The Record of Orc Civilization

Goblins are one of the races of a small-bodied monster species. They have the same skin color as orcs but have a different way of life from orcs.

Based on a goblin folks tale told by Ez to Moku. The first herd of goblins in this world chose a cave as their residence.

Their small bodies make them more vulnerable to become prey if they live in the open. Also with their small bodies, goblins can enter into narrow and small caves.

Starting from the small cave the number of goblins continued to grow. Unlike orcs, goblins have two sexes, male and female, so they can reproduce on their own.

The increase in the number of goblin populations is very rapid, the gestation period of goblins is very fast, only between 30-35 days from start of pregnancy.

This makes them need a large place to live and a large amount of food. However, their small and weak bodies will be vulnerable to become prey for other animals if they move to the surface.

Therefore goblins develop the ability to build caves so that it becomes a labyrinth that has a length that does not lose to anthills.

To meet their food needs, the goblin tribe found a way to grow mushrooms that can thrive in places that lack sunlight. They also found other plants that can live in caves.

That way most of the diet of the goblin tribe is mushroom and fruit, so it can be said that the goblin is a vegetarian race.

However, they can still eat meat, over time the goblins will make traps that they set on the surface to trap animals that pass through.

Then they also make weapons that can paralyze or kill prey from a distance.

As a result of these two things, the goblin race became a race that was respected by other monsters, their ability to make traps and long-range weapons was unmatched by a race of large and strong monsters like orcs.

The weakness of their bodies makes them find their way to the strength of their minds.

Moku glanced at Hoddurt who was walking in front of them. Hoddurt seemed to be walking leisurely and not in a hurry. However the sound of tapping the cane and the ground creates a rhythm that indicates the user is in a state of alert.

It seemed that Hoddurt's casualness and unhurriedness were just an illusion to cover his nervousness. He also never expected that the orc chieftain had such great power.

Their decision to attack the orc tribe was almost become a suicide case for the goblin tribe. But the orcs that came to their tribe were only 4 orcs, and it seemed that among the four of them only Moku had that power.

Moku activated his inner eye and looked at Hoddurt once again. From his inner eye, Moku knew that Hoddurt also possessed the power of prana, but it was very different and very small compared to dragon prana which Moku and the orcs have.

Moku heard from Boku that the shaman of the orc tribe was once able to control the weather, curse the orcs he touched, or make the orcs become stronger.

After hearing that, Moku became confused, because if the shaman had such great power then the orc tribe couldn't be slaughtered by the mage that easily.

When the mage came why didn't the shaman just shower them with lightning or send a curse on them. Then, Moku remembered one of the old-school professions in his country, Rainhandler.

Rainhandler in society is known as someone who can control the weather, stop the rain, move the rain, or make it rain heavier.

But along with the times, the myth of Rainhandler is increasingly being investigated by the public, more and more of them do not believe in Rainhandler's abilities and think they are just a fraud.

Even so, there are still many who believe in their abilities and their services are still used in certain events such as weddings to prevent rain from falling during the party.

Until a legendary person appears who reveal all the mythical secrets of all the shaman, he calls himself the Red Magician. With his magic ability and intelligence, Red Magician uncovers every myth that exists in society.

He discovered the fact that the Rainhandlers weren't someone who could control the weather but they were someone who was able to predict the weather.

By paying attention to air temperature, cloud patterns, and wind direction, Rainhandler tried to predict the weather that would come soon. Even so, their guess could be wrong and the probability of being right was not more than 50%.

The number of people who use Rainhandler services is become decreasing.

Until after humans began to be able to see directly the weather forecast on the gadgets in their hands based on satellite reports in space, Rainhandler services were no longer used and were only considered as part of culture and not to be trusted like science.

Moku hypothesizes that the orc shaman's ability to control the weather is the same as Rainhandler's, he's just guessing the weather instead of controlling it.

Then the ability to curse and give power to the orcs he touched, this might be true. Because for Moku who mastered dragon prana, cursing and strengthening the orc body was an easy thing.

Moku just needs to flow a little bit of his dragon prana into the orc's body then the orc will become very strong or Moku can also use his dragon prana to destroy the orc's body.

However, this is only temporary and will have a fatal effect on the orc's body because it has been entered by dragon prana that is not from its own body.

There is even a possibility that the dragon prana in the orc's body will try to fight back and prevent Moku's dragon prana from entering. So that it can cause the orc's body to explode due to the battle of the two dragon prana.

Because of that Moku never to try it.

Moku regard that Hoddurt has the same power as the orc shaman. The pseudo and imperfect power of prana control.

Although it looks small from the outside, the overall length of the goblin cave can exceed the length of The Great River which splits Glittering Meadow in two.

Its twisty shape and many passages could lead one to be strayed to death without the need for goblins to attack. The longer the goblin tribe occupies a cave, the more complicated the maze in the cave will be.

Not only that, an infinite number of traps can kill invaders without them even realizing it. Then with the goblin's small body size, the way in the cave made the orcs have to bend down to get through.

It is also useful for depleting the stamina of those who are taller than goblins. Moku who has a height of up to 2.3 meters looks awkward when passing through this goblin cave.

Hoddurt took them around as if he were a tour guide for the orcs, he introduced the rooms in the goblin cave one by one.

Such as the dining room, bedroom, baby room, to the room for taking out the dirt and etc.

However, he always chose a path filled with traps so that the orcs attacked by these automatic traps once or twice.

Moku always breaks the trap quickly, so no orcs are hurt. Hoddurt always reasoned that he forgot where the trap was because of his old age.

However, as this continued, the orcs questioned Hoddurt's true intentions in bringing them into the rooms.

The goblins chuckled at the sight of the orcs having a hard time walking because they had to bend down and their shocked faces when they were nearly injured by the traps in the goblin cave.

At first Moku was still calm and followed Hoddurt's game, but gradually the traps they encountered became more and more dangerous until one of them had poison that was even capable of immobilizing orcs instantly.

Finally Moku couldn't take it anymore and said to Hoddurt in a threatening tone "Shaman Hoddurt! You'd better stop this game of yours! We don't have much time to play with you.

If you don't immediately take us to the actual meeting room then I will destroy this cave of yours along with all the goblins here!"

Hoddurt turned and looked at Moku's eyes, he saw that Moku was very serious with his words "I'm sorry KuMoku, I just want to test your strength a little. Right now, I already believe that you have the ability to kill a gold tier danger mutated animal"

He then tapped his stick on one of the cave walls, then suddenly the cave wall shook and opened. It turns out that there is a hidden path behind the wall.

"Please come in, this time we really are going into the meeting room" Hoddurt said as he walked into the path.

The other goblins also followed behind him. The orcs who were glancing at each other decided to also enter the path.

It wasn't long before they arrived at a very large room. The room was shaped like a half-circular stadium with a high podium in the center.

The room had very high ceilings and made it unnecessary for the orcs to bent in it. The hard floor wasn't like the damp ground they walked through when walking in the goblin cave.

Although there was no light in this room, it was not necessary because all species of monsters were able to see in the dark.

Hoddurt, Tam, and three other unknow goblins stood on the podium and looked at the orcs with intense gazes. Their eyes showed disbelief and wariness of the guests who had just arrived.

Moku didn't stop his steps and walked to the front of the podium with his chest puffed out. The orcs followed behind him, they also puffed out their chests to maintain the prestige of an orc.

Moku kept walking until he was only five meters away from himself and the podium.

Swa stopped along with the other orcs, he looked around him and the view he see made his eyes widen.

The room was already filled with fully armed goblins, they were all on alert and didn't hesitate to attack if the goblins standing on the podium ordered them.

Their number exceeds hundreds, maybe even thousands. This massive number of goblins made Swa, Laya, and Zalthu hold their weapons tightly.

Whereas Moku was still smiling calmly, he waited for the host to start talking.

"I welcome KuMoku and the other orcs he brought. I've already apologized for our less-than-friendly welcome, so I won't do it again.

My name is Hoddurt, I am the shaman of this goblin tribe.

You've already met Tam, the future goblin chieftain.

On my right is Volx, he is the head of hunting as well as the head of security for the goblin tribe.

Next to him was Shizz, she was the head of the nursery and the guardian of all the baby goblins that were born.

Next to Tam is Hez, he is the Head of the mushroom and fruit plantation, he is the one who manages the entire food supply of the goblin tribe.

KuMoku, I heard that you as a chieftain and the strongest orc will only speak to the strongest goblins as well, but I have brought all the higher-ups of the goblin tribe before you.

So you definitely don't mind talking to the five of us in lieu of the strongest goblin.

Now is the time for you to tell us why you came to our tribe!

If you mean bad!

I swear even if all five of us are killed, you won't be able to get out of this cave and will be buried forever with us." Hoddurt didn't threaten but made a promise that all the goblins present would keep.
