Ways To Beat

Edon smiled just a little, and then it was a while before he answered Rob's question. A look in his eyes headed towards the dots of goblin blood that he managed to injure. Edon took out his drinking water supply and then took a quick sip.

"First, we go back to the village of Arsenea just now to prepare everything. Only then do we hunt those goblins!"

Rob is silent. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Edon's words.

"How is it possible? We've now just lost track of it."

Edon himself was inexhaustible. How could king Vincent choose Rob as his new knight? It is undeniable that Rob is also great at swords, but his wits are less sharp than his swords.

Edon began to rise from his seat. He put his long sword back away and into the drinking provisions. Rob thought they would return to the village of Arsenea soon. It turned out that Edon actually sat down again and invited Rob to sit down as well to talk about it.

"I didn't expect to encounter the stone goblin just now near the well in the village of Arsenea. He was taking a bucket of water to take to his base. That's how I guessed. At first, I was about to stalk him to find out where the headquarters of the stone goblins were located. And you messed things up," Edon explained.

Rob just squeezed a smile and scratched his head without itching.

"As a result, the stone goblin managed to escape and we couldn't afford to catch up with it. But take it easy. I still have time to hurt his body with my sword. Traces of blood dripping onto the ground from those stone goblins can lead us towards their nests. We just have to prepare everything needed before nightfall," continued Edon.

"Good, Edon! I get it! But how did you hurt that stone body with a landslide that belongs to you? Are you sure he won't be killed before getting to the lair?"

"You forgot the most important thing in this mission, Rob" Edon reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a closed pocket. Edon opened it and took Rob by surprise.

"Salt?!"

Edon had guessed that Rob must have forgotten such an important thing. He was just obsessed with killing all the goblins that existed without thinking more clearly at first. In fact, before the departure of the two of them heading for the village of Arsenea, the king of Vincent, who knew the weakness of the stone goblins, had already told them about it.

As the name implies, the bodies of stone goblins made of stone make them immune to sharp weapons. Any sword or weapon seems to be only about to hit a hard rock when it hits the body of a stone goblin. But that's not the case for Vincent, who knows their weaknesses.

Yes! By using salt! Mountain salt that can make the goblins' new bodies weaken. Only then can the sword, or whatever it is that hurts them. Rob doesn't really remember himself carrying a small bag of salt as well.

"So because of that, you were able to hurt the body of the goblin stone just now, huh?"

Edon smiled proudly. "Of course! We don't just have to use force in doing something. Sometimes it is also necessary to use our minds to find a way out of a problem. That's the proper knight!"

Before the two of them came to the village of Arsenea, Edon first applied his sharp part of the longsword with salt. They did not leave behind the tip of the sword. With that, he was sure that he could eradicate all the existing stone goblins.

"So, how are we going to start this new plan to finish them all off? Are you sure that those goblins will attack when night falls?"

Edon was well prepared for his plan. He explained that the stone goblins would indeed go out at night. But their goal must have not been to the village of Arsenea anymore. Considering that in the village of Arsenea, there is nothing left to be taken away.

"Yes! I really believe in my instincts! They are indeed used to going out at night, but we must prevent it this time. Therefore, we must quickly find their nests before nightfall."

Edon got up for the second time from sitting down. He invited Rob to return to the village of Arsenea on the spot. Although Rob didn't really know what else to prepare, Rob still followed Edon.

"Usually, the goblins will live in caves. I hope that in the residents' homes there is lighting in the form of torches or something else. You just apply those two swords of yours first with salt. Or do you want to use other means?" explained Edon.

"It seems that your means are more effective than having to sprinkle it directly on those goblins."

Rob is a dual broadsword user. His two standard-sized swords are uniquely patterned and repulsive. As can be seen from the place where the two swords are lined up on Rob's waist, the white and black colors are very conspicuous. Arriving at the empty residents' house, Rob began to pull out the two black and white swords and level them with salt. Meanwhile, Edon finally found a torch for lighting when he entered the lair of the stone guilds.

They completed all preparations when the sun began to lean towards the western horizon. Without wasting any more time, Rob and Edon stepped quickly towards the forest that had been entered by the stone goblin just now. Sure enough, Edon's plan went smoothly for a moment. The blood of the previous goblins splattered on the ground was still clearly visible and led the two of them towards the nest of the stone goblins.

"Your plan is successful, Don! I didn't expect to find their nest so soon!" said Rob excitedly.

"Wait, a minute! We must remain vigilant about the surrounding environment. We also don't know for sure how many goblin rocks there are in this cave," Edon suggested.

The two new knights stood facing the mouth of the not-so-wide cave. It was so excited that Rob almost entered the cave without caution.

[So this is a cave that is used as their nest. Although it is quite far from the village of Arsenea but it seems that only the village of Arsenea area is close to here. No wonder they attacked the village of Arsenea.]

"Oi, Edon! Let's go in right away! What are you waiting for?!" shouted Rob.

"Damn! Don't make a noise, you fool!" Edon felt distressed at being with the stupid knight.

"Well, you're quick to get ready with that dual broadswords of yours. I will light his torch from here and bring him. You walk ahead, Rob!" ordered Edon.

"Yosh! With pleasure!"

The mission of eradicating the goblins who messed up in the village of Arsenea began. Rob and Edon also brought some needed items in case something unexpected happened. With all the soul, Rob and Edon stepped into the cave in the afternoon. The two of them walked over one by one and took care of each other.

The deeper and deeper they stepped. No small stone creature with green eyes has been found yet. Rob started to get bored and caught off guard. To the point that he didn't realize what was in front of him.
