Just like this, we came back.
"You ran away after seeing the goblins." Silph said
"Yes. We are new in this world, so we don't know how powerful those goblins are compared to us. If I go alone, there is no problem, I will somehow escape. But if they caught Sarah, you know right?" I said
"Yes, understood" Silph said
"maybe I am really a burden for you, even if I say that I have no fear of being caught, you won't put my life in danger. But don't you think that going there alone is even more risky?"
"If I won't be able to defeat them, I'll run away." I said
"If they are faster than you? they will catch you and kill you. I don't think I will have any reason to live after you die."
"You two really love each other, you should become couples if you aren't." Silph said
"Sorry but I didn't came to hear your praise here." I said
I don't love her, I'm just not allowed to love someone. Since she came in this dangerous world because of me, it's my duty to protect her.
"Then why?"
"Can you help me kill them?"
"how many goblins are there?"
"Five. As far as I know."
"Only five, I thought if you need my help, they must be at least twenty."
"Can you kill them."
"I can kill them with a single spell, but the problem is... I can't go there. We fairies are not allowed to leave without permission, it's quite a long process and will take three to four days."
"But you don't have to go there." I said confidently
"If you think you can lead the goblins here, know that they will never come to this area."
"Why?" Sarah asked
"Because the mana density here is very low, if they come here they will die. This applies to all species and races that need average mana density to survive."
Means mana here is like oxygen.
"All I can do right now is that I can teach magic to both of you, but since you are not from this world and you do not know much about mana, it'll take you a lot of time to learn it." Silph said
"How much time? I am a fast learner who can remember anything after hearing it for about 3-4 times. How many days will it take me?" I asked
"2 years."
"This is too much" I and Sarah both said in unison.
This much time is the least. Human children start learning magic from childhood and they reach the intermediate level in teens. I don't think you both will be able to learn it in lesser time." Silph said
"Sarah."
"Yeah."
"I am going for a walk, till then you keep learning magic from her." I said
"But where are you going?"
"Nature's call. Anyway I will explore the nearby places but I will be back by evening. So don't worry about me."
"Alright but I am trusting you for the last time. If you don't come back by evening then I will not trust you again. I'll follow you to the toilet too." She said.
"Hahaha. You two are really funny."
"Okay. I wasn't planning on running anyway." I said
I went to the opposite direction so that Sarah would not think that I am leaving her. Ahead I found many monsters. Slimes, rabbit-like monsters, squirrel-like monsters, there were many bug-like monsters too. Come to think of it, I should not call them monsters. Their structure is different from the animals on earth but they are all animals.
My strength is still the same as it was in my world. Now the thing to note is that every level will me more powerful.
"Let's start working now."
I broke a branch from the tree and made a stick out of it, of course, to attack. After that, I killed as many animals as I could. I was getting at least 1 exp for killing each animal. In the meantime, I leveled up twice. Now my level should be 3, assuming my level was 1 at the start.
There is a lot of variation in these animals, I don't know whether to call them animals, monsters or plants, finally I decided that I will call them monsters.
There were many plant monsters here which had trapped other monsters in their vines. I didn't go near them, it may happen that they catch me too. Dying once is enough for me, I have no interest in dying again.
I also saw some balloon-like monsters here, but since they are balloon-like, it would be good if I killed them with some sharp object.
There were some other monsters here too, they were looking like some kind of eggs with eyes on them. most of the egg-like monsters were broken and some had cracks on them, both of the types were looking very bad, but since it was easy to kill them, I killed all of them one by one. How wicked I am.
"It's evening already, I don't feel I should roam around." I said to myself
I started going back in the same direction from where I had come.
I don't know what those two are doing right now, I hope Sarah isn't doing anything stupid.
I've come 500-600 meters away. my sense of direction is good but even then, I marked the route by breaking the branches of trees or shrubs along the way so that I could return under any circumstances because if I got lost then game over.
I found many small structures but none of them resembled any living creature. The colours of leaves here is very different, from black to golden, silver and some were even rainbow coloured.
I need to hurry up or else they will start looking for me.
I have noticed that all my senses have become better than before, this is maybe because of the level going up. My stats are increasing very less but I can't complain since I'm killing the weakest monsters. When my level increases, I will start hunting for strong monsters.
After walking for 10 minutes I reached there.
