Chapter 423: Goblins

Two minutes later, Charles landed on the grassy land, released his wisdom power, and soon turned his gaze towards a particular direction.

"Oh? A goblin settlement? No, this one looks like a mini-town for the goblins." Although it was located more than 2 km away, finding the exact location wasn't a problem for him.

"Should I go and meet them?" He nodded inwardly, controlled his wisdom power, and flew upward.

Then, he made a turn and shot towards that particular direction. After flying for a while, he soon saw a town filled with tribal huts and bamboo houses. He even saw many green humanoids roaming here and there and was surprised a little.

In a minute, he arrived above the small town and then looked down at the small creatures. They were green, ugly, and wore hand-knitted clothes. He even saw the feminine-looking goblins wearing jewelry like bangles, earrings, nose pins, and bone-made necklaces and looked old-fashioned.

But what surprised him most was that they appeared uniform and civilized.

At that moment, he saw many of them gathered at the center of the settlement and conversing politely with the nearby goblins.

Smiles and laughs echoed everywhere.

He also saw the small ones that appeared before the raised platform and looked at an old goblin with expectation eyes.

No, some were not looking at the old goblin but the carcasses of wild wolves. Drools appeared in those small kids' mouths, and they looked acted more like real human kids. They even held their hands together and whispered among themselves from time to time.

'These are the demon monsters, huh.' Charles chuckled inwardly and soon shifted his attention towards the old goblin.

He instantly knew that this old goblin was the same one that appeared in the soul imprint!

He also saw many guards among the group and noticed a big difference.

Unlike the normal goblins, the guards were much taller and almost reached the same height as Humans!

'Variants?' Charles raised his eyebrows in surprise, cast [Arcane Eyes] skill, and analyzed a single guard.

'Hobgoblin?'

He then shifted his gaze towards the old goblin and soon widened his eyes.

'A Rank-2 Wind Shaman, huh? Hmm, this goblin should know more about this pocket dimension.' He muttered inwardly, zeroed his gaze on the old goblin, and cast [Fire Seed] spell on it.

A second later, a purple seed appeared in the old goblin's Inner World and started burning its memories.

In the meantime, the old goblin showed a confused look on his face and soon gripped his head. Although some Hobgoblins tried to help him, he backed away hurriedly in fear and started shouting at them in a foreign language.

Although the old goblin couldn't understand why he started forgetting some things, he felt that his men might've poisoned him!

In truth, he was already on the verge of going on a berserk mode.

His eyes appeared a little maniacal at that moment, and he also started muttering a strange incantation under his breath.

On the other hand, the thousands of goblins stopped shouting and looked at each other in confusion. Only the young kids didn't care about the insane old goblin and locked their gazes on the wolves' carcasses.

"Hmm, I think it will take a few hours for the [Fire Seed] spell to erase all of his memories." Charles watched the town from the sky and was about to move towards the next settlement but stopped.

At that moment, he noticed that fierce wind-elemental energy was coming out of the old goblin's body and got startled.

'T-This… The mere fluctuation has the power of rank-3 spell!'

A second later, more than hundreds of [Wind Blade] spells came out of the old goblin's body and went in different directions.

Upon seeing this, Charles frowned deeply, waved his hand, and stopped those hundreds of wind blades with his pure wisdom power.

'This goblin isn't showing any mercy towards its men at all. Is he hiding something from the rest? Wait. What is the cause of that earlier elemental fluctuation?'

Furrowing his brows, he locked his gaze on the old goblin's body and soon noticed a strange stone appeared inside his chest area.

A second later, Charles's wisdom power entered the goblin's body sooner and started analyzing a hexagonal-shaped crystal.

'Is it a wind-elemental crystal? Moreover, a Rank-2 crystal?' He was stunned inside.

Even though the crystal had some strange wicked power, Charles confirmed that it was indeed a wind-elemental crystal!

'Could all these goblins have something similar in their chests?' He couldn't help but shift his gaze towards the other goblins.

After some analysis, he learned that every goblin had a strange crystal hidden in their chest! But unlike the elemental crystal in the old goblin's chest, the ones that appeared in the other goblins were dense mana crystals.

'All the elements are mixed in those crystals and appeared impure. But I think I can refill my spell models using a large amount of these mana crystals.' A flash of surprise appeared on his face.

He also saw different sizes of mana crystals and decided to study more about them later.

He wanted to gain some understanding of this pocket dimension first.

Without any delay, he retracted his gaze from the crowd and shot in the other direction.

After a few minutes of flying, he soon arrived above a new settlement and looked at it.

This time, it wasn't a goblin settlement, but Orc Settlement!

Unlike the goblins, these Orcs appeared fatter, taller, and stronger.

They had the heads of pigs, were 3 to 4 meters tall, and looked barbaric. They wore small clothes to cover their private parts and held wooden clubs and sticks as their weapons.

'Unlike the goblins, these Orcs are sleeping in the wild.' He shook his head in disappointment and continued to fly in the other direction.

For the next few hours, he roamed all over the pocket dimension and saw different kinds of creatures, plants, trees, and even some magical beasts in the woods.

Yes, he indeed encountered more than twenty magical beasts with wind and nature elements. Some were three-eyed wolves, while the rest were plant-type creatures.

Not only that, but he also found more than 200 different types of potion materials in the woods and became surprised. If not for his [Arcane Eyes] skill, he wouldn't have realized that this pocket dimension had too many precious materials!

'I need to show this to Runeth and let him decide if these potion materials are worth it or not.' He thought to himself as he hovered 500 meters above the land and looked at the dark-skinned goblin-like creatures. But unlike the goblins, these creatures had pure chaos energy in their bodies!

'This must be the Imp race. But they look so evil and aggressive.' He looked at them quietly and was about to continue his work but stopped.

At that moment, a piece of memory appeared in his Inner World.

It was about the Pioneer Knight's belongings and his graveyard!

'Oh? That old goblin knew of the Pioneer Knight?' Charles's eyebrows rose upward.
