The Rising Of The Mage

Chapter 11's

After receiving the Quest from Tonu both entered the Pati Alas, Yudi could not believe what he saw. This forest was not as he had expected.

He thought this Forest was just like his name Alas Pati which means Forest of Death. Which means there is no animal that can be found, but apparently many animals that he usually met there are in this place.

"I think the Pati Alas is a barren, arid forest, and there are no plants and animals. But it turns out this place is more fertile than I thought."

Hearing his Master say like that Goobu responded.

"Alas Pati is just the name of the people, not because this place is arid and so on. But because this forest is haunted, because there is a creature that controls it."

Sweat as big as corn dripped on Yudi's temple, it was because he was so sensitive to the topic that Goobu was discussing.

"So you're saying that there's a creature with great power and dominates this forest, is that it?"

Goobu nodded at his master's remark, he also actually knew that from the few guards who had caught him back then.

"Then we have to be careful!"

Saying that Yudi came forward to run the Quest he received, as well as helping the family of his slaves. They passed through bushes, crossed rivers, and searched for objects ordered by Tonu.

"What are the subtleties, Ginger Musculias and Ginseng Morbula?"

Gobu who got the question responded as his eyes also searched for the existence of the herbs mentioned.

"I don't know either, Sir!"

"Eh? So you don't know."

Shaken the Hobgoblin, looking at the Master. Wishing what was in his head, right now was an impossibility.

"Don't you know the shape of the plant? Because Master took the Quest?"

"Yes, that's a little wrong. I intend to help you out of pity, but when it comes to ginger what it is and the Ginseng I don't know."

Goobu's temple is now throbbing when it receives the answer. He could not believe that what was in his head was right.

'My master was moved to help people out of sympathy. If he continues to do that without thinking much, then maybe we will be in great danger later.'

Soon the Hobgoblins stopped their steps, seeing their slaves stop. Yudi immediately turned his body towards him.

"Is there a Goobu problem?"

The HobGoblin then looked at its master.

"My lord! I don't mean to mention us not knowing what we're looking for right now. But there's something to reset!"

"Refurbished," parrot Yudi.

"Yes!" Answer firmly Goobu.

The hobgoblin then processes the word, so that the meaning can be conveyed to the taunnya.

"Whoever needs help must be helped, but if only. What he's asking for is that we can't do, I hope you can consider not forcing yourself."

Yudi was stunned when he heard his slave's words, while Goobu had no intention of stopping his words.

"I know this might be something you can't accept. But if you try to do what you can't or can't do, later on we'll just meet death. Therefore promise me, that you will not take such a request again, my lord!"

A smile was engraved on Yudi's face, when he found out that his slave was so worried about him. Then he, too, welcomed what Goobu had said.

"You're really good huh, I'm glad to have taken you as my slave. I'm not helping him out of Goobu's sympathy, you're wrong if you assume I'm helping him because of that."

"I deliberately took it, because the Quest was one-way with our goal. If we get to your family, I'll have them find the herbs."

This time Goobu began to grasp the intent of his master, and he tried to explain what his master was trying to say.

"Does that mean sir, like dropping two birds with one stone?"

Hearing that Yudi concluded his lips, because his plan had been understood by his slave.

'When I want to explain, it seems like he is indeed a Goblin King.'

"The bottom line is that Quest Tonu is just a backup plan, because my main focus right now is to find the People of my friends."

Goobu could not believe that the Master was calling a friend, and she immediately denied.

"Friends? I'm your slave you know? As for my status as king of mosnter even as long as there is a slave seal on my chest then my status is that of a slave."

"So yeah, wanted it because of the slave seal. I don't care, you're my friend so don't make me repeat it okay."

Goobu's temple twitches when Yudi unilaterally mutilates ith. The Master had instead moved quickly forward, occasionally glancing right left to find the Morbula Ginseng and Musculias Ginger.

After passing through various places, they did not find any herbs requested by Tonu. But since it was only considered as a backup, they did not bother at all.

"In the end, none of them. Did that Tonu trap us?"

"Okay, but the most important thing is that we've arrived."

Yudi did not understand the intent of the words of his slave, it was because of where they were at this time. In front of a large stone mound, which was filled with moss and trees creeping through.

"What do you mean we've arrived?"

Hearing his master ask like that, Goobu did not immediately reply. He asked the question with a joke.

"Didn't you understand at all, what I just said, when it was clear!"

Yudi frowned, he used his brain to digest what the answer given by Goobu meant.

'Have we arrived? But I didn't see the cave door at all? Then why did he say we're here?'

Instead of finding a definite answer, Yudi instead found many questions popping up in his head at this time. So finally, he shrugged and his face grimaced for not understanding.

"I don't know what you mean?"

Goobu who heard the honest answer from her master, immediately nodded and replied steadily.

"We've arrived, where I told them to hide."

"Oh so!"

Just then Goobu looked gently at the mound of stone that was in front of them. Yudi who saw the direction of Goobu's gaze, immediately understood that the stone was the place but he still did not understand.

"Where is the entrance, where are your people?"

Slowly Goobu lowered his gaze and his hands clenched and trembled, The Hobgoblin did not want to explain the bitter truth from his mouth.

His throat seemed to be confused to convey this, but he did not want to lie to the master who had considered him a friend.

"The mounds of stones that are in front of us are my people, sir!" He said in a squeezed voice.
