After listening to Colin for a long time, Dylan suddenly realized.

It turns out that although the number of goblins is not as good as before, they are not extinct.

Because the goblins have a keen sense of mineral resources, humans have captured them on a large scale and used them to continuously explore minerals and magic stones.

The luckier of the goblins hid in the mountains and dense forests, and those who were not favored by the gods unfortunately fell victim to the extreme greed of human beings, and became a survey tool in shackles.

And the goblin village where Colin was originally located was also invaded by humans, and Colin was also captured by humans because he was still very young at the time.

Later, by chance, Rick, who was passing by the mine, accidentally saw Colin secretly crying, and secretly rescued Colin from the pit and brought him back to the blacksmith shop.

The empire claims that the goblins are largely extinct. In reality, the goblins have become excellent tools for the nobles of the empire to mine ore.

In order to cover up this cruel reality, the nobles also repeatedly claimed that the goblins were originally the eyes of the demons in the world, responsible for collecting human intelligence for the demons of hell.

After a long time, many humans have left an extremely bad objective impression of the goblin race, so they don't care about their extinction at all, and even gloat a little.

"It's too much!" Dylan said angrily after listening to Colin's story.

Although he was a nobleman of the Empire, he grew up in the city of North Wind in the Arctic Ice Field, so he didn't know about these disgusting claims.

The vicinity of the North Wind City is also relatively scarce, and there are no mineral resources to exploit, so I have never heard of any nobles imprisoning goblins.

"Then why did he lock you up in this little room, isn't it uncomfortable for you to live in it?" Dylan was still confused.

Colin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand Uncle Rick, he is very good to me, really! It's just that the imperial capital is relatively heavily guarded, and there are often guards patrolling the city, Uncle Rick is afraid that I will be seen by others and be arrested as a coolie, so he specially built this room suitable for me to live in." During the day, the small door was blocked by cast materials, and at night Uncle Rick would leave it open and bring me some food and water. ”

Dylan was stunned, and then continued: "Teacher, he is not good at arithmetic, so you will help him settle the accounts every month?"

Colin nodded, "Well, sort of." But don't think about it, I voluntarily settled for him. As long as Uncle Rick gives me a few honey crackers every day... When he went out today, he forgot to buy honey biscuits, and I was a little angry, so I was angry and refused to help him settle the accounts, so he asked you to help him calculate the accounts. ”

In the end, Colin lowered his head a little embarrassed, and a rare reddish appeared on his green and slightly transparent face, which looked really cute and cute.

"No wonder, I knocked on that little window just now, and you put your hand out, do you think the teacher has brought you cookies?" said Dylan as he looked at Colin with a wicked smile on his face.

Colin was exposed by him, and the flush on his face increased a little.

Dylan looked at Colin, then at the small room, and said, "Why don't you live in the attic with me?" ”

There was a glint in Colin's eyes, but he quickly became a little nervous, and said, "Don't do it." They all say... They all say that we goblins are very dirty..."

Later, the voice was barely audible.

"Who said that? What nonsense, I think you're cute, what's dirty. It's just that the clothes on my body are a little torn, so I'll go to Misil Street in two days to see if I can buy some clothes for young children. Dylan said seriously.

Colin's face was full of anticipation and happiness, and it was obvious that he also wanted to have new clothes to wear, but he was too embarrassed to open up to Rick, after all, Rick had already done a lot for him, and Colin didn't want to trouble him anymore.

At this time, Colin has already developed a great affection for Dylan, although his arm has just been broken by this somewhat playful guy, but through the dialogue between the two, Colin can basically conclude that Dylan is a trustworthy person.

"Okay, that's it, you can stay in this hut for the night today, and I'll talk to the teacher tomorrow, after all, there are some things that need his consent. ”

Colin nodded expectantly, and returned to his low room.

Watching Colin drill back, Dylan walked upstairs with peace of mind. Dylan didn't know that his love and concern for Goblin Colin today had changed the fate of the entire Goblin Clan many years later.

Early the next morning, Dylan began pestering Rick, and after a period of hard foaming and repeated reassurances, Rick finally agreed to let Colin live with Dylan in the attic.

However, the premise is that Colin can't go out of the attic so as not to be discovered. Dylan naturally nodded like garlic, and hurriedly agreed, and then he ran to the gate, closed the door, and then called Colin out and told him the good news.

Seeing Colin's overjoyed look, Dylan was naturally very happy. After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old boy, and his playful nature had not yet completely faded, so he immediately threw Colin high in the air, and then ran towards the attic with him.

Rick was so frightened that he kept shouting from behind, "Dylan, slow down, watch your step, don't drop him." ”

Running to the attic, Dylan threw Colin onto the soft bed, and then lay down with Clint.

Colin nestled on the extremely soft pillow, closed his eyes and enjoyed it: "It's so comfortable!"

It's been a long time since he'd left the goblin home, he'd not enjoyed such warmth.

Dylan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Colin's face full of happiness, because of human greed, these lovely elves were ruthlessly mutilated and reduced to tools for human beings to obtain benefits, and those shameful nobles were too cruel.

And according to Colin, it was a great blessing to be able to be rescued from the mine by Rick. There are still many goblins who still live in hellish conditions.

Colin said that when he was working in the mines, the pits often collapsed, and the goblins who went in to probe the veins were naturally the first to suffer, so they would witness the death of their companions every few days.

But for the nobles, the death of these goblins didn't seem to matter, all they cared about was when they would be able to resume production and bring them more benefits.

For some reason, deep down, Dylan seems to have regarded Colin as his younger brother, even though Colin is a goblin who is considered extremely inferior by many people.
