My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 25 – Looking for Solutions
“Where did you get this Goblin blood My Lord?” Baron Yorda could not help his curiosity.
“Yes ... Yes ... Where did you get this blood, did you manage to kill them, how many there are? What they will ..”
“Pacify yourself Lathias!” Baron Simon spoke a little high, a moment the atmosphere returned to silence “Now you can begin your explanation My Lord” Baron Simon looked towards Richard.
“Thank you” Richard nodded his head towards Baron Simon “I will start from a few days ago I received a letter explaining where Heaven Sun lotus is located, as you know that I need those flowers for my daughter's development”
“I was going to go check the location myself, but due to the many jobs waiting, I ended up asking the Adventurers Union for help, in this case Leader Warren and the other adventurers, to investigate and harvest the flower.”
“The blood of this Goblin was brought directly by Warren from the place indicated by the letter, for more details, let's just listen directly from Warren” leader Richard pointed to Warren who began to look rather calm.
Now all gazes turned towards Warren and the other adventurers.
‘So this is the intent of the apology that Mr. Richard said’ thought Warren.
“Yes right, we are the ones who brought the blood, previously we did not know that the liquid is the blood of Goblin until now”
“At that time we also suspected that the place shown was much different from the usual information where the flower was located, the location indicated by a letter in the form of a stone cave with a neighborhood that smelled amis”
“Because we were curious to try the cave lips, and what we got was a scene in the form of splashes of green liquid along the cave floor and a pungent fishy smell, which is very pleasant, we did not see the end but as long as our eyes looked, we saw that green liquid was still there”
“At that time I got a bad feeling, therefore I took some of the liquid, and ordered the other adventurers to immediately leave the cave”
“Wise choice” George says softly.
“Ya” Sir Davos chimed in George's remarks.
“It looks like Sir George has some information, can you share it with us” Baron Trixie who from earlier was silent began to be interested in seeing George's calm attitude.
“Ah I mean, Mr. Warren has made the right choice, because as far as I know these Goblins used to live in the cave – rocky caves, because, and if the circumstances as Mr. Warren tells us, the possible number of Goblins exceeds the number of tens, if Mr. Warren goes deeper, maybe now he is not here” George share his knowledge.
Hearing the words of George inevitably Warren with his flock swallow, fortunately they believe in Warren's instinct.
“Yes what Sir George said is true, I also do not want to admit it but in view of the many blood spills in the cave, he said, I can mention that Mr. Warren has found the Goblin” lair Sir Davos also shared his thoughts.
“Where is the cave located?” Unable to control himself yet, Baron Lathias asked frantically.
The panic of Baron Lathias was quite understood as he had just had a gold mine in the inner area forest, and for someone who valued treasures more than his life, he said, of course Baron Lathias was very depressed by the existence of these Goblins.
“Just east of Behemoth City, for its own distance I could not estimate it, because when we came home we walked leisurely while looking for some quarry, and about 6 hours later we arrived at the boundary of the deep forest that we set, but if we hurry at least we need about three hours more” said Warren.
“No, don't tell me the cave is in Stone Mountain Rock!!” Jerit Lathias's.
“Yes the cave is indeed on the mountain” Warren was surprised to see the frustrated gaze of Baron Lathias, “Don't tell me the mine owned by Mr Lathias is also there?”
Baron Lathias did not respond to her, Baron Lathias just sat down with his eyes turned back, not trusting the information he had just received.
“True, the mine of Baron Lathias is on the mountain.” Baron Yorda shook his head giving an explanation, he knew as clearly as day about the mining information belonging to Lathias.
Hearing Baron Yorda's words, everyone immediately looked towards Baron Lathias with complex gazes.
“Lathias what are you doing!!” Baron Simon growled at Lathias who was still pensive “Call your subordinates immediately and order them back to town!!”
“I ..”
After hearing Richard's explanation, Lathias soon realized that the possibility was true, because otherwise his subordinates had long since informed the existence of the Goblins. likewise the guests present all thought the same as Lathias.
“You are right My Lord, then allow the servant to resign first, as for whatever decision of this meeting, I will fully support the agreement with” Baron Lathias then stand bowed.
“Yes please Baron Lathias, the sooner the better, immediately order them back” Richard supports Baron Lathias' decision.
Hearing Richard's approval, Lathias immediately said goodbye and rushed out of the Mansion back towards his residence.
Meanwhile, those who were still in the meeting room still had some complicated expressions on their faces.
“I don't think there's any more doubt about the existence of these Goblins, now's the time to discuss what steps we should take to overcome them?” Richard again emphasized the purpose of their meeting.
“Yes you are right, but this matter is too big for us to handle on our own, my advice involves also the rulers of the city next door, and the kingdom, and the kingdom, and I asked Baron Lim's condolences to inform the empire of this news, how is Baron Lim?” Baron Simon was the first to speak.
“It ... ” Baron Lim shows his doubts.
“Why Baron Lim would you not help us?” Yorda began to raise her tone, feeling offended by Baron Lim's attitude.
“Relax Baron Yorda, we first listen to the explanation of Baron Lim” Trixie trying to calm the situation “please Baron Lim express the reason of your doubt” Trixie smiled.
“Hah ..” Baron Lim sighed heavily “Not that I don't want to help, I also know the severity of the threat from these Goblins, and I will also definitely report it, but what I'm trying to say is I hope we all don't have much hope for imperial help, because they're also dealing with their own problems, I fear that they will only let these Goblins be taken care of by the related kingdom”
“What problems are more important than human survival?!” Baron Yorda immediately burst out in anger hearing Baron Lim's explanation.
Meanwhile Baron Simon and Richard just shook their heads, realizing there was no point in them blaming Baron Lim.
“Relax Yorda, Baron Lim only expressed his opinion, it is meaningless for you to be angry with him, he said, Baron Lim can't do anything either - what” Baron Simon mediates “But I hope you keep reporting this matter to the empire.” Baron Simon remained to his first speech.
“For sure, I will definitely report the threat of these Goblins to Empire” Baron Lim agreed to Baron Simon's request.
Hearing Baron Lim's promise, Yorda sat back down trying to calm herself down.
“I agree with Baron Simon settings, but any other suggestions?” Richard returned to direct the meeting.
“I have a suggestion my lord” George speak up.
“Please”
“Well besides we contact the city – city or kingdom, we also can not let the Behemoth City Rakyat in danger, considering that help from the nearest city only takes about a day, because the, that is if they immediately answer the call, and move quickly, then my advice is to secure the evacuation route and start evacuating for the people who can not fight”
“Yes you're right, Mr. George, I agree with his proposal to secure an evacuation route, but isn't it too soon for us to start evacuating, I fear this will only create panic in our own people” Baron Trixie gives her response.
“Do you have any better suggestion Baron Trixie” Richard turned his gaze towards Trixie.
“In my opinion, we should guard the border between the outer forest and the inner forest, and send some Assassins to guard and pay attention to the movements of these Goblins, if it is true that they will indeed invade, it will not be too late for us to evacuate immediately, in my proposal the adventurer guild will be placed in the cutting edge of the forefront, how Mr. Warren”
“I also thought of the same thing, as Baron Trixie said, we adventurer guilds also intend to form a defensive line on the forest border, in order to keep an eye on these Goblins, rest assured sir, as long as these Goblins make a move, I will tell him” immediately
“Bagus”
