章節 363: The ruins

Abnormals were supposed to be abnormally strong. The old man had said as much. Even in his glory days he barely won against one. But the old man went into a goblin's nest alone, killed all of them, and then dealt with the Abnormal, so I guess he was just being modest. 

But with the numbers, we saw in the nest and the number of Abnormals, it was only natural this girl would be concerned. But I guess she had the misunderstanding that I bargained out of there, rather than just letting them go instead. 

"Don't worry about it. I had a bargaining chip."

Which meant, I didn't have to go out of my way to make up lies and convince her. 

"You mean, that pink goblin?"

"Yeah."

It was more like either they'd tell me what I wanted to know or get eradicated but oh well. 

The girl exhaled and stood up. "Just a bit further and we'd reach the ruins." She still breathed a bit fast. "Sometimes I'm really jealous of the stamina of you guys."
