at the perfect distance . And then she thrust her sword into its neck .

I killed my own goblin at the same time .

I nodded approvingly to her and then we stepped foot into the ruins .
