I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Hearing the commotion, Murphy told Xiao Mo to go back to the work area and wait.

He then went out first to greet the guests.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, he encountered an old acquaintance—the goblin named Goblu.

The healing potion Murphy received last time was purchased by this person.

Goblu entered the cave and suddenly felt a heavy magical force pressing down on him, giving him a vague feeling that he was getting stronger, which surprised him.

But before he could say anything more, he was stunned when he saw Murphy, who had shrunk considerably, walk out.

He couldn't help but wonder if the being in front of him was a descendant or apprentice of Murphy.

However, the stone hammer totem behind Murphy proved his identity.

Goblu could only say with a somewhat strange expression.

"Why have you become so small? Are you injured? Do you need help?"

Murphy waved his hand and explained.

"Abilities, small size... makes things easier to make."

Upon hearing this, Goblin nodded as if he understood, though he didn't know how Murphy had done it. However, he wasn't an ignorant goblin and didn't ask any further questions.

"What brings you here?"

Murphy's gaze gradually fell on the goblin squad outside the cave entrance and the bound humans.

"Oh, I mainly came to see you about two things."

Gobru didn't waste any words and turned to shout at the squad behind him.

"Bring the people and things in first."

Then he turned to Murphy and explained.

"The first thing we need to do is cultivate farmland and build some tools and equipment to produce more fertilizer."

After he finished speaking, he looked up and observed Murphy's expression.

Although Murphy had shrunk considerably, the goblin, being the height of a goblin, still saw Murphy as a small mountain.

Murphy nodded and stated his conditions.

"Do you still have the metal from last time? Bring that to exchange."

Seeing that Murphy had agreed, Goblin nodded excitedly, but after nodding, he hesitated and said:

"But we only brought two bags today. If you want more, we have another truckload over there, and we'll bring it all over for you next time."

Murphy nodded, then pointed to a few people in the distance and asked Goblin.

"What's going on?"

Although he is a stone man, he possesses the memories of a human craftsman.

So he actually considered himself as half a human being.

Fortunately, the species in the vicinity are all quite friendly to humans, and some even trade with them, so he doesn't have to worry about doing business with people he shouldn't be doing business with.

"Oh, we found those humans along the way. I was thinking of dragging them here so you could help treat their injuries!"

Fearing that Murphy would mistake him for someone who abuses humans, Gergolu quickly explained.

However, just as he was about to say something more, Condensed Bone swaggered in, carrying a bone knife.

"This place is really full of magic!" he exclaimed as soon as he entered the cave.

Then his gaze fell on Murphy.

First, his eyes widened slightly, then he burst into laughter.

"No wonder he's a stonemason! Even his size is smaller than others, no wonder he's so agile! Hahaha."

Sharp, piercing laughter echoed through the cave.

The other equally filthy and ugly goblins beside him also came up and joined in the laughter.

"Of course! How powerful could that old man, Gergobru, possibly be?"

"That's right, that's right."

Murphy: (－＿-)

Are these goblins mentally challenged?

He couldn't quite understand it, even though he looked like a 1.8-meter-tall stone man.

But the problem is, even if he's only 1.8 meters tall.

That's a stone man too.

Wouldn't it be easy to slap these goblins one by one?

What are these things showing off for?

Goblon, standing nearby, twitched his lips, chuckled sheepishly, and pointed apologetically to his head at Murphy:

"As you know, goblins aren't very bright."

Murphy didn't bother with the goblins who were showing off for no reason, and turned his gaze to the humans.

However, seemingly because Murphy ignored the cartilage, it had nothing better to do and started venting its frustrations on the humans.

When Murphy looked over, he saw that Bristle was about to take out a knife to cut a human.

……

Before entering the cave, the Firefly Adventure Team, which consisted of five humans, were talking to each other.

One of them was tall and slender, wearing a tattered magic robe that revealed large expanses of snow-white skin.

A woman who looked like a magician saw the cave entrance not far away and asked in a trembling voice, full of fear.

"What...what are they saying? They don't mean they want to..."

She didn't continue.

But the meaning is quite clear: what will happen to women who fall into the hands of goblins? It goes without saying.

Moreover, she was a beautiful and delicate magician.

"But judging from the one leading them, he doesn't seem like he's going to do that kind of thing, does he?"

Another woman, slightly smaller in stature, swallowed hard, glanced at Gegelu in front of her, and said tremblingly.

"...Hopefully this can be delayed a bit longer. My body has been mostly detoxified. In about two hours, I should be able to regain some mobility."

The knight, clad in heavy armor and wearing a helmet, spoke weakly.

"These goblins are clearly split into two groups. If this group doesn't attack us, what about the other group?"

The other male mage looked worried.

"The way they looked at me was disgusting."

The female mage shrank back, trying her best to cover up her exposed skin as completely as possible.

She could feel the lust and cruelty in the eyes of those filthy goblins as they looked at her.

"By the way, why did they bring us here?"

"The knight said."

The remaining member of the group, who resembled a ranger, spoke for the first time, and it was clear that he could vaguely understand some of the goblin language.

"It seems like he's going to see some kind of craftsman."

"A craftsman?" the knight asked, puzzled.

Then a stone man emerged from the depths of the cave, and Goblu quickly stepped forward and respectfully said something to the stone man.

"Huh? A stone man?" Everyone said with some surprise.

Then all eyes turned to the wandering swordsman.

Rather than believing that this guy, who is only 1.8 meters tall and looks like a novice stone man, is a craftsman.

They are more inclined to believe that the translation by Youxia was incorrect.

"No, I didn't mishear, that's what they said." The ranger immediately became anxious and quickly retorted.

However, before they could continue speaking...

The goblin squad then dragged them into the cave.

"What abundant magic!"

The female mage shuddered and spoke first.

"That's right!" another male mage quickly echoed, then looked at the knight.

"This magic seems to have been gathered together using a special device; perhaps that stone man really was some kind of craftsman."

"I told you I didn't mishear!" the ranger quickly explained loudly.

But before the ranger could offer any further explanation, the brittle boned figure approached from afar, his gaze slowly sweeping over the curvaceous female mage wrapped in a robe, before he curled his lip in disapproval.

Then the anger fell on the wandering swordsman who had just spoken loudly, and he cursed in dissatisfaction.

"You damned beast, what are you babbling about?"

Although no one understood what the goblin was saying, they could tell from its gaze and tone that it was clearly not something pleasant.

The ranger with the least injuries leaned forward slightly, shielding the others behind him.

When the cartilage saw that the people were not afraid but instead wanted to fight back, it became furious.

He kicked the ranger in the thigh.

The ranger clearly had no time to react and took a solid hit.

However, to his surprise, the goblin was incredibly strong.

With just one kick, his thigh bone was broken, and a section of bone splinter was exposed, white and sharp, outside his flesh.

"Oops!"

The wandering swordsman cried out in agony, clutching his thigh where bone fragments had pierced his skin, and collapsed to the ground.

Crispy Bone was very satisfied with the sight of the wandering knight.

It dared to show off to Murphy not entirely because it was mentally challenged... although that was part of the reason.

But more than anything, it is confident in its own strength!

About a few months ago.

It was originally just a skinny goblin, and its status in the tribe was not as high as it is now.

Until it ate a fruit.

After that, its physical condition improved by leaps and bounds.

It's even possible for one person to handle a mid-level stone golem.

That's why he dared to mock Murphy like that.

This stone golem of this size is clearly only at a beginner level, so it was handled casually.

If it hadn't known that Goblu also possessed a powerful weapon, it would have smashed that broken rock along with the old man long ago.

However, although we couldn't kill that old guy, but...

Enjoying the company of one or two humans is not a problem.

It chuckled wickedly, its gaze lingering on the two women without a second glance, and walked step by step toward the knight.

Yes, it's different from other goblins; it prefers males.
