Interspecies Training Manual

The goblins, their bodies hunched over, their fangs stained with fresh blood, were feeding around the stag they had just hunted.

A slightly larger goblin tore off the hind leg of a male deer and began gnawing on the bloody, tender flesh.

Two other goblins, slightly smaller in size, crouched on either side of the deer.

One was gnawing on the front leg, while the other stuck its head into the deer's belly, took out the internal organs and stuffed them into its mouth, making "gurgling" swallowing sounds in its throat.

They were completely unaware that they had become the subjects of observation.

Luo An looked very carefully, not missing a single detail.

Although Celia felt disgusted by the way these monsters ate, she forced herself to endure the discomfort and memorized their movements.

"Their legs are shorter and slightly bent, their center of gravity leans forward when they walk, their arms are long, and the curvature of their spine is completely different from that of humans."

Luo An muttered to himself.

These overlooked details were the root of the problems during previous failures.

Just then, the goblin that was gnawing on its hind leg suddenly looked up, its murky eyes sweeping over them.

The two instantly prepared to fight.

But the goblin just burped and lowered its head to continue tearing at its prey.

Time slowly passed.

The three goblins, their bellies round and full, licked the blood off their paws, still wanting more.

They lazily walked to the shade of the trees and lay down to rest.

Soon after, heavy snoring began.

After observing for a long time, Roan raised his hand and grasped the three goblins.

Three magical binding rings formed, tightly binding the goblin.

The snoring stopped abruptly.

The three goblins awoke with a start, letting out strange cries and writhing in an attempt to break free, but to no avail.

Roan and Celia walked out of the forest and knelt down in front of the goblin.

He touched the goblin's rough skin, feeling the unevenness of the bones beneath, and explored it from head to toe.

Celia also observed very carefully, and after trying it herself, she noticed many differences in the goblins.

The three goblins, being manipulated like this, showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

These two people didn't kill them, nor did they hit them; instead, they were...touching them?

"Master, I've remembered everything."

After a long time, once she had thoroughly understood the goblin's physique and skeletal structure, Celia decided to try transforming herself.

A magical aura emanated from her, enveloping her slender figure.

When the halo faded, the one standing there was no longer the silver-haired, pointy-eared elf girl, but a goblin that was very common in the forest.

The green skin, hunched back, disproportionate limbs, pointed ears, and yellowish fangs are all perfectly replicated.

Celia tried taking two steps, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes.

Goblins have short, crooked legs. When they walk, they hunch their backs, swing their arms, and stretch their heads forward, making each step feel awkward.

She walked unsteadily, muttering softly with her head down, "Master, this way of walking is so...so ugly."

Luo An couldn't help but laugh when he saw her frozen in place, looking shy.

Celia is usually quiet and reserved, so it's quite a feat to get her to imitate a goblin's walk without any regard for her image.

He then used his transformation magic to become a goblin slightly larger than Seria.

Luo An wasn't shy at all. He naturally hunched his back, swung his long arms, and even let out a rough roar, his demeanor and movements indistinguishable from a real goblin.

He walked up to Celia and encouraged her, "Don't be embarrassed, you're a goblin now, not Celia."

"Now that you've become a goblin, don't think about anything else. The more unnatural you are, the easier it will be to expose yourself."

As he spoke, Roan demonstrated to Celia the goblin's walking, weapon-waving, and baring teeth in a show of defiance, imitating every detail perfectly.

Seeing her master so serious, Celia patted her face, suppressing the shyness in her heart.

She learned from her master, relaxing her body and gradually mimicking the goblin's walking posture, from stiffness and awkwardness at the beginning to naturalness and fluidity.

Luo An watched from the side, a smile playing on his lips.

Celia's "I'm so embarrassed but I'm still trying to learn" attitude is really cute.

She paced back and forth in the open space several times, even baring her teeth at Roan. Although the tips of her ears were faintly pink, her actions and demeanor were no different from those of a real goblin.

"Master, look!"

Celia let out a small goblin cry at her master, a sense of accomplishment on her face.

"That's impressive."

Luo An praised him.

Once the two had fully mastered the goblin's transformation, they deactivated the transformation and returned to their original forms.

"If you just think of yourself as a goblin, transforming is actually quite simple."

Roan was delighted to have mastered the transformation magic in just one day.

In this way, he could transform into a goblin and infiltrate the area on the day of the harvest.

The two walked out of the forest along the path they had come from.

"Owner."

Celia suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"I had a lot of fun learning magic with my master today."

Trust level +5%

......

We had just returned to the farm after leaving the edge of the forest.

Luo An then saw a dark mass of figures appear at the end of his line of sight.

At the front were two men wearing silver armor.

He recognized the man on the left; it was Lord Brian.

The man on the right was about the same age as Brian, wearing a gray suit of armor with some kind of emblem engraved on his chest, which looked like the crest of a family.

Stevin, also dressed in armor, followed half a position behind the two.

Further behind were a dense mass of black-armored guards, each wielding a weapon and with a solemn expression.

This scale is definitely not an ordinary inspection; it is preparation for war.

"Greetings, Your Lordship!"

As a resident of the territory, Roan was unhappy with Brian, but he still had to do what he had to do.

Brian paused briefly and nodded slightly.

"Luo An, I deeply apologize for the rude behavior my good-for-nothing son has shown you."

"My lord, you flatter me. I am very grateful for your concern."

Luo An quickly replied.

Brian didn't say anything more and continued riding forward.

Stevin paused briefly and said to Roan, "Lord, join forces with the lord of the neighboring territory to set up camp in the forest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will launch a full-scale siege against the goblin tribe in the forest."

"I have already notified the other farmers that you should stay on the farm for the next few days and not go into the forest."

"Once the lord finishes his campaign against the goblins, the monster scourge in this area will be completely eradicated, and our farm will no longer be under serious threat."

Luo An feigned joy and began to flatter him.

"Great! Being able to eliminate the surrounding monsters is fantastic news for us!"

"Your Lordship is wise!"

The large and orderly procession gradually moved into the distance and entered the forest.

Watching the group disappear into the night, Luo An turned and went back.

As he expected, after the deaths of the two lords' sons, Brian approached the lords of neighboring regions and joined forces to take action against the goblin tribe.

He had roughly estimated the number of guards as they walked past.

The two lords brought at least three thousand guards this time, which should be enough to deal with a large goblin tribe.

Luo An hoped that this encirclement and suppression operation would go smoothly.

That goblin chieftain, who harbors intense hatred for humans, cannot be allowed to live.
