Chapter 96

We were leaving the Green Goblin Clan... It wasn’t that long nor short time ago that we had stayed there, but the lingering sentiments which we had here was quite considerable taking into account how long we had lived here.

Even though he had not expressed it a lot, Green Goblin really liked me so much so, that he would forever leave the tent I lived in untouched as a reminder of my stay. This will probably last as long as another clan does not enter into guardianship under him. In addition to this, it also seems a Blood Dagger flag will be left raised high within their village for a while as well.

It wasn’t only I who appreciated the hospitality; as the other Green Skins also acknowledged their senior comrades by saluting with their hands on their chest.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

The time we had spent there was extensive, but it only took a moment before we departed from it. Feeling a presence waiting outside the village, I looked over and noticed Black Spear waiting for me.

“You’ve really worked hard all this time, brother.”

“Thank you, Black Spear.”

Black Spear has already decided to accompany me. No, it was implicitly determined that we would move together as brethren clans since the outset.

“But are you really fine with leaving behind your village here in the West...”

“Since I can leave this village for the new Green Skins to manage and depart together with a new brother, it’s not that regrettable.”

“It’s an answer only you would say.”

It was certainly a warm welcome to have Black Spear with me on this journey. But there was another problem. I swung my gaze around and began to glance towards the Goblin who was awkwardly standing beside us.

She was a Goblin Shaman who was standing with a staff larger than her body.

In short, she was the female Goblin who had followed Black Spear.

It was the recently new Green Skins who had chosen Black Spear Clan to be their protectors for next the three years. In other words, she was a newbie that had just passed the Patriarch’s Exam.

It was a bit awkward seeing her looking around the surroundings slightly dumbfounded. It was understandable, as it has only been a few months since she had arrived at Black Spear’s village, and now they were moving once again causing her to be somewhat worried.

No, rather than that, it was certain that she didn’t like our clan. Black Spear, also feeling the heated gaze from Little Finger, coughed dryly as he spoke.

“Hmph...Hmph...but will it be okay if the Little Finger Clan were to venture out together...”

To be honest, my line of thinking wasn’t that keen to take the time, resources and be responsible for such baggage so I felt uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help it. Little Finger looked at me from Black Spear’s words, conscious of my presence.

“Of course they are welcomed.”

Little Finger’s face began to brighten as she soon rushed off to her own unblooded clan members, which consisted of about thirty to relay the joyful news. Spotting them clustered up like that, I began to subconsciously think of my past.

It wouldn’t be bad to have such cute little guys with us.

Our group had decided to travel off to the East. Of course, the East, North, or South were all fine choices, but in the present situation, it was the only option.

Our priority was to become stronger, but also to exact vengeance.

If I remember correctly, there was not much left before a small city in the east becomes completely destroyed.

‘The small city of Somorah.’

It was a slavers city which administered both Human and Green Skin slaves. To be precise, they weren’t simply titled as a Slave city. It was the city that had all sorts of human garbage converging around it, a town for corrupt human beings to release their greed and desires. To say it once more, it was a city of people no different from murderers.

The city was managed by the Black Thorn Guild, and the guild master was Yoon Jungsoo.

I could not say that their forces was strong, but I remembered that they were people of sufficient ability. Due to the alliances, treaties with various clans and guilds, their size in scale was also quite large.

“Strength, Wisdom and Honor.”

“Kereeeuk. Strength, Wisdom and Honor... it is a face I have seen before... Black Spear of the West... and you... must be Blood Dagger.”

He is called Big Ogre,a chief of the Big Ogre Clan within the jungle. Unlike the rumored arrogant and intimidating presence that he had, he had quite an innocent, warm smile. I had thought that he would not recognize me from my change of appearance, but it seems that he had roughly recognized who I was from our flag standards.

“Thinking about it, it has already been three years. Are you trying to settle in the jungle?”

His look was full of anticipation as his heart pounded eagerly from my answer. It was a moment where I felt greatly apologetic for betraying his expectations.

“I’m sorry, Big Ogre. We are currently heading east.”

From my words, he was immediately disappointed.

“That’s quite a shame. It would be better to live in the jungle than the east... can’t you reconsider once more?”

His look was of anticipation once more, making me feel that this guy had been quite lonely just like Green Goblin.

“We have something to do in the east. If we were to finish our mission and an opportunity were to arise, we will visit here once more.”

“Great! The jungle is a good place to live! It is definitely a place that Blood Dagger and Black Spear would be satisfied with. How about sleeping here for one night before going?!”

The face of the guy in front was like one that had separation anxiety disorder. I felt a bit bad to refuse in this situation, but knowing that I couldn’t afford to lose any more time, I started with asking him the question I was most curious about.

“Hmm... is Goff Clan still around here?”

Interestingly, his face distorted from my question. No, to be precise, his eyes reddened the moment I brought it up.

“Kereeeeeeeeuk. That ogre who doesn’t even know grace?! I don’t know such an Ogre!”

But his eyes were implying that he knew about Goff. Worried that Goff might have betrayed Big Ogre, I asked once more.

“It has been three years since I had looked after him, but he left immediately without a single farewell! How could I forgive him!”

“Correct! He’s a very bad..........bad guy.”

Even after Big Ogre finished talking, the Ogres in the back suddenly changed appearances into their rumored berserker selves.

For a while, Black Spear and I stared at him dumbfoundedly. Soon realizing what condition he was in, he settled himself down and spoke once more.

It was a pleasant, yet also lamentable statement.

“Keum...Keum...Go...if it’s Goff, he went to the West. I heard that he went to find his brother.”
