Chapter 273: Equipnt Update and Familiars I (3/3)
There was a wide open area up ahead where the cliffs have been cleanly hollowed out. It was as if a teor had fallen here to form a crater. It was big enough that you could celebrate sports day here if you wanted.
“It’s a lot bigger than I was expecting. It seems to have been maintained to so extent too.” [Ryouma]
“The knights use this place for training and for camp. This place isn’t under anyone’s administration, but it gets used several tis a year, so it looks like it’s being maintained.
In the first place, Trelle Canyon used to be a giant magic testing ground, and even the Town of Departed Spirits that we’re headed to was constructed to serve as a prison and an execution ground. So there are plenty of places here that have indeed been touched by humans.” [Schieber]
“I see… By the way, can I take out my familiars too? I make it a habit to bring them out of my Dinsion Ho regularly, and I can also get them to prepare lunch while we discuss my armor.” [Ryouma]
“I don’t mind. I’m sure even monsters don’t appreciate being stuffed into a room all the ti.” [Schieber]
The other three agreed too, so I opened my Dinsion Ho and called out to my familiars. They’ve eaten outside plenty of tis already, so they should be able to get out quickly. The first to co out was the Emperor Scavenger Sli.
“Woah!?” [Schieber]
“W-What is that?” [Remilie]
“That’s even bigger than the sli I saw before.” [Reinbach]
“As expected of you, Ryouma-sama.” [Sebasu]
Reinbach-sama and Sebasu-san knew about my slis and the big slis, so they weren’t that surprised, but Schieber-san and Remilie-san were, so I gave a simple explanation about the emperor scavenger sli.
“I did see you take a lot of slis with you before, but I can’t believe how big the emperor sli is and how many they are. 10,000 slis? That’s just…” [Schieber]
“It’s my first ti seeing one in my life too.” [Remilie]
“Big slis can rarely be spotted in the wild, but I don’t know about emperor slis. Would it be possible if there were a lot of slis?” [Remilie]
anwhile, the goblins ca out from behind the emperor scavenger sli in droves. With their neat clothes, equipnt, and the weapons and luggage they had on them, it was obvious that they were not wild goblins.
It was a sight I was all too familiar with, but the others didn’t react like they did with the emperor sli.
“Is sothing the matter?” [Ryouma]
“Well, this is also unexpected in its own way.” [Remilie]
I asked for an explanation, and Reinbach-sama was more than happy to provide it.
“The goblins are a class society. The leader of the horde rules over everything. He has priority over the food, and everyone else eats only whats left. So the lower a goblin is in the hierarchy the more emaciated he is, and the higher one is the stronger. That’s why an experienced eye can tell from a goblin’s physique how much food they have, what class the goblin is, as well as the strength of the goblin.
Most of your goblins likely multiplied under you. With how well built their physiques are, they probably have plenty of food. The relatively thinner ones should be the survivors of a subjugation job.” [Reinbach]
“It’s exactly as you’ve surmised. They eat as much as a human would. That’s a lot as far as the standards set by the Tar Guild goes, and they get nutritional supplents too for the sake of their health and physique.” [Ryouma]
Because of all the food, the goblins reproduced like rats, and stronger variants would more likely to appear too. Considering the threat, it would be safer to limit their food intake, but as their master and as compensation for the help they provided, I gave them plenty of food instead. I’ve been researching nutrient supplents as well, so I’m curious if it’ll produce any changes.
“I see, nutrient supplents… I don’t know what that is, but that hobgoblin has a physique equaling a goblin knight’s. Have they ever ignored your orders?” [Reinbach]
“Oh they’ve resisted many tis.” [Ryouma]
The first ti was about a weak after they reproduced. The new goblins beca adults in no ti, ford a faction and beca selfish. Their parents, the eight goblins that I first caught, were obedient, but the reproduction and growth rate of the goblins allowed them to outnumber and overpower them.
“It was looking like only the parent goblins could be suppressed, so I left an opening and killed them when they attacked. After that they started listening to . The one at the top of their society is currently .” [Ryouma]
“If my mory serves right, you participated in the subjugation of a large goblin nest. Add to that how you could fight Schieber on equal footing, so indeed, there’s indeed no way you would lose to so new born goblins. That’s why you decided to make them submit by force.” [Reinbach]
“Yes. I don’t know if this’ll prove that, but…” [Ryouma]
The goblins that ca out in droves seed to be interested in the people with , as they kept glancing at us. I told them not to lay a hand on the people with no matter what, and…
“Gobu!” [Goblin 1]
“Gigi!” [Goblin 2]
The goblins imdiately and simultaneously understood my order, and after nodding to and responding in their own way, they started preparing lunch. I don’t understand a lick of what they’re saying, but their conduct is easy enough to understand.
“As you can see.” [Ryouma]
“I see. You have them disciplined well.” [Reinbach]
“Yes. I’m taking care since I’ve already witnessed for myself how dangerous the speed of their reproduction from how they rebelled.” [Ryouma]
“I see… Looks like there was no need for to be worried.” [Reinbach]
“I’m grateful for your concern, Reinbach-sama.” [Ryouma]
I’m confident in my strength and I have prior experience too, so I’m alright, but if any other beginner tried to pull the sa stunt, they’d likely either lose their life or allow the goblins to flee and hurt others. It’s understandable why the guild would remind tars not to feed the goblins too much.
“I’m glad you feel that way, but you really aren’t like a child, are you? It feels like I’m talking to an adult.” [Reinbach]
Reinbach-sama seed troubled yet his words remained gentle. I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I just turned to the goblins that have started to prepare lunch.
