I, the Goblin Emperor, Rule the World - EP.205
“Here, there are four major ethnic groups living together, as well as many solitary beasts wandering around. The ecosystem is intact and highly valuable for research.
Under the leadership of the four mentors from the academy and the student union president, Carmelitia, the students roamed together in the outskirts of the City of Strange Mist, all the way into the central area. They discovered many traces left by the beasts and encountered various animals and creatures during the journey.
It was on such a calm and safe day of exploration that night quietly descended.Â
Due to frequent stops along the way, the student group had only recently entered the central area of the Strange Mist Forest.
And the area they were in was, a year ago, a living area for goblins.
Here, it seems that there are still some goblins living, but they have not been discovered by the students who are currently exploring.
Goblins are creatures that come out at night, and perhaps they could be found if searched for at night.
However, nightfall also meant it was time for the students to sleep peacefully.
The mentors from the Kingdom Academy arranged magic formations around and assigned people to take turns keeping watch at night to ensure the students’ safety.
During the night, the students gradually fell asleep.
However, there was a girl who woke up at this time.
Her breathing had become somewhat rapid at some point. After changing her damp underwear, she woke up another girl, Yujina, who was sleeping beside her.
“Kamil, what’s wrong?”
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Yujina was puzzled. She had been waiting for Kamil to fall asleep, so why did Kamil wake her up instead?
“Shh, come with me.”
Blushing, Kamil made a shushing gesture with her hand, then she pulled Yujina along, and the two of them walked towards the tent where Carmelitia was.
Being led by Kamil, Yujina felt puzzled.”
Kamil, is she running a fever? Why is her hand so hot, and her breathing seems somewhat rapid.
Is even breathing becoming difficult? It seems she’s really sick.
However, Yujina didn’t speak up.
Yujina knows Kamil very well. Many people here harbor ulterior motives, but Kamil is like an innocent lamb in these power struggles. She is also close to Carmelitia, often able to observe her actions and secrets.
Tonight, Lady Carmelitia must be unable to sleep, and of course, she won’t just fall asleep like this.
Outside Carmelitia’s tent, both Carmelitia and Lotus popped their heads out.
“What’s wrong?” Carmelitia asked.
Carmelitia was chatting with Lotus when Kamil called her out.
Tonight, in Lady Carmelitia’s view, was extremely unsafe. Any anomaly would arouse her utmost vigilance.
Now, with both Kamil and Yujina appearing at the same time, her heart was even more alert.
Kamil’s face was flushed at this moment, and she urgently said, “Lady Carmelitia, wake up quickly, someone is going to attack us.”
Upon hearing Kamil’s words, Yujina and Lotus were suddenly startled, both feeling puzzled, and Yujina’s confusion was genuine.
She was puzzled as to why Kamil would know that someone would act tonight.
Kamil is an outsider, right? Or did Carmelitia pull her in without her knowing?
Hearing Kamil’s words, Carmelitia’s expression also changed slightly.
She said, “Are you sure? Let’s go tell the mentors.”
Kamil shook her head hurriedly, “No, Lady Carmelitia, that will only alert the enemy. The enemy is stronger than the mentors and the knights, and they are targeting you, Lady Carmelitia. You must hide quickly.
We can sneak away and hide ourselves. As long as we find a goblin den to hide in, no one will be able to find us.
Wait a few days, then we can quietly leave here and return to the kingdom.”
Upon hearing Kamil’s words, everyone else was stunned.
Girls hiding in a goblin den? It was a very cunning plan, one that nobody would think of.
Carmelitia’s eyes flickered. Over the past few days, a lot of information and faces had flashed through her mind. In the end, she shook her head and said, “I am the president of the student union, and all my classmates are here. I have no reason to run away.
I must stay here, and I also believe in the ability of the mentors and the knights to protect us.”
Believe in the ability of the mentors and the knights?
Of course, Carmelitia believed in their abilities, but she didn’t believe they would really want to protect her.
For Kamil to suddenly say this, something must be happening tonight.
So she had to stay even more.
Carmelitia knew very well that this was not a test of how to protect her own personal safety, but a task her mother had entrusted to her to establish authority.
In the face of danger, possessing the courage to remain calm and turning the tables, exposing those who want to harm her and making them pay the price, thus establishing her prestige – this was the purpose of her mother’s trial by sending her on this journey.
As for her safety, she believed her mother wouldn’t put her in danger alone; there must be someone secretly protecting her.
“Kamil, take Yujina and hide. The mentors and I will handle the rest.”
“Lotus, stay hidden in the tent, don’t come out.”
Carmelitia quickly made a decision, put on her coat, and walked towards the mentors, her eyes flashing.
Kamil’s idea sounded absurd, but if Kamil had no other intentions, it was indeed a clever plan.
Several girls hiding in a goblin den full of filth – who would have thought of that?
But this required the goblins to continue their activities outside the cave entrance, and they had to kill all the goblins before they could hide inside without attracting attention or causing agitation among the goblins.
Unless… they didn’t fight the goblins but were directly taken into the den by them and allowed the goblins to do whatever they wanted to them.
Carmelitia shook her head. That was impossible, and she would never stoop to that level with the goblins.
Now, she had already let Kamil and Yujina each send a message back. Whether they were the culprits didn’t matter anymore.
Kamil’s proposal could let Kamil separate Yujina from her, so that others could attack her, thus luring out more problematic people.
At the same time, standing with the students was the safest guarantee for her.
In the end, she might be caught, but those two letters would definitely become her capital in dealing with these people.
Although Lotus didn’t understand what was happening, she still crawled back into the tent to sleep.
As for dangers and such, she didn’t know; her father would protect her anyway.
What did it have to do with her if others were in danger?
“Let’s go, Yujina.”
Kamil held Yujina’s hand, and the two girls separated from Carmelitia, heading into the forest alone.
Yujina looked at Kamil pulling her along, feeling a little puzzled.
They were friends, so Yujina knew very well that Kamil was an outsider. But she suddenly told Carmelitia that someone would attack them tonight, which meant Kamil seemed to have discovered something.
Kamil had become a variable now, and she had to keep a close eye on her. It would be best to ask her clearly about the cause and effect of how she knew about this matter.
Yujina was very relieved about where Kamil would take her. Kamil, who was as simple as can be, was the safest person here.
As friends who had been inseparable for the past few years, she knew Kamil very well.
She even knew that Kamil seemed to long for a man, but her family was very strict.
After Carmelitia went to talk to the mentors on night duty, Kamil sneaked away with Yujina. They avoided the gaze of others and walked towards the dark forest.
After walking for a while, feeling almost there, Yujina asked with a flicker in her eyes, “Kamil, how did you know that someone would attack our group tonight? And the target is Lady Carmelitia?”
“Shh! Let’s hide when we get there, and then I’ll tell you.”
“Hey, where are we going? I’m afraid of the dark. How about we just talk here, and then we go back after?”
Yujina spoke disdainfully, sounding somewhat pleading like a timid child.
Through their touching hands, Yujina could clearly feel that Kamil’s body was getting hotter and hotter.
This made Yujina couldn’t help but joke, “Kamil, are you really planning to find a goblin cave to hide in? Your body is so hot, are you planning to… do something with the goblins?”
At that moment, a strange scene occurred.
Kamil kept her head down, silent, just holding her hand and continuing to walk forward.
Kamil seemed very clear about the route ahead, without any hesitation, which was very strange for Kamil, who was here for the first time.
Yujina became more and more puzzled, and she couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
They were just two female students, getting further and further away from where the teachers were, and this was the Misty Forest, where goblins, terrifying creatures that liked to mate with human females, lived.
If they went too far, it might be too late to call for help.
Kamil’s mental state also seemed to be a cause for concern.
Yujina looked at Kamil pulling her along, and suddenly remembered two days ago when Kamil had left alone and entered the Misty Forest.
When she came back, Kamil’s clothes were a bit torn, and at first, she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Later, she smelled a strange scent on Kamil, who was soaked from head to toe in the rain.
She couldn’t describe what the smell was, but it seemed to be two kinds of sweat on Kamil’s body, in addition to her own faint sweat smell, there seemed to be a male one, and even a hint of the scent of Andromeda flowers.
The scent of Andromeda flowers…
Yujina recalled this and was stunned.
At that time, in order to report to Carmelitia and monitor her actions in time, she ignored these details. By the time she brought Carmelitia to find Kamil, she had already taken a bath.
Kamil, finally couldn’t help it that day, secretly found a man behind everyone’s back?
That was Yujina’s original guess.
But now, she had another terrifying thought.
Could it be that when Kamil was found, it wasn’t actually a man, but she was mating with the goblins in the woods?
Thinking of this possibility, Yujina’s mind went blank in an instant.
Kamil liked to read various books about goblins and girls. At first, it was her hobby, but now she realized that it might not just be a hobby.
Before Yujina could break free from Kamil’s hand, Kamil had already stopped.
Only then did Yujina notice that in front of them, there were two identical tall figures.
Yujina fixed her eyes and found that they were two muscular red goblin, identical to each other, with eerie golden eyes staring strangely at the two girls.
They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and what they were waiting for… seemed to be them?
Before Yujina could say anything, Kamil beside her walked towards the goblins. Kamil’s breathing became even more rapid as she approached.
“Kamil, come back…”
Yujina tried to stop her, instinctively wanting her friend to stay away from the terrifying goblins.
However, Kamil seemed not to hear anything, as if possessed, she stepped closer to one of the tall golden-eyed red goblins, then stuck out her tongue at the goblin and lifted her skirt.
It seemed like she was expecting something.
The next moment, the goblin pounced on Kamil without any hesitation, knocking her to the ground.
Rip… tear…
What was happening before her eyes was too unbearable to watch.
Her former friend, only seventeen years old, Kamil, who usually liked to dress provocatively, was now facing the goblin’s assault with joy?
Fear was written all over Yujina’s face. This scene was a huge shock to her young mind. After all, she was just a girl of less than eighteen years old, who had never seen such bizarre things before.
Yujina subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away from here, but when she was about to flee, she suddenly realized that another terrifying goblin was standing beside her.
It was gone.
Yujina’s heart was filled with fear and anxiety. Her gaze swept around, searching for the second goblin’s figure, her hands tightly guarding her chest. Meanwhile, she could hear her good friend’s panting and laughter constantly ringing in her ears.
In this dark and swirling forest, Yujina felt like she was plunged into an icy abyss.
Until finally, a sudden figure appeared and directly tackled the girl standing in the woods.
In the pitch-black forest, the sound of fabric tearing echoed again, accompanied by the laughter of one girl, the sobbing of another, and the low growls of beasts, as if someone was applauding madly.
