Chapter 16 Going to the Dwarf Kingdom
The opportunity to wake up Du En was due to the bumpy and steep mountain road, which caused Du En to fall directly from the trolley.
"Oops!"
Gobuta's yelling could be heard in his ears. Compared with two days ago, Gobuta's speech became much smoother, but what happened to the "hissing" habit behind his mouth?
He shook his head, got up from the ground, and then saw Gobta running towards him.
Compared with two days ago, the appearance has not changed much, but compared with the obviously malnourished body before, it looks much leaner now, and there are more muscles in the arms.
If the previous Gob Tower was only a low-level monster of levels F to E, then the current Gob Tower is probably a high-level monster of D level.
He was keenly aware of the changes in the magic energy in Gobuta's body. Now Gobuta can probably kill an ordinary adult if he is serious about it.
"You're okay, that's great."
Seeing Du En wake up, Gobuta's face suddenly showed a happy expression. Compared with the dull look before, his eyes became more agile, a little less stupid and a little more intellectual.
"What happened to me before?"
After shaking his head, Du En realized that the last bit of magic power in his body had disappeared, and now he had completely turned into an ordinary person without any magic power.
Of course, it cannot be said that he is really an ordinary person. Even if he does not need protection, Du En's overall attributes are above C level, and his endurance attribute has also reached B level. If he was not so embarrassed when he was captured by the empire, this should be considered
What a perfect start.
Later, through the conversation with Gobuta, Du En learned that in this world, naming monsters is a "taboo".
Because when naming a monster, the monster will have a special connection with the namer. Through this connection, the named monster will take away part of the magic power from the namer, and it will be difficult to recover.
If Duen's magic circuit is not damaged, then after naming Gob Tower, Duen's magic level may be forcibly dropped from C level back to C- level, and there will be no way to recover within a few months.
However, because Duen's magic circuit was damaged, what was sucked away was the magic power that overflowed from his cells, so it would not have any adverse effects on Duen's magic circuit.
However, the last bit of magic power in the body used to recover from the injury was exhausted, so Duen's body's self-protection mechanism had to force Duen into a deep sleep, which lasted about two days.
"In other words, because of my naming, you evolved from an ordinary goblin to a high-level individual among goblins, a troublemaker goblin?"
After listening to Gobuta's story, Du En scratched his head. He had never heard of such a thing.
Fortunately, it only consumed extra magic power. If his already damaged magic circuit collapsed due to this kind of thing, then he would not even have a place to cry.
This should be some kind of rule in this world, and it's not something he can figure out now. For detailed information, they have to go to their destination, the dwarf kingdom Varug, where there should be a library or something like that.
As he was thinking about it, a gurgling sound came from Du En's stomach, and Du En's eyes immediately moved to the barbecue on the trolley.
Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten for five days.
Noticing Du En's gaze, Gobuta immediately understood what Du En wanted to express, and he readily took a piece of barbecue from the trolley and handed it to Du En.
"Please eat, no need to be polite to me."
Gobuta said proudly, as if you had taken advantage of him.
This meat seems to be cut from the monsters I killed, right?
Du En murmured in his mind. Although the barbecue in his hand didn't look very good, it shouldn't be so unpalatable that he couldn't swallow it.
Duen, who was extremely hungry, finally gave up his dignity and pride as a home cook and took a strong bite towards the barbecue that was as black as charcoal.
It tastes so bad!
Almost spitting out the meat in his mouth, Du En struggled hard between swallowing and spitting it out.
Although it looks cooked on the outside, it is still raw on the inside, and it is mixed with the smell of coke, making people feel like they are eating charcoal.
The most important thing is that there are no seasonings, not even the most basic salt.
Now that he still has a little physical strength, should he hunt another monster and bake it himself?
After only hesitating for half a second, Du En gave up the idea.
It's just a bit unpalatable, but it's not poisonous. It's probably Gobuta's first time grilling meat, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
Well, maybe this is his first time eating meat.
The eyes that looked at Gobuta gradually showed a trace of pity, but Gobuta didn't know it at all.
"How's the sizzling? The meat I grilled is pretty good, isn't it? Although this is my first time grilling meat, the taste of the meat is exactly as the elders said. It's really delicious." Gobuta said proudly.
"Well, I can barely eat it."
He struggled to swallow the raw meat in his mouth, but after eating it, he found that the taste of the meat was not as bad as he imagined.
Maybe because I'm hungry.
"One more."
Then, Gobuta watched eagerly as Dune ate one piece of barbecue after another, and swallowed all the barbecue that was heavier than himself.
Seeing that Du En was about to eat the last piece of barbecue, Gobuta desperately hugged Du En's thigh, leaving tears of grief.
"You can't eat hiss. There is no more hiss. This is the last one."
When Gobuta said this, Du En reacted and put the last piece of barbecue in Gobuta's hand with some embarrassment.
"I am full."
Rubbing his round belly, the magic power contained in the meat was quickly converted into physical strength by Du En, which was used to repair his damaged magic circuit.
This process takes about two months, which is equivalent to the time it takes for them to reach the dwarf kingdom.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few barbecued meats. I'll kill a few more monsters later."
When Du En said this, Gobuta, who was hugging the last piece of barbecue with heartache, realized what he was doing.
That's right, even if you finish eating the meat, you only need to hunt again. The monsters in this forest are actually quite weak.
Because Du En killed two seemingly powerful monsters in a row, Gobta had the illusion that these monsters were all weak-minded monsters.
"That's right, even if you finish eating the meat, as long as you kill those monsters, you will have meat to eat."
Holding the knife in his hand high, Gobuta said energetically.
And he has become stronger and is now a monster with a name.
After replenishing his physical strength, Dun helped Gobta drag the cart. While talking to Gobta, Duen tried to learn more about the world, and embarked on a journey with him to the dwarf kingdom.
At this time, Du En did not know that a storm centered on him was gradually brewing.
