The Romantic Life of a Goblin
Chapter 53 Corolla's Past
Because Alan and Corolla were going out hunting the next day, they went to bed early in each other's arms. Only by getting enough rest can they better face tomorrow's challenges.
The next day, before the sun set, Alan set out with Corolla and several goblin followers.
Before leaving, a group of women held Corolla's hands and told her to be careful. Alan's mother also kept reminding the child to be careful, which made Alan feel embarrassed.
The group walked along the stream in the direction where they had last seen the ferocious jackal dragon.
"By the way, Carola, I have a question for you."
On the way, Allen asked, "You said you were going to avenge your companion. Who is he? Is he your lover?"
Corolla shook her head and said, "No, he's just an ordinary teammate."
"Oh...then why do you have to avenge them?" Alan continued to ask.
"Actually... this is the rule of our industry."
Carola explained: "Generally speaking, there are very few couples or lovers among us adventurers and hunters, because this industry is too dangerous. You are always in danger and you may lose your life at any time. Therefore, most of the adventurers and hunters who first joined the army were young people who came out to explore the world.
"So this is ah……"
Alan nodded in understanding.
"Have you ever encountered any particularly dangerous missions before?"
"Of course!" Carola recalled, "I remember one time, we received a call..."
But they were companions after all, even though they had never had sex, but she knew that this man had always had feelings for her. Now that he had been killed by the fierce jackal dragon, she still hoped to avenge him if she could.
The group soon arrived at the place where the goblins had encountered the ferocious jackal dragon last time. Of course, the ferocious jackal dragon was no longer here, but there were several ordinary ferocious jackals running around and hiding.
According to Corolla, leather clothing is very popular in the human capital recently, so the prices of leather of Corythosaurus and Corythosaurus are rising. They came here last time to hunt for furs.
However, their target today was only the Great Ferocious Jackal Dragon, so Alan did not waste time attacking these ordinary beasts.
The few of them took a short rest here. Corolla, as a hunter, soon found traces of the great ferocious jackal dragon on the ground. Then, led by her, a group of goblins began to track and search through the woods.
The traces followed the stream intermittently and extended to a cave entrance. Several goblins found fresh feces of the Great Jackal nearby. Alan estimated that this was the nest of the Great Jackal, but through the perception of the Force, there were currently no living creatures in the cave. It seemed that the giant beast had gone out hunting and had not returned yet.
Corolla was a little hesitant. Her greatsword was restricted in such a narrow cave and it was difficult to exert its full strength, so she suggested that Alan set a trap and ambush at the entrance of the cave.
Alan was still a layman in hunting, so he naturally accepted the advice of professionals.
Next, Corolla asked the goblins to hide on the branches in the leeward direction to prevent their body odor from being detected by the prey, and then made a simple tripwire with vines and placed it at the mouth.
Unfortunately, there were not enough materials. Most hunters would use barrels of explosives to deal with such giant beasts, but she had a paralyzing potion made by Notis, which could be applied to the greatsword.
After some preparation, he hid in a tree with the goblin to rest and wait.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, the sky was about to dawn, but there was no sign of the ferocious jackal dragon.
Alan woke up from meditation and saw Carola squatting on the tree, looking a little nervous, so he simply pulled her to his side.
Corolla didn't resist, but was still a little shy.
With the war approaching, Alan only played around with her and didn't do anything out of line, but this made Corolla unexpectedly relax.
Alan whispered in Carola's ear, trying to understand her previous life in human society.
Corolla frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in her eyes, and said slowly: "I was born in a small town near the capital. My father is an ordinary carpenter, and my mother is from a village nearby."
Her voice was calm and gentle, yet faintly heavy.
Then, Carola continued to tell her story. Her mother used to be a female worker on a ranch nearby. She was hardworking and kind. She met her father and married him. They lived an ordinary and happy life.
However, fate always seems to be full of variables.
Carola developed a keen interest in martial arts at an early age and showed extraordinary talent.
She learned many skills from a retired old hunter in the town and gradually grew into an excellent hunter.
This decision changed the trajectory of her life and also led her to a challenging path.
According to Carola, one of the main reasons she left home to strike out on her own was the tight financial situation at home.
She has two younger brothers who are lazy despite their young age. They are unwilling to learn their father's carpentry skills and instead hang out with the bad boys in town.
Faced with such a situation, if Carola had not chosen to become a hunter, she might have been forced to marry an ordinary person or sold by her two younger brothers for money.
Thinking of this, Corolla couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In the past, she would save some from hunting, although it was not much, but she would ask the father-in-law to send it back to her parents.
But later he learned that all the money had been taken by his two younger brothers for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, so he became very angry and went back to teach those two hooligans a lesson.
With her Qingyu-level strength, dealing with these small-town thugs is a piece of cake for her.
But her parents favored boys over girls, and instead of seeking justice for her, they blamed her. This made her very angry, and she left home in a rage, and has not returned for more than a year.
The more Corolla thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and a little annoyed arose in his heart.
So, she quickly changed the subject and began to introduce Allen to the nearby human villages and towns. She described the food and entertainment there in vivid detail, and couldn't help but show off her past hunting experiences. Soon, her mood became cheerful...
As time passed, the sun gradually rose and the sky became brighter.
However, the ferocious jackal dragon was still nowhere to be seen.
Alan had no choice but to ask the goblins accompanying him to take out some dried meat and share it with everyone, and then they filled their stomachs together with the stream water.
Then they climbed up the tree again and continued to wait.
Corolla was not anxious. After all, as an excellent hunter, she had enough patience to wait for the prey to appear.
