The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Deep inside the Goblin Lair, Scholar Elodie is still talking to the other captured women, trying to gain more information about them.

One of the conscious women resisted too fiercely and was controlled by a paralyzing drug. She was unable to move freely and refused to speak.

She stared at the goblins with hatred every day, with only hatred and coldness in her eyes.

Elodie had tried to communicate with her, but was met with hatred and icy cold stares.

Elodie knew that once the paralysis wore off, the woman would pounce on them and try to kill every goblin, even herself.

She guessed that perhaps it was because the woman's relatives died in the goblin's raid that caused the irreconcilable hatred in her heart.

Faced with such a situation, any consolation might become an insult to her, so Elodie felt helpless and could only silently hope that time could dilute her resentment.

After walking to the cave entrance to get some fresh air, Elodie took a while to recover. This deep-rooted hatred was a great shock to her, and she felt depressed as if she was wearing a heavy shackle.

……

Next, the female scholar found a woman named Theresa, who was one of the "predecessors" in this nest.

Theresa's appearance is considered outstanding in the nest, but she is always unknown and lacks a sense of presence in her daily life.

When the female scholar found her, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the unfinished fabric of a garment in her hands.

Tereza was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a plump figure and long dark brown hair that fell on her chest.

The female scholar started chatting with her and learned that Theresa was the niece of a miller in the town.

The miller turned out to be a thief who specialized in selling stolen goods, but he did not show any special care to Tereza.

It turned out that Theresa had an experience that she could not bear to look back on.

Once, she and her boyfriend were having a tryst in the forest, but were unfortunately attacked by goblins.

Her boyfriend fled in fear, and Theresa was captured by the goblins and became a slave.

Despite this, Theresa did not resent her ex-boyfriend because he was, after all, only the son of a blacksmith, not a brave hunter or adventurer.

Like Emma, Sophie and others, Theresa does not have too many extravagant demands for her current life. She has long been accustomed to the days of being a goblin slave.

For her, having enough food and drink every day, wrestling has become her everything every day.

She is very happy that the food has improved recently, but she had no objection to eating coarse food before. She thought that ordinary food was good enough.

After all, she is a person who doesn't have too many demands.

Elodie curiously asked her if she felt unwilling to be captured and made a slave of the goblins.

Theresa was silent for a while, then shook her head gently:

"In fact, even if I were still at home, I would probably just marry a villager, have a few children, and then do housework every day, cooking, washing clothes, feeding livestock, doing farm work, etc. In fact, it's not much different from here..."

Her tone was calm, as if this was just a very normal thing.

For Theresa, life is just like this, without too many extravagant demands or too many complaints.

She just hopes to live happily here with other female companions, that's enough.

This simple and pure attitude towards life allows her to maintain inner peace and optimism in this world full of suffering and challenges.

If there is no threat to your life and you don't need to worry about hunger or labor, and you just enjoy yourself every day and do nothing, and you don't feel any pressure at all, you will indeed lose your fighting spirit and expectations for the future, and become muddle-headed, just eating and waiting to die.

The female scholar feels that most ordinary women would probably end up like this if they were to end up here.

Of course, except for those weird women, like Winnie...

In addition, Elodie suddenly discovered a phenomenon. She seemed to have never heard any woman here talking bad about other women behind their backs.

This was incredible, as she knew that it was difficult for women to develop true friendships.

Because of the conflicts caused by different social status, interests, and jealousy, although they will not fight or quarrel like men, they are more sensitive to each other and may make enemies with just one word.

Looking back, the reason why she spent money to move into a single room when she was in the academy was because there were six female students living in the free dormitory before, and there was almost no peace every day. The women were tit-for-tat, forming cliques, and although they did not get to the point of swearing at each other, they were not friendly at all. They would always start speaking coldly to each other for a small matter or a word, mocking and excluding each other.

But the women in this nest all get along very harmoniously and friendly.

The female scholar asked Winnie about this with doubt. The woman thought for a while before she smiled and gave her opinion:

"When women gather together, it's hard to get along."

Winnie: "But here, aren't we all slaves raised by the goblins? Without the identity of 'women', there won't be any conflicts or quarrels between us. After all, no one will be jealous of the goblins."

Winnie shook her head:

"I used to live in the capital, and I did need to be alert and careful when interacting with people. Now that I think about it, it's like living with a mask on. It's really tiring."

Adult life is full of hypocritical masks and lies. The female scholar thought about her previous setbacks in her job, which was also due to this.

I sighed and found something in common with Winnie.

……

During the exchanges during this period, almost every woman here would mention the female goblin Notis to the female scholar.

Elodie was impressed with her, a monster that behaved just like a human girl, in the entire lair, she and Alan were the only ones who walked upright, and they usually spoke in human language.

This sometimes makes people forget that she is the high priestess of the tribe, a powerful goblin.

In the descriptions of other women, Notice was a more serious masochist than Winnie, but also a kind sister, companion, and protector.

But in her several contacts with her, the female scholar only felt that she was a leader with a very high status in the nest. She seemed to be deeply trusted by the leader. She was also fierce and cruel, with an expressionless face, which made her quite afraid.

The female hunter Carola was away these days, and Notis was busy supervising, directing the goblins and pig-headed men to dig canals and excavate caves.

When the female scholar found her, Notis was using vine witchcraft to hang up and whip a goblin, and the goblin had been beaten to the point of bleeding.

When Elodie asked the reason, Notis simply said that it was because the hole was not dug straight enough.

Elodie couldn't help but shudder, and his fear of the goblin deepened a little.
