Chapter 33: This Snow Is Not the Right Time
The imperial capital in the heavy snow is extraordinarily quiet, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets, and in such a cold weather, who would want to leave the warm stove and run outside?
Except for Dylan and Colin.
The street is unusually deserted, although there is not a single pedestrian in sight. But on the soft snow on the ground, there was a footprint that stretched all the way to the city gate.
As the trail continued to expand, Dylan soon took Colin out of town.
It turned out that Dylan had hidden Colin in his loose clothes, and then used the "vanishing" magic to escape from the Gomore blacksmith with Colin with him.
Out of the city gates, Dylan led Colin up the mountain, and then, in a very remote wood, Dylan withdrew the "vanishing" technique.
"Alright, now you can come out!" Dylan said.
Colin's small head slowly poked out of Colin's clothes, and when he finally looked around, he saw that there was no one, and he jumped out with a cheer.
Colin laughed happily as he rolled in the snow. He slowly picked up a handful of snowflakes, licked them lightly with his tongue, and then said happily: "It's really snow, snow with no taste at all!"
Dylan smiled and said, "Snowflakes have no taste!"
But Dylan didn't know that Colin hadn't touched a snowflake for years, and hadn't been able to roll and jump on the earth so freely for many years, and what happened today seemed like a dream to Colin.
Colin played in the snow for a long time, and finally got tired of playing, and finally simply lay down in the snowdrift, looking at the vast sky, and the snowflakes kept falling from above, falling on Colin's forehead, and then gradually melting.
Dylan walked over to Colin and sat down.
"Dylan, thank you!" Colin said with great sincerity.
Dylan didn't speak, choosing to be a quiet listener.
"I consider myself so lucky to have been rescued from the mine by Uncle Rick, and now I have met a good friend and brother like you, who helped me build a new home, bought me a lot of new clothes, and now brought me out to reconnect with the world. I'm really satisfied, I'm very happy!" said that, Colin's eyes were already full of tears, but there was a happy smile on his face.
"I don't know what happened to my fellow people who are still working hard in the mines. Colin wiped away his tears, then stood up, "Let's go back quickly, it won't be good if Uncle Rick finds out." ”
Dylan knew that Colin must be missing his fellow creatures, but Dylan was not in a position to help those poor, helpless and lovely creatures.
Just as Dylan was about to take Colin back, Dylan suddenly noticed that someone was coming. He quickly hid Colin in his arms, and then recited the incantation, and Dylan disappeared in an instant.
It didn't take long for someone to speak.
"Are you sure there will be goblins here? This is the outskirts of the imperial capital, so close to the imperial capital, how can there be goblins?What are you kidding?" a shrill voice sounded.
"This Morahund of mine has a very good nose, and has helped many nobles catch goblins before, and he has never missed it! he has been barking in this direction just now, and he must have smelled the breath of goblins!" replied another, slightly thicker voice.
When Dylan heard their conversation, he secretly screamed in his heart! When they came just now, they did pass a small shed, and a yellow hound was tethered to it. And when Dylan and the others passed by incognito, the hound seemed to sense something and barked a few times.
At the time, Dylan didn't take the matter to heart, thinking that the hound just smelled a stranger, so he barked. Who would have thought that the hound had been trained to hunt down goblins.
Soon, two people appeared next to a large tree not far away, and one of them, a fat fellow, led a yellow hound, which was the same one that Dylan had just seen.
At this time, Dylan's heart became even more nervous, although he used "disappear", but it could not hide the smell of himself and Colin.
"Where are the goblins, are you dog frozen stupid? There is not even a ghost here, where are the goblins! Running out on such a cold day is tired, I am really full and have nothing to do!" The tall and thin man shuddered, and couldn't help but wrap his clothes tighter.
After saying this, the tall and thin man turned around and was about to leave, but the short and fat man on the side grabbed him: "Don't worry, I've already said it, my Mora Hound has never made a mistake." Since it brought us here, there must be something wrong here. ”
Then the fat man touched the hound's head and whispered, "Old man, I know you won't play tricks on us, where is that goblin, go and help us find out!"
The Moran Hound sniffed on the ground before slowly walking in Dylan's direction.
At this time, Dylan's heartbeat continued to accelerate, and Colin, who was hiding in Dylan's arms, also tried to hold his breath and did not dare to make the slightest sound. The goblins, who were already relatively timid, were frightened by the Mora Hound at this time, and Colin couldn't help but start to tremble.
As the Mora Hound kept getting closer, Dylan's heart was already on his throat.
The hound, on the other hand, stopped two meters in front of Dylan, and then barked at Dylan incessantly.
The fat and the thin in the distance couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw doubt in each other's eyes, because the direction the hound was facing was indeed empty.
The two of them exchanged colors, then each drew their weapons and walked over to where Dylan was standing.
At this time, where does Dylan dare to move, as long as he moves, his footprints will definitely be left on the ground. Dylan couldn't help but curse in his heart: this snow is really not at the right time.
Soon, the two men walked up to Dylan, and the fat man's scimitar tentatively stabbed Dylan in the direction.
Dylan was about to be stabbed, so he immediately whispered a spell and used the "flash" to move five or six meters to the side of his body.
In this way, Dylan's "disappearance" also loses its effect. Because once the second magic is used, then the effect of disappearing will be invalid.
Seeing that a young figure suddenly appeared not far away, and a small green head was faintly visible on his chest, the two of them were overjoyed and rushed towards Dylan.
What does a goblin mean to them? It means being able to get thousands of gold coins out of the nobles' water, which is a huge amount for them.
