Chapter 1 Goblin Attack and Attack
In the Lant continent, in the eastern part of the Principality of Stan, in the small town of Landry, a bar that should have been bustling was now extremely quiet.
The bar owner Sosia, who was wearing a red low-cut dress, had pointed ears, blonde hair and blue eyes and was beautiful, was looking at the only customer left in the bar, a young man with black hair and bandages around his eyes.
"Mr. Ivan, there's news from the front that an army of 10,000 goblins is about to attack. Aren't you going to run?"
"In that case, why don't you run away, Madam Boss?"
Ivan sat at the bar, took a sip of beer, and instead of answering directly, he asked back with a calm expression.
If the proprietress wanted to close the shop and hide, she would never ask him so calmly why he didn't leave, but would have directly driven him away.
"Forget it. If the Goblin army really attacks, I will save your life."
Suo Xiya was asked back, and some doubts appeared on her face. Did this guy see through her true colors? However, when she saw the black blindfold bandage on Ivan's face, she dispelled her doubts and made a decision in her heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Boss, but I know a little bit about swordsmanship, so I won't have to worry about my life."
"Don't worry about me, just keep giving me a beer."
When Alvin heard that the other party wanted to save his life at the same time, he declined the kindness and said calmly.
As an elf magician, Sosia could naturally see that there was indeed magic flowing in Ivan's body. She thought that the other party would reveal his background as a magician, but she never expected to get this answer.
However, she did not speak directly. Instead, she continued to get a bottle of wine for the other party, helped him uncork the wine, took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Ivan, and said meaningfully.
"Who would have thought that the blind man who had only been here for a week and had become famous far and wide, was actually a hidden swordsman."
"When you are out there, you always have to have some means of self-protection."
After hearing this, Alvin still did not give a direct answer, but spoke modestly.
"Mr. Irwin, can you tell me what happened to your left hand?"
"If it's inconvenient, just consider it as me being presumptuous."
Soxia was very curious about the guest, Ivan. She picked up the red wine, twisted her slender waist like a willow branch, and sat down next to Ivan.
Because of Ivan's peculiar appearance, at first glance he looks like a blind man of level 1, but there is a flow of magic hidden in his body that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. And the strangest thing is that his red left hand with only rune marks seems to be tainted with ominous things, but the other party does not seem to be bothered by it at all.
"It's not inconvenient. It's just my left hand that was cursed by Kazan."
Upon hearing this, Alvin stretched out his right hand and touched his red ghost hand that looked like a unicorn's arm.
"Mr. Ivan is truly amazing for being able to play games with ghosts and gods."
When Soxia heard the word "ghosts and gods", her eyes narrowed, she covered her red lips lightly and then said in shock.
Even though she had never heard of the name of the god Kazan, people and things that could be given the word "god" were definitely existences that countless powerful people would find difficult to catch up with and fear.
"Ding! The host spreads the name of Kazan, making people believe that the GSD template role-playing degree has increased by 10%. The current level is %, and it can exert % of the power of GSD."
"The boss lady is really supportive. You believe whatever she says."
When Alvin heard the system's reminder, he felt that there were more skills and powers about the Ghost Swordsman profession in his body and mind, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"I know a little bit about magic, and I can tell if a person is lying, so I can naturally tell the difference."
When Sosia saw Ivan smiling, she seemed to be laughing at her own naivety. There was some seriousness on her pretty face, which slightly revealed some of her true identity.
She has been practicing natural elemental magic for thousands of years and can sense whether a person is telling the truth or lying through the flow of elements.
"I see. No wonder the boss lady believed me."
Upon hearing this, Ivan's face suddenly became enlightened.
"Sir, what you mean is that you told other people but no one believed you?"
Sosia saw the other party's reaction and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes, I answer when someone asks me, but after I answer, no matter what I say, no one believes me, and I am labeled a liar instead."
"So I had to move around looking for another place to stay."
"We just arrived at the small town of Landry..."
At this time, Alvin finally found someone who was willing to listen to and believe in him. With some helplessness on his face, he told him some sad things from his past.
He traveled to this world and one month has passed since then. He has awakened the character template system, and the first template he got was GSD, the mentor of the Ghost Swordsman profession in "Dungeon & Fighter".
The method provided by the system to improve the degree of role playing is to understand GSD and make it known and trusted by more people.
So, relying on the powerful strength given by the GSD template, he earned some gold coins and began to frequently go to bars where there were many people and gossips.
Because he knew that in a place like this, as long as something got out, it could spread from person to person and easily let most people in a town or even a city know about it.
If occasionally someone says they believe in him and slowly improves his role, he can gain a foothold temporarily, while spreading the word, do his part to help the people in that place and protect them.
But the result is often that others think he is just bragging and don't believe his words at all. There are also many people who, after specifically consulting many books and not finding any person or thing that matches the name of Kazan, say that he is a liar and even threaten to sue him in court if he doesn't leave, so that he has to leave and move to another place.
"Mr. Ivan..."
When Sosia heard this story and was about to comfort the other person, she was interrupted by a noise, crying and disorderly footsteps outside the bar.
"Help! The news is true. The goblins are really going to enter the village."
"Run."
"Where are the Kingdom's soldiers? Why are they still missing?"
"Mother……"
When Soxia heard the voice, her face changed, she sighed and was about to get up.
But Ivan, who was originally in a very good mood, turned indifferent. He stood up and a wooden sword that looked harmless appeared in his hand.
"Madam, please wait here. I'll go and take care of this little problem, and then I'll come back and tell you everything about what happened."
"Is it really okay to use this wooden sword?"
When Sosia saw Ivan's weapon, although she believed that the other party was a strong man, she was still a little surprised.
"Whether you can kill the opponent or not does not depend on whether the weapon is sharp."
Upon hearing this, Ivan paused and looked in the direction of the wooden sword in his hand. His face and words were full of confidence.
"Since Mr. Ivan is willing to help, I will do my best to protect those children who have been separated from their parents."
Upon hearing this, Sosia did not just wait in the bar, but got up and followed.
She believed that Mr. Ivan was definitely a strong man, and she could protect the small town without revealing her strength and identity, so she had to do her best.
Then he pushed open the wooden door of the bar, and while the ordinary people around him were crying and shouting and running away, he walked against the flow towards the entrance of the town with his wooden sword in hand.
Sosia watched Ai Wenhua as a beam of white sword light crossed hundreds of meters in just two seconds and disappeared from her sight. Knowing that the town of Landry was safe today, she was not idle either. She hurried to comfort the children who were crying near the bar because they were separated in the panic.
Ivan's face turned cold, and he used the five-segment slash of the sword spirit. His body was like a flash of sword light, and he rushed towards the entrance of the town quickly, taking one hundred meters at a time.
He had finally found someone who believed him as soon as he said it, and was just planning to earn some more points from the proprietress, but now his plan was ruined by these goblins. How could he not be angry?
At the same time, two miles outside the town of Landry.
More than a dozen soldiers in armor were standing back to back, fighting a bloody battle with a large number of ugly and short goblins.
He could kill a goblin with just a wave of his sword, but the number of goblins besieging them was too large to kill them all, so he was already wounded and it was not surprising that he fell down at any time.
"Rom, the message has been sent back."
"Captain Vic, when the goblins started to move, I followed your instructions and sent a letter back to convey the news. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have almost retreated by now."
"Just pass it back. Although there will definitely be people who don't believe and stay in the town to suffer, it's good enough to be able to save a large number of people who believe."
"If the higher-ups didn't believe the news of the Goblin army's riot, we wouldn't have lost so many people, and civilians might even have been implicated."
"If you ask me, those damn nobles in the kingdom have long lost sight of the sufferings of the people below."
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"We are all going to die now, why are you still talking nonsense!"
"Yes, Captain. If you don't tell me now, you won't be able to tell me later."
"Even though I know that we are of low status and are just soldiers guarding a small border town, I will never betray the oath I made in the temple until my death."
"But why do the higher-ups look down on us and the dangers of monsters..."
These soldiers knew that their death was approaching, so the emotions that were usually blocked in their hearts burst out, and they uttered foul language and treasonous words.
However, when facing the goblin army, they never thought of escaping even though they knew they would die.
One or two of them just felt aggrieved, because it was not that they knew about the situation but did not report it or ask for help from their superiors in advance. Instead, they reported the request for help in advance but their superiors did not take it seriously at all, which led to the current fatal situation.
If their deaths could bring peace to the town, it would be a good outcome.
But now that they are dead, even if the residents of the town of Landry evacuate in time, the town will fall, and many civilians will become refugees, forced to wander in a foreign land with their wives and children. This is what they least want to see.
Just when they were about to die heroically, a yellow sword energy more than ten meters wide flew from behind. The ground and the air shook wherever it passed. A large number of goblins didn't even have time to howl before their bodies were chopped into pieces by the sword energy and flew backwards, knocking down a large number of goblins.
This strike directly cut out a road that was more than ten meters wide and more than two hundred meters long, killing countless goblins.
The terrifying swordsmanship and power left the dozen or so soldiers stunned.
