Chapter Seventy-Two: Capturing the Goblins

They were busy when suddenly there was a shouting in the distance, and everyone looked around and saw a slightly chubby dwarf running from a distance.

The dwarf's name was Tammon, and he was in his 20s, and although he was not yet an adult in terms of the dwarf's age, he was the oldest in the group, so he became the leader of today's melon picking. However, Tammon is not conspicuous among the dwarves, according to other dwarven children, he likes to be lazy, his head is not very bright, his movements are clumsy, and his body size is not good-looking among the dwarves, so he is not very popular.

The men of the dwarf race are strong and powerful, they have been proud of forging for generations, and if they want to pick up the forging hammer, a strong physique is a must, but Tanmon does not have such a strong physique, although he is fat, but he does not have much strength, which is rare among the dwarves. In the Dwarves, if a man's innate constitution is not suitable for picking up a forging hammer, then becoming an enchanter is also a way to achieve success in forging, because the enchantment in the later stage of weapon forging is a key link in determining the quality of the weapon.

In the case of Archie, he was naturally thin and unfit to be a blacksmith like his father, but he was gifted in enchantment, and was even accepted as an apprentice by the clan's top enchanter, Kusse, so even though he was small, he still gained the respect of his peers. However, Tanmeng is different, not only does he not have the physique to become a forger, but also does not have the talent to become an enchanter, he cultivates his fighting spirit very slowly, he does not even have the slightest mental power, he is over twenty years old but has achieved nothing, he is a complete wastewood, and because of this, he is not very popular among his peers.

The crowd didn't react much when they heard Tanmon's shout, and they stayed where they were, and it wasn't until he ran in front of him that Duno asked, "What'......s wrong with you?"

"I see...... Whew...... Yes...... There ......," Tamon said, hunched over and gasping for air.

"You can rest for a while. Archie spoke.

Tanmon gasped as he raised his hand and shook it.

"Ignore him, it's ...... for him," Kunu said.

"I see it...... Goblins ......," Tanmon said.

"What?!" everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Zero looked at everyone's panicked expressions with a solemn face, and stood in place without making a sound. He's been here for almost a month, and he's heard of the feud between the dwarves and the goblins. Goblins are a relatively common species on the Lemotania continent, they have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, reproduce quickly, have good coordination ability, know how to make and use tools, and have the ability to move similar to humans, if it weren't for their short lifespan and inability to cultivate fighting spirit and magic like humans, I'm afraid that it is not humans but goblins who rule the Lemotania continent.

At this time, Lula, who was sitting on the side, stood up and asked Tanmon, "Where did you see it?

Tanmon straightened up and looked at Lula and replied, "Outside the matrix in the northwest direction, by that small river, there are not many of them, only three. ”

Everyone was immediately relieved when they heard Tanmeng's answer.

"Then what are you worried about? Someone said.

"Seeing you yelling like that, I thought a big group of goblins were coming~"

"Hahaha...... I'm so scared that I'm trembling~"

"Hahahaha......"

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone began to get busy again. Tanmon stood there with a red face, Kunu staring at him with a frown and asking, "You ran outside the matrix?"

Tanmeng lowered his chin and nodded, and after Kunu saw his movements, he said with a serious expression: "The patriarch stipulates that you can't step out of the alchemy matrix before you are a minor, do you take the patriarch's words as a deaf ear?!"

Kunu's scolding reached everyone's ears, and everyone turned their eyes to Tanmeng, who was standing still and did not speak, and Kunu then reproached: "We have been busy here for most of the afternoon, and we have worked hard to pick so many melons, and Lemon even almost fell and injured herself in order to pick melons, and as a result, you, the leader, also ran outside the matrix to see the goblins, are you like that?!"

"You can't fix your lazy problem......" Duno followed.

Everyone condemned Tanmeng's laziness, and Tanmeng just stood there with his face flushed, his head bowed and not saying a word. Zero still stood there and watched the development of the situation quietly, after all, it was a matter within the human family, and it was difficult for him to persuade an outsider.

"Alright, don't say it. ”

Suddenly, Zeya stood up and persuaded her, she walked to Tanmeng's side, looked around and said, "Tanmeng is indeed at fault, but after all, he found the goblin, and I also think he should apologize for his laziness, but what we need to do now is to finish picking the melons as soon as possible, and go back to the village to inform the village adults." Those goblins are so close to the matrix, it's not normal. ”

Everyone fell silent when they heard Zeya's words. Tanmon looked at Zeya and whispered "thank you".

Kunu frowned and glanced at Zeya and said, "What's wrong with this? Those goblins like to hang around the matrix when they have nothing to do, and my father was attacked and injured by them when he went hunting in the woods outside the matrix last month, and he is still lying in bed to recuperate." ”

"Hmph, these cunning goblins, if they weren't for their large numbers, our dwarves would have served them a long time ago!" said Duno hatefully.

"That's it!"

"These annoying spirits, as many as ants. ”

"I really hope that a powerful demonic beast can trample their nest to pieces!"

"My dad went out hunting the year before and they shot his arm with a bow and arrow, and my mom cried all night......"

"My uncle is not the same, his leg injury has not healed until now, and he walks with a limp. ”

"It's disgusting!"

......

Tanmon glanced at the chattering crowd, then he took a step forward and raised his voice and said, "Listen to me...... everybody"

Seeing that the eyes of the crowd turned to him, Tanmon continued, "I apologize for my lazy behavior, and I am sorry for everyone...... But I found three lone goblins this time, and all of us have relatives who have been attacked by goblins, so are we going to keep letting them attack so passively?"

After hearing Tanmeng's words, everyone fell silent, and Duno opened his mouth and asked Tanmeng, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that we can attack them too. Tammon spread his hands.

"What do you mean...... Shall we get those three goblins back?" someone asked.

Hearing this, Yaqi immediately spoke up and said, "No! Grandpa the patriarch has stipulated that you can't step out of the matrix until you become an adult." ”

"I think so. Kunu said suddenly.

"Brother Kunu?" Archie looked at Kunu with a puzzled face.

"We can't keep those disgusting goblins attacking, they'll think we're a weak race. Kunu looked at Archie and said, "And, I'm going to avenge my father!"

"Don't you want revenge?" asked Kunu, turning his face to look at the dwarven boys around him.

"Yes!" someone immediately responded to him, and the sound of sneak attacks on goblins rang out one after another.

Zeya looked at this group of hot-blooded teenagers and hurriedly persuaded them: "Calm down! We must not violate the patriarch's rules, goblins are a dangerous and cunning race, and we can't just run out of the matrix to attack them so easily." ”

"You don't have to, Zea," Kunu said, staring at Zea, "the girls should go home and do their chores, and we men will have to do the attack on the goblins." ”

"Kunu, what do you mean?! Zeya kindly advised you, not wanting you to run out without permission and get hurt. Lula asked, looking at Kunu with a calm face.

"I'm here to avenge my father, he can't be hurt for nothing!, you know?!" Kunu said loudly to Lura.

"Don't quarrel, talk about something slowly......" Yi Meng, who had been sitting on the side, also stepped forward to persuade her.

"Kunu, don't tell her that this is useless, I'll go with you, I've been unhappy with those goblins for a long time, if I can catch them this time, I must teach them a good lesson. Duno on the side clenched his fist and said to Kunu.

"Who else is going? Come with no cowards!" said Kunu, raising his chin.

Hearing this, the surrounding boys enthusiastically signed up, and the dozen or so boys present all participated.

"Zero, are you going?" asked Kunu as he turned his face to Zero, who had been standing silent.

Zero looked at Kunu's serious expression and replied with a smile, "Go, I also want to see how hateful goblins are." ”

"Well, men should be so decisive, what about you?" Kunu asked, looking at Archie.

"Me?" Archie was stunned for a moment, "I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't go, you're too thin to have any strength, or go home with the girls." Kunu said, raising an eyebrow.

When Archie heard this, he became anxious on the spot, and he blushed and said loudly: "I'll go! Who said I wouldn't go?!

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Kunu patted Archie on the shoulder and said to him, "That's just like words, it's okay, there are a lot of us, can't a dozen people handle three goblins?"

"Let's go!" Tammon shouted with his hand raised.

The boys raised their arms and shouted, put down their work and began to walk out of the melon orchard.

"Hey, you ......," Zeya shouted angrily, and then could only stomp his foot helplessly.

"Let them go, huh! It has nothing to do with us if something happens. Lula walked over to Zea's side and took her hand.

Zero followed the dwarven boys, and as he passed by the three girls, he whispered to them, "Hurry back to the village and inform the adults." ”

Yi Meng blinked and looked up at Zero and said, "Brother Zero, you ......"

"I can't persuade them now, just in case, you hurry back to the village and inform the adults to come. Zero explained to them in a low voice.

The three girls nodded when they heard this, and Yi Meng looked at Zero and said, "Brother Zero, you have to be careful......"

"Don't worry~" Zero nodded at her and said, "I'm a magician, you should hurry back to the village." ”

Zero watched the figure of the three girls running away, turned around and followed the boys' group.

Zero followed the group across a small plain to the edge of the woods, all standing in front of the alchemy matrix set up by the dwarven ancestors.

In fact, the alchemy matrix is a groove made of metal, which stretches endlessly, connecting end to end to form a huge barrier, surrounding the entire dwarven living area. Zero lowered his head and looked carefully at the enchantment inscription on the alchemy matrix, trying to parse this enchantment but only understood a little bit, it seems that the dwarf clan's enchantment technology is really unfathomable, of course, it is also related to his lack of knowledge in enchantment.

"If it's Sister Qiao, she should be able to unlock this enchantment......" Zero thought to himself.

Kunu asked Xiang Yaqi, "This matrix, can Brother Zero pass?"

"It should be possible...... Archie scratched his head and said, "I've heard Grandpa Kussei say before that the alchemy matrix was set up to resist goblins and high-level demonic beasts, and when the pouring was completed and just cooled down, the blood of goblins and various demonic beasts was sprayed on it, so the matrix will have a designated effect, and it will only activate itself when goblins and demonic beasts are close." ”

"Are you sure?Zero isn't a dwarf, what if he touches the matrix as he passes by?" asked Duno worriedly.

"This ...... I can't tell......" Archie whispered, frowning.

"Just try it. Zero said as he stepped forward.

The others involuntarily took a step back when they saw Zero's movements, and Zero glanced back helplessly, and then stretched out his feet towards the alchemy matrix in front of him.

As soon as he put his foot on the matrix, Zero jerked his foot back, and the people behind him watched Zero's movements and took another half step back. Zero waited for a while and found no response, then stuck his foot out again.

This time, Zero stepped on the matrix steadily, and he looked back with a sigh of relief and said, "It seems to be fine." ”

The tension of the crowd was immediately relieved, and Kunu took a step forward and said, "It's okay, let's go, go and get those goblins back!" ”

"Good!" Tammon agreed, and walked forward.

The crowd shouted and set off for their destination.
