159 Episode 159 "I tried to use" non-lethal weapon "to rescue the hostages with maximum power.".txt

"Activate 'Food Negotiation'. ''Yes. Sorry, passing goblin. Please tell us what you're doing in this abandoned village.

............ I'm telling you, child abduction is a felony in human society, right?

"Go...... gob-oh

The 'watchful goblin' that Rita brought in secretly is looking at me with a drawn-out face.

Didn't he say he disappeared into the village, far away from his friends, and pulled a disgruntled look on his face? That 'watchful goblin' is frightened, but he's not angry and out of control. I held out a piece of dried meat to him, he swallowed it down honestly and then began to talk.

I don't want to do this," he said.

The 'Watchful Goblin' looked around at us and then said.

Wa-Walera ...... "Forest Goblin" accepts the teachings of the ...... "Wise Goblin" Noda ......

'The Wise Goblin'?

I looked at everyone.

Cecil, Rita, Aine, Cutlass, and Letitia are nodding their heads.

If no one knows, is it a new kind of demon?

"Are you saying that the 'wise goblin' or ...... is the one who ordered the kidnapping?

The 'Watchful Goblin' nodded at my words.

The "Wise Goblin" summa said ...... he came to lead the goblins. He said that he would make humans and subhumans fight - and expand the world of demons. I was opposed to this, but I didn't want him to hear ......

Is that 'wise goblin' in that village?

"Now, Inai ...... that man is more than a goblin ...... Moshashitara ......

The goblin said, grinding his fangs together as he rasped.

''...... across the ocean, Irascal ...... may be a badass thing concerning the Demon King ......''

...... I haven't heard that in a long time. His name is "Maou".

Thank you. Thank you for the information. If you promise to stop attacking humans from now on, I'll let you go, but what do you say?

'............ uu...... ningen......... ...scary.

The 'Watchful Goblin' thought for a moment and then shook his head.

We're using the "life bargain" to get information out of him, so this guy can't lie. Let's keep him in custody for now and let him go later.

For now, we know that the Wise Goblin is the master of this hive, and that he is in charge of the kidnapping.

Originally, the master of the lair was the Goblin Lord, but it seems to be under the control of the Wise Goblin. I've been told that this 'Goblin Watcher' is an intelligent goblin and does not like the 'Wise Goblin'.

"I knew those children were kidnapped.

I didn't even know the purpose of The Watchful Goblin.

Children, I'm not wearing a collar. They are not enslaved, apparently.

However, the purpose of making humans and sub-humans fight each other, which may have something to do with the battle between sub-humans going on beyond the forest. It's better to rescue them quickly and secretly return them to the beastman tribe.

''Then we'll start rescuing the hostages. We don't need to annihilate the goblins, so let's sneak in, quickly, and in the shortest possible distance to get to the children.

I said.

"Yes!　Nagi-sama!

Thank you ...... thank you ...... thank you. Master.

It's good for Aine to get a lot of practice in helping the little ones.

'Of course a righteous nobleman would help people.

The Knight Candidate for Justice (formerly) agrees!

'You can't let a situation like that go unnoticed,'

It was unanimous.

I decided on a plan based on the information I got from the 'Watchful Goblin'.

Currently, the only humans and demi-humans in the goblin's nest are those children. And there is no boss and middle boss in this village. We don't have to think about the surrounding damage, and there's no need to save our magic power for the boss fight.

When I return, I'll pass on the information to the Adventurer's Guild and tell them about the "Wise Goblin". With the information of the children we saved, the Adventurer's Guild should come to take this nest down seriously.

But before that, we'd better take some damage here too.

Of course, the safety of the children comes first.

"Before we go, Cecil.

Yes. Mr. Nagi.

''What happens when you change the flame magic 'light' to a water attribute?'''

'Yes. ...... 'Light' is a magical light that takes away the enemy's vision. Change it to water, and it becomes something that takes away the enemy's vision with water.

I understand. I'll see you later.

I told everyone the plan.

It will take about 20 minutes.

We need to rescue the kidnap victims and get back to the city as soon as possible.

────────────────────────── ...

"Gobbler!

The master goblin who has been guarding the cage barked at the other goblins.

The reason for this is because the small-fry goblins said they wanted to kill a child.

Totally, it's a problem because the underlings are driven only by instinct.

"............ goboo

...... Hi.

A beast child screamed as he glared inside the cage.

The 'Master Goblin' is a two-faced goblin and has 'Sword Art Skills'. They must know that. The children in the cage are knocking over the beast ears and shaking their tails. Seeing this, the 'master goblin' twists his big mouth and laughs.

To the goblins, people and sub-humans are what they kill.

But these guys in the cage are 'tools'. You don't kill them until you've used them up.

At least that's what the new leader of the goblins, the Wise Goblin, told me.

............ found the land of Kono and Crete. I also defeated the humans who came here ......'

And since the main "goblin lord" is following, there is no doubt about it.

Now, let's take out more people and subhumans.

To satisfy our instincts. And to expand our territory...

Gob!　A. Gobbledygook!　Gaaaaaah!''

The 'Master Goblin' raised his sword and howled.

Gosu!

"Gov'ah!

Suddenly, the goblin that had been keeping watch tumbled to the ground.

He's not dead. It looks like he was hit on the head with something hard.

"Gobbler? Gogga?

Even the head of the "master goblin", who involuntarily shouted, was shocked. For a moment, my vision darkened. It was a lump of water that flew at me.

It was a powerful flight that struck the goblins in the head.

I'm not going to be the only one. No ...... that's not all.

"The source of all life, the flow of water which covers the whole atmosphere.

In the distance, there was a faint voice.

To the "Master Goblin" it was just a sound, and he didn't know what it meant...

"'Go down to this place and hide your domain in a thick fog of water.

The next moment...

The entire abandoned village that was occupied by the goblins was enveloped in a white mist.

''Gob!　Govt. ────!

The "Master Goblin" screamed.

Unbelievable.

It only took a few seconds for the abandoned village to be enveloped in a thick white fog. There was no way for the fog to spread like this. And it was too thick. It's as if milk has been poured into it, and I can't even see my own hands.

"Gogua? BOOM? "Gobuaaah!

In addition, the goblins are screaming.

There's the sound of water. That attack magic is still flying.

But I don't understand. How could they fire accurately in such a fog!

"Gobbleraaaaaah!

The "Master Goblin" chides the boisterous goblins.

His ears have already caught the sound of the intruder's footsteps. The enemy is coming straight at us.

I'm sure you're not the only one who's creating this thick fog and sending the magic flying.

Boo!　Gov!

Immediately, the "Master Goblins" call out to the goblins who can move.

Through the white mist, the goblins around them began to gather around them at the sound of their voices.

The purpose of the intruders was probably to recover the children.

But that's no problem.

The goblins have weapons, too. They have armor and shields.

If they all work together to build a wall, they'll be able to hold off the enemy...

Activate. "Delayed Combat..." "Thrust!

Duh, shh.

"Govua ──────!

The next moment - a huge jet-black sword that extended through the fog - blew away the goblins in a dense state.

''Gobua ...... gua (such a ...... silly ......)''

What the fallen 'master goblins' heard was the sound of human footsteps as they passed by, ignoring them.

'Gob ...... yusha ...... ka'

Oh, it's not like that.

I mumbled 'people's words' in a cataclysmic voice, and the reply came back to me easily.

I didn't understand the meaning of it, but I knew it was being denied.

'...... gu ...... gu bua ...... ba (ke, sage ......-sama)'

The last time he called out his Lord's name, the 'Master Goblin' stopped his movements.

──────────────────── ...

Mission accomplished. All units hold on, full speed ahead!

""Yes!"

We ran at full speed over the goblins we had knocked down.

A rope in both hands. Me, Rita and Cutlass are holding it. Is this stuff called 'playing with trains'?

The strategy was to 'distract the eye from the point of no return'

First, Cecil's ancient language magic 'Fog' wraps the abandoned village in a thick fog.

The Fog is the attribute of the fire magic "Light" that was changed to water.

It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to have to worry about it. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before.

It lasts about 20 minutes.

During that time, we must break through the goblin's nest and rescue the children.

I didn't turn on the light because it would have hurt their eyes. I'd like to help them unharmed, if possible.

'We're on course!　No enemies and no obstacles. Run at full speed and you'll be fine!

There are no goblins between us and the cage.

I'm not going to be the only one who can see my surroundings in the dense fog so that Cecil and I don't get affected by his magic "light".

That's why I'm leading the way.

Cecil rides on the back of Rita as she runs behind, guiding her every so often.

Cutlass protects the rearmost part of the car. I'm always sending her the scenery I'm seeing with the mind linkage modified. If you run on it, you'll be fine.

But that's still very powerful. Arujidono's swordsmanship is amazing!

'It's for 20 strikes. I'm pretty tired, but ......

The goblins that are deprived of their sight have a habit of huddling together, is information from Aine's knowledge of former guildmaster apprentices and Leticia's combat experience. Thanks to that, all I had to do was stick out my magic sword, Leggy, straight at them. I have to thank everyone for their knowledge.

10 steps to the cage. It's locked. Cecil, grab the dagger.

Yes. Nagi-sama!

Rita, call out to the child in the cage. So that they know their friends are here!

All right. Let's go.

Rita huffs and puffs behind me.

"Wow. ──────n!

And howling.

The children in the cage - the two beastly children - ping, and the beastly ears. They smile. They realize that the beastmen have come to help us.

We arrive at the cage.

The bars of the cage are wooden. The door has a metal lock on it.

I shake the dagger Cecil gave me in a hurry. Bum-bum-bum. (x25 times).

Activate!　''Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Dagger!''

Gimme!

With a sound that made my ears ache, the dagger, which had concentrated the power of 25 attacks, broke off.

At the same time, the hardware of the lock and the connection of the grate.

Rita kicked it off without question and removed it. As it was, she jumped into the cage.

'It's all right now!　Your sister will give you all back home!

Yes!

As expected of two beastmen. Apparently they can tell by the smell even if they can't see each other.

After Rita gets out of the cage, we, including the kids, start playing "train" again.

I know it's the first time for the two kids, but they are laughing. As long as they're enjoying themselves, that's fine.

Then we're off and running!

We'll just keep running.

Cecil and I see through the fog. Most of the goblins in the village have stopped moving because they're scared of the fog. Except for the ones that are coming our way. Doesn't seem like much of a choice. He wants me to get an eyeball on them and send the images to Cutlass.

"Will you?　Cutlass, Fynn!

I'll take care of it. Arujidono!

Cutlass steps forward.

Relying on my image that is sent every second──I activate 'Kakusei Randa'.

''Seeno!

Two voices rang out by themselves, and Cutlass' sword arced.

''Gua!'' "Guvuah? "...... gueye

There were three goblins that were coming towards us. All of them fell down, with their limbs slashed.

There was no wasted movement by Cutlass at all. Fynn analyzed the images I'd sent him in increments (which looked like a movie when they unfolded in sequence) and cut down the goblins with the best of swordsmanship.

"Don't wait too long. They all shoo...!

"'Yes?'" "Yes?

Me, Rita, Cecil, and Cutlass. And two beastly children.

There are no witnesses in the fog, so we run in full cheat mode.

It's only a few minutes until Cecil's 'ancient language version of the thick fog' disappears.

'Well then, good boys and girls. Let's close our eyes for the last time!

What? Oh. Um.

As soon as Rita and Cutlass leave the forest, blindfold the children. And Cecil. Can you use the "Holy Wand Noel Root"?

'Yes, sir. I have it ready for you!

So, please!　As soon as the 'fog' disappears!

I understand!

I'll be sure to send Aine a note with a revised version of the mind linkage.

We escape from the Goblin's lair - the abandoned village at full speed. At the same time, the fog that covered the surroundings disappears. Aine, who was looking at me from the exit of the forest, sent me a picture.

The goblins, whose vision has opened up, are chasing us all at once with their weapons.

Of course, they're all angry and wide-eyed (・・・・・・).

'Just as well. Cecil, give me a second shot!

Cancel Attribute Change--return the attribute to fire. Activate 'Holy Wand Noel Root' at maximum area of effect. Minimum duration--I'm going!　"Ancient language magic... lights!

Cecil's magic goes off, and then...

A sphere of light covered the forest and the goblin's nest.

''Gobuaaaaaaaaaa!!!!''

The screams of goblins echoed through the abandoned village.

...... Amazing. The largest range of effect, "Ancient Language Version of Light

The Holy Wand Noel Root can increase or decrease the range of magic. This ancient magic lamplight sacrifices duration for maximum range.

So it only lasts 8 seconds. But the power is increased, and it's enough to use it as a "flashbang".

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. The only exception is the blindfolded "guardian goblins". That guy was stunned by Aine's "Memory Wipe", but just in case.

Furthermore, the forest is also... there are some demons lying around, but that's okay.

All of you, out of the forest!　Also, if you notice the magic crystal, just pick it up in case you notice it!

「「「「「 "Mission, Liuca!" 」」」」」

I don't know about this, but I'll help you.

After meeting up with Aine and Letitia, we ran straight through the forest.

The children, Rita held them in her arms with a very nice smile.

Of course, until we leave the forest, Rita's "Presence Detection" and Cecil's "Magic Detection" will keep us on guard.

And so we escape from the danger zone...

In addition, he also collected the magic crystal that Delilira-san had asked him to collect.
