Day 61- today the boys are going on a trip towards the elven territory that I marked previously, the group was interested in their agriculture and their construction ability to make homes in the trees. After speaking with zest I was able to learn the lizardmens clay working skills that they use to improve their cave systems.
I relayed that information to hobue who was delighted, the rest of her day was spent learning water magic so she could combine it with earth magic to make mud and clay variants. I also explained the importance of archways that help prevent cave ins so we went and chopped some wood and had the blacksmith girl help construct them.
Continuing are trek to their territory we came across some camouflaged humans making their way towards a ritual site where the elven princess was asking a nature goddess to bless the land.
We goblins may not be heavy fruit eaters but we still benefit from the land, if our prey is well fed they grow bigger and tastier therefore we can't allow the humans to ruin it. Rou used some doflamingo tricks to place his wires on the humans and learned their plan. Including a very unique tidbit about how theirs a traitor amongst the elves.
Personally I can't stand backstabbers and turncoats, they lack the brain to realise that they die once their use is over yet they seem to be everywhere. Rou has been taking measures to prevent this using a reward and punishment system which inspires both loyalty and fear. It's basic yet effective, I just hope we don't end up making some nobility system down the line. I'd despise having young masters as descendants.
The elven princesses palanquin passed through showing her beauty off to the world, the humans chucked a smoke grenade of some kind then slaughtered the other elves in the mist. After they Bill Cosby'd the girl we stepped in and captured them.
We dragged the bodies of the humans back so Rou can give a DIY torture and interrogation tutorial.
Day 62- the humans were squealers, we learned that within 20 days their armies will approach to take the forest, it has plenty of resources and strategical value according to the leader of the assassins. They also wanted some miracle drug cause their royalty is sick.
After sampling a few assassins I got {increased pain resistance, seduction and charm resistance, brainwash resistance and assassin sensing}. Most are self explanatory except for the last, it allows me to sense an assassin when their nearby or when an assassination is going to take place.
The princess also awoke with a resounding "KYAA!!!!!" After spotting Rou, she thought he was going to assault her. He probably will in the future to be honest. She needed to calm down and refused to drink the calming herbal tea so I took matters into my own hands. I went for my private stash and whipped out a joint I confiscated from the humans who attacked velvets dungeon.
A little fire mana to light and some earth mana to enhance flavour. I took a quick puff to sample before blowing rings in her face. When she started coding I stuck the bud between her lips and she inhaled on reflex. The next forty minutes were a trip for the both of us. Now she pesters next for more of "Gaia's blessing".
Rou explained the situation to her and the weed stopped her from having a panic attack about their being a traitor amongst her people. After the talk finished she got the munchies so we fed her and put her to bed.
Day 63-
We walked her back to the elven territory and were greeted with hundreds of arrows aimed at us. I could deflect them or even knock them back but Rou wanted to hold our cards. A show of absolute strength can inspire faith in allies and fear in enemies. They haven't joined yet so showing off could have the opposite effect. Plus theirs retards like that guy who led the elves to attack us before.
The princess spoke up for us so we got to go into their treehouses. I would have killed for this when I was a kid in my past life. They even have slides?!?! Princess took us into her fathers tree hut, when I saw the old guy with a scraggly beard I couldn't help but project the image of a Wookiee over him for a second. Hairy and lives in trees, also I saw some elves with crossbows earlier which kinda added to my assumption.
He thanked us for saving his daughter, Rou then discussed business terms with him. We got a magic bow as compensation and started trading our services in exchange for booze and fruits. Not a bad deal, after that Rou gave the elven king a manly handshake showing that we're bros now.
On the way back I sampled some of their spirits and wine, by the time we returned to the cave I was drunk so the girls took me to bed.
Day 64- I was awoken by girlish squeals, when I sat up I found that Sato had evolved into a half blood lord. I looked around and was shocked to find that all the girls had reached the third level. Sei was already a half spell lord but now the tiger three reached theirs too. Sato is a half blood lord, Chi is an ogre and Rin is a half saintess lord. The elven girls also got their wings for some reason?
I was happy that they all evolved, when i saw that their bodies were strengthened I sported a lustful grin which the girls noticed. Chi and Sato tackled me back into the bed to kick off our morning activities. Three hours later the door to our room opened releasing a musk scented of sex and sweat. The girls had changed into clothes that would better suit their new forms. Chi was larger and her breasts are the biggest in the community, she could give Rangiku a run for her money.
Gobumi and Hobue also evolved with the first becoming a dhampir variant and the latter becoming a half earth lord. Gobumi had the biggest changes with her becoming completely white and being forced to wear glasses which block her evil eye skills.
After getting a makeover Rou assorted the teams after several goblins evolved into hobgoblins. He also spent the rest of the day tagging the kobolts and the elves. Some of them were apprehensive off getting their ears pierced so we threatened them with spending the night with rosy the elf, people began forming an orderly que while I spent the day testing the limits of the evolved ones.
