I didn't intend to destroy the world.
Chapter 1 Goblins
[Learning about it...]
Water: colorless and odorless, found everywhere. It can quench thirst, wash clothes, and irrigate the land.
We can't live without it, but too much of it will cause trouble.
[Insight +1]
......
Wow, how fresh is that?
Did I not know that there was water in the bowl?
Holding the bowl of water handed to him by the elven mage, Levitt thought to himself.
On a moonlit night, in an open space in the Monster Forest, the Flower Moon Adventure Team set up camp for rest.
The leaves rustled, insects chirped sporadically, and the bright, crackling campfire emitted steam and the aroma of food from the stew pot on the fire.
Levitt had just gotten up from the ground when the members of his adventure team seemed surprised by his resurrection. According to them, he had just died and was now inexplicably alive again.
This is probably the reason I traveled through time?
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
The three soul-searching questions of a stranger are barely explained by the chaotic memories flooding his mind.
The situation is not complicated:
The original owner shared the same name, Li Weite, and looked exactly the same; he was from another dimension.
He's a country bumpkin, characterized by his stupidity and inability to learn anything.
Levitt was an orphan whose only grandfather had recently passed away. He met this adventure group while working at a tavern that paid him a meager wage. Because he had longed for an adventurous life since childhood, his low IQ led him to sell his dilapidated wooden house for a pittance and pay to join the group.
The adventure party consisted of six people, including him:
The orc warrior with the short sword always talked about rolling around in the stable with two female dwarves who were even more mature than his mother, in order to highlight his own charm.
The elven mage, Crescent Moon, appears innocent, but in reality, she has had countless relationships with men and women.
Scout Gray Rat and Doctor Rose are both human and are a couple who have only recently started dating.
Captain Ralph is a human archer, supposedly a nobleman, but he eloped with a country girl, refusing an arranged marriage, and somehow he's all alone now.
The reason why Levitt just died is:
He was persuaded by some members of the adventure group to eat mushrooms of unknown safety. Presumably, the mushrooms were poisonous. He died shortly after, but was resurrected and awakened to his memories of his past life.
These beasts!
Levitt felt a surge of displeasure, but in his memory, it was his original foolish mind that was in control. To impress the elven mage, he recklessly swallowed poisonous mushrooms, which was incredibly stupid. How did I become Jiahao from another world?
When the five people saw that Levitt had woken up, they all expressed their relief. Gray Rat, who was checking the food in the stew pot, kicked away the poisonous mushroom that Levitt had picked earlier.
Although Levitt had woken up, they dared not add mushrooms to the stew again.
However, this shows that the members of this adventure group were also complete scoundrels. How could adventurers not recognize poisonous mushrooms?
There was another reason why Levitt didn't investigate the matter further—
Knowledge Level: 1 (1/200)
He looked at a piece of cloth:
[Cloth: A thin sheet woven from linen or wool, plain white, but valuable once dyed.]
[Insight +1]
Then he looked at the wood:
[Wood: Trees that have been cut down can be used after drying; they can be chopped for firewood, sawed for building houses, or sharpened to make fences.]
[Insight +1]
Then look at the campfire:
[Lacking knowledge, one needs to first understand fire...]
Levitt discovered that the system seemed to treat him completely as a stranger, or rather, mentally challenged. He was as curious as a newborn baby, and whenever he saw something new, the system would explain it to him and broaden his knowledge.
As for knowledge and experience, they are of great use.
Levitt stared at the elven mage Crescent Moon. After understanding what women and elves were, a menu appeared above her head. He tapped it with his mind, and the menu changed:
【Decoy Technique (Ring 2)】 (Unlocked) 200 Insight.
Description: Touching a living creature infuses it with a strong and alluring magical aura that intensely stimulates the hunting instincts of wild beasts, monsters, or low-intelligence creatures, causing them to prioritize attacking that target.
He remembered that this was a spell that Crescent Moon had used when fighting the goblins before, and she had patiently explained it to him.
Levitt then looked at the others, and above their heads were skills or traits that he had seen before, all of which were unlocked and acquired through experience.
So that's how it's used!
"Stop looking!" The orc dagger handed over a bowl of stew, seemingly displeased that Levitt's gaze was fixed on Crescent Moon's face.
Levitt was both frightened and annoyed; it was this guy who had just been the one urging him to eat the poisonous mushrooms.
He put down the bowl of water, took the stew, and glanced sideways at the orc dagger.
Unlike the others' bowls, this stew had less dry food and more water, showing that the orcs didn't like him.
The orc dagger felt something was off about being looked at like that. He thought Levitt's behavior was a bit strange. For the past few days, this country bumpkin hadn't dared to look him in the eye. Why was his expression so aggressive now?
Let's just say that Levitt ate mushrooms and messed up his brain. He turned around and went back to eat his own portion.
The others were also engrossed in eating their stew, occasionally exchanging a few words.
"Weren't the goblins in the Warcraft Forest supposed to be really tough, with teams hunting them? I haven't seen any."
"What's so great about goblins? The person who said that is just trying to scam government subsidies."
Upon hearing this, Levitt felt a sense of disdain.
He had seen these people fight against enemy goblins before. Although they could defeat them, they were honestly a bit embarrassed.
He then took a bite, and the taste was just so-so. It was mostly mushrooms and wild vegetables, served with a piece of dry, hard bread.
"Levitt, you scared me to death just now." Crescent Moon leaned over and sat down next to him. "But you looked really cool testing the poison for everyone."
Crescent Moon wore a light blue mage's robe and carried a satchel filled with valuables. She was very beautiful. When she spoke, one of her pointed ears twitched, a strand of light red bangs swayed gently, and her ankles peeked out from between her socks and the hem of her mage's robe, dazzlingly white in the campfire. Her azure eyes even had a tiny flame within them.
Some men who are attracted to beauty will likely fall at her feet like moths to a flame, just like Levitt did before.
Stink sign.
But things are different now, Levitt thought to himself, this kind of woman is the most ruthless when it comes to playing men.
Looking up, he saw the orc dagger glaring at him with gritted teeth.
It seems this moth hasn't gotten burned yet.
The sounds of team members chatting and swallowing stew rose and fell. Suddenly, Captain Ralph put down his bowl, frowned, and said, "The trap has been triggered. It's a goblin."
It was probably some kind of technique or magic that Levitt didn't know, but after everyone learned of this, they didn't rush to make preparations, but continued eating.
The reason they weren't so wary was simply because they looked down on goblins.
The evil green-skinned beast, alone when it encounters a large dog, its life or death is uncertain!
Their intelligence is probably similar to that of a monkey, and they only know how to use sticks and stones as tools; they are just lower-level creatures driven by instinct.
Normally, they just steal poultry and attack lone people in groups.
The biggest threat is their numbers.
This creature is a follower of an evil god. It abducts females of any other species, and a single brood can be as numerous as a cockroach. If left unchecked for a period of time, it may steal your mother and kill your next-door neighbor.
This is no longer an ordinary threat; we must strike hard.
Therefore, both the old and new empires adopted the policy of eradicating goblins as their governing principle.
"We're usually the ones who have to find these animals, this time it's been much easier." The orc dagger swallowed his food, picked up his weapon, a large sword.
The others also lazily prepared for battle, especially Ralph and Crescent Moon.
This is how mages and nobles are.
Levitt's weapon was a broken crossbow, and his face showed a wary expression.
"Why don't you rest and leave it to us?" The elven mage Crescent Moon approached Levitt and said softly, "They're just some goblins."
Levitt understood that Crescent Moon was all talk; he had never actually used it in battle.
The others also prepared their weapons, while the orc dagger, having witnessed the exchange between Levitt and Crescent Moon, curled his lip and, as if showing off, turned his back to the direction of the approaching danger and addressed Levitt:
"Look how scared you are! It's just a bunch of goblins. When they come out, I'll take them all down with one slash—"
"Pfft—"
Suddenly, an arrow flew from the bushes and struck him in the back of the head. He fell straight to the ground, twitched twice, and died.
Another Jiahao.
"Huh?" Crescent Moon stared wide-eyed at the fallen orc dagger, and everyone else was also stunned.
The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out one after another.
Two pins were nailed to the small shield on Ralph's right arm, and the shield vibrated with a muffled buzzing sound.
The gray rat reacted the fastest, swatting the rose beside him to the ground. An arrow grazed his ear, drawing a line of blood.
"Crescent Moon!" Ralph roared.
The elven mage then came to his senses and quickly gestured with his fingers, creating a pale blue magic barrier in front of the group.
The two arrows struck it, as if they had been shot into sticky mud, their speed decreased sharply, and they finally fell to the ground with two thuds.
But more arrows came flying from the side.
Levitt crouched beside the embers of the campfire, holding a broken crossbow in his hand but having no idea where to aim.
Why are they arrows? Do goblins use bows and arrows?
Dark shadows swarmed in the bushes, the short, green-skinned figures almost indistinguishable in the night, only their eyes shining brightly.
Goblins: short, cowardly, and cruel goblin-like creatures.
[Insight +10]
"Get up!" Ralph abandoned his bow and arrow, raised his shield to block Crescent Moon, and drew his short sword, the sound of metal scraping against metal particularly jarring in the night.
Rose got up from the ground, with Gray Rat protecting her, a dagger held across her chest, and the color had not yet fully returned to her face.
Then goblins emerged from the bushes.
It wasn't the chaotic mob they had imagined, armed with sticks and rushing forward in disarray.
The three goblins leading the charge carried rough wooden shields covered with the fur of some unknown animal, forming a crooked shield wall as they advanced.
Behind them followed five or six of their kind, each wielding a short spear with sharpened bone and gravel tips—things that would surely kill if pierced.
As for the archers, they've probably gone into hiding.
"They have shields too?" the gray rat asked in a shrill voice.
Ralph did not answer, his face turning pale.
Something's not right!
Are these goblins? They seem like a well-organized squad.
His attention was drawn to another direction; the bushes to his left shook violently, and a larger, darker shadow rushed out from within.
That was a demon wolf.
Its fur was grayish-brown, and its shoulder height was almost up to an adult man's waist. Its scarlet eyes looked like two burning embers in the darkness.
The goblin riding on its back was a size larger than its kind, wearing a crooked bone helmet on its head and holding a spear with sharp stones tied to it—it was really just a sharpened wooden stick inlaid with iron, but with the force of the dire wolf's charge, it was enough to pierce a person through.
"Cavalry?" Rose's voice trembled. "How can goblins have cavalry?"
No one could answer her.
The rider let out a sharp howl, and the wolf growled, pawing the ground with its four paws as it charged towards them.
"Scatter!" Ralph roared, dodging to the left.
The wolf howled past him, and the rider's lance grazed his shoulder armor, sending sparks flying.
The gray mouse dragged Rose toward the campfire, but Rose's legs were weak, and she stumbled after taking two steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the second wave of goblin infantry pounced forward, thrusting out three short spears at the same time. Gray Rat barely managed to deflect one, another slashed his arm, and the third pierced Rose's calf behind him.
"Ah—!" Rose screamed and fell to the ground.
"Rose!" Gray Rat turned around to help her, but the goblins had already surrounded her.
The crescent moon's magic barrier dissipated after withstanding the first wave of arrows. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, chanting something rapidly, and pale green light began to condense at her fingertips—her attack magic, vines that entwine.
But casting spells takes time, and a goblin has already noticed her, charging at her with a stone axe in hand.
"Crescent Moon, watch out!" Ralph wanted to rush to the rescue, but the wolf riders turned around and charged back, forcing him to raise his shield to take the hit head-on.
The spear struck the iron shield with a loud thud, and Ralph was knocked back three steps, his hands going numb.
The goblin had already rushed to within three meters of Crescent Moon.
Crescent Moon screamed, her magic forced to stop, and she instinctively dodged backward.
Her foot tripped on a tree root, and she fell backward.
A hand reached out from the side and yanked her away abruptly.
It's Levitt.
He was holding the back of Crescent Moon's mage robe with his right hand, and the broken crossbow in his left hand had been thrown away at some point, replaced by a fire poker he had picked up from the campfire.
He raised the fire poker and stabbed it into the goblin's face. The red-hot embers sizzled on the green skin, producing a hissing sound and a burnt smell.
The goblin screamed in agony and backed away, covering its face.
"Get up!" Levitt pushed Crescent Moon behind him, kicking up a handful of sand and sending it flying toward another approaching goblin.
But more goblins are surging in.
Levitt glanced across the battlefield. Rose lay in a pool of blood, Gray Rat desperately wielding his sword in front of her, another wound appearing on his arm. Ralph was entangled by the wolf cavalry, his shield now bearing several cracks. Crescent Moon hid behind him, trembling, her lips moving rapidly as she tried to chant a spell again, but her voice was broken and incoherent, clearly showing her panic.
The short-sword's body lay a few meters away, the arrow still stuck in his head.
Eleven...no, at least twelve.
There may be more to come.
The goblins in the Warcraft Forest are definitely different!
However, the Flower Moon Adventurer's Guild is indeed full of mediocre members!
"We can't fight anymore!" Ralph finally shouted. "Retreat! Retreat east! The forest is dense; the wolves can't get in!"
The gray mouse immediately lifted Rose up, and Rose cried out in pain, blood gushing from her legs, leaving a dark red trail with every step.
Ralph fought and retreated, using his shield to block two more javelins.
The crescent moon's magic was finally unleashed; several vines sprouted from the ground and entangled the two nearest goblins.
But her face was pale, clearly indicating excessive exertion, and the vines withered after only a few seconds.
"Let's go!" Levitt pulled her along for a few steps, but the injury to his right foot prevented him from taking any more steps, and he staggered and stopped after a few steps.
"Crescent Moon! Use a decoy on Levitt!" Ralph, who had run off with Grey Rat Rose, reminded her at that moment.
"He was alive, and he was the goblin's target."
"Yeah! He's just a useless idiot anyway!"
The gray mouse and the rose also shouted.
Upon hearing this, a quick calculation flashed in Xianyue's eyes, followed by a decisive move.
She quickly chanted an incantation, purple light surging in her palm. "Don't you like me? You were even willing to eat poisonous mushrooms for me, so why don't you be my bait too!"
Levitt was stunned for a moment, and then he found that his body was emitting a purple light.
He reached out to grab the crescent moon, but a flaming arrow struck near his feet.
Then he felt a tremor beneath his feet, turned around, and saw the wolf riders charging towards him.
The bone spear was swung and struck directly at him.
Levitt instinctively used his fire poker to block the attack, but the poker broke when struck by the bone spear, and he was knocked to the ground.
The goblin rider bared his teeth on the back of the dire wolf, his bone spear held horizontally, aimed at the wolf's chest.
The decoy spell is more effective when placed on a target that the monster already has aggro on.
The other goblins were also drawn to Levitt and surrounded him.
All Levitt could hear was the goblin's heavy breathing, while the footsteps of his four teammates were fading into the distance.
No one called his name.
Nobody stopped.
Levitt suddenly remembered something—it had been four days since he joined the Flower Moon Adventurer Group.
Four days is enough for a dog to win the trust of a family, but not enough for a farmer to win the trust of a group of adventurers.
The wolf growled and accelerated, its four claws swirling, sending dead leaves and dirt flying into the air.
"Those beasts, that stinking symbol." Levitt stared at the bone spear in front of him, his face filled with anger at being abandoned and betrayed.
Not only did they abandon themselves, they even made themselves the bait?
The goblin rider didn't rush to attack, but instead mumbled something to the goblin beside him.
Immediately, Levitt saw the "Goblin Language" entry appear above the goblin's head, which required 50 knowledge points to unlock, and his current knowledge points were 50.
"Those damned invaders, they got away again!"
"Find them and avenge our brothers!"
"Yes! Revenge!"
The goblins chattered amongst themselves, while the rider coldly said, "Let's kill this guy first!"
It raised its bone spear and aimed it at Levitt's heart.
Now that he had mastered Goblin language and could understand their conversation, Levitt immediately said, "Brother, don't kill me! I'll take you to find these bastards!"
