'Why?'
'And with whom did she go?'
'Is he soone that she can trust?'
'Or is he soone that will just trick her, betray her and then harm her?', there were tons of thoughts that were popping up in Shin's mind.
Although he was strong himself and knew how strong Aella was, he was still concerned about her. He might have been overprotective - that's what he thought initially - but that was not the case.
It was sothing that one would definitely worry about after all she was hurt badly earlier.
"Who?"
"With whom did she go?", Shin asked impatiently.
His head was throbbing and his blood pressure rose sharply. He felt as if his heart would pop out of his mouth at any mont.
"Uh, master, it would be better if we talk inside." - was what the goblin mage suggested.
Shin's breathing was irregular, perhaps the mage noticed because of which he said this in order to calm him down.
However, Shin wasn't ready to do anything that the goblins said. All he wanted was info on Aella and her safety.
"Just tell already!"
"Who!?"
"With whom did she go?"
The goblins thought that it was wise to answer first because that would calm him down, for the mont at least.
"We aren't sure master but she went with another wolf, a big black wolf!", said another goblin mage.
"A big black wolf?", Shin repeated softly.
When he heard that, suddenly an image flashed in front of his eyes. A few monts earlier, he had encountered a black wolf - perhaps could they be talking about him?
Shin really had no idea if it was the sa wolf or not, but he knew now that Aella had followed so black wolf. This was much more of a concerning matter to him.
This is because - as was ntioned earlier - the color of a wolf symbolizes its strength.
The black wolves are believed to be the strongest out of all while the white is believed to be the weakest, so there would be absolutely no reason for a black wolf to accompany a white one!
The world revolved around the principle of - survival of the fittest and stronger are kings and free while weaker are slaves - that was how this world worked.
So definitely, that would be applied to all if not most of the beasts, and based on this, it was a concerning matter.
"But master, you need not worry."
"Master Black wolf is a good person who kept saving us from Trolls and I think he will take good care of Miss Aella." - was what the goblin mages said.
'Am I overthinking?', Shin asked himself.
While the goblins seed completely fine, he thought that he was just panicking too much.
According to the system, Aella was fine so he had nothing to worry about, but then again, thoughts didn't stop from pestering him.
It sure was a pressing matter so Shin decided to go and check for himself.
"Where?"
"Which way did they go?", he asked.
The goblins looked at each other and said, "They went that way, but will you leave us and go?"
They pointed towards the direction which lead to a 'Human Kingdom'.
'Ugh...'
Although Shin wanted to leave imdiately after they pointed it out, he couldn't. Their puppy-like teary eyes made him stay there for a few more minutes to hear their concern and help them, after all, they helped him too.
"Sigh, tell , what do you need to do?"
The goblins looked at each other and smiled as if they were victories. Of course, they succeeded in asking for help and it was no big thing because they basically begged!
"Revenge!"
"What we want is revenge!", the goblin mages replied.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
The other goblins started repeating this as if it was so chant. Shin heard this and was confused.
're goblins want revenge?'
'But revenge against whom?', now that was a question which was worthy enough to be pondered about.
"Why do you want revenge and against whom?", Shin asked.
"The humans..."
"We want revenge against the humans!", the goblin mages said.
"Humans! Humans! Hu...", the chant changed to this.
'Huh?'
'Now that I think about it, they ntioned sothing similar a while ago...'
"The humans invaded and took away our lands!"
"We want to kill them!", said the goblins.
Shin had a weird expression on his face at the mont. He was surprised to think that the goblins could plan and want revenge after all they were the lowest of most monster forms and were hunted almost regularly.
"Humans..."
"Wiping our village!"
"We... stop them!"
"Revenge!"
Now so other goblins ca forward and started to speak their minds. Since their intelligence stat was not that high, they couldn't exactly make a proper structure but it was enough to convey the aning.
The goblins were pointing towards the kingdom that was to the south. Yes, it was the sa direction where they had pointed earlier when Shin had asked about Aella and the black wolf.
"I see...", but Shin wasn't confident enough to defeat the humans.
He was a little pup after all and with his strength, although he could kill many, he couldn't possibly go against an entire nation!
Shin thought that it was in his best interest to reject their plea. He knew that nothing good would co with playing with a nation of humans since humans dominated a major part of the continent!
So, he was going to reject their offer when suddenly, a notification popped up which forced him to say otherwise.
"Fine, I will do it!" - he said.
