Final Volume Genesis Chapter 014: Troublesome Goblin
Goblin Slayer, it’s a very fucked up world.
Because this worldview is extremely unpleasant.
A long, long time ago, the gods of light, order, and fate, and the gods of darkness, chaos, and chance, decided not to fight each other, but to roll the dice to decide which side would rule the world.
Time and again, the gods rolled the dice, causing chaos and confusion.
However, there are always winners and losers, and no matter how long the competition lasts, the winner cannot be determined.
Soon, the gods got tired of just rolling dice, so they created all kinds of living creatures and the world they lived in as chess pieces and chessboards.
Mortals, forest people, miners, gardeners, lizardmen, goblins, trolls, and demons.
They go on adventures , sometimes win, sometimes lose, sometimes find treasure, sometimes find happiness, and one by one die.
The gods watched these processes and felt joy, sorrow, laughter and tears.
Once upon a time, the gods began to look forward to the activeness of the chess pieces, and sincerely loved the world and them. Although sometimes they failed because the numbers rolled by the dice were too bad, but that was another matter.
Just from the worldview of this world, we can tell that this is a world without freedom.
Whether they are humans, forest people, miners, monsters, or demons, there is no freedom to speak of.
They are always pawns in the hands of the gods.
The gods control them and make these forests reincarnate again and again. Tell me, is this world fucked up?
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the Demon King.
This thing is the leader of the demons that pose a great threat to the world.
Even if it is destroyed again and again, it will still appear in this world and will never be completely destroyed, because this is decided by the gods.
The gods decide the birth of the Demon King by rolling dice.
Even heroes, sword masters, and sages were born by rolling dice.
Besides the annoying gods, there is another thing worth complaining about in this world.
That's what humans call it.
For example, the protagonist's nickname in the plot is Goblin Slayer, so others call him that too, and Goblin Slayer's real name never appears once.
This is true for everyone except the protagonist Goblin Slayer.
The counter girl is the counter girl, the priestess is the priestess, Goblin Slayer's childhood sweetheart is called Cowherd Girl, and his companions are the Fairy Archer, the Miner Taoist, and the Lizard Monk.
As for their real names, readers have no idea.
This is very similar to the Demon King and Hero World.
In this world of Demon King and Hero, the Demon King is called Demon King, the hero is called Hero, and the heroes' friends are called Female Knights, Female Magicians, and so on.
Emiya didn't know how to complain.
At first, Emiya thought that these two works were written by the same author, but later he found out that it was not the case at all.
After understanding the world he was in, Emiya couldn't help but glance at the priestess of the Earth Mother Cult.
If he remembered correctly, the priestess of the Earth Mother Cult should be the first companion of Goblin Slayer.
She's the heroine of the story.
And the conversation she just had with the counter lady seemed to be the beginning of the story.
Next, the priestess will meet a new team of adventurers, and then follow them to fight the goblins, but they will be wiped out in the process.
In the end, only the priestess survived.
The reason why this priestess survived was not because of her great strength, but because she met the Goblin Slayer.
As expected, when Emiya registered as an adventurer, Priestess did meet a team.
The captain of this team is a young swordsman.
There were two girls behind the swordsman. One of them had her hair tied up and was wearing a combat uniform, looking very competitive. The other was a girl wearing glasses and holding a cane, looking at him with a cold gaze.
If nothing unexpected happens, one of them is a fighter and the other is a magician.
Emiya remembered that after the team encountered the goblins, the swordsman and the magician died.
The fighter girl was ravaged by the goblins and lost all her faith. She had no choice but to return to her hometown as a fledgling adventurer and give up her plan to become an adventurer.
After all, this world is extremely cruel.
After a while, Emiya and his group completed the registration and became porcelain-level adventurers.
This team, which had absorbed the priestess, came to register with the counter lady with the mission of hunting goblins.
Seeing this, the lady at the counter couldn't help but frowned, "Excuse me...you guys are planning to go in groups of four, right?"
After receiving a positive answer from the other party, the lady at the counter could not help but say, "I think, if we wait a little longer, there should be other adventurers coming..."
However, the young swordsman did not take the counter lady's worries to heart at all. "Aren't four people enough to deal with monsters like goblins?"
In the eyes of many people, goblins are weaklings.
Basically, fledgling adventurers start out by fighting against other adventurers.
In most worlds, goblins are indeed weak, but in this world, goblins are unexpectedly difficult.
In addition to ordinary goblins, there are also big goblins, goblin shamans, goblin cavalry, goblin heroes, goblin kings, goblin paladins, and more.
Yes, you read that right.
There are also paladins among the goblins. When Emiya first discovered this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
This Goblin Paladin is extremely intelligent and can make good use of armor, cloaks and other protective gear. He learned swordsmanship in battles with adventurers, and his sword and shield skills are no less than those of human knights.
In the original plot, he used the Snow Mountain Fortress as his lair and led a large number of goblins, making him a rather difficult guy.
The Goblin Hero is a mid-level individual of the Goblin. Those that survive long enough will grow and become larger, stronger, and more dangerous than the Goblins, but their intelligence is not much improved.
However, due to his extensive experience in battle, his strength is higher than that of silver-level adventurers.
That's already amazing.
You should know that among the ten levels of adventurers, the highest level is platinum, followed by gold, silver and bronze.
In other words, Goblin Heroes are monsters second only to Platinum and Gold levels, and more powerful than Silver level adventurers.
This kind of monstrous adventurer is no match at all.
This shows how difficult goblins are.
This is also the reason why the lady at the counter persuaded the young swordsman, because in her opinion, if these fledgling white porcelain adventurers encountered a group of goblins, they would really...
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll go with you."
The young swordsman couldn't help but look back at Emiya and refused without hesitation, "The four of us are enough."
