Chapter 43: Discovery
Sewers, campfire halls.
Not long after Nina left, Gordon lazily propped himself up and began to eat the breakfast that the servants of the Blackfire Clan had prepared for the new day.
Charcoal-grilled live fish.
Seven or eight catfish-like fish of more than ten catties were neatly arranged and placed under the high platform of Gordon, and there was a bonfire next to it to keep the fish at temperature.
Gordon doesn't like to eat cold, he likes to eat hot, and the hotter the better, which is well known.
It is something that every servant of the Black Fire Clan should know.
Just as Gordon finished breakfast and started his day.
I heard a goblin coming down there to send a message, and it was said that there was movement from the kobolds.
Gordon naturally summoned the goblin scout to inquire in person, and the short goblin, who looked thin but walked three points faster than an ordinary goblin, hurriedly stepped forward and said humbly.
"The great true dragon, the vile kobold, has brought a lot of food into their lair today, including the living goblins, the nezumi ....... β
"Oh? Did you hear anything unusual?"
Gordon asked.
"I can't hear anything except the dense barking of the dogs, but listening to the sound, they are very excited and fanatical, a bit like ...... When our clan used to sacrifice. β
The dwarf goblin used to be a member of the Kaz clan, that is, the god goblin clan, and it was very familiar with sacrificing this kind of thing.
"Good job! Keep watching, but don't alarm them! β
Gordon admonished, apparently there must be a secret in the kobold's lair.
However, it is now waiting for Nina to return, and it is not considering making a move for the time being.
It's not too late to wait for the details to be heard, and only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles.
Gordon firmly believes that information is incomparably important, both in the previous life and in the Otherworld in this life.
The news of the kobold completely discouraged Gordon's plan to lie on the high platform as a salted fish, and he felt that he should do something.
So, he took a few elite goblins and went out for a walk and inspected the campfire territory.
It also wanted to see if it could bump into Nina on the way to patrol, and he was still quite curious about the alchemy shop transaction this time.
In order to purchase an item, in addition to the material.
When Nina went out, she took all her savings, all the coins on the platform, as many as seven silver coins.
Of course, this step is to worry about not having enough money......
After all, the things it wants to buy are all more valuable, whether it's books or potions, and I don't know if it can buy them all......
Gordon thought as he deftly avoided the warning trap hidden in the narrow crevice.
As soon as you touch it, it will emit a shrill ringing ring, and you can hear it even from a distance of thousands of kilometers.
It allows Gordon to effectively control the safety of his territory.
After all, those goblins are still relatively familiar with avoiding these traps, and basically there will be no accidental triggering.
So that Gordon will not experience the story of "the wolf is coming".
Today's sewers, the wind is very noisy.
Gordon thought as he walked lightly on his muscular limbs, silently.
Like a cat, it roams around the area around the campfire hall.
There are also a few elite goblins with bone sticks in the distance, like a closed wall of flesh, which is very scary!
......
As one of the last rat knights of the Nezumi, Terry has taken on many burdens that he shouldn't have at his age.
After that suspected abyss demon attack killed seven or eight giant rat knights in one time, the giant rat knight branch of the rat people.
There are no more powerful people who can take a shot.
Tuka and Vecchi, the best of these rat knights, have returned to the place where they were bornβthe River Styx.
This led to the giant rat knight suddenly being snubbed in the rat tribe.
The day before, a new batch of nezumi training was more inclined towards turning nezumi wanderers.
Or the Nezumi Ranger, the kind who shoots with a venomous little bow and crossbow.
These two are more suitable for the Nezumi profession.
There is no doubt that with Tuka's death, the Rat Knight has also fallen, and he can no longer struggle for the slightest wave.
After all, slaying the dragon is a reflection of the lake.
And now, Terry, the giant rat knight, is shouldering the orders of the supreme sacrifice lord of the nezumi clan.
Listen to the fires in the southeast and the movement of the goblins, which seem to have been making a lot of noise recently.
The priest planned to send scouts to find out if there was a new force over there.
Considering that the Wanderer is much less mobile than the Rat Rider, it was Terry who took on the task in the end, which it considered to be a useful task for the Rat Rider.
Therefore, it was very interested in this task, and first went to the Goblin Gathering Place, which was originally called the Kaz Tribe, and the Dica Tribe's Gathering Place to check it out.
Knowing that the two tribes were suspected of being eradicated, after all, in the hall of the Dika clan, more than a dozen goblin bones that had not yet decayed were still placed there.
Originally, it wanted to go back to its life, but an indescribable sense of responsibility swept through Terry's body, and it wanted to revive the Rat Rider like Tuka.
Let the newborn nezumi see that the knight's status in the heart of the sacrificial lord is not inferior to that of the wanderer and the ranger.
It will carry on Tuka's legacy and carry forward the spirit of chivalry.
So, after discovering the two locations, it immediately drove the giant rat under it towards the third location, the goblin gathering place of the Galak clan.
This time, it has to do the job perfectly.
Terry drove the giant rat under him through the sewers.
While touching the heart-shaped sapphire that hung on his stubby neck, he prayed silently.
"Lord Tuka, let Terry become a great rat rider like you, and lead the future of the rat clan!"
This was the reward given to it by Lord Tuka when it was promoted to become a Rat Knight, and it has always kept it in its home as a treasure.
It was not until after Tuka's death that he wore it, so that Tuka's legacy could be remembered at all times.
"Just go into the remote crack in front, and when the time comes, you just need to be careful, observe, and then you can go back and report. β
Terry galloped down the sewers, soon seeing its destination, looking at the cracks ahead, its brain thinking about the steps to come.
After carefully considering the escape route of the steps, Terry gently led the giant rat into the inconspicuous crack without a sound.
"Such a narrow crack was born for me as a rat man, and it was a waste for those green-skinned cubs. β
Terry thought as he drilled the crack as the rat stepped on something like a switch.
In the next second, a sharp alarm sounded in the crack.
Terry immediately panicked, because the corner in front of him was originally pitch black, and at this time, the firelight was far and near.
Apparently he was discovered.
At the same time, the goblin's voice of "Ulla!Ulla!" came from the corner ahead.
However, Terry's expression was also slightly stunned, but he didn't react much, in his opinion, as long as he was not surrounded.
It can drive the giant rat under it to charge with all its might, and it is impossible to be caught by the goblin.
That's why it's so bold to go to the lair to have a look.
Therefore, it even stepped on the sharp alarm device a little unhurriedly, and then looked at the goblins surrounding Wuyang and Wuyang.
He cursed in the nezumi language.
"Goodbye, green-skinned cubs, if you have the ability, I'll chase you Uncle Terry and me!",
As he spoke, Terry was about to turn his head when he drove the giant rat under him, but the moment it turned its head, it felt that the gap in the exit behind it seemed to be much darker.
Then, Terry saw a pair of dark golden vertical pupils at the exit of the gap, and he was looking at it without blinking.
Moreover, the owner of those eyes has a familiar nezumi language in his mouth.
"Oh, look what I've found? two cute and charming little mice!"
Its mouth grinned widely...... It's huge.
