Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 256 Your Loyalty Is Appreciated
He is about to venture into the land of the unknown, with no knowledge of what awaits him, or if he is being led right into a trap.
To keep up the dignity of his race and show to whoever invited him that he is not a coward, he has to leave his home and journey there.
He also wants to know, what the sender wants with him, how they know about his existence and where he lives.
For this reasons, Orun has to go. He has no choice or ways to stop himself from not going.
The sender is a ticking time bomb who knows of his whereabouts while he knows nothing about theirs. There is no telling what could be done with such information at their disposal.
At the very least, he has to know the identity of the sender, if truly it is a human, or one of the schemes plotted for by the humans.
Wildria is aware that Orun has a teleportation ability and could easily transport himself away from danger. She also knows how strong he is, and how nearly impossible it is for him to come across an opponent worthy enough to face off against his likes.
She is aware about it all, but a part of her still worries for his well being.
"you have nothing to worry about my lady. I will be sure to protect my lord with my life".
Theron standing at the right side of Orun raised his right hand up and beat his chest with it, assuring Wildria that he is ready to risk his life at the expense of Orun getting to live.
"sa.....same here".
Monryck standing on the left side of Orun, hesitantly declared himself as such to not feel left out. After all, he and Theron are the ones escorting him all the way.
The rest of the desert dwellers, the Trolls, the Wyverns, and the Minotaurs were all out of their roof to say their farewells to Orun.
They bowed to Orun who got himself out of Wildria's embrace and got ready to start his journey.
For the travel, Orun used his forest skill to build a carriage, an air carriage driven by two Wyverns at the front.
Orun at first suggested them riding on the Wyverns back, but Wildria once again shuts it down under the excuse that he has to look as dignified as possible during his meeting with the monarch of a different race.
Hence his reasons for sacrificing maximum speed efficiency for the sake of showing the Elves how dignified monsters can be when they put their hearts to it.
He made the carriage fancy looking with the same symbol on his waist placed at the center of the carriage for anyone who encounters it to know, that its a ride meant for monsters, not like the Wyverns are not enough to hint one to such conclusions, or what are the chances of him ever coming across passersby in the sky?
Theron and Monryck had no problems fitting into the carriage because it is big enough to fit in three Wyverns who are huge looking compared to the Minotaurs and the Trolls.
"my lord, have a safe journey ahead. I and my lady will see to it that you come back and meet us all in one piece".
Travon the Troll Chief, saw Orun off with words meant to put his heart at ease and not worry about the situations in the desert.
Orun nodded and got into the carriage with Monryck and Theron following behind him.
The inner workings of the carriage is made of wood as is the outer parts. The woods are finely decorated by Oracle that made it difficult to discern if it was really made of wood or expensive black diamonds used to carve it out.
There are approximately four windows in the carriage. One on the left, one on the right, one at the back, and one at the front.
The size of each window is big enough to have Orun fit himself through if he ever has the intention of getting into the carriage by using the window path.
Orun sat inside the carriage, in a position where the window situated at the front was facing him, while Theron sat on the right side where the right window was faced. Monryck took the left side of the window and together, the three made a triangle sitting position.
When they were all well sitted Inside the carriage, the door closed by itself and the two Wyverns prepared to make their liftoff into the sky.
Orun has shown them the map leading to their destination and since they are mounts with reasoning, there is no need for someone to sit outside the carriage to control their actions.
The moment that the Wyverns flew off the ground could be felt from inside the carriage as Orun had this feeling of his inner parts souring up before being brought back down when the Wyverns steadied their flight.
While they were making their air journey, Orun was in deep thoughts regarding what to expect where he is going, and sorting out the actions he should take for whatever circumstances he ends up in when he gets to his destination.
"my lord, you have nothing to fear. I will see to it that my life is taken from me before any danger gets to you".
Theron saw the expression that Orun was making, and he from his own point of view thought that Orun was scared about where they are going. 𝐟𝙧ℯe𝙬𝚎𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵel. 𝐜o𝓶
A part of him is indeed scared, but not for himself. He is scared for what will become of the loyal Theron and the hesitantly loyal Monryck when they come across a danger that not even his teleportation ability can save them from.
He is strong enough to protect himself and so are they. Assuming by a streak of bad luck, they got into a trouble that ended up with all three or five plus the two Wyverns riding the carriage.
A trouble that takes the life of all five of them. Orun has nothing to worry about as he can be reborn due to being an elemental spirit king.
The part where Orun loses his memory after being reborn has been patched up by Oracle who came up with an idea to have Orun's memory stored away and ends up resurfacing after his death.
It has not been verified yet if it will work as intended or not, but this is Oracle we are talking about here.
The same skill that when it was still just Known Knowledge, it successfully rebuilt Orun's body thereby turning him into an half spiritual entity, with another achievement of rebuilding his skill into a supposedly hard to get rank.
After all it has done, the thought that Oracle can store away his memory for use in case he dies no longer sounds funny or false to his ears.
As he can resurrect with no qualms even with memory loss, the same cannot be said for the four of them.
"your loyalty is appreciated Theron".
Orun felt there was no reason to correct him as to why he had the look on his face or what kind of look it really meant.
Theron taking advantage of the opportunity to once again convey his loyalty to him is more than welcomed.
