Chapter 273: Goblin (3)

If the mornings were for training, the afternoons were dedicated to making all kinds of tools.

‘Kkansu is much smaller.’

Clang! matrix Clang! antique Clang!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

But Kkansu was much smaller, so it was inevitable that normal tools would be uncomfortable for him.

That’s why we could all share the same tools.

Everyone in our group, myself included, was about the same size.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

It was simply that, since they weren’t suited to his size, his efficiency at work decreased.

So I decided to make tools specifically for him.

It wasn’t that he lacked strength.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The answer was simple.

That way I could exploit him—I mean, make better use of his labor.

Someone might ask why I’d bother making custom tools.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

As I’d mentioned before, ever since we built the forge, our charcoal consumption had increased dramatically.

I’d even built a charcoal kiln to produce higher-quality charcoal.

Investing in a few tools was worth it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

‘No wonder charcoal burner is an actual profession.’

The process itself was simple.

The problem was that making charcoal was surprisingly complicated.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

You just had to prevent oxygen from getting in.

‘At least the axe is already finished.’

That’s why the kiln had to be monitored constantly and maintained from time to time.

The problem was that if you made even a small mistake, the wood would turn into ashes instead of charcoal.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Next, I’d make a shovel, a pair of tongs, a pickaxe, and other tools suited to his size.

However.

“I don’t know.”

“By the way, why is he doing that?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

No.

Very peculiar.

It happened right after I handed him a custom-made Mithrilcon axe. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

The way Kkansu behaved was a little.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

It was impossible to understand his behavior.

He used it a couple of times.

Then, all of a sudden, he knelt down and gave a deep bow.

On top of that, he started muttering something incomprehensible.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Lord Cain, didn’t you say you still couldn’t interpret Kkansu’s language?”

[It’s not as strange as it seems. ability Like I told you before, goblins are very intelligent monsters.]

“Praying?”

[Now that I know it’s a language, I’ll be able to translate it soon. aspect But at least I can tell you that he’s praying.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

They didn’t seem to have anything to do with the religions recorded throughout history.

That said.

As curious as it was, even monsters had religions.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

while carrying out human sacrifices.

Nor were they like the primitive tribes that shouted,

“Offer sacrifices to the gods!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

No one knew what kind of god the goblins worshipped or how they performed their prayers.

According to Cain, however.

Those tribes, at the very least, were intelligent enough to give their gods names and imagine what they looked like.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

That’s why people merely speculated that perhaps they worshipped nature itself.

Or that their religion simply served as a means of social cohesion.

[Intelligent creatures tend to pray to higher beings. timber Humans are no different.]

From the outside, it only looked as though they were bowing to the sky or the ground, making it impossible to know for certain.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

[Of course, Lady Aris truly exists.]

After hearing that.

“Hmm…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

According to him, this kind of religious practice usually became apparent when a goblin village had a shaman.

I started to understand it a little better.

In medieval terms, a shaman was a true member of the elite.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The more curious I became about that village.

Practically the equivalent of a priest.

The more I observed their customs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Only when a civilization invents writing can it truly be considered a civilization.

‘One thing is certain—they don’t have writing…’

Kkansu’s village was still far from that point.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

And yet.

They already had a religion.

It was nothing more than a group of individuals living together.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

As though the natural order had been reversed.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

It was a strange feeling.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

And then religion appears to strengthen it.

Normally, a civilization comes first.

Kkansu seemed to like his new tool very much.

‘Anyway. admire He’d better keep working.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

For a moment, I worried he might use it to start a rebellion.

He worked with surprising enthusiasm.

But it turned out to be a needless concern.

“Food! atomic Food! admire Food!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The real problem was that he’d adapted far too well.

Kkansu noticed immediately.

“…”

When it started getting dark and I began preparing dinner.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The exact same thing had happened with Lackey.

‘Does everyone who lives in the Forest of the Four Seasons adapt this quickly?’

Or maybe it was simply because I gave them good food.

The funny part was that, even though he kept shouting, “Food!”, his hands never stopped chopping firewood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

I suppose it was only natural.

But after a few meals, he’d adapted almost immediately.

At first, he’d resisted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Kiik?”

“Kkansu. silence Look at this.”

In a place full of dangerous plants and animals, food was the most important thing.

It was after dinner.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

And at the front, a shaman leading the ceremony.

It depicted a group of people praying.

I showed him a drawing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

As if asking whether I was referring to him.

Kkansu looked at the drawing.

Then he pointed at himself.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Just as I’d expected, his village had some sort of religion.

He nodded.

“Kiiek.”

“Yes. matrix Exactly.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Was there some transcendent being, like a dragon?

Who were they praying to?

Then.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

In other words.

Not that an especially powerful goblin had appeared.

‘Or is it a relationship like the one I have with Sloth?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The theory made quite a bit of sense.

The problem was that I had no idea who that being could be.

But that they offered tributes to some higher being.

‘Could it be someone like Sloth or the gorilla chief…?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Or perhaps something like the dragons.

Because if it was the latter.

Or the creature that lives beyond the inverted waterfall?

I hoped it was the former.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Kiik?”

Not even Tyran would be of much help if it was a being that even dragons feared.

“Kkansu. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. auction Who do you serve?”

My life could be in danger.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Seeing his reaction, I looked at Cain.

Kkansu tilted his head.

He still couldn’t understand my words.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“But you translated my language in a matter of minutes.”

You still can’t translate it?

In other words.

[It’ll take a little longer. arctic After all, the boy has barely spoken.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The language of the Central Continent would be the closest thing to Chinese.

[That surprised me as well. album Perhaps it’s similar to the language of the Central Continent.]

Even so, they weren’t alike at all.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Without overthinking it.

Who exactly were they serving to have survived until now?

I grabbed some paper and started drawing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Kkansu. timber Look at this.”

It was difficult to express that using drawings alone.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

So I also relied on body language.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Finally, I pointed at Kkansu to ask who they prayed to.

Then, once I saw that he understood, I immediately pointed at Sloth.

I drew someone praying, just as Kkansu had done before.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

When he indicated that he wanted to draw something, I handed him some paper and a pencil.

Fortunately, Kkansu understood the idea right away.

“Kiik!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

[It looks like a flower.]

“This is…”

“A flower?”

For a few seconds, he looked at both objects curiously, but then he immediately started drawing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

A completely ordinary flower.

What Kkansu had drawn was a flower.

For a moment, I thought perhaps that flower possessed a power similar to Sloth’s.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

At my question, Kkansu shook his head as hard as he could, making it clear that he had no intention of talking about it.

“Kyak!”

“Can’t you tell me anything else?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Could it be even stronger than Sloth?’

That flower had to possess extraordinary power.

I didn’t know whether that flower protected his village or had some kind of purifying effect like the Ice Flower.

But one thing was certain.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

However, the language barrier greatly limited what I could learn.

If it really was more powerful than him, I could end up in serious trouble.

I tried to get as much information out of Kkansu as possible.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Kkansu’s village had a hierarchy.

‘At least I managed to gather some information about their hierarchy.’

And I wasn’t referring to social classes, but to roles. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Each had a defined role in protecting the village.

Shamans.

Scouts.

Warriors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Apparently, that kind of organization was fairly common among them.

“If they have a shaman.”

“Are goblins always like that?”

“It sounds familiar.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The clothes Kkansu was wearing.

That said, it wasn’t exactly the same everywhere.

For example.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Even though he hadn’t mentioned it, that meant there was probably some kind of artisan class.

Even though monsters were intelligent, most of them wore rags.

At the very least, they served their purpose perfectly as clothing.

But Kkansu’s clothes were fairly well made.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Goblins who mainly survive by raiding have artisans…’

Although, considering their level of development, they most likely didn’t.

I even wondered whether they had blacksmiths.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

But the most surprising part was yet to come.

That wasn’t something I could ignore.

Hummm.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

I’d asked him whether any of their warriors could use that.

When I enveloped the Heavenly Demon Sword in aura, Kkansu immediately began nodding enthusiastically.

“Kiirik! portal Kiik!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

There were monsters capable of manifesting aura.

Actually, it wasn’t all that strange.

And that was his answer.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Something that only appeared once every hundred years or so.

It was an extraordinarily rare ability.

Aura Blade was something else entirely.

But aura was one thing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Are you serious? amateur There’s someone who can use this?”

I quickly drew an illustration.

“Kiirik!”

“Wait a moment.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Maybe Kkansu had misunderstood me.

So I drew aura rising like a mirage.

The difference between aura and Aura Blade was enormous.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Kkansu shook his head and pointed at my Aura Blade again.

“Kiirik.”

“You don’t mean this?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

At that point, there was no room for doubt.

As long as he wasn’t lying.

[It sounds absurd, but…]

There was someone among the warrior class of his village who could use Aura Blade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Cain nodded seriously.

“We’re in the Forest of the Four Seasons. amber That’s the problem.”

The Forest of the Four Seasons forced every living creature to evolve.

Ludwig did the same.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

The gorillas could speak and practiced martial arts.

Sloth possessed impossible speed.

There was no reason monsters should be any different.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

In fact, compared to those two, monsters were much closer to humans.

Then I remembered something and turned toward Lackey.

‘But Aura Blade? This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. matrix Isn’t that a bit too much?’

I was completely dumbfounded.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, Lackey. arrow Can you use it too?”

Hummm.

“This?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t a hazy aura like a mirage.

A perfectly defined aura enveloped his hand.

Lackey raised his fist.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“That’s Ganggi. abandon Not Aura Blade.”

“…Did Wi Hochang teach you?”

It had a completely solid form.

“Yes. abstract My master taught me.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Both Lackey and the gorilla chief had been influenced by Wi Hochang.

‘Then someone must have taught the goblins as well?’

He had most likely passed on his knowledge to them and enabled them to master Ganggi from an early stage.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

[There’s no need to make it so complicated. wizard If you remember where we are, it’s not that strange.]

It was Cain who resolved the question before Ludwig could.

As I continued pondering the matter.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

[Then how do you think I obtained Aura Blade? attic In my time, martial arts were far less developed than they are now.]

“Isn’t it strange? accent But martial arts…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

I was the best example of that.

Martial arts and enlightenment were two different things.

Those words struck me like a hammer.

He was right.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

[Aura, or mana, depends primarily on each individual’s will. advance Think of mana as a reflection of one’s will.]

HeavenlyDemon could teach me the formulas at critical moments.

“Hmm… How interesting.”

But that alone wasn’t enough.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“What kind of will?”

When I asked, Cain answered without hesitation.

[Especially in this forest, where a certain kind of will is constantly being stimulated.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

[Do you know the difference between a human and an animal? afford When a human faces a desperate situation, they fight until the very end. afford An animal, on the other hand, eventually gives up.]

“…”

[The will to survive.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Just as he said.

It was a remarkably convincing observation.

And it reflected all the experience he had accumulated.

There was no point in trying to explain everything.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Only to accept it.

There was no need to understand it.

This was the Forest of the Four Seasons.

Anything could happen here.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Did you really have to say that?… Wait. ‘Our’?”

When I heard that word, I looked at Ludwig.

“…When you put it that way, I feel much more at ease. advance It’s true that clinging to common sense would only hurt me.”

[Exactly. airport Besides, from our point of view, you’re the one who’s farthest removed from common sense. canvas It’s rather ironic that you’re the one talking about what’s normal.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

He didn’t seem willing to deny it.

He simply nodded with a serious expression. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Although it left me somewhat speechless.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway. aspect It’s time to sleep. amateur Lackey, take Kkansu with you.”

After all, I myself was an invasive species in this world.

I supposed it was only natural.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Even though Lackey had been promoted, he was still sleeping in the brick house.

Since it looked like there would be much more work from now on, I sent Lackey and Kkansu back.

“Understood.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Step.

But he seemed quite satisfied with it, so I didn’t think much of it.

Step.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

As always, he moved with his characteristic slowness.

He didn’t seem to be in any hurry.

I had spent a while in the Gallery and was just about to go to bed when I saw Sloth slowly emerge from the cave.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Then he looked forward again and made a slight gesture with one hand.

“…”

Sloth slowly turned his head and looked straight at me.

“What’s wrong? voyage Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Maybe he was just going to the bathroom.

It seemed like he was telling me not to worry and to go to sleep.

‘Well, he’ll manage.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

I stopped thinking about it and went back into the Gallery.

***

Meanwhile.

I wondered what had happened today.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps because the space within the Forest of the Four Seasons was constantly changing,

The constellations were different from the previous day.

Sloth walked out of the cave and stopped in the middle of the shelter.

Then he slowly raised his head to gaze at the sky.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Their extraordinary beauty.

Even Sloth, despite being just an animal, could appreciate that beauty.

But one thing remained the same.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

His sharp claws reflected the moonlight.

He slowly raised one arm.

Swish.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

They were sharp enough to slice through massive boulders with ease.

But that wasn’t all.

Grills had taken care of them constantly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

A blue light began to envelop his claws.

It shone clearly even in absolute darkness.

Hummm.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

It had a perfectly defined shape.

Little by little, that light covered each of his claws.

It didn’t spread like a mirage.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

And the intensity of that energy was astonishing.

After that, he made a simple motion.

Then he raised his eyes toward the sky.

Sloth looked at his claws wrapped in Aura Blade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

One from each claw.

Slaaash!

As though he were merely flicking his arm.

Three enormous sword waves shot toward the heavens.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

So enormous that they seemed to cover almost all the stars in the night sky.

They were gigantic.

A moment later, the sword waves disappeared.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ki… Kiiek…?!”

Someone let out a cry of utter astonishment.

But the stars continued shining as though nothing had happened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Watching everything with his mouth hanging open.

“What are you doing there, Kkansu? orbit Go to sleep.”

Leaning out from one of the windows was Kkansu.

Sloth slowly turned his head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Sloth didn’t seem to care in the slightest.

“…”

Then, obeying Lackey’s order, he silently went back inside.

Kkansu shifted his gaze between Sloth and the sky.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

Then, with his characteristic slow pace,

He calmly scratched his backside with one of his long claws.

He returned to the cave.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 273: Goblin (3) by Indra Translations.

He probably would have fallen into despair.

If Grills had heard that thought,

‘It was that simple.’
