I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World… - Chapter 68 - Danger Ahead

Four days passed after the birth and growth of the Aurolious Fowl.

Logan had been busy caring for his own creatures, and Chloe had even helped him level up his Basilisk using the same method Rubina had used.

He even told Lisa about the method one night, yet in both cases, nothing happened.

The two monsters were far too low-leveled to get any real results, but it did help them improve overall. The only problem was the amount of crystals Logan had at hand.

Earlier today, Logan received a notice that the class would go south the next day.

He knew what this meant, as he was later given news that he would be guided north.

He would go with four carriages, ten soldiers, a group of magic builders and workers, some maids including Ruri, and his mentor.

He was thankful that at least they would send him with people who would protect him.

Kai and Chloe expressed that they would go on their mounts and did not need anything more for the long journey.

Due to all this, Logan had gotten the group together and rode on Scorch to practice moving next to a carriage.

His tamed beast did not tire easily and was even happy to run faster than the cart a few times.

[You sure do like speed, huh?] Logan commented as he held on to the spikes on his tamed beast’s back.

His saddle was fixed by one of Rosengard’s best leatherworkers and fit his beast perfectly.

Scorch could run at top speed, and Logan wouldn’t feel a thing. This was because his falcon helped by reducing and guiding the air current, aiding them instead of working against them.

The boy felt as free as he could possibly be. He saw the carriage being left behind and then stopped Scorch, who could not get enough of being let free from the small room he was placed in.

[Alright, calm down, we need to wait for the others.]

[Boring, want, run,] Scorch said as he breathed flames into the sky in a rebellious attitude. It was like a child’s tantrum, but he was easily calmed with a pet.

[Don’t worry, we will have you walk until your feet fall off soon, then you will want to be as bored as today,] Logan explained as he looked back. The carriage was closing in, and he spotted Rubina’s pet riding on top of the carriage.

Today, they brought the whole team, including his goblin, who would probably be the most useful.

They would be heading into the cave to have Krexa visit her mother before they left, and Logan wanted a few more crystals for himself and even more water.

It wasn’t long before they reached the forest, and within half an hour, they were near the goblin dwelling.

As always, someone would burn and hide the dirty entrance. The goblins didn’t bother to check who did that after the third time.

They let themselves in, spotting only goblin warriors protecting the entrance with weapons they had given them before.

The warriors smiled as the youths passed through and greeted Krexa, who was happy to be home.

They were relaxed, and with Krexa’s help, no one bothered or stopped them.

Other than those who wanted to meet the goblin, they seemed curious about why she was dressed differently now.

She wore her frilly dress that the maids made for her, showing it off while acting like a high-class girl.

Some of her actions seemed to mimic Rubina as she walked.

“Don’t tell me she is mimicking me…” Rubina exclaimed, pretending to be offended.

“It does look like something you would do. It’s adorable the way she walks,” Kai added, trying to stop himself from laughing.

“Don’t laugh at her; she is trying hard,” Chloe pointed out while watching from afar.

“Let’s keep going, we have to be back early,” Logan cut them off, feeling pressured by the events that would come.

As they went further down, the crowd of goblins cheered even more. This grew even greater when Krexa spotted her mother. She bowed politely, as any human would to a royal, mimicking human customs.

The queen mother of the goblins seemed overjoyed at the intelligence Krexa showed.

Her confidence had skyrocketed compared to before when she would only follow her mother.

Krexa hugged her after showing how much she had learned.

“As before, I have brought food for all to enjoy,” Logan began, bringing out more food than last time. He was prepared for there to be even more goblins, but this time the tribe seemed to be fewer than the previous time.

[Krexa, where did the other goblins go?] Logan asked with a worried expression, thinking another tragedy had happened to the tribe.

[No, worry, left, they go,] she tried expressing. Logan understood and realized that it was a rough life for goblins. In mere days, they would grow and leave the nest.

As the goblins enjoyed the banquet, the youths left and went down to the crystal cavern.

Logan, as before, noticed that none of the goblins wanted to head down. This time, he had Krexa to explain the reason.

[Master, no, danger,] Krexa called out after a certain distance.

[Danger from what? I haven’t seen anything yet,] Logan said, stopping the group who kept going down.

[Crystal, beast, sharp, fang,] the small goblin said, trembling.

Logan looked towards his tamed beast, who shook in fright. He then told everyone what Krexa had said.

“Well, we could try to get the nearest ones for now while trying to see what lurks there,” Chloe responded, holding on to her weapon.

“Yeah, I came prepared to fight today. We should at least see what we are up against. It’s not like anything happened so far,” Kai added.

“I kind of want to see what my bird will do…” Rubina said as she petted the Aurolious Fowl, who was always by her side.

Seeing that no one wanted to back down, Logan marched forth, entering the crystal cavern.
