Chapter 87 - Mission harder than it sounds?

I went to the receptionist and agreed to do the mission.

If I could not complete the mission I would have to pay a fee of 4 snake coins to the guild.

'Well, I don't need to worry about that.' Because I would not fail in such a simple mission, right?

But anything can happen, so I better stay a little alert and not get too arrogant.

While I was walking out of town I remembered one thing.

I do not have a sword.

Yes, all this time I was in the capital I still had not got a sword, this is extremely shameful.

"There must be a blacksmith around." I started walking around town looking for a blacksmith, as I had not yet visited a blacksmith in the capital.

After walking for a while I arrived in a not too big shop, but from inside the shop you could hear the blacksmith's hammer hitting the metal, I haven't heard that sound in a while.

I entered the store and when I entered I came across several swords and armor, they were very good quality swords.

I put my hand in my pocket and saw that I currently had 8 silver coins, I think you can only buy an ordinary iron sword, but the swords seem to have a good quality so it's worth it.

After continuing to look at the swords a little, the working blacksmith noticed me.

The blacksmith was not a dwarf, but he was a 2 meter tall and very muscular man.

"Can I help you?" The blacksmith asked as he placed his hammer on the shop counter.

"I'm looking for a sword, I need a sword priced up to 8 silver coins." I said as I showed the money to the seller.

When the seller saw the money him frowned, he seemed to be bothered that I had little money, but soon after he put a smile on his face and started showing me some swords.

'He really knows how to hide his feelings' This blacksmith is very greedy apparently.

Well, whatever, I don't care about that much.

The blacksmith kept showing me a few swords, most of them the same, but it seems that the 8-coin swords are not very good at all.

Well, since in my view they were all the same I chose any of them and left the store.

I didn't even ask the blacksmith's name because I didn't even know if I'd be back here after that, because this blacksmith was extremely arrogant and greedy.

Well, now that we have our sword, let's go complete this mission.

#########

I left town and headed toward the forest a few feet from the capital, well, it's a seemingly large forest.

It seems that in this forest there are wild wolves, Goblins, Kobolds and even Orcs that is already a more powerful monster.

Well I would just have to kill 5 Goblins, so I think I'll finish this quickly.

I reached the forest and entered the woods.

I already had the sword in my hand because I would not want to suffer any surprise attacks in the middle of my first mission.

I had been walking through the woods for 20 minutes but I had not met any monsters yet, this is totally frustrating.

'Let's keep walking around.' I was already a little tired of looking. Not physically tired but I was bored.

After realizing that there would be no monster here I decided to go deeper into the forest.

Monsters always stay in more isolated places so I guess now I'll find at least a few goblins.

########

I got deeper into the florest and was looking for goblins.

After another 10 minutes of searching I finally found it.

'Isn't that a very large group of goblins?' Where I was looking I had at least 40 goblins, that's a lot.

The only thing I could think of at the moment was a Goblin King.

In my old world where there were many goblins there would always be a Goblin King.

'I have to see this more closely.' I started to approach very slowly to get a better view.

"Yes, is him." I spotted King Goblin, he was less than King Goblin I fought inside that dungeon a few years ago, but still he was big.

I didn't know if I could win against him, but I would try, because I need to level up.

Even if I couldn't, I think I'm fast enough to get away and notify the guild.

"Well, let's go." I started attacking the goblins with magic.
