Surviving in Another Dimension: I Can See Hints - Chapter 27

“Carl should be back by now.”

Just as Wang Jue was thinking this, the clatter of horse hooves came from the distance.

Wang Jue took a look.

Who else could it be but Carl?

Moments later.

Carl dismounted and bowed.

“Honorable Overlord, Carl is back!”

Carl must have been traveling non-stop, he seemed worn out.

However, Wang Jue was relieved to see that there were no wounds on his body. It seemed like he didn’t encounter any danger.

“No rush, let’s talk inside.”

The two of them walked into the Overlord’s Residence one behind another. Wang Jue let Carl drink some water first.

After adjusting his breathing, Carl said,

“My Lord, I didn’t disappoint you. There is indeed a Goblin Village as stated on the map.

“Legend has it that Goblins are brutal, cruel, sinister, and cunning, but that was not what I observed. On the contrary, they are kind and pure. They don’t seek trouble, and…”

Wang Jue wasn’t surprised by this result. After all, hearsay could only be used as a reference. Everything had to be judged in reality. Wang Jue wasn’t a person to have preconceived notions.

Just as Wang Jue was wondering what else Carl had to say, Karl paused and went on,

“I found out that a group of Orcs is preparing to attack the Goblin Village because they want to expand their territory.”

Wang Jue’s heart stirred as he said, “Struggles over territories are inevitable for every race, but which side do you think will win?”

Carl knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and said, “My Lord, I am ignorant. I do not know.”

Wang Jue stared at Carl for a moment and did not say anything else. He then waved his hand and dismissed Carl.

Leaving Wang Jue alone in the hall to think.

“I have a feeling that there’s some personal feelings in Carl’s behavior this time. Is it my illusion?

“I hope I’m overthinking.”

Then, Wang Jue began to analyze what he could gain from the war between the Orcs and Goblins.

“Perhaps, this is an opportunity for the territory to develop…”

Wang Jue seemed to have recalled something as his eyes lit up.

“Perhaps I should visit the Goblins.”

…

For the next few days, other than the normal collection of resources, it was rest and recuperation for the territory.

On the fourth day, Wang Jue prepared enough materials to build a communication tower.

[System notification: In order to maintain the operation of the communication tower, 5 Elemental Crystals and 4 Souls will be expended per month.]

[System notification: Produce two Communication Stones, 2 Souls consumed]

Holding the two black square stones in his hand, Wang Jue tested them.

Although the production cost was huge, the items were indeed good.

Not only could they use long-distance voice communication, holographic projections were also possible.

It was worth it!

Then, Wang Jue gathered the soldiers in the territory. Half of them stayed in the territory while the other half left with Wang Jue.

This time, they were going to a Goblin Village 200 miles away.

The entourage consisted of ten cavalrymen led by Sophie, ten archers led by Quina, ten infantrymen led by Carl, and Tian Man.

Tian Man was a Mage and was mainly responsible for following Wang Jue. Most of the time, a Mage was not very mobile, but as long as it was within an effective attack range, the Mage’s damage would be off the charts.

A party mounted their battle steeds and began their expedition from afar.

Wang Jue didn’t waste more time on their journey. On one hand, it was because it was a long journey and wasn’t suitable for exploration.

On the other hand, the strategy guide did not mention anything that Wang Jue really cared for.

Two days later.

Outside the Goblin Village.

Carl pointed in front of Wang Jue.

“My Lord, this is Acura Forest. The Goblin Village is right in front.”

Wang Jue nodded.

He then said to Carl, “Go into the village first and let them know of our arrival.”

Carl nodded, choosing to follow orders.

Soon, a group of people walked out of the village.

Carl was not seen.

The group of people who came out had very obvious features.

Green skin, big noses, and pointed ears. They were Goblins.

Their bodies were generally short. Indeed, they could not be associated with the word ‘cruel’ in any way.

Scrawny bodies and ragged weapons.

A hint appeared.

[Goblins with degenerated bloodlines. They are one of the weakest races in this forest. No danger.]

While Wang Jue was in thought, a relatively powerful Goblin spoke.

“Powerhouse, what are you doing up ahead?”

Powerhouse.

“Me?”

Wang Jue could now be considered strong with a group of tall and mighty soldiers beside him.

The Goblin nodded nervously.

Wang Jue said, “Um, nice to meet you, I’m Wang Jue, the Overlord of Wei Ancient City.”

When the Goblins heard that Wang Jue was an Overlord, their eyes filled with fear.

They were just a small village.

How did they provoke a powerful force?

Wang Jue spoke again, “Why are you here?”

“We sensed a powerful aura and came to stand guard.”

Eh?

It was Wang Jue’s turn to be puzzled. Are Goblins’ perception that strong?

What Wang Jue didn’t know was that although the Goblins were weak, they were naturally sensitive to the strong. Wang Jue and the rest were not weak, so they could naturally sense them.

Wang Jue smiled at the Goblin and didn’t say anything.

He took out an envelope. It was the recommendation letter he had gotten from the bandit chief.

“I have no ill intentions. I came to your village out of curiosity. This is a letter of recommendation. You will know when you read it.”

The Goblin who had spoken carefully took the envelope, opened it, saw a token, and sniffed it carefully.

His expression changed.

“It’s a letter of recommendation from the Minotaurs, yes.”

Then, he said, “Powerhouse, in view of your strength, we have a request.”

Wang Jue asked curiously, “What is it?”

The Goblin said, “Please follow me into the village with your soldiers for a short rest. I will tell you slowly.”

Then, Wang Jue and his party were brought into the Goblin Village.

Speaking of which, this village was really shabby.

It felt like it could be blown up with a single fireball from Tian Man

In the Village Chief’s tent.

Wang Jue and Quina sat at the top seat. Below them were two Goblins.

One of them looked older and the other was the Goblin who spoke just now.

The two of them were sitting on their knees.

The old man said, “Welcome, guest.”

“I am the Village Chief, Gurud. This is my son, Gurul”

“Hello, thank you for your hospitality. So, what do you want to ask of me?”

The old man and the young man looked at each other and nodded. The Village Chief, Gurud said, “Do you know that the monsters are getting more active recently?”

Monsters, was he referring to the high-level creatures? Wang Jue only knew about the Beast Tide that took place last week.

“I don’t.”

“The most powerful person in our village disappeared a month ago. As such the nearby monsters have started to harass this land.”

Last month?

It seems to be the time when everyone transmigrated.

It seems like the beginning of the transmigration has affected this world too..
