Chapter 27
“With this money, this child will surely have a bright future.”
Yes, indeed. With the savings of two senior noble mercenaries and this house, although without parents, it’s enough to ensure this little baby grows up carefree.
However, as expected, unexpected things happened.
Just as the nanny, who looked average at thirty, was standing by, a glint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and in an instant, she seized the opportunity.
The nanny knelt before Andayal and Miser, tears welling in her eyes, and said, “Two, actually... I, I have Lord Kemon’s child in my belly...”
Andayal was momentarily stunned, falling into silence. As a member of the noble class, he had little experience dealing with the phenomenon of commoners seizing opportunities like this.
Professions like adventurers and mercenaries were prone to accidents, and once they occurred, their estates would be divided among those around them.
At times like these, many people would scheme to get their hands on the estates of these adventurers and mercenaries, eagerly waiting for when something might happen to the family, ready to take advantage.
Miser, who was well aware of such things, with his vast experience, wore a charitable smile on his weathered face.
After all, he was partly responsible for the parents of this child’s demise. As an enemy of this child, allowing it to grow too comfortably might lead to trouble in the future.
If the inheritance of this household fell into the hands of this opportunistic woman, and the money went to the illegitimate child in her belly, the future of this child would no longer be smooth sailing.
With hardships filling the child’s life, struggling to survive every day, how would it have the chance to seek revenge?
The nanny’s acting skills were superb as she tearfully pleaded, “If not for this child, I would never have spoken of this. Please, I beg of you... My child in my belly has lost its father. It’s really hard for me to raise it alone without its father’s inheritance.”
Miser hurriedly went forward to help the pregnant woman up, his kindly face filled with emotion, saying, “Ah, I am not a devil. Don’t be afraid. Since your child is Lord Kemon’s, we will naturally take care of you and your child on his behalf.”
Andayal hesitated to intervene in the old man’s experience. The nanny’s passionate plea also convinced her that perhaps there was some truth to this.
Thus, today, before Naga, imprisoned in the goblin lair, could give birth to a sibling for this little baby, it was already announced that the baby would have a sibling.
With the matter settled, Miser went to the baby’s bedside, picked up the crying child wrapped in swaddling clothes, and began to soothe him.
“Poor child, may the purity your mother believes in bless you, may the Holy Light illuminate your path, bringing luck and blessings to your life.”
Some people soar right after birth, while others seem to fly but have already landed, with crocodiles on the ground, swamps below, and magma underneath, all filled with despair.
Of course, this poor child still has hope.
Hope to see his true siblings.
Even though his mother strongly refuses to acknowledge it.
Right now, in the deserted goblin lair, his siblings, the goblin children, have been born.
Chapter 42: The Motherly Love of the Priestess
In Lila’s room, accompanied by Chen Le, Lila’s heart gradually became accustomed to the carefree life she was living now.
Simple girls are easy to bully and easy to settle into the status quo.
Although she had not received any news of anyone coming to rescue her so far, the process of giving birth was not so painful, but the life of enjoyment was like that of an emperor’s concubine.
This kind of life, compared to her previous noble life where she could only stay at home learning etiquette, seemed to have hardly changed.
Eating well and drinking well, Count Earl Rogerson’s daughter Lila accepted her current situation.
Lila (resting after childbirth) (third child completed)
Lila’s current hope value: 38
New offspring of the Goblin Emperor:
1 Red Devil Goblin
Six ordinary goblins
On the same day as Lila’s childbirth, there was another addition to the Goblin Emperor’s direct bloodline, the newly abducted priestess, Naga.
After Lila fell asleep peacefully, Chen Le arrived outside Naga’s cell and witnessed the scene.
The somewhat weakened Naga looked incredulously at the children she had given birth to. Upon seeing Chen Le, she unwillingly asked, “Why are there only three?”
Indeed, this beautiful priestess had only given birth to three offspring for the Goblin Emperor’s first litter.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! These are three Red Devil Goblins, and the combat power of one of them is higher than dozens of ordinary goblins combined!
No, this can’t be. I actually gave birth to goblins.
Great is the Goddess Tina, please forgive my sins.”
Although the other party was an elf king born from goblins, Naga still felt regretful for giving birth to goblins. She felt ashamed of the intoxication she experienced the night she conceived goblins.
Chen Le was about to speak when he suddenly thought of the number 996 and remembered the social atmosphere of his previous life, feeling that it was too ominous.
But the other party was a human who had slaughtered a large number of goblins.
An ominous number was just right for a woman with so much sin.
“Don’t you want to go home and see your newborn child?”
In the goblin lair, the Goblin Emperor enticed beautiful human women into the abyss with a devilish tone.
“As long as you’re proactive enough, it’ll only take a few years for you to leave this filthy goblin lair, which is filthy for you, and embrace your lovely child. By then, your child may only be a few years old, and you can still raise him to live a happy life.”
In the dark and gloomy goblin lair, the human priestess Naga listened to the Goblin Emperor’s devilish suggestion, her mind filled with beautiful scenes of herself happily strolling with her child.
A crystal clear tear fell from the darkness, and maternal love flourished in this moment.
“I... am willing to atone, please grant me punishment.”
Naga’s current hope value: 38
Today, the human priestess felt regret for her past actions of slaughtering goblins, constantly repenting in her heart.
At night, she couldn’t sleep, alone, missing her child far away in human territory. But she didn’t know when several strange small figures began to appear in her mind.
“Mommy~”
Among them, a Red Devil Goblin offspring, as cute as a human girl, softly called out to her mother.
Half asleep, half awake, Naga sat up in bed, cradling her now slimmed-down belly, feeling empty inside.
“My child, my child...”
On this dark night, this mother seemed somewhat lonely.
However, she wouldn’t be lonely for long, because soon after, she would awaken, and new enemies had already appeared.
During the night, a group of adventurers in the Exploding Monkey territory of the central district did not choose to leave before dark.
They were greedily harvesting a large amount of life-force herbs they had just discovered in the Exploding Monkey territory when they happened upon goblins sneaking into the Exploding Monkey territory to pick life-force herbs under cover of night to avoid the gaze of humans and Exploding Monkeys.
Chapter 43: Encounter with Human Adventurers’ Attack
In the morning, Chen Le emerged from Lila’s room and hurried to the council hall.
Many purple demon goblins and ordinary goblins had gathered here early.
Anruth’s expression at this moment was particularly solemn, and the other purple demon goblins seemed somewhat restless.
“What’s going on?”
When Chen Le appeared, the goblins instantly found their backbone and became much calmer.
But undoubtedly, whether discovered by humans or encountering the forest overlords, it could be a disaster for the goblin lair.
Anruth muttered, “Last night, the goblins we sent to steal life-force herbs didn’t come back. In the latter half of the night, I sent goblins out to search, but only found the smell of blood on the road.”
Chen Le asked, “Where are the bodies? Who did this?”
Anruth shook his head, and the other purple demon goblins also wore troubled expressions.
“No bodies were left behind. The surrounding traces were clean and sharp, without any extra signs of battle. We can’t tell who did it.”
Chen Le fell silent.
Encountering such scant information, even the Goblin Emperor couldn’t help but frown.
Any slight unusual sign could bring great disaster to their goblins.
