Chapter 3：Goblin Hunt 1

[Name] Nalrin Calren [Race] human [Age] 21

-An otherworlder?

-That not right master, otherworlder isn't normally invocated during royal ceremony under the gaze of high ranked mages?

-Yes, that right, due is clothes and features, perhaps he is of some northern tribe . But to think that one will appear during Jern celebration, how strange.

-What do we do with him?

The one who respond was the only among them to wear a light metal armor on him, constantly on the side of the late middle age men.

-Since he appears in the house of Baron, aren't the gods bestowing him to the Baron-sama son?

The one who spoke was the other one on the side of the man.

"So, he is a Baron, no wonder he as this cocky attitude."

-Ah, that right, it must be the god's who send him to me, right, good, very good, Jern was just lacking someone to go with him. Great, Cals, go fetch the slave trader.

-Yes, right away Baron.

Just like that the group immediately exits the subbasement, surely no wanting to rest a single second more in this place.

-To think that I would have been send to another world to become a slave in the very instant that I arrive.

Since I arrive the day before, not a single meal was sent, thankfully, I have something to eat inside alongside with a pet bottle of water in my pocket. After finishing the snack on it, my anger was slightly appeasing but not to the point of being completely full.

Around an hour after the previous visit, two guards came down and open the jail before dragging me, each by an arm and be bringing before two men and a child. The one on the left was the same at before but the other is completely new. Clad in black cloth, and a rotten look, I easily think him of the slave trader. On the side, the child has roughly the same figure as the man, a disdainful gaze while looking at me.

'He what, not even ten, yet, he has already this kind of gaze? It seems that nobility in this world are the same as influential one in my natal world, thinking they are elite and look down on the other.'

-It's him?

-Yes.

Chill run down my spine as the man look at me with predator eyes.

-Umu, he seems to be good merchandise, what do Baron-sama wants to do with him?

-Just enslave him, he is for my son.

Hearing this, he seems to be quite disappointed, surely thinking than he wants to sell me.

-He was examined?

-No need he will go immediately with him for his first hunt after.

Not saying anything, the man raises is hands where an thick iron collar appear out of is selves. On the right side of the opening a rough translucent crystal was inlay. The choker was rapidly close around my neck before he call the young boy.

-Baron, please.

-Yes.

He brings the young boy near me, putting a drop of blood on the crystal, turning is bright red in a flash of light. The bright color fade while I sense something flows in my mind, constraining it.

-Congratulation young master for contracting a new slave.

-He's mine now?

-Yes, do as you please.

I couldn't trust my ears; I became a slave just like that. I was able to understand that I will become a slave, but I couldn't think that magic exists in this world. If it was only a physical link, I could have somewhat bear it before fleeing but now, it's seemed that I doomed.

-Father, let's go right away!

-Ok, Father still has work to do so Cals will go with you. Cals, go prepare a complete unit to go with Jern, goblin or slime will be good for a first time.

-Certainly Baron, what do we do with him, does we make him change for other cloths?

-No, that will be good like that, give him a bag, he will bear Jern spoils.

-Yes baron, as you wish.

I was bringing away with the man. Not too long after, we exit the mansion, letting me take a look at it. The size of the house was impressive, nearing the one of old manor back to earth. Since the man was a Baron he surely has some power.

While resting in the domain, I was drag in a single story long building, surely a casern of the guard inside the land of the Baron.

-Here, you know dismantling…., surely not, what a pain in ass, you will carry young master spoils. Don't damage or steal any think otherwise…

"Are you perhaps dumb? How could I steal something if I need a bag to carry thing?"

I follow the instruction and take the leather bag on a table. The size on itself was not that large, only half meter long, twenty-five centimeters large with a meter length. Inside it was a structure made of surely iron bars hide in an understudy. The leather itself was a good centimeter thick cut in an unknown beast.

-For the moment, you will carry it, after, the young master takes it.

Leaving me on the spot, he goes gather guards to form a group of ten including him. Since they don't know anything of me, they prepare themselves their horses. An hour after, eleven horses stood in front of the casern, it seems that I would go on feet. Around the same time, the father-son duo exits of the manor.

-I entrust Jern to you Cals.

-Be Assured Baron, I will keep close eyes on him.

"Why do you look at me while saying that, I'm not in position to do something right?"

As one can think, who say otherworld say weapon, each of them have complete leather armor, sword, shield, spear and a long knife on their side. Even the young was in leather armor and have a long knife, too long for him.

-You, you better take a good look on my son if you want to live longer.

I look at him like one would at an idiot.

"You make me a slave the moment I appear in another world and now you want me TAKE good care of you scum son, dream one!"

-You're insolent, the baron speaks to you!

Taking the spear, he rams it on my arm. surely looking forward a pained expression I surely let him down with my expressionless face. Well, you know, it's hurt a bit but is nothing compared to the broken bones during our hunt with great grandpa, so the pain rapidly disappears after a little massage.

Here is another brainless one, who would like to take care of people like them, I'm already at the last social rank, I have nothing to lost except my life so, and it's not like your intimidating me with your angry voice.

Silence rose between the group as Nalrin not respond to ether ones. Before it became awkward, the Baron sends them of; making the guard help the young master mount is horse. As they exit the walls around the baron mansion, Nalrin was able to look on his surroundings.

Actually, the domain was on the top of a large small hill around a hundred meter above a little village, itself surround in wooden bulwark. In the total surrounded land around a fifth was still arable and was around the mansion, surely the personal land of the Baron. As he can see, the village would surely be around four thousand or so people a rather large one for him. On the wood bulwark he could see three gates, seeming done on the cardinal point, the last hide by the mansion. On them, only one has practically no construction around, only the same type of the casern and seem rather large and in better state than the other.

"Is his personal road? Seem like we will go by it."

In fact, the domain was surrounding by a round road where the three roads connect.

"The areas seem to be on the same level as the novel I read and be around late middle age development. Since he says that there are goblins, they surely have other monster and humanity can't really develop to fast due the monster presence. They want to hunt goblins, if they are the same as in the novel, that not really a good choice."

As expect, we take the road in front of the entrance of the domain, directly exiting the village without to have to pass through the village. Looking at the sky, the sun seems to be still young as we depart, surely around eight o'clock.

As one could expect, one the village is exit, large patch of land and forest where there, nature recovering everything. Beside their step, the road extent and a forest could be see no too far.

-Move faster you're punk!

It was not the first time the guard yield at me, but they have no chance to force me. If the use force, I will delay further with injury but if they do nothing, they can't force me to move faster. You may thing that is childish, but I will not move without being sure of the surrounding.

Since the view is quite open, anyone would be able to see the least abnormally in a good two three hundred meters but still, it my first time in another world. It would be suicidal to go running around in an unknown land with unknown people.
