章節 15: Chapter 15 - Goblin City

The rest of the guild's interior was mainly empty, though. That was helpful since Zack wouldn't waste his time. In any case, the receptionist, this time, was a blond woman with blue eyes. She was quite pretty and showed Zack a beautiful, clean smile.

"How can I help you?"

"... I would like to go to the goblins' territory," Zack replied.

Zack had a hard time not looking suspicious at her. The reason for that was the fact that the entire society moved around the hunters. It was rare for people not to awaken traits, but those who didn't have them were basically treated like air. Amanda was the only person who treated Zack well for the last entire year well, and he always wondered the reason for that. People who didn't have traits were almost about to become slaves to other hunters. Such was the feeling among the masses.

In any case, Zack had the feeling that the woman knew who he was… he didn't think that any guild had any reason to share information about him, so the receptionist probably had a skill that allowed her to see Zack's parameters… it was the only explanation.

The cost to head there was three thousand credits, so Zack readily paid it, and the receptionist began to guide him to one of the teleportation rooms. He thought that she would keep her distance since she could tell that Zack had noticed something off with her, but his guess was wrong.

"This Territory isn't visited that often, so the number of goblins should be pretty hard. Goblins are also pretty methodical, so I would advise you to always keep your guard up. Speaking of which, now and then, at irregular periods of time, the goblins might fight each other, and the goblin king emerges, so one could be there already."

"I see."

Zack had heard tales of the Goblin King, a creature with the power to command legions of goblins and bend them to its will. The Goblin King was not just another monster; it was a formidable enemy, possessing both cunning intelligence and formidable strength.

One of the most feared abilities of the Goblin King was its skill in controlling other goblins. With a single command, it could rally its minions and turn them into a formidable army, each goblin fighting with enhanced strength and ferocity under its command.

Moreover, the Goblin King was rumored to possess powerful treasures, including magic weapons of great power. For Zack, who had been seeking such a weapon for some time, the prospect of facing the Goblin King held an additional allure. If he could defeat the creature and claim its treasure, he might finally obtain the weapon he had been searching for.

Before long, Zack arrived in the teleportation room and entered the magic circle. The receptionist nodded at the mages, who activated the magic circle. Immediately, Zack appeared in the middle of the monster's Territory, and three goblins jumped to attack him with stone axes.

Fortunately, Zack had his hands in his pockets with some nails in there, and he quickly used Auto Aim and blinded them with the nails. In the next moment, they hit the air with their weapons, and Zack walked behind them and targeted their necks with other nails. Just like that, they were disposed of.

(You received 30 XP.)

"Just a bit more, huh?" Zack thought when the monsters fell on the ground.

Without wasting time, Zack grabbed the stone axes and then looked around. He was surprised to see that the Territory didn't have much rubble or piles of trash. He even could see the asphalt of the streets. When he looked at the center of the city, he could see that the goblins had recovered everything that they could recover and fixed what could have been fixed with some oddity, and they were using the place like an actual goblin city.

"Well, this is surprising," Zack thought.

The goblins, towering over the average human, stood as formidable adversaries on the battlefield. While they were not giants, their size and strength still made them a force to be reckoned with.

In terms of power level, goblins were estimated to be around level twenty. This placed them well above the average human but not so high that they were unbeatable. They were skilled fighters with a good balance of offense and defense, making them challenging opponents for hunters of all levels. The ones that Zack killed only had a single piece of rags covering their waists. It didn't seem like they wanted much protection on their bodies.

"Things seem peaceful enough here… I wonder if the goblin king is around," Zack thought. "In any case, making money here will be a bit difficult since their parts can't be used."

To make money there, Zack will have to find relics of the past and sell them to the guild, as well as other tools or special weapons that the goblins might have. Those shouldn't be hard to find since Zack could see some tall walls in the distance… they were all made of logs and built by the goblins.

"Well, time for the hunt," Zack thought. "Even if I don't make much money here, as long as I level up, everything will be fine."
