Chapter 11: I have a plan (2)
Lathel thought about it, and he felt that whether he refused or accepted this, the outcome wouldn’t change much.
If he did not accept being the one to rush into the cave to get the treasure, he would have to be the one to lure the Goblins away from the cave.
Whatever the case, he would be in danger.
It seemed that Alec sensed that Lathel was worried, so he smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I promise you will be safe.” I will try to provoke those Goblins to chase me, then you just need to go inside the cave and bring out the most valuable things.”
Lathel: “…”
Lathel glanced at Alec, then frowned and said: “Have you…have you thought about a scenario where there is a treasure chest inside? At that time, how can I bring that chest out?”
“Heh?!” Alec was startled, he hadn’t thought of that scenario at all.
Without waiting for Alec to answer, Lathel continued: “Have you thought about the scenario where your intuition is wrong and there are still Goblins or other monsters inside?”
“I…”
“Besides… what if the Goblins aren’t provoked by you and don’t leave the cave?”
“This… I…”
“For example, if your intuition is right, what will you do to fight those 8 Goblins? If you fail and run away, what should I do?”
Alec: “…”
Alec remained silent, as he did not know how to answer Lathel’s questions.
Lathel also sighed tiredly. He didn’t think that the main character would only rely on his intuition without any clear plan.
It seemed he only had a simple plan in mind.
“You really didn’t think of any other scenarios?”
Hearing Lathel speak, Alec faltered: “I… I think my plan was the simplest and most effective.”
Lathel also seemed to realize something.
‘Alec only has a simple plan in his head, which proves that his brain cannot process highly complex information.’
‘Could it be that… he has never had contact with society or… he is a NEET.’
Lathel also had many employees in the past, many of whom thought very simply because they had little contact with society.
But thinking simply like Alec could only mean that he was a NEET.
Just as Lathel thought, on Earth, Alec did not have much contact with society. All the time he was in his room, online, playing games and reading manga.
Alec didn’t seem to want to involve himself socially, he didn’t even go to work nor did he participate in any other social activities.
That’s why Alec’s thinking was extremely simple. So simple that it was like a child’s way of thinking.
“Okay, we need a plan, don’t rush in like daredevils.” Lathel sighed and said.
Alec frowned, feeling a bit embarrassed and angry. He always followed his intuition, however, he never fails.
After hearing what Lathel said, he felt a bit angry. However, he did not find any reason to refute him.
Indeed, acting on his intuition in this case was quite dangerous.
Thinking for a moment, Alec nodded and said: “Okay, I will listen to you.”
Even though Alec agreed, Lathel could sense that Alec was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He could fake his expression but his eyes couldn’t hide his emotions. Lathel could sense that Alec was really angry, and annoyed.
Lathel frowned, and silently remembered Alec’s expression.
The two of them gently retreated back, and moved to a place about 200 meters away from that cave.
At this moment, Alec and Lathel sat on the ground, facing each other. Lathel held a branch and drew on the ground the basic situation around the cave.
“You said… 3 Goblins are guarding outside, are there 5 other Goblins in the cave?” Lathel asked. .
Alec nodded, extremely confident and said: “That’s right. My plan is… I will provoke those Goblins. Anyway, Goblins’ intelligence is not high, so they will definitely chase me.”
“At that moment, you will go inside the cave and take out all the valuable things.”
Hearing these, Lathel glanced at Alec. He didn’t say anything, as he just rubbed his chin in thought.
Alec glanced at Lathel at this moment, he was using his thoughts to communicate with his master: “Master, inside that cave, in addition to the other 5 Goblins, there is also a Goblin Shaman, right?”
“That’s right.” A voice rang in Alec’s head: “That Goblin Shaman is not strong, however, if you are surrounded by the 8 Goblins then you will definitely be killed by that Shaman.”
“With your power, you can defeat the 8 Goblins easily. But if the goblin Shaman makes an appearance, it will be different.”
“A group of Goblins will be very strong if a Shaman appears, but if they are separated, they are not dangerous.”
“Let Lathel go inside the cave, while the Goblin Shaman attacks him, we will kill the other 8 Goblins. After that, your job is to clean up the battlefield.”
Hearing the voice in his head instructing him, Alec smiled happily: “Hm… I’m afraid he will die too quickly. Anyway, his Talent is only Rank F, yesterday’s pills only helped him increase his energy a little.”
“Then give him another pill, give him the ‘Crazy Blood’ pill. If he is lucky, he can defeat the Goblin Shaman.”
“Hahahaha… Master, you are really cruel.” Alec secretly laughed: “Anyone who takes that pill can double their strength, however, the price they have to pay is death.”
“That’s the best way.” Alec’s master spoke up: “If he can kill the Goblin Shaman, then we don’t need to spend much effort.”
“Even if he can’t kill the Goblin Shaman, he can seriously injure him. Then what we need to do is much simpler.”
Alec nodded, he felt that this was the best plan. In his heart, he thought to himself: ‘I’m lucky I met an idiot in this place, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to attack that Goblin’s cave.’
Lathel looked at the drawings he had drawn on the ground so he could more easily visualize the current situation.
Suddenly, Lathel frowned and said: “That’s good, your plan is quite simple but very effective.”
Hearing Lathel’s words, Alec smirked contemptuously. However, his expression only appeared for 1 second, after that, Alec revealed his extremely friendly face.
“Hahaha… don’t worry. I have something for you.” Alec took a pill out of his pocket and gave it to Lathel.
“There are definitely no other dangers in the cave. However, just in case you are in danger, take this pill.”
“After ingesting it, your strength will temporarily increase. Of course, it doesn’t have any side effects because it will only make you a little stronger, strong enough to run away.”
Lathel did not doubt anything, as he received the pill from Alec, he smiled and said: “Thank you. I will definitely not disappoint you. However..”
“Hmm?”
“What I mean is… let’s wait until evening, then it will be easier for us to act.”
Listening to Lathel’s words, Alec rubbed his chin, as he felt that this was extremely reasonable.
“Okay, then we’ll wait until evening.”
Alec and Lathel discussed the plan a bit more, after which, Alec wanted to go around looking for more resources or herbs.
Lathel sat and rested.
At this moment, Lathel held the red pill that Alec had just given him in his hand, and thought about many things.
‘In all the Fantasy novels and manga I’ve read, Goblins have very low intelligence and act completely based on instinct.’
‘However, the Goblins from before were guarding the entrance of the cave, which means they have a leader. Probably an Orc or a Goblin Shaman.’
‘But Alec said that inside the cave there were only 5 other Goblins, which means that he wants me to stall the Orc or the Shaman in the cave.’
‘It seems… this bastard wants to use me as bait.’
‘But thanks to that, I am aware of Alec’s true nature and his fighting ability.’
‘Alec seems to be able to defeat 8 Goblins easily so he chose the task of provoking the Goblins.’
‘But… why is he so sure that the leader of these Goblins won’t come out of the cave?’
‘Could it be… that their leader is a Goblin Shaman? Only a Shaman chooses to hide in the dark, in a safe place.’
Lathel thought, although a Goblin Shaman was not as strong as an Orc, they could use magic.
Even though a Goblin Shaman is weak, that doesn’t mean that Lathel can defeat it easily.
Lathel looked at the pill in his hand and smiled contemptuously: ‘Huh! There are no side effects… Do you think I’m a fool ?’
‘If in this world there really was a drug that increased someone’s strength without any side effects, then everyone wouldn’t need to to practice.’
‘Unfortunately, I just came to this world and only know general knowledge. I still don’t know many other things, so I don’t know what this pill is.’
But it’s definitely not something good. Or worse, maybe after I use this pill, my strength will increase but then I will definitely die.’
Lathel felt that these had a very high chance of happening.
Why?
Because Lathel felt that Alec was arrogant, greedy and that he had a huge ego.
Lathel didn’t think that Alec would share the treasure with him fairly.
“Sigh…” Lathel sighed. He felt extremely tired.
In reality, he just wanted to quietly be a normal supporting character, marry 10 wives, and then live in a big house.
Occasionally, he would go on adventures and explore this Fantasy world.
So why have things become so difficult?
