Alice who witnessed the group's arrival from the projection crystal, instructed Amara to activate a teleportation trap to bring them to the throne room.
There would be no problem if it was just goblins, but humans were among them as well, this was a very strange sight.
Besides goblins numbered around 50 people, that was quite a number for one group.
Goblins have a habit of making small groups of about 10 to 20 people to find food or secure the area around their village.
But the group of goblins currently appearing in the labyrinth does not look like a group of hunters or a defense group but like a group of escapees who managed to escape destruction. Just like the Raluk group before.
And the problem here is why there are humans who gather in the group of goblins who are on the run.
the humans also looked even more shabby and dirty than the goblins.
when they arrived at the throne room, Conley involuntarily closed his nose due to the terrible smell coming out from their bodies.
While Amara who usually has a flat face without expression, currently looks tormented.
He narrowed his eyes and tried to ignore their body odor.
Conley knows what his girlfriend is feeling right now.
Although goblins also have an unscented body odor, but the body odor of goblins is at least not as bad as they are.
As they passed through the large door and entered the Throne room, the goblins standing in the front row of the group spoke.
"We came here because we were invited by Mr. Dastin"
The goblin prostrated himself on the floor and said the intent of his arrival to this labyrinth.
Perhaps he was the leader of this group of goblins because the equipment he wore was much better than the other goblins.
In addition, he also carried a stick and wore some bone accessories on his body, he was probably a Shaman.
Following their leader the other goblins also prostrated on the floor.
Conley who heard the goblin sound was quite surprised. He did not expect that the goblin leading the group was a female goblin.
Goblins have very strict hierarchies, the men usually will not allow women to lead.even if they have a stronger power than the men.
In addition to the goblins, women are only in charge of giving birth and caring for newborn children.
If not for his voice, Conley might have thought of the goblin as a man. Not many people could distinguish the gender of a Goblin from just their outer appearance.
but if considered carefully, she does have a body shape that looks more feminine compared to others.
“Build"
The goblin raised his head after hearing the order from the girl in front of him.
He saw the girl smiling and greeted her kindly.
"introduce, my name is Alice, the master of this labyrinth. What's yourname?"
“A, I'm called Sugar. ”
“Why did you decide to come here? tell me, Sugar. ”
In a pleasant voice, Alice asked softly.
When Conley saw how Alice was trying to imitate her brother's speaking style, she ignored him and focused on keeping an eye on this strange group.
“When our village was attacked by humans, Mr. Dustin came and helped us. At that moment he told us about this Underground Labyrinth.
I hate being bullied by humans !! I hate the humans who destroyed the village and killed our family! I was tired of running around here and there to avoid chasing the enemy. Please, help us!"
"that's what it looks like, so you're asking us for protection.
It's not that I can't help you. However, what can you offer us? "
"we will be whatever you want us to be, even if you ask us to be a meat shield on the battlefield, we are ready to do it! But please at least save some of us"
"hehh... But we already have a lot of goblin troops at the moment.I'm not sure if adding you guys to the army can increase our strength"
Hearing Alice's words, Sugar felt desperate. He prostrated himself back on the ground and begged Alice while banging his head on the floor.
Alice seemed to be enjoying the current situation, she seemed to be having fun playing with the goblin's feelings. Conley who witnessed this had a complicated expression on his face.
He wanted to say something, but refrained from doing so.
"alright, look at your sincerity. I decided to accept you under our protection. As long as you work well, we will pay you a fair fee. If you die fighting for us, we'll help you take revenge."
After hearing Alice's reply, Sugar raised her head with a happy smile on her face. His forehead looked bloody at the moment, probably because he had banged his head quite hard earlier.he did not care about the pain he was feeling at the moment.
"Thank you, thank you very much. We promise not to disappoint you, Mr. Alice"
Following his chairman, the other goblins also expressed their gratitude to him.
Currently Alice looks very happy because she has gained additional troops to guard the labyrinth.
Conley who had been silent started talking.
"I congratulate you for joining us.
Amara, please take them to where the goblins live. Your name is Gula. . , if you have questions about accommodation and some other things you don't understand, just ask the goblins who live there."
"No, Sugar will stay here, I still have some questions I want to ask her. So Amara, take care of them all ~”
Hearing the orders from Alice, Amara silently nodded and led the goblins out of the throne room. Leaving sugar and the human group behind.
When the goblins are gone. Alice turned her gaze to the remaining group of humans.
They are 7 people.
They have a scary appearance. With scars on their faces and bodies, as well as weapons that seemed to have been used for a long time, it added to the evil impression they had.
Their bodies also look muscular which indicates that they often train and are used to fighting to survive.
Ever since they entered the room, their attention had only been on the treasures adorning the throne room. They ignored Alice who was sitting on her throne.
Seeing that these people were completely ignoring her, Alice finally started talking to them.
"Then, who are you?"
"We are members of the Mercenaries group, called [Rotten Fengs]"
The person who seemed to be the representative of the group, came forward and replied.
She had dark brown matted hair that seemed to have not been washed for several days.In addition half of her face was covered with tattoos that added a wild impression on the man.
It seemed like he had been given special treatment within the group, as He wore better equipment than the others.
As she heard the man's reply, Alice recalled the information Conley had shared with her.
'mercenary soldiers !? there shouldn't be a group of Mercenaries around here other than that seeing from their shabby appearance clearly they are bandits'
"Why are you with Sugar?"
“We met them outside the forest. Seeing they are in trouble, we took the initiative to help them and control them until here”
"Are they threatening you?"
After hearing the man's reply, Alice turned her attention to Sugar and asked him.
Sugar had an awkward expression on her face and looked troubled, but she slowly nodded.
Seeing Gula's reaction, the man immediately shouted and cussed at Gula with an angry expression.
"you slandered us. Don't listen to them, they lied. When we first met, they looked so pathetic. They asked us for help.
Out of pity, it was hard for us to refuse his request.
You, stop lying.didn't we protect you like we promised? ”
“Whatever sweet words you say. In my ears, it still sounds like a threat. Are you trying to fool me? ”
