|?!?!?| She was a little taken aback by his answer. She had expected him to answer with the same in ''No'', like all the previous times she asked him.
However!
She was beyond ted to hear that they had finally begun to near their destination!
O-Of course, she knew of such a thing already, but she just wanted him to say it himself
Yeah, that was definitely it!
It wasn''t because she was too caught up in his voice to bother scanning her surroundings or a-anything like that! Definitely not
|...| A slightly guilty look appeared on her expression as she snuggled her lewd body even deeper into his body, attempting to escape the daunting gaze of Azmond.
"... This girl is seriously-" He began before he was suddenly interrupted.
"What girl?" A dangerous yet melodic voice dripped into his right ear like the most poisonous of honey.
He turned his gaze to the right, only to see two sharp green eyes staring him down.
"... I was trying to say that ''This Girl that I love so much is seriously the most beautiful woman to ever grace the face of this~,''" He spoke such words with a straight face as he returned her intense stare without flinching.
"... Really? You think I''m pretty?" She mumbled in a meek voice with a flushed expression.
"..."
That worked?!?
He lightly shook his head before focusing on the now-shy beauty.
"Well, of course, My Dear. You are so very pretty~ So beautiful that I would get lost in that appearance of yours if I''m not careful~," He whispered such words into the naive beauty''s small ears while blowing a little into them.
"Mhmff~ A-Azmond, not now~!" A muffled moan escaped her red lips as her mind immediately went to the gutter!
She automatically expected such a seductive action from Azmond to lead to something much more ''stimting''.
The suspicious liquid leaking out of her robes was evidence enough of that fact.
**Sniff Sniff**
He sniffed the air and smelled something sweet permeating his senses
His gaze traveled right toward the alluring source of such a scent, and he was left baffled at his Little Ice Flower!
"..." He was speechless at the wanton behavior of this usually emotionless Ice Queen.
And it appeared like she wasn''t the only one leaked from her holy cave, as a particrly flushed brown-eyed beauty was in a simr ''predicament''.
He couldn''t believe the ridiculousness that were these two beautiestched onto him
But luckily for him, or unluckily for most, a sudden change in scenery appeared that grabbed everyone''s uncontended attention!
The usual lush forestndscape with nothing but a few austere mountains and dpidated huts abruptly morphed into arge, expansive assortment of tens of thousands of well structured stone houses.
There were also a fewrger and more advanced castles lying in the distance, beyond the outer periphery of the basic stone houses, as the entire patch of poptednd stretched on for hundreds of miles in every direction!
Popted with what, you might ask?
Short green creatures with long, pointy ears and hideous faces wandered around the streets with a wide variety of weapons on their backs. They wore tattered and worn-down clothes that appeared to be made from the hide of a specific type of animal.
They almost seemed like a civilizedmunity!
At least, they would be...
If not for therge number of humans in chains being led into the city with bloodied and battered bodies''.
**Tap tap**
One of the stragglers in the group of chained humans suddenly slowed his steps
**Thud!**
Before falling to his knees!
Fear crept up the chained-up man''s face as he looked fearfully around him, almost as if he expected something to happen after making such a copse
And then it happened!
**Whip!**
A loud, screechy sound echoed out as a long, gaudy whip with too many hardened tassels to count hit the man with full force!
"AAaahhh!!" He screamed with an anguished expression as he rolled around on the cobbleyered streets.
His entire back became a mangled, bloody mess, as there was no skin left to speak of.
**Thud thud**
That was when the heavy footsteps of the one who inflicted such injury upon the man appeared in view.
It was a 7-foot-tall goblin with the same ugly features as the rest of them, the only difference between it and the others being that this one''s face became a little stretched due to itsrger size.
It wore the same dirtied and tattered ''clothes'' as the rest of the surrounding goblinsgoblins who were currently sneering and maliciouslyughing at the pained screams of the now-dying human.
"Feed this one to the newborns; it is a useless one." The goblin with the whips'' gruff and disgusting-sounding voiceshed out as hisrge, green hands waved forward, almost as if calling someone.
**Step Step**
A few footsteps resounded out as a few goblins in simr attire, around 5 feet tall, approached the wailing figure of the half-dead, mangled human in chains.
They proceeded to cut the chains with their sharp nails before grabbing the human like a bag of meat.
They subsequently disappeared into a random direction of the bustling streets, presumably bringing that human to ''feed the newborns''...
**Thud Thud**
Therger goblin, who had whipped that man half to death, backed away from the scene before heading back to his post.
...
"..." Azmond watched such an event with a dead expression.
Following such a stolid observation was the release of his deep and apathetic voicea voice that came out in a tone colder than ice: "It looks like I have my next quest."
He spoke such words with indifference as he gazed at the shing notification screen that popped up in front of him.
*Ding!* *New Active Quest!*
*Thoroughly ''Clean out'' the goblin kingdom known as ''GoblinHaven'' within 3 days*
....
"What ''Quest'' are you talking about, Azmond?" Crystalline asked with a puzzled look on her face.
''Oops...'' He identally let that slip
