Year One Manga Chapter 40

This is the fortieth chapter of the Year One manga.

## Official Description

*Arc Mage nears her destination while Goblin Slayer holds off the endless horde, but one final challenge stands in her way...!*
## Full Summary

Arc Mage manages to form the next shadow-like object into a shape in the form of eight, while Goblin Slayer continues to hold off the endless goblin horde. The numerical result of the puzzle as well as the number of goblins killed increased as Goblin Slayer and Arc Mage continue to repeat this process through the next few floors.

During a brief intermission, Arc Mage assures Goblin Slayer that these goblins cannot leave the tower and will only exist as long as the tower does, in other words when she finally arrives at her destination. When Goblin Slayer reacts with indifference to her goals, he explains that his teacher told him everything came down to whether one decided to act or not; as he didn't act when his sister met her demise, he would not judge someone else for doing otherwise. In response, Arc Mage tells Goblin Slayer that she made the right choice choosing him for the quest.

In the next room, the Goblin Slayer counts the number of goblins killed over one-hundred twenty, but the sheer number of opponents begins to fatigue him. To Arc Mage's bewilderment, the number of the puzzle numbered a total of six hundred, and she begins panicking over whether she would have enough time to solve it.

## Major Events

* Arc Mage struggles to solve the puzzle of the last door as Goblin Slayer begins to be overwhelmed by the goblin horde.

## Full Summary

Arc Mage manages to form the mist into a six-hundred sided polychoron, allowing her and Goblin Slayer to venture further. Referring to the flood Goblin Slayer created, Arc Mage lectures him to plan more carefully with such a high-risk solution; Goblin Slayer himself notes that the method was not very flexible. Upon reaching the landing of the staircase, Arc Mage pushes open a large door to an environment that turned out to be Arc Mage's destination. She apologizes to Goblin Slayer for dragging him into her own story, but Goblin Slayer states it wasn't a problem, citing the story as a goblin-slaying one. Arc Mage tells Goblin Slayer of a myth where a giant who spent ages draining a lake with a seashell; he managed to find treasure after succeeding, which is why Arc Mage wouldn't mock Goblin Slayer for his fixation on goblin slaying. She elaborates that Goblin Slayer's knowledge was a spark; when asked if she had one herself, she remarks that she was going to discover that herself. Arc Mage then gives Goblin Slayer her ring before finally leaving through the door.

With the ring's spark gone, leaving it an ordinary Breath ring, Goblin Slayer uses it to escape the flooded tower with ease. After escaping, Goblin Slayer notes the complete absence of the goblins, and doubts that he would ever see Arc Mage again.

While heading back to the farm after getting the rest of the reward from the guild, Goblin Slayer speculates that what Arc Mage wanted was to see what was outside the world, or even become one of the players in the heavens. He promptly shakes off any further thought, reasoning that whatever Arc Mage accomplished was her business alone, and he had no place to judge it; but what he does conclude with certainty is that Arc Mage succeeded.

This is the twenty-seventh chapter of the Year One manga.

## Official Description

*The student has become the teacher and it's Goblin Slayer's turn to get schooled!*
— Year One Chapter 27's official description.
## Full Summary

While dissecting the dead goblins, Arc Mage confirms that there are no female goblins. Goblin Slayer allows her to continue the dissection, as it was a better option than having to defend himself holding both the prisoner and a dead goblin. After glancing at a discarded saddle, Arc Mage hypothesizes that goblins learned how to ride animals based on the fact that living things adapted to their environments; even suggesting that hobgoblins were the result of goblins wandering alone rather than in groups. Arc Mage then suggests that he study goblins as a way of helping him hunt, but Goblin Slayer refuses. He states that doing so would mean letting goblins destroy villages, and adds that his sister already told him goblins came from the green moon. Arc Mage dismisses the claim as a story made to frighten children or as a joke, but Goblin Slayer bluntly tells her that he wasn't laughing.

As Goblin Slayer and Arc Mage leave with the captive, Arc Mage comments that to travel is to travel together, but she adds that they weren't going to the same place.

## Major Events

* Arc Mage and Goblin Slayer talk about goblins.

Rogues Guild

The **Rogues Guild** is an underground organization of Adventurers not registered at the Adventurer's Guild.

## Overview

The Guild of Rogues is located in places with their doorways marked by those of the organization. A password is needed to gain full access to the guild, as shown when Goblin Slayer and Priestess visited one location. The Guild of Rogues is also particularly welcome to those who don't trust the Adventurer's Guild.

Individuals called johnsons request those called fixers to find runners to perform a specific task, much like quests at the Adventurer's Guild. Due to their underground nature, the jobs can involve doing dangerous and illegal work, and runners are left entirely to themselves to ensure their own safety. On the other hand, johnsons who discard runners purely for personal gain usually meet an untimely end.

## Known Members

* Burglar
* The Spy
* Changeling
* Knowledge Cleric
* Familiar Mage
* A male "well-built" Shaman called "Driver"

## Fronts

The Rogues Guild either operates "legit" businesses as fronts for their operations, or they secretly operate within these establishments without the owners' knowledge. From the clandestine manner, in which the back offices of these establishments operate, it's very likely the establishments are at the very least definitely aware of the business the Rogues Guild operates within.

Interestingly, the Rogues Guild seems to be fond of hiring Mermaids for these establishments

* **Frontier Town General Store**: A small general store in the Frontier Town with a speakeasy in the back
* **The Golden Mirage**: An elaborate bar in the Desert Kingdom run by retired Rogues
* **The Mermaid**: A large and popular casino in the Water Town

## Trivia

* Despite not being a member, Goblin Slayer is held in high regard by the Rogues Guild due to him being a student of Burglar, who the Rogue Guild holds in *extremely* high regard. Thus he has full access to their hideouts and often uses their services

## Full Summary

In the Adventurer's Guild, minor tremors occur as Professor helps Young Warrior and Martial Artist study how to read and write. Both students have difficulty with the material, with Martial Artist stating that she is more suited to martial arts training. Once Elf Acolyte and Dwarf Scout return after shopping, Heavy Warrior also comes. Young Warrior points out Heavy Warrior looking rather pale, and after reflecting upon the difficulty of leading a party, he tells him not to push himself helping his companions. Elf Acolyte takes minor issue thinking that Young Warrior was making the group appear as burdens, which causes Martial Artist to sincerely ask if he thought she was one herself. Young Warrior jokingly replies that she was, resulting in flustered reactions from her.

That moment, all attention in the building is turned toward a female Guild employee who steps out of a black carriage into the building. The group has a brief discussion on how the nobility can afford to educate themselves to become civil servants. Young Warrior comes to realize the massive responsibilities of the nobles, dismissing the notion of living happily ever after as something out of reach for adventurers. Heavy Warrior agrees and departs, telling him to look after himself. Young Warrior recognizes as a party leader that overseeing a guild came with plenty of challenges and was something that impacted his life, but concludes he probably wouldn't be directly involved in it.

## Major Events

* Young Warrior and Martial Artist attempt to learn how to read and write.
* The senior guild receptionist arrives at the frontier guild.

Still, the adventurer credits her for leading him here, which leads the nun to admit she is happy the girl is still lively even after being orphaned. The adventurer informs her no one else would be coming, before asking where the goblins were.

After asking the villagers, the adventurer figures the goblins attacking the village were a group of wanderers with no nest. He directs the villagers to start the harvest early, so that the goblins will have less time to get livestock and the village girls.

Humans are capable of breeding with elves thus producing half-elves.

**Vikings** or **People of the Bay** are an ethnic group of humans that live beyond the northern mountains of the world.

The lands where the Vikings dwell are said to be beyond the mountains where the Harefolk dwell. They tell tales of how the lands there are terrifying and serve as a cautionary warning to stay away as roughnecks thrive there and rob people.

Some of the Vikings' ways, while seen normal to them, can be quite barbarous to outsiders; In the north, they are regarded as pirates and thieves. In fact, they are raiders and traders by nature due to the harsh North and make war amongst other tribes to take resources. Such actions are not done through malice, but are seen as inspiration of greater confidence.

Vikings also practice slavery which they use as a method of cheap labor; even women are taken during these raids, and those who were abducted were recognized as married to their kidnappers. The tradition is universal to all the tribes, and those taken do not show anger nor fear but excitement and joy as the abduction is seen as proof of their husband's intelligence, goodwill, and martial valor to steal themselves a bride.

Vikings do not have much interaction with other races, though are aware of the existence of Elves and Dwarves. They have aggressive encounters with Goblins or "Orcs" as they are called in their homeland.

The Vikings while originally independent have since joined **the Kingdom** after one of its knights married the Húsfreya.

### Desertfolk

The **Desertfolk** are an ethnic group of humans that live in the Desert wastes to the East, forming the Desert Kingdom. They traditionally worship the Trade God and the Wind God.

## Chronology

### Background

Priestess of the God of Knowledge by day, Rogue by night. Knowledge Cleric became a Rogue at some point in order to “reclaim lost tomes of knowledge” as she puts it. Eventually being placed in a Party with The Spy.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 10

Knowledge Cleric aided Spy and Changeling as they infiltrated a corrupt Wine Merchant’s villa.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 11

After being scouted and hired by the Silver-Haired Maid of the Royal Court, Spy appears in the Desert Kingdom with his team to get the maids of the Desert Princess out of the palace and to safety.

That night, Spy, Changeling, and Knowledge Cleric infiltrate the same fortress that Goblin Slayer's party was infiltrating. While Spy thought aloud that Goblin Slayer's methods were "crazy" and Changeling thought they were "amusing", Knowledge Cleric herself held no opinion on Goblin Slayer's method and just wanted to focus on the mission at hand.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 12

Spy and his team were hired to assassinate a drug addict who has been stealing from her suppliers to sell her own stash. While Knowledge Cleric was instead still upset about losing potential important tomes of knowledge from her last mission, she diligently helped her team with much needed focus. However, this didn't stop her from messing with Spy and Changeling alongside Familiar Mage.

After things took an unexpected shift, Knowledge Cleric used her numerous resources to pour over the citizenry registry and discovered vital clues about a certain guard and the drug addict, that they were half-sisters. Knowledge Cleric deduced that the Guard was in fact the addict's supplier due to their familial ties and was in fact the one that murdered her after her half-sister was selling drugs as well. With this, she deduced that a portion of the City Guard were taking drugs from Dealers but then selling them back to the streets at a surplus.

After Spy and Changeling handled the Guard and recovered a list of collaborating City Guard on the drug take, Knowledge Cleric took her reward and returned to her Temple to try and track down more lost tomes.

## Miracles

Knowledge Cleric uses the God of Knowledge Miracles to help her party.

Illusion/Relationships

## Fellow Greater Gods

### Truth

Illusion and Truth are companions, however whereas Illusion enjoys taking control of an Adventurer and having them go on a whimsical adventure, Truth does not and this causes the friends a great deal of friction.

### Life & Death

Life and Death seem to be great friends with Illusion; the two helped her create her own major campaign on a few occasions and even shielded her latest adventure from the machinations of Truth.

## Mortals

### Goblin Slayer

Illusion has come to enjoy Goblin Slayer's appearances in her campaigns, enjoying the unpredictability of the character. Since he saved her, abandoned, chosen heroine Priestess, she has come to further enjoy his appearances and has come to rely on him to stop Truth's sadistic party wipes.

### Priestess

Priestess was a chosen heroine of Illusion, given her a secret (hinted royal) background and "chosen one" status, Illusion had high hopes for Priestess and her new Party. However, her first roll for Priestess spelled *doom* for her so realizing the *Goblin Slaying Quest* was going to end in disaster for her, dropped her character and began working on Failed Heroine. Though she was sad for what was going to happen to Priestess, she noted Goblin Slayer had entered the board and hoped he'd save her, which he did.

Since then, Illusion has kept tabs on Priestess; as the secret background and "chosen one" status she gave her has started to affect the flow of Goblin Slayer's quests.

### Failed Heroine

The Failed Heroine was a young Adventurer that Illusion took a liking to. She arranged for her to meet a group of four other young girls, they would defeat Dark Elf, and find the special herb she needed to save the boy she loved. Sadly, Illusion bungled her most critical roll and caused Dark Elf to *slaughter* Failed Heroine and her Party, an act that caused Illusion to run to her room and cry uncontrollably in her bed, blaming herself for the girl's fate.
Vikings

## Race Information

**Vikings** or **People of the Bay** are a ethnic group of humans that live beyond the northern mountains of the world.

## Overview

The lands where the Vikings dwell are said to be beyond the mountains where the harefolk dwell. They tell tales of how the lands there are terrifying and serve as a cautionary warning to stay away as roughnecks thrive there who rob people.

Some of the Vikings ways, while seen normal to them, can be quite barbarous to outsiders. In the north, they are regarded as pirates and thieves. In fact they are raiders and traders by nature due to the harsh north and make war amongst other tribes to take resources. Such actions are not done through malice, but are seen as inspiration of greater confidence. Vikings also practice slavery which they use as a method of cheap labor.

Even women are taken during these raids, and those were were abducted were recognized as married to their kidnappers. This tradition or the brúðrav is universal to all the tribes, and those taken do not show anger nor fear but excitement and joy as the abduction is seen as proof of their husband's intelligence, goodwill, and martial valor to steal themselves a bride as well as proof of the woman's "bridely" features.

Vikings do not have much interaction with other races, though are aware of the existence of elves and dwarves. Races such as lizardmen are seen as a novelty and mistaken as dragons. And have aggressive encounters with goblins or orcs as they are called in their homeland.

The Vikings while originally independent have since joined the Kingdom after one of its knights married the húsfreya. To give the Vikings credit they appear to be more technologically savvy as they use cranes, a device that is unknown to most inhabitants of the Kingdom.

Unlike the humans in the Kingdom, the Vikings openly worship deities that are loosely aligned with Chaos, such as "the loving mother of darkness" and Valkyrie.

Year One Manga Chapter 53

This is the fifty-third chapter of the Year One manga.

## Official Description

Goblin Slayer's promotion exam begins in earnest. His first task—tracking some goblins, and trying to explain what he sees as common sense to someone else...

## Full Summary

Goblin Slayer meets up with Cow Girl at the farm, and tells her that he is undergoing a promotion exam. Cow Girl flusters answering the receptionist evaluating Goblin Slayer, but soon finds comfort in the latter's comments regarding her as his family. She humbly requests the receptionist to give him a fair shot at his evaluation, which the receptionist assures.

Traversing through a plain, Goblin Slayer deduces the goblins to be wanderers, which he labels as not much of a threat. The receptionist sharply corrects him, explaining that while the guild does not view them to be a significant menace, they still consider all monsters as threats, some more deserving than others. Goblin Slayer changes his answer when she brings up villagers who aren't able to defend themselves; he states that they are threats, but not great ones. When asked why, he privately muses that she comes off as a teacher, much like his master and sister. He then reveals the presence of footprints, and judges from their appearance to be from a starving goblin. As he answers more of her questions, Goblin Slayer is irritated by how readily his responses are. He then notices that the receptionist has made no noise with her footsteps, even at the Adventurer's Guild, and figures something is strange about her gait. Goblin Slayer brushes these thoughts off to focus on slaying goblins, and he soon manages to find a group of goblins sleeping under a rock.

## Major Events

* Cow Girl meets the Goblin Slayer's handler.
* Goblin Slayer answers several questions about his quest.
* The senior receptionist makes no noise when walking.

Rheas

**Rheas** (圃人 (レーア) , *Rēa*) are meadow-dwelling folk that look mostly human except for their size and their pointed ears.

## Overview

Rheas are smaller than the average human and are not much for combat (as described by Dwarf Shaman). They reach physical adulthood at around thirty years of age but mental adulthood can be reached way earlier than that. Some of their species love to recite riddles in terms of combat and teaching, Burglar being a notable example. In terms of a typical fantasy setting, they mostly represent a halfling race.

Prejudice against rheas is existent, where they are seen as duplicitous thieves.

Myrmidons

## Race Information

**Myrmidons** are a race in *Goblin Slayer* typical of ones found in most fantasy series.

## Overview

Overall Myrmidons resemble anthromorphic insects. Most of the world view Myrmidons as cold, less-engaged creatures. While not as strong as humans, Myrmidons make up for this weakness with sheer number and the ability to fly with a pair of wings behind their backs.
