Goblin Slaughterhouse
The party thought about the return time and decided to return a little early. The night is dark and scary in this savage world. There was no way there were street lights, and it was complete darkness outside the city. Even within the city, if you walk around in the dark without a torch or lantern, you may be arrested.
Returned to Bimarn’s guild and handed over the goblin ears. A total of 51 pieces, 102 fairy tales. It’s a staggering amount. Even with 25 each, there are two left. The fatigue disappeared from everyone’s faces and bright smiles took over.
“It’s also a celebration of our meeting, so let’s have a drink.”
Barnes smiled as he showed the two remaining fairy tales. Hyeonjun also did not refuse this time. It was going to be a place to make a fixed party. This is a place not to be missed.
“good. You still need to take off your gear. Wipe off some blood.”
“Then let’s wrap up and gather here again. You should come soon. The latecomer will be left behind.”
Barnes grinned as he told the story. No one told him he had two fairy tales until he went to the bar. No idiot would throw away a fixed party like this for two fairy tales. It doesn’t matter if Vance runs away. If the three of us make a party, we will make a lot of money, although not as much as today. So we parted ways without saying anything that would ruin the atmosphere.
As soon as Hyun-joon arrived at the inn, he handed Helen 7 fairy tales. The price includes the next lodging fee and water for washing.
“I guess you made some money today?”
“Because don’t worry. Give me some water.”
“okay.”
Hyeonjun entered the room, took off his equipment, sat down on the bed, and opened the status window.
[Hyeonjun Kang]
Attribute: Analysis
Protection: Protection of the Goddess of Education and Growth
Karma: 11
11 karma! Killing goblins during the afternoon raised my karma by 6. Compared to the rise of 3 in the morning, it is double. This is because he quickly got used to combat and the number of goblins he personally killed increased.
“hahahaha···.”
Just looking at the accumulated karma makes me smile. Every day may not be like today, but it feels like the faint hope is showing reality.
“Leave it at the door.”
While Hyeon-jun was stunned and laughing, Helen said outside the door. Hyeonjun opened the door and brought a bucket of water, took a little, brushed his teeth, and washed his face with the rest. The remaining water was soaked in a cloth and wiped all over the body.
You want to take a proper shower or soak, but to do so you have to go to a public bath, and it costs money. It is difficult for Hyun-joon, who has lived in modern times where cleanliness is the key, but thanks to prison and slavery, he can endure it.
After simply washing and changing clothes, I headed to the guild. In front of the guild, everyone except Hyeonjun had already gathered.
“Why are you so late? I was really going to go, knowing you weren’t coming.”
“Sorry, I was a little late washing up. let’s go.”
The other three seem to have only wiped off the blood without washing thoroughly like Hyeon-jun. It’s a terrible hygiene concept.
I followed Barnes into a large tavern. It was full of people who had finished their day’s work. Everyone is busy eating, drinking and talking, so the inside of the bar is like a market floor.
I barely sat down at the table, avoiding people.
“What is delicious here?”
“All the food in the tavern is there. But the beer is pretty good.”
In response to Barnes’ answer, Hyeon-jun raised his hand and shouted loudly, finding the right employee in the mess.
“Employee!”
“yes!”
A boy who didn’t even have a mustache yet approached, avoiding people very well.
“One beer at a time! Two fairy tales, one of the best!”
Then he reached out to the other party members. It is a gesture to give money quickly. Everyone took out a fairy tale one by one and handed it to them. Barnes handed over three of the remaining fairy tales. A fairy tale for a glass of beer. There are people who change the size of the glass, but no one changes the price. This is the rule of the world.
After the boy left, Shosanna asked Hyeon-jun as if he was surprised.
“Are you used to it?”
“Because I used to work at a bar.”
Because Hyun-joon lived in modern times, his teeth and skin are clean and his behavior is somehow neat. So, in fact, except for the exotic appearance, it seemed to the people here that they grew up in a fairly decent home. However, as if they are used to cheap taverns, everyone seems to be surprised.
Soon after, beer and food came out. It is a dish of pork cut into large pieces, seasoned, grilled, and served with vegetables. It’s a terrible dish, but it’s fun just to eat meat. This place is just something to enjoy even the smell of meat.
“Let’s drink first!”
“Cheers!”
Perhaps he likes alcohol quite a bit, Yetir shouted excitedly to lighten the mood, and everyone took a sip. It was lukewarm and not carbonated, but it had its own taste because the scent of barley came up. Of course, it couldn’t compare to the cold, carbonated beer we used to drink in modern times. Beer, which is called pee in Korea, is no different from a heavenly drink here.
“sh*t! It’s cow urine!”
“This is enough!”
Shosanna and Yetir chuckled. I cut the meat roughly and took a big bite. It’s also dirty and boring. However, the gravy overflowed and everyone was busy eating non-stop.
“How long has it been since everyone started being adventurers?”
“So how old are you?”
“I’m a little over a month old now.”
“Baby, you’re still a kid. I am two months old.”
“A month or two.”
“What, man?”
Shosanna answered the question from Yetir. Yetir for one month, Shosanna for two months. It’s not long, but it’s medium-sized among the F-class. There is no limit on adventurer registration. Even a 15-year-old can do it. As a result, more than half of the F-ranks are full of adventurers who have been adventurers for less than a month, and there are many people who continue to stay in F-ranks running small errands, so naturally, after a month or so, they become middle-class.
The difference between F-class and E-class is that they have skills, but also the difference in reliability. First of all, accept it as an F grade and say, ‘Ah, this guy is trying to be a real adventurer.’ If you want, you can raise it to E-level. Those who go up will be promoted to E-class within three months. Because we look at performance rather than ability, it takes three months unless you are extremely strong. And a guy that strong had no reason to act like an adventurer.
“How long have you been, Barnes? Oh, wait. I’ll try to guess. Well, two months, no. Two and a half months!”
The drunk Yetir, who seemed to like alcohol and was weak, asked Vance while talking nonsense. Hyun-joon was also curious about the career of Barnes, who had good skills, so he watched Barnes with high expectations. said Barnes with a grin.
“Wrong. Too bad.”
Then he snatched the fish Yetir was about to pick up and ate it.
“Then three months?”
When Shosanna asked, Vance looked at Hyeon-jun.
“one month?”
At Hyeonjun’s words, Barnes giggled.
“It’s all wrong! It’s a week!”
Then I drank a beer. Everyone looked at Barnes in surprise. I thought he must have had a lot of experience because he was good at giving instructions, but it’s been a week!
“sh*t! A kid is the head of our party!”
Yetir exclaimed. After that, I glanced at him to see if he was sorry too, but no one threw up. It’s already been confirmed, and it’s just that I didn’t say it.
Everyone said nothing, but Yetir continued.
“You fought well, what did you do?”
“I was just a farmer. But my father was an adventurer, so I only learned a little.”
Everyone nodded and moved on. Only Hyeon-jun noticed that it was a lie. But it passed quietly. Don’t try to dig deep into each other’s past. It is the rule of this floor.
Yetir changed the target to Hyeon-jun.
“Jun, how long have you been?”
“Can you guess?”
“Write!”
Then, he jumped up and looked carefully at Hyeon-jun, who was drinking beer. This time, I am full of will to never go wrong.
“Oh, that looks so tacky. Are you gay?”
“Oh, stay.”
Even though Shosanna smiled, Yetir looked at Hyeon-jun with a serious face. Drunk men tend to cling to useless work.
“one week! Jun You are also one week right? Didn’t you start with Barnes?”
“What about Shosanna?”
“Um, a month for me?”
“Puhahahaha!”
Barnes burst into laughter. Hyunjoon also said with a big laugh.
“I’m on my second day today!”
“Nonsense!”
Yetir shouted and Shosanna looked at Hyeon-joon with wide-open eyes, as if surprised.

“Things like that happen, too.”
Hyeonjun behaved like a woman and ate a piece of meat.
“Take him as your brother.”
Shocked, Yetir smiled mischievously. Skills are important, career is not important. It’s a fact that everyone knows, so it can be said as a joke.
“Brother, take me as your sister. Got it?”
“Yes, sister.”
Everyone giggled, drank beer and chatted. While talking more happily, Barnes casually said a word.
“Oh right. We’re going to be active as a fixed party starting tomorrow, how is it?”
“It’s good! Let’s do it well. Income is properly quartered.”
Then, as if he was saying something obvious, he just skipped over it. Everyone got drunk and drank another beer each. It was the first time Hyeon-joon had enjoyed it after coming to another world, so he got excited and got a little drunk.
The atmosphere was the best, but I woke up with regret because I had to catch the goblin the next day too. Yetir regretted it the most. Now there was no awkwardness or feeling of slight distance from each other when we first met.
“See you tomorrow morning. Is there anyone who can’t wake up just because he drank it?”
“Don’t be a jerk and get up well!”
We parted ways after swearing at each other in a friendly way.
Ten days passed like that. Now Hyun-joon has moved to a decent inn and saved up a lot of money. There were too many copper coins, so the bank exchanged them for silver coins. Basically, it is one silver coin for 100 copper coins, but the weight is thoroughly measured because of the guys who scratch the corners of the coins. Because of this, Hyeon-jun was able to pay 116 copper coins and exchange them for one silver coin.
And the farmer who ran away on the first day was confirmed dead. A body was found in the forest. He disposed of the longsword and divided the money with Barnes.
The party has stabilized quite a bit, so now the guild is paying attention. It was because I couldn’t kill more than 50 goblins every day like the first day, but I steadily killed more than 30 goblins. Shosanna told me that if we did well, we could group up as a party and move up to E-rank together. She is an informed person worthy of a royal sister.
Hyeonjun is now a skilled warrior. Thanks to the blessing of the goddess of education and growth, he grew up surprisingly fast even for himself. Of course, the influence of Barnes was great. It was no different from learning by copying his fighting style. Barnes noticed it right away, but he didn’t tell him directly, but he actually taught Hyeon-jun by showing his posture.
And the most encouraging fact for Hyeonjun is that he has already accumulated karma up to 78. It won’t be long before you reach 100, and a shop will open as a quest reward.
A hopeful day followed. If it went on like this, there was nothing more to wish for. But things suddenly changed. The lord decided to intervene in the goblin subjugation.
“Damn, goodbye to the good times.”
Yetir said, putting down his beer glass.
“Still, I can’t help it. The nobles intervene, what should I do?”
Shosanna said the same thing, but with a dull expression.
“It was definitely strange. Too many goblins.”
That is why the lord intervened. There are too many goblins in the forest. It is a forest right in front of the city, and there is also a large road next to the forest. There, the forest is no different from a treasure. Wood, food, leather, all kinds of things are produced, and a lot of people come and go. However, the number of goblins suddenly increased.
That’s why adventurers got two fairy tales for one goblin ear. Originally, it was one fairy tale per ear, but as the number of goblins suddenly increased, the reward increased with the support of the lord.
The number of adventurers entering the forest to kill goblins skyrocketed, and they actually killed many goblins. Hyeon-jun’s party has killed over 300 goblins in the last 10 days. Even if you consider that most of the stupid F-class adventurers are on top of that, if you add the goblins killed by other adventurers? I can’t even imagine how many I’ve killed.
Even so, the number of goblins continued to grow. Today Hyunjun’s party killed over 40 goblins even though they only fought on the outskirts of the forest. In addition, among the adventurers and workers in the forest, casualties are increasing one after another. Even yesterday, more than 10 adventurers could not return. No word yet today, but tomorrow word will circulate that a few people have died.
The mood is getting worse. Money is good, but life comes first. As the adventurers also began to shake their hands and run away, the lord drew his sword.
Three days later, Bimarn’s army moves. This is what the armed regular army is doing. Even if only 100 soldiers are dispatched, 300 servings of food will be consumed in a day. In addition, the salary, the composition of the supply route, and the consumption of all kinds of materials would cost an unimaginable amount of money, but he pulled out the sword.
In a week at the most, it would be hard to find a single rat, let alone a goblin, in the forest. Today, the lord’s proclamation was hung in the plaza, and many adventurers began to leave. All citizens were delighted. The goblins themselves are a threat, but the adventurers have made security worse.
“What do we do? Should we get out of Bimarn too?”
“No, at times like this, you have to earn more.”
Hyeonjun refuted Yetir’s complaint. Everyone paid attention to Hyeonjun’s words, who usually behaved cautiously.
“Goblins aren’t a threat to our skills. Now that the adventurers are out, we can kill more goblins and earn that much money. It’s not too late to earn as much as possible and let go when the military intervenes.”
In fact, they were capable of doing so. Now my hands and feet fit well and my skills have improved a lot. Not only Hyeonjun, but also Yetir and Shosanna learned how to fight more skillfully than before. It’s worth a try.
In fact, Hyun-joon felt like he was going crazy with his nervousness. If you collect 220,000 karma, you get 100. But three days later, the military completely cleared the forest. Can you collect 22 karma in two days? You have to kill more than 50 of them in a day as if you were fighting normally. If you move passively just because there are a lot of goblins, it’s an unbelievable number.
“What do you think of Barnes?”
At Shosanna’s words, everyone turned to Barnes. No matter what, the party leader is Vans. Vance must make a decision whether to kill the goblins or leave the non-marns.
“I consider it an opportunity.”
Hyunjoon let out a sigh of relief.
“Now, I can kill as many goblins as there are fewer adventurers. In addition, with the number of adventurers drastically reduced, there must have been a vacuum in the military force until three days later when the military intervened. The performance that is built at this time will be bigger. If I do well, I might be able to go up to E-class.”
Class E! Yetir and Shosanna’s eyes twinkled. In particular, Yetir changed his passive attitude and shouted excitedly.
“Good! I agree!”
Considering that the average time for talented guys to rise to E-rank is three months, Yetir becomes E-rank a month and a half sooner. Shosanna should shorten it by about 15 days. What about Barnes and Hyunjun? E grade in less than a month!
Greed flashed in everyone’s eyes. Starting from E rank, you can receive really proper requests. It can also be used for escorting the upper tier or for official requests from nobles. Of course, the money received goes up significantly, and the treatment also changes.
“Then let’s stop drinking today and go home early. We have to leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow!”
When Yetir, who likes alcohol the most, shouted that, everyone laughed and stood up. It should be tight for two days. You should eat well and sleep well.
