Pino's departure at night didn't leave much trouble, it only took him a moment to reach the city limits.
A beautiful village with thick trees that protect the housing section. A natural wall, the lush trees make the atmosphere in the village seem lonely though it's thrilling too.
Pino entered the village at noon after an overnight journey, some of the visitors brought carts, but most of them were just walking.
Cleaning the fields around the house, you can see the residents working together with one another.
"Huem Village, calm and seem to have no disturbance. The Goblin's Nest should not be far from this place, and seeing this peaceful atmosphere, is it possible that the nest has already disappeared?" Pino entered the village and observed it.
Some houses that look like are neatly lined up, there are fields around the house, although they are not large.
Pino approached one of the villagers, an old man who seemed to have a lot of experience sitting relaxed in a chair.
"Is this really Huem Village?" asked Pino, his closed appearance made him look suspicious, taking off his head covering, Pino showed his quite handsome face and long hair.
"Yes, you're not wrong. This place is indeed Huem Village, it looks like you are not from around here. Can I help you?" asked the old man, he saw a young man who was quite handsome, his tall and sturdy body made him look intimidating.
"Thank goodness, I thought I got lost. Some time ago, I heard of a horde of monsters at the city limits, and what I was with the horde around the Huem Village area. I came here to check it out, but why does everything seem peaceful and ordinary, as if -I think the news is just a breeze, "exclaimed Pino.
Without clear instructions, he could only make up the story according to what he knew. The goblins making nests at the city limits, how could he possibly say that clearly.
"Monsters? What do you mean, you saw it yourself didn't you, this place is so peaceful and serene, with lush trees protecting the village, how could there be monsters around here," said the old man, his condescending voice sounded unpleasant to Pino. .
Unfortunately, Pino also knew that the old man's confidence was supported by the village's terrain which was quite closed and had natural walls in the form of lush trees.
However, when looking at and thinking about the state of the village, especially the terrain, Pino couldn't rule out that there was a potential that he didn't want to think more about.
"Are you sure? Monsters could come here and mess this village up, don't you think about it?" asked Pino.
The old man shook his head and chuckled, "Young man, whatever your purpose in coming here, but I can say it's useless. It's not that I boast about the strength of this village, but how many monster attacks have happened here? Nothing happened, they were. , the monsters can't break through the village's defenses. "
"I see, because of this defense, the village remains calm and peaceful. Then, do you know where I can find monsters in this area?" Pino asked, with the village's good defense, it did look difficult for monsters to enter.
"Not far away, you can go there, the monsters there are only low level, maybe you can get money after finishing him. At least you will not lose after arriving here." Pointing in one direction, the old man moved from his place and left Pino.
Pino rushed out of the village and went in the direction the old man was pointing, as fast as he could go to that place, there he saw trees and several large stones, covering and complementing each other. The dense trees did make the place look dense, at a glance Pino could see movement in the bushes.
Examining the moving bush, Pino saw a trace of movement from a monster. "This place, is quite far from the village and I just got to find it. This is indeed a Goblin trail, where is it headed?"
Pino followed the trail of the monster, through the lush trees and further away from the village, Pino continued to follow him, occasionally he observed his surroundings. Not letting down his guard, Pino used the Detect of Life he had learned from Poorstag.
"One ... two ... no, there are five Goblins !!! Small group, they are not far from here, I should hurry and see what they are doing. Maybe I can find where they are !!!"
"It's rare for Goblins to be active in the afternoon, usually they will be active at night and morning, in the afternoon and evening, they won't be active. According to some people who have fought Goblins, if they have a large group, they must have one leader who tough at least the Chief Goblin or the Goblin King. Now, I can see that, maybe. " Pino followed the trail quickly, he used Acceleration magic.
His speed increased sharply, the lush trees didn't hold him back. When passing a large and tall tree, Pino saw the five goblins he was chasing carrying a rabbit-shaped monster with horns.
"Five Goblins, they brought their prey, I can't hurry. They will definitely return to their lair, I have to follow them," said Pino.
Luckily his body was much more athletic than other magician, so he could climb up a tree and then he swiftly jumped into another tree. The movement is quite quiet.
Watching the five Goblins who continued to walk back to their nest quietly, Pino felt itching to move and attack them. His eyes stared hard and he didn't take his attention for a moment from the Goblins who were constantly moving.
Passing through a large rock and surrounded by dense trees and bushes, the Goblins entered one side of the trees.
"Oh ... how interesting, is there your hiding place? Well hidden, let's see what you have !!" Pino followed them slowly and carefully.
He tried his best not to arouse suspicion in the Goblins. Slowly, his eyes turned to the buildings that were behind the thick trees and the many bushes.
"What is here is really unpredictable. They occupy an empty settlement, this is no longer a small group but already large, there should be a Goblin Chief or Mage Goblin. I have to be careful, this task is just lurking but I can be more than that, "said Pino.
He saw that there was a crowd of Goblins who brought their prey into the settlement, the numbers were far from being few, Pino immediately hid in one of the trees and watched the Goblins.
