BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120: Goblin Village
A 5\'10 woman with long, slightly curly, brown hair asked with a puzzled expression. She was tightly clinging to a tall man adorned in a long white robe.
His appearance was so baffling that it would elicit the gods ire if they ever learned of the looks that such a mortal possessed. His features were, in every sense of the word, \'Perfect\'.
That was not to say that the brown-haired beauty lost to him in terms of appearance. It was just that her looks would be categorized under the \'Too cute for words\' category, while Azmond was leaning towards the \'Ungodly\' side of the appearance scale.
In addition, his unwavering temperament only added to the allure that his looks produced.
This perfect match made in Heaven was currently traveling at speeds surpassing Mach 10 as they ventured out into the vast, lush landscape that surrounded them.
Large hills and even larger mountains, along with the towering trees that surpassed the height of any such forestry Azmond witnessed in his past life, quickly passed them by.
** BOoOOooM **
Sonic booms were constantly sounding out across the skies, following behind the receding figures of Azmond and Boundless.
....
Due to turbulence, Azmond had just now caught up to the question Boundless asked.
Only after he completely comprehended the lovely voice of his \'Boundless System\', did he finally respond with a small smile. "We are heading off to defeat some monsters, my dear."
He said so in jest, but Boundless had a clear, visible reaction to the kindness exuding out of every word he enunciated when speaking to her. Especially the \'Dear\' part...
She wouldn\'t deny that she felt a certain warm feeling begin to bubble up inside her when she heard the way Azmond said it.
She quickly snuggled her head back into his robes to avoid the embarrassment.
Although nothing could hide the deep shade of red that overtook her facial features, not even those long, curly browns could put up a good enough veneer
"..."
Azmond didn\'t know what he said that could\'ve caused such a big reaction in her. His expression took on a more perplexed look as he felt the need to ask her what the problem was.
He truly didn\'t know that saying one simple word could elicit such a flustered moment.
There was no doubt that the situation had a high chance of being blown out of proportion if he ever did figure out what the cause was...
He feared that he wouldn\'t be able to hold himself back from teasing the brown haired beauty even further That was of course in the unplausible scenario where she ever found out, but such a stiiatuonwas unlikely.
Nevertheless, in spite of his urge to ask her what\'s up, he quickly discarded that thought when he realized that his destination was approaching.
The couple made their way past some colossal mountains, as a dilapidated sight lay beyond.
Past those mountain ranges was a large assortment of thatch houses, made of stone and grass. They lined up in disorganized and erratically placed rows, as at the center of such an allotment lay a hut 10 times larger than the ones that surrounded it.
This entire village of huts was surrounded by a high number of 10-foot-tall wooden stakes that encapsulated the place like a wall that separated the assortment of houses from the outside world.
However, it wasn\'t the village-type area that would catch one\'s eye.
It was instead the fact that the village was utterly infested with goblins!
Goblin here!
Goblin there!
Goblins Everywhere!
Those green monsters appeared to be carving up and preparing a type of meat for consumption as they gathered around a large bonfire.
There was a particularly large goblin at the forefront of the bonfire, as he should be akin to something like the leader of this goblin encampment.
He was around 8 feet tall, with long, pointed green ears and a deformed nose that protruded outward. His features were capable of making even the most steel-hearted people throw up. He was wearing a large, gaudy cape with bone outlining.
His appearance was that of the ideal \'Elite Goblin\'.
All the goblins that gathered around the larger \'Elite Goblin\' had visible hints of avarice on their faces, as it looked like they were awaiting the entrance of something.
That was when it happened!
A loud cart with wooden bars was rolled in from outside the goblin village. And inside that cart was a wide variety of...
Humans!
There were humans filling up the enterity of the inside of the cart. But that wasn\'t all, as even more carts entered the village with even more humans!
It was unknown whether they were alive or not, as most of them were sitting up inside the crowded carts, while some of the less \'lively\' ones lay down in tattered clothes. Barely hanging on to life... If any of them were still alive, that is
.....
"... These are some disgusting creatures, alright." Azmond spoke such words with a tinge of disgust in his voice.
His face was anything but pretty right now, as he began to smell something putrid enter his nose.
"Is that the smell of burning meat?"
He scanned the area but couldn\'t find the source of such a malodorous smell, no matter how long he searched. That was until a particular group of goblins made their way out of one of the small stone huts
And with them was a large pile of unknown meat. Meat that didn\'t quite seem like the meat from any animal he knew of. There was something different about it, so he took it upon himself to take a closer look, and what he saw left him disgusted.
The large pile of meat was situated on top of a smaller cart than the ones coming in, but it was still big enough to put over 2000 pounds of meat on it. And inside that pile of meat was a little more than just meat
