Hearing Niu Zida praise Lilulu so highly, Misato Shizuku snorted coldly. As the maid of the elite goblin who produced the most offspring, she had always been proud of her "prolific womb." Now, Lilulu had suddenly caught up with her, especially since it was her first pregnancy. For a competitive, long-haired beauty like Misato, it was impossible not to feel something. However, Lilulu had only been with the family for a short time and was usually quite docile, so Misato Shizuku couldn't really find anything wrong with her.
"Master, you should go and check on Miss Lilulu."
Joel interrupted Niu Zida while holding him, actually because he had already noticed that Sanxiang Shizuku's expression was not right, and he wanted to tell Niu Zida not to say too much about this issue, otherwise he would upset Sanxiang Shizuku again.
"Yes, you're right. I'm going to go see Lilulu."
Overjoyed, Niu Zida was carried by Joel to see Lilulu. The blonde beauty, weak after giving birth, lay in bed. When she saw Niu Zida enter, she managed a weak smile.
"Owner……"
"You should lie down and rest. I didn't expect that two elite goblins would be born all at once. You deserve a lot of credit, and I'm going to reward you handsomely."
"where."
Hearing Niu Zida say that, Misato Shizuku couldn't help but snort in dissatisfaction and said:
"Master, shouldn't you try and see what the goblin priests are all about?"
"Yes, Miss Misato Shizuku is right. Master should wait until the goblin ritual is complete before trying to see what it has to offer."
Chapter 77
Let's talk about it when we're not capable.
Aponia, on the other hand, echoed the dissatisfaction in Shizuku Misato's tone and also advised Ushio. Seritina and Amelie, however, seemed indifferent. In any case, they were all keeping an eye on each other. As long as they prevented each other's influence in the territory from expanding, they did not have a direct competitive relationship with others in the harem.
A few more days passed, and Amelie and Seritina both gave birth. Joel was pregnant and couldn't come today, and Shizuku had just given birth, so Niu Zida had Aponia carry him to the outskirts of the city. Together with Lilulu, they brought the two newly matured goblin priests to test the abilities of these two elite goblins outside the city.
"Well, since you're goblin priests, your combat abilities might not be outstanding. How about we try magic? What kind of magic do you know?"
"So what skills do you guys have? Can you break a bottle and let me see?"
"So what special abilities do you have? Can you do a backflip or something?"
Hearing the series of commands, the two goblin priests looked at each other blankly, seemingly not understanding Niu Zida's orders, and stood there dumbfounded. Misato Shizuku, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle sarcastically:
"Are they two idiots born from Miss Lilulu? Oh no, goblins are idiots to begin with."
This time, Shizuku Misato was also dragged into the insult, while Ushikota was speechless, his face flushing red and then pale with embarrassment. Lilulu, standing to the side, looked at the two goblin priests she had given birth to and could do nothing, and lowered her head in shame, apologizing.
"I'm sorry, Master... It's all my fault..."
"It's nothing, there are always exceptions to everything."
Seeing the beautiful maid apologize like that, Tatsuya Ushiko softened and quickly comforted her. Seeing this, Shizuku Misato felt even more jealous of Riruru, who received her master's favor…
Chapter 73 Goblin Priesthood 2
Chapter Seventy-Three.
"The behavior of these two goblins is indeed very strange."
While playing with Aponia's large snowball, Niu Zida comforted Lilulu. Actually, he was the most anxious one. He'd finally spawned two elite goblins, only to have them do nothing—this was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. Aponia, however, after observing the two goblin priests for a while, suddenly said to Niu Zida:
"The master mentioned that their stats say they're Goblin Priest Enhancement Type. Could it be that their skills are some kind of buff that enhances certain things, so they don't have any effect on me if I just look at them?"
Aponia's words reminded Niu Zida that, after all, the goblin lightning element shaman she was born into was not a pure front-line combat type. In particular, the lightning element shaman has not yet shown any lightning element skills in actual combat. It can only help command goblins as a shaman. This is very useful for Niu Zida when he is not around.
"what do you mean?"
“What I mean is, why don’t we let these goblin priests be with the other goblins and see what kind of help they can provide? Maybe they are more suitable to command ordinary goblins. After all, I was born a lightning element shaman, and I should be an offensive mage.”
Aponia had no intention of vying for favor; she simply stated the pros and cons of the goblins she had given birth to. Niu Zida thought about it and agreed with Aponia's opinion, deciding to observe first.
"Yes, Aponia's wife is right. Let's try finding a goblin instead."
Niu Zida then had several goblins brought before him. The two goblin priests became excited upon seeing their kind. The goblins began chattering excitedly. Although he possessed the ability to understand all goblin languages, these goblins spoke too fast, their speech was so rapid that even Niu Zida could hardly understand them, only sensing that they sounded like incantations or something similar.
"Master, it seems these goblins are just as stupid as you."
Seeing the goblins chattering away, Misato Shizuku couldn't help but mock Ushiko Tatsumi, which angered him so much that he had Aponia carry him over, grabbed Misato Shizuku's large breasts, pinched them hard, and laughed while scolding her:
"Shizuku Misato, you really do favor me today."
"Ah...it's because my master is such a pervert. Just having him stand next to me makes me feel bad."
Just as Niu Zida and Sanxiang Shizuku were flirting, the two goblin priests over there seemed to have completed some kind of ritual. They suddenly left the goblins and stood at a distance, while the goblins suddenly became ferocious, their bodies glowing red, and they made hoarse shouts.
Just as Niu Zida was wondering if the goblins were sick, the red light on their bodies suddenly intensified and became somewhat dazzling. After the eerie red light flickered for a while, the goblins' bodies seemed to grow taller instantly. They were originally only seventy or eighty centimeters tall, but now they had grown into giants over two meters tall!
"How is this going?"
Niu Zida was so surprised by the change that he couldn't close his mouth. Not only him, but the other maids were also surprised by the scene. The two goblin priests, on the other hand, were happily dancing and singing as if they were celebrating something. It seemed that the goblins' sudden growth was intentional.
"I never expected it could actually grow bigger."
Aponia hugged Niu Zida and sighed, which finally brought Niu Zida out of his shock.
Chapter 78
Zhong pulled back and saw that the originally short goblin had suddenly become so tall that Niu Zida's speech became somewhat stammering:
"So...so that's what enhanced form means?"
"Is it really possible to grow that tall? Will strength and other attributes change as well?"
Shizuku Misato also raised a question in shock, but she didn't want to admit that Rirulu's belly was bigger than hers, so she asked a question that was indeed reasonable. Even if someone suddenly grew taller, it wouldn't be of much use if their strength didn't change.
Niu Zida then had the enlarged goblins test their strength by lifting the earthen blocks used to build the city wall. Each goblin was at least as strong as five or six adult men, effortlessly carrying the loads that several men could lift on their shoulders and moving faster than several men. This left even Sanxiang Shizuku speechless.
"As expected, my Lilulu's belly is really capable, it can actually give birth to such a powerful elite goblin."
Niu Zida excitedly leaned over and kissed Lilulu's fair face. With this goblin priest as an enhancement, his short goblins had increased in size and strength. Wouldn't that make them able to contend with regular human troops even on the front lines?
Lilulu stood there, blushing with embarrassment. Just then, Aponia noticed something was wrong. After observing the goblins carefully for a while, she said to Niu Zida:
"However, Master, these enhanced goblins seem a bit off."
"Well, what happened?"
Still immersed in joy, Niu Zida was playing with Lilulu's Daiyukiko and discussing plans to have more babies with the beautiful girl when Aponia suddenly reminded her master:
"Master, look."
Following Aponia's words, Niu Zi looked over and discovered that the enhanced goblins, after being full of energy for a while, suddenly became listless, and then slowly began to pant heavily, sweating profusely. About 15 minutes after becoming stronger, all of these enhanced goblins were sitting on the ground, and after another minute or two, all of them were lifeless and died.
"Huh? What's going on now?"
Today's events left Niu Zida speechless. Seeing the goblin, who had just been incredibly strong and enhanced, die after only a dozen minutes of activity, Niu Zida was so shocked that he leaned on Aponia's shoulder.
Misato Shizuku, standing to the side, fell silent. The clever girl had already guessed that this was probably the consequence of the enhancement. If she continued to be sarcastic at this point, it would only provoke Niu Zida to shift his anger. It was better to let Niu Zida ask Lilulu himself. She would just watch from the sidelines. She wouldn't put on that kind of mindless palace intrigue drama where everyone targets one person.
"Owner……"
Lilulu was already starting to panic and was about to apologize when Aponia interrupted her:
"Master, it seems that the goblin enhancement buff relies on burning the life force of the goblin itself..."
Chapter 74 Goblin Priesthood 3
Chapter 74.
Aponia's words revealed the truth, and Niu Zida suddenly realized that there is indeed no free lunch in the world. It is not normal for a short goblin to suddenly become incredibly strong and tall. It is impossible to do so without paying some price.
“Yes, Aponia makes a good point, but this approach is still meaningful. If we need to launch a surprise attack on the enemy in the future, we can strengthen a group of goblins as a suicide squad to charge forward.”
"Master, I'm wondering if we can control the rate at which they burn their life force to delay their death? We don't need to make them so powerful. Just now, these goblins' strength was at least several times that of humans. Could we make them a little shorter, around 1.7 meters tall, and only slightly stronger than humans? Would that delay the burning goblins' lifespan? It would allow them to stay active for longer and complete more combat missions."
Aponia's words reminded Niu Zida, who then directly ordered the two goblin priests to ask if they could control the magnitude of the enhancement to prevent delaying the burning time of the goblins' lives after the buff.
As expected, after the exchange, it turned out that Aponia had guessed that the enhancement level could indeed be controlled. These goblins' intelligence level was indeed lacking. If Aponia hadn't discovered the problem, these two goblin priests would have been too foolish to communicate with Niu Zida about the effect. Niu Zida had to ask them himself and explain it several times before they could explain it clearly.
Next, Niu Zida brought over a few more goblins and ordered them to give the goblins a buff, just as Aponia had instructed. The two goblin priests followed Niu Zida's instructions and gave the goblins the buff again. This time, just as Niu Zida had said, the goblins grew to about 1.7 meters tall, and their strength was about the same as that of an adult.
Niu Zida carefully observed the enhanced goblins to see how long they could last. This time, the goblins lasted for a long time, at least an hour, and there were no problems at all. It seems that as long as the enhancement level is controlled, this enhancement buff can be used as a regular weapon.
After observing for about an hour, the goblins began to show signs of exhaustion and started dying one after another. Although seven or eight goblins were lost in the two groups used as test subjects, it was all worth it. Now he could have a large number of regular goblin troops to fight against the human regular army in a short period of time. However, this tactic could only be used occasionally, since the precious goblins he had spawned could only be used once in this way.
"Let's try another test. This time, we'll only strengthen the goblin to about 1.6 meters tall, and then try controlling its strength to about 70-80% of an adult's."
Perhaps unsure of the precision of such control, the two goblin priests chattered amongst themselves for a while. Niu Zida overheard them and the gist of it was that he didn't know how far these two goblin priests could go with such precise control.
"Go ahead and start, I won't blame you even if you fail."
Five or six more goblins were brought in as test subjects. The two goblin priests reluctantly followed Niu Zida's orders and applied the buff again. The two goblin priests were also sweating profusely, and it seemed that frequently applying such buffs was a huge drain on their stamina.
Goblins mature very quickly, reaching adulthood in about a week. However, this rapid maturation comes at the cost of a relatively short lifespan. A typical goblin lives for about 15 years, and living to 20 years is considered a long life. This strategy of rapid birth and death prevents an overabundance of aging goblins from crowding out resources, while their high fertility allows them to reproduce rapidly.
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that goblins have the lowest physical strength and intelligence among all the "races with a certain level of intelligence", even worse than the reckless and brutal orcs. Because of their short lifespan, they are also not conducive to the transmission of knowledge. Therefore, the level of civilization of goblins is also rated as the lowest among all races on the continent, probably only slightly better than livestock.
Now with the buff, the goblins' weakness of low stamina has been completely compensated for. As for burning lifespan, goblins don't live long anyway, so burning a little bit is fine. This at least gives Niu Zida the ability to instantly mass produce troops and launch surprise attacks, instead of just resorting to ambushes and exploiting the opponent's underestimation of him and information gaps as before. This might work for small territories, but if he encounters a powerful lord in the future, tricks and schemes will be useless in the face of absolute strength. Even if he takes Dore City and defeats the expeditionary force in a winning streak, Niu Zida knows that he still needs to strengthen his fundamental strength.
"Master, it seems this will last for quite a while."
"Well, let these goblins stay here and observe. They can come back to me when they have results."
Niu Zida watched for a while and found that the third batch of goblins had been operating without incident for quite some time. So he left others to observe the situation while he led his men back. The two goblin priests were also with the elite goblins. Niu Zida had specially built the elite goblins' residence inside the barbican as the center for goblin command. This way, even if an accident occurred in the future and the castle could not contact the barbican, the elite goblins could command the ordinary goblins to take over the city's defenses.
"Lilulu's belly is really working hard. I didn't expect her to give birth to such a useful elite-level goblin on her first birth."
Back in the castle, Niu Zida specially praised Lilulu in front of all the maids. This time, even Misato Shizuku couldn't say anything. After all, she wasn't an unreasonable woman and knew what the significance of this enhancement buff was for future battles. So even though she was still unconvinced, she didn't pursue the matter any further.
"Not at all, Master, you flatter me."
Lilulu was a little embarrassed by the praise and lowered her head. At this moment, Niu Zida had already been pulled away by Aponia, who stroked the blonde beauty's long, silky golden hair and lewdly kneaded her large, snowy hair, saying:
"Since Lilulu's belly is so cooperative, shall we continue trying to have more babies?"
"Well then, please be gentle, Master."
Lilulu obediently raised her head, squinted her beautiful eyes, and gave a fawning smile. Then she took Niu Zida into her arms, kissed him, and the two went to the inner room together. Soon, the maids outside could hear Lilulu's moans of pleasure mixed with humiliation and pleas for mercy coming from inside the room...
Chapter Seventy-Five Crisis
Chapter Seventy-Five.
Once inside the room, Niu Zida made Lilulu, wearing white stockings, bend over with her hands on her knees, her snow-white, pert buttocks sticking out. He then rode on the stirrups and thrust into her forcefully, quickly causing the cute, long-haired blonde maid to beg for mercy. Finally, she and Niu Zida reached their climax together...
But this was only the first time; a series of fierce storms followed...
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally finished their long battle. The room was filled with rapid breathing. Niu Zida could rest on Lilulu's beautiful back, comfortably playing with her large breasts. Lilulu was so tired that her skin was soaked with fragrant sweat and turned rosy. She looked exhausted, her white hair was soft, and she could only support herself on her knees to avoid falling.
Once Niu Zida had rested enough, Lilulu was finally allowed to pick him up again, and the two of them went to bed to rest.
"Lilulu, you're sure you'll get pregnant this time, right?"
"It must be that deep, right? Isn't Master's marksmanship always very accurate?"
Stroking the beautiful girl's flat stomach, Niu Zida began to imagine how many more goblin priests he could obtain in the future.
Just as Niu Zida and Li Lulu were embracing and whispering sweet nothings in bed...
Chapter 80
Then, Aponia's voice came from outside:
"Master, the experiment results are in. This time it lasted for 10 hours."
"Oh? Has it been that long already?"
Niu Zida had been playing with Lilulu almost the entire time and hadn't even noticed how much time had passed outside. It was already late at night. It seemed that Aponia had been keeping a close eye on the results of the experiment for him.
"Aponia, come in."
After receiving permission from her master, Aponia entered. In just half a day, Aponia's belly had already begun to swell slightly, a result of Niu Zida's actions two days ago. It seemed that Aponia would be able to give birth in a few more days.
"Master, it seems that the experiment was quite successful. Several goblins were able to maintain their lifespan for 10 hours."
"However, this experiment also resulted in the loss of more than ten goblins."
After all, they were his own children, and Niu Zida was still a little reluctant to part with them. After Aponia got close enough to kiss Niu Zida, she said:
"It's alright, Master, losses can always be made up for."
Upon hearing the beautiful woman's words, Niu Zida suddenly pulled Aponia over and made her crawl on the bed like a dog, then lewdly said to himself:
“Aponia, you’re right. Let’s make up for the losses now.”
