BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24 Goblin Subjugation?
Aizel inspected himself and discovered that all of his injuries from the fight had mysteriously healed. He didn\'t even feel tired; rather, he felt relaxed and energized.
"Who the hell formed these ruins? They must be extremely strong," Aizel thought while getting excited to discover all that this world has to offer.
"So you got armor, and what was your trial?" His gaze was drawn to Alisha\'s light blue leather armor.
"I had to face a single Rocky gorilla instead of wolves. They have a rock-like body and power, but they move at a snail\'s pace. Being an archer, it was simple for me to kite* him down slowly." Alisha responded while spinning 360 degrees to show every bit of her armor.
"Well, it\'s almost evening, so we should go back to town." Aizel nodded in agreement as Alisha spoke.
He had no choice but to meet Daisy and learn more about the magical core, its strength, and its application with mana.
Both Alisha and Aizel returned to the carriage, which was not far from the waterfall valley. The sun was setting, and the yellow flowers in the field were turning white. (Look in chapter 21 for a yellow flower field or more details.)
It was a magical feeling as they strolled and the blossoms gradually turned white. They arrived at the carriage and discovered Alex sleeping.
"Oye, Alex, let\'s go!" Alisha yelled in Alex\'s ear, rousing him from his slumber.
"Oh, you guys are back. I had such a lovely dream—I slayed a dragon in my dream. Only if I can achieve it in real life," Alex sighed as he prepared the carriage to go.
For a brief moment, Aizel\'s eyes twinkled. " So there are dragons in this world, which I kind of expected when I saw the wyvern, and I can\'t wait to fight one."
Alisha noticed something and said, "If you are thinking of fighting a dragon, let me tell you that you must be at least a Grade V mage to even stand a chance."
Aizel looked at her for a second before nodding. His attention was drawn to the word "Grade V mage."
"So there are different levels of mages. So, which was Larisa\'s grade, and the wyvern?" Once the carriage began to journey back to town, Aizel began to ponder.

Meanwhile in Chester Town, Hunters guild.
Lucas and Harry were drinking beers while sitting at a table with another group of hunters.
"So are you guys joining the goblin subjugation, which is assigned by the Rosewell family?" One of the hunters inquired of Lucas, while Harry waited for his response.
They have been deciding for a week whether their team should go or not. Despite the risk, the benefits and money are too good to pass up in the end.
"We\'re still deciding; we need to talk to Alisha about it." Although Harry sighed, Lucas responded plainly.
They both stood up and walked out of the guild.
"Lucas, what I\'m thinking is that we should invite that person as well," Harry remarked, attempting to figure out how Lucas would react.
Lucas didn\'t say anything as they walked through the streets.
"I mean, you\'ve seen how strong he is; we\'d feel more secure in the task if he was on our squad. We can\'t afford to pass up this opportunity, Lucas."
Lucas turned towards Harry and said to him, "We have no idea who he is. Where did he come from? We can\'t put our trust in a stranger."
"We\'ll leave the decision to Alisha," Lucas stated and Harry nodded. He clearly cannot change his mind and can only hope that Alisha can.
While they were walking, they observed a particular duo step out from the carriage. They were none other than Aizel and Alisha.
Harry\'s lips curled upward as he approached the duo.
"Hey, big brother, I just wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday; we were just talking about you." Harry approached Aizel shamelessly, while Alisha gazed at Lucas, puzzled.
"It\'s not a problem," Aizel said, but he didn\'t speak as clearly; he wasn\'t comfortable with him yet.
"Let him alone, Harry; he needs to go somewhere." Alisha had seen that Aizel was a man of few words. She doesn\'t want to irritate him or make him angry with them.
"All well, see you later, big brother." Harry realized something and made a modest bow toward him. He needs to ask Alisha more about it.
"We\'ll go to the weapon shop tomorrow. Bye-bye." Alisha replied while waving her hand and going away with the group.
Aizel waved his hand in response, deciding it was time to meet Daisy and learn more about mana and magic.
"What was it, Harry? Why do you need to speak with him?" Alisha questioned Harry as the three of them moved away from Aizel.
"I simply wanted to include him in the goblin subjugation," Harry replied truthfully.
"Why would he help us?" Harry was questioned by Alisha.
"Aren\'t you his friend now? You\'ve been hanging out with him since yesterday; he won\'t reject you, right?" Harry asked while raising his eyebrow. He imagined that, until now, Aizel would have come close to Alisha.
"He is not like other men, and I don\'t think he will aid us if I ask him right now. He hasn\'t really trusted me yet." Alisha responded.
*Kiting: Kiting refers to keeping an opponent chasing you while simultaneously keeping it at a range where it cannot attack you. This approach is frequently used to more safely assault the opponent with a long-range attack or to confuse the enemy while others attack it.
