Chapter 43 - 43: 043 Goblin Warrior Candidate
Within the Goblin Forest instance, in the Mixed Fish Tribe.
Dean McKenzie finished talking.
He made his preparations, ready for the Goblins to either accept or rebel. Unexpectedly, these run-of-the-mill Goblins gave Dean McKenzie a surprise third answer.
With a “whoosh”, the entire Goblin tribe suddenly started escaping in unison. Each one unhesitatingly fled the area.
This left Dean McKenzie stunned.
The goblin elder from Strong Grass Tribe reacted quickly: “Quick, stop them!” Under the instruction of the old Goblin, the Goblins of the Strong Grass Tribe were about to intercept, but then Dean McKenzie’s voice rang out.
“No need, they’ve made their choice, we have to respect their decision!”
The elder panicked upon hearing this.
Respect their decision? If respected, these fellows were going to run away completely.
The Goblin elder’s anxious sentence was interrupted before being fully spoken. “Since they’ve run, let’s kill them all!”
While Dean McKenzie was speaking, the two Skeletons beneath him bolted, Doggy Two s Wolf Tooth Club and Doggy Three’s broadsword were swung, starting the slaughter.
As Dean McKenzie raised his hand, a Bone Fang flew out, penetrating several dozen meters, killing several Goblins.
This burst of action from Dean McKenzie terrified the Goblins of the Mixed Fish Tribe.
The escaping Goblins stopped instantly, trembling as they lay down with their hands in the air.
In the end, out of over three hundred Goblins in the Mixed Fish Tribe, only a few dozen escaped and a few dozen were killed by Dean McKenzie.
The remaining two hundred all chose to surrender.
Almost simultaneously as Dean McKenzie finished this wave, system prompts refreshed before his eyes.
[You have successfully used the[Low-level Lord Template], you have obtained the[Goblin Lord]template!]
[You have obtained the[Goblin Lord Template], Intimidation against Goblins increased by 1!]
With these two system refreshes, Dean McKenzie’s image in all the Goblins’ eyes changed.
Naturally, there’s a kind of majesty that makes people unwilling to infringe on. Even though the short Goblin elder looked at Dean McKenzie in a daze and with pride, he also did not dare to call out to his son loudly.
At this time, Dean McKenzie’s attention also landed on this elder.
He activated the Appraisal Skill, the elder’s attributes appeared before his eyes.
Name: Ashton Blackweed (Elite) (Goblin Priest)
Level: 18
Status: Elder of the Strong Grass Goblin Tribe, your adoptive father
Attributes:
Strength: 1, Agility: 1.2, Physique: 1.5, Spirit: 19
Skill: ???
Equipment: ???
The level 1 Appraisal Skill could only identify some basic information.
While Dean McKenzie looked at the Goblin elder, the elder also gazed at him.
Their eyes met, and the emotion revealed by the old man startled Dean McKenzie.
His old eyes filled with surprise and anxiety.
It seemed like he couldn’t believe that the human son he raised was standing before him.
‘These characters are too lifelike!’
In just one glance, Dean McKenzie couldn’t view this old man as an emotionless NPC.
After that, Dean McKenzie found out.
Not just this old man, but almost all the Goblins from Strong Grass Tribe, even the ones from Mixed Fish Tribe, were different from the Goblins outside in the Goblin Forest.
Dean McKenzie could clearly feel their emotions.
They can worship, laugh, cry, and fear; they seem no different from real humans.
This made Dean McKenzie look at the goblin corpses scattered on the ground, and for a moment, guilt surged up in his heart.
Scared, Dean McKenzie quickly used extraction on the body of the goblin chief.
[You successfully used Talent [Extraction] on the [Mixed Grass Goblin] chief, you gained 1 point of strength, and a fragment of a Low-Level Lord.
This system notification brought Dean McKenzie out of his previous state.
But he still felt somewhat flustered.
“Isn’t it just a game? Is it really necessary to make it so realistic?”
As Dean McKenzie was feeling annoyed, the old man by his side cautiously approached.
“Son…”
Dean McKenzie subconsciously got angry: “Who are you calling son? Who are
you taking advantage of? I’m your father!”
The little old man was scared silly.
His face turned white, his body trembled, and he looked at Dean McKenzie pitifully and whimpered: “Dad?”
Looking at the little old man like this, Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but soften his heart.
“I didn’t mean it like that, I mean, I’m the chief now, you should still call me chief in front of others, I’ll call you old Black, we call each other by our names!” Feeling the kindness in Dean McKenzie’s words, the little old man was overjoyed and pitifully agreed: “Yes, yes, yes, the chief should have the prestige of a chief, I won’t call you that anymore!”
“You first help me clean up the mess left here, also, arrange for someone who
is familiar with the surroundings to show me around.”
Since he didn’t know how to face this sudden old man who claimed to be his father.
Especially since he was such a pitiful little old man, Dean McKenzie gave the old man a task to do to get him out of his sight.
The little old man didn’t feel slighted and happily went to work.
Soon, a robust female goblin came sashaying over to Dean McKenzie.
“Goggo!”
She had a rugged voice that nearly ruptured Dean McKenzie’s eardrums.
At the same time, the information of this female goblin also appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Name: Strong Grass (Elite Template) (Goblin Warrior Candidate)
Level: 11
Attributes:
Strength: 15, Agility: 5, Physique: 5 points
Skill:???
Equipment:???
Description: The daughter of the chief of the Mixed Grass Goblin tribe, she has grown up with you and vowed to marry only you. She has tried several times to consummate your relationship.
Ps: If she can complete her inheritance, her quality can be upgraded to Excellent Quality.
Looking at these attributes, Dean McKenzie’s face turned somewhat ugly.
“I feel like something is off about this game. This kind of plot is truly unnecessary. I’m just here to farm monsters.
There’s no need to arrange an in-game partner for me!”
Staring at the female goblin standing before him, filled with adoration and awkwardly feminine, Dean McKenzie is starting to question life itself.
Only because her template can be upgraded to Excellent Quality that Dean McKenzie decided to nurture her in hopes of obtaining an Excellent Quality fragment, otherwise he would have gotten rid of her.
After mentally reorienting himself, Dean McKenzie finally said to the female goblin, “Let’s go, show me around.”
The female goblin’s eyes instantly lighted up with excitement, “Is this what humans call a date…”
“Pu!”
A Bone Fang zipped by her ear to cut her sentence short.
“I don’t consider weak females. I have absolutely no interest in your current, weak state!”
Dean McKenzie said, striding forward and leaving the goblin standing there dazedly. She flushed and followed him after a while….
