Chapter 118

The Ogres of Goff’s clan, who were walking around the huge campfire, and the little kids and Nicola, also came into my view. The trolls of Black Spear’s clan, who were watching the Ogres and Yura Kim, who was clapping her hands while drinking unidentifiable liquid with Hakazin, also came into my view.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

“Mirror Blade is my new name! The new name given by Blood Dagger!”

“I’m Half Blade!”

Although it was withdrawing the names, rather than bestowing new names, it didn’t make much difference to Gark and Hark who were already quite intoxicated.

“Wuhhhhh!”

The images of the three goblin sisters, who were roasting large pieces of demon meats over the bonfire, were also memorable.

The demon meat that was being roasted appeared to be like that of a bear, so it was very likely that it was the food prepared by Goff’s clan since we have no recollection of ever catching it. As I made a subtle noise, Goff waved his hand in my direction. He was continuously laughing as he appeared to be engaged in some interesting conversation with Black Spear.

“Blood Dagger!”

He must have been drinking since I was talking in the village of Storm Shadow, as his face was already red from the wine.

“What are you talking about, Black Spear.”

As I spoke, walking towards them in order to join in their conversation, Black Spear replied immediately.

“We were just talking about the Orc that Goff ran into in the west...”

“Hm?”

I shook my head because although I talked about a lot of things with the Green Goblin, I don’t recall ever talking about the land of glory. I saw Black Spear nodding his head and concluded that he, perhaps, knew it well. Even though it was customary for senior Green Skins to tell this information to the freshmen Green Skins, as it was the first time the Green Goblin had taken in a junior member, he might have simply forgotten to tell and pass on the story.

Goff began to speak slowly after seeing that I was curious.

“Obviously, you haven’t heard... I don’t know where to start since I’m not a good story teller. I guess I’ll start from the beginning...”

“..............”

“In the beginning, there only lived humans and demons on this continent.

Goff slowly began to tell the story.

“Although I am not sure how accurate it was, when Agar, the great chief, and the tribe initially arrived here, it was said that a lot of humans had already established a settlement here.”

This was what Goff said. The humans had taken the settlement here first. Then later we, the Green Skins, arrived. Although it was rather a boring story, it was quite dramatic at the same time. From the stories about how the great chief went about avoiding the humans in order to prepare a place to live, to how they grew apart due to conflicting opinions were told.

“Due to the powerful humans who had already settled here, the great chief chose to cower, and many Green Skins, who had failed to understand this, had either deserted the great chief... or died...”

Then later, the endless battles came after discovering the land of plenty in the South, after passing through the desert. It was a war that didn’t start due to some instincts, but rather, out of a necessity for the survivor of the tribe, and further for the name of the Green Skin Tribe.

I began to paint the great chief’s image in my head. Even though only a short version of the story was heard, many more events that we couldn’t even fathom had taken place for sure. Countless number of comrades and subordinates had likely been killed in the battles, and the children along with the Green Skins of other clans, which had arrived later, were most likely killed as well.

Finally, I understood why the land of glory was called the land of glory. The place was where countless number of Green Skins had shed blood and sweat. Also, I could understand why Agar, the great chief, was called the great chief, and how he was able to completely dominate me when we first met.

After he finished telling the story, Goff subtly looked in my way. Unconsciously, I looked at Goff as well, and after a brief silence, Goff spoke, showing his fangs.
