“…. What did Sebas tell you?”
Albedo did not respond.
“So you didn’t actually listen…. I want to save this village. The enemies are those knights in armor lying in the floor over there.”
Seeing Albedo nod her head in understanding, Momonga shifted his eyes.
“Well…”
The two girls shivered from Momonga’s gaze, wanting to hide themselves. They were constantly trembling, unclear if it was because of seeing the Death Knight, or the roar, or hearing Albedo’s statement.
Maybe it was all of those.
Momonga believes he should show a sign of good faith, and reached out his hand to help heal the older sister, but the girls misunderstood his intentions.
The older sister wet herself, the younger sister also couldn’t control herself.
“….”
The smell of ammonia began to spread all around, making Momonga feel an intense feeling of fatigue. Although he did not know what to do, asking Albedo for help would also be useless, so Momonga decided to continue with a kind voice:
“…. You seem to be hurt.”
As a member of society, Momonga was already used to a certain amount of distrust.
Momonga pretended to see nothing and opened up his Item chest to take out a bag. Although this bag was called the Infinite Backpack, you could only put a maximum of 500 kilograms of items in it.
Because the items in this bag could be put into the control panel as shortcuts, the players in YGGDRASIL would always put the items they needed to use quickly inside this bag.
Rummaging through the bag, he finally found a bottle of red syrup.
[Minor Healing Potion].
This small low level drug could heal 50 HP, it would be used often during the early levels of YGGDRASIL. However for Momonga right now, this would be a completely useless item. Because this potion would grant him positive healing, for an undead like Momonga it would be the same as taking poison. However, since not all of his guild members were undead Momonga kept this item around.
“Drink.”
Momonga held out the red syrup. The older sister’s face paled:
“I, I will drink it! But please let my younger sister go───”
“Sister!”
With a crying face, the younger sister was trying to stop the older sister, also apologising to her sister who was going to grab onto the potion. Looking at the interaction between the sisters, Momonga felt confused.
From the beginning he was obviously trying to save them, even going so far as to offer them a potion, why must they show their sisterly affection towards each other in front of him. What the heck is going on.
Not willing to trust anything. Although from the start they were waiting to face death, but right now he should be considered their savior, they should be crying and gratefully thanking him for his kindness. Don’t scenes like these happen a lot in Manga and movies? But the situation in front of him was totally different.
What went wrong? Could it be that I must have a beautiful appearance in order to receive that privilege?
Doubt floated onto Momonga’s skinless face, but then a gentle voice could be heard:
“…Momonga-sama has kindly given you medicine, but to think that you would refuse to accept it… Insignificant beings… You should be killed for your insolence.”
Albedo naturally raised her axe, intending to behead the two of them.
After facing danger to save them, just to receive this kind of treatment… Momonga could understand Albedo’s feelings, but if she killed killed these two children it would defeat the purpose of saving them.
“Wa-, wait, stop being reckless. There are priorities in this situation, put down your weapon.”
“…. Yes, Momonga-sama.”
Albedo warmly replied, putting down her axe.
However Albedo was emitting intense killing intent, strong enough to make the two girls tremble in fear, it also gave Momonga a bad feeling in his stomach.
In short, they should quickly leave this place.
If they continued to stay here, it is unknown how much unfortunate events will happen.
Momonga once again handed out the medicine:
“This drug is medicine, there is no danger. Drink it quickly.”
Momonga said with a strong and gentle tone. At the same time it also implied that if they didn’t quickly drink it, they would be killed.
Hearing that, the older sister quickly took the potion and drank it. Then with a startled expression:
“No way…”
Touching her back, not believing she tried to twist her body, and started to touch and pat her back.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore right?”
“Ye-, yes.”
The older sister nodded in shock.
It seems like the wound on her body was minor, just by using a low level drug would be enough.
Seeing that he was approved of, Momonga wanted to ask a question. This was a question that was impossible to avoid, it could potentially affect future actions.
“Do you know about magic?”
“Ye-, yes. Occasionally the pharmacist will come to our village… Our friends are also able to use magic.”
“… So its like that, then this would make things easier to explain. I am a Magic Caster.”
Momonga began to chant magic:
「Anti-Life Cocoon」
「Wall of Arrow Protection」
With the sisters as the center, a three meter high protective light covered them. The second spell was invisible to the naked eye, but the flow of air around them changed. Usually it was enough to just re-cast the first magic to ensure it was foolproof, but since there was no knowing what kind of spells were available in this world, this had to suffice. If the enemy had a magician within their ranks, then it would just be bad luck for these girls.
“I have surrounded you with protective spells that will protect you from most monsters, and a spell that will weaken ranged attacks. All you have to do is to stay here and you should be safe — just in case, I’ll hand you this item.”
The sisters were shocked at the description of the magic, Momonga then threw two plain horns at them. The horns were not stopped by the magic and fell through the Wall of Arrow Protection to land next to the sister’ side.
“That item is called ‘Horn of the Goblin General’, you just need to blow into the horn and Goblins — small monsters will appear in front of you. You can order them to protect yourselves.”
In YGGDRASIL, other than consumables, some items were able to be converted into data crystals, making it possible to add their effect to other items. Still, there were certain items that couldn’t be converted and this horn was one of those low level items.
With this horn, Momonga was able to summon twelve weak Goblins, two Goblin Archers, one Goblin Mage, one Goblin Priest, two Goblin Wolf Riders and one Goblin Leader.
Also known as the Goblin army, it was a small force and pretty weak.
For Momonga, this was a trash item and it was strange he didn’t threw it away yet. Being able to find a proper use for this item right now, Momonga felt really clever.
