Rich Ragnarok's
episode 8: looking for answers to the oddities

Budi several times checked the place, checking all its peculiarities. However, he found nothing else. Budi had thought the strangeness he found was likely related to the hourglass mark in the sky. Heru appeared from behind.

"What is this really about?" ask her confused.

"I think there's something strange I should rush home. Please check the people who cut down the trees. I want to rush to Mr. Gilbert's house" said a worried-looking favor.

Heru carries out his duties of checking the citizens. Budi hurried to the mansion master Gilbert wanted to ask for an explanation. When he entered the house, he did not find Mr. Gilbert. But only find mistress Gilbert who helped cook by mita preparing lunch.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, where is Mr gilbert? Usually I see there in the middle of the room." asked me to look tense.

"I think he's in the barn again cleaning up his old stuff" madam Gilbert said in a sad tone.

"Then I go to the warehouse first ma'am" said the beggar who hurried to the warehouse.

He saw Mr. Gilbert seriously wiping a shield and putting it on the wall again. He seemed to have a very hard time putting it on the wall because of his limp legs. Until, please help Mr. Gilbert put his shield on the wall. Mr. gilbert looks sad.

"I'm sorry you had to see my helplessness staring at my glorious past. Dear thousands, it's gone. I used to be the great knight protector of the king, now protect the villagers only the tribulation. I'm sorry you had to hear my complaint. What's the matter you came here to give me?" said master gilbert staring at his shield on the wall.

"I want to ask, did you see the incident when the village roctree attacked?" ask with a serious face.

"I had that time, let alone the village chief calling me because it was just me in this village who had fighting experience. I'll go to the west wall of the village. I was able to help the citizens prepare against the goblins. But you know most of the old and young people have been to the city" Mr. Gilbert said, looking very disappointed.

Remember when helping clara, the son of master gilbert when chased by goblins. He just realized all the residents consist of parents and small children. No one dared to fight back and just chose to hide, when clara was attacked.

"Especially this is a remote village and there are no royal guard posts. So at that time very few people were willing to try to fight, but fortunately there was a village wall. Although not very strong but can withstand the attacks of goblins, but there is something strange?" mr. Gilbert seemed to think hard.

"What's so weird about Mr. gilbert?" tanya Bud has a bad feeling

"When the goblins appeared from the north, attacking this village, there was a noise first. I saw from the two-story house the incident happened. The goblins tried to destroy the walls of the village, they threw torches and arrows from outside the walls. I ordered the residents to strengthen the walls by installing large furniture around the walls. The walls are not broken but, the fire from the torch devoured some kayak houses and burned some villages" said Mr. Gilbert, pointing to a burning table.

Mr. gilbert, then drew the plan of the appearance of goblins, as well as the forest and the village of rocktree. Then, he paused for a moment as if thinking deeply. He tried to remember the day with certainty.

"But his attacks are suddenly getting less and less. Some goblins instead went westward, especially goblins whose bodies were large. If not mistaken it's the goblin type commander. They seemed to change their minds suddenly and moved west. Then some goblins remained and in the end they suddenly blurred. I heard that when goblins gather regularly, they usually attack and plunder the village to the point that it runs out. As is the case of a village far to the north" said Mr. gilbert seriously.

"It turns out the appearance of goblins is indeed strange. I fought some goblins and I found a strange trail. The tracks are bigger than a regular goblin like the commanding goblin I defeated the other day" he said

"You are indeed the savior of the village, not expecting you to fight the goblin commander" said master Gilbert as he patted the shoulder of the favor.

"Is it possible that the goblin commander I defeated once attacked this village ? his form is about the size of a human, his face is quite terrible and uses a mace." clearly budi.

"It's very similar the possibility is very large because it looks only one goblin like that during the attack of the village and he stands out very much" said master Gilbert nodding.

"But I don't know if I feel my premonition is bad, the owner of the trail isn't an ordinary goblin commander. I was worried that if the goblin commander attacked the village, I could no longer win. Moreover, I had met a bunch of goblins in the forest near the village wall" said the favor in a worried tone.

"Then will you be able to take the shield on top of that wall?" asked mr. gilbert while pointing at the wall.

Suddenly a cat entered the barn. The cat passed through the bottom of Mr. Gilbert's feet. Mr. gilbert just smiled. The cat immediately went to the left of master gilbert while licking his body.

"It's okay that this cat is happy to be here" said Mr. gilbert with a smile.

"Give me this for you because you want to protect this village" said Mr. Gilbert smiling as he pushed the shield toward the heart.
