The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Not long after, the Crowned Dragon gradually calmed down and became docile. Corolla approached and stroked it without resistance.

Alan asked the two goblins who were accompanying him to make saddles out of vines, and then he and Corolla each rode a Crested Dragon back to the nest. Fortunately, the Crested Dragon was not fast, and the goblins who were accompanying him were able to keep up with it by running from behind.

After returning to the nest, Notis had directed the goblins to make two sled-style stretchers.

Seeing that the Corythosaurus captured by Alan and Corolla was much larger than expected, they made two wooden racks and tied them to the back of the Corythosaurus, which could be used for carrying cargo and riding.

After another busy day, the luggage is almost ready and Alan is ready to leave tomorrow.

The slaves and goblins had a good meal tonight. Instead of wrestling or playing cards, they all went to bed early.

As the sky gradually brightened, the old priest commanded a group of goblins to pack up various broken items and gathered all the slaves. It was time for the goblins to set off.

Alan suddenly realized that he did not see Notis. According to the perception of the Force, the priestess was still alone in the cave.

He came into the cave and saw Notis staying in the room where maggots and flies were raised. Because of the strong smell, no one was willing to go in here, even the goblins.

The priestess was half-kneeling on the ground with her back to the door, eyes closed, performing a prayer-like ritual.

Alan walked in and found the remains of the human female's body lying in the pit in front of the priestess.

The remains of the corpse were crawling with huge red-headed flies and green-backed flies. There was no skin on the head, revealing a brown skull. Several maggots were burrowing in the eye sockets. Only some rotten meat threads remained on the bones of the broken torso, which looked rather horrifying.

Notis felt Alan coming behind her and said:

"She is also a companion I brought with me from the old tribe. I am paying tribute to her."

Alan felt a little strange because goblins never had the custom of funerals or memorial ceremonies.

Allen: "Do goblin priests have shamanic rituals like the one just now?"

Notis smiled and nodded without answering. Alan did not ask either. After all, this kind of ceremony is meant to let people rest in peace. In this case...

After walking out of the cave with Notis, Alan waved his hand and used the Force to collapse the room, allowing rubble and soil to bury the bodies.

Allen: "According to human custom, after death, one will be buried underground and the soul will rest in peace."

Notis: "Soul..."

Notis shook her head, not knowing what she was thinking...

Next, a group of goblins left the cave with the human female slaves and headed towards the nest of the former Notis tribe.

The two women with limited mobility were placed in the wicker basket behind the crown dragon, and the other women followed on foot. Notis gave each woman a pair of boots made of jackal dragon skin. Although they were not very breathable, they were much better than walking barefoot in the forest.

The ceramic jars containing the dried meat and other sundries were placed on two "sleds". Because there were no wheels and there were a lot of things on them, even though the Corythosaurus was strong, it still had a hard time pulling them.

The dinosaur was pulling a "sled" alone, on which was placed the huge skeletal specimen of the Great Dire Jackal.

All other things were carried on the shoulders and backs of a group of goblins.

Corolla walked in front to lead the way, and cut down any trees that were in the way with his sword.

Notis was at the back of the team, and if she found any lazy goblins falling behind, she would go up and whip them with a rattan whip.

Alan is in the middle of the team to provide support. If they are suddenly attacked by wild beasts, he can protect the women in the middle of the team.

They trekked through the jungle for two days without encountering any danger. The smell of the dead jackal dragon made other wild animals dare not approach. During this time, there was only one coquettish bird that was peeking around nearby. It was stabbed in the butt by Dora's javelin and then turned around and ran away.

The last time I went there with Notis, we passed a cliff in the middle and used the Force to fly over it. But this time there were so many people and we had to take a longer detour. It would probably take two or three more days.

This time, the marching team did not march according to the goblins' schedule, but instead traveled during the day and rested at night.

Notis said that this would provide good visibility, allowing them to detect danger ahead in advance and avoid harassment from wild beasts that roam at night.

These days, after lighting a bonfire and eating every night, Allen asked the goblins to behave themselves.

When going to bed, take out the prepared meadow and have a good sleep so as not to affect the next day's itinerary.

After six days of trekking, the goblin team finally arrived at their new lair.

However, Alan and Notis unexpectedly discovered that the pig-headed men were currently living in the cave. They occupied a corner of the cave hall on the first floor and set up a simple camp at the entrance. It can be seen that this was a temporary nest hastily built and was in complete chaos.

Alan asked the team to stop outside the entrance of the cave. Carola was responsible for protecting the slaves, while he and Notis went in to explore first.

Although the pig-headed man is no longer a threat, we still have female relatives with us who have no fighting ability, so it is better to be cautious.

Before they entered the cave, several pig-headed men on guard discovered Doro and Notis. They put down their weapons and rushed over excitedly. Unfortunately, these pig-headed men were also the type with low IQs. After gesturing for a long time, they couldn't explain what was happening.

Allen: "Where is your leader? Where did the pig-headed captain go?"

Alan frowned and began to ask.

Pig-headed man: "Injured, dying, can't survive."

These pig-headed men pointed inside the cave, saying that their leader was dying.

Notis and Allen were both confused and followed the pig-headed sentry into the cave.

When they arrived at a tent woven with vines and leaves, the pig-headed captain was lying on the ground groaning, and it was unclear whether he was unconscious or sleeping.

There was a wound on his body, running from his left shoulder to his stomach. Although the wound looked quite long, after checking it, Notis found that it was only a flesh wound and the bleeding had already stopped. This pig-headed man had thick skin and flesh, and his bones were not injured at all.

Frowning, Notis thought for a moment and took out the "Recovery Honey Bug" she had collected earlier.

and "Endurance Thunderworm"

Make a potion and use witchcraft to heal this pig-headed man.

Although I don't like these pig-headed people, they are still my master's subordinates and I have some responsibility. I can't just watch them die in front of me, otherwise there won't be a single person in the entire pig-headed tribe who can communicate normally.

Green witchcraft light lit up on the pig-headed man's wound, and the damaged skin healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although dark brown scars were left behind, Notis's witchcraft was indeed magical, and the treatment was completed in the blink of an eye.
