A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 6 The Female Knight and the Young Lady in the Goblin Cave

Qin Chuan memorized all the information on the map as quickly as possible.

He asked, ".Where are we?"

The goblin leader pointed with his sharp fingernails at a forest in the corner of the map, about 70 miles away from Ashwell.

"Let's go now. After sunset, we'll see humans!"

The goblins roared excitedly, and the hunting war cries echoed in the cave, making Qin Chuan's eardrums hurt.

"Stop, stop, I'm not in such a hurry to contact the Demon King."

Qin Chuan had a sad face and said, "Don't drag me into this if you kill someone."

【Ding! 】

The system that had been offline for a long time suddenly came back to life, and the pop-up window that popped up scared Qin Chuan so much that he trembled.

[The system has completed the future calculation of 'Host's escape from the current predicament'. Do you want to view the prompt? ]

【Warning: If you choose to view, you will pay the price. 】

What's going on with this b system?
The system's previous judgment seemed to be correct. This group of goblins would not harm him. Instead, they would provide him with good food and drink. Naturally, there was no problem at all.

So he thought the system ignored his question, but he figured it out again.
"System, what does the future reminder function do?"

The "Future Tips" module can help the host solve current problems. No matter what the host needs or wants to do, they can ask for help from "Future Tips". The system will provide a practical solution to help the host achieve their goals.

Oh my god, ChatGPT!!
['Future Tips' require a price that matches the revenue, and the system allows credit within a certain limit.]

[The 'Future Reminder' module reports an error, the price calculation function is missing, and the credit function is missing.]

[Warning: If you forcefully use future prompts, the system will charge a random fee.]

Qin Chuan supported his head and frowned in thought.

This system looks very powerful. It can provide solutions to any problem. Then can I ask it when I return to Earth?

But like the illustrated guide system, it is in a semi-broken state, and it is not clear how useful it is.

You might want to try it out first to see how effective the future reminder function will be.

As for the price mentioned by the system, Qin Chuan didn't care at all.

My buddy doesn't even have any clothes on him, you can take whatever you want, can you even deduct my Huabei money?

'Check.'

【——The price has been collected.】

[Located east of Aiswell, the goblins in the forest outside the border of the Kingdom of Luo captured a group of caravans passing through through a trade.]

This caravan, belonging to the Branson family of Ashwell, was transporting a shipment of priceless arcane materials. After being plundered, the caravan's guards and stewards fell into the hands of goblins, who then sacrificed them to the Demon King. None of them survived.

[The only two survivors of the caravan are being held captive in the goblin's lair: Lady Chadel Branson of the Branson family and her escort, Knight Katrin.]

Please rescue these two.

I am Chao, the female knight and the young lady in the Goblin Cave!
Qin Chuan directly stated that the subject matter of the book is related to reality.

Wait, what does rescuing them have to do with my predicament?
But Qin Chuan looked at the two corpses in front of him and subconsciously asked the leader: "Did you capture a female knight and a young lady?"

The goblin leader, who was yelling and calling for a hunt, tilted his head and asked unwisely, "Female knight?"

"It's two women." Qin Chuan gestured: "Two women who were locked up by you."

The Goblin leader gave an ambiguous smirk: "Women, they're useful!"

"Useful?" Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat. When he searched for keywords like goblin cave, female knight, and young lady on Baidu, half of the results would not pass the review.

Forget it, turning into a puff is better than turning into a human, let’s save it first.

Qin Chuan said seriously: "Where are they? Take me to see them."

The goblin leader actually hesitated for a moment.

"Women. Are. Useful"

"This is His Majesty's order." Qin Chuan said with a cold face.

The goblin leader immediately knelt down, trembling and ready to lead the way.

"Wait a minute, find me a pair of shorts first."

Somewhere in the cave.

In a corner that would be difficult for outsiders to find without someone who knows the way, two girls were leaning against each other.

There were several goblins guarding the door, but for some reason, they left in a hurry, as if something big had happened.

Although there were no guards, the two had no chance of escaping the cave. They were locked up for nearly two days without a drop of water and were in a very depressed state.

The pink-haired girl was named Shadel, and the wounded man she was holding was her bodyguard knight Catherine.

Katrin's condition appeared far worse than Shadel's. Her entire right arm was a horrifically charred black. The burns from the flames blended with the blood scabs, forming a continuous, ulcerated patch of flesh. This was clearly not something a goblin could have caused. Over a day had passed, and the burns had triggered inflammation, leading to Katrin's high fever. If it weren't for her exceptional physique, she would have passed out long ago.

Xia Daier could feel Catherine trembling, so she hugged her tighter. The girl tried to keep the knight warm in this way, but the chills caused by the fever were a sign of worsening illness. If he was not treated quickly, not to mention what would happen to his hand, his life might be in danger.

"Young lady, please let go," Katrin gasped. "Illness is contagious."

Xia Dai'er's pure white skirt had long been stained red with blood, but her expression was as calm as usual:
"If I get infected, I'll deduct your salary to buy medicine."

"Miss" Catherine was a little touched.

"Given the time, the news of the caravan's disappearance should have reached the family by now." Xia Dai'er was also a little scared, but she was still encouraging the guards: "Don't be afraid, they're just a bunch of goblins. My brother will bring the airborne guards to kill them all, just like this, swish swish swish——"

Xia Dai'er imitated the sound of sword dancing and waved her little fists.

"But." Catherine seemed to be worried about something, but the words were stuck in her mouth.

The items transported by the caravan were ostensibly goods, but in reality they were arcane artifacts that were strictly controlled by the city of Eswell.

With the armed forces disguised as a caravan, it was impossible for them to be threatened by a group of goblins.

They encountered robbers in the forest. It was obvious that the robbers were well prepared, and there were even extraordinary people among them. The caravan was caught off guard and wiped out. In the end, the goods were robbed, and they fell into the hands of the goblins.

This move was clearly a frame-up, and some people were certain that the Branson family did not dare to openly investigate the missing goods.

Xia Dai'er's brother is currently running for a seat in parliament. Smuggling arcane artifacts, a sensitive and serious crime, will directly ruin his political career. Without official help, how long will it take for the family to find this goblin cave hidden underground?
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the cave.

Catherine's eyes flashed, and she struggled to get up and stood in front of Xia Dai'er.

Even if he was seriously injured, he could still deal with one or two goblins. After all, he still had his other hand to use.

But it wasn't a goblin who walked in.

But a man.

He held a piece of glowing vine and used the light to see Catherine's feverishly red face, the sweat on her forehead, her slightly rapid breathing, and her trembling body. He couldn't help but sigh in pity.

"Oh my god, the goblins are really ruthless. The Young Pioneers who are sworn enemies of gambling and drugs are here to save you!!!"
