Goblin Reincarnation in Another World (Anime/Manga)

Page 110

“I’ll send people to look for him right away. Don’t worry, maybe the child ran out to play this morning. Even if he was kidnapped, it’s only been one night. The person in the forest can’t have gone far. Chunxue-kun, fly up into the sky right now and carefully check the surrounding area. The target is a child under 10 years old.”

"learn."

Haruyuki Arita also knew the urgency of the situation. Without even eating, she quickly flew up into the sky and began searching the vicinity according to Ushiko's orders, hoping to find the missing child as soon as possible.

"Shokuhou Misaki and Asuna, you two stay here to protect everyone. Yoru, Misato Shizuku, Yang Yang, and Kuroyukihime, the four of you come with me to search outside. Each of you will go in a different direction. Kuroyukihime, you keep in touch with Haruyuki-kun at all times. If you find that the enemy has kidnapped the children, have him notify everyone immediately. Try not to fight the enemy alone."

Despite his usual carefree attitude, Niu Zida becomes incredibly reliable when it comes to making decisions. Under his command, everyone in the camp immediately sprang into action. Niu Zida had Joel carry him as they searched to the north. Holding Joel's large armpit, Niu Zida was deep in thought, his face serious. Joel didn't dare interrupt his master, sensing that his master seemed preoccupied since his arrival. He had asked many questions since yesterday but hadn't reached any conclusions, whereas in the past, his master had always been able to make quick judgments.

"Master...do you think the children of the Severn family got lost on their own?"

"Impossible. That child is weak and cries a lot. If he woke up before the adults did, he would probably make a noise to alert others immediately."

"So you mean it was indeed kidnapped?"

"Yes, but the other party was able to sneak in silently without anyone noticing. It seems that the opponent has stealth skills. But why would they kidnap a child?"

Originally, Joel wanted to say in private that the noise her master made with Misaki Shokuhou in the tent last night had attracted everyone's attention, but she thought that saying it would make it seem like she was shifting all the blame to her master, so she swallowed her words.

"If the other party really has stealth skills, we probably won't be able to find them even if we search like this."

"The fact that they're operating at night suggests they're not confident they can handle so many of us, or perhaps they're just using the cover of darkness. I can't act during the day. I'm just gambling that they might be hiding somewhere during the day. I hope everyone spreads out to search and find their hiding place nearby. Since they didn't kill the child but only abducted him, they probably won't harm him for now. Finding him as soon as possible is best. A little later..."

Chapter 371

"The exact point is hard to say."

After all, there had been several murders in this area before. Although there was no evidence to suggest that the missing child was the same person who committed the previous murders, the continuous occurrence of strange cases in such a sparsely populated place would make anyone think that the perpetrator was probably the same person.

"But how can we find it right now...?"

Joel looked troubled, probably thinking it would be too difficult to find the other party. Since the other party could snatch the child from them silently, they might not be able to find where they were hiding.

"Of course I have a way, but we'll talk about it tonight..."

"At night? But Master...won't it be too dangerous at night? Let's split up..."

"That's exactly what I'm after. Based on my judgment, this is the only way to proceed. If it fails, it will prove that my judgment was wrong, but I already have a general idea of ​​what to do in this case..."

Niu Zida pinched Joel's large breast and said this. Joel looked puzzled, not understanding what her master was thinking. She could only do as Niu Zida instructed. In any case, Niu Zida's judgment had been quite accurate all along, and she was willing to trust her master in this regard.

The group searched scattered throughout the day without finding anything. As darkness fell, Niu Zida climbed onto Yor's beautiful back and, seeing Yor's tired appearance, comforted her, saying:

"Yor, hang in there a little longer. Our operation will begin once the sun sets. Eat some dry rations and drink some water to replenish your strength..."

"It's alright, Master..."

Following Niu Zida's instructions, Yor replenished some food and water, and after resting for a while, the sun completely set. They had searched almost the entire forest area during the day but had not found the missing child. Yor was getting a little discouraged, but Niu Zida did not care. He simply told Yor to rest for a while and not to go back but to continue searching outside.

As darkness fell, while Joel rested, Chunxue specifically sought out Niu Zida to inquire about their next move. Niu Zida instructed Chunxue to contact all the maids to rest at the same pace as Joel, and to gather around him when it got dark, saying that he already had a way to find the child.

"Master, do you really have a solution?"

"If my guess is correct, I feel like I've found the answer."

Hearing Niu Zida's confident deduction, Joel naturally didn't ask any further questions. After a while, all the maids, including Yangyang, gathered around Niu Zida. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Niu Zida commanded Kuroyukihime:

"Kuroyukihime, hand over your floating eukaryotic core sculpture to me."

Not understanding what her master wanted to do, Kuroyukihime still gave the sculpture in her hand to Ushiko-da. It seemed that the imaginary energy inside was full. At this moment, the light blue light had turned into dark blue, flickering with an eerie light in the forest night.

"Master, what exactly do you want to do by summoning us all here?"

Shizuku Misato crossed her arms. To be honest, after searching the entire forest area for half a day without finding the other party, the strong-willed, long-haired beauty was already furious. If Niu Zida hadn't brought them back for anything important, she would probably have started yelling at him.

"Thank you for your hard work during the day. To be honest, I was almost certain that we wouldn't find them during the day, but it wasn't all for nothing. The daytime search served as an extra layer of security for our nighttime work, since I was worried that they might boldly run away during the day as well..."

Niu Zida's words were truly enigmatic. All the maids exchanged bewildered glances, completely baffled by their master's meaning. Especially Sanxiang Shizuku, who stared at Niu Zida as if he were an idiot. Niu Zida didn't explain further, but instead picked up the Floating Core sculpture and placed it against his chest. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he had Joel lift him up, and then slowly placed the sculpture against his chest. The sculpture gradually merged into Niu Zida's body, and after a short while, it vanished completely…

Chapter 281 The Demon Hunter Nun Rosalia

Chapter 281.

Seeing the astonishing scene of the floating true core sculpture directly merging into its master's body, all the maids were surprised. Looking at the unbelievable scene before them, they never expected that Niu Zida could actually merge with imaginary energy!

"Master...Master..."

"What's wrong? Is it strange? I'll explain this to you later. It seems the enemy is coming soon..."

"enemy?"

"Of course, they're here to obtain imaginary energy..."

Niu Zida finished speaking confidently, and sure enough, a moment later, a pale figure, appearing purple in the shadows, emerged. Her short, wine-red hair was covered by a silver-trimmed purple headscarf with a thorny crown, and her bangs, parted in a 3/7 ratio, slightly obscured her left eye. She wore a white, high-necked, backless top with a ruby-studded neckline, cinched at the waist with a black sash with red trim, the hem of which was edged with spikes matching the headscarf. She wore white gloves over silver iron finger guards. Her lower body was clad in black shorts and purple fishnet stockings. Niu Zida recognized her immediately; it was Sister Rosalia from Genshin Impact. Although he had suspected her identity before, he now finally knew for sure.

"It was Sister Rosalia."

"You know my identity?"

"Ahem, of course, otherwise why would I have lured you out?"

Chapter 372

"

In reality, Niu Zida was completely bluffing here. He only knew Rosalia's identity in Genshin Impact, but he didn't know her background in this world. He just saw that Rosalia was still wearing her nun's clothes, so he guessed that she was still working in...? Even so, the other maids were already looking at Niu Zida with admiration. They felt that Niu Zida seemed to have everything under control, even the strong-willed Misato Shizuku felt the same way.

"If that's the case, then it seems you're the one infected by imaginary number energy, right?"

"So that's how it is. You were sent here to deal with the problem because of the leakage of imaginary energy in this area, right?"

"Since you already know, there's no need for me to say anything more."

Where are the Severn family children?

"That little kid? If he beats me, I can tell you."

Rosalia spoke with a blank, lazy expression, as if she didn't care at all. However, Tatsuya Ushiko could tell that she didn't seem to really want to defeat them. Rosalia seemed to be more afraid of trouble and wanted everything to end as soon as possible.

Because Joel was holding Niu Zida, it was Misato Shizuku who made the first move. She wielded the Belial Shute Sword and slashed at Rosalia. Rosalia picked up her spear to defend herself, but was unexpectedly thrown back instantly. Her pale face, which had been expressionless just moments before, showed a look of surprise. She probably hadn't expected the difference in strength between herself and Misato Shizuku to be so great.

Shizuku Misato realized that Rosalia was unable to withstand his attacks, so he launched a series of offensives against her. Rosalia could only dodge with her agile movements, and her skills were especially nimble in the night. For a time, Shizuku Misato was completely helpless against her.

Rosalia would occasionally use ice element attacks to harass and restrict Shizuku Misato's movements. This tactic annoyed Shizuku to no end, and even her black stockings became wet after the ice melted.

"Is running around the only way you fight?"

"If you can't defeat me, this kind of provocation won't work."

Rosalia replied in her usual lazy voice, which angered Shizuku Misato, who attacked even faster. However, she still couldn't catch up with Rosalia. At this moment, Kuroyukihime, who was closest to Shizuku Misato, couldn't stand it anymore and activated her Black Lotus Mode. She instantly moved to Rosalia's side and launched an attack. Rosalia was already struggling to defend against Shizuku Misato's attacks, and with Kuroyukihime's addition, Rosalia was completely unable to defend herself. In just a few moves, Shizuku Misato seized an opening, knocked the spear away, and captured her.

Although she defeated Rosalia, Misato Shizuku showed no joy. After all, the proud girl had only managed to defeat the enemy by having two helpers fight against one, which she found nothing to be proud of.

"It seems I've lost. I surrender..."

"Then can you tell me where the Severn family children are?"

"You were searching for me in that cave all day, so I had to hide."

Rosalia readily revealed the location of Sever's son, and Asuna quickly went over and indeed found the cave not far away. The cave was so well hidden that they had searched the area for so long without finding it. If Rosalia hadn't reminded them, they probably wouldn't have found it even after searching for several more days. Asuna secretly admired Rosalia's ability to hide.

"Master, the child is alright, he's already asleep."

"Although there's nothing wrong, the imaginary energy in this area is too strong. If we continue to live here, we'll end up like those adults, becoming demonized due to the overflow of energy. So we'll have to get rid of it."

"It seems you didn't lay a hand on the child. Was it because you couldn't bring yourself to do it?"

"It's just that this child hasn't been completely corrupted by demons yet. If we take him out sooner, there might still be hope."

Although Rosalia said it so casually, Niu Zida knew that Rosalia was still kind-hearted. She probably couldn't bear to see the child become a demon. To be honest, if she hadn't taken the child away and had only been assassinating adults in this area, Niu Zida really wouldn't have had a way to find her.

"Master, I still don't quite understand the cause and effect of this matter. Can you tell us about it now?"

Joel was still completely bewildered, not understanding how Rosalia had suddenly appeared. Niu Zida chuckled and pinched Joel's large breast, saying:

"Of course, I originally planned to tell everyone about this after it was over. However, some of it was just my speculation. If it's inaccurate, Miss Rosalia, could you add anything?"

"Ok."

Rosalia looked completely indifferent, as if she had already finished get off work and given up, showing no intention of resisting to the end.

"Actually, I really realized something was wrong when Kuroyukihime said that the Floating Core's creations could automatically recharge. Everyone knows that the Floating Core is the best carrier for collecting imaginary energy. After we've been here for a day, the creations were able to recharge naturally. You can imagine how strong the imaginary energy naturally emitted in this area is. Following this line of thought, I also understand why Seifer kept saying that he was in poor health and that his child was weak and sickly..."

"Does the master mean that the Seifer family isn't in poor health, but rather that the abundance of imaginary energy in this area is putting too much strain on their bodies?"

"right……"

"So does that mean other people's deaths were like this too?"

Chapter 373

What? "

"No, at least the direct cause wasn't due to imaginary energy. Those people were probably all killed by Rosalia, right?"

“Their bodies have been corrupted by demons. As a nun demon hunter, it is my job to deal with them.”

"Miss Rosalia killed all those people? No wonder they were all soaking wet. It wasn't from drowning, but from the melting of ice elemental attacks?"

"Jol, you're very smart."

Hearing Joel's analysis, Niu Zida nodded in satisfaction, pinching Joel's large breasts and twisting them a few times as if as a reward, causing Joel's fair face to flush red and emit a soft moan:

"After all, Rosalia used ice element attacks during her battle with Shizuku Misato just now."

Seeing her master's lewd actions, Misato Shizuku rolled her eyes at Ushiko Tatsu and continued to ask:

"So if you really killed the Sever family, with your stealth abilities, we wouldn't have been able to find you at all. Why would you expose your whereabouts to do that?"

"Who knows? Maybe kids are just too much trouble."

If you really find it troublesome, just kill them all. Wouldn't doing so only put yourself in danger? Shizuku knew Rosalia was just putting on a brave face, but deep down she didn't dislike Rosalia for it. On the contrary, Shizuku admired the skilled nun Rosalia for maintaining kindness towards children even while working...

Chapter 282 Forced Contract

Chapter 282.

"However, how did the Church know about the state of imaginary energy in this area and even send demon-hunting nuns to deal with potentially demonized people?"

"The Church of St. Mary had long been aware of the overflow of imaginary energy in this area and had communicated with Duke Philip and Earl Bozeman, but they did not take it seriously."

It's probably not that he didn't take it seriously. According to Yangyang, Postman did come to investigate. Moreover, considering that Postman had repeatedly asked Ningguang to invest in factories to mine imaginary ore in this area, it's likely that Postman was already aware of the fact that there was imaginary ore in this area of ​​his territory. However, before he had the technology to mine it, he was unwilling to reveal this information and attract the attention of other forces, so he ignored the church's warning.

"So, the master used the artifact to merge into his body to create the illusion of overflowing energy and demonic transformation, which attracted Rosalia, right?"

"Yes. "

"But your body..."

"Don't worry, my body is different from others. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to withstand it, but I'm fine. Joel, have you forgotten that in the beginning, Huanlong summoned me to this world so that I could collect imaginary energy?"

"How could this be? So, my family's situation is also due to this..."

After listening to Niu Zida and Rosalia's conversation, Yangyang finally understood the real reason why many people in the territory were in poor health. Connecting this with the fact that her ancestors had died young after migrating here, she realized that the reason was actually the overflow of imaginary energy from the minerals in this generation.

Niu Zida suddenly sneered, glanced at Yangyang, and instead of continuing Yangyang's words, turned to Rosalia and said:

"I will handle the problems on this land in the future. These people will not be corrupted by demons, so please rest assured."

"That's for the best. Now, can you let me go?"

"Letting you go is impossible. The main targets of the Church of Saintess's demon hunters are probably demi-humans like us, right? If I let you go, the demon hunters will probably come after me next time."

"Weren't you made a nobleman? Now that you're a nobleman, the Church won't target you anymore."

"Oh? It's only been a little over a month, and the church already knows I've become a nobleman?"

"After all, it's a goblin who received a title. It's hard for the church not to know about something so rare."

Rosalia continued in a seemingly lazy tone:

"So, can you let me go now? Now that you've become a noble, there's no need for you to be an enemy of the Church of the Holy Maiden. You already know why I'm here. If I can ensure that the people here are relocated and no longer become demonized, then I have no reason to continue hunting here."

"Logically, of course you can, but I won't let you go back."

"What did you say?"

"Actually, I've always wanted to experiment with this. Since the contract of subjugation is based on imaginary energy and the collection of imaginary energy, how would the contract of subjugation develop if my body were rich in imaginary energy? I'm really curious to see."

Upon hearing this, Rosalia's lazy expression vanished, and her pupils dilated as if she had witnessed something shocking. Niu Zida grinned lewdly, realizing his suspicions were correct; Rosalia knew about the servitude contract.
