I, the Goblin Emperor, Rule the World - EP.180
Sent Dolerance away from the City of Strange Mist, allowing him to assume the unique human appearance of a dragon-born goblin and enter human society as an adventurer. His task was twofold:
Firstly, to find human and demi-human girls with special abilities.
Secondly, to infiltrate the ranks of the heroes as an undercover agent, gathering information on other legendary races in preparation for the potential war between goblins and legendary races in the future.
With His Majesty’s great presence, the occasional special abilities of other races could be stably inherited. Through His Majesty’s development, a new branch of goblins could be produced.
The monotony of abilities was indeed a flaw among goblins. A girl with special abilities could increase the diversity of goblin abilities. For example, the Dragonkind could bring about great strength, as well as the ability to take on humanoid form and fly.
Similarly, the Spider Maidens could contribute to the development of goblin silk industry, allowing the City of Strange Mist to radiate outward and accumulate wealth from the outside world through clothing.
The blueprint laid out within the “Under the One Emperor” organization listed four powerful races from which Dolerance might capture female individuals: Spectres, False Angels (Apostles), Fairies, and Demons.
The abilities of Spectres and Demons were the most diverse due to the many classifications within their races, as well as the wide range of their strengths.
False Angels were the mixed-blood offspring of angels. Perhaps His Majesty could use them to steal the power of pure-blood angels, creating pure-blood goblin angels.
As for Fairies, these smaller-sized winged spirits couldn’t mate with humans or most demi-humans due to their tiny stature, but His Majesty could. His ability to control his body and shrink to a size suitable for Fairies was perfectly feasible.
Moreover, the outside world’s Green-skinned Mother Goblins were also quite small in size. By breeding the male goblin fairies born to His Majesty and those small-sized goblins from outside, a new goblin branch could be created, increasing diversity.
This strategy was maximally efficient.
This constituted the first task.
As for the second task, infiltrating the Hero Village undercover required prior understanding of the Hero race, which was of utmost importance. This could preemptively prevent any exposure and confirm the feasibility of the plan, minimizing the risk of Dolerance, this monstrous hero, being exposed.
Klunia and Tarian’s mother, Dumilan, hadn’t been in the Hero Village for a long time. Their understanding of the Hero race was outdated.
Now, the one who could bring useful information was Tarian’s brother, Tazi.
Tazi’s appearance was the prerequisite for initiating the plan.
Now, the time had come.
After some discussion, Dolerance stood up directly.
“Let’s go meet my brother, whom I’ve never met before.”
Tale said excitedly, “Tage, go gather our siblings. Let’s go pay our respects to Uncle and give him a surprise.”
When it came to surprises, Tage wasn’t tired anymore; his eyes gleamed with excitement.
Chapter 169: They’re All Your Siblings! Actually, They’re Just a Small Part~
In the dim room, a grim, white-eyed old man without a lower body, supporting his body with a cane held tightly in his hands, spoke in a low and terrifying voice:
“Tazi, with the revival of the Holy Spirit, the tide of the times will eventually sweep across the entire world. No race can escape, no land can be spared.
You should consider yourself fortunate. You’re not one of those incapable mortals; you carry the blood of our Hero race.
As long as you possess the soul of a hero, there’s a possibility of awakening the hero profession in the future. You don’t have it, but your mother and your sister do.
You’re not important, but your mother and your sister are. We’re giving you a chance to bring both your sister and mother back to the village.
Your uncle is indecisive and unwilling to forcibly bring back your mother and sister. We hope you won’t follow his example.
This is also for the future of your mother and sister.”
The terrifying voice of the old man in his memory faded away completely.
Tazi snapped back to reality, looking up at the City of Strange Mist in front of him, tightly holding the ice crystal Klunia had given him in his hand.
This was a city that had suddenly risen, shrouded in mystery and the unknown. For this city, having a mother and sister with the bloodline of heroes was undoubtedly a very important presence.
No, for almost everyone in this world, women with the bloodline of the Hero race were very important.
Tazi couldn’t be sure what kind of city this was. The Goblin City he had originally judged was shattered when this man and those mixed-blood elves approached him. With so many elves and humans, how could they be arbitrarily dominated by ugly and weak goblins?
There must be some other secret here.
But one thing was certain—this place was dangerous!
Tazi constantly gripped the ice crystal that could summon the Ice Hero Klunia, which was his greatest reliance now.
He wouldn’t foolishly think that his full silver-star strength could contend with a city.
“Please come in. Your wife and child have been waiting inside for quite some time.”
What?
Tazi’s heart skipped a beat. He had settled his wife and child when he came, but it had only been a day!
“Tazi, there’s no need to be surprised. We’ve been waiting for your return. Your mother and sister are doing well now, and they’re also looking forward to seeing you.”
Taking a deep breath, Tazi entered the City of Strange Mist with them.
Inside, what met his eyes was a street bustling with people in the residential area.
Different from what he had imagined, there were many humans coming in from outside, as well as many elves, and even the Black Cat Clan and the Wild Forest Wolves used as transportation.
Just like what he had heard outside the city, everything seemed normal here.
Tazi couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Perhaps, he had been overly cautious.
He shouldn’t be too sensitive and should think positively.
Following the guide, Tazi continued toward the city.
Along the way, pedestrians saw Tazi actually being led by a staff member of the City of Strange Mist toward the inner city, and their eyes showed a hint of curiosity and envy.
The closer to the inner city, the higher the status. In the eyes of others, he might have already been misunderstood as someone significant.
At the entrance to the inner city gate, there was a man with extraordinary temperament and attire waiting there, as if expecting something.
On the back of that man’s hand, Tazi vaguely saw a mark indicating the awakening of the Hero profession—a hero’s mark.
An awakened hero!?
Tazi muttered to himself in his heart.
Wow, an awakened hero was extraordinary. They held a significant position even among the Hero race.
Not everyone in the Hero race could awaken the hero profession, and even within the Hero race, the number of awakened heroes was few.
The man in front of him was undoubtedly a strong individual among their Hero race who traveled outside.
He hadn’t expected to encounter a fellow clansman here. It seemed that this place wasn’t a goblin nest, but a regular place.
“Elder.”
Tazi breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully greeted the man. Such beings might not be people he had the qualifications to meet in the Hero Village, just like the Ice Hero Klunia, they were all extraordinary individuals.
If he could get to know them, the path of his children would be much smoother in the future.
The man saw Tazi taking the initiative to greet him and his mouth twitched slightly, but after strict training, he maintained a serious expression.
“Follow me. I’ll take you to see your mother and sister.”
Tazi nodded. It seemed that this elder still knew his family. However, something felt a bit strange.
The way this person speaks, it’s as if he’s talking about his own mother and sister?
Tazi didn’t pay attention to this detail, following the elder and entering the inner city checkpoint.
After passing through two consecutive gates, he couldn’t help but look around curiously, observing the city with such an awakened hero predecessor.
What kind of prosperous scene would it be here?
Entering the inner city.
At first glance, he saw numerous ragged laborers moving things, being urged by sturdy Red Devil Goblins with long whips.
At the second glance, numerous goblins were coming and going, with a small number of normally dressed people among them, living here.
The further he walked, the more green-skinned goblins he could see gathered together, constructing this city with clear division of labor, swift movements, and construction speed beyond imagination.
Some were opening restaurants on the streets, welcoming everyone, including goblins, with smiles on their faces.
Continuing forward.
The number of buildings visibly increased, and the quality visibly improved. High-level goblins filled the streets, strange means of transportation were everywhere, and there were clothing stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, and so on everywhere.
Human women and high-level goblins walked on the streets like couples.
The relaxed expression on Tazi’s face disappeared with each step he took, gradually turning into horror.
“Ah, this little guy is so energetic…”
With the footsteps of the elder, Tazi entered a building and saw his wife and child.
At this moment, his wife was holding the child in the hall, with three beautiful girls standing beside her, curiously looking at the baby in her arms.
Around them stood twenty to thirty goblins of various colors—red, purple, white, and green.
Those three girls, one of them was a very fair and beautiful elf girl with sharp teeth and red eyes. The other two were pregnant, with the charming and graceful one showing a slight bulge, while the pretty and tender one had a noticeably larger belly, apparently not far from giving birth.
They were Mrs. Dumilan and her daughter Tarian, Tazi’s mother and sister.
“Wow… such a beautiful elf sister, let me touch, let me touch~”
The baby in Tazi’s wife’s arms stretched out its hand, trying to touch the beautiful elder sister in front of it, but obviously couldn’t reach, and Tale didn’t have the idea of approaching the human male cub either.
At this moment, everyone in the hall noticed the people coming in from outside and looked over. When they saw Tazi, they all smiled.
Some were welcoming, and some were smiling mysteriously.
Tazi felt a chill down his spine instantly and subconsciously broke the communication ice crystal in his hand.
After confirming that the message had been sent, Tazi took a deep breath and looked at his mother, sister, wife, and child in front of him, as well as the numerous goblins around him, feeling deep in his heart that he was in a terrifying quagmire.
Those elves he had seen when he entered the city—they weren’t elves at all!
They were all goblins disguised with skin color, making people mistakenly think they were elves.
Although they looked different from ordinary goblins, their goblin identity was unquestionable from their skin color and some facial features.
A room full of goblins!
“Tazi!”
“Brother.”
The mother and daughter who had been waiting for a long time were very excited to see Tazi.
Tazi was also excited, but more cautious.
But it’s okay, it’s okay.
There was no problem. At least for now, he could confirm that his mother and sister were both fine, and he had the trump card of Kluenia.
“Mom, Tarian.”
Tazi stepped forward, relieved to see them safe and sound.
Dumilan hadn’t seen her son for a long time and was a bit excited. She had worked hard to raise this child.
Dumilan wiped away the tears of longing from the corner of her eyes and then came to Tazi’s side. She glanced at the nearby Dolerance and said with a smile, “You two brothers have met, I don’t think I need to introduce you, right?”
Brothers…
Tazi: ?
Seeing Tazi’s expression, Dumilan knew that he still didn’t know. She smiled and pulled Dolerance beside her, saying:
“Come, Lance, he’s your brother.”
“Tazi, he’s your younger brother.”
Tazi: ??
Tazi looked at the awakened hero predecessor beside him, his brain responding.
As Dumilan spoke, she pointed to the red, purple, and green goblins on the right, then cupped her slightly flushed and happy face with both hands, saying, “They are all your brothers and sisters.”
Tazi: ??
