Knights, Let’s Smash Them

Chapter 26

26 – It became a village with no roots (1)

When I first talked about living with the goblins without killing them, the opinions of the residents of Tiffen Village were unexpectedly split in half.

Most of the people in favor were actually face-to-face with the goblins a few times over barracks work and food disposal.

-A stupid thing is somehow cute if you watch it.

-As the administrator said, it’s perfect for our farming…… !

From what I’ve actually experienced, it wasn’t that threatening.

It is the theory that it is not even more dangerous now that the armament has been completely disarmed.

However, the argument made by the opposing side is also extremely valid.

-Still, it’s a monster. No matter how many cases there are in the south, there aren’t many villages that don’t!

-Why is it our village? Can’t we just throw it out?

-What if they kidnap and eat my little daughter!

In fact, goblins were cannibals.

Do you think people who eat anything, whether it’s deer or rabbits, are considered human?

However, if the goblins start recognizing humans as ‘comrades’ or ‘masters’ rather than prey, the story will definitely change.

In the end, the conclusion that I and the Snow Leopard Knights came to was that the Knights resided here for a while and managed the goblins.

That said, there were only six people, including me as the administrator.

The three of them, Vice-captain Emain, Barbara, and Heinz, decided to return to the capital and take care of Knights affairs.

With the fact that Count Rupel, the actual lord, and the golden dragon’s rare were thrown, the actual main task of the knights seemed to be to stabilize the situation here.

It’s already been a week since the uncomfortable cohabitation between the goblins and the villagers began.

The atmosphere of the village, which had been cold at first, was quite different.

“Chunshik! Eat well and do it~!!”

“Bob, let’s eat!”

At the villager’s words, the golden goblin raised its head from the wheat field.

Golden goblins in the golden wheat fields covering one side of the village.

It was a strangely fitting sight, but soon other goblins came out from everywhere with their heads up.

“Bread!”

“Fruits!”

“Yes, yes, you have to chew slowly!”

The owner of the wheat field said to me, looking proudly at the goblins taking the bread and fruit from the basket.

“Certainly, the harvesting speed is incomparably faster. I think we can expand the field a bit more during the next harvest season.”

“Isn’t there a shortage of farmland in Rupel Manor? In order to develop further in the future, crop yields must continue to increase.”

“Seriously, don’t worry~! Chuck!”

He was a typical opponent of goblins, but he immediately turned to support after confirming the labor force of goblins harvesting wheat at an incredibly fast pace in the past week.

“That, and what…… Don’t be too hard on the goblins. You know?”

“Oh, that’s natural~. No matter how much a monster helps, you should pay for it! Are we human or animal seals?”

Of course, goblins weren’t just good at farming and mining.

“Youngsik is Youngsik!”

“Catch me!!”

“Crackle!!!”

Assuming that no one is the best monster in terms of adaptability alone, the goblins terribly melted into the society as soon as they settled in the village.

The most curious thing among them.

It was true that goblins play well with children.

“Geruk, I caught you, you, you are the tagger!”

“Look for me~~!”

Is it because the mental and physical age is between 7 and 10 years old?

It felt strange to see the children who would normally be the most easygoing and often attacked, entangled with those goblins.

Is this a friendship that transcends the race or something?

At first, the parents who said not to get close to the goblins began to open up little by little as they saw how the goblins got along well with the children.

To be honest, from a parent’s point of view, there is nothing more likable than taking care of children.

It is not for nothing that Korea’s best export product, K-Children’s System Taekwondo, is taking the world by storm.

“I really thought this would work.”

“I told you, Sianne?”

Our Knight Commander, who was initially concerned about it, seems to have judged the goblins as completely ‘harmless’.

Well, saying that monsters are unconditionally bad is also a purely binary story.

Then, just because there are robbers or people who belong to some sort of strict command group, it doesn’t mean that all humans are unconditionally bad.

If you don’t belong to the army of ‘chaos’ that dominates monsters, of course you can get along like this.

“By the way, do you have any letters from us?”

“Ummm…… I did get a call from Jakob Polo, head of the mistletoe guild.”

“I didn’t say that, but what is it?”

“I want to buy some gold ore in Tiffen Village… ….”

“If that’s the case, welcome. Please tell me to come once this has happened.”

“Okay.”

Xian Ne nodded her head.

Rumors about Tiffen Village, where you can enjoy unlimited gold ore, were spreading intermittently.

Even now, goblins and some miners entered the mine and continued to mine gold ore.

Earl Rupel told me to keep quiet about the gold dragon, but the gold ore produced in the mine is completely different.

Aside from being dangerous, why not just leave a facility that is creating tremendous value?

Besides, the dangerous areas have been marked out in advance, so it should be fine as long as you don’t get curious.

From the point of view of the villagers, a plausible gold mine suddenly opened in a village on the outskirts, so they showed more enthusiasm for gold mining than anyone else.

As a result, at least 20kg of gold ore was being produced per day.

“Even though the size of the fog flower guild is small, it is a guild that has continued to trade with our territory, so we should give it this level of merit.”

“I agree. But if it’s not about the top, what news is the Administrator waiting for…….”

The moment Xian Ne continued to speak her words.

“Bi-yo-oo-!!”

A noise resounded throughout the village, like dozens of vultures howling at the same time.

A huge shadow covering the bright sun.

“Geruk?! Gerrure!!”

Even the goblins are startled by the noise, which is sure to make people nervous when they hear it for the first time.

“Sure it is. There’s no way that son of a b*tch will send a letter first.”

Even though it’s been over a year, laughter flowed out of me at the unchanging appearance.

“That…… ?”

“The captain must have heard the story of the great adventurer Pyrhak.”

When I said that, Xi’an Ne’s expression entered her buffering for a moment, and then she opened her mouth and shouted.

“Dragon Rider Pyrhak!!?”

“Well, I think there was a nickname like that. I am often called a dyno.”

“Are you a hypers*xual?”

As I waved my hand, the huge creature that was spinning in the sky over the village glides quickly and lands in front of my eyes.

“Beeooooo!!”

“Whoa, I know you’re excited because it’s been a long long flight…… Can we calm down?”

Flying Dragon.

Light blue hair, as bright as the color of a green wyvern.

Then a man with his hair tied back jumped from behind the flying dragon.

“Hey~ Long time no see, Lubern! Is the divine water in full bloom?”

He brushed the hem of my trousers and laughed with a smirk.

The great adventurer Pyrhak.

Aside from that, he’s called the Dragon Rider and the Dragon Warrior, but he’ll always be remembered as an idealist.

Why?

That bastard’s wife was a polymorphed dragon.

***

The residents of the village urgently appeared with farm tools when the flying dragon appeared out of nowhere, but when they saw the blue-haired man and the blue wyvern, they recognized it at once.

“Isn’t that Pirhak!?”

“Why is the legendary adventurer here…… ?”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Come on, calm down! I’ll be here for the next few days, so I’ll do the autograph slowly.”

The sight of him leisurely waving his hand at the gathered residents was disgusting to see after a long time.

I’m afraid that Ji is a celebrity.

“Anyway, is that story true? If you called simply because you wanted to see me, you would have to pay for the travel expenses.”

“Obviously real, otherwise why am I calling you?”

“I’m sorry, my friend~. Aren’t we really close friends!?”

You unlucky bastard.

Even if I say this, since he was one of the party I worked with during the expedition, I could say that he was quite close with me.

Because he has the highest name value among the few ‘friends’ I can mobilize right away.

He has a handsome face like a parasitic brother, so even if he hadn’t been swept away by all kinds of popularity, he would have been a bit likable.

“By the way, who is this beautiful woman next to you? Are you looking for someone to marry?”

“Breast, marriage…… !?”

“No, you idiot. He’s my new boss, so excuse me.”

“A boss at work? What about the Black Lion Knights?”

“It’s a long story. Let’s talk about the rest somewhere secluded…….”

I formally introduced Pyrhak to the captain.

“Captain Xianne, this is Pyrhak. Pirhaq, this is Captain Xianne of the Snow Leopard Knights.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Ah, yes, yes…… !! Nice to meet you! Personally, I was a fan!”

“?? I heard you were my fan last time.”

“Ah…… Yeah, that’s right too. Should I say it’s a bit different between Sir Pyrhak and Lubern Administrator…….”

Hearing that, Firhak glanced at me with his eyes slightly narrowed. The twitching of the eyebrows was very disgraceful.

As I raised my fist and fed him potatoes, he smiled and even shook hands with Xianne.

“Thank you for the favor. You have a lot of trouble managing our Luvern.”

“On the contrary, I am receiving a lot of help…… Ah, yes, but the magistrate! Was the dragon expert you talked about the other day, Lord Pirhak?”

“Yes, I bet there is no one in the Empire who is as knowledgeable about dragons as this bastard.”

Of course.

No matter how much lost scholars have to learn knowledge about dragons, can they only get offspring that have been planted by dragons?

“Then the flying dragon next to you is the source of the rumor…… !”

“Yes, I am Lucius, the only wyvern that the Imperial Emperor personally bestowed on me the pen name ‘Heaven’s Messenger’.”

“Wow!!”

Sianne jumped like she did when she first saw the steel sword made by Damas. Her blue eyes sparkle like sapphires.

“Would you like to ride?”

“Is that really okay!?”

“It won’t work.”

Pirhaq said while stroking the wings of the wyvern, and she approached the wyvern as if possessed.

Hmm, I don’t like something.

I suddenly had the urge to bully Xianne.

“By the way, Captain, you know what?”

“What?”

“Lucius is a male, so he only picks up people he approves of.”

“Eh?”

When I secretly give a signal, Pir Haq notices the meaning and closes his left eye slightly.

“Oh, that’s right. I forgot because I was burning myself in the middle of the day.”

“What must I do to get recognition? Like putting an aura on it…….”

“It’s not like that. All you have to do is dance.”

“A dance???”

Sianne looks at me as if she is absurd.

“Why, isn’t there such a courtship dance? Wyverns communicate with each other by dancing like that.”

Perfect Gourada.

There’s no way a dragon can communicate with something like that.

But when not only me but also Pir Haq nodded her head lightly and agreed, Xianne seemed to let her look good.

“If you are thinking of riding, now is the time. He even flew in until just now, and Lucius has a lot of emotional ups and downs.”

That’s a fact.

Wyvern riding isn’t something anyone can do at any time unless you’re like Pyrhak.

Xian Ne was in serious trouble when she was told that she could only ride now.

Isn’t it another limited event that makes people crazy?

Wouldn’t it be common to ride on the back of a flying dragon?

“…… I’ll do it! How should I dance?”

In the end, she seemed to have decided to let go of her pride as the leader of her knights.

“Now, first of all, raise her arms up like this… ….”

“Raise her arms up… ….”

Then her white armpits were exposed. Sian Ne trembled slightly in embarrassment.

“Is this right!?”

“Yes, yes, that is correct.”

I started tutoring Xianne, desperately suppressing the laughter that was about to spill out.

“Next, if I gently rock her pelvis from side to side like this… ….”

“What is this!! That’s manly!”

“Ugh~ Are you ignoring the nature of the wyvern? Lucius must be sad.”

“Ugh…… !!”

At my urging words, Xian Ne had no choice but to move her hips little by little.

“Hey…… Like this…… ?”

Embarrassed, maybe it was really embarrassing.

Even so, it was a knight’s uniform made of a material similar to tights, so it was a bonus that the streamlined curves were revealed without fail every time she shook her body.

“Yes, that is it! You can do it more gently and slowly, as if tempting your opponent!”

“Ugh…… !”

“In the East, this is called Zero Two. It means the road that leads to the emperor. Isn’t it like the dance of a wyvern like the king of the sky?”

Xian Ne kept turning her pelvis.

At first, the movement was creaky, but now it seems to be bouncing the pelvis properly.

Tears welled up in Xi’an Ne’s eyes at her shame, which increased in proportion to her dancing skills.

“Oh, how long do I have to do this!!!”

“Lucius can stop.”

I gave a signal to Pyrhak.

“Okay, Lucius. Show this pure lady the sky and come.”

“Beeooooo!!”

Flutter!! The wyvern’s wings spread wide, and it bit Cianne lightly and threw it onto my back.
