I walked out of the Adventurer's Guild with a serious face.
'I just lost 10 bronze coins from my hand. Even though it's less...'
One bronze coin is equal to ten cents. Sox every coin counts.
I started walking towards the forest.
The hunting ground is on the south of Habes Village and the Habes Forest is even more down towards the south.
***
I entered the Habes Forest and looked at the entrance.
'There's a path here.'
According to the guide, this path leads to the Starfall Cliff but Aaron currently doesn't have any business there.
"I have to find those goblins." Aaron said to himself.
There are some players crossing this road but they don't have any interest in me. They were wearing armour made of gold and silver.
'I can't believe that this is the first day of the game.'
The players are already hunting and earning money.
Aaron entered the forest and began searching for those goblins.
'According to the quest, the goblins are suspected of attacking the village so it means that they shouldn't be too deep inside the forest.'
After searching for two minutes around the outskirts of the forest, he finally found them. There were at least twenty of them. They hadn't seen Aaron yet.
They were small, green-skinned, yellow eyed and almost resembling a dwarf. They had a height of about four feet. They were holding wooden clubs as weapons.
I started to slowly approach them by hiding behind a bush and closing in the distance.
One of them rubbed their nose and looked straight at me.
"Kieek!...." The goblin shouted as it looked at me.
"How did it find me so fast!?" I shouted in surprise.
The goblins had a sharp sense of smell but Aaron had forgotten about it.
"No problem, I just gotta kill all of them." The goblins started to surround me slowly. There were twenty of them.
Aaron had the chance of running away from behind but he didn't do it.
'I should attack them before they completely surround me!'
Twelve in front, four in left and four in right.
"Ahhh!!!" I shouted as I made a wide vertical arc towards one of the right goblin's neck.
Thud!
The goblin's head fell down on the ground with a thud.
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚍 +30 𝚎𝚡𝚙. ]
"Kiekkk!!!" A goblin shouted and attacked from behind with his club.
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝 -20 𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚎. ]
This time I felt less pain than before because I had lowered the synchronisation rate.
'At this rate, I'll die!' I panicked inside my mind.
I glared at the goblins, not knowing what to do now. It's too much for me.
"Ice Crystal!" Somebody shouted.
"Kieek!!!" A goblin shouted as a sharp crystal of ice penetrated his stomach.
The goblin tried to pull out the crystal but it was to no avail. He soon dropped down and then disappeared.
I looked at the person who had just helped me.
'It's the ice mage from before!'
"Thanks for the help." I said with surprise as she walked towards me.
"I was on my way to complete my quest but you looked like you were in need of help." She said as she started casting more ice crystals.
"Kiekk!!!" The goblins on the left charged towards her with their clubs raised.
"You all look desperate now!" I shouted as I managed to slash four goblins with a single slash.
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚍 +30 𝚎𝚡𝚙. ]
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚍 +30 𝚎𝚡𝚙. ]
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚍 +30 𝚎𝚡𝚙. ]
[ 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚍 +30 𝚎𝚡𝚙. ]
"Hah! It looks quite easy now!" I shouted.
She casted three more ice crystals and it pierced the goblin's face as it was nothing.
"You can take it as my thanks for giving me that quest, maybe." She said.
'For that quest? That quest is like a total scam! It gives you 10 copper for 50 herbs.'
"Take 10 more copper from me afterwards it kinda makes me feel bad if I don't." I said.
