The supporting character's harem is very normal

"AA!! Okay, I have no intention of stealing that, okay?" Lathel shouted angrily. He felt that the system was too sensitive.

He only just thought about the notion of it when the system issued a warning message.

However, Lathel still sat down, and began to untie the rope that tied the gem to the staff in the Goblin Shaman's hand, then he placed it in the chest.

Lathel approached the cave entrance, and looked around as if looking for something.

He looked in the distance, and there was a spot of fire like a torch approaching this place.

Lathel turned his head and looked into the cave. At the end of the cave, in the fire that the Goblins had prepared in advance, were three wooden sticks about 30cm long gathered together.

The legs of those three wooden sticks were stuck into the fire, their ends bunched together, supporting a black bottle the size of a tennis ball.

This three-legged structure was very sturdy, as it could hold the black bottle until those sticks were burned.

Lathel stared at that thing for about 10 seconds then he hugged the chest and rushed out.

…

Outside, even though Alec had defeated the eight Goblins, he did not show any signs of fatigue.

"Huh! A bunch of useless Goblins."

Hearing Alec speak, his Master immediately spoke up: "Useless? Alec, if you weren't so arrogant, if you were more careful, you could have defeated those goblins easily."

"You should remember that although Goblins are not strong, they are quite agile and they have the ability to coordinate with each other to fight very well."

"If I didn't warn you, even though you could defeat those goblins, you would have been seriously injured."

Alec felt a bit embarrassed, but he still tried to act arrogant: "I… I knew. I just wanted to test how strong those Goblins are."

"Sigh, it's up to you. The next fight between you and the Goblin Shaman is even simpler." Alec's master said: "That Goblin Shaman seems to be very old."

"Without the protection of the young Goblins, you can kill him easily."

Alec nodded: "Um... I hope Lathel doesn't die too quickly. At least, he can cause some damage to the Goblin Shaman."

"You rate him too highly. Although The goblin Shaman is old, he is extremely alert and capable of using magic."

"As long as Lathel gets close to the cave entrance, it will definitely use magic to attack him."The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

"You should also be careful, don't underestimate your enemies too much."

"Ah! I get it." Alec replied, but in his words there was no interest in what his Master had just said.

Alec carried a torch and approached the cave.

...…

Lathel saw Alec approaching. He turned his head and looked at the three wooden sticks being burned by fire.

The sticks began to break, causing the black bottle they were supporting to fall into the fire.

At this moment, Alec was only about 10 meters away from the cave entrance when Lathel suddenly rushed out from inside the cave.

"Run! Run away! there is a goblin shaman inside!" Lathel ran screaming, his face filled with fear.

"What? Goblin Shaman? Hahaha… don't worry, I will…"

BOOM!

Before Alec could finish his sentence, an explosive sound rang out, fire spewed out from inside the cave accompanied by black smoke, startling him.

"What the hell?!" Alec was scared: "Could it be... that's the goblin Shaman's magic?"

Alec wanted to run after Lathel when his master's voice rang out: "What the hell are you doing? It was just an explosion caused by a 'Exploding Jar'."

"Are you crazy? How do I know if there are any other 'explosive vials' inside?" Alec shouted angrily: "Besides, didn't you see that Lathel was carrying a chest, so why would I risk running into the cave?"

"You… Sigh, it's up to you." Alec's master sighed, then fell silent.

Alec didn't say much, and he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately ran behind Lathel.

After all, Lathel was carrying a large chest. He was afraid that if he didn't catch up with Lathel, all the valuable things would be taken by him.

The two of them ran for an unknown amount of time before stopping. Lathel placed the chest on the ground, then sat down, panting.

"Hah… hah… hah… Luckily… we escaped." Lathel said while breathing heavily.

Alec was different, his physical strength was many times better than Lathel's so he wasn't tired. He glanced at the chest on the ground, then frowned and asked: "What happened? Are there monsters inside?"

"That's right…" Lathel took a deep breath and said: "Inside the cave… inside the cave there was a Goblin Shaman… he… he was sleeping."

"Sleeping?!" Alec felt strange. His master had said that the Goblin Shaman was extremely careful, so how could he sleep comfortably without noticing Lathel's existence?

Besides… The sounds of fighting that Alec made were very loud, so why was the Goblin Shaman still sleeping?

Lathel sighed and said: "I haven't finished speaking yet... Hah.. hah..."

Lathel tried to take a deep breath, then continued: "I saw the Goblin Shaman sleeping, so I went into the cave and took the good things before it woke up."

"After getting the chest, The Goblin Shaman suddenly woke up. No, it was not a coincidence. It pretended to be asleep to lure me into the cave. After I got this chest, it immediately woke up."

"It threw a small black bottle at me, but nothing happened. At that time, I quickly ran away."

"But The goblin Shaman blocked the cave entrance, I didn't know what to do so I took a risk."

"Luckily the shaman was old, so he was not my opponent in close combat. That's why.. hah… hah…" Lathel said while panting.

His face still showed fear and surprise as if he couldn't calm down.

"I… I tried to run away as fast as I could."

Hearing that, Alec frowned and said: "So what was the explosion in the cave just now?"

"Explosion? Isn't that the Goblin Shaman's magic?" Lathel was startled, his face filled with confusion as he asked Alec.

Hearing that, Alec frowned, he bowed his head, then opened the lid of the chest. Inside were many gold and silver coins, a few items and skill scrolls, perhaps they belonged to dead adventurers.

Alec looked at the chest, then looked at Lathel, he then showed a guilty smile: "Sorry, Lathel, I didn't know there was a Goblin Shaman inside the cave. Sigh, this is my fault, sorry."

Lathel waved his hand: "No, I don't blame you at all. Anyway, that Goblin Shaman was too old to stop me so I could easily escape."

"Don't talk about it anymore, we're friends, I don't blame you for that. How could we know that there were other monsters in the cave?"

Listening to Lathel, Alec smiled: "Um, thank you. Of course, you said we were friends, so let us divide this treasure equally."

"Heh?! Certainly not! I can't! No!" Lathel was startled when he heard that and quickly said: "I didn't do much, I just took out the chest. Besides… The goblin Shaman was old, so I wasn't in too much danger."

"You had to fight 8 Goblins alone, you had the hardest job. I don't want to compete with you for treasure, just share it how you deem fit."

Listening to Lathel, Alec felt even more guilty.

'Sigh, Lathel considers me his best friend but I used him as bait, I'm such a bastard.'

Alec remembered that when he lived on Earth, he did not have any friends in reality.

In fact, he had a lot of friends in games and on social networks. However, he never met them.

And online friendships were often very fragile as they could easily end.

Now, upon seeing Lathel's trust in him he felt extremely embarrassed and guilty.

"Huh! Friends? It's just a fragile concept that breaks like a sponge." Alec's master's voice rang out: "To become king, you must accept loneliness, and endure things that ordinary people cannot endure."

Hearing that, Alec suddenly remembered the main characters he had seen in anime. Most of them relied on the power of friendship to be able to fight till the end.

"Master, you are wrong. Thanks to friendship, we can fight with all our strength and soul."

"I will prove to you that the power of friendship will conquer everything."

Master: "..."

Alec's master really wanted to say: "Are you stupid?"

In the morning you used your friend as bait, in the afternoon you say he is your best friend, will you not betray your friends?

How can a normal person change so quickly?

Alec didn't pay attention to his master anymore. He planted the torch on the ground, then carefully examined everything inside the chest.

10 minutes passed…

Alec sighed, he felt that the things in the chest didn't seem to be of any use to him.

He had a lot of gold and silver coins. He could even rely on his master's preparation of medicinal herbs to earn more than the amount of gold coins in the chest.

The skill scrolls were all low-level skills, much weaker than the skills he currently possesses.

Suddenly, he saw a few stones in the chest. Alec held one of them in his hand and looked at it for a long moment.

"That is the Earth Elemental Stone." His master's voice echoed in his head: "In terms of size, transparency and light, it is just an Earth Elemental Stone Rank E."

Alec sighed: "Of course I know it's an E-rank Earth Elemental Stone. Sigh, damn it! It took so much effort but I only got a few gold coins and a few useless stones."

After all, Alec was the main character, so he of course uses the strongest offensive element, the fire element. That's why he felt like this stone was no different to him than a pebble.

Suddenly, he saw Lathel looking at this stone with eyes full of expectation.

Alec realized that although this stone was useless to him, it was very suitable for Lathel.

"Lathel, you possess the Earth Elemental Talent, right?"

Hearing Alec's question, Lathel nodded: "That's right."

Alec smiled, he took a very old space bag from the treasure chest. Then, he put some gold and silver coins inside, of course along with the Earth Elemental Stones.

Hw then threw the bag at Lathel and said, "This is your portion."
