Chapter 30: Goblin Fashion
"I got a magic dagger." Dominic offered while taking it out of his storage cube to show the team leader.
"Not bad. We can always use more magical weapons. How do you feel about a trade?" The team leader asked.
"A trade?"
"Yeah, I got an armour drop, but it is only really good for ladies or magic types. It's also a common magic item, so the values are equivalent, but I see that you're using ordinary armour with an excellent magical dagger and sword." He offered.
"I would feel better with some magic armour, even if the drops from the Goblins tend to look pretty shabby." Dominic chuckled as he handed him the dagger.
"You're right about that. The monster blessing does have a strange sense of aesthetics when it comes to Goblin dropped loot. If we were a bit higher level, we could head out into the hills and join the guards there, but level ten on both your primary attack and defence gems is the minimum, since they get level twelve and fifteen ogre clans.
You might be fast enough to run off, but at our level as warriors, we would just get squished." One of the guards laughed.
Dominic smiled at them and shrugged. "It's a gift. Unlike the warriors who solve everything with brute strength, I'm much happier when things die WAY over there."
The guard laughed as he passed over the pile of cloth, which Dominic examined carefully to see if it was going to be worth equipping. The Guard had said it was mostly for women and mages, which was a touch insulting. But he was a magic user from their point of view.
