Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

Every race hopes to survive a disaster, and the immortals are no exception.

This is also the reason why the forest people present were so excited after seeing Nashida.

After hearing the explanation about the goblin archers, Nashida fell into deep thought.

Judging from the history recorded by the Sen people, the catastrophe in the past was most likely the fall of a star core, but it could also be an unintentional act by some star gods. It is too difficult to unravel the truth from it.

However, she had to confirm something about the World Tree.

Nashida was curious about this and thirsted for knowledge. This was not because she was forgetting herself or her original identity, but rather a trait inherent in pioneers.

In Jizi's words: "'Explore', 'Understand', 'Build', and 'Connect' - these are the four things we have to do every time we arrive in a world."

Now she has only achieved the first two steps, and has not even touched the last two steps!

Therefore, even if he was listening to this story as "Wendy" at this moment, he would definitely want to see what the legendary World Tree looked like.

What did its leaves look like? Was it a golden tree reaching to the sky as the fairy archer had described? What exactly was the blessing of resonance it bestowed? All of this piqued her curiosity.

But when she looked at her companions for advice, she discovered——

Everyone had already shown an expression of interest, even Dan Heng was no exception.

It seems that it is indeed necessary to take a trip.

So, after exchanging glances with everyone, Nashida, as the invited guest, spoke softly.

"We have agreed to the requests from our colleagues. However, I would like to decline the coronation ceremony first!

After all—I don't know you well enough, nor do I understand the responsibility this entails. If I were to assume office with such 'ignorance', I think I would be more likely to bring disaster than protect my people."

In response to this, the fairy archer showed a very excited smile and explained with concern.

"Ah, please don't worry about that! The coronation ceremony, from start to finish, will probably take about a year in mortal time.

Even after the coronation ceremony, Her Majesty the Queen still has a lot of knowledge to impart to you, and this will take at least five hundred to a thousand years, so don't worry, you will have plenty of time to grow!"

"With that much time, I'm afraid we'll all wither... No, it seems like everyone on the train doesn't have a short lifespan, but considering the timeframe, by the time we've truly learned the goblins' knowledge, I'm afraid this pioneering journey will have already concluded."

Although such a thought flashed through her mind, Nashida still maintained a well-behaved smile on the surface and declined it with a clear determination.

"Please allow me to witness it with my own eyes before making a decision."

After discussing this most important matter, the goblin archer planned to pack up and prepare to lead the team on the road, but the dwarf warlock who was traveling with him let out a "cough".

"Um, long ears, have you forgotten something else?"

His words caught the attention of several people present, and when he noticed the innocent, yet curious look from the young fairy princess, he felt as if he had been shot by a fairy's arrow.

Come to think of it, if there hadn't been that mining disaster, his granddaughter would probably be this old now, right?

Although his expression froze for a moment, the dwarf warlock quickly adjusted himself and continued.

"That's Okbolg. Although this trip to Getlo was not in vain, don't forget that you still have a mission to accomplish, right?"

"I also think that without Okbolger's help, and without the archer lady who will serve as an ambush, this would be difficult to accomplish."

The Lizardman monk showed a very human expression of helplessness.

He could fully understand the archer lady in the team's eagerness to bring the heir of the clan back.

If the lizard people encounter a cub that has reverted to its ancestral form to a very high degree, they will also want to quickly send it back to the main group for protection, but they cannot refuse to do the commission either.

After all, this is a task directly issued at the national level, and it is also the political direction after the current oracle was issued.

The archer lady could have taken the princess back with her, and not only would she not be punished, she would also be highly rewarded. However, she and the warlock brother still had to go on a mission, but unfortunately they didn't know much about creatures like goblins.

With the strength of the two of them, it would be no problem for them to defeat dozens of goblins, but there are only so many spell slots that can be used in a day. Once the spell slots are used up, the remaining goblins will rush forward, and even they will not be able to gain any advantage.

According to preliminary investigations, there are at least two hundred goblins in the ancient ruins. They even raise dog-like monsters. If we take into account their leader, if only two silver-level adventurers go in, they will probably be eaten to the bone.

In this regard, the fairy archer did not show any irresponsible side, but instead thought about it seriously.

"How about you continue looking for Okbolg? After all, he was originally the candidate put forward by the human kingdom. Although he probably doesn't know yet, this feather arrow is already stuck in his head, so it's too late to run away."

"Um...I wanted to ask this when you guys mentioned this Okbolg earlier!"

Mitsuki, who was listening in, raised her hand and asked a question.

"This Okbolg you're talking about is Goblin Slayer, right?"

Although the things that happened in the cave before made her confused afterwards, she still remembered the time in the tavern. Naturally, she still remembered the hero mentioned by Wendy and praised in poems.

"That's definitely him. We previously inquired about his whereabouts and were told he was in a town on the western border. But the entire west is so vast, it would be endless to search everywhere. So we decided to try our luck in the towns that have been most severely affected by the recent goblin plague."

Because Nashida had introduced them to several people before, Miss Archer did not have any arrogance towards them, but explained them to her very carefully.

"Then, following up on what you said before, he heard about our poetry and wanted to come directly to us to entrust it to you!"

March 7th suddenly realized.

"Now that you mention it, it's quite a coincidence! In fact, we ran into him yesterday. He really is... a very special person."

"Oh? There's actually such a thing. Human lady, could you please tell me where he is?"

The lizardman monk suddenly became interested.

If the team lacked Nobu, relying on only two people to explore the ancient ruins would indeed be foolhardy. But if there were three of them, they could still go down and give it a try, after all, his Dragon Fang soldiers could, to some extent, take over some of Nobu's duties.

Letting the Dragon Tooth Soldiers trigger the trap directly will reduce the number of spell casts, but at least it is not a waste.

"Haha! Miss Human, what a strange name! Just call me March Seventh, and let's get on with our story."

San Yue Qi's smile was lively. Seeing her having a clear expression and chatting with the lizardman monk, everyone in the team felt relieved.

"Our team did encounter him during a mission before, but when we completed the subsequent mission, he didn't return with us in the same guild carriage. Instead, he went to another place. The groom who was responsible for picking him up seemed to have taken him back somewhere..."

Because he was a bit confused in the second half of the journey, San Yueqi didn't remember it very clearly. Dan Heng took out a map from his arms and drew a circle on a border town next to Getlo.

"He went here, to a border town with a prosperous livestock industry."

Dan Heng spoke briefly and to the point, and also handed the map to the lizardman monk.

After thanking him, he looked at the map carefully and then went over the route in his mind.

"Looks like we might not have to part ways halfway. The town where this Goblin Slayer is located happens to be on our route, but I'm not sure if he'll accept our invitation."

The lizardman monk said this with some worry in his voice.

Although we are subduing low-level monsters like imps, we can't force them to stay when we are short of manpower in the team.

"Why not give Long Ears his share of the reward when the time comes? We have plenty of funds this time."

The dwarf warlock glanced at the goblin archer, and she immediately glared at him in annoyance.

"If you can't speak, then drink your wine!"

Knowing that he had spoken out of turn, the dwarf warlock did as she expected and quickly shut his mouth. He even took a look outside. Fortunately, no forest assassins came in and stabbed him to death.

The other fairy princess didn't seem to care at all. Instead, she listened to everyone's words seriously.

...Isn't this cute?

They are obviously of the same race, but there are huge differences between them.

The dwarf warlock, who was secretly mocking in his heart, did not realize that the dwarves' unique plump aesthetic was being quietly reversed.

And here, after Nashida said: "The other party will definitely accept your commission."

The Goblin Archer team had no last minute concerns and headed straight for the town where the Goblin Slayer was.

Naturally, they were accompanied by the Starry Sky Team. Of course, they were not going to the ancient ruins, but to the hometown of the Fairy Archer - the Forest of Kings.

From there, it would be safer to reach the Golden Forest where the World Tree is located, and the Fairy Council would also have time to prepare.

Just like that, after reaching an agreement, everyone set off quickly, followed by a team of forest light cavalry.

The journey was quite grand, and the supernatural powers displayed by Nashida during the journey made the forest people who followed behind believe that she was the next guardian of the World Tree.

Especially the one that played the light and ethereal music, summoning thousands of gentle winds to wrap around everyone's bodies, dissipating the fatigue of the long journey. After they greatly recovered their condition, this group of forest people became even more loyal.

Even the Starry Sky Team received very high-level treatment from the forest people.

After two days, they eliminated many rebellious monsters along the way and successfully arrived at the town where the Goblin Slayer was.

Even when he first came to the door, he saw the Goblin Slayer sitting at the same table with the young priest, seemingly in a daze, as if waiting for others to finish choosing their commissions.

When he found someone looking for him, he turned around and asked in a dull tone, "What's the matter?"

"Goblin retreat."

The leading fairy archer lady answered immediately.

"can."

Goblin Slayer readily agreed.

This aroused the interest of the goblin archer, who had heard many rumors about him when he came here, and asked a question.

"Wow, don't you want to ask about the commission?"

"Then they'll ask, how many goblins are there? How big is the lair? Are there any bodyguards or shamans? And—"

He looked at Nashida, the youngest in the crowd, and several members of the Starry Sky Team who looked familiar to him.

The voice, as always, had a slightly cold metallic feel.

"I don't mind going with them, but she can't go in."

As he spoke, he looked very seriously at the little fellow who had puffed up his face and was glaring at him angrily.

Like all parents disciplining young children, he spoke with earnestness.

"Goblins love to eat tender children like you. They can even smell your fragrance from a long distance away."

Although from a practical point of view, these words can be regarded as a bloody lesson, it is difficult for everyone in the Starry Sky Team to be serious.

Nashida, who was treated like a child, looked helpless.

This appearance is indeed very deceptive and makes people lower their guard, but at the same time—

This kind of development will definitely happen after meeting familiar friends!

Chapter 137: Things that cannot be solved, just cannot be solved

However, considering that it would be troublesome to explain her true identity to the Goblin Slayer, Nashida became interested in continuing the role-playing.

"Don't look at me like a child. As a fairy, I'm much older than you think. Also, I know more than many adults. At least in terms of my understanding of the world, I believe few of you can compare to me."

Although it looked like a child's wild imagination and boasting, the adventurers present were about to laugh when they were warned with eyes by the accompanying Forest Rangers, while those who knew the Forest Rangers better showed interest.

For example, there was a female magician whose breasts were so big that they could almost fit Nashida’s little head. She had her eyes fixed on the little girl at the moment.

It looked as if he wanted to eat her up completely.

Although Goblin Slayer did not give a direct answer, he subconsciously glanced at the surrounding forest people.

These long-eared species do live longer than humans, but no matter what, it is hard for him to feel at ease when they appear in such a childish image.

Fortunately, there was a talkative little priest in the team. She replaced the silent Goblin Slayer and gently stroked Nashida's head like a sister next door, saying lovingly, "Dear, dear, this big brother is just worried about you, so please forgive him for not being good at talking."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Whether it was the members of the Starry Sky Team who knew the truth, or the Rangers who valued the Fairy Princess more than anything else, everyone was stunned by her sudden action.

Nashida, who was in the center of sight, opened her mouth, feeling inexplicably as if she was being treated as an easy-to-coax child.

But, no matter what, if a quarrel breaks out here, it is hard to say whether the lovely priestess will be killed on the spot based on the moral concepts of people in this era.

Therefore, after gently taking away the rubbing hand, Nashida did not pursue her behavior which seemed a bit "offensive" to the forest people, but just spoke.

"Anyway, please go to the conference room to discuss the details of the commission."

After she finished speaking, Miss Archer, who had originally had an envious expression on her face, finally reacted. She took the lead and led the Goblin Slayer away, even whispering in the young priest's ear, "Sorry, we'll borrow him first."

This remark, which sounded like a "retaliatory" teasing, immediately made the young priest look at a loss.

The two of them went up with a dwarf warlock and a lizardman monk.

After resolving the issue with the commission, the Starry Sky Team also took a break at the guild.

Sanyueqi was going to take Xing out shopping, Danheng was alone as usual, and Nashida became an idle person with nothing to do.
