Reincarnated as a rodent!WTF!!!

Utal walked into the tent with two hobgoblins "My friend you said the dungeon appeared in your cave" he narrowed his eyes

'Those guys are D-Rank' Vice nodded his head

"Good then you'll teleport outside then one of them will come inside to tell us if it's safe, you understand right?" Utal smiled

"Yes but can any of them read and write" Vice looked at the two hobgoblin behind Utal standing at exit

"Why is that important my friend?" Utal eyes glowed as Vice stood up "because every time, I use my skill it cools down"

He walked to Utal "I don't want to be bored when I'm with your people" he smiled as he looked into Utal eyes "I want to learn about the greatness of your culture"

Utal looked back at the hobgoblins "I believe we could be great friends, If I learn about your culture while I help you find your way home" Vice and Utal stared at each other

"I'll come back my friend" he turned to the exit and pushed the hobgoblins out

Vice went back to the center of the tent and sat down in the reddish dark light waiting as the wind brew gently on the curtain

Utal returned with a hobgoblin and an ogre "my friend this Uza" the hobgoblin stepped forward "he can teach you how to write in our tongue, he used to a teach at.."

"I trust you the is no need to explain yourself" Vice stood up "I will leave with them immediately"

He walked past Utal to Uza and the ogre "put your hands on my shoulder" they looked at Utal and Utal nodded in response

'I hope this works' Vice went to the dungeon system and pressed temporary exit

[Exit rat domain(Y/N)]

[Exit goblin prison(Y/N)]

He pressed yes on the Exit goblin prison as he smiled at Utal then reappeared in a cave with vines on the wall

He turned to the two who were behind him, they kept looking around the cave

"I will go bring my friend" he looked at Uza "I want to you to teach him"

He looked at the ogre "since we are all friends, you can freely explore my home" they nodded

Vice looked at the map as he walked to the light at the exit 'I can't let anyone among the ratman learn human language'

The small rocks clattered down the slope as he climbed down 'if they can communicate the humans, they might negotiate a peace deal behind my back'

The dot on the map was approaching the mountain

A leaf fell on his shoulder as he stood against a tree waiting for Gordon 'but the problem is the goblins and ogres'

He heard footsteps approaching through the rustling of leaves 'they can understand each other and they might discuss peace deal in the future'

"Gordon are you done exploring the forest?" He smiled as he looked approaching silhouette approaching

"Yes" Gordon spoke as he looked down on Vice

"Good, today you will be learning how to read and write" Vice looked up

Gordon nodded, Vice turned around and walked up the slope "you will be learning from our enemies"

"the goblins entered this place and they want the women and children" Vice looked back as Gordon stopped climbing

"Then why I'm learning from them?" Gordons hands balled

Vice smirked momentarily "because we need to learn about our enemies, to have a chance of defeating them" he climbed down to Gordon "this means we learn their language, culture and style of living"

He grabbed Gordon's shoulder "but we will never forget that they are our enemies, for time being pretend to be friendly with them but" his voice deepened "never forget they want the women and children, always remember that"

He patted Gordon on the shoulder and climbed up the slope, Gordon looked at the ground as they climbed he seemed to be thinking about something

"Uza this is my friend Gordon, you will teach him everything you can" Vice saw Uza alone in the cave in front of the portal

"Did your friend leave" Vice walked to Uza

"Yes he had to report back" Uza spoke with an awkward smile under his pointy green noise

"I'll see him in one week for now lets focus on learning" Uza eyes widened

"One week?" He abruptly spoke "your skill is only supposed to take a few days for the cool down to end"

"I never said such a thing" Vice sat on the dirt "and usually it does but this time its different, I don't know why but something is strange about that dungeon"

"Instead of wasting time fighting, let's learn" Uza clenched his jaw as looked at Vice smiling face

He sat down and started writing on the dirt while Gordon crouched and listened

*********

"Sir that ratman was speaking the truth" the ogre stood in the tent with his chest out "the dungeon gate somehow moved to his cave"

"That should not be possible" Utal mumbled 'if he wasn't lying my hostility toward him was unwarranted'

Utal looked at the ogre "we should be grateful that the is someone who is willing to help us, tell the man that the ratman is our friend" Ogre walked out of the tent and Utal sat down

'I hope the captain finds us soon' Utal closed his eyes in the lotus pose and started to meditat

**********

"Captain the only thing useful we found is this garment" A man with a long pointy nose and green skine wearing heavy armour showed the cloth to Lucy

'That belongs to that wanderer' she took the cloth and looked at the blood 'those criminal scums are now forcing me to work overtime' she clenched her hand

"Take this to a blood mage and tell them to track who ever that blood belongs to" she gave the cloth the hobgoblin then looked at the others

"Everyone look for any wanderer you can find, if they have any useful information bring them to the city, if they don't kill them with out any remorse" her green eyes turn black as her mana rose
