Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 69: First Quest (Part 3)
Hearing the name of his parents called, Issac became confused.Of course he was shocked! Mervouw tilted his head.Why was he shocked?
"do you know them, son?"
Issac scratched his head.he was confused as to how.
"Ehhh like this auntie.ah how should I say it. they are my parents. hehe...."
this time it was Mervouw who was shocked.This child..the son of Arthur Randall?
they looked at each other, then a second later, laughter broke out between them. At first they wanted to end the conversation, but because of this unexpected coincidence it was very pleasant, because, eventually they decide to spend more time deepening their bond with each other.
Their conversation felt warmer this time. Mervouw told me a lot about the youth of Issac's parents. Back then, every summer, they always played to this village. that was because this village was the residence of their favorite teacher who happened to be named Issac.
even more surprising, it turns out that Issac, the favorite teacher of his parents, is the husband of Mervouw. their teacher had once invited these three people for a summer picnic.
after being brought here by Mervouw's husband, they became addicted and decided to always go to this village if summer arrived. Hearing there is a lake, Issac so want to invite his friends to swim.
their warm talk filled with laughter finally stopped at midnight.well, this is because the elderly Mervouw easily tired. not to mention he had to prepare breakfast for the morning so he had to rest first. Issac was also the same.he was not tired but it would probably be troublesome if he was outside continuously. eventually he decided to go into his room as well.
of course he did not sleep.he decided to continue to enjoy the view of this beautiful night until the sun rose from the east.
****
That morning, Anna woke up from her sleep.the sun was up. she opened her bedroom window and a fresh wind hit her.The sight of flowers lay in front of her, along with the range of hills visible from a distance.
this was a new sensation Anna had felt. she had never lived in a rural area before so this kind of feeling was something new to her. she inhaled a deep breath then exhaled it. For a moment, she let out a breath, he prayed first to the 12 holy Goddesses, after which he decided to get out of his room.
""Good Morning Miss Anna."" outside the room, Anna passed James and Evelyn, who greeted her politely.
"For James, Evelyn. a beautiful morning isn't it? by the way where's Issac, I didn't see him coming out of the room?"
"Sorry miss, we don't know.The child may still be sleeping."
They had just wanted to make sure to go to Issac's room when a very delicious scent was smelled from downstairs. Forget about Issac, the number one good meal. as soon as he arrived downstairs Anna was shocked because Issac and Mervouw were preparing breakfast for them.
"Yohh Anna, James, and Evelyn. Your sleep is not so good that at this hour you just wake up. let's have breakfast, we don't have much time to relax."
he said while carrying a pot filled with meat soup. Breakfast today looks much tastier than dinner yesterday.Is it possible because yesterday Mervouw was too hasty to prepare his dinner? seems not.
well, forget it. The important thing is that the food is delicious!
""Good-eating!!""
it didn't take long to finish their breakfast.As Issac said, they didn't have much time. ten minutes later, breakfast was over.
Mervouw tidied the dining table while Anna and the others immediately headed to the terrace of the house to get directions from Issac. Anna was so confused, had Issac ever hunted monsters before? but seeing that he could defeat monsters in the underground dungeon of the academy, the answer was obvious.
"All right, let's go. Aunt Mervouw, we're off first. See you."
Anna cheerfully waved her hand towards Mervouw who was greeted with a smile by him.Their journey to the goblin nest took about an hour.
actually they didn't need to eradicate all the goblins, but it seemed that Issac had other plans. Anna thinks like that.
"Hey Anna, do you seem confused? what's up?"
"I-issac!! don't suddenly appear behind me like that!!"
"Hahaha sorry Anna, but you're cute when it's like that. You're asking why we have to go to the goblin's lair when along the way we meet goblins right? the answer is simple.The first one is because this village is special.so I decided to eradicate all goblins here.
the second one is....."
"The second one...Secrets!"
BUKS!! A fist landed on the head of Issac.it was a fist that had been strengthened by Buff's magic.it must have hurt!
"Hey Anna, I'm just kidding! once you get there you'll know my intentions! believe me."
Anna cutely turned her face away with a frown. "Issac Bully me!"
James and Evelyn who saw the affection of Issac and Anna were just nodding around with resignation.didn't they look like lovers compared to friends!?
an hour's drive, they have arrived at the nest of goblins. well actually they do not need to goblin nest anyway because along the way a lot of goblin corpses scattered. if they want, if they want, they only had to cut off one of the goblin's limbs to prove to the guild that their task had been completed.
but Anna and the others are alone with Issac. The lesson for them, obedient excessively is not good.because now, once they get into the cave that became the goblin's nest, the, Issac just stood outside, not only that, he even closed the entrance of the cave with his earth element magic!
the rest can be guessed. Anna and the others panicked half to death as the fog scrambled for a way out. James knew Issac was nosy, but this time it was too much!
"Corn, that trash, why is he so good outside while we have to face death in this Goa!?" apparently James's curse was heard to the ears of Issac who was outside Goa.
"Oiii, I can hear you James! if you're going out, make sure you've killed all the goblins, okay!!"
"ISSAAAACCC." this time Anna's screams are heard to come out Goa. while Issac? none of them knew what he was doing.
How else would you like? it seems like Issac is serious this time, they inevitably have to go further inside to finish off the goblins.
****
Meanwhile outside Goa...
Issac was setting up a tent and making a fireplace for cooking.well, Issac was quite good at cooking.even the breakfast they had eaten was almost all made by Issac.
this time he intended to make rabbit soup and the portion he deliberately added. surely they would be hungry and exhausted from fighting hard to eradicate the goblins. Issac has to standby in front of Goa to prepare for the worst possible situation, so he relies on Cacha to hunt for his main ingredient, the fanged rabbit.
Issac also asks Cacha to search for the goblins' nest and various visions for Issac. In addition, Cacha also kills the goblins seen along the way. eliminating the goblins that messed up in the village while increasing the ability of Anna, James, and Evelyn.
Issac felt guilty to them, but this was one way to train their mentally. Issac did not doubt that at all, but they had never faced a real enemy.This was their chance to develop.
Issac might be quite used to Killing, whether it be humans or monsters, but not with them.
Isaac gave them two hours of time. supposedly with the power they have now, it was enough for them to eradicate all the goblins that nest there. After all, the, it's not like they're going to meet a goblin King or anything.
All right, Issac decided to continue cooking.
****
back to Goa...
The three of them gasped in exhaustion from continuing to fight endlessly against the goblins. Goa is like having no end.
along the way, they are often ambushed by goblins. Anna could have used light magic to illuminate this place but it would provoke the monsters. In the end, they had to rely on their hearing and instinct to survive.
What shocked James and Evelyn was that, even though Anna looked like a weak woman from the outside, she was a great melee fighter! he could kill a goblin with just his bare fist alone.this made them realize that judging someone just from appearance was extremely dangerous.
at first, they feel very nauseous when they kill a goblin, but they have no choice. Otherwise killing you will be killed. they are not naive enough to realize that.
well thanks to that, without them knowing it, the goblins in Goa are almost gone. James with his strengthening magic and sword arts with the barbarians slashing the goblins. Anna with her martial ability crushed the bones of the cursed goblin and Evelyn who turned out to be talented in buff and barrier magic, protecting their backs while fighting.
finally, all the goblins had been wiped out! it was time for them to come out of this Goa and beat up the person who had trapped them in this mess!!
