[ New Mission ]
[ Difficulty: A+ ]
[ -> Lead the goblins for the mission ]
[ -> Conquer the Kingdom of Loria ]
[ Reward: Find Aella ]
[ Time Limit: 10 days ]
The reason why he accepted their request was the mission that popped up. It clearly said that the reward was finding Aella. Not only would this reward help him clear another mission, which was left behind whose reward was basically nothing, it would also give him what he desired.
Enough was enough after all he had been finding and running all over this entire time.
He had no reason to go here and there anymore. All he had to do was think rationally and that way he would be able to find Aella quickly and thanks to the mission, it would be much easier.
The goblins were also wanting Shin to lead them, and if that were to happen, there was a chance that they would end up being loyal to him. That way, he would get more companions and would be smoothly able to build a large clan which may turn into a kingdom too.
"Thank you master!!!" - all the goblin mages shouted with all their voice.
Other goblins who had come out also heard this and only ended up bowing with a sense of relief. That was because they finally had someone powerful that was going to lead them. It was normally believed that wolves or any other beasts were smarter than goblins which also reassured them.
"I need some time to think so can you leave us alone?", Shin asked while referring to the one and only goblin mage that he knew.
Others understood this immediately and withdrew from the position. They demanded other goblins to re-enter the caves.
This was to ensure that they would talk freely. The goblins did as they were told and within a few seconds, everyone vanished from the site.
"Master, is something wrong?", the goblin mage asked.
Shin sighed first and then turned towards him, "You all dragged me into your mess..."
"Do you really think that I will be alright?", Shin asked.
The goblin mage grit his teeth when he heard Shin say that. He was saying the truth since that's what was planned to be done from the beginning.
If it wasn't Shin, then they would have dragged someone else!
"Master, we were actually hiding a few things from you. Please listen...", it seemed like the goblin mage wanted to reveal some more matter to Shin.
"Ya?"
"Actually, miss Aella had ended up coming here earlier in search of you.", the mage said.
"Ha!?"
"She came here!?", Shin shouted all of a sudden.
"Yes...", the mage nodded.
"But why would she come here?", he asked right away.
"Well, I believe that was because she couldn't find you in the home. She muttered these words when we asked her."
Shin understood what the goblin was trying to say. Aella would have definitely come back to check on Shin if he was near their den, however, he had left earlier, probably towards Levonia.
Despite having a great sense of smell, Aella couldn't sniff Shin out since his scent might blend depending on circumstances. Thus, unlike Shin, her sense of smell was a bit less due to which she failed to follow the exact path that Shin took.
Even the recent rain might have changed the sense of smell causing problems and nothing more.
Whatever, Shin had now decided to fulfill the mission and add the goblins into his kingdom.
"I see, was there anything else that she said?", Shin asked.
"Uh..."
"No, she stayed here for two hours in total and then went away."
"Went away?", Shin asked with surprise.
"Yes, when she was here, another wolf who was black colored came here."
"Probably he came in search of Aella.", the mage said.
'Someone came in search of Aella?'
"Hmm..."
"Alright then, I will be back.", after saying this, Shin started to walk towards the said human kingdom.
Of course, the goblin mage knew how strong Shin was, but he still had yet to completely trust him. After seeing him sigh again and again, the mage thought that Shin would end up trying to escape because of this, he asked to tag along.
"Is it fine if I join you?", he asked.
Shin had no problem with that, it would be fine to allow the goblin to tag along because he wasn't thinking about escaping.
Yes, he could do well without running away. Now all he wanted was to validate or get some info regarding the kingdom. He temporarily stopped thinking about the wolves and other things related to Aella.
As long as she is alive, he can find her anytime - that's what he started to think and the confidence came from the reward that was displayed by the system.
'System, give me the specifics about the mission.'
'Ding'
[ Aim of the mission: Lead the goblin army and conquer the kingdom of Loria ]
[ The goblin army has lost its leader recently when some adventures from Loria barged into their lands and hunted them to complete quests ]
[ As a result, 35 goblins died including 1 goblin mage and 1 goblin general ]
'I see...'
[ Leading the goblins will lead to the boosting of followers and addition of the members to the Clan Lou Shin ]
[ The kingdom of Loria has 3.5M gold coins worth ]
[ The estimated land area is 390 square miles with 30 villages ]
[ Each village has approximately 250 humans living ]
[ Human population is estimated to be 7500-8000 ]
[ Total population is estimated to be 24000-30000 ]
That was all that the system provided him. The total estimation of the population, the land, and riches - well, that's what he needed to know to begin with. However, he wanted a little more details regarding their military strength.
But Shin forgot to ask that at the moment because he was confused with the total population and human population.
So instead of asking about military strength, he asked, 'Why is the total population greater than the human population?'
'Did you really count the plants living there?'
