Chapter 22: Goblin Village

After walking through the forest path, through a section of bushes, and after a long journey, Zheng Ming was taken to their village by the Goblin Five.

"Lord Slime, please wait a moment. I'm going to inform the village chief and ask him to come out and greet him personally. ”

Zheng Ming, who walked to the door and was stopped by the guards, didn't think much about it, but just asked him to go early and return early and began to look at the goblin village.

Unlike Lionheart, which is made of mud and stone and has a pale yellow color, it is very shabby.

In Zheng Ming's view, although Lionheart City is not beautiful, at least it is a place for people to live, and although the building as a whole seems too rough, it is also majestic and solid.

Take a look here......

A tent-like house made of haphazard trees with a layer of hay on top. Zheng Ming even doubted that such a house could shelter from the rain. Judging from the houses, Zheng Ming estimates that there should be no too cold winter here. Otherwise, if it was really snowing, the goblins here would have died in the freezing weather.

Between the haphazard and haphazard houses are muddy and dirty streets. Or not even a street. Stained goblin kids chase and play bare-ass. As they ran, a cloud of muddy water was trampled on and splashed up, landing on top of their companions. But they continued to laugh unconsciously.

The village is surrounded by a wooden fence. It is said that the fence is actually a wooden stake that is inserted crookedly into the earth, surrounding the village. At this time, behind the only so-called "gate" that did not have a wooden stake, two goblin guards armed with bows and arrows and scimitars were staring at Zheng Ming and the others vigilantly.

"Alas~ I thought I could rub food and wine. I can sleep in a comfortable house. I didn't expect them to be so poor. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's emotion, Lucy said, "They're too dirty, aren't they?" It's going to stain my hair. ”

"Oh, auntie, let's just go in the wilderness. People can't look good, maybe they actually have unique food? ”

"I don't think it's better to go in. It's not like you didn't hear what they said when we first met. ”

"Hey, hey. Underestimate me, huh? I have observed along the way, and they do not have the fluctuation of Yuan Qi, and their physical fitness is not high. The equipment on the body is even more tattered, and it is estimated that the two of us can kill them by any of us. The most important thing is that they are not fast and we can run away at any time. ”

"That's the five of them. Who knows if the old thing in the village is powerful. ”

"Rest assured. The mountain people have their own tricks. The deity had already planned it. Make sure they don't dare to act recklessly. Hey. Besides, most of the memories that Fuyao gives you are the precautions for cultivation, and there is no detailed introduction to the nearby forces and terrain or anything. How can local forces be reliable? After all, the weak who don't fall into her eyes can easily ravage us. ”

Seeing Zheng Ming patting his chest to ensure that he was okay, Lucy asked suspiciously, "What you said seems to make sense." But what's your trick? I haven't seen you do anything, have you? ”

"Haha~ The secret of heaven must not be revealed. In a moment you will know the wisdom of the deity. ”

"Huh? I think you're itchy again, aren't you? Return to the Buddha? Addicted to deception? You said I was far inferior to you, didn't you? Come on, let me see what I am inferior to you? ”

Seeing Zheng Ming, who sold Guan Zi with a proud face, Lucy gritted her teeth with hatred, and pounced on her claws with her teeth and claws.

"Knock~knock~knock~."

With a trill, the sound of a water balloon beating came one after another, and after rolling Zheng Ming a few times, Lucy jumped up and pressed Zheng Ming under her.

The four fleshy claws tightly held Zheng Ming, and Lucy grabbed and bit at Zheng Ming.

"Huh? You can't bite me. Say! Is it taking advantage of me? ”

"Huh? Dead slugs. I'll let you know how good I am today. See that I don't bite you to death. ”

"Yo Yo Yo? Still biting me? I hurt so much~, oops~, it hurts me. ”

Zheng Ming's arrogant shouting and shameless act of death succeeded in angering Lucy. Lucy, who was worried that she would hurt the other party, suddenly stretched out her sharp nails, and the force on her mouth began to increase.

"Ah~. It hurts, it hurts. I was wrong. I was wrong. I'll tease you. Take your claws back. ”

Zheng Ming, who was finally hurt by Lucy, who got serious, really howled miserably. A cat and a slime suddenly hugged each other and rolled together.

Hearing the description of the patrol team, the goblin village chief hurried to greet him, and saw this scene in front of him. He glanced at the goblin warrior behind him with a puzzled face, and said tentatively and softly to the duo in front of him, "Lord Slime? Lord Lucie? ”

Hearing the call, Zheng Ming and the two hurriedly separated. Zheng Ming flicked the grass clippings on his body, realizing that the actions of the two of them just now were in full view of the other party, and finally blew them out...... Ahem, the image of the master has been on the verge of collapse. It quickly straightened its posture and tried to save its image.

"Hmm...... Ahem. You're the village chief here? ”

"It's down there."

"What did you just see?"

With the simultaneous use of the talent "Majesty" and the skill "Shock", the Goblin Village Chief was indeed shocked by the momentum exuded by Zheng Ming.

I saw him touch the cold sweat on his forehead, glared at the strange-eyed goblin warriors behind him, and said respectfully, "We didn't see anything. Lord Slime and Master Lucy are indeed masters, and they act according to their preferences. It can be seen below that the two adults must have a deep friendship. ”

"Oh? Since you haven't seen anything, how do you see that we have a deep friendship? Informal? ”

"This ...... This, this, this. ”

Seeing that the goblin village chief was speechless, wiping the beads of sweat that appeared on his forehead one after another, Zheng Ming put away his "majesty" and "shock".

He chuckled and said to the Goblin Village Chief in front of him, "Alright. I don't embarrass you anymore. Lead the way, right? We still have to hurry. I just wanted to ask about the surrounding situation and rest for a day or two. It won't be long before it's gone. ”

"Oh, okay. Please follow me. ”

Hearing what Zheng Ming said, the goblin village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly turned around and led them into the village.

……

In the Goblin Chief's house, Zheng Ming and Lucy were invited to a throne paved with animal skins. In front of them lay a verdant leaf, on which lay boiled pieces of whitish meat. It's a pity that the piece of meat that was presented for Zheng Ming and the others to enjoy was pushed aside by Lucy with a disgusted face.

At this time, Zheng Ming, who was held in Lucy's arms, showed half of his body and looked at the first goblin village chief and goblin priest who were respectful.

Unlike the young and vigorous goblin village chief, the goblin priest is very old, and the red wrinkled skin is unknown whether it was painted or born. Zheng Ming could see in the other party's eyes that the light was completely different from that of other goblins. This kind of look is called wisdom if it sounds good, and treacherous if it is not good.

Realizing that this old goblin priest might not be as easy to fool as the other goblins, Zheng Ming's eyes rolled wildly, and just as he was still thinking about how to speak, a hoarse and rough voice like metal friction came from the mouth of the old goblin priest below.

"I wonder if adults are satisfied with the food?"

"Is this goblin blind?"

Glancing at the piece of meat that had been pushed aside by Lucy and had never moved a point, Zheng Ming said a word in his heart. His face looked at the old goblin priest with an interested expression.

"Let's not rush the food. But you, why is your skin color red different from theirs? Is it innate? And you're the only goblin I've seen this old since I've been here. How old are you. ”

"The priest's skin is ......."

The old goblin priest stretched out his hand to interrupt the village chief's words, and he glanced deeply at Zheng Ming, who was about to open his mouth to explain.

"Oh no. Monsters have invaded the village. ”

"Let's go up together. Wiped it out. ”

"Swords and arrows are useless against it."

There was a commotion outside, and the grass curtain at the door of the tent was lifted by a goblin archer.

"The village chief, the priest. Oh no....... ”

Seeing that the goblin archer swallowed wildly and didn't say the following words due to the urgency of the goblin archer, the impatient goblin village chief hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Say it. ”

"Monster...... Monsters have invaded,"

"What monster?"

Hearing the village chief's question, the goblin archer raised his head to look at Zheng Ming on the opposite side, and then stopped.

"Now is the time to take care of outsiders? Say it! Hey, forget it. Everybody come with me. ”

Seeing that the goblin archers were reluctant to speak, the village chief immediately roared angrily and rushed out first. The strong men in the village who were qualified to enter the tent followed one after another.

Only the lazily yawning Lucy and Zheng Ming below him were left in the seat, as well as the old goblin priest with a flickering look in his eyes and an expressionless face.

The originally lively and crowded welcome banquet suddenly became deserted.
