Chapter 57 It’s Not Me Who Forgot Ez But Moku.

The long, tortuous goblin cave was filled with eustachian flowers for illumination. Although the goblins can see in the dark, the eustachian flower also functions as a heater and air conditioner for this huge goblin cave.

Eustachian flowers are a type of flower that grows and blooms from moss that lives in dark and damp places.

These mosses usually live on the ceiling of the cave and stick their roots to the surface. The roots will grow leaves and absorb sunlight as photosynthesis.

However, the leaves do not absorb light from the sun, but only the heat. In order to protect themselves, this plant develops a flower-shaped excretory system which is named eustasias.

The eustachian flower then shines brightly at night to emit harmful sunlight.

The use of eustachian flowers as lighting, heating, and air conditioning has been practiced by goblins for decades. Maybe since the first goblins existed and made this cave.

Even though the eustachian flower was nurtured and flourished in the goblin cave there were still parts of the ceiling of the labyrinth that were not overgrown by it.

There are several reasons why the eutasias flower doesn't grow to those parts, namely because the goblin tribe does guard that part from being overgrown by eustachian flowers because it is filled with traps which of course will reduce its effectiveness under bright light.

There was also the fact that the place was where goblins grew mushrooms, whose growth would be disturbed by too bright light.

There is also because the place is a new part that the goblins have just dug up so that the eutasias flower has not had yet to spread up there.

There is also because the place is the deepest part of the goblin cave to the very long roots of eustacia that can't even reach the surface if it grows in this place.

This section is usually used by goblins as a dumping ground. A dumping ground for all things that are of no use to goblins.

This section is named Trash Dump. Moku and Hoddurt were walking down towards the Trash Dump.

"We found him unconscious within our territory. I don't know what happened and he looks very badly injured.

I treated him moderately, just to ensure that he survived. I don't know if he's a mage or not so I don't want him to recover completely and be a danger to us.

I also imprisoned him down here. Even if he's conscious and recovered, he can't attack us or at least we have a time to evacuate." Hoddurt recounted the incident when the goblins first encountered the elf.

"You are taking a risky step Hoddurt" Moku was confused, Hoddurt is a very careful person.

"I'd like to get information on what's really going on with mana species, are the elves and humans going to war again? and so on" Hoddurt replied.

"Do you understand the elven language?" Moku asked.

"I only know a few words. But he has trouble speaking" Hoddurt replied.

"Oh" Moku just nodded slowly.

They arrived at what looked like a cell with iron bars bordering the rooms it contained.

"This is a cell room, in this place we imprison naughty goblins or dangerous wild animals. At first this place was only used to confine animals that we would eat later, but gradually its function was also used as a prison" Hoddurt explained.

Moku again nodded slowly, when he wanted to ask Hoddurt something, a scream for help was heard from inside the cell.

"Waaahhhh!!! Please!! Release me!! I have no intention of betraying the goblins!! That bastard orc forced me!! I'm just a victim!! Waaah!!!"

Hoddurt and Moku looked at each other, they both seemed to be reminded of someone they had forgotten.

With quick steps they immediately approached the source of the sound.

Inside the cell was a goblin who was curled up and in tears. Even though he could see in the dark, the quiet and cold atmosphere of the cell could still make goosebumps.

"Hu..hu...hu...hu... I'm innocent, I just want to help the goblins!! That bastard orc tricked me!! MOKUUUU!!! I'll get back when we meet!!" Ez cursed while crying.

"Ez!! What are you doing here?" Moku said.

"That voice!? Moku? MOKUUUU!!!! You bastard! What's a diplomat huh?? I'm even in prison!! You made me betray my tribe!! Get me out of here!! I want to fight 20 rounds with you!!" Ez shouted angrily.

"20 rounds of what? you won't even last a second if you fight with him" Hoddurt uttered Ez's angry expression.

"Shaman Hoddurt? Why are you with these orcs?!! Have they conquered our tribe?? Oh no!! What sin have I committed!!" Ez's screams grew louder.

"Shut The Fuck Up!! We've joined the orcs and Moku is already the leader of our tribe! There's no fighting at all. We join voluntarily! Just like our ancestors joined the orcs to turn myths into reality!" Hoddurt puffed out his chest proudly.

Ez gaped and was unable to keep his mouth shut anymore. "Shaman Hoddurt what exactly happened!! Am I dreaming? Am I dead?" Ez stared blankly.

Hoddurt became furious, why did the younger generation of goblins have such stupid goblins.

When he wanted to scold Ez, Moku patted him on the shoulder and said "Shaman Hoddurt we should let Ez go first, the explanation can be done later. So where is the elf prison you said?"

"Oh,, I'm sorry KuMoku. Let's forget about this stupid goblin, the elf prison is here" Hoddurt showed a prison not far from Ez prison.

Moku nodded and said "I can go there myself, you better get Ez upstairs before he completely loses his mind" Moku pointed at Ez who was still gaping in disbelief.

His big eyes and wide mouth made his stupid look even more stupid. Hoddurt was getting more and more furious to see him but he swallowed his anger and nodded to Moku.

Moku walked away from Hoddurt who was holding back his anger and Ez who was still gaping with his mouth wide towards the prison cell that Hoddurt pointed to.

Inside, an elf is seen lying motionless. At first Moku thought he was dead, but upon closer inspection, the elf's chest was slowly rising and falling.

Moku opened the unlocked cell door and sat down. This elf is a woman, a wood elf, like other wood elves she has smooth white skin.

From her skin she looks young, maybe she used to have a very beautiful face just like the other wood elves. But right now... Moku didn't even know where to start.

There are lumps on the back of the neck and forehead. Most likely the bump on the forehead caused a crack that spread to the eye socket and made her blind.

Her nose was bent and broken, making it difficult for her to breathe and it would hurt every time she inhaled and exhaled.

All of her teeth were extracted and his gums were blackened, her lower jaw was forced wide open and caused it to fall out of place. This is most likely due to a blunt object being forced into the esophagus many times.

Most of the nobles did not like sex slaves with teeth, because there was a possibility that the slave would bite his dick off.

Even if they didn't, they would still pull out all their teeth for fear of the sex slave biting their tongue to kill themselves.

The tongue is also cut smoothly by a sharp object, the cut is so clean that it doesn't cause infection or cut the veins on the tongue.

Cut the victim's tongue without making the victim die from bleeding. A job that only someone who is used to doing it can do.

Both of his long ears were given iron piercings that pulled the flesh down. There are bite marks everywhere, most likely the tips of his ears were bitten off before being reattached.

After examining her face, Moku's gaze dropped to the ground and saw her upper body which was not in much worse condition than her head.

Her neck was covered with human bite marks that stuck to it leaving a dry scar.

However, judging from the damaged skin, it can be seen that this scar does dry not long ago from a rotting state filled with pus. Most likely Hoddurt treated her with some potion until the wound dries up.

Several of her ribs were fractured which also caused more pain every time she inhaled and exhaled. There were cuts everywhere, including the marks from a blunt object that had caused her chest to turn blue.

In addition, her right nipple looks like it has been cut, but from the scars left on her areola, this cut is due to a very hard bite, so that the flesh and skin are torn.

She had bruises on her stomach from being hit by a blunt object. Looks like she was hit multiple times from the outside and from the inside. Moku didn't want to imagine what object was forced into her stomach, which of course wouldn't be inserted through the mouth.

When Moku wanted to check her lower body, she woke up, probably from the nightmare she was having.

If it wasn't for her chest rising and falling, Moku might have thought he was examining a pile of corpses.

She looks calm and does not struggle, opening her eyelids which are covered with scars, Moku sees green eyes that are now white, indicating that this elf is blind.

She tried to open her mouth to speak but all that came out was an 'ergghh' sound from her throat being crushed and her tongue being cut off.

"You just need to think about it strongly then I will listen it" Moku connected his telepathy with her.

She looked shocked, it seemed she was also deaf from the shattered eardrum.

When she could hear his voice clearly again, there was a hint of happiness from her tired heart but it was extinguished again as a result of the cruel reality.

"Who are you?" there was a soft and calm voice in Moku's mind. She didn't sound panicked, just a little curious about the touch of this figure in front of her.

Moku felt a strong beating from his heart.

"My name is Moku, I'm your salvation!" Moku sends a sense of calm and security through his telepathy.

"Am I dead?" She asked.

"Why do you think so?" Moku replied with a question.

"Because only by death will I be saved" She replied.

Moku again sends a sense of calm and security through his telepathy.

"You're not dead yet, but you can choose to die. I'm giving you two choices!

Dead!

Or

Life!

You can choose one of them!"
