Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 271

 

History of Paradise



We were spoiled


We thought we'd be safe with Dragon-sama by our side.


"Sky, fly! Hurry!"


And this is the result.


The three of us were gathered on the bridge and were ordered to steer the ship.


"We'll never make it if we don't land. The mooring rope is still attached!"


"Mooring rope, lower it!"


"No! If lower it, humans come!"


They kept asking and questioning.


Well, it helps us, but...


"Why do you want to go to the land of humans so badly?"


My colleague raised a question.


"Human, Lola, killed!"


"Human, family, killed!"


"Human, promise, broke it!"


"Human, mountain, steal!"


"That's why, we, revenge!"


That's reasonable.


"Human, everyone, kill!"


"That's right, kill!"


We can't help but smile as we hear those words.


There is a window on the bridge behind the goblin glaring at us.


And outside the window...


"Gya!"


Breaking through the glass with force


There was a man who just kicked one of the goblins right through it.


"Dragon-sama!"


"Are you hurt?"


"No, dange…!"


As Dragon-sama called out to us, another goblin was behind him, swinging a dagger.


"I know!"


But before the dagger could reach him, he kicked it in the face and blew it away.


"The rope has been cut. Increase the altitude."


"Eh, we're going up?"


Wouldn't he normally give instructions to land?


"I can't let even one of them escape. I can't even kill them."


Apparently, this is to prevent them from jumping off and running away.


Now that I understand, I followed the instructions and increased the altitude.


"Lock down the bridge."


"I understand. Please be careful."




------------




Soon after that, the goblins were captured.


We are just lowly engineers


Normally, how to deal with and treat the goblins afterward.


How we interact with them in the future is irrelevant.


However, Yukikaze-sama tells us


"We can’t treat them with prejudice because of this incident, right?"


She says that and makes all the soldiers listen to her.


It's them. It was the past of the goblins of this land.






-Shortly before the collapse of the continent, they were just like any other goblins-


One day, they found an unconscious person in the forest.


Normally, humans would run away when they saw a goblin.


But she, Lola


[Thank you]


That's what she said.


The goblins looked cold so they just covered themselves with dry straw.


It is said that Lola taught the goblin various knowledge as thanks.


Letters and calculations


Various stories and tales


Cures for injuries and illnesses


Agriculture


The goblins treated her as a beloved family member.


Then one day


They found a small but deep hole in a mountain where humans can't come.


A hole so small that even a goblin can't fit in, let alone a human.


Water flows from there


The place where the water fell was shining brightly


It was gold


[If you have gold, you can buy many things from humans.]


With that said, Lola went to the human country.


To the kingdom of Onolgo.


With a handful of gold


And Lola never came back.


And then another person came


Many people wear armor and carry weapons.


Humans started killing goblins


Said the surviving human.


[Lola told us.]


Some didn't believe the words


[Lola wouldn’t do that.]


And so some of them, clad in rags, set out for the kingdom of Onolgo.


And what they saw was


Hanged upside down


Pecked at by birds


It was a rotten Lola


They listened to the voices of those around them, and what they learned was how they treated Lola.


When she tried to exchange the gold for money, she was captured by the kingdom.


They asked her where it was.


When Lola refused to answer, the soldiers tortured her.


When she still wouldn't answer, they humiliated her.


When Lola refused to answer, the soldiers became increasingly violent.


Soon after, she died.


When the goblins found out, they became furious.


All the goblins in this land invaded at once to destroy the Kingdom of Onolgo.


All they had left was hatred.


However, they were unable to destroy the Onolgo Kingdom.


It was destroyed before it could be destroyed.


Caught up in the continental collapse


The goblins lost what hatred they had left.


Still, the goblins loved Lola.


So they decided to leave all that Lola had given them in the land.


They will continue to make food even if they far exceed the amount they can eat.


That is their only purpose in life.


The barren land became a paradise surrounded by wild crops.
