How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World

46

Goblin gives generously

The inside of the extraction plant is a large space with a total of four floors.

Centered around the elliptic curve-shaped structure that filled the third floor, the first floor below had 12 ramps and holes through which ‘extracted extracts’ flowed.

On the second floor, there is an ant hell with a mortar-like structure.

On the third floor, there were handles that turned pillar-sized rods to grind the ‘extraction materials’ trapped in the ant hell.

Lastly, there is a hole on the 4th floor for taking out and throwing ‘materials’.

“Jenny, it’s been a while. Would you like to take a look?”

“Is that so?”

Jenny, along with the nuns inside the extraction plant, held on to one of the dozen or so handles.

“Ugh~ It smells fishy. I guess this year is a good harvest?”

“It’s fall harvest time. There will be thirty cartloads of those caught in the goblin trap.”

“I’ll pour out the next material!”

As soon as the words were heard from upstairs, goblins poured in.

About a dozen goblins screamed in pain all at once.

Sigh!

Geek! Geek!

Commonly known as the site of purification. In reality, it is a place where ‘materials’ are poured into the ‘extraction plant’ and extracted as ‘oil’.

“To put it simply, it means grinding up a goblin and extracting the oil.”

“Yes, younger brother Ray. Are the goblins here a special species? They have little flesh and a thick layer of fat. Outland goblins are famous for their high-quality oil.”

Jenny says that and spins the stick with the nuns.

Crushing and squeezing the blood and flesh of monsters at an extraction plant to obtain oil and meat is a traditional method of this region.

Bone meal mixed with ground meat becomes feed for raising livestock healthily, and oil obtained by crushing fat is used for various purposes.

“Try it well~”

“Try it well~”

“Goblins, everyone~ Take care~”

Exciting rhythm.

Singing work songs together increases work efficiency.

“I worked it out frugally~”

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

“Offer it to our savior Solterra~”

Geek! Turn it off!

The nuns turn the knob with lively smiles, whether the goblins scream or not.

There is no forgiveness for the enemies of humanity.

Only death!

Although the Church of the Sun listens to even serious criminals, they have no forgiveness whatsoever towards monsters.

Among them, goblins and orcs have been the great enemies of the world since the beginning of human history.

They know how to use tools like humans, and their reproductive capacity is superior to that of humans.

Moreover, no matter how much we eradicate them, they are a vicious group of evil people who emerge from somewhere like cockroaches and commit rape, arson, and massacre.

The church’s doctrine also stipulates that catching and slaying these monsters is a just thing.

Of course, watching the real-time Goblin Extra Virgin Oil Mortar Pressing Show in front of you is a different matter.

“This is crazy…”

Aaron trembled as if he had seen something terrible.

However, Ophelia and Henry, who were watching this, shared different emotions from Aaron.

“Wow, this reminds me of the old days. Ratmen lived near our monastery, and we used to drown them by trapping them in large rat traps.”

He said that struggling in the mortar was just like ratmen struggling in a puddle and helped him turn the stick.

“Krrrr! Ray! Look at that! The barbarity of beating up your own people so that you can survive in that cramped mortar! Don’t you think you should harbor such venom because you were born poor? Ohhohohohohohohoho!!”

Yes, Ophelia is the daughter of the Northern Margrave who fought barbarians and monsters.

Aaron wanted to share with someone the feeling that this situation is so terrible.

“ray······.”

Aaron’s gaze demands empathy.

Despite those expectations, Ray grinned as he placed his hand on Aaron’s shoulder.

“This is the average of the world.”

“No. Absolutely not.”

“Heh. Damn I believed in the Middle Ages!”

Ray joined the group turning the mortar.

(Recommended BGM: Messengers of light, hurry and go)

“Messengers of light! Go quickly! Let’s defeat the darkness!”

“No, brother Lee, did you suddenly start singing?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. Ray’s younger brother is like that.”

“Shine the light of the gospel to the people who do not know the truth of the Lord!”

“Messengers of light! Let the light of the gospel shine!”

“Dark night of sin! Shine brightly! Messengers of light!!”

“You who destroy monsters are the messengers of Solterra, the savior!”

“”Estella!!””

“Messengers of light! Shine the light of the gospel!”

“······.”

Aaron desperately wanted to deny what was happening before his eyes.

Kiyi, kkii!

“Can’t you just shut your filthy mouth, you evil beasts!”

New goblins poured in along with the sound of whips heard from the fourth floor.

Goblin oil from the Outland region was a more famous specialty than expected.

Blood also contains oil, so if you filter and process it a little, you can extract a large amount of oil and use it, and if you go through a hygienic processing process, there is no problem.

The problem is that since they are monsters in name and appearance, it is not profitable to hunt them to extract oil, but the abundance of adventurers in Outland solved this problem.

If it increases, something like the Goblin Stampede may occur, so you have to catch it in advance, but it was a perfect target for new adventurers to make a little money.

Although it would not be of much use here in the hot western region, in the countryside where Ray lived, leather, if tanned, became suitable winter clothing in the winter.

“This is a goblin who gives generously.”

“Uuuk…!”

Aaron was not happy with the massacre that occurred at the goblin extraction plant, so he could not hold out for long and escaped.

Of course, Jenny isn’t going to miss that.

“Maybe because he’s from a noble family, he’s got a weak stomach. The man’s stomach is so weak, so what can he use it for?”

“······noisy.”

It was true that he couldn’t hold on and ran out, so Aaron had nothing to say.

“Wow…”

Aaron keeps nagging, probably because the smell still lingers. Jenny seemed a little sad to see that and patted his back.

“Well, if it’s your first time, you can do that. If it’s really hard, do you want to do something else?”

“······Please.”

When Jenny went to Director Maria and told her the situation, Director Maria nodded and understood.

“I understand, brother. It will be hard for first timers.”

“Ah, I’m fine. Purifying the evil monsters was a time filled with Solterra’s grace.”

“Ray, please shut up…”

Director Maria grinned and quietly looked at Ray and the others.

“There are still a lot of labor shortages here and there. It’s the harvest festival soon.”

Director Maria agreed that five people would not be needed in one place, so they should be deployed in the right places.

“If it’s about selling dungeon cores, I think we can help.”

Director Maria shook her head at Ray’s words.

“It is difficult to entrust this work to someone without specialized knowledge as it involves selling a building that has already been built. Our sisters are also experienced in construction, so please entrust it to us.”

Well, basically monasteries have to solve everything themselves.

Therefore, religious monks and nuns are bound to be almost omnipotent in everything from farming to architecture, animal husbandry, cooking, and medical care.

“Brothers and sisters, please stay at home and lend a hand. While we are talking, how about taking a look at the facilities that our convent boasts?”

“If you do, we would be grateful.”

Of course, I had no intention of eating and living for free, so I was planning to help out.

However, Aaron thought he would not be able to extract goblins.

“Jenny, please let the brothers take a look.”

“Yes, director~”

Jenny excitedly led Ray’s group to visit her parents’ house after a long time.

“As I saw on my way up, our convent is making a profit by doing various things.”

Examples include goblin oil extraction and beekeeping. However, it was only a primary industry to obtain raw materials.

The place Jenny arrived with her group was a large facility built halfway up the hill.

The facility, which has the double ax symbol, the symbol of the Ax Convent, engraved on its large door, is full of busy men and women.

“It looks like this isn’t the Geumnam area either.”

“We hire local orphans first. There are no men and women in Goa, right?”

“Hmm… that’s a good thing.”

The convent is busy being self-sufficient, so outside activities are not easy.

However, the Dokse Convent seemed to be contributing to the local economy as it had a significant income.

‘It reminds me of Father Zhou.’

Pastor Kim was a Protestant pastor, but he also interacted a lot with Catholic priests.

Among them, he came into contact with priests who had been making cheese since the end of the Joseon Dynasty, and one day, he started a pizza business and hit a huge jackpot.

Father Joo, who had a passion for business, successfully franchised a pizza restaurant and used the profits to build an orphanage.

‘This place is just goblins. Let’s not have any preconceptions.’

cancer. Is there any problem with defeating and frying that monster?

In this world, that is common sense and everyday life.

“This is our convent’s goblin processing facility.”

It’s a goblin processing facility. I heard that goblin oil cannot be used for food, but what on earth is the oil used for?

Ray looked down on this world.

The nuns who grind goblins alive in a mortar, human malice…

“Oh, what a nice smell.”

The group is attracted by the fragrant smell wafting from the entrance.

There are several furnaces that perform heat treatment through heating, and there are technicians who solidify oil and make things by hand, and you can also see nuns packaging products.

“Oh my, is it soap?”

Soaps stacked in block shapes for mass production. That’s not all.

「Elizabeth Moisturizing」

「Elizabeth Anti-Aging Cream」

「Elizabeth Holly Perfectionist」

「Elizabeth Gogo Eau de Toilette」

「Elizabeth Ecotherapy Super Repair New World Total Serum」

A mountain of perfumes and cosmetics with sophisticated brand names.

Aaron frowned at the brand name.

“Elizabeth… do you mean Elizabeth, the Saint of the Double Axes?”

“Yes! They named the specialty product after the saint. It must be a fairly famous brand among nobles, right?”

“Hmm… I think it’s the one my mother used.”

“Uh, is it okay? Is it okay if I use the canonized saint’s name as the product name?”

Henry asked with a questioning voice, but in reality it was not an unusual occurrence in history.

Are there one or two products made in the shape of a canonized saint or Jesus?

When you go to European cathedrals, all kinds of products are sold, and right now in Korea, things like Jesus Christ cheese and sausages are being sold.

Oh, I can make some money in Jesus name!

Considering that in medieval Europe, the bones of saints became tourist products, and in the East, relics of monks were enshrined to attract visitors, branding related to saints is everywhere.

“Wait a minute. Oil? No way…”

“Uh. This is made using goblin oil.”

“what?”

Aaron is more shocked than the fact that he branded himself with the name of an adult.

Ray, who had grabbed the goblin facial oil, also dropped the cosmetics.

“Do you mean to use monster oil to make perfume or cosmetics?”

“What do you mean you can’t use it?

The men were startled by Jenny’s blunt answer.

So, doesn’t that mean we just used the blood clot oil, ground alive in a mortar, for cosmetics?

“No, cosmetics like this…”

“Ray! Cosmetics like this! This is a high-quality product that cannot be sold because it is not available among nobles!”

“yes?”

Are cosmetics made from goblin a high-quality product?

“That’s right, younger brother Ray. Our Elizabeth’s brand is quite famous.”

Jenny started explaining the effectiveness of goblin cosmetics to Ophelia, who was looking at the product.

Cosmetics made with goblin oil are said to have a good moisturizing effect on sensitive skin and are especially good for use in dry areas.

“How good is it for your skin? If you use this for just a month, you’ll have baby’s skin!”

“······For some reason, I thought you had fair skin for a commoner.”

“Huh? What do you say, master?”

“It is nothing.”

“Miss Jenny! If you have any good items, please recommend them! Ah! Of course, I’ll give you money!”

“Hmm, Lady Ophelia is from the North, so her skin is likely to get dry. Moisturizing is important, so let’s see.”

Anyway, I guess there is something that women have in common regardless of social status, so we chatted for a long time about goblin cosmetics.

Then suddenly.

A large piece of text catches my eye, perhaps an advertisement used in a convent.

“Don’t eat it. “Give way to your skin.”

At least here, it was an eerie phrase.

***

Needless to say, Outland’s main industry is an industry that uses monster by-products.

Aside from the disadvantage of having to risk your life to hunt them, the by-products of monsters are useful in many ways.

In particular, monsters like goblins that breed in large numbers and are easy to catch are a source of income that feeds the city, and there are several businesses that use goblins, such as the Ax Sisters.

“Boss! Are you here!”

“Uh, okay.”

Outside of Melpasa. Monster by-product processing facility.

The person who received a polite greeting from the facility staff was Hexkal, the president of ＜Bling Bling Cream＞, a famous cosmetics manufacturer in Melpasa.

He was a successful adventurer in the past, but since his retirement, he has been making significant profits by developing cosmetics using goblin oil.

Even though it does not have the canonized saint’s halo like the ‘Elizabeth’ brand of the Sisters of the Ax, it has achieved an exclusive position by offering goblin cosmetics at very cheap prices.

“What are your production goals today?”

“Yes! We exceeded our goal of 1,000 by reaching 200!”

“Good, good! If this trend continues, we’ll soon be able to surpass that one-eyed nun’s sales!”

Slaughtering over a thousand goblins in one day is beyond scale and bizarre.

Even though Outland is overflowing with goblins, capturing them alive and extracting oil from them is a different matter.

“Keep squeezing the goblins! We’re going to beat the one-eyed nun and take first place in sales this quarter!”

“Yes! Boss!”

Hexkal looks down at the golden field spread out in front of him with greedy eyes.

Kieeek!

Kiyaaa!

The green beasts trapped in the cage growled fiercely.
