Chapter 47: Encounter with a Goblin

After Diana and Charles set a trap on the ground outside the cave entrance, it was already getting dark.

The two of them lit a bonfire in the open space in the middle of the trap, and then cleaned up a snake they had caught while setting the trap and set it up by the fire to roast it.

Charles was by the fire calculating the expenses and benefits of the mission, "The preliminary estimate is that we lost two dinars. ”

"Just get the job done. Diana was sprinkling salt on the kebabs, "Who told you to be such a non-chief?" ”

"That's a 1 in 6 probability, not a non-chief. Charles argued solemnly.

Diana handed Charles a skewer of roasted snake meat and took the jug from him.

"Those goblins must be almost dead, right?" asked Diana.

Charles took a sip of the cold boiled water in the kettle, and then said: "Theoretically, it's dead, but who can guarantee that no other accidents will happen? ”

Diana said as she ate, "Then wait until tomorrow morning to go in as planned, in case there are one or two left to survive." ”

"Uh-huh. Charles swallowed the snake meat in his mouth and said, "It's okay if you get stabbed to death, but if you get caught by a goblin and give birth, you'll be in trouble." ”

Just as the Steel Fork was about to poke Ru to death with a branch of snake meat on his hand, a slightly accented lingua franca voice came from across the campfire: "Eh, goblins are interested in human girls." ”

Charles and Diana immediately threw the things in their hands towards the place where the sound came from, and then Charles took out his shield and short sword and waited for him, and a white spot of light appeared on the tip of the magic wand in Diana's hand behind him.

Across the campfire stood a green goblin, dressed in dark green trousers and waistcoat, with an equally dark green turban tied around his head, and a scar running through his closed left eye.

He held the kettle and snake skewers that Charles and Diana had just thrown over just now, and his intact right eye was looking at Charles carefully.

"Nervous. The goblin said, "Hma will hurt the descendants of Emperor Catherina." ”

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his face fruit had worked. He said to the goblin in the language of the demons, "Big brother, where are you?"

The goblin threw the kettle and snake skewers in his hand next to where Charles was sitting, and the snake skewers even stuck their tiny ends on the ground. After sitting back on the ground, he replied in the language of the Demon Race: "I am the leader of the First Special Operations Detachment of the Army Special Forces of the Demon King Army, you can call me Goblin A." ”

Charles understood this string, but Diana didn't understand much, so Charles translated it for her.

"Won't you do us any favors?" asked Diana in a lingua franca, her tone thick with distrust.

Goblin A thought that she didn't trust herself because of Charles's words just now, so she said in a lingua franca: "Girl, worry, you have a sharp nose, long ears, a belly, and chest bubbles, your skin is white and flowery like a tofu brain, and you look like an ugly girl in the family, so you are so interested." ”

Diana was complained about by the other party, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

At this time, Charles had already recognized the other party as the legendary "green demon of the demon race" among adventurers, he had no record of killing people for so many years, and because of his own ancestors, he chose to trust the other party temporarily.

Goblin A took out a parchment roll and threw it to Charles, who opened it and found a line inside: "This goblin is trustworthy - Victoria".

Charles had seen the handwriting of the Elven Queen, and the handwriting on the note was similar to the one that had hung in the house before, and the divine power of the god of life contained in the words was not something that anyone else could imitate.

With the endorsement of the elf queen, Charles chose to trust the other party for the time being.

After the two sat down across from the campfire, they asked each other about the purpose of their appearance while being on guard.

"I'm here to hunt down fugitives. Goblin A said, "Last month, we had a sudden heavy rainstorm and a hillside collapse near a roadside inn blocked the road. Rescuers found several bodies tied up in the collapsed mud while repairing the road, and then found a large number of unnatural dead remains on top of the collapsed hillside. Later, after investigation, it was learned that the hotel near the scene of the crime was a black shop that intercepted and killed a lone traveler, and that the store was opened by a local underworld gang. ”

Charles was translating Goblin A's Demon language to Diana, and both of them gasped.

Goblin A took out a cigarette and lit it on the campfire, took a puff, and continued, "That black shop has been open there for several years, and there are more than thirty victims, but it has not been found under the protection of local officials. ”

"Our Demon King, Nicholas II, was furious when he learned of this, and personally presided over the investigation, arrest, and interrogation. ”

"However, the officials who served as the umbrella gathered a few of the little minions who were involved in the same case and fled into the forest first, and I stopped them here after receiving the order. ”

Finally, he pointed to the cave, "As far as I can see, they are hiding inside. ”

At this time, Charles noticed a problem, and he asked: "None of them are strong, why can they pass through the dangerous forest sea?"

Goblin A proudly said, "Because our goblins are the darlings of the jungle, as long as we are careful, we can still cross the forest sea at an acceptable price." ”

"Looks like we've helped you. Charles said to Goblin A.

Goblin A threw the cigarette butt into the campfire, pointed to the mouth of the cave and said, "Can you open it and let me in? If they're all dead, I'll take their bodies out, and all I need is a finger of theirs to bring back." ”

Charles said with some hesitation: "The terrain inside is very complicated, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous." ”

Goblin A grinned at Charles and said, "Do you know why my name is Goblin A?"

Charles shook his head.

"Because I'm the strongest goblin in the world!" replied.

The cloth that sealed the cave was torn off, and Charles took a dagger blower to blow air into the cave, and a large amount of air poured into the depths of the cave under the leadership of the wind element, and a pungent smell rushed out of the cave.

The pointed nose of Goblin A, who was standing in front of the entrance of the cave, shook a few times, and then said to Charles, "Count you ruthless." ”

Sensing that the fresh air inside the cave was enough, Goblin A ignored the charcoal on the ground that had been resurrected by the arrival of the fresh air, and rushed into the cave like lightning.
