That Time I got Reincarnated as a True Dragon

Assisting the Goblins

Upon giving them my answer to helping them with their problem, the goblin leader had began to show us the way to his village. On the way back, there was something I forgot to ask them all, so I decided to ask it now.

"You know, I have not asked your names yet."

"Apologies Velzura-sama. My name is Rigur, everyone else does not have a name."

"They don't have names. Why is that?" I asked.

"Brother, when a monster names another monster, it would be the equivalent to a human draining their life force. Its a dangerous action to take." Veldora explained on the gob- on Rigurs behalf.

"And as you see, Rigur has a different appearance from the others. That is because he has evolved into a hobgoblin." Veldora continued to explain things to me.

"That's interesting." We can't have a kingdom with unnamed monsters. So how will I overcome this exactly? I guess I will ask Raphael for details later.

Shortly after we arrived at their village. The other hobgoblins scattered and Rigur went to go fetch their elder. Leaving Veldora and I alone.

We ended up walking around the place until we found two tree stumps in the ground, so we ended up just sitting on them. It had not been long until Rigur returned with their elder. And an elder he was. He was super old and could barely stand up even with the stick he had for a cane.

But the first thing he did was prostrate before us.

"O great ones, I would like to thank you for accepting my sons request." The elder spoke, his voice was all shaky.

"There is no problem, but what would I gain out of helping you?" I asked, my eyes clearly focused upon them. In the end I would help them, I wont leave them to die. But I need to see how deep their resolve to live lies. If they are willing to accept the charity of a stranger.

"We..... We will give you our unwavering loyalty" He said still bowed to the ground.

"Very well. It is official. You will have the protection of the True Dragon Brothers." I said as I stood up. "True Dragon Brothers"? The title is somewhat lame, but it merely exemplifies that we are True Dragons.

But anyways, as soon as I made such a declaration everyone else followed suit and prostrate before us. I guess that is only natural. They did have two beings that can be considered gods.

"Are there any goblins that have been injured by these dire-wolves?" I asked.

"No. Aside from the ones you brought back, the dire-wolves have yet to officially attack our village."

"So the ones who would have been only injured are the ones I failed to save. I apologize for my failure." I said as I slightly bowed my head towards the elder.

"NO! NO! IT IS NOT OKAY FOR A MIGHT TRUE DRAGON LIKE YOURSELF TO BOW TO ME!" He said in a panic. Of course I raised my head back up after. Veldora looked at me a expression of slight surprise and bewilderment.

"We shall prepare for when the wolves attack then." I stood in my place and addressed the entire crowd of goblins. From that point onward, I was dividing tasks among the goblins to ensure they have their own defense.

7 Hours Later:

Hours have past now. The goblins preparations are ready and waiting. I am unsure when or if these wolves will attack, but it is good to have them with for future purposes.

Currently however, I have returned to sitting on the stump Veldora and I was on earlier. I was about to speak with Raphael over my skills.

'Raphael, can I have an overview of my skills further?'
