Arriving in front of a large castle Xen was slightly shocked as the castle was able to fit inside of the walls with more than enough space to the extent that one would think there was spatial magic involved but there was no trace of such a thing.
'So it's not going to be easy huh? A large castle..' Xen's chest tightened at the anger he was withholding. He really wasn't much of a people person.
"Young Master, go speak to your father to receive your reward for your mission. Not only defeating those disgusting goblins but also defeating the Worm Queen! Truly an astonishing prodigy you are! They don't call you the Goblin Slayer for no reason!" The short butler let out a dry laugh which was slightly comical due to his chest becoming bigger with his height being small.
Xen was unsure of where to go. He had assumed the butler would show him to at least the door of the room, but it turned out to have come to this.
'Thinking logically the strongest person in the area should be the leader, with that I shall just extend my mana throughout the area to search for him. I should be careful with my mana but the advantage of having these resources is much more than a few less mouthfuls of blood.' Xen focused his mana onto his mind and sent out waves of mana that reflected once they hit a person, details regarding their body, health, and mana were sent back to Xen's brain telling him instantly who his father was.
Xen walked until he entered the room, he tidied himself up as he hadn't even noticed he was now wearing human armor.
'I hope he doesn't have a stick up his ass..' Xen sighed out of stress and habit.
He opened the door to the room and his eyes met with his father who was in a grand room, it was large and had the air and dignity the rooms royalty had.
His father wasn't anything to be surprised about, he was a largely muscled old man with clearly expensive clothes that adorned his facial features.
"Ah! Ken! My dear son, it is so great to see you! Your exploits has reached quite far into the city, if it wasn't for you, our family would still be slaving away for the king!" The old man got up and started to walk towards Xen and then reached his arms out for a hug.
Xen cringed but reluctantly hugged the man who seemed to be slightly sweaty.
"Yes father, I have come back from my mission!" Xen smiled, due to his experience with all sorts of scenarios he was confident he could play his role correctly.
"Slaying those dirty disgusting goblins all day must be taking a toll on you.. you should relax and hang out with the your fiance sometime! I'm sure she misses you in more ways than one! Hahaha" The old man began to chuckle away at his own joke even though the atmosphere in the room became slightly awkward.
Xen flinched at the derogatory remarks towards his race. 'Not all goblins are like that! I assure you!'
"I'll be sure to pay her a visit!" Xen stared at the old man as if expecting something.
The man's eyes widened as if he had just realized something.
"Ah.. my apologies, the reward I promised! Here's one potion of the Top Tier Aphrodisiac that is only available out of the country!" The man raised his eyebrows and winked at Xen as if it was a treasure causing Xen to become impatient but didn't let it show on his face.
The man then took out something else from his pocket. "And here are the 100 gold coins you've earned!"
Xen smiled at this with genuine emotion. This amount enabled him to be able to start a business if he truly wanted to.
"Now, go see that girl of yours!" The man shouted with a smile and shortly whispered this after " Don't forget your first prize.. hehe you're welcome!"
Xen rolled his eyes and left the room after bowing.
'Now to find this fiance of mine..'
