|?!?!?| She was a little taken aback by his answer. She had expected him to answer with the same plain 'No', like all the previous times she asked him.
However!
She was beyond elated to hear that they had finally begun to near their destination!
O-Of course, she knew of such a thing already, but she just wanted him to say it himself
Yeah, that was definitely it!
It wasn't because she was too caught up in his voice to bother scanning her surroundings or a-anything like that! Definitely not
|...| A slightly guilty look appeared on her expression as she snuggled her lewd body even deeper into his body, attempting to escape the daunting gaze of Azmond.
"... This girl is seriously-" He began before he was suddenly interrupted.
"What girl?" A dangerous yet melodic voice dripped into his right ear like the most poisonous of honey.
He turned his gaze to the right, only to see two sharp green eyes staring him down.
"... I was trying to say that 'This Girl that I love so much is seriously the most beautiful woman to ever grace the face of this planet~,'" He spoke such words with a straight face as he returned her intense stare without flinching.
"... Really? You think I'm pretty?" She mumbled in a meek voice with a flushed expression.
"..."
That worked?!?
He lightly shook his head before focusing on the now-shy beauty.
"Well, of course, My Dear. You are so very pretty~ So beautiful that I would get lost in that appearance of yours if I'm not careful~," He whispered such words into the naive beauty's small ears while blowing a little into them.
"Mhmff~ A-Azmond, not now~!" A muffled moan escaped her red lips as her mind immediately went to the gutter!
She automatically expected such a seductive action from Azmond to lead to something much more 'stimulating'.
The suspicious liquid leaking out of her robes was evidence enough of that fact.
**Sniff Sniff**
He sniffed the air and smelled something sweet permeating his senses
His entire back became a mangled, bloody mess, as there was no skin left to speak of.
**Thud thud**
That was when the heavy footsteps of the one who inflicted such injury upon the man appeared in view.
It was a 7-foot-tall goblin with the same ugly features as the rest of them, the only difference between it and the others being that this one's face became a little stretched due to its larger size.
It wore the same dirtied and tattered 'clothes' as the rest of the surrounding goblinsgoblins who were currently sneering and maliciously laughing at the pained screams of the now-dying human.
"Feed this one to the newborns; it is a useless one." The goblin with the whips' gruff and disgusting-sounding voice lashed out as his large, green hands waved forward, almost as if calling someone.
**Step Step**
A few footsteps resounded out as a few goblins in similar attire, around 5 feet tall, approached the wailing figure of the half-dead, mangled human in chains.
They proceeded to cut the chains with their sharp nails before grabbing the human like a bag of meat.
They subsequently disappeared into a random direction of the bustling streets, presumably bringing that human to 'feed the newborns'...
**Thud Thud**
The larger goblin, who had whipped that man half to death, backed away from the scene before heading back to his post.
...
"..." Azmond watched such an event with a dead expression.
Following such a stolid observation was the release of his deep and apathetic voicea voice that came out in a tone colder than ice: "It looks like I have my next quest."
He spoke such words with indifference as he gazed at the flashing notification screen that popped up in front of him.
*Ding!* *New Active Quest!*
*Thoroughly 'Clean out' the goblin kingdom known as 'GoblinHaven' within 3 days*
....
"What 'Quest' are you talking about, Azmond?" Crystalline asked with a puzzled look on her face.
'Oops...' He accidentally let that slip
